The new Apple Watch is the thinnest and lightest version of the wearable to date. But how much thinner is Series 10 compared to Series 9 and earlier? And will you notice a difference? Read on for all the details.

Recent rumors have strongly suggested that Apple is working on an ultra-slim version of the iPhone for next year that could be called the “iPhone 17 Slim” or even the “iPhone 17 Air”. While we are almost a year away from this product, it seems that Samsung is pushing ahead with its plans to launch a Galaxy S25 “Slim.”

iOS 18.2 is launching next month, and with it a new wave of Apple Intelligence features. One of the most powerful additions: ChatGPT is getting baked into Siri and the new system writing tools on AI-compatible devices. Here’s how that works, and the key details you’ll want to know.

Vimeo recently launched its visionOS app that Apple announced during WWDC 2024. As part of bringing Vimeo to the Apple Vision Pro, filmmaker Jake Oleson has published a short film dubbed ‘currents’. If you can get your hands on an Apple Vision Pro, give the spatial short film a watch.

My favorite part? The cinematography style that resembles photographs coming to life to me. ‘currents’ is also an easy viewing with wonderful music and a thoughtful story. Do give it a watch on Vision Pro if you can.

One of the Messages app’s most-used features, Tapbacks, got a big upgrade in iOS 18. The standard tapbacks were redesigned, and you can now use any emoji as a tapback. But there’s one tapback fix that’s become more needed than ever, and I hope Apple addresses it soon.

Apple Pay is celebrating 10 years since launching, and a new video ad highlights something about Apple Pay that has been true since day one. Apple Pay makes it really easy to spend money on the internet.

Apple provides the App Store in every market possible, providing access to as much software as possible. However, part of that responsibility is abiding by local government rules. This means Apple regularly has to choose between delisting certain apps to avoid being forced to close the entire App Store in those markets.

Here’s a straightforward list, in no certain order, of Mac apps that I’m currently using.

tvOS might be one of the hardest platforms for Apple to iterate upon. There’s only so much you can do to improve the TV experience, right? But tvOS 18 has proven that adage wrong by offering several great new features—including a key Enhance Dialogue setting that’s been a no-brainer upgrade for me.

iOS 18.2 is currently in beta testing with the next round of Apple Intelligence features, such as Image Playground, ChatGPT integration, and Genmoji.

While those Apple Intelligence features are garnering most of the attention, there are other notable features coming to the iPhone next month. Head below for a roundup of all the non-AI features coming to your iPhone as part of iOS 18.2.

Every great holiday gift guide deserves a punchy theme that captures your attention and inspires your gift giving season. My theme this year? Stuff I received to review but haven’t yet, and stuff I honestly use daily. What… the smart home gift guide idea was already taken. Seriously, though, I think this is my favorite list yet.

I recently shared a post talking all about how you can use your iPad as a portable display for your Mac mini. Surprisingly the number one question i got was “can you use an old iMac or Macbook to do the same thing?” Amazingly, the answer is absolutely yes! So in this post I am going to show you how to easily get this done!

I know, it’s just a developer beta, and if anyone from Apple asks then my Visual Intelligence first impressions are purely offered in the context of its future potential. But I have to say that trying it leaves me excited for that future.

The actual Apple Intelligence part is currently relatively limited. In most cases, you get a choice between asking ChatGPT to describe to you what you are seeing and a Google search …

Apple is about to get serious about smart home products, with this spring’s ‘HomePad’ being the first part of a major strategic push. But what does this new device mean for the future of the HomePod? Will it make it obsolete? Maybe, but it also might just save it.

I’m fairly firmly convinced that people who don’t keep their iPhone in a case are from an entirely different species to me. While I don’t make a habit of dropping mine, I don’t think there has been a year in which I haven’t dropped or knocked it against something at least once.

For me, then, an iPhone case falls into the category of a necessity rather than a luxury – but that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate a luxurious look and feel …

M4 MacBook Pro reviews mostly endorsed my own view that, while the machine would make a great purchase for Intel MBP owners, there isn’t a compelling reason for any M-series user to upgrade.

However, it turns out that Apple quietly gave the latest MacBook Pro a new display tech, offering two benefits …

Have an Apple TV+ subscription and wondering what to watch next? Apple’s streaming service is home to a host of original programming, but unlike bigger streamers (e.g., Netflix), its shows don’t always get much buzz—even the really great ones. But there’s a lot of content worth your time.

Here are the best reviewed shows available on Apple TV+, sorted by Rotten Tomatoes scores.

The new M4 Mac mini features an incredibly impressive design that shows the prowess of Apple Silicon. But what if you took that Mac mini and converted it into another one of Apple’s most iconic Mac designs: the iMac G4?

That’s exactly what Action Retro on YouTube has done…

Apple on Thursday released a major update to Final Cut Pro that introduced multiple new features, including the ability to generate captions using AI. However, not everyone will benefit from this new feature at launch, as it is limited to a single language for now.
