The question on whether the iPhone 15 is off to a strong start has been answered. Apple just revealed that iOS handsets brought in more revenue in its most recent financial quarter than ever before.

“Today Apple is pleased to report a September quarter revenue record for iPhone and an all-time revenue record in Services,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO.

Amazon bargain site Woot! launched an Apple accessories sale with something for almost everyone — and deals as good as 90% off certain iPhone cases and 61% off an Apple Thunderbolt 3 Pro cable.

But with 49 products on sale, that’s just a taste. Act fast, the sale ends November 10 at 9:59 p.m. PT.

Apple’s “Scary Fast” Mac event focused on the new M3 family of chips, refreshed MacBook Pros and an updated iMac. But Apple uncorked a big surprise at the end by revealing the entire presentation was recorded using an iPhone.

This marks the first time Apple used only one of its handsets to film an entire product-launch event. And the company released a behind-the-scenes video showing exactly how the magic was made.

The Chinese government began multiple investigations into Foxconn, the Taiwanese company that assembles the iPhone, MacBooks and other Apple devices in China.

There are suspicions that the investigations are politically motivated: Foxconn founder Terry Gou is running for president of Taiwan.

The OMNIA charging station is one of the few 3-in-1 wireless chargers with fast charging for both an iPhone *and* Apple Watch.

There are lots of fast chargers that offer fast charging for iPhone, but most recharge the Apple Watch at only 3W. The OMNIA charging station, however, can recharge an Apple Watch at 5W thanks to its USB-C connection. That means it can fast charge the Apple Watch Ultra to 80% in less than an hour.

It’ll also wirelessly recharge compatible iPhones at 15W — the highest wattage supported — making it one of the few fast chargers out there for both iPhone and Apple Watch. And since it’s a 3-in-1 charger, it’ll also recharge your AirPods.

Better yet, the OMNIA M2+ MagSafe Wireless Charging Station + A1 Apple Watch Fast Charger is on sale right now for a limited time.

Apple has developed a new way to wirelessly update iPhones in its retail stores without opening their boxes. This will ensure all iPhones sold are running the latest iOS release.

Apple could roll out the technology to its retail stores before the end of the year.

Anyone planning on purchasing a used iPhone should take a look at new support document from Apple with tips on a successful buying process.

This includes a very useful inspection checklist to go through before handing over any money.

Being the default search engine in the Safari web browser is apparently worth an enormous amount of money. Google reportedly pays Apple between $18 billion and $20 each year for the privilege.

But the payments might come to an end as a result of the antitrust accusations the Department of Justice brought against the search giant.

iOS 16.7.1 launched on Tuesday to deal with a serious security problem in the older version of Apple’s iPhone operating system. It’s for iPhone users who haven’t yet made the jump to iOS 17.

There’s also an iPadOS version for tablets.

You can no longer downgrade your iPhone to iOS 16.6.1. Following the release of iOS 17.0.3, Apple has stopped signing the last stable iOS 16 release for its iPhones.

So, if you did not like iOS 17 for some reason, there’s no way you can downgrade your iPhone to iOS 16 now.
