Apple TV remains arguably the best streaming service for sci-fi fans, with two major sci-fi shows airing now and even more new premieres coming soon.

It is spring 2026, and that magical time of year when the sun is shining, the grass is growing, and flowers bloom. We are heading into near-perfect weather. Spring in the southern US generally brings plenty of showers. It will not be long until the brutal summer heat arrives, with 97 degrees, 90% humidity, full sun, and no rain in the forecast.

Winning against the brutal summer heat with your plants requires a strong foundation right now, and getting them plenty of water consistently is the absolute key to survival. I have generally opposed professionally installed irrigation systems due to the upkeep required. I have long used the Eve Aqua instead. It is a great way to quickly deploy a maintenance-free, Apple Home-enabled sprinkler system.

The vapor chamber and switching to aluminum from titanium both make a noticeable difference in sustained performance and improved thermal management. However, my favorite hardware improvement in years isn’t limited to the Pro series.

Reports have indicated for months that iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will pack several design updates. Now a new leak indicates that one of those changes—a smaller Dynamic Island—will apply to more iPhone 18 models too.

Although I appreciate Apple’s desire to keep the stock Photos app as simple as possible to use, there are a number of surprising omissions.

One of them is that there’s no way to sort or filter videos by length or file size. That’s a pretty fundamental missing feature if you’re trying to free up iPhone storage by deleting some of your largest unwanted videos. Fortunately, there’s a Shortcut available to do the job …

In a new filing, iyO alleges that former Apple designer and now io co-founder Tang Tan was given access to its confidential designs, broadening the initial scope of the lawsuit against OpenAI. Here are the details.
