If Apple's going to make a barely blue product, it should be an Apple Watch | A watch face whose blue color is constantly changing

I know, I’m writing about the Apple Watch and a subtle shade of blue while illustrating the piece with a dumb watch with very unsubtle blue face, but bear with me here.

1Password

1Password is an app I’ve been using since 2008, but it’s not longer just an app. It is building a platform for how work actually happens today. That includes personal devices, AI agents, and apps that never went through the IT team. With new updates to its Extended Access Management platform and a partnership with Drata, 1Password is moving beyond vaults to help companies stay secure without slowing anyone down.

Beyond Cupertino: Uber’s 32-step cancellation process, Bluesky blue checks, and more

3D Uber icon with clock and iPhone

Tech companies have often been accused of making it hard to cancel subscriptions, but Uber appears to have taken things to a whole new level! It’s being sued by the FTC for forcing Uber One subscribers to take as many as 32 separate actions when they want to cancel.

The Federal Trade Commission also says that Uber illegally started charging subscribers before the end of their free trial period, and lied about the cost savings …

iPhone 17e already well advanced, says leaker with the right credentials

iPhone 17e already well advanced, says leaker with the right credentials | Existing model shown

Apple’s replacement of the iPhone SE with the iPhone 16e raised an obvious question: Would the ad-hoc update schedule for the SE series also be replaced with an annual refresh, kicking off with an iPhone 17e?

A leaker with the right credentials to answer this question said back in February they believed the answer to be yes, and the same source says there is now solid evidence for this …

iPhone 17 Air

Later this year, Apple is going to debut its thinnest iPhone to date. At just 5.5mm thin, iPhone 17 Air will be record-setting.

After all, iPhone battery life improved drastically over the past few years, as Apple has made increasingly thicker iPhones.

MagSafe Monday: Lamicall’s 3-in-1 charger is built for travel and priced right

Lamicall’s 3-in-1 MagSafe charger

After a run to the Apple Store, I had one, but it was still super frustrating. I need to build a permanent travel kit for cables. Between cables, chargers, and adapters, things get messy fast. A 3-in-1 charger helps cut down on clutter, but most of them are bulky. Some look great beside your bed but are a hassle to travel with. Lamicall’s 3 in 1 MagSafe charger is different. It folds down small. It travels well, and it does the job.
