In 2020, Apple surprised a lot of people by re-entering a neglected segment of the smartphone market: small phones. With iPhone 12 mini, Apple did something fairly special, by squeezing all of the same technologies of the iPhone 12 into a 5.4-inch form factor. Unfortunately, it didn’t live for too long, but thanks to a recent lineup change, a new window might’ve opened for its resurgence.

September has officially arrived, and with the new month comes the end of summer and the beginning of a busy fall for Apple. In the weeks ahead, there are several key dates to anticipate for Apple fans, even beyond the major iPhone 17 event set for September 9.

Apple IT teams have long struggled with the balance between local admins accounts on macOS and static or shared passwords across multiple devices. On one hand, these accounts are generally needed for updates, troubleshooting, and device recovery, but on the other, a static or shared password across multiple devices is a security problem waiting to happen. If someone leaves, you really should update them, but I suspect this often doesn’t happen. EasyLAPS aims to solve that problem by automatically rotating and securely storing each Mac’s local admin password in your device management system (more on how later). It’s a set-it-and-forget-it approach that removes one of enterprise Mac deployments’ most common weak points.

The stars of Gavin and Stacey, one of the most popular BBC series in the UK, are set to write, produce and act in a new Apple TV+ drama, according to the Daily Mail. James Corden and Ruth Jones have apparently signed a deal with Apple on a new series set to go into production next year.

’Think different’ was an iconic Apple ad campaign, and it might just be the best way to summarize the company’s new Apple TV+ strategy for movies. Here’s why recent debuts like Highest 2 Lowest and F1 reflect a growing trend of Apple making movies that Hollywood won’t.

For the last few months, there’s been no lack of news involving Apple and India, from retail to production and everything in between. Now, according to Bloomberg, Tim Cook’s newest bet is starting to pay off. Here are the details.

Home Key has been one of my favorite HomeKit features since it launched a few years ago. You never have to dig for keys; you can still get in when your phone battery is dead, and in my experience, it works instantly every time. There is no app to launch or waiting for a Bluetooth connection. The new ULTRALOQ Bolt NFC brings all of that convenience to more homes at a very reasonable price point.

The company has made a few nods toward affordability over the years, and we’re expecting the next one to be a new entry-level MacBook. But we’re also moving into an era where three new product launches are going to push the boundaries ever higher …
