Nintendo did it. Sony did it. Even Sega did it. And now, Microsoft finally has launched its own dedicated handheld gaming device…kind of. Revealed yesterday during the summer Xbox Games Showcase, the Asus ROG Xbox Ally is closer to a Steam Deck than a PSP or Nintendo Switch. Essentially, it’s a spin on Asus’ existing […]

Finally, at WWDC 2025, Apple has done what I’ve been asking for for years. In addition to Liquid Glass, iPadOS 26 finally gives the iPad a proper, Mac-style window management system. You can now have multiple windows on the same screen, complete with a menu bar! And there are more features, like the Preview app, […]

During its WWDC 2025 keynote, Apple announced a ton of great features for iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS 26, and watchOS 26—but not all Apple devices are coming along for the ride. While the company has a great track record for supporting devices for years, some devices won’t be getting any of these updates. Here’s […]

While text messages are an easy way to communicate with people, one of the downsides is unsolicited or unwanted messages—particularly ones that are trying to scam you. But today at WWDC 2025, Apple introduced a new way to handle them in the Messages app. With iOS 26 (the new naming scheme for Apple’s software), the […]

The iOS 26 update announced at WWDC 25 isn’t just about the new Liquid Glass redesign. Apple is using this opportunity to redesign some fundamental features in the Phone and Messages apps, something that the company hasn’t done in, well, forever. Apple is clearly taking inspiration from Google’s Pixel phones here, bringing in call screening […]

iOS 26 is official: Apple finally announced the newest update for iPhones during WWDC 2025. After months of leaks and rumors, we now know that the new “Liquid Glass” redesign is real, the Camera app is getting its first major overhaul in years, and live translation is coming to all supported Apple devices. Apple isn’t […]

I admit, I do most of my work on Windows or Android, but if there’s one app I always miss from macOS, it’s Preview. This simple app, ostensibly an image-viewer, is also hands-down the best way to read and even (sometimes) edit PDFs. And at WWDC 2025, Apple announced that Preview is finally coming to […]

Although AirPods were just a side attraction at the WWDC 2025 keynote, Apple announced a couple of features that make the headphones a lot more useful. The company announced that you can now use your AirPods as a camera remote, and that AirPods will soon be getting “studio-quality” audio recording. These features are coming to […]

Apple announced a number of new features today during WWDC, and some of them might seem familiar—probably because you’ve seen them elsewhere before. It’s a particularly bad day for the team at Raycast, a widely popular Spotlight replacement that Mac power users know well. A number of that application’s best features—from an AI integration to […]

Apple’s annual WWDC event is here, and with it, a new macOS beta, complete with a new name and numbering scheme. There’s a lot that’s new this time around, actually, with Apple adopting a refreshed look across all of its operating systems. But you don’t need to wait to try it out. The latest version […]

Apple’s user interfaces are going to feature more transparency than ever before—literally. The company’s new design language—which was announced today at WWDC 2025 and will be incorporated on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Watch, and other Apple devices—is called “Liquid Glass.” The design incorporates transparency into almost every aspect of the user experience, which is going to […]

At WWDC today, Apple announced an extremely welcome feature for anyone who’s ever been frustrated with not knowing every language on Earth (like me). Live Translation will translate between many languages, and it will work directly inside Messages, FaceTime, and even during your calls through the Phone app. This feature looks similar to comparable features […]

Last year, Apple introduced Visual Intelligence, which uses your camera to translate text, identify objects, or start searches by pointing your phone at something. But if the thing you want to know about is on your phone instead of in front of it, you’ve been out of luck. Until today’s WWDC announcement, that is. The […]

During the WWDC 2025 keynote, Apple unveiled a big design revamp for iOS 26, the successor to iOS 18. The Liquid Glass redesign takes a lot from visionOS, and adopts a glass-like transparent look for key UI elements. Three apps that have benefited from this new look are Camera, Photos, and FaceTime. The Camera app […]
