iOS 18.4 is now available in beta, and one of its main additions came as a total surprise: a new Food hub and cooking experience for Apple News. However, there’s a new Home product launching soon—I call it ‘HomePad’—that the cooking feature seems perfectly built for.

President Trump has calmly suggested that Apple should consider reevaluating its policies around diversity, equity, and inclusion, while making the case that meritocracy could yield better results and reduce workplace division. Wait, scratch that, President Trump has blasted Apple on social media in an all-caps message, demanding that “APPLE SHOULD GET RID OF DEI RULES, NOT JUST MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO THEM.”

Apple TV+ today announced a new documentary film called Bono: Stories of Surrender, which streams worldwide on May 30, and will also be available in an immersive 3D format viewable in the Apple Vision Pro headset.

In fact, this will be the first feature-length Apple Immersive film; all previous made-for-Vision-Pro content has been short-form fare. Apple and U2 have always had a close relationship, and this project is the latest example of that.

In a world in which privacy is a hot-button issue, we might have expected Brits to be outraged that their government was responsible for Apple withdrawing Advanced Data Protection from the UK. In reality, it’s gone largely unremarked.

A new Bloomberg piece suggests that’s because people care far less about privacy than they claim. While I do think there’s some truth to that, it’s not the primary reason …

A new market intelligence report indicates that Mac market share grew at a faster rate that the top three PC brands during the final quarter of last year.

Apple also dominates the AI-capable computer market, with a 45% share against 15% for the nearest Windows PC competitor …

One of the longest standing feature requests for Apple Mail on iPhone is for the app to change how it behaves when a user moves a message to a different folder, or sends it to the trash.

Until iOS 18.4, the Mail app would always automatically move on to the next message in the inbox, which would annoyingly cause that unrelated message to be marked as read in the process. What many users have asked for, is for the app to simply return to the inbox list instead. iOS 18.4 finally makes that possible.

There’s a robust ecosystem of Find My accessories on the market nowadays. All of these accessories would make great additions to your life. After all, what’s a better investment than a way to keep track of their most important possessions?

Ubiquiti continues to be a leader in the enterprise networking industry with three new 10-gigabit UniFi Cloud Gateways designed to future-proof networks. In the last five years, the company has been on a roll with new products and services; these new gateways are a prime example. I’ve had great experience over the years with Apple fleets and UniFi networking, so let’s take a look at each of them.

Apple says that “phonetic overlap” is to blame for a peculiar glitch in the iPhone’s dictation feature.

Over the last several days, the “bug” has gained traction on various social networks including TiKTok. In one video on TikTok, you can see an iPhone user using the built-in dictation feature to clearly say the word “racist,” only for the iPhone to moementarily transcribe it as “Trump.” The transcription quickly corrects itself before being finalized.

Apple just shipped a firmware update for AirPods Max users who have the original Lightning model, the first such update since all the way back in October. Here’s what you should know.

Dark Noise developer Charlie Chapman is out with a new Mac utility called “Framous.” The app aims to be the best way to add device frames to screenshots.

Apple’s new iPhone 16e isn’t quite as budget-friendly as the iPhone SE it replaced, but it’s still a fantastic option for users looking to upgrade without breaking the bank. For iPhone 15 owners specifically, there are five big upgrades that come with the iPhone 16e vs. your current 15.

Apple is holding its annual shareholder meeting today as investors vote on several proposals and hear updates from CEO Tim Cook.

Most notably, Apple shareholders rejected an outside proposal calling for the company to end its DEI initiatives.

Apple’s newest iPhone comes with a key component many years in the making: the C1 modem. The idea of a new modem may not sound very exciting on the surface, but already with this first version it’s become clear why Apple spent so long developing it. There are cost benefits to ditching Qualcomm, but also user-facing improvements. Here are two killer features Apple’s new C1 enables.

At this point, I have personally used Lumafusion for almost seven years and have created well over 1,000 videos on various iPads. As an iPad Pro first user, I loved the desktop-level experience that Lumafusion brings to the iPad. It has everything most editors would need. Lumafusion has continued to evolve over time, adding features like Multicam editing, external SSD support, speed ramping, keyframing, and so much more. But with Lumafusion’s new v5.2 update, they are bringing one feature I have really wanted!
