Over the past 20 years, Apple’s Safari web browser grew from a speedy young upstart to a polished professional. Released on this day in 2003 as a free download, Safari has been bundled with every version of the Mac operating system since.
Take a trip down memory lane as we look at how Safari has evolved over the years.
If you’re missing the iPod — the revolutionary music player that Apple unceremoniously killed last year — maybe an iPod-inspired Apple accessory will help fill the void.
In this roundup, we showcase iPod-inspired products from Elago like cases for AirTags and AirPods, as well as an Apple Watch stand. These are just some of the many Elago accessories you can find in the Cult of Mac Store.
Episode XOXO is an interactive storytelling game full of love, drama and adventure now on Apple Arcade. It brings a version of the very popular Episode: Choose Your Story game to Apple’s gaming service.
It is now playable on a wide range of Apple computers, from iPhone to Mac.
It’s always nice to hear from professionals relying on Apple gear and finding it meets or even exceeds their expectations. That’s a good indicator that Cupertino is going in the right direction.
Today’s featured computer setup shows that enthusiasm. A mobile app developer offers high praise for his M1 MacBook Pro. And his stacked displays and raft of AV gear aren’t bad, either. Let’s take a look.
Smart-home specialist Aqara said Thursday it will expand its product line in the coming months with a new video doorbell, LED light strips, a sensor with artificial intelligence and a smart door lock that works with Home Key. All of the new devices will work with HomeKit and other smart-home systems.
Rather than showcasing new products at CES 2023 in Las Vegas, however, the company put out a video showing off the four items below as if it were at the show.
The Scosche BaseLynx 2.0 Modular Charging System lets users mix and match the units they need to power up iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad or other devices.
The accessory-maker also used CES 2023 to unveil a variety of other chargers.
The SKFP Combo Keyboard includes a trackpad that flips under to save room when on the go. Plus, its case folds to become a stand for an iPad.
The accessory is for anyone who wants a portable wireless keyboard that can be shared with multiple iPads.
JBL revealed several new wireless earbud models Wednesday, including the new flagship Tour Pro 2 with a touchscreen for additional control via the “smart case.”
“The world’s first smart charging case,” as the company called it, features a 1.45-inch LED touchscreen that lets you control music, noise cancellation, calls and notifications. That gets you out of turning to an app on your smartphone — as long as you keep the case at hand.
Some computer setups are simply music to our ears — almost literally, in some cases. Today’s featured setup sees (and hears) an M1 MacBook Pro playing frontman to a band that includes a few pieces of key audio hardware and software as well as dual curved ultra-wide external displays.
And whether or not it’s “ultra-minimalist,” as stated by the user — it’s not, by almost any definition of computing minimalism — it appears relatively spare and effective.

The new Lululook Foldable Laptop Stand props up your MacBook at a range of angles, and can also lift the computer to a variety of heights. As a bonus, it also rotates so the notebook can be easily spun around.
I tested Lululook’s latest stand in my home office, and it’s an outstanding addition to a MacBook-centered setup.
