The fall Prime Day Apple are seriously kicking off early today folks. We have AirPods Pro 3 at one of the lowest prices ever and AirPods Max 2 at $120 off joined by all-time low pricing on the M6 Mac mini lineup at up to $150 off and loads of M5 MacBook Air models at $200 off. On top of that, we are now tracking the first solid discounts on Apple Watch Series 12 models and Apple Watch Ultra 4 at up to nearly $100 off alongside all-time lows on a collection of Apple’s new iPhone 18 Pro/Max cases, rare discounts on Magic Mouse, and the first deal on Apple’s brand new Magic Keyboard. Scope it all out below. more…
New Apple products are reportedly launching on October 13, including an updated Apple TV 4K. Here are the two major upgrades rumored for the new Apple TV. more…
I’m in the middle of testing Dell’s 32-inch UltraSharp U3226Q, and my thoughts so far are extremely positive. The picture quality of this OLED panel is impressive, especially when HDR is enabled in macOS. I’ll have a full hands-on review of the UltraSharp on our YouTube channel. Meanwhile, I wanted to note a key improvement Apple introduced in macOS 27 regarding HDR support. A drawback of using an HDR-ready third-party monitor on macOS 26 Tahoe was the inability to activate High Dynamic Range at the common 2560 x 1440 scaled resolution. Fortunately, the newest macOS release resolves this problem. more…
Apple is expected to launch several new products next week on October 13, and per Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the product unveilings will happen at “an event.” Here’s what he said. more…
We’ve seen a number of examples of why giving Meta’s Muse app full disk access to your Mac is a very bad idea, and yet another major privacy issue has recently been discovered. It’s now been found that Muse analyzes your communication with everyone in your life on an hourly basis. Apple is rightly concerned about the development, and in a blog post says that it will be introducing additional controls around the Full Disk Access feature that’s been enabling the problems … more…
Apple CEO John Ternus, as well as former CEO Tim Cook, have shared posts in remembrance of Steve Jobs today on the 15th anniversary of his passing. Here’s what they said. more…
Today marks 15 years since Steve Jobs passed away after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. Every year, memories come flooding back, and this one is no different. When I was contemplating what I wanted to say about Steve today, it occurred to me that much of what I or anyone has ever wanted to say about him has already been said. more…
A new documentary available on Apple TV, All of Us, tells the story of a public elementary school that has taken a unique approach to how education works for students with very different needs. Both iPhones and iPads play a key role in enabling what has been described as a powerful example of how inclusive education can work for every child … more…
Just after catching AirPods Pro 3 dropping to one of the lowest prices to date, the fall Prime Day deals are starting to flood in on the latest Mac releases. We have new all-time low pricing on M6 Mac mini releases at up to nearly $150 off, and a near-$200 price drop on the 2026 Mac Studio. Those deals also join solid $200 price drops across just about all M5 MacBook Air models, an ongoing M5 Pro MacBook Pro offer at $500 off, the first deal on Apple’s new minimalist all-glyph Magic Keyboard, and rare Magic Mouse price drops too. more…
One of the most famous and successful partnerships in the history of technology has been that of Steve Jobs and Jony Ive. When Tim Cook took over as CEO, he did not play the same role in working with Ive on hardware design – and that was the right decision. John Ternus is apparently taking a much more Steve-like approach to working with Apple’s design lab, and I think that too is the right call … more…
The unique form factor of the iPhone Duo led Apple to adapt iOS 27 in a number of ways to take full advantage of the upcoming new phone. This includes the iPhone dock sitting on the right-hand side of the outer display instead of at the bottom of the screen. Developer pdfu has now spotted another iPhone Duo-specific feature offering a more convenient way to toggle Focus modes … more…
Since the unveiling of iPhone Duo, the idea of all major interface navigation elements being accessible from your thumb has been really interesting. Apple re-invented the idea of smartphone navigation with the outer display on iPhone Duo, and now it feels quite wrong that every smartphone puts things at the top. more…
AirPods are one of Apple’s most interesting products. The demand for them was largely invented by the fact that the company removed the headphone jack 10 years ago, and now most of us carry this almost magical pair of earbuds that do so much more than just play audio. AirPods offer best-in-class noise cancellation, and also serve as a hearing aid. They get better and better almost every year. Despite everything that AirPods do so well, I have one annoyance with them, and it’s particularly annoying because it could be such an easy software fix. more…
Update 10/4: Amazon just dropped AirPods Pro 3 down to $179, delivering one of the lowest prices ever. Amazon is also now delivering almost all M5 MacBook Air models at $200 off the list price.

We’re also tracking the first discount on the latest refresh of Apple’s Magic Keyboard, down to $79.99 shipped. Over at Best Buy, Powerbeats Pro 2 have dropped to match their all-time low at $179.99. While we are still awaiting some of the big fall Prime Day deals on some Apple products, there are already notable discounts up for grabs right now like the $500 price drop on this 2TB M5 Pro MacBook Pro, the new Beats 360 with 80% off the Cushion Kits, and Amazon low pricing on AirTag 2. We are also already tracking the official fall Prime Day price drops on some of our favorite HomeKit smart home brands like ecobee and a sizable collection of Eve smart plugs, outlets, switches and more, not to mention new all-time lows on many of the latest Belkin 25W MagSafe charging stations. Just be sure to check out the popular new Twelve South Airfly Drive wireless CarPlay adapter at $40 on your way down. more…
Since Jony Ive’s departure from Apple in 2019, the company hasn’t had much of a true design lead. For a while, former COO Jeff Williams was in charge of design, until his departure last year. Since then, CEO John Ternus has taken a significant interest in both of Apple’s design teams: industrial design and human interface, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. more…
Apple’s major MacBook Pro overhaul is just around the corner, and should debut within a month or so. It’ll be the first touchscreen MacBook, as well as the first with Tandem OLED. Beyond that, though, the new MacBooks should be ‘significantly’ lighter than their predecessors, according to the latest issue of the Power On newsletter. more…

I’m someone who doesn’t often upgrade my Apple Watch right when a new one comes out. The Apple Watch Series 10 I owned prior was only purchased this January, despite initially coming out in September 2024. That said, Apple Watch Series 12 was a highly compelling purchase, despite the fact that the two largely share the same design language. Here’s why I took the leap. more…
Apple’s current iPad, the A16 model, has gone untouched for well over a year. It remains the only device in Apple’s core product lineup without support for Apple Intelligence.

The Home app is a great place to configure your smart home, but it can be slow to control. The tab structure and room hierarchy make sense when you’re setting things up, but they add steps to everything you want to do fifty times a day. Home Widget builds the control panel that Apple didn’t. more…

Alongside using the iPhone 18 Pro, I’ve also been carrying out a little experiment as we await the launch of the iPhone Duo. To get a sense of what it might be like to use the large screen of the upcoming device, I’ve been using my iPad mini as a substitute phone some of the time. Given that the screen is a similar size and shape, I’m hoping that it gives me something of a preview of the experience … more…
