Believe it or not, the M4 Mac mini was released just over a year ago. Apple changed the footprint, design, and form factor to create a compact 5in x 5in x 2in aluminum box with a fan at the bottom. It was a nice upgrade from its predecessor. But, in all honesty, I was not expecting much. I figured it would be a fine computer, especially because Apple debuted it at a $599 price point ($499 now on Amazon). So I thought to myself, there has to be some limitation that everyday users would notice, right? But after using this for an entire year as my main desktop, it has completely distorted how I think about computers and what real value in tech should look like.

Apple Vision Pro continues to be the best ticket to viewing incredible immersive video experiences. Coinciding with Veterans Day, Apple has released its latest Apple Immersive video format piece, a 14-minute documentary about F-18 fighter pilots.

In the ever-growing space of AI, Apple’s struggles have been well documented. But based on two recent reports, the company is starting to look more like an AI winner thanks to one advantage.

After a long stretch of the iPhone lineup looking very similar from year to year, Apple shook things up this fall by replacing its Plus model with the iPhone Air. But it sounds like next year’s iPhone 18 lineup could be far more of a departure for the company.

While Apple’s decision to include a bold orange colour in the iPhone 17 Pro lineup seems to have proven surprisingly popular, there was one design element that attracted more criticism: the two-tone look of the back casing.

A leaker with a decent track record suggests that the company is going to fix that problem in next year’s lineup …

You wouldn’t imagine that buying an iPod could remain a memorable part of a trip in which I fulfilled a childhood dream, and yet that is the case.

November 2001 saw me fly from London to New York on Concorde, and it was during my five-day stay that the original iPod first went on sale …

Some owners of first-generation AirPods Max headphones have reported experiencing “the three amber lights of death.” This is when the headphones fail to connect and a standard reset doesn’t resolve the problem.

While the headphones might appear to be bricked, as this indicates a hardware failure, there are a couple of potential solutions which may at least keep them going for a while …

Last night, The Information reported that Apple had delayed the iPhone Air 2 launch, from its original schedule of fall 2026. In a follow-up post, The Information reports the second-generation model is now aiming for a spring 2027 release, which would be alongside updates to the base model iPhone 18 (as Apple is shifting the release of that model to the spring going forward).

The reason for the delay is apparently Apple is redesigning the product to address customer complaints, most notably by adding a second camera lens to the back. However, it’s currently unclear if spring 2027 is an achievable deadline.

Apple has launched a limited edition accessory for the iPhone, called the iPhone Pocket. It evokes a modern day iPod sock, using a single 3D-knitted cloth to create a wearable pocket. The accessory was designed in collaboration with renowned designer Issey Miyake. The Pocket is kind of like a high-end version of the iPhone Crossbody Strap.

Unlike the 2004-era iPod Socks, the iPhone Pocket is not cheap. Available this Friday, the short strap Pocket will cost $149.95, and the long strap design will cost $229.95.
