TheVerge is Technology News Science Culture Amerikaanse technologienieuwswebsite die wordt beheerd door Vox Media en sinds 2011 verslag doet van het snijvlak van technologie, wetenschap, kunst en cultuur. De redactie, oorspronkelijk opgericht door voormalige Engadget-medewerkers, combineert razendsnelle nieuwsgaring met diepgravende reportages over hoe smartphones, AI, sociale netwerken en klimaattechnologie het dagelijks leven vormgeven. Met een jongvolwassen publiek in het vizier publiceert The Verge dagelijks tientallen artikelen, video’s en podcasts die zowel de laatste geruchten over een iPhone-lancering als een 5.000-woord essay over de ethiek van algoritmes aan bod laten komen. De homepage ververst elk uur met breaking news: een nieuwe EU-wet die USB-C verplicht stelt, een onverwachte overname van een gamingstudio of een Tesla-firmware-update die de remweg verkort. Elk stuk krijgt een opvallende header-afbeelding in kenmerkende felgekleurde stijl en een duidelijke tag zoals “Mobile”, “Policy” of “Science”. Daarnaast verschijnt er een rode “Live” banner wanneer redacteuren een Apple- of Google-event minuut per minuut volgen met gifs, foto’s en korte analyses. Achter de snelle berichtgeving schuilt ambitieuze langvorm. De serie “Road to 5G” volgde drie jaar lang ingenieurs, beleidsmakers en telco’s om uit te leggen waarom een technologie die 20 Gbps belooft uiteindelijk vooral betere batterijduur oplevert. “The Gadget Lab” podcast, wekelijks gedownload door 300.000 luisteraars, bespreekt of een nieuwe gadget de upgrade waard is en nodigt ontwerpers uit om ontwerpkeuzes toe te lichten. Video-eenheid “The Verge Science” produceert 4K-minidocumentaires over Mars-rovers of quantumcomputers die op YouTube meer dan een miljoen views halen. Productreviews gebeuren volgens een strak protocol. Elk toestel doorloopt een week van real-world gebruik: een telefoon moet honderd foto’s in het donker schieten, een laptop draait een 4K-export van Premiere Pro en een smartwatch meet hartslag tijdens een halve marathon. Scores lopen van 0 tot 10, maar The Verge kiest bewust geen “Editor’s Choice”-stickers; in plaats daarvan legt het de bevindingen naast de prijs en de concurrentie uit in een 3-minuten video-review zodat lezers zelf kunnen beslissen. De beruchte “Nilay Patel iPhone-review” wordt elk jaar door meer dan twee miljoen mensen bekeken, mede dankzij de kenmerkende droge humor en macro-opnames van schermranden. De site investeert sterk in interactieve formats. Een verhaal over klimaatverandering bevat een scroll-kaart die laat zien hoe uw woonkamer in 2100 onder water kan komen staan; een stuk over chipfabricage laat via WebGL zien hoe een 3 nm-transistor in elkaar zit. De “Verge Tech Survey” peilt jaarlijks 50.000 Amerikaanse jongvolwassenen over hun app-gebruik, privacy-zorgen en merkloyaliteit – data die vervolgens openbaar wordt gepubliceerd voor journalisten en analisten. Met bureaus in New York, San Francisco, Londen en Seoul bereikt The Verge maandelijks 35 miljoen unieke bezoekers, waarvan 45 % buiten de Verenigde Staten. Advertenties zijn duidelijk gemarkeerd, maar het merk werkt ook aan membership: lezers kunnen een jaarlijkse bijdrage geven om tracker-vrije artikelen en exclusieve nieuwsbrieven te ontvangen. Van een snelle tweet over een lekte Pixel-foto tot een 8.000 woorden tellend profiel van een DeepMind-onderzoeker, The Verge verklaart hoe technologie onze samenleving herschept – en waarom dat ertoe doet.

FAQ

Why doesn't Apple offer discounts during Black Friday, while third-party retailers provide deals?

Apple maintains strict brand pricing and offers gift cards ($50–$200 value) instead of direct discounts. Third-party retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy negotiate their own independent profit margins and choose to provide actual dollar-off discounts directly to consumers purchasing products.​

What inventory risks occur if I delay my purchase until the official Black Friday date?

M4 MacBook Air and iPad Air M3 models historically sell out within 24–48 hours at Black Friday prices. Popular colors, storage configurations, and screen sizes become unavailable quickly. Delaying until November 28 significantly limits your available options and product selection.​

Should I budget for AppleCare+ protection costs when planning my total Black Friday purchase?

AppleCare+ receives no discounts during Black Friday, but you can add coverage within 60 days of purchase. Monthly costs vary: Apple Watch ($3.99–$4.99), iPhone ($7.99–$11.99) depending on model and device type. Always budget these protection expenses separately from your initial purchase price.​

What price adjustment and price-match policies apply if deals drop further after my purchase?

Best Buy allows price adjustments through January 15, 2026 for November-December purchases made now. Target extends price-matching through December 24, 2025 for holiday season purchases. Amazon automatically price-matches Best Buy, Walmart, Target competitors on identical items sold by each retailer.​

How do 2025 Black Friday prices compare to October's Prime Day sale on the same products?

October Prime Day offered better values on certain items: iPad Air M3 was $449, now $549. M4 MacBook Air at $749.99 remains competitive. Black Friday provides significantly broader product selection, colors, and storage options despite similar or higher individual pricing.​

Is purchasing Certified Refurbished Apple devices better than current Black Friday new pricing?

Apple Certified Refurbished offers 15–30% annual discounts year-round with one-year warranties included. Black Friday new pricing typically undercuts refurbished costs significantly: AirPods Pro 2 costs just $139 new versus $189 refurbished options. New Black Friday deals provide superior value currently.​
