Apple has officially unveiled Apple Vision Pro, it’s new augmented reality platform in the form of a mixed reality headset.

Apple has announced watchOS, the next major update to Apple Watch software. It includes comprehensive app redesigns and a new way to view information across different watch faces. Here’s what’s new.

Apple has officially announced iOS 17. Here’s what’s in store for the next major iPhone software update. The update has four focuses: communication, sharing, intelligent input, and new experiences.

Alongside the 15-inch MacBook, Apple has announced a price drop for the 13-inch M2 MacBook Air.

iOS 17 will reportedly include an update to the Wallet app on iPhone. Now there’s public evidence that the change is indeed coming in a couple hours.

Apple is poised to unveil an all-new product category with its mixed reality headset in just a few short hours. Supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has shared a last minute forecast update on what to expect for shipments this year.

WWDC 2023 is so close, I can see it from my house. What better way to kill time than think about last-minute feature requests for iOS 17 and macOS 14? You can also read about the features I thought Apple Watch would have before watchOS 10 – custom tones, anyone?

watchOS 10 is just a few days away, and the update sounds like a big deal for big Apple Watch screens. A new widget overlay and apps optimized for Apple Watch Ultra? Let’s go!

Not much else has been rumored for watchOS 10, however, and that’s probably because the Apple Watch software is fairly mature now. Turns out you can knock out a lot of great features in nine years. That’s had me thinking about some rather old feature requests that have never materialized – features I really thought we’d have by now.

Originally published on June 1, this story has since been updated with a statement from a Goldman Sachs representative.

Apple’s new high-yield savings account service recently launched with a positive reception, especially over how easy it is to set up. A new report from the Wall Street Journal, however, says some customers claim getting money is out a different story.

I used to write a lot about run tracking with the Apple Watch and how it performed during races. It’s been a while, though, because, well, I haven’t run much since the pandemic. I should probably change that.

Anyway, I found myself nodding my head in total agreement this week while reading Victoria Song’s piece on The Verge about training with the Apple Watch Ultra. In the article, Victoria investigates why running distance tracked by the Apple Watch can greatly vary from the distance of a set race course.

It also includes some really good stuff from folks who work on the watch at Apple.

Apple’s Reality Pro headset is almost upon us, and Mark Gurman at Bloomberg has shared an interesting new tidbit. According to Gurman, Apple will provide warnings about using the mixed reality headset for a number of medical conditions. To better understand the topic, we’ve compared what’s been reported to Meta’s health and safety warnings for Quest headsets.

When Apple unveils its mixed reality headset on Monday, there’s one use case that Mac users will especially find interesting. If they pull it off, I think Reality Pro may be poised to become the ultimate Mac display that Apple would never make.

You may have heard by now that Apple is working on a mixed reality headset. Anyone who hasn’t yet will catch up on Monday. In the meantime, we’ve got three days to ponder how this thing will go down before it’s the new reality.

Benjamin and Chance give their final takes on what they expect from WWDC next week, including the latest rumors around new Mac hardware and the much anticipated Apple headset, as well as predictions for iOS 17 and the rest of Apple’s operating systems.

Alright, Apple. Pack it up, show’s over. Mark Zuckerberg just dropped a surprise announcement, unveiling the Meta Quest 3 virtual reality headset. The reveal comes just *checks calendar* four days before Apple is set to officially announce its high-end mixed reality headset. So much for Apple’s headset hype, I guess.

Apple recently launched a special Apple Card promo that encourages cardholders to use the Apple Card Family feature for multiple cardholders. Now the company is offering up a more traditional promotion for the month of June.
