Macworld At a glance Expert's Rating Pros Innovative solar-power tech Comfortable, responsive keys Full-size keyboard, with numeric keypad Useful app for reprogramming Fn keys Cons A wired keyboard would be simpler No backlight Can’t adjust angle or height of keyboard LightCharge tech adds to the price Our Verdict Logitech’s LightCharge tech is innovative, but it adds to the cost of what is otherwise a fairly conventional Bluetooth keyboard. It’s well built, though, and comfortable to u...| Macworld - News, Tips & Reviews from the Apple Experts
Macworld We love Apple’s super compact 35W charger, but we don’t love its $59 price tag. We’ve shared numerous deals in the past, but we’ve never seen one this good: Amazon is selling Apple’s 35W dual-port charger for $29, a whopping savings of $30, more than half off its MSRP. This stylish Apple charger can deliver 35W charging, which is perfect for all of your Apple gear: iPad, Apple Watch, the new AirPods, the MacBook Air, and of course, fast-charging an iPhone. Since there are t...| Macworld - News, Tips & Reviews from the Apple Experts
Macworld If you don’t want to wait until Black Friday to get a deal on a new iPad you don’t have to! Amazon’s running another Prime Day sale from October 7 to 8 and we are expecting to see some good discounts on iPads, iPad Air, iPad mini and iPad Pro. With Apple expected to update the iPad Pro to the M5 chip soon, you may be considering holding off for that update, but we don’t expect much more than a chip upgrade, so our advice is to snap up any M4 iPad Pro deals. The only iPad we w...| Macworld - News, Tips & Reviews from the Apple Experts
Macworld Amazon’s second Prime Day, dubbed Prime Big Deal Days, runs October 7-8, and we’ll be tracking AirPods deals the whole time. During Amazon’s last Prime Day sale in July, AirPods were slashed to all-time low prices, and even with the launch of the AirPods Pro 3 just last month, we’re hoping to see even better deals during this sale. For the very best discounts across Apple’s entire product range, see our roundup of the Best Apple Prime Day Deals.

Macworld Amazon’s annual Prime Day sales events always bring some fantastic Apple Watch deals, and with three new models on the shelves, we’re keeping our eyes peeled for the first significant savings on the Apple Watch family of wearables. And of course, we’ll also be tracking any clearance deals on older Series 10 and Ultra 2 models. However, we don’t recommend buying an Apple Watch SE 2 unless it drops to $120 or so, because the SE 3 is a much better option, with an always-on displ...| Macworld - News, Tips & Reviews from the Apple Experts
Macworld A year ago, Macwelt (Macworld in Germany) surveyed Facebook readers about their iPhone charging behavior and found that the charging limit introduced by Apple contributed to the slowdown in battery ageing. This year, Macwelt asked about another factor in charging behavior: whether users prefer to charge their iPhones inductively or by cable, and whether this type has a significant impact on maximum capacity. Macwelt asked about charging behaviour on the Macwelt Facebook page and aske...| Macworld - News, Tips & Reviews from the Apple Experts

Macworld In June, Apple announced the opening of the new Apple Music studios in Los Angeles.

For the first time, Apple opened the doors of its new studio in L.A. to the media, and we were among the first to see what’s inside. From state-of-the-art recording studios to artist lounges and even a fully immersive room for mixing Dolby Atmos audio, here’s everything we saw at Ap...| Macworld - News, Tips & Reviews from the Apple Experts
Macworld Black Friday is just around the corner, but before we get there, Amazon has its own pre-holiday sale, Prime Big Deals Days, running October 7-8.

Macworld Most reviewers agree that Apple’s Vision Pro headset is an impressive piece of kit, but it has a number of weaknesses at present, foremost among them its weight and price. Which means there’s a great deal of interest in the lighter and cheaper version of the device which Apple is believed to be working on. If you’re among those eagerly awaiting that product, we have bad news: it appears to have been shelved. Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, usually a reliable analyst, claims tha...| Macworld - News, Tips & Reviews from the Apple Experts

Macworld Apple might have owned the Beats brand since 2014, but you wouldn’t know it by looking at the lineup. Over the past few years, Apple has largely kept the Beats identity intact. Last summer, Apple gave the Beats Pill speaker a new lease on life, and earlier this year, it gave the Powerbeats Pro 2 a heart-rate sensor before its own AirPods Pro. This week, Apple’s Beats launched the newest member of the non-AirPods family, the Powerbeats Fit. If Powerbeats Fit look familiar, that’...| Macworld - News, Tips & Reviews from the Apple Experts
Macworld Beats unveiled its new Powerbeats Fit earbuds on Tuesday, the latest addition to the Powerbeats family. Apple invited Macworld to try out the product, and during the event, we also had the chance to chat with Oliver Schusser, the VP of Apple Music and Beats. A mainstay in Apple’s music division for more than two decades, Schusser has worked in the film and music industry for years. Prior to Apple, he worked for Universal and BMG, as well as VP of Napster and Vodaphone. In 2004, Sch...| Macworld - News, Tips & Reviews from the Apple Experts
Macworld It’s no secret that the iPhone has matured, with dramatic innovations now arriving only every several years. The regular iPhone 17 adopting past Pro exclusives is a clear admission that we’re approaching the iPhone’s final form. As such, Pro users on an annual upgrade cycle often find little to be impressed by—and this year appears to be no different. While one could easily distinguish the iPhone 16 Pro Max from the 17 Pro Max visually, the actual upgrades this year are relat...| Macworld - News, Tips & Reviews from the Apple Experts

iPhone sales are important! That’s about as obvious as a dog-bites-man statement can get. This year, early reports suggest sales of the iPhone 17 might be a little better than expected, but there’s no accompanying surge for the iPhone Air. What does it all mean?! On one level, not a lot: Apple’s still going to sell a zillion iPhones, in the end. The profits will roll on.
