November 23, 2025, 1:54 AM EST. Valve is still tight-lipped on the Steam Frame price, despite hands-on impressions and team interviews. Early reporting suggests it will be cheaper than the full Valve Index kit ($999), with educated guesses placing it in the roughly $500-$1000 range. Customers may see two storage options-256GB and 1TB-likely creating about a $100 gap between models. The headset combines a 6GHz wireless PC tether with ARM hardware capable of running Steam games natively, and it can also display non-VR content in a theater-like space. When stacked against the Meta Quest 3, the Frame's specs look competitive, though price will be crucial for adoption. Valve says details will emerge closer to a 2026 launch.

November 23, 2025, 1:52 AM EST. Apple's Black Friday 2025 event pairs its gift-card-style pricing with Apple Card perks to maximize savings. Apple offers up to $250 in gift cards on select Macs, $100 on iPads, and smaller amounts on iPhones and AirPods, with the sale running Friday through Monday. The real value for Apple shoppers comes from using Apple Card: choose Apple Card Monthly Installments at checkout for 0% APR, and receive 3% Daily Cash back on Apple purchases-immediately when you pay via Monthly Installments. This combination often beats outright discounts, especially for big-ticket items. However, depending on your list, retailers like Amazon may still offer better deals on some items. If you're shopping Apple, this is a strong way to save while spreading payments over time.
