It’s officially time for Apple Music subscribers to recap their year in music. The 2025 Apple Music Replay is now available in Apple Music, providing a personalized look back at your year in music listening habits.

Apple has announced that John Giannandrea, the company’s Machine Learning and AI Strategy boss, is retiring from the company. The move may not come as a surprise for anyone closely following Apple and its AI missteps over the last few years.

We mentioned last week that in iOS 26.1, Apple changed how the Clock app icon’s seconds hand moves in low power mode. Instead of continuously moving, the seconds hand ticks with each second like a quartz clock.

Analog faces on new Apple Watches have a similar behavior, using a sweeping seconds hand in active mode and a ticking seconds hand in always on mode. If you’re like me and prefer the quartz-like movement, there’s a workaround that can help.

Looking for a free way to add a little cheer to your Mac for the holidays? Snowy is a free Mac App Store app that includes Christmas lights, a fun snow effect, and a festive, Aqua-inspired wallpaper.

Starting with iOS 26.1, Apple has updated the Clock app icon to work a lot more like an Apple Watch.

A year ago, Festivitas charmed us by hanging Christmas lights from the Mac’s menu bar and Dock. Now Festivitas is back with two new features for macOS and the first version for iPhone and iPad.

Last week, Apple TV abruptly pulled The Hunt from its December release schedule and scrubbed virtually all marketing material for the series. A new report explains what likely happened and why we shouldn’t expect to see the series return.

Spotify is already planning its next price increase, according to a new report.

Apple has confirmed that it recently cut a number of jobs within its sales division. While layoffs are common in the tech industry, Apple treats job cuts as a last resort option.

Anthropic has announced its latest AI model with Claude Opus 4.5. The company has also expanded Claude Code availability to the Claude desktop app for the first time.

Shopping research is already a popular use of AI. Now ChatGPT is adding a new tool that makes finding the right products even easier.

At Emerson Collective’s Demo Day, Laurene Powell Jobs got Jony Ive and Sam Altman to open up a bit more about what they’re building together.

In the interview, the duo reveal that they have their first AI hardware prototypes and expect to start building the product in less than two years.

It’s Thanksgiving week in the United States, and Apple TV is giving viewers around the world one more reason to be thankful.

Apple has confirmed that the fifth episode of Pluribus will arrive earlier than expected this week.

Apple News readers will see one less source in the app starting today. A major media partner has pulled its content from Apple’s News app after a decade.

Update: OpenAI has expanded the rollout globally after just one week. More details follow the original post.

OpenAI is piloting a pretty big ChatGPT feature in select markets. The company is rolling out the ability to have group chats with ChatGPT for the first time.
