By the time this article is published, there will only be four days to go until Black Friday, the most magical and beloved day of the year. I hope you’ve put up your decorations. At this time of year, tech fans can pick up bargains (while avoiding non-bargains) on products that would otherwise be outside…
When Apple launched Vision Pro, reviewers were conflicted. Most acknowledged the very high standard of the headset’s technology, while wondering if there was a convincing use case. What are we supposed to do with this thing that justifies the enormous price tag? What’s the killer app? Even after the launch of the second-gen model, those…
Whether you are updating your old MacBook laptop or planning to buy your first Mac part of the decision of which model to buy should be based on timing. Before you part with your money you should check that the model you are buying isn’t about to be upgraded by Apple. There is nothing worse…
There’s no doubt that in the five years since the M1 chip, Apple silicon has changed the MacBook in radical ways. We’ve seen a massive performance uptick compared to the prior Intel chips, phenomenal battery life, and cool and quiet performance. The difference is day and night. But after a few years, we’ve gotten used…
We could talk about what Apple’s done wrong lately. We could. Probably for a while. Just look at this list of grievances. • Apple’s failed to deliver on its AI promises, and the AI it has delivered, like Image Playground, has not been terribly impressive.

Apple’s new Liquid Glass interface has been somewhat controversial since it was introduced in June at WWDC 2025. While some users like the bold new look, others are not fans of how the exaggerated transparencies and fluid interactions.

I suppose we can hardly complain. Apple’s mid-October launches were not teased with over-designed invitations. They didn’t have groan-worthy pun taglines. They did not involve Apple executives doing ill-advised “skits” and bouncing around on a virtual stage. In other words, they were not hyped up as any kind of event beyond a social media tease…
Apple product launches are no longer as exciting as they used to be. The iPhone’s evolution has slowed down, and M-powered Mac and iPad upgrades are largely limited to processor boosts.
