We’ve had our shiny new iPhone 15 and 15 Pro phones for about a month now, and we have seen a slew of new accessories released. The combination of MagSafe and the new USB-C port has opened the door to some new accessory categories. So, I created a nice roundup of my 15 favorite accessories for the iPhone 15 lineup. Let’s get into it.

I recently came across this post from AppleHub on X, formerly known as Twitter, which showed off a render of an iPad beginning to fold in half. At first glance, it looked great. Who wouldn’t want their iPad Pro to fold in half, right? But then, as I started to think about how I use my iPad, I began to wonder if I would actually like that – would you?

Update: The resolution? A confirmation email that my trade-in has been accepted. No other acknowledgement that anything out of the ordinary happened, but best possible outcome for me.

We’ve been hearing claims about folding iPhones and folding iPads for years now, with the latest supply chain report saying that it could launch as soon as 2024.

Today’s report echoes earlier ones, stating that Apple will launch a foldable iPad ahead of a folding iPhone …

In his latest prediction of things that aren’t happening next year, Ming-Chi Kuo shares a brief research note on how soon Apple could implement resin coated copper (RCC) components in the iPhone.

Apple makes a range of iPhone accessories from cases and adapters to AirPods and Apple Watch. But as it happens, the second-most popular add-on for iPhone owners is something Apple has never made. Is it time for an Apple-made iPhone screen protector?

You know something’s bad when you’re about to write a feature request and then realise you already did do, more than a year go. Some 18 months after I asked Apple to fix the awful iPhone jiggle mode, nothing has changed, so consider this my renewed plea.

It was travel which brought it to mind last time, while this time around it was just doing a small rejig of my Home screen to remove a couple of apps I use less frequently, replacing them with ones I now use more often …

Every year, when Apple releases a major new version of iOS 17 (and a new iPhone), users end up finding some weird bugs that are usually fixed with software updates.

FEMA is required to conduct these national tests of the Public Alert and Warning System at least once every three years. The last national test was conducted back in 2021.
