Apple calls watchOS 10 a “milestone update for Apple Watch.” I’ve been running the pre-release version of the software update for a few days now, and I think that’s a fair way to characterize it. Apple didn’t throw out watchOS as we know it and go back to the drawing board with a totally different idea. Instead, watchOS 10 revisits built-in apps with a design fit for modern displays and redesigns navigation to include a new widgets system. more… The post My favorite watchOS 10 feature is something no one will care about appeared first on 9to5Mac.
Screen for one, please. | Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge Vision Pro is all about the ‘experience’ as you watch videos, FaceTime family, and get work done. But that experience looks awfully isolating. The year is 2025. I’m sitting on the couch next to my husband, who appears in my field of vision whenever we talk to each other. When we aren’t talking, he fades out of view so I can focus my attention on the screens in front of me. I’m editing a presentation for work, FaceTiming with my family across the country, learning Spanish, and watching cooking demos on YouTube at the same time. I get a notification — it’s time for my daily meditation. The…
Macworld Apple has a rich, if checkered, history of releasing new Macs for hardcore computing professionals. Now that the Mac Pro has had a long-awaited revamp to Apple Silicon, let’s remember the days when pro Macs were towering beasts using more metal than the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and more plastic than a nursery full of Lego bricks. Today some pro Mac users are happy with a flimsy bit of aluminum like the Mac mini. Wimps. We demand something that looks like it contains a nuclear reactor. It needs to be bigger than a suitcase with warning stickers all over it, hotter than a barbeque and noisier than a drag car. Yes, something like the old Power Mac G5. Here’s…

This is what iOS 7 looked like in September 2013 — three months after Apple first announced it. | Image: Apple iOS 7 brought a bold new design, but much of what was introduced in that release still serves as the foundation for what we see on our iPhones today. Heading into WWDC 2013, Apple had a lot to prove. The company was still licking its wounds from the botched launch of Apple Maps in iOS 6, and complaints had been growing around iOS’s increasingly stale design. Though the iPhone was by then a proven hit, iOS was starting to look outdated. Remember the notepad-like Notes app? The weird linen background behind Notification Center? The felt-ish green background of the…
Macworld I recently squawked about how the Mac has taken a back seat at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference, and as a fan of the Mac, I wish Apple would do more Mac stuff. Apparently, my prayers have been answered! According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, “several new Macs” will be one of the “three major focus areas” at the WWDC keynote on June 5. Several? What could those new Macs be? It’s not too hard to figure out, based on Apple’s release cycles. Mix that info with what’s been rumored, and we can come up with what Macs we could see at WWDC. Here’s a list, in order of likelihood. 15-inch MacBook Air This new model has been rumored so much…
