Notion has introduced a long-awaited feature, adding offline mode to the AI-powered project hub. However, documents don’t just work offline by default.

Thunderbolt 5 is still fairly new, with the newest MacBook Pro bringing the cutting edge technology to the masses. Other World Computing just announced a new piece of hardware that takes advantage of Thunderbolt 5’s speed boost, offering external SSD performance that approaches built-in storage speeds.

CarPlay has just expanded to one of the fastest-growing EVs on the market, arriving this week through a free over-the-air update.

A newly unsealed opinion shows why Apple had little patience for Fintiv’s long-running claims in Texas. As it turns out, after seven years of litigation, Fintiv still could not point to any evidence that Apple Pay or Apple Wallet ever used the kind of “widget” described in its patent. That finding explains the company’s abrupt retreat in Texas and bodes poorly for its latest attempt to profit off Apple Pay in Georgia.

Apple has released a new round of beta firmware for AirPods testers, AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4 are both receiving build 8A5343a, an update from the 8A5324b version that rolled out in July.

Apple Watch users can mark their calendars for the next activity challenge. The 2025 National Parks Challenge is set for this Sunday, August 24.

Apple Watch users in the United States are finally seeing Blood Oxygen readings return after nearly a year-long absence. Apple was forced to disable the feature on new Apple Watch hardware sold in the US following a patent dispute with medical technology company Masimo.

The fix, released across this week and last, is a practical solution that works well, especially in helping Apple Watch remain competitive with the health and fitness focused Whoop product.

It’s been a while since Apple dropped leather and replaced it with FineWoven — only to mostly drop FineWoven over customer feedback. Now leaker Majin Bu says Apple has yet another leather alternative ready to go for the iPhone 17 case lineup.

Following iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 beta 7 earlier today, Apple has released the fourth iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 public betas.

iOS 26 beta 7 is out now for iPhones on the developer beta release cycle. Below we’re collecting all of the iOS 26 beta 7 changes compared to the previous version.

Apple has released the seventh developer beta version of iOS 26. We expect the redesigned version of the iPhone software to officially launch in about one month.

Back in April, Notion launched its AI-centric email client on the Mac. Four months later, Notion Mail has arrived on iOS.

August 18 update: 921 backers have pledged over $190,000 to Avelo Running! The campaign ends in just four days on Friday at noon ET in case any readers wanted to back the project and hit the ground running as early as possible.

Avelo Running is a fitness-focused startup that recently came out of stealth to unveil their first product. What the company is building has the potential to be the perfect running companion for Apple Watch. Any runner with a smartphone can benefit, though, without bringing a phone or watch along for the run.

Disclaimer: Beats Pill speakers should not be consumed. Don’t tell that to this creature, though. Remember the Beats Pill Dude? He’s returning, at least in spirit, as a limited edition drop in select markets, starting with England next week.

Apple has designed all sorts of Apple Watch faces in the 10+ years since the product launched. Still, there’s one face that Apple should build and release as soon as possible, please.

iPhone 17 is just a few weeks away, and there’s more evidence that Apple is planning a new feature for its MagSafe cases.

Majin Bu shared a video on social media of someone handling what he calls a “Liquid Silicone” case on an iPhone 17 dummy unit.

When Apple announces the iPhone 17 event next week, it will have a new place to spread the message.

Who is the next senior level executive planning to leave Apple? Mark Gurman dropped a clue in his Power On newsletter this week.

Responding to a question about Apple’s current succession plan, especially after Jeff Williams’ upcoming retirement, Gurman says there is pretty explicit talk within the company about more senior level departures coming.

Earlier this week, it was reported that the next-gen Apple Vision Pro will come with the upcoming M5 chip and not the current M4. Not so fast, however, says the source of the M4-powered Apple Vision Pro.

With the release of watchOS 11.6.1 and companion iOS 18.6.1, Apple managed to restore blood oxygen readings for U.S. owners of Apple Watch Series 9, Series 10, and Ultra 2.

The method is slightly less convenient, as it shifts processing data and displaying results to the iPhone, but it restores a capability that had been entirely removed since late 2023. The timing works in Apple’s favor.
