iPhone

I recently shared my top ten list of Apple and non-Apple tech. This time I’m following up with some of my favorite third-party apps for iPhone and Mac.

In putting this piece together, I realized that I don’t often use apps for entertainment. On iPhone and Mac alike, the vast majority of my choices perform a useful function …

Apple announced plans to turn the iPhone into your driver’s license all the way back in 2021. So far, only a dozen U.S. states actually let you add your driver’s license or state ID to Apple Wallet. However, there are more states without Wallet support where your iPhone can still become your driver’s license.

A firm of analysts are predicting that Apple will skip the iPhone 19 name in favor of jumping directly to the iPhone 20 in 2027.

Omdia believes the company will do this in order to mark the 20th anniversary of the iPhone, but it just reinforces my view that it’s time for Apple to drop the numbers altogether …

Apple’s Always On Display has been fairly consistent since it debuted on iPhone 14 Pro. With iOS 26, Apple has quietly changed how it works in a way that may not be obvious.

If you’re trying to buy a new iPhone but don’t quite want an iPhone 17, it can often be hard to find something on a tighter budget. Sure, Apple offers the iPhone 16e at $599 – but not everyone finds that to be a compelling phone. Luckily, there’s plenty of great options if you want to buy used, and I’ll be delving into five great picks for varying needs.

iOS 26.1 is the first big update to Apple’s major operating system release, and as of today, the fourth developer beta version has arrived for testing. Apple has also released iOS 26.1 public beta 4 today.

Apple is lobbying for a change in the tax law in India as it potentially faces billions of dollars in taxes for new iPhone assembly equipment.

Some 25% of iPhones are now made in India, and the company is looking to push this percentage even higher, but there is a potential major barrier to further expansion …

Recently, Backbone launched new Pink and Purple editions of their Pro and One controllers, with a focus on design and casual gaming.

We hear occasional good news stories where somebody is able to use Find My iPhone to track a stolen device and successfully recover it, but a new record has been set when tracking a single iPhone led to a gang suspected of smuggling up to 40,000 stolen phones to China.

The iPhone was tracked to an airport warehouse where it was found in a box with 894 other phones, leading to the arrest of 18 suspects and more than 2,000 recovered phones …

They grow up so fast. Apple has added the iPhone 11 Pro Max and every model of the Apple Watch Series 3 to its vintage product list. Here’s what that means.

Apple Stores are taking two important steps to try and prevent scratches and marks on their display units.

With the iPhone 17 lineup, Apple has discontinued the Plus model in favor of the new iPhone Air. But how do these models compare to each other?

One of my favorite iPhone features is StandBy, which turns your iPhone into a smart display when it’s in landscape orientation and charging. One of the best ways to take full advantage of StandBy is with an upright wireless charger.

Head below for a closer look at some of my favorite MagSafe stands for iPhone, perfect for StandBy.

Apple’s next major iPhone software update is here: iOS 26 released today, but not every iPhone is compatible with the new software. Here are the iPhone models that do (and don’t) support iOS 26.

On Tuesday, Apple introduced the new iPhone 17, alongside the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air. Here’s everything that’s new with the iPhone 17!

As it usually does, Apple discontinued a few products to make room for everything it announced during Tuesday’s event. Here’s the full list of products that Apple dropped, following the ‘Awe Dropping’ presentation.

In 2020, Apple surprised a lot of people by re-entering a neglected segment of the smartphone market: small phones. With iPhone 12 mini, Apple did something fairly special, by squeezing all of the same technologies of the iPhone 12 into a 5.4-inch form factor. Unfortunately, it didn’t live for too long, but thanks to a recent lineup change, a new window might’ve opened for its resurgence.

Wireless charging and iPhones have had an interesting relationship. While Android phones had wireless charging extremely early, it took Apple years to adopt the regular Qi wireless charging with the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus back in 2017. Back then, it only charged at 7.5W, and it was not very efficient. Then Magsafe and the Qi2 standard recently came around and allowed iPhones to charge at 15W. But now we are getting Qi2.2, which is faster, cooler, and more efficient, and Kuxiu is the first to bring it to us. Here is what you should know about the new X40 Turbo and Qi2.2 charging.

Apple launches new flagship iPhones every year with a variety of upgrades. But after years of relatively stagnant innovation on the design front, the iPhone 17 launch will kick off several years of exciting new innovations that put an end to the recent ‘boring’ iPhone era.

Stop us if you’ve heard this one before. Apple is preparing a software update for an iPhone from 2020 to address a years-old health complaint only raised in one market.
