| | | | | |  | | | Amid a growing chorus of complaints and even class action lawsuits, Apple late last week finally launched a repair program to assist MacBook and MacBook Pro owners who have experienced problems with the keyboards on their machines. Apple says a "small percentage" of users have experienced issues with "sticky" keys that can repeat, fail to register upon pressing, or operate inconsistently. Because the keyboard is part of an assembly that includes not only the aluminum top case of the machine but also the glued-in battery, users who have experienced issues outside of the warranty period have sometimes been required to pay upwards of $500 to fix their keyboards, and Apple's new program also provides refunds for those users. For full details on the repair program, check out our overview as well as our how-to outlining the steps you'll need to follow to take advantage of the program, which covers machines for up to four years from the date of first sale. Covered models include 2015–2017 MacBooks and 2016–2017 MacBook Pros. | | | | | | |  If you want to move a file, whether it's a video, ebook, ringtone, or other media file, from your Mac to your iPhone, you'd usually need to use iTunes.

There are lots of new features and tweaks in the new operating systems, so make sure to check our release posts for details, as well as our how-to guides for getting the iOS 12 and macOS Mojave public betas installed on your devices. Remember though, these are beta versions that can have bugs and other issues, so you won't want to install them on your primary devices. | | | | | | |  Reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has released a new report addressing a number of upcoming Apple products, focusing primarily on the 2018 and 2019 iPhone lineups. Kuo reiterates that 2018 should see three new iPhones: a second-generation iPhone X, a larger "iPhone X Plus," and a cheaper LCD model that will essentially be a budget iPhone X. All three models are expected to launch in September. Kuo believes the 2019 models will have "marked innovations" such as a possible triple-lens camera in some models, but additional details on the 2019 models likely won't become clear until September or October at the earliest. Beyond the iPhone, Kuo continues to believe that Apple is working on a cheaper MacBook Air, new iPad Pro models with Face ID, and updated Apple Watch models with larger displays. All are expected to launch later this year. | | | | | | |  Bloomberg has shared new details on Apple's plans for its audio hardware lineup, reiterating its belief that "higher-end" AirPods with water resistance will be arriving next year. These would actually be a third-generation model, as Apple is also said to be working on an update for later this year that will include hands-free "Hey Siri" support. In addition to AirPods, Apple is also said to be eyeing an early 2019 launch for its rumored over-ear headphones, described as a "higher-end alternative to the company's Beats line." And finally, Apple is reportedly planning to launch a second-generation HomePod "as early as next year." | | | | | | |  Finally. After seven years, Apple and Samsung have settled their legal battle over Apple's claims that Samsung copied design aspects of the iPhone, putting an end to the saga that cost many millions of dollars in legal fees. Through the many ups and downs of the trials and appeals, Apple's initial award of over $1 billion was adjusted multiple times, with the final figure coming in at $539 million just last month. Samsung had demanded yet another appeal in the case, but with this week's settlement, it has all come to an end. Details on the settlement amount and terms have not been disclosed. | | | | | | |  We're always looking to bring you the best bargains on Apple products and third-party accessories, and today we've got a couple of exclusive deals in the form of 45% off sitewide at Speck and 50% off a wireless charger from Choetech.
