| | | | | |  | | | On Sunday, we received a tip that Apple would be launching (PRODUCT)RED versions of the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus the following day, and indeed the announcement did happen on Monday, with orders opening on Tuesday and deliveries coming at the end of the week. Apple also released a hot new ad for the special edition iPhone that now comes with a black front instead of the white front seen on the red iPhone 7 and 7 Plus last year. Select media outlets have already gone hands-on with the new phone, which looks fantastic. Unfortunately, we didn't get a red iPhone X, although Apple did launch a $99 (PRODUCT)RED folio case for iPhone X owners. | | | | | | |  Today, we’d like to talk about Setapp — a large collection of selected apps from trusted Mac developers in one suite. For a single monthly fee you get a full-pack for advanced Mac maintenance, with apps like iStat Menus, Disk Drill, CleanMyMac, Spotless, Get Backup Pro, and Gemini. Setapp has software for nearly any job on Mac but right now we’d like to focus on what it can do for your hard drive and system.
With the right apps for monitoring and file management, you can protect Mac from unexpected failure, overheating, and hardware issues. Plus, you can get rid of the junk left by long use, such as old files, system trash, duplicate files, cluttered desktop and so on. And the best thing is, to keep your Mac safe you don’t need to clean and maintain it yourself — the apps in Setapp will do it for you. It’s free to try for a week, so give it a go.

While HomePod is generally regarded as having excellent sound quality, its $349 price tag is far higher than competing Amazon Echo and Google Home speakers, and Siri's capabilities fall short of Alexa's and Google's. A new supply chain report today supports Bloomberg's claim of production cuts, and also reiterates a rumor that Apple is working on a cheaper version of the HomePod to launch later this year. | | | | | | |  Progressing along its path to end support for 32-bit apps on macOS, Apple yesterday reminded developers that as of June 1, all new app updates submitted to the Mac App Store must be 64-bit. Apple is also rolling out a new warning for consumers running macOS 10.13.4 to let them know of the upcoming changes. Starting today, users launching 32-bit apps will see warnings letting them know the apps are "not optimized" for current systems and should be updated by their developers. Apple followed a similar series of steps with iOS until support for 32-bit apps was completely eliminated as of iOS 11. | | | | | | |  According to a new report, Apple is considering including a triple-lens rear camera system on some 2019 iPhone models. Three lenses of various types could allow for improved performance such as better zoom and low-light photo capture, but Apple wouldn't be the first to make the move to such a system. Huawei's new P20 Pro phone includes a primary 40-megapixel f/1.8 lens, a 20-megapixel f/1.6 monochrome lens, and an 8-megapixel f/2.4 telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. | | | | | | |  Following last week's announcement that the redesigned Mac Pro won't arrive until 2019, we took a look at the six oldest major products still sold by Apple. The oldest ones are the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Time Capsule, which haven't been updated since mid-2013. Apple has reportedly ceased development on AirPort products but it's unclear when Apple will choose to discontinue the current models in favor of third-party options. Other aging products in Apple's lineup include the Mac Pro, Mac mini, MacBook Air, iPod touch, and iPad mini. Some like the iPod touch and iPad mini seem to be reaching the end of their natural lifecycles as consumers shift to other products to meet their needs, while others like the MacBook Air, Mac mini, and Mac Pro would appear to have some life left in them if Apple would only update them. | | | | | | |  HomeKit, Apple's smart home platform, has grown significantly since its 2015 debut, with a wide array of products available from many different manufacturers. In one of our latest videos, we took a look at some of our favorite HomeKit products, including smart locks, lighting, thermostats, and switches. With rooms, scenes, and automations all managed through HomeKit, your various accessories can work together. And with HomePod, you can now ask your smart speaker to control devices throughout your home. | | | | | |
