Much like Apple Watches, extra Apple Watch bands can be rather pricey, so whenever one snaps, replacing it can burn your pocket for $50. Thankfully, we found a fantastic model on clearance at Walmart that’s just $14, good for $35 off the original MSRP and a great chance to grab an official Apple Watch for less than some third-party options. 

The discounted model is the 40mm/44mm Black Unity Sports Band. This special edition watch band was created to celebrate Black... Читать дальше...

Apple on Wednesday announced several new accessibility features that are coming to the iPhone and iPad. The company said the features are “coming later this year,” which likely indicates that they are part of iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, which are expected to be previewed at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference keynote on June 10.

“Each year, we break new ground when it comes to accessibility,” said Sarah Herrlinger, Apple’s senior director of Global Accessibility Policy and Initiatives, in a press release. Читать дальше...

The new M2 iPad Air has just hit shelves this week, but direct from the desk of Captain Obvious comes a new report about the next model. Brace yourself, because the next iPad Air, which will likely arrive at some point in 2025, will reportedly have an M3 processor.

The shocking report, posted on X by a private account with “a proven track record of sharing accurate information about Apple’s plans,” according to Macrumors, didn’t offer any other details about the update... Читать дальше...

Apple’s pencils are undeniably excellent, but they come with a hefty price tag. If you’re someone who often misplaces their stylus or simply can’t justify spending over $79 on a tablet pen, the Jamjake stylus is a wallet-friendly alternative currently priced at just $20 on Amazon, a 33 percent discount from its regular price and it’s a steal for those looking to save. 

Let’s start with the basics. The Jamjake stylus is designed to work seamlessly with a wide range of iPad models. Читать дальше...

With sales of the new M4 iPad Pro beginning this week, accompanied by the first wave of reviews, Apple faces a badly timed bombshell: a screen glitch has been spotted.

The Apple-focused news site iMore made the discovery while testing the 13-inch model, and reported it on Monday. It’s a niche issue that some users may not ever notice, but with the OLED screen central to marketing efforts for a device that starts at $1,299/£1,299, any “blemish in the beauty,” as iMore puts it, is troubling.

Apple last updated the Mac Pro in 2023 when it was the last Mac to be outfitted with an M-series chip–three years after Apple started to use its own silicon in Macs. The Mac Pro may be on a longer update cycle than the other Macs because it’s an expensive machine with features that address the needs of a niche audience.

But if you’re part of that audience, you’ll want to know when the next model will arrive, so we’ll be tracking the news and rumors about the Mac Pro. Читать дальше...

The consensus about the new iPad Pro is in: the hardware is more powerful and impressive than ever, but it’s still largely hampered by software that just hasn’t managed to keep up.

Such has been the story of the iPad Pro almost since its inception almost nine years ago, and despite moves that would seem to augur good things for the platform—like forking iPadOS off from iOS—Apple hasn’t exactly done a bang-up job of assuaging users about its commitment to making the tablet a full-fledged citizen of its lineup.
