Starting around 2012, I told anyone who would listen that identity was the key problem for IT. I’ve been proven right, and companies have built great solutions in the years since. That does not mean it is a completely solved problem, though. Cisco Duo’s 2025 State of Identity Security report highlights that the risks are growing faster than many IT teams are prepared to handle. AI-driven phishing, identity spoofing, and internal leaks are forcing companies to rethink authentication and access. What was once an afterthought in infrastructure planning now must be treated as a core security function from the beginning, especially for Apple fleets.

Ever since Apple unveiled the iPhone Air, calling it its most durable iPhone ever, it feels like all of the Apple YouTube community has been waiting to see the JerryRigEverything hands-on test.

Sure, enough, he delivered. And the iPhone Air held up to Apple’s claims. Despite using all his force, the iPhone Air would not break from bending; the phone simply flexes under strain and returns to its normal flat shape. But it wasn’t just the bend resistance, the scratch resistance of the front screen also impressed thanks to the new second generation of Apple’s Ceramic Shield cover glass.

Today, Apple rolled out an update to its Final Cut apps, with full support for the new camera features of the iPhone 17, iPhone Air, and iPhone 17 Pro. Here’s what’s new

Let the teardowns begin. Following yesterday’s peek at the iPhone Air MagSafe Battery, the first teardown of the new iPhone 17 Pro is already up, and it reveals some interesting tidbits about its internal architecture. Watch it below.

As it does in most years, Apple is taking a cue from the pre-order week to align its production orders with actual iPhone demand across the lineup. Here are the details.

Apple Wallet, like every other iOS 26 app, has gotten some Liquid Glass UI changes this year. But iOS 26 is also an especially packed update for new features coming to Apple Wallet. Here’s what’s new.

iPhone Air has arrived, and our full, in-depth review is here. But I’ve only had Apple’s ultra-thin model for half a day now, and my first impressions are clear: this feels like the new normal.

I love being able to control my smart home from the Home app, Control Center (my most used right now), or by asking Siri via a HomePod, but sometimes you just can’t beat a physical product for things. For my Matter enabled shades, I use the remote as much as I control them with the Home app. There are moments when pressing a button or turning a dial is easier than pulling out your iPhone. That’s exactly why the SwitchBot Hub 3 is an awesome product, and it’s something I want Apple to copy with the “HomePad”.

Apple is about to kick off what’s arguably its first serious push into smart home products, starting with two launches very soon but ramping up in 2026. And Samsung just provided users another great reason to wait for Apple’s products.

Apple’s last MacBook Pro redesign was in 2021, and rumors indicate the next all-new design is coming in late 2026 with touch support and a whole lot more. Here’s why I’m more excited than ever for Apple’s forthcoming MacBook Pro upgrade.

Apple TV+ has a strong lineup of fall film debuts on the way, but a new report indicates the streamer is about to land one of its biggest movies yet: a new Martin Scorsese film with Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence starring.

Apple’s lineup of new iPhones, Apple Watches, and AirPods is now available around the world. Apple is celebrating the launch by sharing a bunch of images from Apple Stores everywhere on its website.

A few months ago, OpenAI teamed up with Jony Ive to build the next generation of AI-powered hardware, under the brand io.

Now, according to The Information, they are working with the same supply chain partners that Apple relies on for its own products. Here are the details.

It’s iPhone 17 release day, and that means the internet is ready to start the next drama about the redesigned phones. One early concern is about the superficial durability of the iPhone 17 Pro aluminum chassis, especially on the darker color Deep Blue model. If this worries you, it’s a good time to buy a case.

Because anodized aluminum still has the raw silver metal color underneath, any light nicks or scratches are much more visible to the eye, compared to similar wear and tear to the iPhone 16 Pro’s titanium sides or back glass. Bloomberg reported that some buyers were finding visible scuffs and imperfections on the iPhone 17 Pro demo units when they went into Apple retail stores today.

Apple Watch Ultra 3 is here (full review), arriving two years after Ultra 2 first hit the market. But what changes has that two-year gap brought for potential upgraders? Here’s everything new in the Apple Watch Ultra 3 vs. Apple Watch Ultra 2.

tvOS 26 launched earlier this week with a variety of new features for Apple TV 4K users, and one of the highlights for me is a screen saver feature that I’ve always wanted.

If you’re among the thousands planning to trade in a current phone for a new iPhone 17, iPhone Air, or iPhone 17 Pro, remembering to turn off this setting will save you an entire hour at the Apple Store.
