Apple MacBook Air M4 (13-inch) ZDNET's key takeaways Apple's MacBook Air M4 (13-inch) is on sale at Amazon for $799, a competitive price for its latest ultraportable. The M4 Air supports up to two external monitors with the lid open, and scales up to 32GB of unified memory. There are still only two USB-C ports on the left side, and I wish there were a nano-texture display option.

Meta bypassed Apple privacy protections, claims former employee

A former Meta product manager has claimed that the social network circumvented Apple’s privacy protections, as well as cheating advertisers, and fired him when he repeatedly raised the issue internally. Meta is said to have found ways to identify Apple users even after they refused consent for app tracking, in order to avoid an estimated $10 billion loss of revenue … App Tracking Transparency hit Meta hard Meta relied heavily on selling personalized advertising, which required it to be able t

I Was Right Yet Again: iOS 26 Goes Live Today

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-01 06:13:57

Apple announced iOS 26 at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June, but it said at the time it would release the update to the general public this fall. So I looked at past Apple events in September and earlier iOS releases to predict when the company would release iOS 26. And I was right. Apple announced that iOS 26 will be released as a free update Monday. Apple usually releases updates around 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET), so that means your iPhone can get new features like a Liquid Glass design

Jef Raskin's cul-de-sac and the quest for the humane computer

Computing history, of course, is filled with such terminal diversions, most never to be fully realized, and many for good reason.

AirPods Pro 3 Review: Skating to Where the Puck Is Going, Not Where It Has Been

2025 Almost three years after Apple introduced the original AirPods Pro 2 (updated with USB-C in 2023) with category-defining sound quality and active noise cancellation (ANC), I can safely say that just about every company making ANC wireless earbuds has caught up or surpassed them, and often with buds that are sold for less than $250. Basic wireless earbuds features—good audio, good ANC, and good battery life—are table stakes, and each of these is improved on AirPods Pro 3. Apple’s third-gen

Here’s why usage of Gemini’s Nano Banana image editor is growing

Google Gemini is breaking out of ChatGPT’s shadow, likely on the wings of its Nano Banana image editor and the viral trend of AI-generated, lifelike figurines. Google launched Nano Banana in late August. It hyped the model as a way to “transform images in amazing new ways” inside the Gemini app. To get the “perfect picture,” you simply pop an image into Gemini and “tell it what you’d like to change,” the company said.

Today is the day that iOS 26 finally emerges from beta and is officially launched. The headline feature is of course the Liquid Glass look, which has proved almost as controversial as the minimalist look of iOS 7 back in 2013. Apple has made some pretty substantial changes to the look of the operating system after beta testers complained about poor legibility and confusing design elements.
