Macworld If Apple CEO Tim Cook retired on his 60th birthday, back in 2020, this article would be considerably easier to write. Wed start with the phenomenal strides made by the company under his watch: Profit and revenue doubled, the market value lifted from $350 billion to $2 trillion (the first U.S. company to hit that milestone). We could discuss the cultural impact made by the Apple Watch and AirPods, the canny pivot to services, and the regulatory storms navigated with deft tact. Ultimately

Macworld The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are expected to launch at an Apple event on September 9, 2026 featuring several cutting-edge hardware advancements, including the debut of Apples C2 modem, and a shift to a 2nm manufacturing process for the A20 Pro chip. Other key rumored upgrades include a smaller Dynamic Island with under-display Face ID components and camera improvements that may include variable aperture on the Pro Max and enhanced sensors. Alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max Apple

Macworld Apple TV has been on a bit of a roll lately, with a string of hit shows including Widows Bay , Severance , Pluribus , and the return of Ted Lasso . Unfortunately, all that premium programming doesnt come cheaply, because Apple is raising prices on its streaming service once again, from $12.99 to $14.99 a month. The last Apple TV price increase was a year ago when it raised prices from $9.99 to $12.99, a 30 percent price hike. This latest bump is about half that, but its still another fi

Macworld Macs include strong built-in malware protection, including XProtect, Gatekeeper, Notarization and other security layers, so third-party antivirus isnt essential for everyone. If you keep macOS up to date, download apps only from the Mac App Store and trusted websites, and are cautious about links, attachments and unexpected prompts, Apples own protections may be sufficient. However, macOS is not immune to threats. As Macs have become more popular, theyve become a more attractive target

Macworld Just a few days ago, Apple announced the date for its annual Phone event : Wednesday, September 9, less than two weeks away. Were expecting Apple to unveil its first-ever folding iPhone at the event, along with the iPhone 18 Pro and Apple Watch Series 12 . But if youre looking to but one of them, you might have to wait longer than usual. A reliable source has told Macwelt that pre-orders this year are not set to begin, as usual, on the Friday following the launch. Instead, Apple will op

Macworld Earlier this week, Apple surprised us with a brand-new Mac Studio powered by an M5 Ultra processor and up to 512GB of RAM. We expect that option, which wont be available until late October, will cost upwards of $15,000. That in itself will limit its availability to a very small percentage of Mac users. On top of that, given the 10- to 12-week backorder for the 256GB model just days after its release, we dont expect many people to actually get their hands on it anytime soon. So the peopl

Macworld Arguably the greatest feat of the AirPods is that they gain new features with every iOS update without the need for any hardware changes: in 2024, they became (rudimentary) hearing aids , and with iOS 26 came live tra n slation . So its hardly surprising that the AirPods will also gain new features with iOS 27, for which you wont need to buy new headphones. If youd like, you can try out these features right now with the iOS 27 beta or you can wait about another month until iOS 27 is re

Macworld TL;DR: GoCable is an 8-function, 100W-capable USB-C and Lightning cable with data transfer, magnetic storage, an LED display, a cutter, bottle opener, and carabiner for $24.99.

GoCable takes a more ambitious approach , squeezing eight practical features into a 5.9-inch keyring accessory thats currently $24.99 instead of $49.99. Its headline feature is charging at up to 100W, making it suit

Macworld TL;DR: PDF Expert Premium for Mac is now $79.99 for a lifetime license (reg. $139.99), covering editing, signing, OCR, page management, and file conversions on your Mac with no monthly fee attached. Adobe moved Acrobat to a subscription model a while back, and it truly seems insane anyone would pay monthly for software that simple. PDF Expert is the one-time replacement that stops you from having to hunt down a free PDF editor or submit a subscription. The Premium Plan is a one-time $7

Macworld According to reports, Apple is going to expand its presence in the wearable market with a new product: smart glasses. The Apple smart glasses that have been reported are a departure from the spatial computing platform of the Apple Vision Pro . They wont be a headset and they wont offer AR or spatial computing. They arent going to be a computing device in any way. Instead, they will be glasses like those from Meta AI and other companies. They will be designed like typical eyeglasses, not

Macworld With all eyes on the imminent iPhone and Apple Watch launches, Apple-watching pundits were surprised this week when the company itself accidentally leaked a video of some new camera-equipped AirPods in action. But if you think the existence of an instructional video means the product must be ready for launch, youre in for some bad news. According to the well-connected Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman , the leak changes nothing, and the devices still wont launch until 2027. The video appar

Macworld Apples WWDC keynote may be long behind us now, but Apples event calendar for 2026 is far from finished. With iOS 27, macOS 27 Golden Gate, and the latest Apple Intelligence and Siri updates now unveiled, attention is turning to the companys next big launch. Apple rarely confirms event dates far in advance, and theres no guarantee an event will take place within its usual window. That leaves Apple fans and anyone considering a new Apple device wondering when the next Apple event will h

Macworld Theres likely less than a month to go until Apple unveils its new iPhones . The iPhone Ultra will get the biggest headlines, but far more people will buy its sibling, the cheaper (but still expensive) iPhone 18 Pro. And were learning more and more about this device with each passing week. The latest revelation is that it will have the same or very nearly the same dimensions and general design as its direct predecessor, the iPhone 17 Pro from late 2025.
