Because of the changes, "risks to users on our devices will inevitably increase," Apple Vice President Kyle Andeer says in a letter Thursday to the European Commission, the EU's executive body. It's the latest complaint from an American company about alleged overreach from the EU's powerful digital laws. The tensions have factored into U.S. trade negotiations. President Trump in August threatened higher tariffs on countries with tech rules he believes are discriminatory to U.S. companies.

How Nomad Stratos Band differs from the rest I love sport bands for their comfortable fit, but find myself gravitating back to metal bands for their look. Over the years, I have tried multiple other straps, bracelets, and bands for my Apple Watch SE, Series 8, Series 10, and now Series 11. I wasn't actively looking for a new band, but I didn't know I needed the Nomad Stratos Band until I used it.

After releasing the stable iOS 26.1 and iPadOS 26.1 updates for the public, Apple has now seeded new iOS 26.2 and iPadOS 26.2 betas to developers. The iOS 26.2 and iPadOS 26.2 beta 1 updates are available for registered developers on compatible iPhone and iPad models. Developers will need to head to the Settings app to download and install the betas.

Visually, the iPad Pro is sleek and appealing. It features a thin, unassuming build that makes it almost unsettling when you consider how much power is packed into something so light -- especially when testing the 11-inch variant. Apple also offers the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, in case you require the extra screen real estate, but the 11-inch size is just right for everything I need on a tablet.

Coherent ( Nasdaq: COHR) reports fiscal first-quarter 2026 results after the close.

Last quarter, Coherent reported normalized EPS of $1.00, beating consensus by 8.7%, on revenue of $1.53 billion, up 16% year-over-year.

This summer, rumors surfaced that Apple was developing a lightweight MacBook running on iPhone hardware. Notable Apple insider Ming-Chi Kuo supported the rumors in a post on X in July, claiming the company was currently working on a "more-affordable MacBook" running on the A18 Pro chipset -- the same one found in the iPhone 16 Pro -- instead of an M-series processor.

The background nature of these security patches is good for most of us most of the time, though some users and certainly some MacOps professionals will want to disable the feature. There are, after all, many enterprises that need to test and approve software patches before they can be installed across their device fleets. Admins need to ensure their MDM systems can accurately parse data on which updates have been installed across their fleets;

Apple Watch users can now read and respond to messages using WhatsApp on their watch, much as they can with Messages. Also: I've tested every Apple Watch model in 2025 - here's why now is the best time to buy the Ultra WhatsApp, an end-to-end encrypted messaging app, is one of the most used messaging apps in the world, with over 3 billion active monthly users, according to recent data.

Currently, the 11-inch WiFi Apple iPad with the superfast A16 chip ans 128GB storage is sitting at $299 on Amazon, which is 14% off its regular $349 price. Even better, all color options are discounted, so whether you're looking for a basic silver or want something with a pop of color, you've got options. The only catch? There's no telling how long the discount or the stock will last, so we recommend acting fast if you want to lock it in.

The AirPods Max dropped in 2020, that's 5 years ago, making it one of the oldest products to not see a single design iteration in a significant time. Yes, sure, Apple upgraded its Lightning-powered models to USB-C recently, and gave the AirPods Max some fresh new colors, but other than that, there's been absolutely no change to the product in half a decade.

Your AirPods can be your best friend, small enough to stay in your pocket or bag until you need them. But if you like to work out with your AirPods, pushing your slippery earbuds back into your ear can become a particularly intense workout. I've found three products to help with this problem -- a few dollars spent can revitalize your AirPods experience.

Apple continues to be one of the big beneficiaries of the Windows 10 support shut down, with research from Counterpoint, IDC, Gartner, and others confirming Mac sales are increasing faster than the rate of PC industry growth. It means the switch is on. Take the evidence, just in the last few weeks: Counterpoint confirmed a 14.9% increase in Mac sales in Q3 2025, against an industry average of 8.1%.

The four apps that are supposedly coming to an iPad near you are at the moment only available on macOS. Apple acquired professional image editing app Pixelmator Pro this year, while MainStage is a Logic Pro companion app for live performances, Compressor is a Final Cut Pro companion app for compressing audio and video files, and Motion is a Final Cut Pro companion app for creating 2D/3D titles, transitions, and effects.

But once you cross the line, it's hard to stop. First, it's local cafés; then, it's gas stations; then maybe "fastest route sponsored by Shell." You laugh now, but you know how this works. The tension here is classic Apple. The company that sells privacy as a product is now selling ads in one of its most personal apps. It's the kind of contradiction Steve Jobs would have hated, but Tim Cook's Apple has different goals.

The iPhone 17 Pro features a 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR display for better color accuracy, detailing, and contrast while viewing photos or streaming video. It also supports Dolby Vision HDR for enhanced picture quality. The phone body itself is made of a single piece of aluminum and coated in a scratch-resistant ceramic to protect the delicate electronics inside. The version T-Mobile is offering for free as part of the deal sports 256GB of internal storage, but there are options available, all the way up to 2TB.

Apple Maps may soon feature advertisements, marking a significant shift in the app's user experience. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is preparing to roll out sponsored listings as early as next year, allowing physical businesses like restaurants and retail stores to pay for placement in search results. In an effort to stand out from rivals, Apple is expected to leverage artificial intelligence to deliver more relevant ad placements.

What we use our Apple Watches for, moving to a new HomeKit home, the tech we use while cooking, and a new humanoid robot for the home.

The A18 Pro chip is the same processor that powers the iPhone 16 Pro, and Apple claims it delivers performance comparable to the M1 MacBook Air. That's a legitimately capable chip for everyday computing tasks like web browsing, document editing, video streaming, and light photo work. You're looking at a 12.9-inch display housed in what's described as an ultra-thin, lightweight frame, with color options including silver, blue, pink, and yellow.
