SanDisk designed its Creator Phone SSD specifically for people recording large amounts of 4K ProRes video with a recent iPhone Pro/Pro Max model. The MagSafe drive magnetically attaches to the back of the handset so it’s out of the way during filming.

It holds up to 2TB of data without making the handset difficult to film with. And transferring data to a Mac for editing is a snap.

I tested the SSD with my iPhone and it worked very well. But the cable is bulkier than it should be.

There’s been another big data leak of over 16 billion records, and that’s a great opportunity to do something you’ve probably been procrastinating on: Replace your website passwords that hackers stole because of some lax security. Fortunately, Apple’s new Passwords app makes it easy to find out which of your passwords leaked so you can change passwords right on your iPhone.

Stay one step ahead by fixing a potentially serious problem now, before something bad happens.

Whether you’re jumping on a call from your MacBook or tuning into a podcast on your iPhone during a morning jog, they stay in place, and the audio sounds crisp. And right now, you can grab a refurbished pair of these open-ear headphones for just $74.99 (regularly $149.95).

Experiencing random crashes with the YouTube app on your iPhone or iPad? Google recommends reinstalling the app to fix the issue.

While the random crashes also affected Android users, Google’s official solution does not require them to reinstall the app.

Apple introduced iPhone Mirroring with iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia in 2024. But due to regulatory concerns, Apple never launched the feature in the EU.

iOS 26 and macOS Tahoe won’t change that, with Apple confirming it has no plans to bring iPhone Mirroring to Macs in the European Union anytime soon.

Production of the long-awaited iPhone with a folding screen begins in a few months, according to a trusted analyst. But Apple supposedly plans to make only a few million of them, indicating the company expects this to be a niche product.

Previous reports indicate the price for the folding iPhone could be around $2,000 — about what similar Androids with foldable screens cost. High cost keeps this entire class of handsets out of the hands of average users, and so far it doesn’t seem like Apple has a solution.

Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of software engineering, turned to a pair of metaphors in a recent interview to explain why macOS will not replace iPadOS on the iPad. Perhaps the most notable: “We don’t want to build sporks.”

Questions about iPad’s future came up after the unveiling at WWDC last week of iPadOS 26, which moves Apple’s tablet closer to the Mac than ever before.

Soundcore’s latest outdoor-focused Bluetooth speaker, the Boom 3i, is ideal for users who want reliable audio during outdoor adventures — especially on the water — the Anker subsidiary said Wednesday. The company emphasized the little wireless speaker’s toughness and floatable design.

So don’t worry about dropping it in the pool, lake, river or ocean — in fact, you might want to.

You can see the past week’s weather on your iPhone in the Apple Weather app. It shows all kinds of detailed weather data — not just temperature and rain, but wind, humidity, visibility, pressure and more.

You also can easily see how that info compares to the average weather data to see if this is an unusually heavy winter or a particularly hot summer. Apple Weather even shows you details on the phase of the moon, all in iOS 17.

Here’s how it works.

Long a VPN professional and Apple ecosystem enthusiast, I have seen a marked shift in Mac users’ perspective of online privacy and security. Though macOS is frequently hailed for its built-in protections and user-oriented design, it does not mean Mac users are free from tracking, monitoring or data leaks. The increase in privacy incursions at the network level emphasizes the need for considering your connection to the web, rather than only the device you use.

The new Haven-1 VR app brings the Haven-1 commercial space station directly to Apple Vision Pro headsets, offering users an unprecedented, virtual-reality look inside humanity’s next frontier in space exploration, space technology company Vast said Wednesday.

So users of Vision Pro and other AR/VR headsets can now explore the world’s first commercial space station in VR.

Professionals who need 6K monitors, high-speed connectivity, and a plethora of ports can now purchase the Plugable 11-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 docking station at a competitive price.

It uses the latest version of the Thunderbolt standard to provide data transfers at up to 80 Gbps with a boost up to 120 Gbps.

Looks like Samsung might push the boundaries of wearable health technology with its upcoming Galaxy Watch, due in July. Its features go beyond what Apple Watch currently offers. Galaxy will include a groundbreaking, needle-free blood analysis tool among other intriguing features, according to a new report.

The new capabilities might offer a prescription of sorts for future Apple Watch upgrades.

The M4 and M4 Pro Mac mini desktop computers are smaller than their predecessors, but they still take up space on desks. That is, unless you come up with a clever way to hide them while keeping them fully functional. In today’s featured setup, which also includes a MacBook Pro under an overarching external display, the user mounts the mini under the desk. And under-desk mount is the best way to hide your computer.

Are you an Apple Watch fanatic who’s tired of hassling with tangled charging cables? The MagStack Duo magnetic charging cable might be the streamlined solution you’ve been looking for.

Designed to simplify your charging setup, this tangle-free USB-C cable wraps around its built-in Apple Watch charging puck and holds itself magnetically in a sleek form that works just as well on your nightstand as it does in your travel bag.

It’s wrapped in durable nylon braiding that gives it a premium feel. And you can get a MagStack Duo charging cable for only $34.99 (regularly $39.99).

iOS 26, iPadOS 26, watchOS 26 and macOS 26 introduce a host of new features in addition to the Liquid Glass design makeover that will bring glossy, translucent harmony to Apple’s software ecosystem this fall. However, not all of those advanced features will make it to every compatible device when Apple releases its next-gen operating systems.

If you own an old iPhone or Intel-based Mac, you will miss out on several improvements. Here’s a look at what won’t make the cut.

Refurbished Apple Watch Series 10 units can be purchased directly from Apple starting Tuesday with savings up to $110.

The smartwatch launched only a few months ago, and buying a refurbished unit knocks as much as 15% off the price of a new one.

Adding a high-speed SSD to the Mac mini M4 just got easier with the Satechi USB4 Slim NVMe SSD Enclosure. It can hold up to 8TB drives and transfer data at up to 5 GB per second.

The accessory hit store shelves Tuesday and comes with a 17% launch discount.

The newly released AI-powered Adobe Firefly mobile app allows users to generate images and videos using text prompts on their iPhone or Android. They can also edit images with the new tool.

The application includes access to a range of AI models, including the most popular ones.

When director Joseph Kosinski and cinematographer Claudio Miranda set out to film the upcoming Apple Original film F1: The Movie, they faced a unique challenge. How could they capture authentic point-of-view racing footage from inside Formula One cars without compromising the vehicles’ precise engineering specifications? The solution required Apple to build something that never existed before — a custom camera module using iPhone components that could withstand the extreme conditions of professional racing, according to new report. And so were born custom iPhone cameras in F1.

iPad cases that fold into stands are old news, but the Moft Dynamic Folio takes that idea and builds on it. The front flap can be folded into a variety of shapes to support the tablet at a range of angles, in both landscape and portrait orientations. A highlight is one that lifts the iPad up about 3 inches so it’s easier to see.

Plus, the case/stand is lightweight and very easy to attach and remove. There are versions for all recent Apple tablets.

I tested the flexible iPad accessory for several weeks. Here’s what I found out.

Sony’s LinkBuds Fit earbuds are designed with comfort in mind. Their lightweight build and ergonomic design make them suitable for extended wear, whether you’re commuting, working out or just relaxing at home. Plus, silicone wingtips help secure the earbuds in place, ensuring they stay put during runs or other workouts.

Priced at just $89.99 (regularly $199.99), these refurbished LinkBuds Fit noise-canceling earbuds provide an affordable alternative to AirPods Pro, without compromising on essential audio features.

The new Spigen Apple Watch Classic C1 Charger Stand comes in the form of a miniature iMac G3, complete with a selection of familiar translucent colors, the accessory maker said Monday.

So the Apple Watch charging stand, the latest addition to Spigen’s popular C1 series based on iMac G3 design cues, pays homage to one of Apple’s most iconic computers. It services as a functional charger as well as a conversation piece.
