Wireless charging has come a long way, but cord clutter is still an inevitability, especially in high-traffic charging areas like a bedside table or a work-from-home setup. Thankfully, there are tons of options on the market to cut cords and let you truly maximize the wireless capabilities of gear like smartphones, smartwatches, and earbuds. And if you're an Apple user like me, you may be in need of a multi-charger that perfectly powers Apple's mobile trifecta: your iPhone, your Apple Watch, and your AirPods.

First, we got iPhones in Hermès orange, and now we might get them in Louboutin red. According to 's Mark Gurman, Apple is already mulling over what the next premium colorway will be for its iPhone Pro models. While we're not expecting iPhone 18 announcements until later this year, Gurman reported that "red is the new flagship color in testing for the next iPhone Pros."

Apple's satellite features were originally designed for emergencies, allowing iPhone users to contact emergency services when cellular and Wi-Fi coverage is unavailable. With recent versions of iOS, Apple has expanded those capabilities to include sending and receiving messages via satellite. This makes it possible to stay in touch with friends and family from remote locations where traditional networks do not reach, such as hiking trails, rural areas or offshore locations.

The six survivors used the iPhone's emergency SOS feature to help first responders find them as they waited under a tarp and discovered some of the bodies, according to the Nevada county sheriff. Apple's feature, introduced in 2022, allows users to text law enforcement, even if there's no cell service or wifi by connecting the phone to a satellite. First responders reached the skiers' location and learned of the six survivors based on conversations held through the feature,

There's no denying the usefulness of battery packs, especially those designed with MagSafe technology. They offer an endurance boost for your devices when you're on the go, in an emergency, or traveling abroad. But let me address the elephant in the room: they're often dull in appearance, uninspiring, and, dare I say, ugly. I'm talking, thick, brick-like, boxy battery packs in the same old boring colors (though a few brands have released some colored versions here and there) that look about as

A new "Playlist Playground" feature will let Apple Music subscribers generate playlists with text prompts, and native support for video podcasts is coming to the Podcasts app. The Creator Studio version of the Freeform drawing and collaboration app is also available in the 26.4 updates, allowing subscribers to access stock images from Apple's Content Hub and to insert AI-generated images.

In his last quarter as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway ( NYSE: BRK-B), Warren Buffett remixed his portfolio, as he always does.

Apple is taking on YouTube and Spotify with a new video podcast experience launching in the spring. Users will be able to switch between watching and listening to shows in the Apple Podcasts app, which will begin using the company's HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) video technology. Users can also switch to a horizontal version of the podcast and download videos to watch offline. The move comes as video podcasting continues to gain popularity. Edison Research recently revealed that 51% of the U.S. population has consumed a video podcast, and that 37% consume video podcasts monthly.

Perhaps one of the most requested features for Tesla vehicles by owners is the addition of Apple CarPlay. It sounds like the company wants to bring the popular UI to its cars, but there are a few bottlenecks preventing it from doing so. The biggest reason why CarPlay has not made its way to Teslas yet might shock you. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Tesla is still working on bringing CarPlay to its vehicles. There are two primary reasons why Tesla has not done it quite yet: App compatibility issues and, most importantly, there are incredibly low adoption rates of iOS 26.

Apple Inc. said on Monday it is holding a product launch on March 4, with the company preparing to announce several new devices in the coming weeks. The iPhone maker invited media to gatherings in New York, Shanghai and London, saying it is holding an in-person experience. The invitation implies a more low-key showcase than the typical launches held at the company's campus in Cupertino, California.

Apple ( NASDAQ: AAPL | AAPL Price Prediction) closed at $255.78 on February 13, down 7.95% from the previous week's $277.86. Yet Wall Street analysts still see the stock climbing to an average target of $292.15, implying 10% upside from current levels. That disconnect raises a question: is the market pricing in risks analysts are missing, or did the selloff create an entry point?

Apple is starting to test end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) RCS messages with the developer beta of iOS 26.4 released Monday. Apple announced plans last year to support the feature, and once fully available, it will let iPhone and Android users send encrypted RCS messages to each other across platforms. However, with this initial implementation, Apple is only testing RCS encryption between Apple devices.

Can they convince millions to shell out $2,299 for a foldable iPhone? Let's just take a second to piece the logic. $2,299 gets you TWO latest iPhone Pros and some duct tape to hold them together. You'd get two screens, two camera modules, two processors. Heck, for $2,299 you could almost buy three iPad minis, giving you three 8.3-inch displays with Apple Intelligence running on all of them.

Apple officially rolled out macOS 26.3 on Feb. 11, days after its beta went live. While their focus touched on security, bug fixes, and general optimization, reports from 9to5Mac suggest the update's core focus is much broader. The critical maintenance step improves the overall system, easing the future rollout of features such as the advanced M5 chip series, and potentially including changes required by the European Union for EU residents.

When Apple's headset first launched, YouTube opted for a web-based approach instead of developing a dedicated app, directing viewers to use Safari to access content. Until now, anyone wanting to watch YouTube on the headset has missed out on helpful features like offline downloads-making it much less useful for travel or offline viewing. To fill the gap, third-party options, such as Juno, briefly appeared on visionOS before being removed for violating YouTube's Terms of Service.
