Apple officially released its HomePod smart speaker back in February, which means it has now spent over six months on the market and six months in the hands of consumers like myself. I was an undeniable HomePod skeptic at first, but over the last six months, it has become a reliable and integral part of my smart home setup. The early, not-so-honeymoon-like phase Usually when I buy a new Apple product, there’s an early period of time that’s like the honeymoon phase of a new relationship; the lust and aura of the newness outshines any flaws....

Of course, a smartphone is pretty common among them all. Currently, it’s in the pocket of every modern man....

Retina Display iPads are fully supported The iPad App Store is packed with many Twitter clients, but most of these clients offer a similar experience. A user interface with a timeline, a button to open up a tweet sheet, and several more advanced features like direct messaging, tweet quoting, translating and more. Crest ($1.99), however, throws the concept of a typical iOS Twitter client away and offers a brand new way to view your Twitter timeline....

Following the release of the Apple Watch Series 2, I wrote about my initial first impressions of the device. Essentially, I explained that the first-generation Apple Watch had never truly won me over. I often went through phases where I would wear it for a while, but then go weeks without even charging it. I noted, however, that the Series 2 model may have righted enough wrongs to keep it on my wrist…consistently....

It’s now seven years since Steve Jobs wrote his famous Thoughts on Flash open letter, in which he explained to Adobe the six reasons why Apple did not allow Flash on iOS devices. These reasons were, in brief: It’s a proprietary product, and Apple prefers open web standards [sometimes] An increasing number of websites are switching to better video formats Flash has poor security, reliability and performance Flash decreases battery life Flash was designed for desktop, not touch It’s an additional layer that holds back innovation Most of those reasons are just as valid today, security not least among them …...

I noted a few weeks ago that, given the ultra-low repairability of the new MacBook Pro, I was buying AppleCare for the first time. Pretty much anything going wrong with the machine – RAM, SSD, Touch Bar, even the power switch – is likely to require a whole new motherboard. And given that the screen is bonded into the lid of the case, we can also forget about repairing that....

I recently had the incredible experience of attending a SpaceX rocket launch at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA Social hosted the event that included close-up access to NASA’s massive Vehicle Assembly Building, the historic 39B launch pad, and an awesome view of a Falcon 9 rocket launch. Below are some of my favorite shots captured on the iPhone 11 Pro Max. Some of these required the new ultra-wide camera to fully capture the scene....

There is an astonishing sea change beginning I think in how we all interact. Now, I’m not pretending to be an expert in social psychology. But it is clear that despite all the glitches there is an unprecedented level of global cooperation going on. Usually, wars have two human sides. In this one, there is all humanity versus a virus. So, I’ll say it again: Unprecedented. I’m going to institute some regular features and some random things every week....

After the reports in May that Apple was looking to acquire a back catalog of content for Apple TV+, I started to consider why back catalogs are essential, and why the major technology companies have avoided live sports thus far. With streaming services, the total time spent watching the service is a big indicator of how likely someone is to continue paying for the service in the future. If a company adds to their back catalog, it gives someone more opportunity to find something to watch even if there isn’t a new show they want to watch....

With iPadOS 13, Apple introduced the ability for apps to have multiple instances. In other words, you can have multiple Safari windows open or multiple notes, for example. It’s an incredibly useful feature and it turned the iPad into a much more powerful computer. We think it would turn the iPhone into a much more powerful phone, too. Over a decade ago, Palm introduced the first version of webOS with support for multiple cards....
