Let's face it—staying motivated with your fitness goals can be tough.

But here's something interesting: research shows that sharing your activity can boost your resolve to achieve that ideal weight or improve your fitness. The Apple ecosystem offers some powerful built-in tools for fitness accountability that most people never fully explore. Apple's official data...

Apple's Notes app has quietly evolved from that basic note-taking tool to something genuinely powerful, and with iOS 26, it's taking another significant leap forward. MacRumors confirms that iOS 26, currently in beta, has gained new Markdown support, letting you seamlessly import and export files in the popular plain-text formatting language. The functionality works both ways: you can bring existing Markdown files into Notes while preserving formatting like headings, links, and lists, or export...

The world of charging has just gotten a major upgrade, and if you're juggling multiple Apple devices, this could be the game-changer you didn't know you needed. Picture this: one cable handling your MacBook Pro, iPhone, and Apple Watch simultaneously, delivering a whopping 240W of power. The USB-IF officially launched certification for 240W USB-C cables, marking a significant leap from the previous 100W standard. This advancement was made possible by EPR (Extended Power Range) technology, which...

The Apple TV 4K just dropped at exactly the right moment. While other tech companies scramble to catch up with HDR standards, Apple's timing couldn't be better. The third-generation Apple TV 4K launched in 2022 with support for Dolby Vision and HDR10+, positioning it perfectly as advanced Dolby Vision technology continues its market dominance. This isn't just another streaming box—it's Apple's answer to the evolving home theater landscape, arriving precisely when physical media is disappearing...

When you look at the upcoming iPhone 17 lineup, the talk around pricing is giving everyone mixed feelings—and honestly, that's putting it lightly. Apple's September 9, 2025 launch date is approaching fast, and while there's technically some "good news" about pricing, it comes with a hefty asterisk that might make your wallet nervous.

Apple's Vision Pro made waves when it launched, but let's be honest—the $3,499 price tag and hefty design left many potential users watching from the sidelines. Now, supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is painting a picture of Apple's next move: a significantly lighter and more affordable Vision Air headset arriving in 2027. According to Kuo's analysis, Apple still "views head-mounted devices as the next major trend in consumer electronics," and the Vision Air represents their strategy to bring...

Apple's been promising us the future for years, and now it looks like your AirPods might finally become that universal translator you've been dreaming about since watching sci-fi movies. But here's the thing—while Apple is planning to bring live translation directly to AirPods, the timeline isn't quite what you might expect. The feature is tied to iOS 19, expected to launch in fall 2025—not the current iOS 18 beta that's making headlines. Even more interesting? Google brought this feature to...

When Bloomberg's Mark Gurman first reported that Apple plans to ship new AirPods Pro models in the fall of 2025, it was clear we weren't looking at just another iterative update. Apple's latest earbuds are shaping up to be more than just an audio upgrade—they're positioning themselves as genuine health monitoring devices that happen to play music brilliantly too.

When Epic Games challenged Apple's App Store monopoly in 2020, few expected the legal battle would drag on for nearly five years or culminate in such a dramatic reversal of fortune. Now, with Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers' scathing 80-page contempt ruling finding Apple in "willful violation" of court orders, we're witnessing what might be the most significant challenge to Apple's App Store control since its inception.

Apple's September 9 event is almost here, and the buzz around the iPhone 17 Pro is absolutely electric.

The new smartphones will come equipped with the latest iOS 26 features, including a revolutionary Liquid Glass interface and advanced AI capabilities that demand serious...

Apple's latest legal filing in the Epic Games saga reads like a tech giant's desperate last stand. The company that built its empire on controlling every aspect of the user experience is now crying "unconstitutional" as courts force open the doors of its carefully guarded App Store kingdom. But here's what you need to know: this isn't just corporate drama—it's a fundamental shift in how digital marketplaces operate, and we're watching Apple's legendary control slip away in real time.

Apple's foldable iPhone journey has taken an unexpected turn, and the latest leaks are stirring up quite the debate in tech circles. While we've been eagerly anticipating Apple's entry into the foldable market, recent reports suggest the iPhone Fold won't feature the under-screen Touch ID many were hoping for. Instead, Ming-Chi Kuo indicates that thickness and internal space constraints prevent Face ID from being included in the first-generation device. The device will reportedly use Touch ID...

Apple's recent push toward robotics in manufacturing isn't just a tech trend—it's a fundamental shift that could reshape how the world's most valuable company builds its products.

The Information reports that Apple plans to expand its eSIM-only approach worldwide by 2025, marking the most significant change in mobile connectivity since the smartphone revolution began.

Apple's latest MLS Season Pass pricing move is a masterclass in strategic timing and ecosystem lock-in. In September 2024, Apple has quietly dropped the price again, reducing the standard subscription to $9.99 for the remaining few months and letting Apple TV+ subscribers sign up for free. This isn't just about clearing inventory—it's about demonstrating how Apple leverages its services ecosystem to create compelling value propositions that keep users firmly planted in its walled garden.

When you first hold the iPhone Air, your immediate reaction might be something close to disbelief. It feels unreal. Here's the thing: smartphones have gotten progressively heavier and thicker over the years as manufacturers stuffed more cameras, bigger batteries, and additional features into every device. The iPhone Air throws all of that conventional wisdom out the window. At just 5.6mm thick and weighing only 146 grams, this is Apple's thinnest iPhone ever. It is a statement piece that...

Apple just dropped iOS 26. If you've got your hands on one of the shiny new iPhone 17 models, you need this update, no way around it. iOS 26 is out now and ready to download, bringing what Apple calls the biggest update to the software since iOS 7 in 2013. Here's what to know to get your iPhone 17 up and running with the latest from Cupertino.

Apple's Liquid Glass redesign is everywhere, except where it should be working perfectly. The company that prides itself on seamless user experiences has rolled out its most ambitious visual overhaul since iOS 7, but CNET reports the UI is still being refined.

The scope of this cross-platform rollout helps explain why...

Apple's Sports app finally made its way to CarPlay with iOS 18.4. Great, right? Not quite. While Apple introduced a dedicated sports mode that lets live scores sit next to navigation and music, the new iOS widget trick does not carry over to CarPlay. So your phone feels cohesive, your dashboard does not.

When the latest Apple Watch generation hits the market, you're faced with three distinct choices, each targeting different users and budgets. But here's what's interesting: after diving deep into the specs, features, and real-world performance data, The Verge got it right when they declared that "the Apple Watch SE 3 is the one to buy." The middle child of this family has evolved from a budget compromise into what's becoming the clear sweet spot for most users.

Apple's latest AirPods Pro 3 land as what PCMag calls Apple's most comprehensive update to its best set of earbuds, and one feature in particular has fitness folks buzzing: built-in heart rate monitoring. Bikerumor reports that a custom photoplethysmography, PPG, sensor uses infrared light pulsing at 256 times per second to read blood flow in your ear and capture your heart rate. The hook, as Engadget notes, is how that data drops straight into Apple's Fitness app and big-name workout platforms...

Apple's latest move sends a clear message. The era of legacy device support is winding down. Apple announced this change ahead of time and implemented it on Wednesday, December 18, 2024.

This is not just about dropping support, Apple will permanently delete all existing backups and stop offering backup services for devices running iOS 8 or earlier.
