Apple's no stranger to introducing and popularizing new technologies. The original iMac wasn't the first to use USB, but it drove adoption of the standard. Multitouch displays existed before the iPhone, but it was the first real commercial product offering it. Sometimes those technologies take a while to gestate, though. And there may be no better example in recent years than Apple's take on ultra wideband, or UWB. Like those other technologies, ultra wideband isn't new as a concept, but it's so

The iPhone 12 hasnt been on the market very long, and there are already rumblings about the next iPhone. Well compile the most notable reports in this article, but remember to view these with a bit of skepticism. Regardless of how reliable a source is, Apple can always decide to change course for any number of reasons. In this article. were calling the upcomingphone theiPhone 13, though the name has yet to be decided. Minor updates in store Bloombergs Mark Gurman in January reported that theiPho

If recent rumors are any indication, 2021 is going to be a landmark year for the Mac. A few hours ago, we saw reports stating that Apple will ship 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros with MagSafe, Apple silicon with more cores and enhanced GPUs, and a case redesign. Now, another report says that new iMacs and Mac Pros are coming this year, as well. Rumor has it that the iMac will be redesigned to resemble Apples Pro Display XDR. Bloombergs Mark Gurman on Friday reiterates the XDR-like redesign, with 21

Last year, Apple extended free trials of Apple TV+ through February. Now, it looks like the company is going to keep the free ride rolling through the entire first half of 2021. According to 9to5Mac , TV+ free trials will extend until July. If you currently have a free trial set to expire between now and the end of June, it will instead expire on your normal billing date in July. When Apple did the same thing last October , the reason was obvious: the generous one-year trials that came with the

After launching the first M1 MacBook Pro in November, all eyes have turned toward the next releases. According to two reports from the most accurate analysts in the business, they could deliver everything we want. TFT Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reiterates rumors that a new 14-inch MacBook Pro is coming alongside a refreshed 16-inch model, both of which will feature the next generation of Apple silicon featuring more cores and enhanced graphics, according to a similar report from Bloombergs

Apple isnt exactly known for its low prices. The iPhone X was the first handset to cost more than a thousand bucks, the wheels for the Mac Pro cost $699, and just last month it launched a $549 pair of AirPods. Heck, it sells a charger that isnt even very good for $129. But when it comes to its phones, Apple consistently gets it right. Its true that the most expensive iPhone 12 tops out at $1,399, but for the most part, the iPhone 12 is very attainable, even with 5G and OLED displays across the b

Attending a virtual tradeshow is a suboptimal experience, but these new offerings still made an impression.

In my AirPods Max review, I noted that Apples headphones sound and feel great, but are perhaps a little on the heavy side and cost more than theyre worth. I also noted that the so-called Smart Case is neither smart nor a case, and is an absolutely embarrassing piece of junk. Apple should have included a real case with the AirPods Max. In fact, for the price, it should have included a nice premium leather or nylon case. Fortunately, WaterField Designs has just such a case for $99 ($89 for the nyl

The fabled audio company celebrates its 75th anniversary with updates to two classic products.

Its a sad thing that after so many years of offering screen sharing as a native feature in OS X and then macOS, the remote-access service remains unreliable. I have two Macs in my house on the same networkone a laptop, one a desktopand its often the case that the two can see each other and mount each others drives, yet cant initiate screen sharing. With Big Sur, I recently noticed that when I was unable to connect from one machine, the one that wouldnt share stated it was being controlled by my

Just two days after releasing iOS 14.3 with several significant new features like ProRAW photos and Fitness+, Apple started the beta testing process for iOS 14.4. Since this is a full point-release number than a minor one (e.g. iOS 14.3.1), we expect there to be some user-facing changes present. Update 01/13/21: After apparently taking some time off for the holidays, beta releases are back. Beta 2 has been released for developers, and the public beta is expected to follow within a day or so.

Apples big announcement might not have been as exciting as a new iPhone, but its impact could be just as monumental. As part of its previously announced $100 million investment in the Racial Equity and Justice Initiative, Apple on Wednesday unveiled several ways it will be using its sizable investment. First and foremost, Apple will be launching a first-of-its-kind global innovation and learning hub called the Propel Center (pictured above) in partnership with the Southern Company and a range of

In macOS 10.15 Catalina, Apple brought the first part of the existing iOS/iPadOS battery-charging optimization algorithm to Mac laptops with Thunderbolt 3 capability. Instead of always charging your laptop battery to 100 percent and then topping it off whenever its plugged in, the 10.15.5 update of Catalina added a Battery Health Management checkbox in the Energy Saver preference pane that throttles charging as a batterys capacity reduces over time. (Many Mac models without Thunderbolt 3 can run

Ive been a fan of tiny Mac laptops for many years. From the 12-inch PowerBook G4 to the iBook to the 11-inch MacBook Air , Ive always opted for the smallest laptop I could get my hands on. And yet, with the discontinuation of the 12-inch MacBook, the smallest Apple goes is the 13-inch MacBook Air. Is the Air as small as a Mac laptop can get? I dont think so. And thats why I think Apple should add an additional laptop to its product line and bring back the 12-inch MacBook. To read this article in

Apple is planting its own flag in the streaming wars with Apple TV+ , its in-house streaming service that focuses almost entirely on original programming rather than an extensive library of existing TV shows or movies. Though the service has been available for only about a year and and doesnt yet have a lot of shows or films available, theres a lot in the works. This is a list of all the Apple TV+ content we know of so far, along with details about prominent stars, directors, producers, and rele

I think we can all agree that there are times when the current reality could be a little...better. For several years, Apple has talked up the potential of the augmented reality space, and more recently, there have been rumors that the company is getting ready to take those ambitions to the next level by releasing a product focused on augmented reality, virtual realityor possibly both. But Apple isn't one to take on projects casually: despite the multitude of calls for Apple to enter this market

Weve heard rumors for about a year or so that Apple is on the verge of launching some products with Mini LED display technology. It could come to MacBooks, iPads, iMacsreally anything with a display, though its quite unlikely to ever end up in Apple Watch or iPhone (which use OLED displays). What is a Mini LED display and what will it do for you? This short explanation may help you understand why this technology can be such a big step forward for Apples products.

You plug in your adapter to your laptop, and the battery doesnt charge reliably. Sometimes, your Mac dings to let you know its plugged in to power; other times, you have to plug and unplug, or even restart your computer. Whats up?

Apples latest expansion of the AirPods brand is a set of large over-the-ear wireless headphones. The AirPods Max look great, sound great, and are quite comfortable despite their heavy weight. Theyre also $549, a difficult price to justify when the competition (primarily the Sony WH-1000XM4 and the Bose 700 ) are around $200 to $250 less. In some ways, the AirPod Max give you what you pay for. Build quality is unmatched at any price, and there are some clever design flourishes. But there are also

Just as I wrapped up a series I worked on most of last year about the most notable Macs of all time, I received a comment on Twitter about a specific peculiarity about my list that Id never considered. Its super interesting to me that only one Intel machine made it on, wrote Jay Parlar. I looked andyep. Despite the Intel Mac era lasting 15 years, the only Mac on my list that originated in that era was the second-generation MacBook Air . I considered several others , but they didnt make the cut.
