If you cast your mind back to almost a year ago from today, Apple TV was about to launch a new series called The Savant starring Jessica Chastain … until it was pulled from the schedule at the last moment, in the wake of the assassination of political activist Charlie Kirk.

Apple never gave an exact reason for cancelling the release, but promised it would release the series at a later date …

Apple just released a new Mac mini late last month, equipped with the new M6 and M5 Pro chips. If you’re looking for a perfect Thunderbolt 5 dock to pair with your new Mac mini (or your current M4/M4 Pro model) – Satechi has a great offering for you.

iFixit has published its traditional teardown of the iPhone 18 Pro, which shows the variable aperture mechanism up close and explores a potential issue involving display repairs. Watch it below.

The new version of Siri, Siri AI, launched to the masses this month as part of iOS 27. The new Siri is rolling out gradually to users via a waitlist, and is labelled as a ‘beta’ indicating that Apple still has some work to do in follow-up releases.

The new Siri is much better at answering questions with access to rich knowledge, can search through your messages and notes for personal context queries, and can take action based on what is on your screen with onscreen awareness. However, the new Siri is not being welcomed with open arms by everyone …

Leading into the iPhone Duo launch, we heard from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman that Apple was considering a new Apple Pencil for iPhone Duo, though it was unlikely that the company would go forward with it. Of course, the iPhone Duo keynote came, and Apple did announce support for the USB-C Apple Pencil. Here’s how that happened.

iOS 27 is now available to everyone, and one of the big changes is that it makes your iPhone a lot faster. In fact, Apple has outlined more than 30 ways in which your iPhone will be faster after you update.

Well, this is odd. The handwashing timer feature is currently absent from the new Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 hardware.

With the new iPhone Duo, Apple is taking a little bit of a software gamble. All apps, in order to take advantage of the larger inner display of iPhone Duo, will need to be recompiled for iOS 27.0 at a minimum. To use the Duo’s unique new tab bar and other UI components, you’ll need iOS 27.1.

Of course, this means a lot of developers will have to rebuild to support the Duo. On the flip side, it also means Apple is taking a risk of many apps on iPhone Duo being stuck in black bars.

Earlier this year, I picked up a WHOOP for the very first time. As a longtime Apple Watch user I was looking forward to having a new way of tracking my health stats in a cleaner interface that the Apple Watch wasn’t offering. Now, with Apple Watch Series 12, I’m very convinced to switch back to the Apple Watch. Here’s why.

There was a post on X going viral a few weeks ago about password management. The password keeper book is more secure than most people want to admit. As the user said: Reminder that it is quite difficult to hack a piece of paper. Nobody is gonna zero day a book on a shelf in your house, and if they are somehow motivated enough to steal it, you have bigger things to worry about then your facebook password leaking…

With that being said, I still believe a properly implemented password management tool is one of the best security measures you can deploy in your organization. Dashlane is rolling out a new solution to help better secure credentials in the enterprise.

Firmware updates have been the weakest link for a decade with smart homes. Every sensor, light bulb, and smart lock in your house runs software that should be updated regularly. This is on top of even if they have software updates. Homey just announced a fix for a big piece of that, and the way it handles Matter devices is the part that Apple Home users should take note of.
