The next comedy premiering on Apple TV+ is The Big Door Prize. The series tells the story of a small town that is changed forever when a mysterious machine appears in the general store, promising to reveal each resident’s true life potential.
The trailer released Wednesday gives a first real look at the show and its stars. It debuts on Apple’s streaming service on March 28.
Kensington introduced three new privacy screens for Mac Tuesday. They’re designed for easy on-and-off, helping to protect the 2022 MacBook Air, 24-inch iMac and Studio Display from “visual hacking.” That’s when nearby computer screens or cameras pick up what’s on your screen.
A fun new Today at Apple class teaches aspiring artists how to use an iPad to create their own Ted Lasso ‘Believe’ poster.
The class is free, and will be taught at Apple retail stores. And it’ll help get Ted Lasso superfans ready for next week’s premiere of season 3 on Apple TV+.
iPhone captured eight spots in the list of top 10 bestselling smartphones for 2022, according to a market-research firm. In fact, Apple makes the three most popular models.
But Samsung’s flagship Android device surely lands at least one spot in the top 10, right? Nope.
Anker introduced a new potent-but-weenie little GaN charger to it lineup Wednesday, the Anker 47W Nano 3. It packs more power than the company’s 30W Nano chargers, adds a most-welcome second USB-C port and comes in three colors.
And it also comes with a 15% off launch discount — $34 instead of the regular $40, a savings of $6.
If you have a compact, portable stand, you can turn your MacBook or iPad into a proper workstation almost anywhere. Function101 offers the Elevate stand, now on sale in the Cult of Mac Store.
It folds flat to store or carry and folds out to four positions more maximum typing comfort, with or without an external keyboard.
Apple’s 2020 MacBook Air with M1 chip is again down to its lowest price of $799.99 on Amazon after a massive $199 discount.
At the discounted price, it is hard to beat the value for money the M1 MacBook Air provides.
The sometimes-overlooked heroes of computer setups are stands and mounts. They make a big difference. They free-up space on the desk. They bring screens to eye level for better ergonomics. And they can even help turn a one-display setup into a three-display workstation, as they do in today’s featured MacBook Pro and iPad mini rig.
The user relies on one main external monitor — a Studio Display — but raising the MacBook and the iPad up to eye level and using Universal Control gives him three prominent screens. And that’s without having to buy and make room for multiple external monitors.
Who doesn’t love a quaint pub, especially if it’s the 100% real one in greater London where many scenes from the hit Apple TV+ comedy Ted Lasso are shot?
Believe it or not, if you’re quick about it and quite lucky indeed, you can actually sleep in Richmond’s Crown & Anchor (known as The Prince’s Head in real life) for just $13 per night, thanks to Airbnb — and we don’t mean nodding off in a pool of Guinness.
A week after the second iOS 16.4 beta dropped, Apple seeded the third build to developers. Unlike the first and second build, the third beta is light on changes.
You can find everything new in iOS 16.4 and iPadOS 16.4 beta 3 below. There’s also an archive of the new features spotted in beta 1 and 2.
After the lighthearted musicals of the first season of Schmigadoon!, fans of the Apple TV+ series will need to adjust for darker and sexier fare in season two. The first trailer shows the upcoming episodes will be set in a new town, where everyone lives in a musical from the 1960s or 1970s.
Watch the just-released Schmigadoon! season two trailer to see what’s coming to Apple TV+ in April.
Anyone who just can’t wait for the newly announced yellow iPhone 14 can at least put Apple’s wallpaper for the upcoming handset on their current device.
The same is also true for those who simply like yellow and green.
Alongside the release of its new Era 300 and Era 100 speakers, Sonos said Tuesday it will “add support for spatial audio on Apple Music in what will be a significant expansion of its next-gen sound experience offerings.”
The company said customers can access spatial audio on Apple Music via the Era 300 and two older Sonos speaker systems starting in three weeks — Tuesday, March 28 (the new speakers’ shipping date).
Apple’s AirPods Max are premium wireless noise-cancelling headphones, and they don’t come cheap ($549). So shouldn’t you protect those top-shelf cans like you protect your other Apple gear?
Fortunately, Elago makes a clear case that’ll keep your headphones looking new. And unlike other cases, you can keep them on the headphones all the time, even when you’re wearing them. And they’re inexpensive, too.
Apple introduced a veritable rainbow of new hues for Apple Watch bands Tuesday — including the new Hermès Casaque multicolor bands inspired by “bold jerseys worn by horse jockeys,” Apple said.
The top Casaque band, a double-strapped leather number with four colors in it, costs $599. And that’s with no watch included. But at least you get a borderline-hideous Apple Watch band.
Fortunately, new spring colors are also available for several styles of reasonably priced bands like the Solo Loop and Sport Band.
Half a dozen additional European countries will soon gain access to the iPhone 14 Emergency SOS via satellite feature. It was already available in six countries around the world.
It allows users away from cellular networks to reach out for help from almost anywhere … as long as the local emergency services are prepared for the satellite service.
Apple rolled out yellow versions of its iPhone 14 and 14 Plus handsets Tuesday as part of a typical midcycle refresh. The new color joins midnight, starlight, Product(Red), blue and purple in the lineup. Apple made four new silicone case colors available, too.
You can preorder the new yellow iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus as of Friday. The new phones arrive in stores on March 14, Apple said. The cases are available now.
Apple reportedly plans to use its first 3nm-based chip, the as-yet-unveiled M3, on upcoming 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air models. Previous rumors claimed Apple’s existing M2 chip would power the 15-inch MacBook Air.
Apple could launch the yellow iPhone 14 sooner than you think. This won’t be the first time Apple has announced a mid-cycle color refresh for its iPhone lineup.
Alongside the new color, Apple should launch its spring collection of iPhone 14 cases and watch bands.
Update: As predicted, a new yellow iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus joined Apple’s lineup on Tuesday.
Multiple sources concur that the first ever 15-inch MacBook Air will launch in the coming months. What they don’t agree on is exactly what month that will be.
One very reliable source says the largest MacBook Air ever will be out in April, but an equally reliable one says it might not debut until summer.
Apple released tvOS 16.3.3 on Monday, but it makes only a single change: it fixes a connection bug that’s caused problems with the Siri Remote since the latest Apple TV 4K version debuted in late 2022.
The update is available only for that model. Users of other versions shouldn’t waste time looking for it.
Microsoft no longer charges for Outlook for Mac. It’s free to use, no subscription fee required.
The macOS app can be used with a variety of email account types, including iCloud and Gmail. And the software handles both email and calendar.
Apple TV+ just released the first trailer for Silo, an upcoming a drama series based on a bestselling trilogy of dystopian novels.
In the series, a few thousand people are left on earth hiding in a mile-deep silo. But what if everything they’ve ever been told about the outside world is a lie?
Apple’s recently launched M2 Mac mini has dropped to its lowest price yet. You can get the entry-level 2023 Mac mini for $549, saving a sweet $50.
A similar discount is also available on the 512GB configuration of the M2 Mac mini.
Even a small desk can’t keep you from having a powerful computer setup — if you get the right gear and not too much of it. All it takes is a great laptop — like a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air — a vertical laptop stand, a not-gargantuan display and a minimal amount of other gear, as shown in today’s featured setup.
Oh, and consider a monitor arm rather than a stand. That helps keep the external screen out of the way.
