Let's hope Apple gets MagSafe right in iPad Pro 🤞

November 30, 2021

Hurrah! A long-awaited feature is likely headed to the iPad Pro, but it looks like Apple might blow its implementation.

In other news:

  • Check out the translucent AirPods you always wanted. If Nothing can do it, why can't Apple?

  • If you're looking for podcast recommendations, Apple's got some fine picks for this year's best.

  • AirTags can be tricky to place: You generally need a holder. But a sticky pad provides a versatile and inexpensive alternative.

There’s a feature reportedly coming to the 2022 iPad Pro I’m so ready for. Apple’s largest tablet will supposedly include MagSafe, and it’ll be something of a game changer. However, Apple is allegedly considering using the iPhone version of MagSafe, which makes little sense. The MacBook version would be a better fit for iPad Pro.

AirPods come in white, white and also white. But a collector scored a prototype pair in very unusual translucent blue casings. Take a rare look at a product that’ll never hit store shelves.

Apple is on course to introduce its third-generation iPhone SE early in 2022, according to a market-analysis firm. It’s expected to be the first in Apple's budget line with 5G cellular-wireless networking.

Some say their new machines fail to charge when powered off, with the LED light on the MagSafe charger flashing amber.

Make your belongings much easier to find when they go missing by attaching an AirTag using Elago’s affordable Silicone Pad. This little accessory features a reusable adhesive that allows it to be stuck to almost any flat surface. You can get yours in one of three color options — including one that glows in the dark — from the Cult of Mac Store.

Apple called 2021 a year for “shows that moved us in ways unlike ever before.”

Rocket League: Sideswipe is a brand-new take on the formula that’s built specifically for mobile play.

Stars Emilia Jones and Troy Kotsur each take home a trophy for their roles in the movie about a child of deaf adults who must choose between family obligations and her dream of being a singer.
