Picture the scene: You’re on a plane, and your iPhone is your entertainment hub. You may be listening to podcasts, or music, or audiobooks. You may be playing a game, or reading Instapaper, or just checking and editing your vacation photos. Whatever you’re trying to do, it will be interrupted every time you unlock your iPhone, because your stupid boarding pass is right there on the lock screen. Even hours into a transatlantic fight, the boarding pass you already used hangs around, blocking things like the now-playing feature, and lock-screen controls for any music or audio apps.

Thankfully, it’s easy to get rid of — if you know where to look.

Raspberry Pi is the premier platform for DIY computing. It’s beloved by makers of all sorts, perfect for projects in coding, robotics, gaming, cryptocurrency mining, you name it. The possibilities are endless, so where do you begin?

Hollywood is pushing for iTunes to show the latest blockbuster movies just weeks after they hit the theater.

August 18, 2014: A Christmas-themed iPhone ad lands Apple an Emmy for “Most Outstanding Commercial of the Year.”

The prize-winning spot is Apple’s “Misunderstood” iPhone 5s ad, which depicts a silent teenager who won’t spend time with his family at Christmas because he’s too busy with his iPhone.

Six new how-to videos from Apple show how to do things with your iPad running iOS 11. The minute-long episodes are engaging, informational and make iOS 11 look super-exciting, which it totally is.

If you want to get an idea of the neatest new features in iOS 11, these videos make a great place to start. Even better, you might want to send them to somebody else to show them what they will be able to do with their own iPad when Apple releases the final version of iOS 11 in a few weeks time.

iTunes on the Mac, and the Videos app on iOS, both have great support for subtitles. You can add subtitles for multiple languages, and the iOS 11 video player can even pull in subtitles from YouTube videos. Subtitles help out of you have hearing loss, or if you’re watching shows and movies in a foreign language. And a lot of the time, actors are so mumbly that having subs is essential to follow the story, even in your own language, and with the sound jacked up. But unless you’re buying movies and TV shows from the iTunes store, how do you add subtitles to your videos? The good news is that it’s easy, and once you’ve bought our preferred app — SubsMarine — it’s also free.

Apple has baked a new feature into iOS 11 that lets you quickly disable Touch ID.

When you get a new MacBook, you get a powerful machine with one connection for peripherals. Simplicity is great, but let’s be real: Nobody uses USB-C exclusively. That makes having a single USB-C connection severely limiting.

What’s the best way to generate interest in your latest ad campaign? Include pictures of the next iPhone before it’s even announced, of course!

That’s exactly what McDonald’s has done, using an unofficial iPhone 8 render created by Benjamin Geskin, for a campaign to promote its new mobile ordering app down in Australia.

New photos of apparent iPhone 8 components once again corroborate rumors that the device will finally deliver wireless charging. We’ve already seen an image of its wireless charging coil, and now we have a charging circuit to go along with it.
