I think Apple should take this radical approach to the new Siri

5 janvier 2026 à 16:44

Apple has been roundly criticized for falling behind in AI, and for its rather disastrous Apple Intelligence launch in which it was forced to admit it had promised things it couldn’t deliver.

The second criticism is valid, the first only partly so. But a new report suggests that Apple’s path to delivering on its AI promises may be a radical one: abandoning work on its own model. I do now think that’s absolutely the right thing to do …

Give you and your Apple devices a happy new year with these simple steps

5 janvier 2026 à 15:28

As Apple itself recently noted, most new year’s resolutions don’t last very long. When it comes to daily gym visits and diets, so many people have given up by the second Friday in January that it has come to be known as Quitter’s Day.

But there are some steps you can take with your Apple devices that make it extremely easy to keep up new habits once you’ve done the simple prep …

Six reasons you shouldn’t trust five-star reviews for apps or hardware

5 janvier 2026 à 13:31

Consumer reviews used to be one of the most reliable ways of assessing the quality of an app or a physical product. If you didn’t know any friends who’d tried it, the number of reviews and the average rating was a pretty good guide.

Sadly, however, that is no longer the case. Companies have become very adept at gaming the system, meaning that reviews are worth way less than they used to be. There are now six reasons you shouldn’t necessarily trust them, including one I only learned about today …

The Shure MV88 (again) plugs right into your iPhone

5 janvier 2026 à 12:57

The Shure MV88 mic used to be the perfect microphone for any iPhone owner who wanted high quality recordings with maximum convenience. With a Lightning connector, it plugged directly into your iPhone.

The company inexplicably failed to update it for many years after Apple switched to USB-C, but has finally corrected this – and may solve a common problem seen on YouTube …

You can 3D print a mockup of the iPhone Fold, with an asterisk

24 décembre 2025 à 13:07

Photos and video footage of a simple printed mock-up of an iPhone Fold gave us a decent sense of how the device might look if the most recent rumour about the aspect ratios is accurate. While the exterior display shape would be a radical departure, more 9to5Mac readers liked it than disliked it.

If you want to get an even better sense of how the device might feel, and have access to a 3D printer, you can create a physical mock-up using files provided online …

The Lowfree Flow84 is the mechanical keyboard Apple would make today [U: New model]

23 décembre 2025 à 15:51

The Lowfree Flow84 is the latest episode in my on-again, off-again love affair with mechanical keyboards. I describe it as the mechanical keyboard Apple would make for a mix of good and bad reasons, but we’ll get to that! Update: There is a new version with touch sliders for volume and brightness – see the Pricing & conclusions section at the end.

It’s one of a relatively new breed of low-profile mechanical keyboards, something that would have seemed a contradiction in terms just a few years earlier …

What would you think of these iPhone Fold aspect ratios? [Poll]

23 décembre 2025 à 14:59

We’ve so far been assuming that the iPhone Fold would have a familiar aspect ratio on the exterior display, opening out into an interior screen which is taller than it is wide.

However, a recent report suggested that the interior screen will be wider than it is tall, and some physical mockups give us an indication of how this might look …
