If you’ve ever unlocked your iPhone at midnight, looking for a sleep playlist while already half asleep, Apple’s iOS 26.4 can make life easier for you.  The iOS 26.4 release candidate is here, and among several additions, it introduces something called Ambient Music widgets. These are mood-based playlists that you can play with a single tap on your home screen (on the widget).  What moods can you choose from?

Apple loyalists hoping to snap shut their foldable iPhone by autumn may need to exercise a little more patience. The iPhone Fold, initially expected to launch alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max at Apple’s September event, might not ship with these iPhones.  According to Apple analyst Tim Long, the iPhone Fold will likely begin shipping in December, rather than in September. This contradicts previous reports suggesting a September release (via MacRumors). So, what will Apple showcase in September 2026? To me, it sounds like Apple could still showcase the iPhone Fold at the iPhone 18 Pro…

Google is working on a feature in Android 17 that could quietly remove one of the most annoying security steps on your phone.

Apple’s brand-new MacBook Neo runs on the same chip as the iPhone 16 Pro, but it doesn’t charge as fast as the 2024 flagship iPhone. Or at least that is what Apple tells you in the official spec sheet.  The MacBook Neo comes with a 20W USB-C power adapter in the box, a choice that looks increasingly odd, especially since the device had the best Mac launch week ever with first-time buyers.  The included charger with the MacBook Neo is too slow According to ChargerLAB’s tests, the Neo peaks at just 18W with the bundled charger.
