TL;DR: Skip the office scanner—iScanner lets you scan, edit, sign, and organize documents from your phone for $39.99.

In reality, most office scanners are either collecting dust or taking up way too much space for how little they’re used.

The iScanner App is the modern replacement. Instead of relying on hardware, it turns your phone into a full document scanner, editor, and file manager—all for a one-time $39.99 (reg. $199.90).

TL;DR: Clean up your iPhone in minutes with Cleaner Kit for iOS, an AI-powered tool that removes duplicates, compresses media, and organizes storage for a lifetime price of $29.99 (MSRP $104.97).

A packed iPhone has a way of slowing everything down at the worst possible moment — whether it’s trying to snap a photo or finding that one screenshot you swore you saved. Scrolling endlessly through duplicates, blurry shots, and forgotten videos is not exactly a vibe.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Apple and Intel have reached a preliminary deal to manufacture some of Apple’s chips. The WSJ and Bloomberg reported earlier this week that Apple had been in talks with both Intel and Samsung to diversify its suppliers for advanced chips, which currently rest almost entirely with TSMC.

Now, it would appear that there is a deal in place—at least in principle. Intel was a leading chip manufacturer for decades, but only for chips of its own design. Читать дальше...

Apple has updated its surprisingly lax requirements for buying its products with an educational discount. Students and teachers will now need to verify their educational status using UNiDAYS in order to buy products from the Apple Education Store. The change applies to the United States as well as Australia, Hong Kong, Turkey, Canada, and Chile.

Before this change, all you really needed was the name of an affiliated institution to access the Apple Education Store and... Читать дальше...

Anyone who has an iPhone can tell you that the Delete key is both one of the most common and one of the most annoying to use, with frustrating accuracy and inconsistent speed fluctuations. It shouldn’t be this way, and Eli Guerron agrees. As a designer (and one who once worked for Apple), Guerron took it upon himself to make the world a better backspace key, and he’s come up with a brilliant solution.

Guerron posted his concept on X, and it’s one I’d love to see become available in iOS. Читать дальше...

As of May 2026, it’s an excellent time to buy a MacBook Air. Apple refreshed the lineup in March 2026 with the new M5 chip, meaning the current models are at the very start of their lifecycle.

Another update to the MacBook Air is not expected until 2027, so buyers can purchase now without worrying about an imminent refresh.

There are also broader market reasons not to delay. Rising component costs – particularly for RAM and storage driven by growing AI demand ... Читать дальше...

Back in March, Apple announced its cheapest notebook ever, the MacBook Neo. Starting at as little as $599 ($499 for students), the laptop has been selling like hotcakes. Typically, high sales would make the corporate overlords happy. The MacBook Neo’s exceptional success, however, has apparently become a real problem.

Due to chip shortages and the MacBook Neo’s extraordinarily high demand, Apple is struggling to produce new units en masse. A recent report from analyst... Читать дальше...

If there’s one knock on the iPhone Air, it’s that the battery is a little small, and the last thing you need when you’re out about town with your skinny phone is to have its battery die on you. Thankfully, Apple has a solution that doesn’t add too much bulk to the phone, and today it’s cheaper than ever: Apple’s special iPhone Air MagSafe Battery is on sale for 39 percent off, bringing the price lower than ever down to just $60.

One of the advantages of using macOS is that it offers a more secure platform than Windows. Part of the reason is that it’s not targeted as often (though it has been subject to more attacks over the years), but the main reason is that Apple acts more as a gatekeeper, with security implementations within the chipset, app notarization, and many other features.

In an effort to create awareness, Apple recently met with the media to spotlight three security features introduced with macOS Tahoe. Читать дальше...

The MacBook Neo, by almost all accounts, is a wildly successful product, so much so that Apple quickly started to run short of the “free” binned A18 Pro chips it used in the laptop. This is great news for Apple, which has a blockbuster on its hands and a new source of revenue in the budget space. But it could be bad news for consumers who haven’t yet managed to snag a Neo.

According to the Taipei-based tech columnist Tim Culpan, writing in his Culpium newsletter this week... Читать дальше...
