For about as long as anyone can remember, people have been trying to use the impressive power and always-in-your-pocket traits of iPhones to play games for old consoles like GameBoy. Emulating the functions of the chips in old consoles is perfectly legal, but distributing the games themselves (usually called “ROMs”) is often not as they are protected by copyright.

Apple has never allowed these apps in the App Store, though. So those making retro console emulators... Читать дальше...

Expert's Rating

Cons

• Pricing heavily weighted toward two-year plans

Our Verdict

NordVPN is a fully featured VPN option that’s secure, easy to use, and unbelievably fast compared to its competitors. Our only concern is its pricing structure, and while two-year contracts aren’t the worst thing in the world, there’s potential for it to rise after that time. Читать дальше...

Apple fans may be excited about the idea of an Apple robot following every step you take in your home. However, it seems like a pie in the sky and there’s another idea that is a lot more realistic.

The next version of the Mac operating system, macOS 15, is expected to make its debut at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference, which kicks off with a keynote on June 10. After a beta period, the official release occurs in the fall.

Rumors of what macOS 15 will entail are scarce as usual–because software development doesn’t rely on third-party production and manufacturing like hardware does, rumors about macOS don’t happen often. But when rumors do leak, they will be tracked in this article. Читать дальше...

More than two years after Apple launched the 3rd-gen iPhone SE at the “Peek Performance” event, we were starting to give up hope that a new model was ever going to arrive. But some recent rumors piqued our interest, while the latest leak has our full attention.

According to a Weibo account (via LIANDR on X), the iPhone SE 4 will arrive in the first quarter of 2025, matching the timing of the iPhone SE 2 (April 2020) and iPhone SE 3 (March 2022). However, while we’ll... Читать дальше...

A recent report that Apple has a skunkworks team doing research on robotics has sort of set the internet on fire. But the context here really matters; the report is probably true (Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman is the gold standard of Apple leaks and scuttlebutt) but that doesn’t mean you’re going to be swiping your credit card to take home an Apple Bot anytime soon. Maybe never.

I know this is the Internet in 2024 and that means we all just read a headline, maybe even look at an image... Читать дальше...
