Apple fans around the world were watching the firm’s October event and they certainly weren’t disappointed, with the tech giant unveiling a host of exciting new products. MacBook Air The Air has been given a substantial upgrade, receiving a full redesign as well as a Retina display. The new 13.3in screen contains 4 million pixels and is surrounded by bezels that are 50 percent smaller than its predecessor’s. Additional features include Touch ID and Apple’s own T2 security chip – all powered by an eighth generation Intel i5 dual-core processor. The new MacBook Air will retail from £1,199. Mac Mini Apple’s diminutive Mac has had a substantial upgrade. The new Mini will have a four- or six-core CPU with up to 64GB of memory, making it up to five times…

Upgrading to a new iPhone is always an exciting process, but there’s one aspect that’s never fun: the cost. Apple’s latest crop of smartphones are the company’s most expensive yet, with the iPhone XS starting at £999, the iPhone XS Max at £1,099, and the iPhone XR at £749. And that’s only for the base models – if you want more storage, it’ll cost you more. Toss in extra fees for AppleCare+ (see page 57), and you’re suddenly dealing with some serious sticker shock. To help cushion the blow, a few years ago, Apple rolled out the iPhone Upgrade Programme, which allows customers to make monthly payments on the iPhone instead of buying the device in full up front. Even better, the Programme allows you to trade in your phone…

Provided you ignored the awful charging process, the Apple Pencil was a marvel of design – a stylus that looked, felt, and wrote much like an actual pen or pencil. That’s not to say it didn’t need some improvements (as we outlined in a wish list earlier this month), but adding them seem to run the risk of overcomplicating the simple elegance that made the Pencil such a joy to draw and write with. But with the Apple Pencil 2, Apple shows that it can significantly improve one of its trademark minimalist products without sacrificing much of its design’s power. Almost every new feature counts as an improvement over the previous model (although with some caveats). The only real drawbacks are the £30 price boost and the inability to use…

Last month Apple achieved a wonder: it made the iPad Pro exciting again. The new tablet is a USB-C-powered beast that plays nice with external gadgets without the need for dongles, and it comes with an updated, wirelessly charged Apple Pencil that checks off many of the boxes on our wish list. But it didn’t take long for the implications of this design shift to settle in. You can’t use the older Apple Pencil with the new iPad Pro, and you can’t use the new Pencil with the older models. It all looked too much like ‘Apple being Apple’, as some critics might say, as the Apple Pencil’s new design forces iPad Pro owners to buy a new version of a device they probably already bought within the last year…

Apple has released its earnings report for the fourth quarter ending on September 30. Overall revenue reached $62.9 billion, marking a 20 percent boost from the year-ago quarter, and quarterly earnings per diluted share amounted to $2.41, marking a 41 percent increase. International sales played a big role in this success story, as they were responsible for 61 percent of Apple’s revenue. This was a led by a 34 percent increase in revenue from Japan and by a 22 percent increase from the rest of east Asia. While there was plenty of good news, Apple stock fell by 7.3 percent in after-hours trading. That was enough to bring it below its famous $1 trillion valuation, particularly if it stays that way through the night. Part of the reason for the…

Price: £769 from fave.co/2PaVUaR We were lucky enough to be invited to Apple’s iPad Pro 2018 launch in New York, and spent some time trying out the devices (along with the new Apple Pencil) afterwards. Our hands-on review of the new iPad Pros, which focuses on the 11in model, is based on those first impressions (in simple terms, what is the tablet like to hold and use in real life?) and the specs and headline features announced on the night. We’ll have an in-depth review, featuring detailed battery and speed testing and our thoughts next month. Price The new iPad Pros are available to buy now. Instead of giving the surviving 2017 Pro model a price cut (the traditional approach), Apple has made the bold move of pricing this year’s…

Your Apple gear wasn’t cheap. And if you drop your iPhone, your iPad stops turning on one day, or your Mac’s hard drive just ups and dies on you, getting it repaired probably won’t be cheap either. Apple includes a one-year limited warranty with all hardware so if there’s a manufacturing defect, you’ll be covered. To also protect against accidental damage, plus extend the original warranty for longer and enjoy free tech support, you can opt to purchase AppleCare+. Here’s what it is, what it covers, and what you can expect to pay. Is AppleCare+ worth it? Only you can decide for your own situation, but this should be everything you need to know to make a smart choice. What is AppleCare+? AppleCare+ is Apple’s term for its warranty programmes.…

So it’s official. Photoshop – real Photoshop – is coming to the iPad next year. If you’re someone who uses Photoshop, uses the iPad to get work done, or both, this is big news. It’s a huge shot in the arm for the iPad Pro and another sign of where Apple’s platforms are going in the future. In 2019, iOS apps aren’t just coming to the Mac – one of the biggest and most important Mac apps is coming to iOS. The power of the familiar Most of the time when I mention Photoshop around my fellow computer nerds, it’s met with a raised eyebrow. Lots of tech people dislike Adobe’s pioneering of the software subscription route, and there are numerous alternatives to Photoshop out there. On the Mac alone,…

It’s another record quarter as a part of a record fiscal year for Apple. The revenue was nearly $63 billion, the profit more than $14 billion, and for the year Apple generated $265 billion in revenue and nearly $60 billion in profit. It’s the company’s eighth straight quarter of revenue growth, and that growth has accelerated every one of those quarters. This is a healthy company; you couldn’t find a healthier one if you tried. Yes, Apple’s stock is getting hit because its guidance – the amount of money it expects to make during the current quarter – is actually slightly below what Wall Street analysts were expecting. For the record, the revenue Apple has guided to – between $89 and $93 billion – would be the most revenue Apple…

When we took a look at the iPhone XS and XS Max performance in our reviews, we confirmed what we expected: they are not only the fastest iPhones ever made, but the fastest phones, period. Apple’s A12 Bionic just crushes every other phone processor. Now that the iPhone XR is available, with the same A12 Bionic processor running at the same speeds, we expect it to deliver similar performance in a package that costs £250 less. And because it’s a big phone with a big (for Apple) battery, and a much lower-resolution 1,792x828 pixel LCD display, it should deliver battery life that outpaces every other iPhone on the market. In other words, if you only cared about benchmarks, the cheapest new iPhone of 2018 would be the one to get.…

The iPad Pro has long been an impressive device (even if you weren’t so hot on that whole ‘what’s a computer’ bit), but if we’re being frank, it had become kind of boring. The past few years brought new features and new peripherals such as the Apple Pencil, but on the whole it felt little different from the device Steve Jobs showed us in 2010. That changes today. Apple’s latest iPad Pro retains the feel of the world’s most popular tablet, while refocusing it to cater to modern needs and introducing its most significant design change to date. Regardless of whether we’re talking about its ports, its display, or even its means of input, it’s better situated to be a desktop replacement than ever before. 1. Face ID removes the…

i Pads and iPhones are a great way to keep children entertained, and there are thousands of great apps for kids. However, it’s important to set up parental controls to prevent them accessing inappropriate content. Here we walk you through the settings and precautions you should set up before handing over an iPhone or iPad to a child. Screen Time As part of the iOS 12 update, Apple added a new suite of features called Screen Time, which enable you to monitor and limit your use of apps and websites. These are particularly useful for parents looking to keep tabs on their children’s usage, and we’re accordingly going to use them in this article. But if you’re still running iOS 11 (or earlier), don’t worry. That operating system has its…
