Apple reported $25.5 billion in sales from its Greater China segment for the fiscal first quarter ended December 27, 2025, marking a 38% year-over-year surge that far exceeded Wall Street’s average forecast of $21.8 billion.

The main logic board is apparently located in the right side of the phone, and Apple…

Apple just released the second-generation AirTag, five years after the original model debuted. There's been a lot of time for Apple to come up with improvements, so we thought we'd test out the new model to see what's changed, and whether it's worth upgrading from the first-generation ‌AirTag‌.
