The Latest on Apple

When Apple announced the iPhone Air at just 5.6mm thick, the tech world immediately questioned one thing: how could something that thin possibly have decent battery life? Not by cutting corners, but by changing the playbook. The iPhone Air weighs only 165 grams and keeps a 6.5-inch OLED display. And yet, tucked inside is a battery rethink that rewrites the thinness versus power story.

When Apple introduced Liquid Glass at WWDC 2025, it was supposed to be a game-changer. The company's Vice President of Human Interface Design Alan Dye called it "our broadest software design update ever," rolling out this translucent, dynamic design language across iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe, watchOS 26, and tvOS 26. Here is the rub, what looked stunning in Apple's carefully controlled demos has turned into a real-world accessibility mess that exposes how narrowly Apple still designs for...

Apple's latest iOS 26 update has officially arrived, bringing with it a comprehensive redesign and a suite of powerful new features that transform how we interact with our iPhones. Apple released iOS 26 on September 15, 2025, marking the most significant visual overhaul since iOS 7. The update introduces the striking Liquid Glass design language, enhanced Apple Intelligence capabilities, and practical improvements to core apps like Phone, Messages, and Camera. Apple has updated its iPhone User...

Apple's latest iOS 19 introduces what they call a new "digital meta-substance" called Liquid Glass, marking what the company describes as "an entirely new visual era." But here's the thing. This is not just another visual refresh. Liquid Glass behaves like a material that lives, breathes, and responds alongside the system, which makes the interface mesmerizing for some users and genuinely disorienting for others.

The whispers coming out of Cupertino are getting louder, and they should have every MacBook Pro user paying attention. What we’re hearing about Apple’s 2026 MacBook Pro is not just another incremental update. It is shaping up to be the most dramatic transformation since the current design launched in 2021.

Apple's first OLED MacBook Pro is officially on track for late 2026, and the implications for professional users could be game-changing. According to Samsung Display, test production of OLED panels has already begun, with the company investing approximately $3 billion in dedicated production facilities. This is more than another incremental update. Bloomberg reports it will be the first major redesign of the MacBook Pro lineup since 2021, pairing cutting-edge display tech with Apple's thinnest...

Let's be honest here, Apple just delivered one of its most ambitious iPhone lineups in years, and early reviews paint a compelling picture. After that September 9th launch, reviewers are calling the iPhone 17 lineup one of the most significant shake-ups in recent iPhone history. You get the standard iPhone 17 at $799, the ultra-thin iPhone Air making its debut, and Pro models that genuinely redefine what a flagship phone can do.

Apple's latest flagship phones are finally here, and they're bringing some serious heat to the premium smartphone game. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max launched on September 19, 2025, representing what many are calling Apple's most significant design overhaul in years. These are not just incremental updates. We're looking at a complete reimagining of what a Pro iPhone can be, from the aluminum unibody construction to the vapor chamber cooling system that finally makes its debut. If you've been...

Sports fans have been waiting for this moment since Apple Sports launched in February 2024. The app finally adds customizable widgets, cutting out the open, refresh, scroll routine that has frustrated users for months. Not a tiny patch. A real shift in how we glance at live scores on our devices. Sports fans have been desperate for Apple to add widgets since day one, and now they are here across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The timing lands as the sports app market alone is worth $3.6 billion, with...

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. Apple unveiled this translucent material that reflects and refracts its surroundings at WWDC 2025, extending it across iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe 26, watchOS 26, and tvOS 26. The scope of this cross-platform rollout helps explain why...

The Apple Watch landscape has shifted dramatically this year, and the SE 3 might just be stealing the spotlight from Apple's flagship Series 11. With reviews calling the SE 3 "the star of this year's lineup" and PCMag noting it delivers "two-day battery life, a top-of-the-line processor, an always-on display, and upgraded sensors," we are seeing something rare in Apple land, a budget Apple Watch that does not feel like a compromise. The SE 3 jumps from the S8 chip to the S10, enabling features...

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 Apple's ecosystem clicks, few things beat the way AirPods just melt into the background. Then reality hits: there are four models in 2025, and picking the right one is not as simple as it used to be. The AirPods Pro 3 refine an already impressive formula, pushing noise cancellation, audio quality, and features that rivals struggle to match. Meanwhile, the AirPods Pro 2 are our current favorite in the lineup and Editors' Choice winners thanks to crisp sound, highly effective transparency...

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. Starting December 18, 2024, iCloud backups only work on devices running iOS 9 or later. 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.

Apple's latest macOS release is here, and it's bringing some serious changes to your Mac experience. MacRumors confirms that macOS Tahoe is the latest version of macOS, set to launch this fall with a complete visual overhaul called Liquid Glass. This is not just another incremental update. We are looking at what MoneyControl calls "the boldest macOS update in over a decade," and they are not wrong.

Apple's highly anticipated iOS 26 officially launched today, bringing what the company calls the biggest redesign since iOS 7. Millions of iPhone users can download it right now. The mood among developers, though, is mixed. The new Liquid Glass design has proved almost as controversial as that minimalist iOS 7 overhaul back in 2013. With compatibility extending to iPhone 11 series and newer, the update touches a huge crowd. The real question, should you install it today?

You know what really struck me about Apple's latest moves with the iPhone Air's MagSafe battery? It is not just that they brought back the MagSafe battery after years away. Or that they are charging $99 for a pack that provides up to 65 percent additional charge and bumps video playback from 27 to 40 hours. What jumps out is how blunt Apple is about charging limits, a rare bit of straight talk in 2025’s tangle of proprietary standards and peak-number bragging.

Apple's Sleep Score feature in watchOS 11 is a step change in how we read our nights. Competitors like Samsung, Garmin, and Fitbit have offered sleep scoring for years, but Apple's take lands differently. The feature assigns a single-number score from 0 to 100 to your sleep each night, built on over 5 million nights of sleep data from Apple's Heart and Movement Study and guidance from leading sleep organizations.

So you've got your eye on Apple's latest wearables, but you're wondering if the Series 11 is worth the upgrade from the Series 10? Let me break it down. Apple updated its entire Apple Watch lineup at its September event, with the Series 11 leading the pack. Here's the twist, visually, the Series 11 looks a lot like the Series 10, the same thin profile and edge-to-edge display. So the real question is simple, do the under-the-hood tweaks move the needle?

When Apple unveiled the iPhone X in September 2017, few could have predicted just how profoundly it would reshape the smartphone landscape. Eight years ago, the iPhone X set the table for everything that has come since, marking what Tim Cook called a device that would "set the path for technology for the next decade". The iPhone X was not just another incremental update. It was Apple's most important and most expensive smartphone in four years, introduced specifically to commemorate the tenth...

Apple's latest iPhone 17 lineup has revealed its repair fee structure, and honestly, it's a bit of a mixed bag. Apple recently disclosed its out-of-warranty repair fees for all of the iPhone 17 and iPhone Air models, ahead of their anticipated launch. What's particularly noteworthy is that Apple's battery replacement fees did not increase for the latest iPhone models in the U.S. Apple is charging a flat $119 to replace the battery inside an iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, or iPhone Air. That...

Breaking my own personal iPhone upgrade ritual for the first time in years wasn't a decision I made lightly. As someone who's built a career analyzing the latest tech trends, I've always been among the first to get my hands on Apple's newest offerings. But here's the thing: recent data shows I'm not alone in this shift. A Morgan Stanley survey found that 51% of iPhone owners are "extremely likely" to upgrade in the next 12 months, an all-time high that's 18 percentage points higher than any...

Apple's online store is showing that familiar "Be right back" message, a sign that something big is about to drop. The Apple Store is down ahead of iPhone 17 preorders, which are set to begin Friday, September 12th at 5AM PST. The ritual is predictable, still exciting. It signals that Apple has officially lifted the curtain on the iPhone 17 lineup, including the highly anticipated iPhone 17 Air model.

Apple's sprint toward the future just tripped in one of its biggest markets. The iPhone Air, Apple’s boldest design statement so far, is facing an unusual delay in China that puts innovation and regulation on a collision course.

When Steve Jobs was ousted from Apple in 1985, who guessed his next venture would become the tech that later saved the company he co-founded? After a boardroom power struggle he walked out, then invested $12 million of his own money to create NeXT, Inc. The paradox that followed is hard to beat, a company that would struggle to gain traction in the market yet ultimately become the startup that brought Jobs back to Apple and powered its biggest breakthroughs.

The iPhone 17 series is making waves among Android enthusiasts, and for good reason. After years of watching Android phones pioneer features that Apple later adopted, the pattern is still alive with the upcoming iPhone 17 lineup. The twist, Apple’s silicon advantage still matters, with chips topping efficiency tests year after year according to AnandTech and Geekbench. The platforms are also loosening frictions between themselves, with USB-C finally arriving and Apple embracing the GSMA's RCS...

The wearables market is having a moment, just not the kind Apple might have hoped for. While IDC data shows Apple secured a 17.9% market share in Q2 2024, making them a top-five player globally, the story under those numbers is messier. The global smartwatch market rebounded with 4% growth in Q2 2024 after six straight quarters of decline. Yet Apple’s sales velocity lagged competitors that rode the recovery more aggressively.

The streaming world has changed dramatically in the past five years, but nothing illustrates that transformation quite like Apple TV+'s remarkable Emmy journey. When the service launched in 2019, skeptics wondered if a tech company could really compete with Hollywood's established players. Fast forward to 2025, and Apple TV+ has earned a record-breaking 81 Emmy Award nominations across 14 titles, a clear signal that Apple's unique approach to content creation isn't just working, it is reshaping...

If you thought the smartphone chip wars were competitive before, Apple's A19 Pro just rewrote the entire playbook. We're talking about a mobile processor that's literally outperforming desktop CPUs, and when I say outperforming, I mean the A19 Pro is leaving AMD's flagship Ryzen 9 9950X eating dust in single-thread performance. After years of covering chip launches and testing countless devices, I can tell you this is not an incremental improvement, it is a fundamental shift in what mobile...

Apple's latest extension of free satellite messaging is not just another routine announcement, it is a strategic move that shows the company's long-term vision for this technology. When Apple announced that it's extending free satellite service into 2026 for iPhone 14 and 15 users, it marked the second time the company has pushed back its original timeline. Not a coincidence. For many industry watchers, it reads like confirmation of what they suspected all along.

Looking at these new AirPods Pro 3, Apple’s timing is remarkably strategic. Three years after the Pro 2, Apple used that runway to push AirPods toward health devices that happen to play music, not the other way around.
