Apple is to enable eye tracking on the iPhone and iPad as part of a new range of accessibility tools aimed at helping those with physical disabilities to more easily use their devices. Using artificial intelligence, it will allow users to navigate their Apple device using just their eyes. The new feature is joined by a new Music Haptics tool, which uses the taptic engine in the iPhone – which powers the vibrations on the device – to enable those who are deaf or hard of hearing to experience music vibrating to the audio of the music. Apple said it was also introducing new speech features which ...

Apple had been taking its sweet time with an iPad update. After no new iPad models showed in 2023, rivals like Samsung with its Galaxy Tab and Microsoft with the Surface tablets started to try to fill the gap left by Apple. Now, however, it is likely to become more difficult for them to score points against the market leader in the world of tablets. This much becomes clear when you try out the new 11-inch iPad Pro. There are three main reasons why Apple clearly has taken the lead again. Firstly, the new top-of-the-range iPad models are thinner and lighter than ever before. Secondly, the new hi...

After hitting a nerve with the public in a promotional video for its new iPads, Apple has apologized for the ad, which sees musical instruments and other creative resources being crushed by a gigantic press. In the video, viewers see the likes of a piano, trumpet, pots of paint, cameras, a sculpture and a video game machine twisting, shattering and bursting as they are compressed. Then, when the press opens again, all that's left is an iPad. The sheer level of destruction in the ad, which had been intended to sensationalize the capabilities of Apple's recently unveiled iPad Pro models, sparked...

Blake Crouch has enjoyably adapted his own 2016 novel "Dark Matter" into a nine-episode series for Apple TV+, which aims to be your destination for classy sci-fi. It's got nothing to do with "dark matter" except as Shakespeare might have used the phrase to describe some sinister business — "This dark matter doth shade our bright prospects," something like that. Pseudoscientifically speaking, this is a parallel realities series, with a dose of domestic drama, some secret project shenanigans and a structure that recalls the Odyssey, in that it's the story of a man facing monstrous obstacles and ...

Apple has unveiled a new range of iPads including a more powerful - and more expensive - Pro series that appears to be setting the increasingly feature-rich tablets up to rival Apple's own Mac computers. The next iPad Pro is the first Apple device with the M4 chip, which is more focussed on apps using AI. The new models also come with an OLED screens for inkier blacks, and the version with a 13-inch display is the thinnest Apple device to date with a thickness of 5.1 millimetres, the company said at the unveiling on Tuesday. Apple used to describe the iPad as its vision for the future of the p...

Berlin (dpa) — When buying a new smartphone, we're often faced with the same question: How much storage space do I need? The smartest option might seem to be to go for the model with the most onboard memory. However, the most cost-effective solution may be to upgrade your cloud subscription instead. When buying an iPhone the costs varies depending on the storage size. For the iPhone 15, for example, the 256 GB model costs €130 more than the basic version with 128 GB. In the US, it's $100 more. For 512 GB the additional charge is €250 or $300 in the US. Similar price differences can also be fou...

Apple's audio brand Beats has just given its best-selling model - the Solo headphone series - a major upgrade. The highlights of the fourth-gen Beats Solo: They can now handle 3D audio, they have a longer battery life and they work better with Android smartphones. However, you will still be looking in vain for an IP rating for protection against water. The same goes for active noise cancelling. The price remains unchanged at $199.99 or €229.95. A new 40-millimetre driver provides the sound in the Beats Solo 4. This was accompanied by a modification to the acoustics to avoid distortion. The USB...

EU officials have told Apple to also authorize alternative marketplaces on the iPad, in a new European Commission decision that also categorizes Apple's iPadOS operating system as a "gatekeeper" technology. Apple now has six months to implement the far-reaching rules of the European Union's Digital Markets Act. The decision comes after the EU previously forced Apple to allow rivals to the App Store on iPhones in Europe. Similar to the iPhone, the US company must let users install alternative app stores for the iPad in the EU. In addition, the iPadOS tablet operating system must also support br...
