Apple’s rumored iPhone 17 Air won’t just be thinner than the standard iPhone 17. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, it may also share an important hardware feature with the iPhone 17 Pro models.

The first Apple Watch hit stores a decade ago on April 24, 2015. When mine arrived, I had no idea that putting on the Apple Watch would be the first step toward me becoming a half-marathon runner.

At 24, fitness was never a part of my identity. Like most habits, it started with a streak.

Last week, Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas floated the idea of making a better version of Siri for iPhone users.

Apple has released iOS 18.5 beta 3 for developers. The pre-release iPhone and iPad software update has been light on features, although there are some small changes.

Smart scales that sync data to the iPhone and iPad can be a fun and useful way to keep an eye on your metrics. If you want to easily collect your weight and other data in the Health app on iPhone and iPad, the thing to know is finding a scale that works with HealthKit and Apple Health.

CarPlay users often request web browsers and video apps for use while parked, but Apple limits CarPlay apps to a handful of categories. Adapters that run Android apps and display CarPlay exist as a workaround.

However, there’s now an app on the App Store that includes a browser feature for playing video. The CarPlay app loads URLs from the web to play video while parked.

Apple Sports has rightfully earned a reputation for being an app that continues to deliver. The latest win is a new social feature coming to Apple Sports called Game Card Sharing.

Do wireless CarPlay adapters actually work? In 2017, I bought a Honda Civic that came with wired Apple CarPlay. I really wanted wireless CarPlay in the Civic, but replacing its entertainment system at the time seemed like overkill.

Apple and its customers can breathe a sigh of relief today after the White House carved tariff exemptions for smartphones, laptops, and more. The iPhone maker was facing a 145% fee on products imported into the United States from China. This caused weeks of speculation that the iPhone and other electronics could be subject to price hikes to cover the cost.

Here’s a weird one. My son and I were discussing shapes on the drive to school earlier this week. His question for me was, “What is the name of the shape that looks like a square with uneven sides?”

I’m now in the habit of saying “ask ChatGPT” before any Siri request that isn’t taking an action like creating a reminder or sending a message. In this instance, though, I picked up my iPhone and pressed the Action button to open Advanced Voice Mode on ChatGPT. The results satisfied his curiosity.

A few days later, I decided to use his query as an example for how ChatGPT through Siri is useful. The results surprised me.

The most recent instance of benefiting from Apple Intelligence with about 70% satisfaction just occurred. I’m writing another piece using an M4 iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard. I selected the opening paragraph, invoked Writing Tools, and selected Proofread.
