Financially, not really, eh? — I think I’m safe to write this now. Surely, there won’t be any more surprise Apple releases in 2023? My concern is justified. In January, we unexpectedly received new Macs, and a few weeks ago Apple superseded those surprise January Macs with yet another bunch of new Macs, making those…

They’re SO similar, right? — Bose is well known for its noise-cancelling prowess. In 2023, the audio giant laid down its marker, big time, with an overhaul of its headphone and earbud line-up. We’ve said goodbye to the much-loved Bose 700 but welcomed the outstanding Ultra series, which come in the form of over-ear headphones…

…and we haven’t even got the first version yet! — This new weekly Apple news roundup format is, admittedly, a bit selfish. It’s simply a way for me to stay abreast of the current Apple news events and ensure I know what I’m talking about. I hope, however, that you’ll find these musings on the latest happenings from the Cupertino…

Turns out… quite a lot! — What Apple gifts do you buy for the Apple Person who has everything (which, let’s be honest, is most Apple People)? I know it’s hard; I’m an Apple Person myself. If you’re staring down the barrel of a similar buying conundrum for your Apple-loving sibling, better half, parent, or mate…

This was a tough one. — This was bloody hard. Try it. If you’re an Apple fan and you’ve been particularly enamoured by what they’ve done with the Mac during the Apple silicon era, try and choose your top five favourites. Don’t worry, no rush. I’ll come back later. Although by the time I return, you’ll…

For one pair… I hope so! — In 2024, Apple will reportedly launch AirPods 4th generation, drop a long-awaited AirPods Max refresh, and, no doubt, add further speculation to an increasing swell of rumours about what’s next for AirPods Pro. I don’t think there’s any doubt that Apple has plans for its earbuds and headphones next year…

A list of reasons why it might be! — I’ve never done a full smartphone roundup at the end of each year, but I did pick my favourite last year — and that was the brilliant Google Pixel 7 Pro. The Pixel 8 Pro is another contender for that crown this year, but Apple has thrown a bit of…

I’ve tried it… — Earlier this year, I announced that I’d be trialling an iPad-only setup. That has kinda happened. Ok, hands-up, it hasn’t. I really can’t claim that I’ve gone all-in on the iPad. Because I haven’t. What I have done, though, is invest as much of my productivity into the iPad as…

Apple invited me in for a little chat… — Yesterday, I visited the redeveloped Battersea Power Station in London. As a huge Pink Floyd fan, this was quite a moment. Seeing those four massive white towers emerge as I exited the tube station was almost like walking into the album cover for Animals. I say ‘almost’, because the area…
