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’s Phone app is getting its biggest changes ever this year in iOS 26, with a completely revamped layout, call screening tools, Apple Intelligence features, and more. Here’s everything new that’s coming to your Phone app in iOS 26.

Apple’s full iPhone 17 lineup is being unveiled in mere weeks, with each new model having its own unique selling points. But one model in particular could be set for a tougher sales year than usual: the iPhone 17 Pro.

If you listen to the Severance Podcast with Ben Stiller & Adam Scott, you probably remember the episode where Britt Lower, who plays Helly R., said she recorded her audition tape on her bathroom floor.

Now, The Hollywood Reporter has published the tape, and it is impressive how spot-on she was from the get-go.

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 has typically updated the MacBook Pro on a nearly annual basis, generally around October. This year, though, rumors suggest that Apple will be deviating from that pattern – and it’s increasingly likely that the next MacBook Pro model will launch early next year. That raises the question: should you wait for it?

Support for IDs in Apple Wallet is expanding to another new state today: Montana. If you live in Montana and head to the Wallet app on your iPhone, you’ll now have the option to add your ID for easy mobile access.

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.

Apple TV+ has been having a strong year all around, but especially with comedies and sci-fi series. And the streamer just announced the release date for one of its most high-profile, star-studded comedy’s returns: Palm Royale season 2 is coming soon.

One of my favorite features in iOS 26 is AutoMix for Apple Music, which uses artificial intelligence to create DJ-like transitions between songs.

Ahead of iOS 26 being released to everyone next month, Spotify is looking to steal some of Apple Music’s thunder with its own new spin on creating unique transitions between songs.

AirPods Pro 2 are three years old, but rumors indicate they’re not going anywhere just yet. In fact, in the absence of AirPods Pro 3, leaks indicate Apple could debut another big software upgrade for AirPods Pro 2 at its iPhone 17 event. Here’s what’s coming.

If you prefer to do your own repairs of Apple devices or to use independent shops, then it’s now easier to do so in Canada.

We’re just weeks away from the unveiling of Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Apple Watch Series 11. But leaked Apple code has now revealed a big new feature that could be coming to next year’s Apple Watch lineup: Touch ID support.

The moment Apple announced iPadOS 26 at WWDC, I rushed to install the developer beta on my M4 iPad Pro. And for the first time in years, it felt like Apple was finally putting iPad users first. We got features we’ve been asking for since iPadOS split from iOS: a fresh new look, Mac-like windowing, a smarter Files app, and more.

But what surprised me wasn’t the iPad Pro experience. It was just how many iPads supported all of these features, including the iPad mini. After installing iPadOS 26 on the mini, I was blown away by how well it worked. And that got me thinking: if the iPad mini can handle this, what does that mean for the future of the iPhone?

A random report from an account with zero track-record for anything claims that the iPhone 18 will drop the Camera Control button as too few people are using it.

The claim is entirely meaningless, but I strongly suspect that it’s right in one respect: that hardly anyone is using the feature …

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.

Indie content platform Substack now lets you subscribe to newsletters, podcasts, and video channels via an in-app purchase.

However, while this removes friction from the subscription sign-up process, you definitely shouldn’t use it, for two reasons …

A new report says that Apple will finally hit a long-held goal to reduce its dependence on China with the launch of the iPhone 17.
