Founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne, Apple is best known for making some of the world’s most ubiquitous consumer devices, software, and services: the iPhone, iPad, iMac and MacBook computers, Apple TV, Apple Watch, iOS, iCloud, iTunes, Apple Music, Apple Pay, and many more. Led by CEO Tim Cook since 2011, Apple is one of the largest technology companies in the world alongside Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Facebook.
Its simplified, hands-free instructions strip out much of what’s essential to online recipes.
According to Mark Gurman, Apple’s retail stores are planning a “ reset ” on the evening of November 5th into Friday the 6th. Generally, that means new signage and demo devices indicating that it could be the on-sale date for the M6 iMac, touchscreen MacBook Pro , and OLED iPad mini rumored to be announced later this month.
Delivery estimates are already delayed into 2027 . Bloomberg reports that Apple said :
“The pre-order demand for iPhone Duo, our first foldable iPhone, has been nothing short of extraordinary. We are working hard to get this revolutionary new product into customers’ hands as quickly as possible, and we will continue accepting orders online,” the company said in a statement.
“Our teams look forward to welcoming customers at Apple Stores worldwide to experience the iPhone Duo and the incredible full iPhone line-up for themselves,” it added, without disclosing whether inventory would be available for customers who were unable to secure pre-orders when the device goes on sale Oct. 23.
Apple’s new smart home lineup promises easier setup, tighter integration, and data privacy. But with steep competition and steeper prices, can Apple convince more people to adopt its vision of the smart home?
Then check out this episode of TWiT’s Tech News Weekly , where I chat with host Mikah Sargent for an hour about HomeView, Apple TV, HomePod Mini 2, and the Apple Home Collection. (Audio options here .)
An unreleased iPad mini Smart Folio is listed on Apple’s French regulatory site , and its A3632 model number doesn’t match any known iPad mini cases. It adds weight to existing rumors that Apple will refresh the iPad mini alongside the expected touchscreen MacBook Pro launch later this month.
“How do we build deeply personal experiences leveraging AI that help us all be more creative, be more productive, do whatever it is that we want to do,” Ternus says in an interview with TIME .
And his coffee order? “Americano, black.”
Thirteen years after selling at auction for $686,000 in 2013 , a working Apple-1 computer, originally owned by Fred Hatfield, just sold at auction again through Bonhams for nearly twice that amount. The machine is especially rare because it’s signed by Steve Wozniak who hand built its motherboard and includes a letter signed by Steve Jobs offering Hatfield a hardware upgrade.
It’s a little broken as a result of being a nearly 20 year old operating system, but it’s a joy to play around with. Kelindi says in a follow up post that the OS is “running on an emulated ARM11 CPU and S5L8900 chipset, compiled to WebAssembly.”
There’s not a ton of new info to glean from the profile , but it’s one of the most thorough looks at the rise of Ternus and how the iPhone Duo came to be a defining moment for the company and an early triumph for the new CEO.
Shortly after US District Judge Edward Davila said he was “highly likely” to grant Apple’s injunction , OpenAI voluntarily conceded instead. It agreed not to use Apple’s proprietary information for product development while the rest of the lawsuit plays out, and will hand over forensic images of the drives of 14 employees who defected from Apple.
If Apple’s first smart display finally gets my family to actually use my smart home, I’ll consider it a win.
The company closed the day above a $5 trillion valuation, though it has surpassed the milestone six times in intraday trading, according to The Wall Street Journal .
Nvidia also has a market cap exceeding $5 trillion, reaching that valuation for the first time last year .
The launch will include some of Apple’s earlier Apple Intelligence features, but not the just-launched Siri AI, according to Bloomberg . The update is set to release in December.
US District Judge Edward Davila said during a hearing on Wednesday that he’s “highly likely” to grant Apple an injunction preventing OpenAI from using proprietary information allegedly shared by the iPhonemaker’s former employees, according to a report from Bloomberg .
At the same time, OpenAI is accusing an ex-employee of taking confidential product plans and presenting them to Apple execs.
Minor updates to the Mini, along with a price bump and a delay for Siri AI, are disappointing — but I love the new pink color and that I can properly pair the smart speaker with my Mac . I’m excited that Apple added far-field mics to the Apple TV 4K (4th gen) and, of course, thrilled that remote now has Find My. But that price … ouch.
Apple is charging $279 for all HomeView repairs, just $20 less than the smart home hub costs new. It’s $39 with AppleCare, but otherwise an official repair won’t make much sense. It’s another pricing problem for HomeView, which ships without either a mount or power adapter if you want it wall-mounted.
The tool, which Six Colors recently slammed as “appalling,” pierces the AirTag’s speaker, preventing it from emitting sound. While Elevation Lab says it designed the tool to prevent thieves from detecting the presence of an AirTag, it also disables an anti-stalking feature that audibly alerts people when an unknown tracker is following them.
Elevation Lab says it has stopped selling the tool and will use its “patent on it to prevent anyone else from making one in the future,” according to MacRumors .
I dove deep into smart home menus and swiped through endless faces to bring you a closer look at the features of Apple’s newest gadget for your home .
In light of the news that a new Apple TV 4K is coming soon, I wanted to share praise for Conduit , an Android app that closely mirrors the built-in remote app for iPhones and iPads. It’s free and ad-free, but paying $1 unlocks a bunch of features, including letting it control multiple Apple TVs, touchpad controls, volume control with my phone’s volume rocker, playback controls from the pull-down menu, and other customization options.

We have a lot of questions about Apple’s new smart-home gadget — and all the updated ones , too. Come hang with Jen Tuohy, Nilay Patel, and me in an hour or so as we talk through all of today’s announcements, get Jen’s first hands-on impressions, and have deep existential debates about Siri. See you soon!
We’ll have hands-on impressions shortly, but take a look at Apple’s smart display hub on table and wall-mount setups.
