The long-awaited iPad version of Final Cut Pro is here and, with it, a touch-friendly design and accessible pricing. But if you’re coming from Final Cut on the Mac, you might be a little disappointed. One of my favorite ways to edit photos is on an iPad — pinching the screen to zoom feels natural, the Apple Pencil is the perfect way to brush in adjustments, and even the apps are getting better over time. But I have not been able to replicate that setup for video editing. LumaFusion never did it for me, and despite my YouTube recommendations being filled with “I switched to DaVinci Resolve. Here’s why” videos, I haven’t made that switch yet. Here at The Verge,…

My deep purple iPhone is deeply disappointing. Here it is next to some purple items within arm’s reach of my desk. | Photo by Victoria Song / The Verge I go through color phases — pink when I was little, forest green throughout high school and college, and teal throughout my 20s. There was a dalliance with mint green (or sage, as Google calls it; it’s mint, okay?), but we don’t speak of that dark time. But once I bought the lavender Beats Fit Pro last year, I entered my purple era. So you can see why I was stoked when Apple announced that the iPhone 14 Pro lineup would come in purple. Sorry, deep purple. My iPhone 12 Pro…

Concurrent with the second quarter of fiscal 2023 results published in early May, Apple declared a new quarterly payout of $0.24 per share. This dividend raise shook out to a 4% improvement on its $0.23 per share predecessor. Eric Volkman for The Motley Fool: All things being equal, [top dividend] stocks produce regular dividend income that yields at, or above, the average of a representative group of dividend payers. These days, the average yield of the S&P 500 index sits at just under 1.7%. It also helps greatly if the company enacts a dividend raise at least once every year. The companies most readily identified with dividend stocks also tend to be well-established ones with modest growth but very strong…
