AppZapper is one of the first Mac apps I bought when I switched from PC to Mac in 2009. Coming from Windows, OS X lacked an obvious solution for thoroughly uninstalling software.
The answer, of course, is dragging an app from the Applications folder to the Trash. But what about all the extra cruft that apps leave behind? AppZapper handled it.
This week, the app returned from a long hiatus to introduce a brand-new version of “the uninstaller Apple forgot” with AppZapper 3000.

Two new Apple Watch features may see the device running up against privacy laws in multiple US states. That’s because the new Live Rewind and Siri Recap features audio-record conversations.

CNET has a series of pieces comparing the iPhone Duo to three current Android foldables. While it’s a little frustrating to tackle the comparisons separately, it seems clear that the site views Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 as the device the Duo needs to beat.
That’s in large part because the two devices share similar passport-style aspect ratios rather than the tall and thin design of other foldables, and are priced only $100 apart …

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has made an interesting prediction in his latest newsletter, suggesting that the iPhone Duo is just the start and that most iPhones will be foldable within a decade.

Amid all the craziness of this iPhone launch week, one of my favorite brands has released its brand-new retro-style dock for the Mac mini and the Mac Studio. Last year, they released their Retro Dock for the M4 Mac mini, and it was the perfect combination of functionality, form, and nostalgia that I had never seen before. It added a ton of ports, an NVMe storage slot, a 5-inch display, all wrapped up in a housing that looked like the original Macintosh from 1984. The new Wokyis G5 & G7 takes it to a whole other level. They’ve added even more pro-level ports, a larger display, usable tactile buttons, while still keeping that retro style look and feel, and they’ve expanded it to both the Mac mini and the Mac Studio. Here is what you need to know.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has today corroborated references discovered in macOS beta code that indicated Apple is designing its own game controllers for iPhone.
Apple already sells some controllers like the Backbone One (pictured above) and SteelSeries Nimbus+ through the Apple Store, and now it wants to take a slice of the iPhone gamepad market for itself.

Since iOS 5 in 2011, the iPhone and iPad have included Notification Center, a central place to find alerts from various apps in chronological order.
Starting with iOS 27, Apple is making a major change to how users open Notification Center on iPhone and iPad.
iOS 27 is out September 14 after a summer of beta releases. The behavior has changed slightly between the first two releases. However, several developer beta releases later show this change is shipping — even if I’d change it.

Apple’s new iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max lineup went up for pre-order today, ahead of the September 18 launch day.

Blogger Nicolas Lellouche went digging in the iPhone Duo settings during his hands on time with the device. He found a curious new option in the display settings called ‘Shift Left Edge’.
When enabled, this setting adds a bit of a black border to the left side, essentially adding fake bezel on the outside screen, pushing content away from the folding edge.

For my entire IT career, software updates have operated on a predictable schedule. IT administrators have been conditioned to build workflows around quarterly point releases or monthly patching cycles (Patch Tuesday). However, as AI tools become very proficient at automatically discovering software vulnerabilities, threat actors are moving faster than ever before. With that being said, I very much miss 18th-month macOS/OS X releases.
We are rapidly entering an era in which software updates will look less like traditional operating system updates and more like continuous cloud updates. To survive this shift, IT teams must understand the three prongs of modern patch management.

The variable aperture lens of the shiny new iPhone 18 Pro goes almost one stop wider than the fixed aperture lens in its predecessor: up from f/1.78 in the iPhone 17 Pro to f/1.48 (a smaller number is wider).
In principle, this will allow for slightly shallower depth of field, enabling greater separation between your subject and the background – although it’s a relatively small difference. But there are four ways to achieve shallow depth of field (DOF) with much older iPhones …

I had been a loyal T-Mobile customer since 2016, when the company introduced its T-Mobile ONE plan. I had a military discount the entire time I was with them, but even with that discount my bill eventually ballooned to $113 a month thanks to T-Mobile’s price hikes. I decided enough was enough, so I started looking for a cheaper alternative. Plus, with Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro costing at least $100 more this year, I thought cutting my cell phone bill might help soften the blow if I upgraded to a new device. And so, I sought out an MVNO.
