Having already won the tablet wars, Apple could have simply refreshed its tablet line with a faster processor (it did), more storage (up to a terabyte) and a nicer display (you guessed it). While it certainly fulfilled this baseline expectation, Apple pushed the boundaries of tablet computing further today with the announcement of its new iPad Pro.  Let's take a look at the most notable new features this next generation of the iPad has to offer.

In the 94th episode of the iPhone Life Podcast, members of the team discuss the pros and cons of reading books on their iPhones, using a Kindle, listening to audiobooks, or buying old-fashioned paperbacks. Other topics include how to take advantage of iOS 12's location-based Do Not Disturb settings, tuning apps for musicians, and an iPhone game that has recently become Sarah’s guilty pleasure.

When Apple released the original iPhone back in 2007, you had two models to choose from: 4 GB or 8 GB. Those were simpler times. There was only one color (black), and it was sold on one carrier (AT&T). While there was no App Store, no Siri, and no iCloud, there were also very few decisions you had to navigate. Fast forward to this September when Apple announced its new product lineup at the Steve Jobs theater, and the tech giant announced three new iPhones—the iPhone XS, the iPhone XS Max, and the iPhone XR. Each phone has a unique set of tradeoffs to analyze. Not to mention the fact that Apple still sells the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 7. If you count all the generations, sizes, storage options, and colors, you now have 69 different iPhones to choose from. Thankfully, we’re here to walk you through all the new devices and help you figure out which one is right for you.

In previous iterations, Apple added cellular and GPS capability, plus waterproofing to make a compelling case to make the leap to a new watch. This year the new Apple Watch features fewer dramatic new features and more enhancements (64-bit CPU, bigger screen size, smaller bezel, thinner chassis, louder speaker, and better sensors.) But that doesn't mean the Series 4 isn't a dramatically different watch. Thanks to a built-in ECG (electrocardiogram) sensor and the ability of the watch to detect falls and contact emergency services for the wearer, the Apple Watch Series 4 is a healthcare provider’s dream—and one that fits on your wrist. Let's go over everything you should know about the Apple Watch Series 4, including price, specifications, new features, and improvements.

Apple's September announcement has come and gone, and that means it's time to get ready for iOS 12. Whether you are upgrading your iPhone to an XS Max or sticking with your trusty 6s, you'll want to update your iOS as soon as possible. Read on to find out what we learned in today's announcement about when to update your iOS so that you can stay ahead of the iPhone curve.

Apple just sent out press invitations for the annual September event, so we now have an official date to look forward to; the action starts at 10 a.m. PT on Wednesday, September 12, at the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino, California. We've been anticipating this day, and the device announcements that will come with it, for months, so let's go over all the hints, rumors, and educated guesses about potential new products Apple might announce, including new iPhones, the Apple Watch Series 4, AirPods 2, and StudioPods.
