Apple doesn't make a habit of letting anyone get their hands on their new phones before release, except for a few reporters. That means many people are left making assumptions on the size of the new devices. So we decided it would be a good idea to make a few mock-ups for the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X that you could print out in real life. That way you can compare the sizes and see which suits you best.
Apple touted a few changes to heart rate tracking for Apple Watch during their September event. Some had expected these features to come solely to the new Apple Watch Series 3, but they actually come to everyone, courtesy of watchOS 4.
The iPhone 8 and the iPhone X are just on the horizon, which means ostensibly millions of people are going to be looking for cases for their new devices. Nomad has recently released five new cases that work not only on the iPhone 8 and X, but the iPhone 7 series as well.
The latest MacBook Pros fully embraced USB-C. Charging, displays, and other I/O are all connected through this universal port. In a profession that is quite storage-intensive, I've spent my fair share of time researching and testing hard drives. The Glyph Atom has become my latest favorite, and has so far been my drive of choice with my new MacBook Pro.
iOS 11 has been finally released to the public. We shared Apple's official release notes yesterday, but we've spent a little time of our own coming up with any changes and features not present in iOS 10.
There is an unbelievable amount of things to touch on, so we highly recommend watching our video to see it all in action.

iOS 11 isn’t due for release until September 19th, but new app updates that take advantage of the platform's new features have started to hit the App Store. So far, we’ve seen several updates that include Augmented Reality and Drag and Drop support.
Developers are always connecting their devices to their machines. It has been a necessary evil to install apps, perform diagnostics, screen recordings, and more. In Apple's purge of wires, Xcode 9 has unlocked the ability to connect tvOS, or iOS devices to your Mac wirelessly.
On the latest Apple TV 4K, Apple ditched the USB-C service port, which led many to speculate how one could install apps, connect to Xcode, take screenshots, and perform screen recordings. It seems Apple has forgone the wire, and instead adopted a wireless solution instead.
Alongside the new Apple Watch Series 3, Apple updated its whole range of watch bands with new fall colors, new Hermés options, and a whole new style. The Sports Loop is a lightweight, loop style band that is sweat-proof for intense workouts.
One place iPhone has seriously lagged behind Android is wireless charging, which Google's ecosystem has supported for years. It took until now for Apple's smartphone to receive wireless charging and the same can be said for a fast charge feature.
Apple announced a plethora of new products Tuesday, including the new Apple TV 4K. It brings several new features aside from 4K including HDR 10 & Dolby Vision support, updated Siri remote, live sports and news, among others.
