Macworld Apple has the best TV streaming box. It’s faster and more responsive, it supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, it runs all the streaming apps and has full access to purchasing TV and movies from Apple’s store, and of course it works seamlessly with your iPhone and Apple cloud services. With the latest Apple TV 4K hardware, the problematic remote has even been overhauled and is actually quite good now! Its only problem is that it costs twice as much as all its competitors. That’s why it’s always a good idea to keep an eye out for sales and special offers. Amazon Prime Day, which is set to take place from 11-12 July 2023, could be a good time…

If you're pulling your hair out over where you left your Apple TV remote, try installing Elago's updated magnetic Metal Plate R1. (via Cult of Mac - Tech and culture through an Apple lens)

Macworld Wireless headphones are essentially the standard now, with Bluetooth not only being convenient but Apple removing the audio jack on the iPhone range. For most people, the sound quality difference to wired isn’t noticeable anyway. The market is huge, but here are the best wireless headphones we’ve tested for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Macs. If you do want a wired connection some of these do offer it in addition to Bluetooth, but we also have a round up of the best wired headphones. And if you’re wondering why the AirPods Max don’t appear on this list, rest assured that we gave them due consideration – but while audio quality is exceptional, their very high price and ill-judged case…

This is the future Richard Lawler and few others will desire. | Image: Apple Slowly, everyone is agreeing that the Vision Pro is a TV, but I’m struggling to believe that it will actually replace the TV sets in your home. Apple’s Vision Pro is a TV. It’s not even out yet, but that feels well established at this point. While it can play games and do VR experiences and mimic AR through terrific feats of engineering, the use case with the most traction so far is you can strap it on your face and effectively have a 100-plus-inch 4K HDR TV set without the need to find wall space in your house. But while it’s clear Apple has crafted…

The Sonos Roam is just one of many potential gifts on sale in the run-up to Father’s Day. | Photo by Chris Welch / The Verge Father’s Day is swiftly approaching — and you know what that means. Everyone from The Home Depot to Amazon is hosting a Father’s Day sale in the run-up to the holiday this weekend, and some retailers are even offering better deals than those we saw during Memorial Day. What’s more, a number of those discounts apply to items that will make for great gifts, allowing you to snag a Sonos Roam, the latest AirPods Pro, or Google’s 4K-ready Chromecast at a fraction of the cost. As always, we’ve scoured the web and rounded up…

In a recent episode of Scott Galloway’s Prof G podcast, the host walks through his view of why Vision Pro will be a net fail for society. In short, time using Vision Pro is time not being engaged with your community. Go to the office, go to the grocery store, go to the concert, go to the gym. I’m very sympathetic with this area of thinking. As a remote worker and single parent of five- and ten-year-old kids, the opportunity to meet new people ain’t what it used to be. An ad for Peloton followed the segment. Huh. Anyway… Vision Pro has the potential to connect us in new ways, but the risk of adding to the loneliness epidemic with…
