One of our favorite new features of the iPhone 15 is the ability to limit charging to just 80 percent. For years now, some Apple products have had an optimized battery charging feature that takes into account your typical daily charging and usage routine and will only charge your iPhone or Mac up to 80% when it has determined you’re unlikely to need more.

But the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro introduce a third option: force charging to stop at 80 percent. It’s a great option... Читать дальше...

The iPad Pro starts shipping to the public on Wednesday. If you’re looking to buy one, you’ll need to figure out a few things. Such as the size you want, how much storage you need, which chip you need, and whether should you get the glossy standard glass, or pay the extra $100 for the matte Nano-texture glass.

If you can’t decide, Apple has an incentive for you to go with the Nano-texture glass: it comes with a polishing cloth, as discovered by @NikiasMolina.

After unveiling the new iPad Air and iPad Pro lines, cutting the 9th-gen iPad, and dropping the price of the 10th-gen iPad, inquiring minds want to know when Apple is going to give the iPad mini its overdue refresh. Unfortunately, it might be a while.

According to Mark Bloomberg’s latest Power On newsletter, the iPad mini won’t be updated “until the end of this year at the earliest.”

The iPad mini has had something of a sporadic update schedule since its 2012 debut. Читать дальше...

When did being able to read the room become a lost art?

The arc of backlash to Apple’s “Crush” ad was wild to observe. The Macalope’s first reaction to it was thinking it missed the mark as a metaphor. Destroying the creative arts to make an iPad was not the right way to get across the creative things you can do with an iPad, and many other, better metaphors could have been used. But he certainly didn’t think it’d be met with the staunch opposition it has, an opposition... Читать дальше...

The AI race is in full swing, and OpenAI just fired its latest salvo with its “Spring Update” announcements. The most significant new part is a new model, ChatGPT-4o (the “o” stands for “omni”), which is faster and smarter with better multi-model capabilities, and importantly, available to all users, not just those who subscribe.

In addition, there are new tools for developers, a new GPT Store to more easily find customized GPTs, and crucially, a new Mac app (a Windows app will come later this year). Читать дальше...
