Apple’s Wallet app has a lot of new features coming in iOS 26, including one that’s easy to miss: a toggle that lets you disable an annoying and controversial type of push notifications.

Apple TV+ has a packed lineup of new and returning series this fall, including the Jessica Chastain-starring The Savant. Here’s the new trailer and full details.

Rumors of Apple considering a Perplexity acquisition refuse to cease. Meanwhile, another AI firm continues to be part of the conversation. Both are mentioned in a new report that paints a picture of Eddy Cue as pro-acquisition despite pushback from other Apple executives.

Earlier this week, Bloomberg offered great news for the AirPods Pro 3 launch timing, and now a new rumor indicates Apple has design changes coming that take inspiration from AirPods 4.

Kuxiu continues to make some of the best iPad accessories in the game. They were the first to introduce “wireless” charging for the iPad by implementing the smart connector into their products, like the X33 Pro Max. It was the first magnetic iPad stand that also charged your iPad Pro with those smart connectors. They have doubled down on that and made it ultra compact. Today, they unveiled the M30 Magnetic Smart Connector Charger, and I’m so excited about it. Here is what you should know.

Since Apple introduced home key, it has quickly become one of the most important features for smart locks. Basic HomeKit support just doesn’t cut it anymore. Unlocking your front door with just a tap from an iPhone or Apple Watch feels magical, and once you’ve experienced it, it’s hard to imagine going back to keys or even an app. Level was one of the first companies to embrace home key, and now it’s back with its most advanced product yet: the Level Lock Pro. It’s the smallest smart lock you can buy, it disappears into your door (doesn’t look like a smart lock at all), and it has Matter over Thread built in.

For nearly two decades, Parallels has been one of the go to solutions for running Windows on the Mac, and with version 26 the company is doubling down on both sides of that equation while making it easier to deploy at work. Parallels Desktop 26 arrives with day one support for macOS 26 Tahoe and Windows 11 25H2, along with a strong set of IT focused improvements that make it easier to manage virtual machines at scale.

Apple is no longer allowed to advertise the Apple Watch as carbon neutral, a German court ruled following a protest from environmentalists about Apple’s promoted claims.

The Frankfurt court found the company misled consumers for describing the Apple Watch as a CO2-neutral product. Apple first unveiled its first carbon neutral products starting with the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 in September 2023.

Historical precedent suggests that the latest iOS 26 beta may be the final one, and therefore the version that will be released into the wild next month.

But while the stats may favor this, not everyone is convinced that beta 8 is ready to be unleashed. Given that there’s now very little time left before the iPhone 17 launch, is iOS 26 good enough … ?

Earlier this year, we saw an Apple Music tool intended to make it easier to switch from Spotify, and that tool is now available in more countries, including the US.

But wait! Are you sure you really want to do that when Spotify has just rolled out its very latest feature? Direct messages …

One feature that has been available for a number of years on Android has long been expected to come to iPhone too: reverse wireless charging. A leaker yesterday suggested that it’s coming to the two iPhone 17 Pro models.

If true, this would be good news for three reasons, but there is reason to suggest that may not be possible – due to MagSafe …

Apple TV+ is having a very strong year, and this fall’s lineup will continue that trend. From major returning series like Slow Horses and The Morning Show to compelling new shows like Pluribus, and several high-profile movies, there’s a lot coming. Plus, Apple likely has releases planned it hasn’t yet announced. But as of now, here’s everything new coming to Apple TV+ this fall.

Apple is on the cusp of its major launch season, with new hardware coming in nearly every product category. But rumors indicate there will be one glaring omission from these fall launches: the Mac.

Running the latest iOS 26 developer beta or public beta? You’re probably looking at the version of iOS 26 that will be released in September.

Apple’s big product launch season is almost here, headlined by the iPhone 17 line, Apple Watch Ultra 3, and AirPods Pro 3. There’s a new Apple TV 4K coming too, and I’m planning to upgrade for one rumored feature alone.

If you want a simple car mount that works with MagSafe and doesn’t take over your air vents, your choices are pretty limited. The Statik HyperMount Vacuum Car Mount is a great choice. It sticks to your dash or windshield, holds tight, and doesn’t budge even on bumpy roads and around corners.

watchOS 26 is the next major Apple Watch software update, and today beta 8 was released to developers ahead of the expected public launch next month.

Update 10/26/25: Apple has also released watchOS 26 public beta 5, one day after the equivalent developer release.
