Five ways macOS Tahoe makes you radically more productive

Apple has added a lot of gloss to macOS Tahoe, but there are also five specific features that make a massive difference — once you know they're there, and once you know their limitations. Don't knock the Liquid Glass visual changes that have come with macOS 26, because most of them do surface features that…

Apple’s 2025 roadmap is reportedly missing a major product badly in need of an update

With WWDC in Apple’s rearview mirror, we can now all turn our attention to the next round of hardware releases coming in September. We already know the iPhone 17 is on the way, but a new report claims one product we were expecting this year might not arrive. Jeff Pu of GF Securities has issued…

Apple may look late to AI but it’s aiming for something different

While other tech companies rush to dominate artificial intelligence with bold promises and uneven results, Apple is building something slower, quieter, and more durable. Out of curiosity I tested Apple Intelligence using the new Shortcuts action in iOS 26. Apple mentioned this feature at WWDC 2025, but it didn't get much attention during the keynote.…

Apple may need to acquire AI firms to boost Apple Intelligence

Financial firm Wedbush believes that WWDC practically demonstrates how Apple is executing its Apple Intelligence strategy, but without significant progress it may be forced into large scale AI acquisitions. Most investment and financial firms were underwhelmed by Apple's WWDC 2025 keynote, and that includes Wedbush. But in a note to investors seen by AppleInsider, Daniel…

At its WWDC event on 9 June 2025, Apple showed off the next version of macOS that will be making its way to desktops near you later in 2025. macOS Tahoe comes with some impressive new features, with productivity and personalisation at the heart of the upgrade. So, how does it compare to macOS Sequoia…

Why Mac power users should rush to upgrade to macOS 26 Tahoe this fall

When Apple announced macOS 26 Tahoe at WWDC this week, much of the attention rightly went to its Liquid Glass user interface redesign. It’s a massive change to the look and feel of the Mac operating system, and it’s the first time in years that anything this significant has happened to the visual style of…

Apple’s latest gaming efforts won’t move the needle

Believe it or not, Apple is already dominant in gaming. Most games, globally, are played on mobile phones, and despite the greater sales of Android-powered phones, the iPhone is the mobile gaming device. But it still feels like Apple is always looking to break through with real gamers. At WWDC this year, it had another…

Apple’s new Liquid Glass interface’s biggest problem? It’s not weird enough

The dust has settled, and another WWDC keynote is over. And in some ways I’m relieved, because the rumored cross-platform interface redesign turned out not to be quite as radical as some of us feared. But my feelings about Liquid Glass are complicated. Yes, it looks nice. No, in most cases (the Apple Watch’s Workout…

Apple needed to fix one thing at WWDC25 and it didn’t

At Monday’s WWDC keynote, Apple pretended 2025 was just another year. There was a lot of speculation about how Apple would frame this event (some of it from this pointy pontificator). Turns out it framed it pretty much like any other event. While the Macalope would have bet that Apple would choose to open with…
