Tue, 11 Jul 2023 18:40:17 GMT en-US hourly 60 Apple has established itself as the leader in the premium tablet department, with several models with various price tags, sizes, and specifications. This allows all kinds of customers to find a fit that matches their personal needs and budget. If you've been contemplating buying a new iPad, then now's the right time to act. Prime Day is here, and so are the huge discounts on Apple products.

]]> Tue, 11 Jul 2023 18:40:17 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/prime-day-ipad-deals/ The latest Apple products don't often see discounts, let alone huge ones. However, thanks to some Prime Day deals, you can own the latest Apple Watch Series 8 and save up to $120 in the process. So if you've been eyeing a new Apple Watch, now's the time to act.

]]> Tue, 11 Jul 2023 18:31:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/apple-watch-series-8-prime-day/ Apple first previewed iOS 17, along with macOS Sonoma and watchOS 10, during WWDC23. Since then, the company has been seeding beta OS builds to those enrolled in its developer program. Last week, we got our hands on the third betas of these systems, and now Apple has issued revised versions of them.

]]> Tue, 11 Jul 2023 18:02:50 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/revised-ios-17-beta-3/ Apple products are undoubtedly some of the best, most durable devices out there. Not only are they tightly tied through the company's unrivaled ecosystem, but they also receive software updates for many years. This turns them into future-proof investments that tend to retain their resale value. As a result, these electronic goods rarely see major discounts when compared to products from other popular manufacturers. Today's your lucky day, however, as Prime Day has arrived, and Amazon has some excellent Apple products on sale.

]]> Tue, 11 Jul 2023 16:35:10 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/prime-day-apple-deals/ If you want a compact tablet powerful enough to breeze through most day-to-day tasks and some basic productivity, you can't go wrong with the latest iPad Mini. And you should buy it right away, as it's down to its lowest price yet for Prime Day. The iPad Mini 6 usually retails for around $500, but you can snag it at a 24% discount ($120 off) for a limited time. That brings it down to just $380, which is a great price for what's essentially one of the best tablets currently on the market.

]]> Tue, 11 Jul 2023 14:19:37 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/prime-day-apple-ipad-mini-deal/ Prime Day has arrived, and so have the excellent Apple deals. Whether you're looking for a new iPad or Apple Watch, there are some huge discounts available. Notably, though, Amazon is also selling some official Apple accessories, including the Apple Pencil 2, for a fraction of their price.

]]> Tue, 11 Jul 2023 14:01:37 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/apple-pencil-prime-day-2023/ Apple products are infamous for their priciness, as other brands often sells similar variants for cheaper price tags. Though, what sets an Apple device apart is its premium build and high resale value. So when you buy one of the company's products, you're investing in a future-proof item that will likely last you for many years. And thanks to Prime Day deals, you can actually save big on some Apple devices, including its pricey adapters.

]]> Tue, 11 Jul 2023 12:16:10 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/apple-usb-c-adapters-prime-day-2023/ Apple products don't often see discounts, let alone major ones.

These updates went out as iOS 16.5.1 (a), iPadOS 16.5.1 (a), and macOS Ventura 13.4.1 (a). Despite it being a critical update, as of now, there are no notes with regard to what has been fixed. So if you are using any of these devices and are running the latest version of the OS, it might be a good idea to check for updates to ensure that you have the Rapid Security Response downloaded to your product.

]]> Mon, 10 Jul 2023 22:13:40 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/apple-rapid-security-response-ios-1651/ Apple products don't often see major discounts, as the company has a loyal user base that will buy them anyway. Despite that, on rare occasions, you can invest in some of its premium devices for lower price tags. And that's exactly why you should claim this AirPods 3 deal before Prime Day ends.

]]> Mon, 10 Jul 2023 20:30:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/airpods-3-prime-day-2023/ When a user buys one of the latest tablets, such as the iPad Air 5, they often consider pairing it with a stylus. After all, an iPad is a wide canvas that you can easily rely on for drawings or handwritten content. However, picking the right stylus can be challenging, especially now that there are all sorts of different models, with each offering a unique set of capabilities and price tag.

Despite that, it's still an excellent tablet for those who don't want to overspend on a glass slab. Not only does it support iPadOS 17 and its rich features, but it also is a great entertainment and education hub. You can use it to read, type, research, game, binge-watch, listen to music, and much more. It's also perfect for controlling your smart HomeKit appliances. Though, like any other tablet, you must protect the iPad 9 with a case. After all, accidents occur, and a single drop could smash its delicate body. To help you maximize its durability, we've listed some of the best iPad 9 cases currently available.

]]> Sat, 08 Jul 2023 17:00:37 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-ipad-9-cases/ The iPad 9 is the best tablet for Apple users on a budget. While it doesn't pack the latest and greatest technology, it still supports iPadOS 17. And, in general, it's a versatile device capable of handling productivity and entertainment tasks alike. Even better, you may be able to own a unit for an even cheaper price. All you have to do is claim one of the limited-time iPad 9 deals we've listed below.

These include the classic chassis with thick bezels, inferior cameras, and more. Despite that, it's still safe to buy an iPhone SE 3 if you're on a budget, as it supports the latest iOS 17 and could last you for years to come. Though, you may want to know that its box does not include a charger. This means that you will have to invest in a charging brick separately. To help you make a smart purchase, we've compiled a list of the best iPhone SE 3 chargers and cables currently available.

]]> Thu, 06 Jul 2023 00:00:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-apple-iphone-se-3-chargers/ AT&T has superb nationwide network coverage, so it's naturally one of the most popular carriers.

]]> Wed, 05 Jul 2023 19:00:05 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-phones-att/ Following months of speculation and anticipation, iOS 17 beta 1 was released to developers during WWDC23. And as our hands-on reveals, iOS 17 is a somewhat minor update, especially if you don't actively rely on iMessage and FaceTime to communicate with your social circle. Despite that, though, there are still plenty of smaller additions across the system, and Apple continues to introduce more with every new beta version. So now that iOS 17 beta 3 is available to those enrolled in the Apple Developer Program, it's time to delve into this build and observe the changes and new features it potentially packs.

]]> Wed, 05 Jul 2023 17:08:59 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/ios-17-beta-3/ The iPhone 14 is the best iPhone for non-Pro users. While it doesn't offer all features included with the higher-end models, it still supports iOS 17 and offers a reliable, premium experience. This turns it into a future-proof investment that could last you for many years. Though, naturally, you're also expected to take good care of it to maximize its life expectancy. This includes shielding its display with a screen protector. Now, we know that hunting for the perfect product can be tiresome. So we've compiled a list of the best iPhone 14 screen protectors to help you out.

]]> Wed, 05 Jul 2023 14:30:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-apple-iphone-14-screen-protectors/ Apple's iPad Pro is one of the best tablets you can buy right now, and it also represents the best of the company's iPad lineup. Apple is yet to refresh its Pro lineup for 2023, but the 2022 models come with many noteworthy upgrades over its predecessor, including one of the newer M2 chips, improved cameras, and the new Apple Pencil hover features. They also come in two sizes: a smaller one with an 11-inch panel and a relatively bigger model with a 12.9-inch display. Regardless of your pick, you get a beautiful mini-LED backlit Liquid Retina display with Apple's ProMotion technology for faster refresh rates.

]]> Wed, 05 Jul 2023 01:00:20 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-apple-ipad-pro-screen-protectors/ The Apple AirPods 3 launched back in late 2021, introducing a cleaner design and a number of new features and technologies. These include Spatial Audio, water resistance, a longer battery life, MagSafe charging support, and more. Despite these earbuds being solid, they're still prone to get damaged. After all, accidents occur all the time, especially when you least expect them to.

]]> Tue, 04 Jul 2023 23:00:20 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-airpods-3-cases/ The Apple Watch Ultra comes with an LTPO OLED display, but Apple is tipped to switch to a micro-LED screen for its flagship smartwatch in the near future. While earlier reports suggested that the change could happen in 2025, a new report now claims that the timeline has been delayed to 2026. There's no word currently on when (or if) Apple intends to switch its more affordable smartwatches to micro-LED in the foreseeable future.

]]> Tue, 04 Jul 2023 15:31:54 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/apple-watch-ultra-micro-led-2026/ For many users, the iPhone 14 Pro is the best iPhone available on the market. This excellent phone not only ditches the infamous notch but it also introduces AOD support. Despite these display upgrades, though, its screen is still somewhat fragile and susceptible to scratches and cracks. Fortunately, you can invest in a screen protector to keep your iPhone 14 Pro's display fresh. To help you find a suitable pick, we've highlighted some of the best options available below.

]]> Tue, 04 Jul 2023 14:01:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-apple-iphone-14-pro-screen-protectors/ While not the latest from Apple, the AirPods Pro 1 are undoubtedly among the best wireless earbuds for new iPhone users. Despite the company selling a second-gen model, the original pair still offers most of the technology included in the newer one. This means that the AirPods Pro 1 are a future-proof investment that could last you for years. That's, of course, assuming you take good care of the product. This is why we advise you to buy a protective case for your AirPods Pro 1, as it could both shield it from damage and freshen up its appearance. To help you out, we've picked some of the best AirPods Pro 1 cases currently available.

]]> Tue, 04 Jul 2023 10:01:17 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-airpods-pro-cases/ In late 2022, Apple launched an M2-powered iPad Pro in 11-inch and 12.9-inch variants. While the 2021 iPad Pro was a significant upgrade over the 2020 model, the 2022 version only came with minor differences; this time around, the company didn't change much, apart from bumping the chip from M1 to M2 and introducing an Apple Pencil hover feature. Other than those tweaks, this tablet retains pretty much all the technical specifications of its predecessor. This means that the dimensions are identical. Thus, cases designed for the 2021 model will work perfectly on the 2022 variant and vice versa. And considering its high price tag, you really should invest in a case. Otherwise, a single drop could cost you hundreds of dollars in repairs. To simplify the process for you, we've picked some of the best iPad Pro 12.9-inch cases currently available.

]]> Mon, 03 Jul 2023 21:00:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-ipad-pro-cases/ The iPad Mini 6 is an excellent iPad for those seeking the ultimate portability.

Though, expectedly, it's prone to damages caused by everyday accidents. Fortunately, you can invest in a case that will not only protect it but also freshen up its exterior look. Expectedly, there are tons of different case brands and styles out there, so we will simplify your hunt by highlighting our favorites.

]]> Mon, 03 Jul 2023 19:00:20 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-ipad-mini-6-cases/ Apple launched the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro towards the end of 2022. And now that these two new iPhones are no longer as new, it's time to shift our attention to the company's upcoming releases. We've been reading rumors about the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro for many months. So at this point, we have a solid idea of what to expect (and not to expect) in these flagships. To narrow down your search, we've compiled the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max rumors below. That's in addition to our personal wishlist for these devices.

]]> Mon, 03 Jul 2023 15:00:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/apple-iphone-15-pro/ The iPhone 14 Pro is the showstopper in Apple's 2022 iPhone lineup. It's packed with a ton of exciting features and improvements over its predecessor, including a pill-shaped notch that enables Dynamic Island, an Always-On display, a powerful A16 Bionic chip, and upgraded cameras. It also uses durable materials like a ceramic shield front, stainless steel frame, and Gorilla Glass, but an accidental drop on a hard surface can leave you with a broken iPhone, forcing you to visit the Apple Store for repairs. I highly recommend protecting your phone with one of the best cases out there if you don't want to burn a huge hole in your wallet.

To help you find a suitable case and potentially save hundreds of dollars in repairs, we've compiled a list of the best iPhone 14 Pro Max cases.

]]> Fri, 30 Jun 2023 19:59:49 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-apple-iphone-14-pro-max-cases/ Despite their 2021 debut, the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro are still two of the best iPhones out there. Though, in spite of their premium builds, they feature pretty delicate displays that are prone to scratches and cracks. This means that a single drop could potentially shatter the entire panel and cost you hundreds of dollars in repairs. Fortunately, you can add a shield to your iPhone by investing in one of these excellent iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro screen protectors.

]]> Thu, 29 Jun 2023 19:30:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-iphone-13-pro-screen-protectors/ I’m one of those people who took forever to finally add my credit and debit cards to my Apple Wallet. But even then, I wasn’t really using it often. I would forget it was there or just didn’t bother. It was only after getting an Apple Watch that I truly realized the benefits of Apple Wallet, both with the Watch and my iPhone. Why hadn’t I been doing this all along? I use Apple Wallet now often for all types of payments from both the Watch and my iPhone 14, and I can’t remember how I lived without it.

]]> Thu, 29 Jun 2023 18:00:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/5-reasons-apple-wallet-is-a-game-changer-for-me/ The iPad Pro M2 is undoubtedly Apple's best tablet to date.

Though, unlike the Apple Watch Ultra, the Series models are quite delicate. So swinging your arm and accidentally landing the smartwatch on a rough surface could shatter it, leaving you with a hefty repair bill. Fortunately, though, you can invest in a protective case for your Apple Watch. Some of these cases even Apple Watch bands, turning them into multifunctional accessories. To help you find the best pick, we've listed some excellent options below.

]]> Wed, 28 Jun 2023 20:01:36 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-apple-watch-cases/ The AirPods 3 are the best wireless earbuds for iPhone users on a budget.

So to help you save some bucks, we've listed below the best iPad Air 5 deals currently available.

]]> Tue, 27 Jun 2023 19:30:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-apple-ipad-air-5-deals/ The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro are the latest iPhones to date. With that said, though, they're also reaching the end of their cycle. As you may already know, Apple releases one line of flagship phones per year, and that typically occurs in the fall. So a new batch of iPhones could launch in a quarter a year or so. Now, you must be curious about these upcoming releases, so we've detailed everything we know and want to see in the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus.

That's why if you plan to buy an iPhone 14, consider bundling it with a case, as an unprotected device typically won't last you as long. Software updates don't only provide you with the latest security patches and bug fixes, though. They also introduce new features that make your mighty device even more powerful. One example is the Personal Voice feature included in iOS 17 and iPadOS 17. So what does this addition do, and how to use it? Let's find out.

]]> Tue, 27 Jun 2023 12:00:20 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/how-use-personal-voice-ios/ The Apple Watch Ultra reflects the company's commitment to wearables over the past decade. While the latest Apple Watches are now pretty much portable computers, they weren't as advanced at first. Early editions heavily relied on iPhone connectivity to work. Initially, there was no App Store on watchOS, and it took years for third-party apps to run on these smartwatches without relying on iOS.

This means that a single drop could shatter your iPhone's front and back. Fortunately, though, you could invest in a case that both protects and freshens up your iPhone 13 Pro's outer shell. To help you out, we've picked some of the best options available and listed them below.

]]> Mon, 26 Jun 2023 14:30:20 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-iphone-13-pro-cases/ Standby mode is one of the most notable features introduced in iOS 17. For those unfamiliar, this addition allows you to turn your iPhone into a smart display of sorts when you're charging it in landscape mode. So, for example, when you place your iPhone 14 sideways on a MagSafe charging stand, it'll display a large clock, calendar, weather forecast, and other widgets that you can customize. It can also surface photos, Live Activities, the Now Playing screen, and more. Despite it being a handy offering, though, I have stopped using it on my iPhone 14 Pro.

]]> Mon, 26 Jun 2023 13:00:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/why-not-using-standby-ios/ Following the recent announcement of its Vision Pro mixed reality headset, Apple is said to be working on a slew of products to be launched over the next year or so. That includes the iPhone 15 lineup which is expected to debut later this year alongside two Apple Watch Series 9 models and the second-generation Apple Watch Ultra.

That's why we advise you to save some bucks by grabbing one of the iPhone 14 deals below.

]]> Sun, 25 Jun 2023 01:00:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-apple-iphone-14-deals/ Similar to how some excellent cases can shield your iPad Pro, Apple Keychain is a digital vault that stores and protects your passwords. At first, this feature was very basic, allowing users to save usernames and passwords only. Throughout the years that followed, though, it gained support for 2FA code generation, notes, Passkeys, and more. Though, one core functionality had been missing until now — the ability to share passwords with other people.

]]> Sat, 24 Jun 2023 18:00:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/how-use-shared-password-groups-ios/ Available on all new Apple Watch models, watchOS 9 is Apple's major 2022 OS update for its line of wearables. And while this version has almost reached the end of its cycle, the Cupertino firm has still been issuing minor builds to patch some of the leftover bugs before the next release debuts publicly. Below you will find everything you need to know about watchOS 9, including its compatibility, new features, and more.

Not only does it pack the mighty A15 Bionic chip, but it also supports a wide variety of advanced photography features. Though, expectedly, this glass sandwich is susceptible to cracks and scratches, especially if you tend to drop your phone. And a broken iPhone certainly loses its premium feel and shine. Fortunately, you can shield your investment by buying one of the excellent cases we've listed below.

]]> Fri, 23 Jun 2023 19:00:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-iphone-13-cases/ Plenty of new features are coming to the iPhone with iOS 17 this fall, including some in the Camera app. While it's already a great tool with tons of customizability options and pro camera modes, some might argue that it still isn’t quite up to the same standards as some of the best Android smartphone cameras. Nonetheless, there’s no denying that you can take awesome photos with an iPhone if you take the time to frame them nicely and choose the proper settings.

]]> Fri, 23 Jun 2023 13:00:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/essential-photography-tips-iphone/ The latest smartphones, including Apple's excellent iPhones, double as wallets. This means that many users no longer have to carry around physical wallets, purses, or even keys, thanks to the advanced integrations and increasingly expanding support. Two popular digital wallets are Samsung Wallet and Apple Wallet, with each being available on its respective company's smartphones. So, what's the difference between the two, and which is better? Let's take a look.

]]> Thu, 22 Jun 2023 20:50:42 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-wallet-vs-apple-wallet/ Just like an iPad Pro case protects your premium tablet, 2-factor authentication (2FA) shields your online accounts. Apart from the typical username and password, 2FA requires a one-time code that you can receive through SMS, email, or other means. Once inserted into the field, a 2FA code becomes useless, and it's safe to discard its message. Through iOS 17 and iPadOS 17, your iPhone 14 or other compatible iDevices can automatically delete texts and emails containing 2FA codes after you insert them. This feature clears your inboxes and spares you the need to delete these messages manually. Though, first, you will have to enable it, and we've detailed how through the steps below.

]]> Thu, 22 Jun 2023 18:00:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/how-automatically-delete-2fa-ios/ watchOS 10 overhauls the navigation system on the latest Apple Watches, including the Apple Watch Ultra. This means that the gestures and buttons you used to utilize on watchOS 9 may no longer work as expected, as the actions have been remapped. Worry not, though. We're here to tell you exactly what each button and gesture now do.

]]> Wed, 21 Jun 2023 22:00:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/watchos-navigation-explained/ Apple's refined its mobile products to a point where no matter what you purchase, you will have a great experience. The company's iPad lineup is now full of different options. Whether you're looking for a laptop replacement or just need something to enjoy games and streaming videos, Apple's got you covered at a variety of different price points. The iPad 9 is the most affordable iPad out of the bunch, and it usually comes in priced at $330. But for a limited time, you can grab this tablet for $80 off, bringing it down to one of its lowest prices ever.

]]> Wed, 21 Jun 2023 21:05:39 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/apple-ipad-9-250-deal/ Following months of speculation and anticipation, iOS 17 beta 1 was released to developers during WWDC23. And as our hands-on reveals, iOS 17 is a somewhat minor update, especially if you don't actively rely on iMessage and FaceTime to communicate with your social circle. Despite that, though, there are still plenty of smaller additions across the system, and Apple continues to introduce more with every new beta version. So now that iOS 17 beta 2 is available to those enrolled in the Apple Developer Program, it's time to delve into this build and observe the changes and new features it potentially packs.

]]> Wed, 21 Jun 2023 20:20:42 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/ios-17-beta-2/ While Apple tests iOS 17 with developers and enthusiasts, the company is still issuing minor iOS 16 updates to smoothen out the experience and patch last-minute bugs on its new iPhones. A few weeks ago, the Cupertino firm released iOS 16.5 to the public, which introduced an issue that impacts certain accessories. Apple has now issued iOS 16.5.1 as a bug-fixing update to address the problem.

]]> Wed, 21 Jun 2023 17:41:22 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/ios-16-5-1/ It's true that smartphones are getting bigger and better with larger displays, especially when you consider the excellent foldable phones out now, but they're not quite ready to replace tablets just yet. Tablets are still the perfect companions to have alongside your smartphone, laptop, or PC, as they let you work on things more effectively. The best tablets are the ones that are big enough to keep you entertained when you fire up your favorite apps and games, but not so much that it becomes a hassle to carry them around. You should also pick the ones with a wealth of productivity apps and features to help you get some light work done when you are away from your desk. Choosing the right tablet, however, can be tricky because there are a lot of options that fit the bill.

]]> Wed, 21 Jun 2023 11:00:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-tablets/ Apple has put a lot of thought into how users will interact with Vision Pro. Traditional inputs from a keyboard, trackpad, controller, and voice are all options, but Apple really wants its users to use their eyes and hands with its upcoming device, creating a more personal and connected experience. Of course, there are a lot of unanswered questions at this point, and there's also been plenty of folks chiming in with their thoughts about the device. So it's always interesting to get a viewpoint from someone that's heavily invested in the space, like Andrew Hart, who is the founder of Hyper, a company that creates indoor AR experiences for retail.

]]> Tue, 20 Jun 2023 00:40:16 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/apple-vision-pro-gestures-and-interactions/ The Apple Watch hasn't changed a lot over the last few years, but they've definitely gotten better and offer some noteworthy features now. The Apple Watch Series 8 is currently one of the best smartwatches you can buy, and it's available alongside the rugged Apple Watch Ultra and the relatively affordable Apple Watch SE 2. The Apple Watch Ultra comes with all the bells and whistles, but the standard Series 8 model is the one to get if you just want all the latest Apple Watch features without paying a premium. So if you're looking to buy an Apple Watch Series 8 and are wondering where to find the best deals, then check out the listings below.

]]> Tue, 20 Jun 2023 00:00:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-apple-watch-series-8-deals/ The iPhone 14 Plus is essentially a bigger version of the regular iPhone 14, and it's perfect for those who want a bigger screen without spending upwards of $1,000 on the iPhone 14 Pro Max model. It sports a massive 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR display, which paves the way for a more immersive media consumption experience. But the bigger display also increases the overall footprint of the device, making it harder to hold and use with one hand. You may have difficulty getting used to the Plus variant coming from a smaller phone, so I highly recommend protecting it with a case and a screen protector.

]]> Mon, 19 Jun 2023 21:00:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-apple-iphone-14-plus-screen-protectors/ Apple's annual WWDC keynote this year was packed with a ton of exciting announcements, and it's safe to say that it did not disappoint. In addition to the new Vision Pro mixed-reality headset, Apple also previewed the new version of iOS, which, as is usually the case, sparked the not-so-friendly iOS vs. Android debate. Anybody who follows the post-keynote conversation on social media after an Apple, Samsung, or Google event knows what I'm talking about, right? Everybody has an opinion on which OS is falling behind the other.

]]> Mon, 19 Jun 2023 15:00:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/waiting-android-apple-health-wellness/ The iPhone 13 Pro Max is no longer the latest iPhone out there. Despite that, it's still one of the best phones on the market, offering the A15 Bionic chip, a Pro camera system, and a premium design. Though, expectedly, its build is susceptible to damage and cracks. After all, it's a glass sandwich with a stainless steel border that scratches easily. Fortunately, you can invest in a case that protects its exterior and freshens up its appearance. To help you out, we've compiled a list of the best iPhone 13 Pro Max cases below.

]]> Mon, 19 Jun 2023 14:31:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-iphone-13-pro-max-cases/ There are some great new features coming to iPhone with the iOS 17 update this fall. Many of these features relate to the way you communicate with the phone, which includes not only audio and video calls but also text-based messaging. As someone who communicates daily in a multitude of ways from my iPhone 14, there are a few features in particular that I’m especially excited about. Some of these are simple updates but could make a world of difference in the long run.

]]> Mon, 19 Jun 2023 13:00:24 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/5-upcoming-iphone-communication-features/ There's no denying that the latest Apple Watches are some of the best smartwatches out there. Though, for years, users have echoed their complaints about one particular shortcoming — the lack of third-party watch face support. That's right; watchOS users get to rely only on the faces that Apple has baked into the operating system, and nothing else. Following an eternity of speculation and unfulfilled hopes, Apple executives have finally revealed why this highly-requested feature is not being supported on the company's line of wearables.

]]> Mon, 19 Jun 2023 12:38:21 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/apple-avoiding-third-party-face-watchos/ If you recently bought a new iPhone and are seeking the best wireless earbuds, then the AirPods Pro 2 are an excellent option. Not only do they pack some of the company's latest audio technology, but they also offer a competitively compact design. Expectedly, though, these premium earbuds aren't cheap. But you may be able to save big if you grab one of the limited-time deals we've listed below.

]]> Mon, 19 Jun 2023 11:00:20 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-apple-airpods-pro-2-deals/ The Apple Watch SE 2 launched along with the Apple Watch Ultra as a valid option for those on a budget. And considering it's still a new Apple Watch, it supports watchOS 10 and the exciting additions it packs. This makes it a solid smartwatch for those who don't want to spend a fortune on a wearable. Fortunately, you could even spend less on an Apple Watch SE 2 if you act fast and claim one of the excellent deals we've listed below.

]]> Mon, 19 Jun 2023 09:00:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-apple-watch-se-2-deals/ The Apple Watch Ultra is the most powerful Apple Watch currently available. Unlike the Series 8, it features a rugged design, a bright 49mm display, exclusive band options, and much more. Furthermore, it supports watchOS 10 and all of its included additions. So, basically, it's a future-proof investment and one of the best wearables you can get your hands on. Expectedly, though, the Apple Watch Ultra costs a fortune, but these deals could help you save big if you act fast.

]]> Sun, 18 Jun 2023 14:30:21 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-apple-watch-ultra-deals/ By default, when you buy an Apple Watch Series 8, the Cupertino firm includes a dull band that matches the smartwatch's finish. So despite it being the latest Apple Watch and launching alongside the Apple Watch Ultra, you don't receive a more appealing band, such as the Alpine Loop, Ocean Band, or Trail Loop. Fortunately, though, you can invest in a first- or third-party band separately, and we've highlighted the best options available for the Apple Watch Series 8.

]]> Sun, 18 Jun 2023 11:00:20 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-apple-watch-8-bands/ The iPhone 14 Pro Max is the best iPhone released to date. And with iOS 17, Apple is further boosting this smartphone through a fresh set of new features and utilities. These include Standby, an all-new mode that transforms your iPhone into a smart display sort of device when it's charging in landscape orientation. So how do you set Standby mode up and use it? Let's find out!

]]> Sat, 17 Jun 2023 18:00:20 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/how-use-standby-ios/ Apple makes some amazing hardware and is perhaps best known for its iPhones and Macs. But the company also makes some excellent audio products, with the AirPods Max being one of the best noise-canceling headphones you can buy. The headphones usually cost $549 but can now be had for $100 off, coming in at $450. This is an excellent deal if you've been looking to grab some personal audio gear that's going to take your music and movies to the next level.

]]> Fri, 16 Jun 2023 23:07:28 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/apple-airpods-max-save-100-deal/ The iPhone has some neat options you can use in the Photos app, and plenty more coming with iOS 17, which can be downloaded to the latest devices like the iPhone 14 as well as older models dating back to the iPhone XR this fall. One of the tools that has been around for a few generations is called Markup. With this creative and useful tool, you can do tons of things both with your Photos as well as documents. You can create fun photos to post to social media and share with friends, sign documents, add relevant details, and more. Want to learn more about what you can do with Markup on iPhone? Here’s a comprehensive guide that covers it all.

]]> Fri, 16 Jun 2023 20:00:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/guide-markup-photos-ios/ The iPhone 14 is one of the best iPhones on the market. Not only does it feature some of Apple's latest technology, but it also has a long lifetime thanks to OS updates. Though, running the latest software may not be enough to guarantee several years of active use. After all, unfortunate accidents happen all the time, and they could damage your flagship smartphone.

]]> Fri, 16 Jun 2023 19:00:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-apple-iphone-14-cases/ iOS 17 brings plenty of communication upgrades to the latest iPhones. So whether you have an iPhone 14 Pro or a slightly older model, you can take advantage of these additions when you update. One of the notable offerings in this department is Contact Posters. For those unfamiliar, this fresh feature allows you to customize the call screen that appears on other users' iPhones, including the photo, name, typeface, style, pronouns, and more. This way, you can present yourself and express your identity based on your taste and preferences. To create a Contact Poster, all you have to do is follow the steps we've listed below.

]]> Thu, 15 Jun 2023 18:00:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/how-create-contact-poster-ios/ The iPhone 14 Plus is one of the best iPhone models currently available. Featuring a 6.7-inch display, this flagship phone caters to those who prefer larger screens. Unlike the iPhone 14 Pro, though, it misses out on the Dynamic Island and some higher-end technologies. Despite that, buying it costs a lot, and repairs aren't cheap. For this reason, we advise you to take proper care of it, and this includes grabbing a case. Not only will a phone cover protect your device, but it will also freshen up its otherwise-dull appearance. To help you out, we've compiled a list of the best iPhone 14 Plus cases currently available.

]]> Thu, 15 Jun 2023 14:00:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-apple-iphone-14-plus-cases/ Apple AirTags are arguably the best Bluetooth trackers for new iPhone users. However, for the longest time, these coin-sized devices lacked sharing support. So only one Apple ID account could track an AirTag at a time. While transferring ownership of AirTags has always been possible, users had no way to track one AirTag simultaneously.

]]> Wed, 14 Jun 2023 22:00:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/how-share-airtag-ios/ If you're looking for the best iPad out there, then the iPad Pro M2 is certainly the one to go for. This excellent tablet not only supports the upcoming iPadOS 17 and all of its additions, but it's also compatible with some professional applications, such as Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro. Though, expectedly, this iPad is not cheap, and investing in one can leave a hole in your pocket. Fortunately, however, there are some limited time deals available. So if you act fast, you may be able to save some bucks on a brand-new iPad Pro M2.

]]> Wed, 14 Jun 2023 19:00:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-apple-ipad-pro-deals/ Apple first previewed iOS 17, along with iPadOS 17, watchOS 10, and macOS Sonoma, during the main WWDC23 keynote. And while the company focused on communication upgrades, Standby mode, and the upcoming Journal app, there were plenty of other lesser-known features included in this release. For this reason, we will be going through Apple's built-in apps, one by one, and checking what has been tweaked just in case you missed them.

]]> Wed, 14 Jun 2023 16:00:20 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/ios-17-tidbits/ When Apple first previewed Universal Control way back at WWDC 2021, I, like many others, thought it would be a game-changer in terms of continuity. Apple has been the best at developing an ecosystem so strong it just makes sense to buy more than one of the company's products. Sure, Apple might not make the best smartphone or computer, but it does make the best pairing between a smartphone and a computer.

]]> Wed, 14 Jun 2023 15:00:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/universal-control-isnt-continuity-solution/ If you're looking for an excellent iPad that costs no more than $450, then the iPad 10 is the one to go for. Not only does this great tablet finally adopt USB Type-C for charging and data transfer, but it also supports the upcoming iPadOS 17. Though, this iPad, like other models, has a relatively delicate display that is prone to scratches and cracks if mishandled. That's why we advise you to invest in an iPad 10 screen protector as an additional layer of protection. And to help you out, we've listed some of the best options currently available.

]]> Tue, 13 Jun 2023 19:00:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-apple-ipad-10-screen-protectors/ During WWDC23, Apple previewed iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS Sonoma, and watchOS 10. And while these operating systems include some welcome additions and changes, many features we've been hoping for didn't make it through. After all, the Cupertino firm has been focusing its efforts on visionOS for its new Vision Pro headset, so the other operating system updates were lackluster for the most part. But WWDC24 is a new opportunity for the company to finally introduce some of our most highly-requested features.

]]> Tue, 13 Jun 2023 12:34:46 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/features-hoped-for-wwdc23/ It’s ironic that while we have the “go big or go home” mentality for our TVs, many of us wouldn't hesitate to watch a full-length movie on a tiny smartphone screen. It’s not uncommon to see people watching TV shows and movies on a phone or tablet while commuting to via public transit, traveling by plane, or even relaxing in bed at home.

]]> Tue, 13 Jun 2023 12:07:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/essential-tips-streaming-tv-iphone/ iOS 17 introduces plenty of neat features that make the latest iPhones, such as the iPhone 14 Pro, more useful. One of the notable additions to this release is the ability to download cities for offline navigation on your iPhone or iPad. While Google Maps has had this offering for an eternity now, it certainly is welcome that Apple has finally caught up. Do note that for this fresh addition to work, your iDevice must be running OS version 17 or later. If you meet the prerequisite, then you can utilize this feature by following the detailed steps we've listed below.

]]> Mon, 12 Jun 2023 22:01:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/how-offline-apple-maps-ios/ Health and wellness are so important nowadays, not only pertaining to physical health but also mental health. It’s no surprise then that smartwatches, fitness trackers, mindfulness apps, smart scales, and other tech have been gaining steam over the past decade.

]]> Mon, 12 Jun 2023 13:00:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/best-new-apple-features-health-wwdc23/ Apple sells some of the best smartwatches on the market, including the rugged Apple Watch Ultra. Though, in recent years, the company has been mostly offering incremental hardware upgrades. This makes buying a new Apple Watch somewhat uninteresting. Consequently, many of us are already disregarding the Series 8 and anticipating the upcoming Apple Watch Series 9. So what are the rumors pointing to, and what do we want Apple to introduce with this refresh? Let's unpack!

]]> Sun, 11 Jun 2023 16:00:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/apple-watch-series-9/ WWDC23 was jampacked with announcements. While iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS Sonoma pack fewer additions than typical annual OS bumps, we actually got some exciting hardware reveals. So while the conference usually focuses on upcoming software releases, we got a surprisingly well-rounded keynote with plenty of announcements. I was disappointed by the lack of meaningful software news, but that doesn't mean there wasn't stuff to be excited about.

]]> Sun, 11 Jun 2023 15:00:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/biggest-wwdc23-announcements/ Apple’s WWDC 2023 was chock-full of announcements across the board for all existing Apple products and categories, and even some new ones (how about that Apple Vision Pro?) As an iPhone user who relies on my phone for day-to-day communication, productivity, entertainment, and just about everything else, I was particularly excited to hear about the new features that will be coming with iOS 17.

]]> Sat, 10 Jun 2023 12:30:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/6-ios-17-features-use-the-most/ WWDC23 was one of the most notable Apple events in recent years. While most of the software announcements were arguably lackluster, the great iPhone maker did introduce some advanced hardware that could shape its new era. From the upcoming major OS updates to Apple Vision Pro and the fresh Macs, let's recap WWDC23 and look into everything announced at the event.

]]> Fri, 09 Jun 2023 19:45:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/wwdc23/ WWDC is our favorite time of the year for many reasons. Not only do we get to try out the upcoming major updates to Apple's operating systems, but we also sometimes get fresh hardware releases. This time around, we witnessed the debut of Apple's Vision Pro, some new Mac models, iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS Sonoma, and watchOS 10. And while the Cupertino firm has provided the public with a comprehensive list of what's new in these releases, many additions remain undocumented publicly. For example, we have just discovered that iOS 17 beta 1 redesigns the built-in Apple Translate app. The new user interface offers more intuitive controls, making the application more straightforward and easy to use.

]]> Wed, 07 Jun 2023 17:22:00 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/ios-17-redesigns-apple-translate/ With the release of version 13.0, Apple rebranded iOS on iPad to iPadOS. The move aims to distinguish between the latest iPhones and iPads by offering the latter product category a unique, independent identity. Since then, iPadOS has gained a few exclusive features that bring the tablet closer to becoming a PC replacement, such as Stage Manager. Does iPadOS 17 beta 1 actually contribute to this evolution? Not significantly. The experience remains largely familiar and unchanged.

]]> Wed, 07 Jun 2023 17:16:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/ipados-17-beta-1/ WhatsApp is arguably the best instant messaging app available. While it's not the most feature-packed option out there, it still has billions of active users. This makes it easy to reach friends, family, and even businesses around the world. Though, one downside to using WhatsApp is the lack of multi-account support. With new iPhones, such as the iPhone 14 Pro Max, supporting more than one SIM, users may need to depend on two WhatsApp accounts on a single iPhone. This, however, is not possible by default. Fortunately, there is a workaround, and we've detailed the steps you need to follow below.

]]> Wed, 07 Jun 2023 16:00:26 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-use-two-whatsapp-accounts-iphone/ We had been anticipating the official previews of iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS Sonoma, and watchOS 10 for months. And, finally, following the main WWDC23 keynote, we got to try out these operating systems for the very first time. While the public, stable releases are still around three months away, registered developers can now give the beta versions a spin on their compatible machines.

]]> Tue, 06 Jun 2023 18:20:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/ios-17-beta-1/ We've all been there. Whether you're an iPhone user with iMessage or an Android user with RCS, the group chat gets crippled by that one person that doesn't have the same kind of phone as the rest. That means that the messaging protocol falls back to SMS/MMS, which is decades old and can't handle what we'd even call a small file today. But with the announcement of iOS 17 yesterday and the subsequent release of the first developer betas, it seems that Apple has a solution that didn't get talked about in the WWC keynote.

]]> Tue, 06 Jun 2023 17:55:45 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/ios-17-green-bubbles-wont-hurt-anymore/ Apple's latest iPhones and iPads support installing iOS and iPadOS beta versions. However, if you don't know what you're doing, you can risk bricking your iPad or iPhone in the process. This often happens if a software update is interrupted during the installation phase. Fortunately, if the hardware isn't damaged, you can revive your iDevice using an internet-connected Mac or Windows PC. You will just need to follow the steps below, after grabbing a Lightning or USB Type-C cable (based on your iDevice's port).

]]> Tue, 06 Jun 2023 12:00:20 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-revive-your-iphone/ All new Apple Watches support watchOS beta installation. This means that you get to test pre-release builds on your wearable several weeks before their public availability. And with the first watchOS 10 betas now available ahead of the official release, it might be a good time to get in on the action.

]]> Tue, 06 Jun 2023 00:45:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-switch-watchos-beta-to-stable/ Apple showcases its upcoming software updates at WWDC each year, including for watchOS. But in recent years, not much has changed when it comes to the Apple Watch's software. That changes with watchOS 10, which looks to be one of the biggest Apple Watch update releases in years. With a new user interface called Smart Stack on the way, Apple Watch users will soon be able to interact with information on their wrist in an all-new way.

]]> Mon, 05 Jun 2023 23:40:50 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/watchos-10/ Following months of anticipation, iOS 17 is now official. First previewed during the opening keynote of WWDC23, this update introduces some decent improvements to the great iPhone. Despite it not being the most feature-packed update to the company's smartphone, it certainly offers some nice-to-have additions. These include upgrades to the Phone and Messages apps, a fresh Journal app, a handy Standby mode, and much, much more! Here's everything you need to know about iOS 17.

]]> Mon, 05 Jun 2023 22:20:28 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/ios-17/ Apple's latest iPads are some of the best tablets on the market. Not only do they offer a wide variety of well-optimized, native apps, but they also support rich OS-level features, such as Stage Manager. At the core of what makes these devices so wonderful is the software, called iPadOS. The current official version of the operating system is iPadOS 16. While it has provided some helpful new features, it's time for something new. Apple took the wraps off its newest tablet software at WWDC on June 5, finally revealing what we can expect when iPadOS is released to the public later this year.

]]> Mon, 05 Jun 2023 22:11:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/ipados-17/ Apple finally gave us our first look at its augmented reality headset, called the Vision Pro, as a part of its WWDC23 keynote. This particular headset, referred to as a spatial computer, has reportedly been developing at Apple for the better part of a decade, and it's nearly ready to go on sale.

]]> Mon, 05 Jun 2023 21:32:30 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/apple-vision-pro-headset/ Today, there was a lot of exciting news at Apple's WWDC23 event, with the company not only showing off new products like the Mac Studio, Mac Pro, MacBook Air, and Vision Pro, but also giving users a look at its software ambitions with iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS Sonoma, and watchOS 10. While consumers won't see these for some months, developers will be able to get their hands on the latest software through the Apple Developer Program, which has just released the first betas of iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS Sonoma, and watchOS 10 to developers

]]> Mon, 05 Jun 2023 20:26:31 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/ios-17-ipados-17-macos-sonoma-watchos-10-beta-1/ If you have one of the new iPhones or excellent iPads, then you may have already tried installing an iOS beta or iPadOS beta. And while beta OS versions can pack plenty of exciting changes and features, they typically aren't as reliable as stable releases. After all, one of the main reasons beta programs exist is to get feedback from testers and smooth out issues before the public rollout. And with iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 on the horizon, your interest might've been piqued

]]> Mon, 05 Jun 2023 20:15:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-switch-ios-ipados-beta-to-stable/ The latest iPhones are some of the best phones available on the market. Not only do they offer premium builds, but they also receive OS updates for many years. Furthermore, you can try upcoming operating system updates and the features they pack weeks, or even months, in advance. This allows you to get your hands on the exciting additions on day one, instead of needing to wait for the public, stable release. Though, expectedly, pre-release versions are often riddled with bugs.

]]> Mon, 05 Jun 2023 20:00:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/should-i-install-ios-beta/ The latest iPads offer an excellent tablet experience in an astonishingly slim design. And with every annual, major operating system update, the company further supercharges these glass slabs with new features and additions that redefine what this thin laptop replacement can do.

]]> Mon, 05 Jun 2023 19:50:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/should-i-install-ipados-beta/ The great iPhone maker sells plenty of excellent Apple Watches. One of the reasons why they're so great is the major software updates they receive every year. Through these OS bumps, they gain new features and changes, giving your existing device a new life. And that's important when you're spending so much money on something like the Apple Watch Ultra.
