With the iOS 26.5 update, Apple has added a new Pride Luminance wallpaper to your iPhone. The wallpaper features strips of colors that transition as you swipe up from the lock screen to the home screen. By default, the wallpaper uses a rich, vibrant color palette that celebrates the LGBTQ+ community.
But it’s actually super customizable, and it allows you to pick your own personal color palette for your iPhone’s lock screen. Here’s how to add the new colorful wallpaper and make it your own.

I have recently been reviewing high-powered, multifunctional desk chargers, and I think they are great for providing reliable power to your devices while keeping your space decluttered. Most of the chargers I have tested usually have a wattage cap of 140, like the Nomos charger, or 200W, like Anker’s charging station. But as we get more and more tech that constantly needs to be charged, getting something with higher wattage becomes essential, especially for power users. That is where CUKTECH’s new 30 Ultra Charging Station really stood out. It delivers up to 300W of output, features CUKTECH’s signature display, and offers something I have not seen in any other charger. Here is what you need to know.

Apple debuted iPhone 16e last year at its $599 price point – and it’s been an okay phone since. It got refreshed this year with an A19 chipset, more storage, and MagSafe, but for the most part, its positioning in the market hasn’t really changed. It’s an okay phone at an okay price.
It’s been selling decently, but it hasn’t really been a killer appeal to Android users in the same way that MacBook Neo has been for PC users. I think that could change.

Introduced in iOS 15, Hide My Email is an iCloud+ feature that does exactly what it says on the tin – you can create an alternative email address for each individual service you sign up for, and easily cut off said email whenever you’d like. It prevents advertisers from having your primary email address, and gives you better inbox control – a total win-win.
That said, despite being introduced 5 years ago, the feature hasn’t progressed as much as it realistically could have. Here are my suggestions for how Apple could improve Hide My Email.

Apple is preparing to roll out a ‘slight redesign’ for the next version of macOS, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The update will feature a refinement of the Liquid Glass design language, cleaning up some of the rough edges seen in the Tahoe user interface.

Apple Business and Apple School Manager are foundational to modern Apple device deployments. If you are deploying Macs, iPads, or iPhones in the enterprise, you spend a lot of time in these portals. The problem is that the web interface can be incredibly tedious when you are dealing with thousands of devices.

Smart buttons have become incredibly common in the Apple Home ecosystem, but finding one that checks every single box is still surprisingly challenging at times.

For the last 60 days, I have been wearing an Apple Watch Ultra 2 and the latest WHOOP MG. I wanted to better understand the hype surrounding WHOOP. If you spend enough time online, you can see that WHOOP users are loud and proud. It’s marketed as a serious wellness and fitness tracker that high-profile athletes and Silicon Valley tech founders wear. So, as someone who cares about their fitness, wellness, sleep, and overall health, I felt like I had to experience this for myself and, of course, compare it to the fitness tracker that I have been wearing for well over a decade: the Apple Watch. This is what I learned after 60 days.
