Google has posted a promo for its annual I/O developer conference, which takes place this year on May 12. But a lot of the responses are focusing on exactly the wrong thing: the promo video looks an awful lot like Apple’s Liquid Glass interface aesthetic.

“Biggest. Android. Updates. Ever,” wrote Android ecosystem president Sameer Samat in a post to X/Twitter this week. “You won’t want to miss it.”

Whether it doesn’t look its best anymore or you just want a style change, a new band can make your old Apple Watch feel new again.

Apple TV was created to bring the Apple experience to non-Apple displays at a time when flat-screen TVs were becoming affordable and smart TVs weren’t a mainstream thing yet. However, although its debut came just minutes before the original iPhone, Apple’s streaming box hasn’t matured as quickly Apple’s ubiquitous smartphone. 

Steve Jobs affectionately referred to Apple TV as a “hobby” at the time, and in many ways it still feels that way. Despite having a powerful chip inside and running tvOS... Читать дальше...

The ongoing memory shortage means even companies as large and powerful as Apple need to adapt. High allocations of RAM are becoming more and more difficult to offer, and it’s been noticed that several more configurations of the Mac Studio and Mac mini have dropped off the store.

As spotted this week by MacRumors, it’s no longer possible to buy the M3 Ultra Mac Studio from the U.S. Apple webstore with 256GB of RAM; you now have to settle for 96GB. Similarly, the M4 Pro Mac mini has lost its top 64GB option... Читать дальше...

May is usually a slow month for Apple releases, and it should be no different this year. Apple’s OS 26es are still getting updates—the latest version, 26.5, will arrive this month—but they’re really minor at this point, as most of the work in Cupertino has long since shifted to the next major release.

With the WWDC keynote set for June 8, big releases or major announcements would likely wait for that event. We don’t expect much to be announced in May, leaving most... Читать дальше...
