We wouldn’t think many aspects of iPhone user interface design could be more straightforward than the time picker in the alarm function – but it appears we would be wrong …

Earlier this week, a random report from an account with zero track-record claimed that the iPhone 18 will drop the Camera Control button. We were skeptical of the rumor at the time, and now a new leak from a more reliable source has the full context.

As it turns out, Apple isn’t planning to remove the Camera Control from the iPhone 18 altogether, but rather introduce a dumbed-down version of it.

A year after discontinuing the rather disastrous FineWoven iPhone case, Apple will reportedly take a second shot at an alternative premium to leather cases. The latest development is the alleged name, and a potentially new Apple accessory that may be sold separately.

Apple’s Always On Display has been fairly consistent since it debuted on iPhone 14 Pro. With iOS 26, Apple quietly changed how it works in a way that may not be obvious.

One of my favorite iPhone features is StandBy, which turns your iPhone into a smart display when it’s in landscape orientation and charging. The best to take full advantage of StandBy is with an upright wireless charger.

Head below for a closer look at some of my favorite MagSafe stands for iPhone, perfect for StandBy. Even better, most of these are on massive deals for Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping.

Expectations are now firmly set: iPhone 17 Pro will come with a higher starting price and one less storage option.

Apple’s next iPhone lineup is getting closer to launch, and color may be one of the most exciting changes this year. Leaks suggest the iPhone 17 series will not only bring back some fan favorites but also introduce bold new shades, including one of the brightest colors ever offered for a Pro model.

Apple may not be merging macOS and iPadOS, but the two version 26 operating systems share a lot of similarities. Still, the quest to actually port the Mac operating system to the iPad continues.

Using the iPad Pro with the nano-texture display reaffirmed my preference for anti-glare displays. Naturally, this made me want to nano-texture all the things.

While not all Apple products have nano-texture display options, you can get a lot of the way there with quality anti-glare matte screen protectors for any iPhone, iPad, and MacBook.

We all know the feeling we get after dropping our iPhone and immediately inspecting the glass for damage. Now imagine dropping your iPhone out of an airplane. That happened over the summer for conservationist Ashley Prange.

When Apple unveils the iPhone 17 lineup next month, it seems like we’ll also see a new version of Apple’s first-party protective cases as well. If the latest rumors are true, the iPhone 17 case lineup will take a design cue from the AirPods Pro 2 charging case.

The most likely iPhone 17 event date is now the rumored iPhone 17 event date. No surprises there. But when should we expect Apple to actually confirm the date of its next big product reveal, and what should you make of event invite “leaks” on social media?

Apple may say that most iPhones sold in the U.S. are now assembled in India, but that doesn’t necessarily mean Apple has reduced its reliance on China. Patrick McGee, who literally wrote the book on Apple in China, explains.

Apple reported its fiscal Q3 2025 earnings today, beating analyst expectations in key categories like revenue, earnings per share, iPhone revenue, and more.

During a call with analysts today, Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed that Apple has just crossed another major milestone: shipping its three-billionth iPhone since its launch in 2007.

Apple announced plans to let iPhone users add a driver’s license or state ID to Wallet back in 2021. The rollout started slowly, but it has picked up significantly over the past year. Apple also now offers a second option that does not depend on your state at all.

Today, there are two distinct ways to carry an ID in Apple Wallet:

• An eligible driver’s license or state ID issued by a participating state
• A passport-verified Digital ID created from an unexpired U.S. passport

The two options coexist in Wallet, but they have different requirements and are not accepted everywhere. Here’s what each one does, where you can use it, and which states could be next.

Yesterday we learned about three new potential iPhone 17 Pro camera features. Today a test unit was possibly spotted in the wild — potentially showing us the first glimpse at one of those rumored features.

We’re probably about six weeks away from Apple announcing the iPhone 17 Pro. Much of what we expect to see has been leaked for months, but a new rumor has surfaced about some unexpected camera upgrades.

Do wireless CarPlay adapters actually work? Many years ago, I bought a new car that came with wired Apple CarPlay. I really wanted wireless CarPlay, but replacing the whole entertainment system didn’t make sense. Fortunately, there are popular solutions for turning standard CarPlay into wireless CarPlay, and they work with iOS 27 and Apple’s latest iPhones.

The iOS 26 public beta is now available, the next major update for iPhone software. iOS 26 brings an all-new Liquid Glass design, updates to your favorite iPhone apps and features, and much more.

Apple has released a revised version of iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 beta 4 for iPhone and iPad. This is the second revision to an iOS 26 developer beta version, following a small revision to iOS 26 beta 1 for some iPhones.

AppleCare is taking a page from the Apple One services bundle and introducing a bundle of its own. AppleCare One is a new way to pay for additional warranty status on all your Apple products, and the window to add coverage is more generous than ever.
