WWDC is fast approaching, and that means we’re getting ready for the next major update to macOS and iOS.

We can always debate what to expect, but there’s a more pressing problem: […]
Please, Don’t Take Touch ID Away from the iPhone 8
While the iPhone 8 rumor mill has been unusually quiet over the last several months, we’re finally starting to get some leaks.

What’s So Bad About the New MacBooks?
Apple’s much-ballyhooed “Hello Again” event last Thursday was promising. With the release of new Touch Bar-enabled MacBooks, Apple fans finally have something to be excited about.

Why We Need the 17-Inch MacBook Pro
During the WWDC in the summer of 2012, Apple unveiled its newest versions of its MacBook lineup.

Why iOS 8 Failed to Impress
iOS 8 has been with us for just under 1o days now, giving everyone enough time to install it and get our feet wet. While Apple calls this their biggest update to iOS since the app store, the truth is that the latest iteration of Apple’s mobile OS is lackluster at best. iOS 8 seems […]

3 Reasons Why the iWatch Will Never Happen
To say there’ve been a few rumors about Apple’s first foray into wearable tech would be the biggest understatement since someone said the iPhone was useful.

Why Apple’s Partnership with IBM is a Big Deal
Yesterday Apple and IBM announced plans to partner with one another to “transform enterprise mobility” and while this is a very nebulous statement, the implications for Apple’s future are pretty huge.

Does the New, Cheaper iMac Signal a Change for Apple?
Yesterday Apple released an update to their iMac lineup of computers that nobody saw coming. While there have been rumors that the guys and gals in Cupertino were looking to release a small update to the iMac lineup this week, the release of an entry-level 21.5″ iMac priced at $1,099 is a pretty big deal.
