Ahead of a new school year starting, Apple is expanding support for mobile student IDs on the iPhone and Apple Watch. The feature has been available for a while, but there are still some schools that don't support it. But the bigger news is that availability for the feature is expanding into an entirely new market this year, too.
While Apple's mobile payment option, Apple Pay, is widely available across the globe already, there are still places where the service is not available. Which means there's still room to grow. And today, Apple can mark off yet another market.
Apple's colorful iMac ships with redesigned Magic Keyboards that you couldn't buy as a standalone accessory, until today. Versions with and without Touch ID are available, with the former requiring an Apple silicon Mac to function.
Checkra1n is one of the best ways to jailbreak an iPhone or iPad if you have a compatible device (A7-A11) because it utilizes an un-patchable hardware-based bootrom exploit known as checkm8. Perhaps the only notable caveat to checkra1n is that it’s a semi-tethered jailbreak, which means that you need a computer to return to a jailbroken state if you reboot your device for any reason.
It goes without saying that the vast majority of iPhone users resort to using the stock Contacts app that Apple pre-installs from the factory for managing their contact list.

There are a lot of features in the Apple Watch. Some of them stand out more than others, like the heart rate sensor. Indeed, it's one of the biggest elements of the Apple Watch, a major selling point for Apple's wearable. There's at least one company out there that's not such a fan of Apple's implementation, though.
Many people seem to be hit with what seems to be a new Apple TV software bug across platforms, with some folks complaining about no audio in purchased movies.
With the Pixel line, Google originally set out to craft its own Android smartphone experience around both hardware and software. We used to call it a Google Phone but it would actually take a few more years for the mythical Google Phone, as we envisioned it, to become a reality.
Expectations are high for a new Apple Watch. The rumor mill has painted a picture of an upcoming redesign that could breathe new life into the smartwatch (as if it really needs it). And today we are one step closer to having that device launch into the real world.
Today is not the day that Google is launching a brand new smartphone. It is the day the company is revealing it, though. Weeks, and perhaps even a couple of months, before Google makes its newest smartphone pair available to buy, we're getting a first look at what we can expect from the newest Android-based flagship.
