Apple’s newest iPhone is also the most affordable iPhone, but whether it’s the best value depends on which features you value. Apple still sells the iPhone 16 alongside the new iPhone 17e. Here’s how the two lowest-priced iPhones compare.

Following last year’s introduction of a ban on social media apps for teenagers, Australia is now tightening age-verification requirements for AI apps. Here are the details.

I miss the iPhone 13 mini. I just prefer smaller iPhones. If you are using an iPhone 17 Pro Max, holding it with one hand for extended periods can get uncomfortable. A lot of people rely on permanent grips, but sticking something directly to the back of your phone ruins the ability to use wireless chargers. The SUPERONE MagSafe phone grip solves this by giving you a secure hold and an impromptu stand that you can easily remove whenever you need to. Read on to learn more.

Apple’s Always On Display has been fairly consistent since it debuted on iPhone 14 Pro. With iOS 26, Apple quietly changed how it works in a way that may not be obvious.

Apple just flipped the script and updated its entry-level iPhone after just one year. Here’s everything that’s new between the just-announced iPhone 17e and last year’s iPhone 16e.

Apple launched a new iPad Air today featuring an M4 chip. It has a lot in common with its predecessor, but some key upgrades too. Here’s everything new with the M4 iPad Air compared to last year’s M3 iPad Air.

Apple has just released a new lineup of beta software, with developer beta 3 arriving for iPadOS 26.4, watchOS 26.4, visionOS 26.4, and more

Apple has released the third iOS 26.4 beta version for iPhone. iOS 26.4 includes a number of exciting new features and changes, including AI-powered Apple Music updates.

Apple announced the iPhone 17e today with a handful of key updates, including increased base storage, the A19 chip, and the C1X modem.

For me, however, one update stands out from the rest: MagSafe.

March will be a big month for Apple TV. Not only will the streamer air ongoing episodes of major series like Monarch and Shrinking, but it also has the kickoff of the Formula 1 season, a highly anticipated new psychological thriller series, the return of its longest-running sci-fi show, and a lot more. Here’s everything new coming to Apple TV in March.

Apple has just launched iPhone 17e, the latest member of the iPhone 17 family. Here’s what’s the same and different between iPhone 17e and iPhone 17.

The M4 iPad Air and new iPhone 17e aren’t the only Apple product announcements happening today. Apple also just refreshed its Apple Watch band and iPhone case lineup with a variety of spring colors.

As expected, Apple has today announced the new iPhone 17e with some worthwhile upgrades over its predecessor.

The new model gets full support for MagSafe wireless charging and storage has been doubled to 256GB for the same price. There is, however, one very surprising thing about the upgrade …

Earlier this year, Bloomberg reported that Apple was looking to host the much-delayed new Siri models on Google servers, rather than Apple’s Private Cloud Compute. The Information is reporting a similar story this morning, saying that Google has been tasked with running Siri servers inside its data centers, while adhering to Apple’s privacy standards.

The Information goes on to detail how Private Cloud Compute is not up to task. As well as being underpowered, it is also reportedly underutilized in its current state, with the company only using about 10% of its capacity on average, leading to some already-manufactured Apple servers to be sitting dormant on warehouse shelves.

Apple has kicked off its big product launch week today, and one of the unveilings is a new iPad Air with M4 chip. Here are the details.

Apple has officially announced the new iPhone 17e. This model includes Apple’s MagSafe wireless charging technology, unlike iPhone 16e which simply featured basic wireless charging without MagSafe accessory support. The new model starts at the same price as its predecessor while offering twice the storage.

Apple also has three color options this time: black, white, and a new soft pink.
