The chorus of reports regarding a drop in iPhone orders continues to grow louder. While we previously saw reports claiming that Apple recently slashed its orders for the iPhone XR amidst lower than anticipated demand, The Wall Street Journal is now reporting that Apple in recent weeks told its manufacturing partners to trim orders across all models of its 2018 iPhone lineup.

Now is this a reason to panic or a serious cause for concern? Truthfully, it’s too soon to tell. As the Journal casually suggests, the issue may not solely be related to a sudden drop in demand as much as it may center on the inherent difficulty involved with predicting demand for three brand new devices. Recall, Apple’s 2018 iPhone lineup is the most varied lineup from the company we’ve ever seen.

Sonos announced its deals for Black Friday 2018 last week, and we have good news and bad news if you missed it. The good news is that the company is offering sweet discounts on the Sonos Beam, Sonos One, and Sonos SUB speakers. The bad news is that the company isn’t offering discounts on any other speakers. If you’re looking for discounts on two of Sonos’ best-selling speakers ever — the Playbar sound bar and Play:1 — you won’t find anything on the Sonos website. As it turns out, however, Amazon already has early Black Friday deals live right now on both of these great speakers.

The Playbar sound bar sells for $699 on its own on the Sonos website and from all of Sonos’ retail partners. But for the same $699 on Amazon, you can now get the Sonos Playbar TV Soundbar with Sonos Wall Mount Kit + $50 Amazon Gift Card. That effectively drops the price to $649, plus you get a free OEM wall mount! If you’re looking for a deal on the Play:1, you can snag a Two Room Set with Sonos Play:1 + $30 Amazon Gift Card for $298, the same amount you would pay for two Play:1 speakers from Sonos. That makes the price just $268, or $81 less than you’ll pay for one Apple HomePod.

Sonos Playbar TV Soundbar with Sonos Wall Mount Kit + $50 Amazon Gift Card

• Playbar complements HD television screens with crisp and powerful sound from nine amplified speaker drivers. Wirelessly streams all your favorite music services too.
• Playbar syncs wirelessly with other Sonos speakers so you can listen to TV or music in perfect sync, throughout your home.
• Playbar has simple two-cord setup. One for power and one for the TV. Control from your existing TV remote, or wirelessly connect on the Sonos app from your smart device.
• Wall Mount makes Playbar easy to install to any wall with pegs in precisely the right place.
• Wall Mount allows for placement horizontally above or below your TV
• Add even more Sonos speakers to experience wireless audio throughout your home.

Sonos Playbar TV Soundbar with Sonos Wall Mount Kit + $50 Amazon Giftcard: $649.00 (incl. gift card value)

Two Room Set with Sonos Play:1 + $30 Amazon Gift Card

• Works with Alexa for voice control (Alexa device sold separately)
• Fill two separate rooms with different music, or link them together to hear the same song in both. Great surround speakers for your Sonos home theater, too
• Versatile, compact fit. Place them wherever you want and enjoy rich, room-filling sound
• Streams all your favorite music services like Amazon Music Unlimited, Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music and more
• Easy 10-minute wi-fi set up. No Bluetooth pairing problems or interruptions
• Connects wirelessly to Sonos speakers in other rooms so you can expand your Home Sound System when you’re ready

For the past year, we’ve told you about the Amazfit Bip Smartwatch by Huami pretty much every time it went on sale. Why? Because this awesome smartwatch works with iPhone and Android, it has a gorgeous screen, it monitors heart rate all day long, it has built-in sleep tracking, and it lasts for up to 30-days on a single charge. That’s a full month! It launched at $100 but has since dropped to $80, and tens of thousands of our readers have bought it on sale for around $70. If you haven’t yet gotten in on the action or if you know someone who might like a smartwatch for the holidays, you’re in luck because this puppy just dropped to a new all-time low… and it’s nuts!

The Amazfit Bip was supposed to go on sale this week for $60.99 for Black Friday, and that would’ve already been the best price we’ve ever seen. Someone messed up and left an on-site $10 coupon live following the price drop though, which means you can snag this awesome smartwatch in any color for just $50.99! This mistake will probably be corrected soon, so take advantage while you still can.

Amazfit Bip Smartwatch by Huami with All-Day Heart Rate and Activity Tracking, Sleep Monitoring…: $50.99

• Look as Good as You Feel: With a range of colors and options, the Bip is designed to be worn as an extension of your personal style. Weighing only 1.1oz (32g), and with a bright, transflective always-on 1.28″ display, the Bip can be worn all day.
• Go the Distance: Use the Amazfit Bip for up to 30 days on a single 2.5-hour charge.
• Don’t Miss a Beat: Optical heart rate monitoring and built-in GPS allow you to accurately track in real-time your steps taken, distance traveled, calories burned, and quality of sleep.
