The tech giant officially launched its Hypertension Notifications feature for Apple Watch users in Canada, Singapore, and Bahrain, according to MacRumors. The move follows the feature's initial rollout to over 150 countries and territories just last month, as reported by MacRumors....

When you pick up your shiny new iPhone 17 or iPhone Air, the last thing you expect is for one of its marquee features to refuse to work. Yet that is exactly what happened to users across the globe when Apple Intelligence decided to take an unscheduled vacation. The bug blocked users from accessing core AI features like Genmoji, Image Playground, and Writing Tools, essentially rendering their premium devices partially neutered. Apple's latest AI-powered capabilities represent a fundamental part...

Apple's strategic recruitment of Collin Campbell, NPR's Senior Vice President of Podcasting Strategy and Franchise Development, reads like more than a typical tech hire. It is a calculated chess move in the intensifying podcast wars. According to 9to5Mac, Campbell brings a rare mix of credentials that can reset Apple's competitive footing: executive leadership at NPR, hands-on operational experience from Spotify's Gimlet acquisition, and a record of turning around podcast operations that had...

Apple's latest move to address marking issues on iPhone 17 display units shows how quickly the company responds to customer experience concerns. Recent reports revealed that protective silicone rings have been quietly added to in-store MagSafe charging stands, according to MacRumors. The hardware tweak followed Apple confirming last month that deteriorated MagSafe chargers in retail locations were causing what looked like scratches on iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models, not gouges, just material...

When you walk into an Apple Store to check out the shiny new iPhone 17 Pro, the last thing you expect is scratches on the display models. Yet that is exactly what shoppers saw when the phones first hit retail floors, and the internet promptly christened it “Scratchgate.” Apple has stepped in with an explanation and a fix, protective silicone rings on in‑store MagSafe chargers.

When regulatory agencies handle confidential tech schematics, one small mistake can expose months of carefully guarded secrets. That is exactly what happened when the FCC mistakenly leaked confidential iPhone 16e schematics, giving us an unprecedented look at Apple's latest budget powerhouse before its official release.

Everyday consumer tech, once just convenience, now doubles as a quiet crime-fighting partner.

Apple finds itself in hot water over delayed AI features, but the company isn't backing down. Apple filed a motion to dismiss the class action lawsuit targeting its Apple Intelligence rollout delays on Thursday. The company says two missing Siri features do not justify sweeping legal claims. The twist, and it is a big one, is how this fight spotlights the stakes of the AI arms race and the risk when Apple's famously polished marketing collides with the messy reality of shipping AI.

When two tech giants like Intel and Apple start talking investment, you pay attention. Intel has reached out in hopes of securing an investment from Apple Inc., a move that could shape the next chapter of semiconductor history. The timing is a twist worth savoring. Apple was a longtime customer of Intel before developing its own in-house chip in 2020. Now the old partners might reunite, only with Intel in the supplicant seat rather than the supplier chair. Intel's stock rose about 6.4%...

Since the DMA entered into force on Nov. 1, 2022, and began to apply from May 2, 2023, Apple isn't pulling any punches. The company claims regulators have created a mess that's hurting the very people the law was supposed to help. It argues that the DMA is forcing "concerning changes" to how it designs products, while Samsung currently leads European smartphone shipments and, unlike Apple, was not among the Commission's first designated DMA gatekeepers (Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, ByteDance, Meta,...

The Apple ecosystem just got more complicated, and more exciting. Apple's standard AirPods now offer active noise cancellation for an additional $50, bringing them closer to the AirPods Pro than ever before. At the same time, the AirPods Pro 3 adopt a more streamlined case design, but Apple hasn't announced a hidden LED indicator or capacitive pairing button. While adding headline features like heart rate monitoring and stronger active noise cancellation. With many new differences, the choice...

Apple's recent decision to remove ICEBlock from its App Store has ignited a heated debate about tech companies, government pressure, and user privacy, though not in the way Trump administration officials expected. Apple removed the free iPhone app that allowed users to anonymously report ICE agent sightings after law enforcement raised safety concerns. The app had gained over one million users before its removal. It did not go quietly. The controversy lit up timelines and threw a spotlight on...

Apple's rumor mill is in overdrive, and the latest whispers about a 20th anniversary "iPhone 20" and the long-awaited iPhone Fold have us genuinely excited about what could be the biggest iPhone shake-up in years. With production schedules ramping up for 2026 and leaked specifications painting a picture of Apple's most ambitious iPhone yet, this could be the most significant evolution since iPhone X transformed the industry. Here is what we know, what we think we know, and why Apple's foldable...

Every September, Apple drops the familiar line about the "best iPhone lineup ever." Most years, that is marketing gloss on small tweaks. This time, with the iPhone 17 series, it actually lands. 9to5Mac notes that Apple has made four fantastic new iPhone models, and every new iPhone this year is a winner. The numbers agree, analysts reported pre-order demand was about 25% higher than the iPhone 16 series a year prior. Here is why this lineup feels like a real reset of Apple's iPhone hierarchy.

Just days after the iPhone 17 Pro hit shelves, a familiar tech-world pattern shows up. Brand-new phones, fresh out of the box, already sporting scratches and scuffs. Normally, the internet gave it a name: Scratchgate.

You have probably heard Apple just switched to its own cellular modems. Here is the twist that caught everyone off guard: the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, Apple's flagship models, are still running on Qualcomm hardware. Meanwhile, Apple quietly shipped two in-house modems in other devices, a strategy that favors refinement over spraying new silicon across the lineup.

When two tech titans start talking money, the industry perks up. Intel has approached Apple about a potential investment as part of its comeback strategy, a twist in a long, complicated relationship. The talks land as Intel is partially owned by the U.S. government and scrambling to regain footing in semiconductors. When the news hit, Intel's stock jumped 6% and Apple's dipped 1%. Both companies kept quiet. Of course they did.

Three days out, Apple TV+ yanks a major series. Something is up. Apple’s decision to postpone "The Savant" on Tuesday, September 23, originally set to debut September 26, created a rare public rift with one of its biggest stars. Jessica Chastain expressed her disappointment with the call, a striking break from the usual united front. The timing made it sting more, with Apple pulling mentions of the launch from social channels just as viewers were getting ready to hit play.

Apple's latest flagship has just gone under the knife, and what iFixit found inside is a fascinating mix of engineering brilliance and design compromises. The teardown video, nearly 11 minutes long, starts with two Torx screws at the bottom and quickly gets interesting. A new cooling system. A camera plateau that scratches too easily. Plenty to chew on.

Apple's iPhone 17 Pro is in the spotlight for two very different reasons: a bold thermal design and some eyebrow-raising durability quirks. iFixit's comprehensive teardown analysis takes us inside the hardware, showing why Apple made its first return to aluminum in eight years, and how the new cooling system and the so-called "scratchgate" can both be true at once.

Ever been stuck with a dying iPhone battery when you need your phone most? Picture this: you are halfway through a cross-country flight, your iPhone’s battery icon is flashing red, and you have three hours of travel left. That used to mean scrambling for cables and wall outlets. Not anymore. MagSafe technology has changed the game entirely. WIRED confirms that MagSafe is integrated into iPhone 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 models, using a ring of magnets that lets you attach wireless charging...

Spotify's triumphant return to Mac DJ software is not just news, it is a game-changer for the Apple ecosystem.

For Mac users, that is a tangible shift in creative workflow inside the ecosystem many of us live in every day.

Apple's 2025 smartwatch lineup brings some compelling choices, but there's one model that's quietly stealing the show. The Apple Watch SE 3 just landed with major upgrades that make it surprisingly competitive with its premium siblings.

Plus, the Apple Watch SE 3 is the first SE model with an always-on display, finally addressing one of the...

When you look at the payments landscape today, it is hard not to be impressed by how quickly Apple turned a complex, hardware dependent process into something as simple as tapping two phones together. The company’s latest announcement that Tap to Pay on iPhone is now available in five countries: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Monaco, and Norway might read like a routine expansion. It is not. We are watching the late innings of a transformation in how European businesses accept payments.

When Elon Musk's legal team filed papers in a Texas federal court this August, they were not just taking aim at Apple's App Store policies, they were launching what could be the most consequential antitrust battle in the AI era. xAI's lawsuit against Apple and OpenAI alleges a coordinated effort to suppress competition, with Apple and OpenAI jointly moving to dismiss the claims. The stakes? Billions of dollars in damages and potentially the future of AI competition itself.

Apple's latest iPhone releases have sparked intense curiosity about their real-world durability. With the iPhone Air being Apple's thinnest phone (5.64mm) and the iPhone 17 Pro featuring new aluminum unibody designs, tech enthusiasts are eager to see how these devices hold up under extreme conditions. Thin is in, but durability still matters. Recent testing reveals a fascinating story of engineering triumph and persistent vulnerabilities that every potential buyer should understand.

If you've been following Apple's silicon roadmap, you know the drill. M1 arrived in 2020, M2 in 2022, M3 in 2023, and M4 rolled out across the Mac lineup throughout 2024. Apple's cadence has been remarkably predictable, until now. The M5 timeline is shaping up to break from tradition in ways that might surprise you.

When Apple claimed the iPhone Air would be their most durable iPhone ever, many questioned how something so impossibly thin could withstand real-world use. At just 5.6mm thick, Apple tossed an iPhone Air across the room to a reporter so they could attempt to bend it during an interview. Gutsy. The titanium frame gives the phone elasticity, while the arrangement of the internals gives it structural integrity. And independent testing backed it up, showing just how tough this ultra-thin device is...

Apple just dropped iOS 26, and let's be honest, this isn't your typical incremental update.
