For the longest time, I had believed that purchasing a new iPad at full price never made any sort of sense. Ultimately, you’re paying more than an equivalently spec’d MacBook, for less capability. It always felt like iPadOS was the key limiting factor for the iPad, not the hardware.

However, I’ve now owned an M4 iPad Pro for nearly 9 months, and I can confidently say it’s changed how I feel towards iPads.

Apple’s new M4 MacBook Air is currently down to just $849, and I’ve made no secret of the fact that I’m a big fan of the device. If you’ve recently purchased an M4 Air, here are my recommendations for the best accessories to accompany your new laptop—and most won’t break the bank.

The hits keep coming for Apple and its App Store policies. A new class-action lawsuit filed today alleges that Apple “penalized developers who sought to use linked payments with fees that rendered it economically non-viable.

The lawsuit follows an injunction handed down last week, in which Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers barred Apple from charging commission or otherwise interfering with developers’ ability to direct customers to payment methods outside of the App Store.

Apple’s big iOS 19 unveiling is almost here. Next month, the company will introduce a major new iPhone version packed with a variety of upgrades. Here are three new iOS 19 features rumored to be announced.

As your resident iPad advocate, I will continue to say that the iPad is the most versatile computer on the market. It can be a laptop, tablet, e-book, a notetaking machine, or even a portable display. In this post, we will be focusing on that final piece. iPads have always had fantastic displays for all things media consumption, especially now with the M4 iPad Pro. But what if I told you that you could use that same iPad as a dummy display to play your Xbox, PlayStation, or even your Mac mini? Here is how you do it.

Last week after a judge ordered Apple to allow apps third-party payment links at zero commission, Epic Games announced Fortnite would relaunch on the iPhone in the US. There was one potential problem though, and now that’s seemingly been resolved.

As I was setting up and charging ESR’s Geo Wallet Boost, I had a thought: I am either living in the future or an absolute moron. I was charging my wallet. Obviously, no one wants to charge a wallet, but the functionality you get will decide if you want to go through that hassle. I’ve been using it for the last month, so here are my thoughts on it

Before Apple TV+ launched, rumors indicated Apple execs would be heavily involved in the creative process. Through restrictions and micromanaging, top leaders were expected to stifle creators’ freedom. Over five years in, based on new comments from creatives, it seems the opposite might actually be more the norm.

Boost Mobile is now competing more directly with AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile by expanding its Apple device support. Apple has promoted Boost Mobile as its fourth U.S. carrier partner on its website and in retail stores since Sprint rolled into T-Mobile.

Apple TV+ has shared the teaser trailer and release date for a big new film starring Denzel Washington: Highest 2 Lowest. Here are the details.

Last week, Apple was handed a court decision in its Epic Games case that forced a major App Store rule change, and now the company has filed its notice of appeal.

Apple’s biggest software announcements of the year are coming next month. WWDC kicks off June 9, and per a new report, there are three major themes for Apple’s announcements this year.

Apple has revealed the 2025 Pride Edition Sport Band, watch face, and iPhone and iPad wallpaper. The new band is available to order today. The watch face and wallpapers are coming in watchOS 11.5 and iOS 18.5.

Apple’s flashiest new iPhone launch this year will be the iPhone 17 Air / iPhone 17 Slim, a new entrant in the lineup featuring a striking 5.5mm thin chassis.

The Air is expected to replace the current Plus SKU, with a price point in the range of $900-$1000. Based on numerous leaked schematics, the iPhone 17 Air will sport a 6.6-inch display, nestling between the Pro and the Max in terms of size. But Ming-Chi Kuo says Apple is already working on a future generation Air with a bigger screen.

Corroborating The Information reporting from over the weekend, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has laid out his predictions for the next few years of iPhone launches in a post on Craft today. Most notably, Apple will move away from releasing all of its flagship phones at the same time in the fall, a rigid calendar that has been in place since the iPhone 4s in 2011.

Going forward, Apple is moving to launching its cheaper budget iPhones in the first half of the year, and Pro models in the fall. This means you will see versions of the iPhone 18 and iPhone 19 arrive in the first and latter half of the same year, across 2027, respectively.

In the Apple Silicon era, MacBooks have become more affordable than ever – with brand new models starting as low as $649. With looming tariffs on China, these great deals could potentially be coming to an end very soon – so if you’re in the market for a new MacBook for any reason, now may be one of the best ever times to purchase.

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 there may be a new opportunity to bring it back.

In 2020, Apple announced the Mac transition to Apple Silicon. Replacing Intel was a large undertaking, but it proved successful. Apple was able to develop chips that were both faster and more efficient than the Intel processors they replaced, all in an under 3 year transition.

Now, Apple is trying to replace Qualcomm, starting off with the new C1 modem in the brand new iPhone 16e, it’s the first step in a much larger journey. In the end, Apple wants all networking to be handled in-house.

Lewis Hamilton may have been hanging around Apple Park recently, but both Hamilton and the Formula 1 action are in Miami today. The 2025 Formula 1 season roars into the U.S. this weekend with the highly anticipated Miami Grand Prix at the Miami International Autodrome. Whether you’re an avid F1 enthusiast or just looking to catch some thrilling racing action, here’s how you can tune in and follow along on your Apple devices.

Apple has definitely built up quite a compelling ecosystem around the Apple Watch. Between all of its fitness challenges, activity rings, and competitions – Apple has certainly found a way to make exercise fun for a lot of people. The problem? Some people simply don’t like the form factor of a smartwatch.

Apple is reportedly working on a new MacBook Pro refresh, which is set to debut ‘later this year.’ Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman describes this refresh as “a lock”, reaffirming that Apple will follow its tradition of annual MacBook Pro refreshes.
