The European Commission has concluded an antitrust investigation into Corning’s glass supply deals. And for once, Apple just watched from the sidelines.

Early last year, Kuxiu released its X33 Pro Max iPad stand. It was the first stand to incorporate pin connectors into a magnetic stand to be able to charge your iPad. It was a fantastic idea. As a stand, it’s built very well, is high quality, does everything you need a stand to do, and gets the job done, but the fact that it also instantly charges the iPad was a game-changer for my setups. But now, they’ve brought the same tech but into your car with a mountable, magnetically charging iPad stand. Here is what you need to know.

One of the biggest upgrades in Apple’s 2025 fall releases for IT administrators is automating migrations between device management services. Before this update, switching platforms meant a lot of manual work, scripting, edge cases, and user disruption. With iOS 26 and macOS 26, Apple now supports direct migrations without wiping devices or losing app data. For IT teams that work with Apple, this is a huge win.

MacBooks are great computers, but there’s a number of different varieties to think about. Between last gen hardware and all of the current models available now, it can feel like there’s a lot of options. Today, we’ll be breaking down which is right for you, depending on your budget and what you need it for.

We saw recently that many Gen Z people have a much more relaxed attitude to location privacy than the rest of us, happily sharing their location 24/7 with entire groups of friends.

But for those of us who prefer a more restrained approach to sharing our location, I’d like to see one basic change, and a couple of intelligent features added to the Find My app …

In a new note to investors, HSBC says that the slow rollout of the AI features Apple introduced at WWDC 2024 has so far “failed to trigger significant improvement in user experience,” and that unless Apple gets back on track, users could end up pushing off their next iPhone upgrade.

Audiobook access on Spotify has always been limited to the account owner, meaning that even for Premium Family or Duo subscriptions, only the person who set up the plan could actually use the included hours each month. That’s about to change, depending on where you live.

If you’ve ever tried to get in-app support on WhatsApp, you know the process used to start with filling out a form, possibly attaching a few files, and waiting for a support rep to eventually get in touch.

Now, that form is on its way out, and the screening process is, you guessed it, becoming AI-based. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

If you’re buying a HomeKit door lock in 2025 and it doesn’t support home key, keep moving. The tap to unlock experience with iPhone or Apple Watch is the feature that makes smart locks feel like a major upgrade over a physical key or even unlocking via the Home app. It’s fast, reliable, and once you get used to it, there’s no going back. The checks all the boxes for a great HomeKit lock and brings a few nice surprises for under $150k.

This fall, an ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air will join Apple’s product lineup. But unsurprisingly, that radically thin design will likely come with some battery compromises. Here’s what the latest leak says about iPhone 17 Air battery capacity.
