iPhone Duo preorders just begun, and iPhone 18 Pro has been on the market for about a month. Of course, iPhone Duo is backordered through January right now, so whether or not you’re considering buying these phones – it makes it really easy to think about what’s coming next.

Apple Watch Series 12 has been a marvel of an upgrade, at least for me. I’ve written about it WHOOP. That said, in my past month testing it, there’s one WHOOP feature I’ve found myself missing.

After over a decade of not adopting touch displays on its Mac notebook lineup, Apple will finally be releasing its first touchscreen MacBook as early as November 6th, after announcing it as early as October 27th.

Apple just announced its long awaited smart home display: HomeView, and it’s available for $299. That said, the product has been in development for quite some time, being held back by all of the delays with developing a smarter Siri.

Now that it’s on the market, some customers have had concern about the fact that you have to move the HomeView around yourself if its on a table with multiple people surrounding it. According to the Power On newsletter, it might not be too long before Apple has a solution.

According to a new report from MacRumors, Apple employees are being told to warn customers that iPhone Duo likely won’t be available for purchase on launch day if you didn’t already place a pre-order.

iPhone Duo is just about a week away from launching, and now that preorders have opened, Apple’s official iPhone Duo accessories have started to hit stores for early purchases. After purchasing, some users have noticed that the silicone case has a little bit of a caveat.

After unveiling the design of its consumer-grade Spectacles back in June, Snap is now announcing that they’ll be available for pre-order starting today with a new 5G carrying case. The company also introduced a new proactive AI agent called Specs Intelligence, which despite being Specs branded, will be available on iPhone and Mac regardless of if you own a pair.

Apple this week unveiled its new iPhone lineup, including the first ever foldable iPhone – the iPhone Duo. While the Duo itself is a fantastic device, it does leave me wishing that Apple did better for the iPad.

According to the latest edition of the Power On newsletter from Mark Gurman, Apple is reportedly considering making some changes to its App Store. The goal? To increase the potential revenue it brings in.

This upgrade was rumored to be called MacBook Ultra, though it wasn’t necessarily clear where that’d leave the MacBook Pro brand. Now, it’s a lot more clear.

Last year, Apple completely reinvented multitasking on the iPad, with the introduction of windowing in iPadOS 26. At first, this meant the removal of the simpler version of multitasking, Split View and Slide Over. Those features did eventually return, but at a cost – they required you to use the clunky new windowing system. I was hoping iPadOS 27 would improve this, but it didn’t.

It leaves the question – will Apple work on major improvements to make its products more appealing at these new prices?

According to the latest edition of the Power On newsletter, Apple had reportedly been considering a feature for Apple Upgrade that would’ve made setting up your iPhone nearly seamless: where Apple would’ve already copied your data over. This feature never ended up seeing the light of day, though.
