Monarch Money deal: New users get one year of access for only $50

The start of the new year is a great time to get your finances in order, and a good budgeting app can help with that. Instead of laboring over a spreadsheet, you can try one of our favorite budgeting apps for less than usual. Monarch Money is running a sale that gives new users 50 percent off one year of the service, bringing the final cost down to just $50. Just use the code NEWYEAR2026 at checkout to get the discount. Monarch Money makes for a capable and detailed budgeting companion. You can use the service via apps for iOS, Android, iPadOS or the web, and Monarch also offers a Chrome extension that can sync your Amazon and Target transactions and automatically categorize them. Like other budgeting apps, Monarch Money lets you connect multiple financial accounts and track your money based on where you spend it over time. Monarch offers two different approaches to tracking budgeting (flexible and category budgeting) depending on what fits your life best, and the ability to add a budget widget on your phone so you can know how you're tracking that month. How budgeting apps turn your raw transactions into visuals you can understand at a glance is one of the big things that differentiates one app from another, and Monarch Money offers multiple graphs and charts to look at for things like spending, investments or categories of your choice based on how you've labelled your expenses. The app can also monitor the spending of you and your partner all in one place, to make it easier to plan together. The main drawbacks Engadget found in testing Monarch Money were the app's learning curve, and the differences in features (and bugginess) between Monarch's web and mobile versions. Still, for 50 percent off, the Monarch Money is well worth experimenting with if you're trying to save money in 2026, especially if you want to do it collaboratively with a partner.

The one feature I consider essential in a gaming mouse

The one feature I consider essential in a gaming mouse

We’re spoilt for features in gaming mice these days. Flawless sensors, optical switches, and barely there lightweight chassis are the name of the game and these features never cease to impress me when I open a new gaming mouse box. But as fancy as they are, there’s only one key feature that I look for time and time again, and if a mouse doesn’t have it, it’s a big disappointment. What is it? It’s a tall hump on the back of the mouse. Let me explain why this feature is so important. The main benefit here is support for the hand and the wrist. In a nutshell the hump supports the hand and prevents friction between your wrist and the tabletop. But it also aids performance. The hump comes in most contact with your palm, so it becomes the central point through which you can drive the mouse’s movement. Because of that, mice with humps usually allow for ultra-fine precision control. You can move and counter-move without moving your hand much at all. Where the hump is located is crucial to get right when it comes to the different types of mouse grips, though. If the hump is in the wrong position, you risk getting a sore wrist. Pexels: Atahan Demir Mice with humps towards their back end like the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 and Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro favor palm grippers. These mice provide wrists with plenty of lift off of a tabletop allowing you to swipe and glide with minimal friction. Because your wrist is elevated, it’s less likely to get sore. Mice with more centrally located humps, however, are better suited to claw grippers who curl their hands over the front end. You can find this kind of hump in mice like the Alienware Pro Wireless and Corsair M75 Air Wireless . In these mice the back end falls away more steeply, which isn’t suitable for palm grippers, but fine for claw grippers that have most contact with the front half of the mouse. Avoiding injury, therefore, is about getting a mouse with a hump in the right place for your grip type — a hump towards the back end for palm grippers and a hump more centrally located for claw grippers. That’s mice with humps covered. There are gaming mice without large humps and quite flat designs. These mice lack the central spot to drive movement and require more hand contact for control. That means the precision control isn’t there. Without support there’s more contact between your wrist and the tabletop which can lead to a sore wrist, too. Because of that, you’ll want to avoid these mice at all costs. So, if you’re after a new gaming mouse, do yourself a favor and get one with a large hump on the back. Your wrist will thank you for the extra support and your gaming will be better for it. Related content Ergonomic mice feel great, but are they any good for gaming?

Analysts caught flat-footed as iPhone supply, not demand, capped growth

Analysts caught flat-footed as iPhone supply, not demand, capped growth

Apple's latest earnings blew away expectations, and the magnitude of the success took almost every analyst by surprise. Here's what they're saying now to catch up to the new reality made clear by the blockbuster announcement. The iPhone 17 lineup is exceedingly popular For the quarter ended December 27, 2025, Apple reported $143.8 billion in revenue, up 16% year over year, with earnings per share of $2.84. iPhone revenue climbed 23% to $85.3 billion, and Apple told investors to expect March-quarter revenue growth of 13% to 16%, alongside gross margins between 48% and 49%. Analysts largely agreed on what was driving the results. Demand remains strong across regions and product tiers, but tight supplies of key components are now the main factor limiting how much Apple can grow in the near term.
