Cody’s history with smartphones goes almost as far back as he does. As the son of a Nokia employee, he was exposed early on to handsets like the N91 and the Communicator. He has since been involved in nearly every aspect of the mobile phone industry. While going to college, he worked at a Nokia factory, building handsets, and later moved on to a sales position at a major wireless carrier.
Alongside the laundry list of its other releases and announcements today, Apple has pushed out an update for its Shortcuts app. The move brings the app to version 2.1, and brings about a handful of improvements including new actions for the Weather, Clock and Photos apps.
Apple this morning announced the long-awaited update to the MacBook Air. It has just about everything users have been asking for—a Retina display, upgraded internals and a smaller footprint—but it all comes at a price. The new Air starts $1,199. The good news, though, is that it looks like Apple has decided to keep the previous-gen MacBook Air around at $999.
Apple unveiled a slew of new products during its event at the Brooklyn Academy of Music this morning. There's a new MacBook Air, with Retina display, a new Mac mini for the first time in several years, and of course the powerful new iPad Pro. A replay of the event is available for those that missed it, but if you just want the highlights, these promo videos should do the trick.
Apple on Tuesday announced two new iPad Pro models (11-inch and 12.9-inch) that are packed with new features and improvements. One thing they don't have, however, is a headphone jack. That's right, just as it has done with its smartphones, Apple has removed the 3.5mm port from its Pro tablet line.
As expected, Apple has announced an update for its iPad Pro this morning at its New York-based event. The new features include an edge-to-edge 'Liquid Retina' display (similar to the iPhone XR), Face ID, and an all-new A12X Bionic CPU, which Apple says is faster than 92% of all portable PCs.
Apple has announced that the new MacBook Air will be available for order today, with shipping beginning on November 7. And the price? The refreshed laptop starts at $1,199.

If you're looking for a new case to go with your new iPhone XR, consider a wallet case.

Here are, what we believe to be, the best wallet cases for iPhone XR.
If you're planning on picking up Apple's new iPhone XR, you probably want to strongly consider a case as well.

With this in mind, we've put together a roundup of the best iPhone XR cases available right now, with options for all tastes and budgets.
Last month I upgraded to the new iPhone XS Max using Apple's Upgrade Program. It was my first time upgrading this way, and although it went fairly smoothly, there were a few things I picked up that I felt were worth passing along to folks looking to use the Program to pick up the iPhone XR that goes up for pre-order later this week.
