Rivian’s CEO RJ Scaringe was the latest guest on the Decoder podcast, and during the interview he vehemently defended the company’s decision to not support Apple CarPlay. Here’s what he said.

Apple is expected to either host an October event later this month, or unveil new products in multi-day consecutive launches. And now, a new report mentions two specific products as “imminent”—the M5 iPad Pro and Vision Pro 2—and highlights which features to expect.

Apple is facing a cybercrime investigation in France over its capture and review of voice recordings to improve the quality of Siri responses.

The probe faces complaints by a human rights organization over a 2019 revelation that Apple was using contractors to listen to voice recordings of Siri interactions by its customers despite its privacy promises …

Apple has gradually ramped up the capabilities of its iPhone satellite communications services, but a new report suggests that the company may need to switch supplier in order to boost capacity.

The company currently partners with Globalstar for all of its satellite comms services, but two SpaceX developments mean that Apple might switch to Starlink for future services …

While OpenAI describes its latest iPhone app Sora as a video generation tool, it might be more accurately described as a way for anyone to easily create deepfakes.

You did get to choose whether or not people can use your cameo, aka your likeness, but you initially had almost no control over what they could do with it. Predictably, this did not go well, and the company has now introduced a new safety tool …

At WWDC earlier this year, Apple unveiled three key upgrades for flight boarding passes in Apple Wallet. Now, shortly after the public launch of iOS 26, United Airlines has added support for the new set of features.

Apple Intelligence has been largely underwhelming to most people thus far. That said, I believe that a killer use case has arrived, and we’re vastly underestimating its long-term impact. That feature is Live Translation. It is easy to dismiss it as a travel gimmick, but I think it could become one of the most important business tools Apple has ever shipped. When AirPods can handle real-time translation with nothing more than an iPhone in your pocket, the way global teams collaborate starts to look very different.

Earlier this year, Bloomberg reported that Apple was working on a redesigned Apple Vision Pro strap as part of a wider set of upgrades to the first-generation headset. Now, a few extra details about the revamped strap appear to have leaked.

When iPhone buyers choose the Pro Max model, it’s often for one reason above all others: screen size. But this year’s iPhone 17 Pro Max might be the last ‘Max’ model to truly offer the biggest iPhone screen. Here’s why.

Around my city, Halloween almost brings out as many “all in” people as Christmas when it comes to decorations. In fact, one house near me starts setting up in August and then keeps it going through Christmas, just dressing the Halloween-themed skeletons in Santa hats to carry them into the next holiday. If you’re still turning on all of your Halloween decorations manually, it’s time to automate that using HomeKit.

With Apple’s iPhone 17 and iPhone Air line this year, the company launched more new accessories than usual, including a brand new Crossbody Strap. Based on ongoing availability delays, it sure seems like the Crossbody Strap is an early hit.

When it comes to favorite technology, Apple gets a double win from me. My MacBook Pro is my single most important piece of tech, and the Apple ecosystem is absolutely core to my approach to a whole range of things, across both work and leisure.

But I also have a number of non-Apple devices that either serve as important accessories or standalone devices in their own right …
