Macworld As an editor who’s been covering Apple for a long time, I’m often asked by family, friends, and acquaintances about which Mac to buy. I have knowledge and insight that people can tap into conveniently through a conversation, saving someone from hours of research, a task that can be daunting, intimidating, and confusing. When using Google or another search engine, results appear as a list of websites, and then it’s up to you to find the information you need. That could take a lot of time, maybe even several hours. But generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT and Google Bard can possibly cut that time down to a few minutes, akin to the conversations I have. However,…

But it is possible and not difficult at all. We show you a quick and easy way to run multiple instances of the same app at the same time. Can I just right-click on its icon? While this might seem the most obvious route,…

With Apple Watch Series 9, Apple will give its smartwatch users one of the biggest upgrades in years: a bonafide new processor. Apple Watch Series 8 David Phelan for Forbes: Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, in his Power On Discord channel, has said that the processor will be upgraded this year. While it’s true that each new Apple Watch has had a differently named chip, reports have suggested that there hasn’t been much of a speed upgrade between generations. So, for instance, while the Series 7 had an S7 chip, the same 64-bit dual-core processor found in the Series 6 was carried over to the Series 7, it seems. Let’s be clear, Apple puts the processor it needs in each of its…

Ford CEO Jim Farley said that Ford has no plans to drop support for CarPlay due to its popularity with Ford customers. He made the comment in an interview with The Wall Street Journal's Joanna Stern. "70 percent of our Ford customers in the U.S. are Apple customers. Why would I go to an Apple customer and say good luck?" he said. Farley was commenting on car manufacturers that do not support ‌CarPlay‌, like Tesla and General Motors. Tesla has never added ‌CarPlay‌ support into its vehicles, and GM earlier this year announced plans to phase out support for both ‌CarPlay‌ and Android Auto starting in 2023. Ford CEO @jimfarley98 says he’s sticking with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and…
