Macworld When iOS 17 arrives this fall, it’ll bring a slew of new features to your iPhone, including personalized contact cards, live voicemail, and so many stickers. But not every iOS 16 phone will get it. As announced at WWDC, Apple is only supporting iPhones going back to the XS, which means the iPhone 8 and iPhone X, announced in 2017, have reached the end of the line and will only receive security updates going forward. If you own one of those phones you’ll probably want to upgrade—and you’ll probably want to get as much as you can for your old phone. If that’s the case, you probably want to sell it as soon as possible. According to a report…

Macworld Hardware was by no means in short supply at this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference. Not only did Apple launch three new Macs but there was also that little matter of a revolutionary spatial computer. But just as the company uses its annual gathering to show off what software features are coming down the road for its platforms, it turns out that it’s also the ideal occasion for Apple prognosticators to read between the lines and see what additional hardware devices might lie just beyond the horizon.

We’re used to seeing Apple’s new features come from some currently popular app. But it’s less common for Apple to reach back and find inspiration in old, once-ubiquitous tech…

Who needs 15W charging when you can have these murdered-out looks and $30 left in your pocket? | Image: Nomad Want a fancy-looking charger for your MagSafe-compatible iPhone but don’t want to pay such a hefty premium price? Nomad is offering a new pair of chargers that do just that, and the key is cutting out Apple’s true MagSafe compatibility and its required Made for iPhone tax. The $70 Nomad Base and $80 Nomad Stand launching today are nearly identical to the existing Base One and Stand One, but unlike those models, these new chargers are not officially “Made for MagSafe.” Instead, they are simply wireless Qi with magnets for alignment, and they top out at 7.5W rather than the…
