About a month ago, Macworld published an exclusive report detailing the upcoming color palette for the iPhone 18 Pro. As our source confirmed, Apple was planning to offer a new array of options this year, with a purplish “Dark Cherry” leading the pack and possibly four options joining the lineup, including light blue, dark gray, and silver.

I love my Apple Watch, and I know I’m not alone—the device dominates the wearables market and is easily the best smartwatch money can buy.
But that doesn’t mean it’s perfect, and there are plenty of ways that it can feel below par, even irritating at times. Few of those factors are more conspicuous than the way it can sometimes serve as a wrist-worn distraction tool. With the rise of screenless, silent trackers like the Whoop and 
Every year at WWDC, Apple kicks off a new cycle of operating system updates that will change the faces of the devices we use every day for the next year. On June 8, we’ll get our first glimpse at what the “27” operating systems will bring, which will lead to their arrival in the fall and numerous major updates all the way through next May, when the cycle will begin again.
I’ve been attending Apple’s WWDC since sometime in the 1990s, which is… a long time. But this year’s event promises to be one of the most interesting ones yet, mostly because in

AI is going to be the prevailing theme at WWDC26 on June 8, and a new report provides a sneak peek at the new AI-based Siri. But while Siri is certainly the star, the report also provides details on iOS 27’s new Camera app as well.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the Camera app is getting the Siri treatment and will replace the current Visual Intelligence implementation, which is currently a separate action triggere

Sometimes, you need to turn a piece of paper into a digital file. Maybe you need to include a receipt, registration, or other form of proof in an online form. Maybe you want to keep copies of your important documents in the cloud, so they’re always accessible and safe from being lost or destroyed. Such documents are often digitized as PDF files.
It used to be that you needed to use either dedicated hardware or a third-party app to take a photo of a document and convert it to PDF. That is no longer the case: Apple includes a very handy document scanner in the iPhone’s Notes and Files apps, and it does a

Every September, Apple convinces millions of people that their current iPhone suddenly feels old. There’s always a new camera feature, a faster chip, a longer battery life, or some AI-powered trick designed to create that familiar feeling: maybe it’s time to upgrade.
This year, I decided to test something. Rather than moving forward, I went backwards. I swapped my iPhone 17 Pro Max for an iPhone 13 Pro Max as my main phone. Not because I had to, but because I wanted to see how much I would actually miss. And the answer

When people think about Accessibility features on the iPhone, they usually imagine tools designed for a relatively small group of users with specific needs. But every now and then, Apple introduces something that has the potential to change the way everyone interacts with their devices.
That’s exactly what happened last week. As part of its annual Accessibility preview ahead of 
While these things generally move in the other direction, Apple has surprisingly raised the maximum amount of money it offers for trade-ins on a host of popular products.
When you trade in your old Apple product toward the purchase of a new one, you can now earn just a bit more money (assuming your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch is in good condition). Most of the maximum trade-in values have increased from $5 to $20, with a few outliers offering more, including MacBook Air and Mac mini.

Apple added the capability to add digital state IDs or driver’s licenses to Apple Wallet years ago, with the very first supporting states announced back in 2021.
It’s a standards-based approach (ISO 18013-5) that is meant to be more secure and private than physical identification, as well as finally closing one of the last loopholes th

When Apple released Creator Studio, a software bundle of its professional creative tools, it also redesigned each app’s icons. We’re not talking about a simple tweak here and a new color there; we’re talking about completely different symbols or artistic renditions that are so drastic that they do not instantly trigger a mental connection to the old icons.
However, Apple didn’t get rid of those old icons. Instead, it’s using the old icons to differentiate between the
