Apple TV+ has some beloved comedies among its best series, and a new show coming in early 2025 looks set to join them. It’s called The Studio, and Apple just dropped the first trailer.

A Steve Jobs quote once inspired a years-long fascination with the idea of Apple building a TV set. The product never came to fruition, but the dream lives on, stoked by a new Mark Gurman rumor that Apple is now ‘evaluating’ making a TV. Here are five reasons I think Apple absolutely should make its own TV.

It was back in September when Meta first revealed an early prototype of its Orion AR glasses, and while they are a long way from becoming an actual product you can buy, the company does believe it can achieve this.

Indeed, Meta’s wearables chief thinks that Orion can in time become the AirPods of augmented reality devices …

One of the biggest problems with social media is that our feeds are full of things the algorithms think we want to see, rather than what we actually want to see.

If your Instagram recommendations seem increasingly removed from your interests, Meta is now offering you the chance to start again from scratch …

Apple has put together no fewer than nine different Top 10 lists, revealing the most popular podcasts of 2024.

The lists kick off with the top shows of the year, but go on to list the most popular in a number of different categories, from new shows to those with the highest subscriber counts …

The latest iPhone 17 Air report suggests that the expected ultra-slim model could be as thin as 6mm, which would make it the slimmest iPhone ever made.

While that would be a challenging metric to hit, and we’ll believe it when there’s supporting evidence, we do seem to have growing clarity on the market Apple is targeting with the device …

Apple has responded to an iPhone 16 ban in Indonesia by offering a ten-fold boost to its manufacturing investments in the country.

The Indonesian government responded aggressively when Cupertino company fell a little way short of its promised spend in the country, and Apple seems extremely keen to resolve the matter …

All iPhone 16 models feature a USB-C connector, replacing the old Apple Lightning connector. Via this USB-C port, you can connect to a vast number of accessories and peripherals. iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max support faster USB-3 speeds over the USB-C port, enabling up to 10 Gbps data transfer speeds.

USB-C makes it easy to connect displays, external storage, cameras, and charge using the same cable as all your other devices. Here’s what you can do with your new iPhone and its shiny new port …

It’s a little-known fact that before emails reach your inbox, they pass through a buffer designed to scan and block malicious content. However, over time, email providers—especially Gmail—have shifted their focus to just adding “warning labels” to those with suspicious links or attachments. This approach, best described as “beating around the bush” hasn’t reduced threats much at all. Shockingly, 91% of all cyberattacks still originate from emails. So, what gives?

Apple recently launched new MacBook Pro, iMac and Mac mini with the M4 chip, which brings a lot of performance improvements – especially when it comes to AI tasks. However, users are facing issues when trying to run virtual machines with some older versions of macOS on the new machines.

A recent report by 404 Media revealed that law enforcement agents have been concerned about iPhones automatically rebooting themselves, which makes it very difficult to hack these devices. Security researcher Jiska Classen later discovered that this behavior is caused by a new feature called “Inactivity Reboot,” which has now been reverse-engineered by Classen.

Apple analyst Jeff Pu is out with a new investor note this week with more details on what to expect from next year’s iPhone 17 lineup.

There’s also an interest twist on what to expect from the so-called iPhone 17 Air’s design…

Apple is rolling out the latest developer betas for visionOS 2.2 and tvOS 18.2. Beta 3 arrives not long after last week’s beta 2 releases, and brings the latest refinements to these upcoming software updates.

Update 11/18/24: Apple has now released the public beta for tvOS 18.2 too, just hours after the developer beta debuted. visionOS does not offer a public beta.

Apple’s first M4 Macs are finally here: the MacBook Pro, iMac, and Mac mini. And before long, the M4 is set to upgrade the full lineup of Mac products. From the MacBook Air to the Mac Pro and Mac Studio, here’s when to expect the next M4 Macs to release.

The iPhone 16’s Camera Control feature arrived to mixed reviews, including from me. But iOS 18.2 upgrades the feature in several key ways, making it what it was always meant to be.

Today, Kwikset has announced the release of Halo Select, a new smart door lock designed with built-in Wi-Fi and Matter (and therefore includes HomeKit) support. This lock allows for easy smart home integration without needing a hub or getting locked in. You can control the lock via the Kwikset app, enabling remote access, locking/unlocking, and granting entry to guests through unique codes or in-app, with real-time notifications to track activity. You can also control it once you integrate it with your smart home platform.

Apple has started notifying users running older software about a very compelling reason to update. iCloud backups will soon stop working—and even be deleted—on devices running iOS 8 and prior.

The perfect charging setup is a powerful and space-saving solution. The Baseus Nomos 8-in-1 Magnetic Charging Station aims to meet that demand with wired and wireless charging capabilities. With support for Qi2-certified 15W wireless charging and a 67W PD USB-C port, this slim, foldable station is a convenient and efficient way to power up everything from a MacBook Air to an iPhone 15. I recently tested this charging station to see if it lives up to its promise of flexibility and high performance.

Back at WWDC 2024 in June, Apple teased new screensavers for Apple TV with tvOS 18, including screensavers based on popular Apple TV+ movies and shows. Now Apple is finally rolling out one of these screensavers with the latest beta of tvOS 18.2, starting with Snoopy.

Apple Intelligence is made possible by Apple’s silicon efforts as a whole, as a new interview reveals. And apparently, those efforts took a big shift all the way back in 2017 in preparation for AI.

Updated November 18, 2024 with the latest pricing and deals.

Following the introduction of MagSafe charging on the iPhone 12, Apple unveiled a MagSafe Battery Pack accessory. With deep iOS integration and unique reverse wireless charging support, it was a compelling accessory for iPhone users and earned a spot in my everyday carry.

Unfortunately, it went on to be yet another one-and-done Apple accessory that was discontinued with the iPhone 15.
