The new AirPods Pro are shaping up to be one of the most asked for items on peoples’ Christmas lists this season, there’s just one small problem: shipping times on Apple.com are showing units won’t arrive until after Santa Claus comes to town.

Apple will beat out Samsung and Huawei in 5G handsets next year, according to a forecast by industry analysts. This despite accusations by some critics that not putting 5G in the iPhone 11 would put Apple far behind its rivals.
Just Mobile is offering crazy discounts on some of its best iPhone cases. You can now bag its Quattro Air for iPhone XS for just $7.95 when you buy through the Cult of Mac Store.
One big difference between the Mac and iOS is that, on the Mac, open tabs stay open (more or less1), whereas on the iPad and iPhone, switching away to another app, or even another browser tab, can mean disaster. iOS dumps all those Safari tabs, and they must reload when you return.
For partially watched YouTube videos, this means you automatically go back to the beginning. But what if there was a way to force Safari to remember your watching progress, and reload the page to the exact spot you left off? There is now! I got sick of losing my spot in videos, so I made a bookmarklet that will save your current spot in a YouTube video. Even if you reboot your iPhone or iPad, it’ll reload in the exact same spot.
According to eMarketer, 30.3 million users are currently using Apple Pay. Meanwhile, Starbucks’ mobile payment system has around 25.2 million customers.

Every time I’ve written about bookmarklets, I’ve had to add a section on how to add them to Safari in iOS. On the Mac, you just drag them up to the bookmark bar, and you’re done. On iOS, the situation was so complex that I wrote a whole how-to just so I could link to that, instead of writing several paragraphs every time. But there is a way to drag and drop bookmarklets on iOS.
I’ve tested it on iOS 12 and iOS 13, and it’s amazing.
Can Arcade ever become the service Apple promised? Photo: Apple
Apple Arcade’s slate of more than 100 games for $4.99 a month looks like one of the best deals in gaming at first glance. But Apple’s new game subscription service fails to live up to the expectations of many iPhone and iPad owners.
That’s not because the games are bad. Or because there are hidden fees we weren’t expecting. It’s because Cupertino billed Apple Arcade as something special … and it just isn’t.
