When you think about chip performance, it is rare to see numbers that make you sit up. The first benchmark results for Apple’s M5 chip do exactly that. The initial performance data from the 14-inch MacBook Pro has emerged, pointing to a leap in processing power that stretches what we expect from a laptop.

When Apple announced its five-year Formula 1 streaming partnership, it was not just another sports deal hitting the headlines. It read like a calculated chess move, a signal that American motorsport viewing is about to change. The tech giant has officially secured exclusive U.S. media rights for F1 races starting in 2026, according to Economic Times, and the financial commitment tells the story of their ambitions.

Apple has been quietly tweaking the iPhone's alarm system, and the latest change in iOS 26.1 beta 2 might just save you from those dreaded oversleeping incidents. You know the scene. You're half-asleep, pawing at the nightstand, and you tap "Stop" instead of "Snooze." Two hours vanish, and you're staring at the ceiling, wondering why the backup never sounded.

Apple's iPhone Air promises something we haven't seen in years: the chance to actually choose what matters most to you in a smartphone.

Apple's been making some serious moves behind the scenes, and the latest reports paint a clear picture: the company is shifting gears from the Vision Pro to something that might actually live in your daily routine. Apple has halted a planned overhaul of its Vision Pro mixed-reality headset, reallocating resources to accelerate development of smart glasses. This isn't just another rumor, Apple told staff internally in early October 2025 that it's moving employees from that project to speed up...

When Apple sets its sights on a major market expansion, tax rules can make or break the plan. Right now, the tech giant is lobbying Indian officials over a 1961 tax law. Obscure on paper, high stakes in practice. Apple is pushing India's government to modify income tax rules so the high-end iPhone manufacturing equipment it provides to contract manufacturers is not taxed, according to recent reports. The company is worried the current framework could trigger billions in additional tax liability...

When Apple's services chief Eddy Cue said Apple TV+ would simply become "Apple TV," plenty of people did a double take. Maybe we shouldn't have. We have seen this movie before. Apple lets real world language steer the label, then makes it official. "iPhone OS" slid into "iOS" because developers already said it that way, and "Apple Computer" pared down to "Apple" when the company grew beyond Macs.

Tim Cook's recent commitment to deepen Apple's China investment lands at a delicate intersection of geopolitics and corporate calculus. His pledge during a Beijing visit is more than routine. It is a bet on managing one of tech's most tangled relationships. How high are the stakes? China generates roughly $360 billion a year from its Apple partnership, roughly the GDP of South Africa, Apple Gadget Hacks reports. And about seven out of every ten iPhones worldwide are produced or assembled there,...

Apple marketing chief Greg Joswiak sent shockwaves through the tech community today with a cryptic social media post declaring that "something powerful is coming," according to MacRumors. The accompanying animation flashes a MacBook Pro silhouette and the words "coming soon." Then the wink. The laptop outline forms a Roman numeral V, and Joswiak's caption spells out "Mmmmm" with exactly five M's, as reported by MacRumors. Subtle? Not really. It reads like Apple teeing up the M5.

With the wearable AI market projected to explode from...

Apple just made a move that perfectly captures everything wrong with its entertainment branding strategy.

Instead of fixing the mess, it turns a muddle into a minor crisis.

Looking at Apple's latest headphone lineup, you are faced with two compelling but dramatically different options. The AirPods Pro 3 just landed at $249, with what Apple claims is twice the noise cancellation power of its predecessor.
