Apple has new AirPods launching later this year that we’ve been referring to as a high-end AirPods Pro model , but recent reporting now makes it seem more likely that they’ll be the first ‘AirPods Ultra.’

A new report says Apple paid more than $1.2 million in one year to privately hire police to protect three of its San Francisco retail stores. The payment was said to have been made through a private security company.

San Francisco allows private companies to pay police officers to protect their shops and offices, and the report says that many tech companies take advantage of this …

We believed, and now it’s finally happening: Ted Lasso returns for season 4 this summer, and Apple TV just the release date and debuted its first trailer.

Thunderbolt 5 debuted in September 2023. It was introduced as the new Thunderbolt standard that would slowly begin to replace Thunderbolt 4. It entered the scene, and we saw a big jump forward in bandwidth, display support, and overall capability. But what I noticed is that it was relatively slow to roll out, and the products we saw that did implement Thunderbolt 5 only did that.

I would bet very heavily that the OpenAI smartphone will either never materialize or will be a commercial failure, but I still think the attempt is good news for iPhone users …

Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas doesn’t think AI presents a threat to iPhone; quite the reverse.

The white iPhone 4 release day is always a fun Apple anniversary for me to think about.

It comes one week before I bought my first iPhone (the iPhone 4 in white, of course) and 308 days after the black iPhone 4 arrived in stores.

Between the announcement and release, Apple spent six press releases covering the white iPhone 4:

The white iPhone 4 delay only made for one of a few major storylines associated with the hardware.

Adobe is rolling out updates to Photoshop and Lightroom today, with new AI-powered tools, workflow improvements, and performance upgrades across both apps. Here are the details.

After rolling out the Turntable feature in Illustrator last month , which allows creators to rotate 2D vectors in 3D space, Adobe is making a similar feature generally available in Photoshop as well.

With the new Rotate Object tool (which lives within the options of the Transform Image tool), users can rotate, tilt, and spin assets in 3

Former Apple design chief Jony Ive famously prioritized sleek aesthetics over almost everything else, and there was widespread agreement that he sometimes took this a little too far.

However, his long-term vision of the future of the iPhone as a single slab of glass has persisted beyond his tenure, and a new post does seem to present a persuasive view of what we might expect from a 20th Anniversary iPhone next year …

The ‘single slab of glass’ phrase obviously describes the sense of what the company is trying to
