Bag a brand-new HomePod for under $205 before they’re all gone
- MacSales is currently offering brand-new HomePod units for as little as $204.99 — a generous $94 off the usual price
- Is a HomePod refresh on the way?
Lots of iPhone SE components are swappable with iPhone 8 — but not all
- As the iFixit teardown confirms, the new iPhone SE is, in many senses, an updated iPhone 8.
iPhone SE uses software trick to give photos beautiful bokeh
- The 2020 iPhone SE is the first Apple smartphone to offer Portrait Mode photos created entirely with software techniques rather than hardware. That’s not true of any previous iOS device, not even iPhone XR.
- Apple Watch supports a huge selection of workout types, but most of the popular ones, like running and swimming, you probably can’t do right now thanks to the coronavirus lockdown. Fortunately, if you delve a little deeper, you’ll find plenty of Apple Watch home workouts you can choose from that require little or no special equipment.
- For the last 10 years or so, Cult of Mac used the standard blog format, a reverse scroll of stories with the newest posts published at the top of the site.
