Macworld

Macworld is a dedicated website focused on Apple Inc. products and software. It is operated by Mac Publishing, which is based in San Francisco, California. Since its launch in 1984, it has become the leading Macintosh magazine in North America, boasting the highest audited circulation, both in total and at newsstands, and surpassing its closest rival, MacLife (formerly known as MacAddict), by more than two times. The magazine was established by David Bunnell as the publisher and Andrew Fluegelman as the editor. It held the title of the longest-running Macintosh magazine until September 10, 2014, when its parent company, IDG, decided to end the print version and laid off most of the staff, while continuing to provide content online.

iOS 19 will reportedly use AI to extend the iPhone's battery life

2 days ago | macworld.com | Jason Cross

Finally, an Apple Intelligence feature we can all get behind! Instead of more generative features of questionable quality, Apple reportedly plans to use AI to help us all get longer battery life, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. While it’s likely to be promoted as part of Apple’s “Apple Intelligence” platform, this is the kind of data-analysis AI that we’ve seen on iPhones for years already, rather than the generative AI that has been met with mixed reviews, to put it charitably.

My 64GB iPhone was so low on space it barely worked. Here's how I saved it

3 days ago | macworld.com | Filipe Esposito

With the launch of the iPhone 16e and 11th-gen iPad, Apple has officially phased out all devices with 64GB of storage in favor of 128GB as the entry-level option. That’s great for new buyers, but there are a lot of people who still have 64GB iPhones and iPads that are too new to replace. I know from experience: I own an iPhone 12 mini and a 6th-gen iPad mini, both otherwise great devices, and it’s become a headache to manage the latest versions of iOS with such a small amount of space.
