Explore 20 years of Mac UI design through emulations of a single app

Designer and author Marcin Wichery has not only traced the first 20 years of development of that app, but has also included emulators that let you experience it for yourself …

Apple profits means iPhone users still get no real browser choice, says group

A web advocacy group says that iPhone users still get no real web browser choice more than a year after this was supposed to happen under antitrust legislation.

The non-profit Open Web Advocacy (OWA) claims Apple deliberately places obstacles in the path of developers, and that’s because doing so protects a large slice of its profits …

These are the pros and cons of buying from Apple’s refurbished store: Is it worth it?

Apple has long offered a refurbished store on its website, where it sells recent generation products at a pretty sizable discount. Unlike other refurbished offerings, Apple guarantees a replaced outer shell, battery, and glass – ensuring no wear and tear. You also get a 1 year Apple warranty and the ability to add AppleCare if you’d like.

That sounds great, but is it actually worth it? Well, it depends. We’ll be delving into Apple refurbished listings, and comparing it to on the market.

iPhone 17e is reportedly launching next year, here’s what we know so far

Apple’s been toying around with the idea of a cheaper iPhone in the lineup for quite some time, though it’s never been a consistent thing. Obviously, there was the iPhone 5c back in 2013 as a cheaper offering compared to the iPhone 5s. It didn’t sell too well, but it was certainly its first venture into this market.

Afterwards, there was the lineup, which had an average of 3 years between each refresh. Now, it’s looking like the ‘cheaper’ iPhone will become a regular part of the iPhone lineup, per recent reports.

The MacBook Upgrade Program that starts at $33.28/month

The MacBook is one of the most powerful tools of the modern age. Most people will spend years of their lives in front of their computer. So it makes sense to have a great one.

But the way we buy them is broken.

High cost. Trade-in headaches. Endless upgrade cycles.

For most people, spending upwards of $2,000 upfront puts a huge hole in your pocket, not to mention the hassle and time spent reselling it when you’re ready to upgrade.

But there’s a newer option…and it’s growing fast among professionals, creatives, developers, and students who want better tools without the stress. It’s called Upgraded, and it’s a MacBook Upgrade Program where you can get a brand new MacBook every 2 years, starting at $33.28/mo. Here’s how it works:
