Tech Deals & Steam Deck Woes: Save Now!

Apple Watch deals, Steam Deck shortages, and noise-canceling headphone discounts are among the top tech stories making headlines this week. According to The Verge, consumers can find significant savings on Apple Watches, particularly on older models, while also saving on the newer Series 11 and SE 3. Meanwhile, Valve's Steam Deck is facing intermittent availability due to memory and storage shortages, as reported by Ars Technica. Additionally, Wired highlights a sale on Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2 headphones, offering a 50% discount.

The Verge reported that Apple launched its latest smartwatches in September, including the Apple Watch Series 11, the SE 3, and the Ultra 3. These newer models offer the latest features and software updates, making them a good investment for future-proofing your smartwatch, according to a multi-source report from The Verge. However, the introduction of these new wearables has also increased the number of Apple Watch models on the market.

Ars Technica reported that Valve announced a delay in the release of its new Steam Machine desktop and Steam Frame VR headset due to memory and storage shortages that have been impacting the PC industry since late 2025. These shortages are now affecting existing products, with the Steam Deck page noting that the device would be out-of-stock intermittently in some regions. Currently, none of the three listed Steam Deck configurations are available for purchase, nor are any of the certified refurbished configurations that Valve sometimes offers.

In other tech news, Wired reported a significant discount on the Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2 headphones. The headphones, known for their incredible active noise canceling, are available for $399 on Amazon, a 50% discount. The sale includes both Black and Driftwood Sand colors.

Finally, Nature News highlighted the impact of smartphones in classrooms, noting a conflict between conventional teaching methods and the realities of students who grew up using digital technologies.
