A company called Tiny Corp claims Apple has approved a driver letting AMD and Nvidia GPUs in external enclosures perform compute tasks on Apple Silicon Macs. That's a notable claim, because Apple's own documentation still says it isn't possible. If accurate, it represents a real exception to a firm architectural boundary. But the story rests on a single report, Apple has made no public announcement, and "compute tasks" is not what most people picture when they hear the words "Apple Silicon eGPU...

Apple released the first developer beta of macOS Tahoe 26.5 on March 30, less than a week after macOS 26.4 shipped to the public. Build 25F5042g arrived alongside iOS 26.5 and iPadOS 26.5 betas, making it a simultaneous push across Apple's core platforms. Developer beta access opened that day. Public beta availability through beta.apple.com has not been confirmed in sourced reporting at the time of writing, so this guide is written for the developer beta path. If you're on the free public beta...

Apple has a new Apple TV 4K ready to ship. Has had one since sometime last year. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the company is deliberately holding it back until an upgraded, more personalized version of Siri is ready to launch alongside it. The hardware is done. Siri isn't.

In June 2007, Apple sold roughly 300,000 iPhones in a single weekend. That device had a 3.5-inch screen, a 2-megapixel camera, 2G EDGE data, and no App Store. By 2024, that single starting point had multiplied into 47 distinct iPhone models (ts2.tech, July 2025). The iPhone 17, launched September 2025, extends the lineup further, with a standard model starting at $799 and 256GB of storage, and a Pro Max topping out at 2TB for the first time.

Claims that the Artemis II splashdown photos were taken on iPhone, and that Apple executives officially welcomed the crew home, have circulated since the mission returned to Earth on April 10. No Apple press release, no NASA equipment record, and no primary-source documentation found in Apple's public-facing channels or NASA's mission logs supports either assertion. The mission itself is real and historic. The photograph at the center of the claim is documented. The Apple attribution is not,...

President Trump told companies Tuesday they would be "brilliant" to walk away from tariff refunds on duties a Supreme Court ruling struck down as unlawful. Then he added: "If they don't do that, I'll remember them." He named Apple and Amazon directly. The stakes are not small: more than 330,000 importers paid the duties in question, and companies are collectively seeking roughly $166 billion back from the government, Reuters reported earlier this month.

Apple released iOS 26.4.1 and iPadOS 26.4.1 this week with a changelog that reads: "This update provides bug fixes for your iPhone." No new features, no confirmed security updates. What that description undersells is the scope of the bug it actually fixes, a CloudKit sync failure that prevented all first and third-party apps using CloudKit from receiving iCloud data changes made on other devices, per Macworld.

Apple's latest Liquid Glass interface redesign has sparked heated debates across the tech community, but if there's one thing we know about Cupertino, it's that they rarely make major design shifts without a long-term vision in mind. While users are split on the new aesthetic direction, the real story here isn't about immediate user satisfaction—it's about where Apple is positioning its entire ecosystem for the future.

The latest MacBook teardown from iFixit has revealed something remarkable: Apple has delivered the most repairable MacBook battery system we've seen in over a decade with MacBook Neo. This is a turning point in how Apple approaches device serviceability, potentially signaling broader changes across its entire laptop lineup.

Ever wondered what it's like to have the exclusive accent colors from Apple's newest devices on your own Mac?

Apple has been steadily building its "Ultra" brand across different product categories, but recent industry reports suggest the company's premium hardware strategy is about to get more complex. While we've seen the Ultra designation transform everything from the Apple Watch to Mac processors, Bloomberg's latest reporting via AppleInsider indicates that Apple's 2026 roadmap includes several high-end devices that won't carry the Ultra moniker at all.

Apple's latest product launch has stirred up the tech world in an unexpected way. The new MacBook Neo represents Apple's entry into truly affordable Mac computing, according to Trusted Reviews, bringing "the magic of the Mac at a breakthrough price" to consumers who've been waiting for a budget-friendly option.

Apple's latest Studio Display models pack impressive upgrades, but there's a significant catch that might surprise Intel Mac users. While Apple's official compatibility list completely excludes Intel Macs, early reports from iDropNews suggest these displays might actually function as basic monitors with older hardware—though with major limitations that could make this an expensive compromise.

iOS 26.4 Apple Podcasts Video Experience: Features and Why Most Shows Are Missing

iPhone users experiencing Outlook calendar sync issues often find themselves missing important meetings or double-booking appointments. These problems typically stem from authentication conflicts, background app refresh settings, or account configuration errors that can create frustrating gaps in your productivity workflow.

Apple's latest Studio Display update might seem like a minor spec bump on the surface – doubling internal storage from 64GB to 128GB, but it reveals something much more significant about where display technology is heading. When monitors start packing the kind of storage you'd find in a tablet, it's worth asking: what exactly is Apple planning to do with all that space?

The Ultimate Mac Showdown: Maxed-Out MacBook Pro vs MacBook Air vs Mac Mini

The tech world loves a good value showdown, and Apple just served up a fascinating one. With three portable computing options can be found around $600 during discounts or refurbished listings, choosing between them isn't as straightforward as you might think. Whether you're eyeing the MacBook Air M2, considering the iPad Air, or weighing the base iPad with a keyboard setup, each brings distinct advantages to the table.

Apple just wrapped up its October 2024 product announcements, and while we saw updates to the MacBook Pro, iMac, and Mac mini lines, there's a notable absence that has many wondering about Apple's strategy for its most accessible tablet. The entry-level iPad—currently sitting on the iPad 10th generation—didn't receive the refresh many were anticipating, leaving users and analysts questioning when we might see an iPad 12 that brings Apple Intelligence to the budget-friendly segment of Apple's...

Apple just made a move that's got everyone talking: they've officially announced the MacBook Neo, a $599 laptop powered by the A18 Pro chip that originally debuted in the iPhone 16 Pro. This marks the one of the first Macs to use an iPhone-derived A-series chip instead of M-series processors, and the MacBook Neo represents Apple's most affordable laptop ever. The company claims it delivers up to 50% faster performance than popular Intel Core Ultra 5 systems for everyday tasks, while offering up...

Apple's quest for the perfect budget portable has been a decades-long journey filled with ambitious experiments, market missteps, and occasional breakthroughs. The rumored MacBook Neo represents just the latest chapter in this ongoing story that stretches back to the mid-1980s when the company first recognized that not every customer needed (or could afford) their flagship machines. Understanding this historical context reveals why Apple continues to wrestle with the fundamental tension between...

When most people think about app discovery on the App Store, they picture simple keyword searches and basic matching algorithms. But Apple's latest research reveals something far more sophisticated happening behind the scenes—and the results are reshaping how millions of apps get discovered every single day.

The tech world is buzzing with Apple's latest hardware announcements, but beneath the sleek marketing lies a compatibility story that's more complex than it first appears. The new MacBook Neo promises seamless integration with Apple's stunning Studio Displays, yet early testing reveals significant limitations that could impact your workflow in unexpected ways.

When you're scrolling through your Apple Music playlist, you might not realize that some of the tracks featuring perfectly pitched vocals or stunning album artwork were partially created by artificial intelligence. That's about to change, as Apple Music has rolled out a significant update on AI-generated content tagging.

Apple's latest MacBook Air announcement brings some intriguing developments that go well beyond the typical annual chip refresh. The M5 MacBook Air introduces enhanced performance capabilities and expanded AI features to what's already the world's most popular laptop.

The rumored elimination of efficiency cores in Apple's upcoming M5 Pro and Max chips has sparked considerable debate among tech enthusiasts. But here's what makes this particularly fascinating: despite this dramatic architectural change, early indicators suggest that MacBook Pro battery life will remain impressively consistent with what we've come to expect from Apple's professional laptops.

Apple's ecosystem has always been about those small but meaningful improvements that make your daily digital life just a bit smoother. The latest update to the Apple Invites app brings exactly that kind of thoughtful enhancement. While it might seem like a minor tweak on the surface, this widget improvement reflects Apple's broader strategy of making information more accessible and contextually relevant across its platform.

When your iPad's screen suddenly goes black, that sinking feeling hits fast. One moment you're scrolling through apps or watching a video, and the next—nothing. Just a dark, unresponsive screen staring back at you. While this scenario can feel alarming (especially if you haven't backed up your data recently), iPad black screen issues are more common than you might think and often have straightforward solutions.

While Apple has made significant improvements to battery technology over the years, the reality is that our phones work harder than ever, juggling everything from always-on displays to background app refreshes and location tracking.

Apple's latest M5 Max MacBook Pro has achieved something that seemed impossible just a few years ago – a laptop processor decisively outperforming a desktop-class chip with nearly twice as many cores. The first verified Geekbench results reveal the M5 Max achieving a multi-core CPU score of 29,233, which tops the 27,726 score achieved by the Mac Studio's M3 Ultra chip, marking a fundamental shift in the performance hierarchy of consumer computing.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported yesterday that Apple's 50th anniversary finale, an internal employee event at Apple Park tonight, will feature a headliner who is "still going strong," "was part of the British Invasion," and is someone Steve Jobs "would've been ecstatic" about, according to 9to5Mac. Apple has confirmed nothing. But the Paul McCartney Apple 50th anniversary inference sits on a foundation of converging clues, a specific promotional window, and decades of unfinished business...

Apple updated its vintage and obsolete products lists this month, moving the iPhone 5 and the 8GB variant of the iPhone 4 into the obsolete category. For those specific devices, the consequence is straightforward: Apple and authorized service providers generally no longer perform hardware repairs or supply parts for either phone, according to 9to5Mac (March 16). The more relevant story, though, involves devices that are far less ancient.

Apple has confirmed one keyboard improvement and is rumored to be planning a second, more ambitious one. The distinction is the story.

The AirPods Max launched in December 2020 with a genuinely strong physical design: premium aluminum ear cups, custom 40mm drivers, and noise cancellation that earned real respect from reviewers. What it lacked was a chip capable of running the software Apple was about to build around its entire AirPods line. The original model shipped with the H1. AirPods Pro moved to the more powerful H2 in September 2022. AirPods Max sat still for three and a half years.

The tech world loves a good chip comparison, but Apple's latest move with the A18 Pro has everyone asking the same question: Can a smartphone processor really handle Mac-level workloads? With Apple's recent architectural decisions blurring the lines between iPhone and Mac silicon, we're witnessing a fascinating convergence that challenges everything we thought we knew about mobile versus desktop computing power.

Apple just made a strategic decision that's getting professional computing users talking: The company appears to be shifting focus away from the extreme high-end memory configurations that made headlines when the M3 Ultra Mac Studio launched. While the 512GB unified memory option technically remains available on Apple's specification pages, the combination of limited availability, premium pricing, and Apple's apparent de-emphasis of this configuration signals a notable change in direction for...

Apple has updated its Developer Program License Agreement to govern how third-party accessories can access iPhone notifications and Live Activities establishing the Apple privacy rules for third-party notifications and Live Activities before the features ship. For EU iPhone users, the practical outcome is this: you will be able to route notifications to a non-Apple smartwatch, but you'll have to give up Apple Watch notifications to do it, and the rival watch still won't get Apple Watch-level...

Apple is reportedly opening Siri to rival AI assistants in iOS 27, ending OpenAI's exclusive position and replacing it with a platform-wide Extensions system. That's the news, reported by Bloomberg last week based on unnamed sources. But the iOS 27 Siri AI extensions story has a second layer most coverage has left unexplored: Apple already shipped the technical infrastructure to connect those AI services directly to app data and automation logic. It's been sitting inside Shortcuts since last...
