But it’s natural to always seek out the next big thing. Apple’s CEO Tim Cook though, interestingly enough, has already told us what it is—and now it’s starting to take shape.

Apple released the first beta of iOS 18.3 two weeks ago. However, if you aren’t on the beta testing train, you shouldn’t have to wait much longer for Apple to release the update to everyone.

New seasons of Severance and Mythic Quest are clear highlights, but the conspiracy thriller Prime Target looks intriguing too. Here’s everything coming to Apple TV+ in January to kick off 2025.

I’ve been arguing that passwords are horrible for the best part of a decade now, and was an enthusiastic early adopter of the far better approach of passkeys.

Passkeys were supposed to achieve the holy grail of an approach which is both more secure than passwords and so easy to use that everyone would adopt them. But a new piece outlines four problems with the technology …

Here we go again for another season of rumors. This time, multiple reports suggest that all iPhone 17 models will have ProMotion – as Apple calls the technology for displays with a higher refresh rate. While this seems highly likely, you probably shouldn’t get too excited about it – and here’s why.

We recently reported on Flexbar, a project developed by ENIAC Technology that brings back the Touch Bar – the controversial (and now discontinued) small touch screen implemented by Apple on the MacBook Pro keyboard. Although Apple certainly had its reasons for discontinuing the Touch Bar, some users do miss it. I got my hands on a Flexbar unit to see what it’s like to use something like the Touch Bar again.

Apple is finally getting serious about the smart home, with three new Home products launching in 2025 and several more after that. Excited as I am for this new Home momentum, it also reminds me of a long-standing Apple rule that could be challenged by this lineup of new products.

Apple fired on all cylinders throughout 2024 with big revamps to the iPad and Mac lineups, the iPhone 16, and the Apple Watch Series 10.

None of those products, however, have had and will continue to have the impact of Apple Vision Pro. For that reason, we are crowning the Apple Vision Pro as the 9to5Mac Product of the Year for 2024.

Apple recently updated its trio of Mac accessories—, Magic Trackpad, and —to USB-C versions. Now, a new rumor points to the planned timing for Apple’s big Magic Mouse 3 redesign.
