News and Updates about Apple

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. After spending time with Apple's thinnest iPhone ever, measuring just 5.6mm thick (Android Central), it became obvious this device is more than another incremental update. The Air launched alongside the iPhone 17 series on September 19, 2025, with global availability starting September 26 (Android Central). It starts at $999 with 256GB of storage and can be...

Apple just can’t seem to catch a break when it comes to Siri privacy concerns. Fresh off agreeing to a substantial $95 million settlement in the U.S., the tech giant now faces criminal charges in France over similar allegations. France’s human rights organization has filed a complaint with Paris prosecutors, claiming Apple’s voice assistant violated European privacy laws through unauthorized data collection.

Looking at Apple's recent AI struggles, it's hard to ignore what feels like a slow-motion corporate crisis unfolding in Cupertino. The departure of Robby Walker, according to 36kr, is not just another executive shuffling, it is the latest symptom of deeper organizational problems that have been festering since Tim Cook made what seemed like a brilliant hire in 2018. To see why Walker's exit matters, rewind to that pivotal moment when Apple pinned its hopes on John Giannandrea, then learned that...

American Express just rolled out what might be the most talked-about app update of 2025, and honestly, the conversation is pretty fascinating. Starting September 18, users can download the latest version of their mobile app featuring the ability to choose between light mode and dark mode. You might be thinking, "that's it?" Here's where it gets interesting. This seemingly simple feature arrives as the Amex Platinum Card's annual fee jumps to $895, which makes some people wonder if they're...

The European Union did not flinch. Faced with Apple's latest challenge, officials said there is "absolutely no intention" of backing down from the Digital Markets Act. The standoff is a hinge moment in the fight between Big Tech and European regulators, and the ripple effects go well beyond Apple's walled garden.

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. Meanwhile, the AirPods Max holds steady at $549 with a premium over-ear experience and 20-hour battery life. So which deserves your money?

The tech world just witnessed one of those moments that makes you pause and think about how quickly digital freedoms can vanish. Apple has removed ICEBlock and other apps that allow users to anonymously report sightings of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from its App Store. Now you might be wondering why this matters. It is not every day that a simple app removal sends ripples through the tech community and sparks questions about who really controls what we can use.

Just days after the iPhone 17 Pro hit shelves, a familiar tech-world pattern shows up. Brand-new phones, fresh out of the box, already sporting scratches and scuffs. Normally, the internet gave it a name: Scratchgate.

When two tech titans start talking money, the industry perks up. Intel has approached Apple about a potential investment as part of its comeback strategy, a twist in a long, complicated relationship. The talks land as Intel is partially owned by the U.S. government and scrambling to regain footing in semiconductors. When the news hit, Intel's stock jumped 6% and Apple's dipped 1%. Both companies kept quiet. Of course they did.

Apple's latest flagship has just gone under the knife, and what iFixit found inside is a fascinating mix of engineering brilliance and design compromises. The teardown video, nearly 11 minutes long, starts with two Torx screws at the bottom and quickly gets interesting. A new cooling system. A camera plateau that scratches too easily. Plenty to chew on.

Ever been stuck with a dying iPhone battery when you need your phone most? Picture this: you are halfway through a cross-country flight, your iPhone’s battery icon is flashing red, and you have three hours of travel left. That used to mean scrambling for cables and wall outlets. Not anymore. MagSafe technology has changed the game entirely. WIRED confirms that MagSafe is integrated into iPhone 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 models, using a ring of magnets that lets you attach wireless charging...

The European Union just fired its biggest regulatory salvo yet at Big Tech's handling of online financial fraud, and Apple finds itself right in the crosshairs. The timing is hard to ignore. Just as regulators forced Apple to support third-party app marketplaces in Europe, they are asking whether the company is doing enough to stop scams across its ecosystem. This is not another routine skirmish, it is a direct test of how Apple balances security, control, and compliance in a messy, real-world...

The iPhone 17 series is off to a genuinely impressive start. The numbers coming in are telling a story that even surprised Apple's own internal forecasts. Since its September 19 launch, the new lineup has been defying skeptics who wondered if incremental upgrades could spark real excitement. Here is the twist, this is not following the typical iPhone launch playbook.

Looking at Apple's 2025 roadmap, one thing becomes crystal clear: this is not just another product update cycle. We are watching one of the most significant strategic pivots in the company's history, and the implications reach far beyond flashy new gadgets.

The second-generation Apple Watch SE has hit another record-breaking price point, and this time it is happening just ahead of Amazon's Prime Day. CNET reports that the GPS-only 40mm model has dropped to $179, down from its original $249 price tag. Meanwhile, the 40mm GPS + Cellular version is available for $189, and 44mm models start at $199. One of the biggest discounts yet on Apple's budget-friendly smartwatch. If you have been eyeing an Apple Watch without torching your budget, this is it.

Apple's announcement that Tap to Pay on iPhone is now available in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Monaco, and Norway is not just another feature drop. It is a strategic move that shows how regulatory pressure, technological innovation, and market demand are reshaping Europe’s payments scene. Apple announced on 2025-09-23 that the contactless solution turns any iPhone into a payment terminal, no extra hardware required beyond a partner-enabled iOS app. The timing matters, coming after Apple's 2024...

The racing world has always been about speed, danger, and putting viewers right in the heart of the action, but nothing quite prepared me for what CANAL+ just delivered. Tour De Force is not just another sports documentary. It is the first third-party Apple Immersive Video production to hit Vision Pro, and it is absolutely wild.

Apple's entry into the foldable phone market has been one of the tech world's most anticipated developments, and recent reports suggest we might finally get our first glimpse next fall. The foldable iPhone is reported to be underway in Cupertino with Apple's manufacturing partners overseas, a significant shift in the company's smartphone strategy. This timing is not coincidental. Apple's newfound focus on ultra-thin engineering creates the foundation for tackling foldable challenges.
