Ken Pillonel, a freelance hardware prototyping consultant, designed a case that adds a Lightning port to the iPhone 17 Pro, allowing users to charge with existing Lightning cables.

It takes a week to switch phones. First, there's the technical process of moving eSIMs across devices, which takes either a few minutes or two days, a half-dozen calls to Verizon, and approximately 11,000 restarts of your phone.

Approximately 10 out of the 100 employees under his leadership had reportedly sought extended leaves of absence for mental health concerns since 2022.

It's not the basic MacBook. Or the cheap MacBook. Or the mini MacBook. It's the MacBook "Neo," meaning new or young-a fresh take on an old idea. Love the name or hate it, you likely see what Apple was attempting to communicate from a marketing perspective. It's meant to be a new kind of Mac for a new generation-perhaps an attempt to recapture a generation that's only been exposed to iPads and Chromebooks.

The A16 iPad sits in the perfect spot between elite-level features and great price. It easily outperforms other accessibly priced tablets, working smoothly and reliably for games, streaming, and everyday productivity chores like email and browsing. And it does it without the hefty price tag of the top-tier tables which may deliver more of a laptop-like performance, but at a laptop-level price. Not too expensive, not too chintzy with the features - it's just right.

This iPad has an A16 processor, designed to give users a fast app-opening experience, whether they are moving between programs like Safari, Messages, or games and creative apps. iPadOS allows users to run multiple apps simultaneously in a layout of their choice, for example, playing a video while keeping notes and a browser open. Because this iPad comes with 128 GB of internal storage, the user can download and store a variety of apps and files without needing to delete any items.

Another major upgrade is expected to be an OLED display, replacing the current LCD panels. A supply-chain report suggests Samsung is preparing OLED production for a device launching in the fall. Apple is aiming to move most of its premium devices to OLED over the next two years. Alongside the MacBook Pro, OLED is expected to come to the iPad Mini this year, with the MacBook Air following in 2027 or 2028.

The iPad Mini is my favorite Apple tablet for its size. It is small enough to pack alongside my laptop and powerful enough to rekindle my love for photo editing. But over the last two generations, I've wished Apple would offer a better screen, as the smudgy LCD panel isn't ideal for reading or color accuracy. That could finally happen as soon as this year.
