It's that time of year again, when gifts are received and given. Which means it's a busy stretch of time for companies like Apple and Google and Microsoft (and so many others), all hoping for some of (or a lot of) your money. And while Apple itself doesn't necessarily go out of its way to offer up the greatest deals during the holidays, there are plenty of resources out there to get a pretty worthwhile discount in time for the holidays.
If you have a pair of AirPods Pro, there's a good chance you bring them around with you on a regular basis. They're comfortable to wear and easily transportable, so that would make sense! So maybe you're in the market for a way to help protect that wireless charging case of yours.
The iPhone is a handy tool. It's powerful, long-lasting (mostly), and it can handle a lot of different tasks. It's pretty great! And while most iPhone users probably know the ins and outs of their handy smartphone, there might be a few tips and tricks you're not aware of.
One of the key, tentpole features for Apple across its services, operating systems, and products is user privacy. They shout about it from the rooftops when given the opportunity. And it's been like that for years. It's a lot of the reason so many people have adopted Apple's ecosystem into their lives. And yet, a new survey shows a lot of people out there still trust other companies more in this regard.
Apple has a lofty goal of transitioning its entire computer lineup to an Apple-made processor in the future. It is a timeline that has officially kicked off with several different machines, including the MacBook Air, the all-new MacBook Pro, and the redesigned 24-inch iMac, among others. But apparently Apple's not quite done with Intel just yet.
Normally, Apple TV+ has a pretty solid routine for promoting new content coming to the streaming platform. The initial announcement, which is followed by a teaser trailer some time later, and, finally, an official trailer that's usually at least a couple of minutes in length. This is all meant to drum up attention for the new series, film, or documentary making its debut on the platform.
During the annual Worldwide Developers Conference earlier this year, Apple unveiled some pretty big changes for the Wallet app. Namely, expanded support for keys, and, finally, the ability to store a digital version of your mobile identification and/or drivers license. The feature has kind of rolled out since then, but we're still waiting on the mobile ID support.
Apple and Ericsson are in a running dispute over pricing for patent licensing related to mobile telecommunications. Namely, the "critical" bits required to make it all work. Ericsson actually already sued Apple in the same court, as this licensing situation has been going on for years. And now Apple is firing back.
Last week, Apple seeded the first betas of iOS 15.3, iPadOS 15.3, watchOS 8.4, and tvOS 15.4 to developers. So of course the company needs to move forward with the public beta testing, too. And today Apple is doing just that.
With 2021 about ready to wrap up, the rumor mill will likely start ramping things up regarding future products and software releases. So of course we will start to hear more about iOS 16 and what that future update will bring to the table. Or, in this case, the devices it might not support.
One of the strongest attributes for Apple is its A-series processors. And now, maybe even more so, the M-series. Apple has galloped away from the competition in mobile and desktop because of these chips. There have been rumors that Apple is going to expand that effort in the future, with a recent report saying as much. Especially towards wireless chips.
It might be Friday, and it might be one week before Christmas swings around, but that isn't stopping Apple from getting a new beta build out there into the wild. Apple is looking to bring iOS 15.3 and iPadOS 15.3 to the public in the near future. Which means the beta process must go on.
