The Latest on Apple: Page 6

Here's the funny thing about Liquid Glass, Apple's boldest interface redesign since iOS 7: it's been everywhere and nowhere at the same time. When Apple unveiled it at WWDC 2025 on June 9, the tech world collectively held its breath. This wasn't another incremental update with a few visual tweaks. It was Apple saying, "We're completely rethinking how you interact with your devices," then making everything look like actual glass.

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 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. Compatibility extends to iPhone 11 and newer (plus iPhone SE 2nd and 3rd generation), so the update touches a huge crowd. The real question is: should you install...

Apple's Sleep Score feature in watchOS 26 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 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 platforms are also loosening frictions between...

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.

The iPhone X was not just another incremental update. It was Apple's most expensive iPhone to date (starting price $999), introduced specifically to commemorate the 10th...

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. Some trackers reported the smartwatch market rebounded smartwatch market rebounded in Q2 2024 (e.g., ~4% per one analysis), but other trackers reported flat or declining shipments; estimates vary by firm.. Yet Apple’s sales velocity lagged competitors that rode...

Apple device management just got a major upgrade. iMazing started life as a more powerful alternative to iTunes, but has since evolved into something far more comprehensive, a desktop solution that transforms how you manage Apple devices across personal, educational, and business environments. Not a sidekick, a control center.

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...

The first benchmark results for Apple's A19 Pro chip have finally surfaced, and the numbers hint at where iPhone performance is headed.

Apple has also shuffled the deck across the iPhone 17 line. The iPhone Air gets a custom 5-core GPU version, and one early Metal score shows it about 15% faster than last...

Apple just dropped the AirPods Pro 3, and honestly, the timing couldn't be better. Three years after the Pro 2 hit the market, we're finally getting meaningful upgrades that go way beyond a minor spec bump. The standout feature? Those new foam-infused ear tips that come in five different sizes, including a brand-new XXS option that wasn't available before. Apple claims these changes, combined with improved computational audio and design tweaks, deliver twice the active noise cancellation of the...

You think current iPhone prices are high? We haven't seen anything yet. While everyone debates whether a $2,000 iPhone 17 Pro Max makes financial sense, Apple is quietly lining up a device that makes even top-shelf slabs look like budget buys.

Apple's decision to extend free iPhone satellite messaging through 2026 signals a long-term bet on this technology—not just another timeline adjustment.

It signals that Apple has officially lifted the curtain on the iPhone 17 lineup, including the highly anticipated iPhone 17 Air model.

Apple's been teasing us with Center Stage on iPads for years, and now it's finally making the leap to where we actually need it most, our iPhones.

Apple's next iPhone generation is bringing some serious selfie game to the table. Reports suggest the iPhone 17 series could jump from the current 12MP front cameras to a to a 24MP sensor, potentially across all four models.
