How to remove duplicate photos

Managing disk storage space is one of the great Sisyphean tasks of the information age.

No matter how much you have, it's never enough, and you're always on the verge of running out.

That's why you should check out our top post, which guides you through using a little-known tool Apple built right into the Photos app -- a duplicate image remover.

The new tool is surprisingly sophisticated, and something Apple had to implement before turning on iCloud Shared Photo Library, which can lead to a lot of duplicates.

How to remove duplicate photos on iPhone, iPad and Mac

You could have dozens of copies of the same images in your Photos library, taking up space on your phone and in your iCloud account. Luckily, Apple offers an easy-to-use little tool that lets you find duplicate photos and delete the copies, all right from the Photos app.

A message from Momax

Momax power station packs 6 ports, 100W of power and wireless charging

The Momax 100W 6-Port Charging Station's name pretty much says it all, minus one crucial feature. Not only does it deliver a blistering 100 watts of power via six convenient USB-C and USB-A ports, it can fast-charge wirelessly. You just lay your iPhone or another Qi-enabled device on top of the station for that. Plus, it’s reasonably priced — and Cult of Mac readers can get 10% off with the discount code CULTOFMAC10 at Amazon checkout.

Those eager for their first glimpse at Apple’s VR/AR headset should check out a concept design that might well be our best look yet at a product supposedly coming later this year. It’s heavily based on leaked info about the upcoming virtual reality/augmented reality device — possibly called the “Reality Pro” — but with style added.

Retired Navy Chief Petty Officer Hal Howell recently shipped his computer setup to Cult of Mac for inspection, so to speak. He emailed photos and words, anyway. He runs an Intel Mac mini with an outboard engine of sorts on it for extra graphics processing power, plus Satechi USB-C hubs with extra ballast (er, storage). Check out the full manifest of the Navy man’s gear.
