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.
