Earlier this year, Apple launched a new for iPhone SE, 12, and 13 models that includes genuine Apple parts and tools for anyone willing to put in a lot of work to take their iPhone apart. With the iPhone 14, Apple has taken steps to make the whole process a lot easier.According to the teardown experts iFixit, Apple has the entire inside of the iPhone 14 for seemingly one reason: repairability. As the site explains, the iPhone 14 has been “reborn as a beautiful butterfly” with removable back glass and front glass. The internal components for the iPhone 14 are all mounted onto a new midframe...…Earlier this year, Apple launched a new for iPhone SE, 12, and 13 models that includes genuine Apple parts and tools for anyone willing to put in a lot of work to take their iPhone apart.

Back when Apple announced its transition from Intel processors in June 2020, it made a couple of promises that haven’t been fulfilled. Most notably, it said the transition would be completed “in about two years,” which is either four months or eight months behind schedule, depending on when you start counting. And in addition to vowing to “continue to support and release new versions of macOS for Intel-based Macs for years to come,” which it’s done, Apple also said it “has exciting new Intel-based Macs in development.” While we did get a new 27-inch iMac with 10th-generation Intel chips...…Back when Apple announced its transition from Intel processors in June 2020, it made a couple of promises that haven’t been fulfilled.

The monitor might be the most important part of your Mac’s setup–after all, you can’t use any computer without one. Because you’ll spend a lot of time looking at it, you’ll want to invest wisely. Not only will you want a monitor that provides a pleasing experience, but the quality of the images on the screen can also affect your work. However, picking a new monitor can be daunting. Not only are there lots of manufacturers to choose from, but there are also lots of sizes, resolutions, and features to consider–and when we say lots, we mean lots. We’re here to help guide you while you shop,...…The monitor might be the most important part of your Mac’s setup–after all, you can’t use any computer without one.

At the start of the year, we thought March might be one of the most significant months in Apple’s history. Persistent rumors claimed that Apple would unveil its long-awaited mixed reality headset, “Apple Reality Pro,” at a spring event, with a release scheduled toward the end of the year. Now, it appears as though the announcement has been pushed back to WWDC in June (or even later), which brings into question the entire point of having a spring event in the first place. There’s not a lot of other stuff to announce–a rumored 15-inch MacBook Air is still said to be coming this spring, but...…At the start of the year, we thought March might be one of the most significant months in Apple’s history.

Good news: There’s a yellow iPhone 14. Bad news: This probably means Apple has given up on the idea of an Apple spring event in 2023.We’ve suspected this for a while, in fact. Apple originally planned to focus on its long-awaited AR headset in this year’s spring event, but the latest round of rumored delays means that’s unlikely to happen. (I say “latest,” but that’s not quite true: even more reported delays mean the headset might not appear until the fall.) In the absence of the headliner, there was always a strong possibility that Apple would pull the event entirely.The launch of a new...…Good news: There’s a yellow iPhone 14.

Skip to contentHome / iPhone / ReviewsThe problem with the iPhone 14 Plus is its price. It’s a very good phone, a modest but welcome upgrade over the iPhone 13.

With the launch of the new iPhones and Apple Watches, the annual fall season of the latest Apple tech is now fully upon us. But though the September event may be the first and most prominent in the run-up to the holiday season, there’s almost certainly more waiting in the wings.When we look forward at what to expect from subsequent Apple announcements, it can be instrumental to look at the way Apple is positioning the products it’s already released this year.

Following a series of iPhone 15 leaks earlier this week that showed off a familiar design and display, followed by similar renders of the iPhone 15 Plus, the latest leak might be the most interesting of all: the exclusive colors for 2023. According to 9to5Mac, the hot new color for the iPhone 15 Pro this year will be dark red with a color hex of #410D0D. As you can see above, the shade much darker than the Product RED color Apple has had for years and looks like a variation of the “sunset” color that was previously rumored as far back as the iPhone 13.

Like so many of us, the iPhone SE peaked several years ago. The high point came in 2020, when its second-gen model secured the rare distinction, here and here, of being given gushing 4.5-star reviews by two separate Macworld editors. It was a simple and compelling deal: compromise on an older design, and in return, you get superb performance at a bargain price. With its mildly retro looks the 2020 SE wasn’t for everyone, but for those on a budget, it was well worth a recommendation. “Not Apple’s best iPhone,” wrote my colleague Jason Cross, “but its best value by a mile.” As is often the...…Like so many of us, the iPhone SE peaked several years ago.

Mobile World Congress was held this week, and if you’re an Apple fan, there was a flurry of interesting stories that you probably missed. MWC is basically an Android show, but there are still some releases and announcements that will be of interest to iPhone users. We’ve boiled a week’s worth of events down to just five announcements that Apple fans need to know:One of the biggest surprises of the show happened on day one. Android phone maker Xiaomi revealed a prototype for a pair of AR smart glasses with hand gestures, “retina-level” screens, and a fully wireless design.
