AirPods 5 are a bigger change than the name suggests. Apple has made Active Noise Cancellation standard across both versions, while keeping the familiar open-ear design. The £119 model includes ANC, Adaptive Audio, Transparency mode and Live Translation, and Apple says its noise cancellation removes...

Apple has refreshed its watch line-up with the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4, and the biggest changes are under the skin rather than on the outside. Both models use Apple’s new S11 chip — not S12 — alongside a redesigned Health Sensing System. Apple says the new setup allows more fre...

Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are now official, with a smaller Dynamic Island, the new A20 Pro chip and a 48MP Fusion Main camera with variable aperture. The camera upgrade applies to both Pro models, so we’ve removed the earlier suggestion that the Pro Max had an exclusive camera feat...

Apple has finally entered the foldable-phone market with iPhone Duo, a £1,999 model built around a 7.6-inch folding inner display and a 5.4-inch outer screen. It is powered by the same A20 Pro chip used in the iPhone 18 Pro range, but the design is the real story. Apple says the Duo is its thinnest ...

Apple’s entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro could get a much bigger update than the usual chip swap in 2027. According to reporting from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is working on an M7 version of the 14-inch MacBook Pro for the first half of 2027. The machine is expected to adopt a new design similar...

MacBook Neo only arrived in March, but there are already reports about what Apple could change for the second generation. The most consistent rumour is an A19 Pro chip replacing the current A18 Pro, accompanied by 12GB of unified memory instead of 8GB. If that happens, the memory upgrade may be the ...

Siri AI is the headline addition to macOS 27 Golden Gate, but it is better thought of as a new starting point for Siri than a reason by itself to upgrade your Mac. Apple’s biggest change is conversation. Siri AI can handle open-ended questions and follow-ups, use personal context to find information...

With the new Mac mini and Mac Studio both arriving on 22 September, the question for most UK buyers is less about which machine is faster and more about whether they would actually use the extra performance they are paying for. Mac mini is the sensible starting point. The M6 model is designed for ev...

Apple has moved macOS 27 Golden Gate into its final pre-release stage ahead of the public launch on 14 September. Developers can now prepare apps using Xcode 27 Release Candidate and the latest SDKs. For ordinary Mac users, there is little reason to install pre-release software just to get the updat...

MacBook Neo is Apple’s cheapest route into a new Mac, starting at £599 for the 256GB model, with education pricing from £499. For the money, the hardware is more interesting than the price might suggest: a 13-inch Liquid Retina display, aluminium enclosure, A18 Pro chip and four finishes — silver, b...

Rosetta 2 has been one of the less visible reasons Apple’s move from Intel to Apple silicon went as smoothly as it did. It translates Intel-built Mac software so that older apps can continue to run on newer Macs. Apple has now confirmed that Rosetta is entering its final years as a general-purpose c...

macOS 27 Golden Gate arrives on 14 September, and this is the release that finally draws a line under Intel Macs. Apple’s own compatibility list is Apple silicon only: MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models from 2020 onwards, Apple silicon iMac and Mac mini models, Mac Studio, Apple silicon Mac Pro, plu...

Apple’s desktop Mac range gets two substantial updates on 22 September, with a new Mac mini and Mac Studio both already available to pre-order in the UK. Mac mini now comes with either M6 or M5 Pro. Apple says the M6 version delivers up to 40 per cent faster CPU performance than the M4 model, alongs...

Apple’s M5 MacBook Air is now on sale in the UK, and the update is more straightforward than our original story suggested. The 13-inch model starts at £1,099, not £999, while the 15-inch starts at £1,299. Education prices start at £999 and £1,199 respectively. Both sizes are available in sky blue, m...

Every Watch generation seems to lead with some new health sensor upgrade, this time it's a redesigned system for more accurate ECG readings. Genuinely curious how many people bought their Watch mainly for the health tracking versus just wanting a nice smartwatch. Do the yearly health sensor improv...

Noise cancellation moving to the base AirPods 5 instead of being locked behind the pricier models feels like a genuinely good change, even if wireless charging apparently got shuffled the other way as a trade-off. Anyone on regular AirPods actually planning to upgrade for the ANC alone, or is it n...

If you had to keep just one, would you rather lose the keyboard case or the Apple Pencil? I find myself typing far more than I draw or annotate, so the keyboard wins for me every time, but I know plenty of people use their iPad mainly for note-taking or sketching where the Pencil is the whole point....
