Find Great Deals With Google’s New Price-Comparison Tool

Here’s some good news for those of you dreading online shopping as the holidays approach: Google is making it easier to compare prices on Google Shopping.

Google’s little portal of products will now show the lowest and highest prices a specific product ever hit, as well as how a particular store’s price compares to others. Unlike other apps that only track certain stores, Google’s “price insights” are pulled from all retailers in Google Shopping’s listings—a pretty big list if you’re looking to score a deal.

While this feature is still rolling out, which means you might not see it yet, here are the three ways to compare an item’s price via Google:

Find it in the Google Shopping mobile app (Android/iOS)
Search for it on shopping.google.com
Use a regular ol’ Google Search and click the “Shopping” tab at the top of the results page.

Select the product from the search results, and then check the new “Typical prices across the web” section. You’ll see a range of available prices displayed as a blue bar, with the specific retailer’s current listing highlighted somewhere along the bar to indicate if it’s more or less expensive compared to other stores.

If you’re happy with the price, click “Visit Page” to purchase the item from the retailer’s website, or click “Buying Options” to see what other stores are offering—including shipping and curbside pickup options. You can also toggle “Track Price” to set up price notifications if you’d rather wait for a sale. All of your tracked products can be found in the “My Activity” menu in the Google Shopping app or shopping.google.com.

You also don’t have to go through Google to find the best deals. There are plenty of other tools you can use to compare prices and save you money. Our favorites include CamelCamelCamel, which compares prices on Amazon; notification extensions like Visualping, which tell you when content changes on websites (like a price); and NowInStock, which is an incredible way to actually get your hands on hard-to-find products.

Juggling all these services could be a chore, so those who don’t mind doing yet another online task through Google’s ecosystem will probably enjoy how Google Shopping is simplifying price tracking.

Apple will replace AirPods Pro for free with faulty noise cancellation, static or crackling

Today, exactly one year after Apple first launched the AirPods Pro — and thus the same day the very first AirPods Pro owners will see their one-year warranties expire — Apple has launched a repair program that offers free repairs or replacements for another whole year if your AirPods Pro experience issues with noise cancellation or static.

Specifically, Apple will fix:

Crackling or static sounds that increase in loud environments, with exercise or while talking on the phone

Active Noise Cancellation not working as expected, such as a loss of bass sound, or an increase in background sounds, such as street or airplane noise

Apple says only a “small percentage of AirPods Pro” are affected by the issues, but it apparently wasn’t just an early batch — Apple says affected units were manufactured “before October 2020,” meaning every AirPods Pro ever made might be eligible. That’s quite a recall if so. Apple says it will repair faulty AirPods Pro for two years after you first buy them.

We’ve heard complaints about degraded noise cancellation before, and at least one Verge editor has replaced their AirPods Pro under warranty. It’s nice to hear that Apple isn’t just cutting buyers off as soon as that warranty expires.
