Tim Cook isn’t sick. He’s not going to another company. He’s just not going to be CEO any longer.

That’s the message from an all-hand meeting with Apple Staff, according to a report from Bloomberg.

According to the report, Cook said, “I’m excited to continue my journey at Apple as executive chairman…I am healthy. My energy is high, and I plan to be in this new role for a long time.”

Cook said he will be there as a sounding board or for advice as needed... Читать дальше...

Last year, we declared that we had switched from Apple’s boring white charging cables to a different make that were more reliable, longer, and available in a wider range of colors for the same price.

That brand was Apple’s own Beats, and almost a year to the day after Macworld’s cable conversion the company has a new set of colorful cables that are even longer and now rated to charge devices at a speed up to 240W.

The reinforced, tangle-free woven Beats... Читать дальше...

If you’re using an iPhone or iPad, you might assume Apple already has your privacy covered. While Apple’s iCloud Private Relay does add an extra layer of protection by hiding your IP address in Safari, it’s not a complete solution. Private Relay only works in Apple’s Safari browser and doesn’t encrypt all of your internet traffic – which means apps, other browsers and you online activities can be exposed.

That’s where a VPN (virtual private network) comes in. A good... Читать дальше...

There’s a running joke in the TV show “The Wire” about awkward police officers being asked disingenuously about the posting they would least like to be given, just so their vengeful bosses can be sure to send them there. (Detective McNulty gets sick on boats, for example, so he’s assigned to the marine unit.) I’m starting to wonder if Apple operates a similar system.

It was announced yesterday that Apple CEO Tim Cook will step down on September 1 after 28 years at the company, 15 of them in the top job. Читать дальше...

It’s only Tuesday morning but there’s already blockbuster news this week that will change the course of Apple events.

And that is that the third macOS Tahoe beta is available to developers.

Ha-ha! No, that’s not it. It’s that in the middle of writing this column that was going to be about the MacBook Neo, Apple announced that Tim Cook would be turning over the reins to John Ternus as of September 1st of this year, and now the Macalope has to somehow make... Читать дальше...

TL;DR: A $39.99 lifetime PDF tool that lets your Mac edit, sign, organize, and manage PDFs without extra apps.

PDFs have a sneaky way of looking simple—right up until you try to edit one. Edit text? Replace an image? Sign a document? Suddenly, your “simple file” turns into a whole situation.

That’s why PDF Reader Pro Premium was created—and for $39.99 for lifetime access, it’s kind of a no-brainer upgrade for Mac users.

This isn’t just a reader—it’s more like a full-on PDF command center. Читать дальше...

Cook will remain at Apple in an advisory role as executive chairman of Apple’s board of directors.

Up until now, the industry-wide RAM shortage has left Apple largely unaffected, thanks to its market clout and ironclad contracts with suppliers. But according to a new report, that period of immunity is about to end, with Mac fans facing bad news concerning two upcoming launches.

In the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman predicts that new Mac Studio models and the widely anticipated touchscreen MacBook Pro both face launch... Читать дальше...
