iPhone Life - Best Apps, Top Tips, Great Gear

For better or worse, AI is here to change how you use your Apple devices. During its June 10 WWDC keynote, Apple unveiled Apple Intelligence, a new artificial intelligence system for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. This new technology is powered by on-device processing and new private Apple silicon servers, which Apple has dubbed, “Private Cloud Compute.” With Apple Intelligence, you’ll have access to AI tools that will help you improve your writing, create artwork, communicate more clearly with Siri, and so much more.

Everything Apple Announced at the March 2022 'Peek Performance' Event

Apple held its first event of 2022 on March 8 and, after burying the lede by announcing the new shows that are coming to Apple TV Plus, the tech giant announced some truly exciting additions to the Apple family. Perhaps the biggest piece of news is the release of a brand new Mac computer called the Mac Studio and a monitor to go with it called the Studio Display. In addition to the Mac news, we also saw a new M1 iPad Air in five beautiful colors, the iPhone SE 3 complete with 5G, a brand new M1 Ultra chip to power the Apple line, a new "Friday Night Baseball" program on Apple TV, and green colors added to the iPhone 13 line. Here are all the details on the new devices.

Everything Apple Didn’t Announce at Spring 2022 Event & When We’ll Get it

Apple thrilled a lot of us during its March event with the debut of a new iPhone SE with 5G, a fifth-generation iPad Air with an M1 chip, and the powerful Studio Mac and Studio Display. Apple also teased the future release of an updated Mac Pro. The only thing that could’ve made the event more exciting would have been the confirmation of rumored updates to the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and the iMac. The iMac in particular could use an update since it's the only device in the Mac line that doesn’t have one of the newer Apple Silicon chips. Could newer versions of these three Macs make their debut in the late fall when Apple typically holds a Mac event? We’ll discuss the Macs that we didn’t see in today’s event and when we might be able to expect Apple to finally release them.

Though not much has changed on the outside, the SE 3 is jam-packed with high-end improvements. But, is the third-generation iPhone SE the upgrade you've been waiting for, or would it be better to go for the iPhone 13 mini, or even wait for the iPhone 14 mini? Let's find out.  

Apple’s All-New Studio Display Is Priced Just Right

The all-new Studio Display was announced alongside Mac Studio at Apple's March 8 "Peek Performance" event. Apple's new display features a 27-inch 5K Retina screen, which boasts 600 nits of brightness, and includes a 12-megapixel (MP) Ultra Wide camera with Center Stage and a high-fidelity six-speaker sound system that supports spatial audio.

2022 iPad Air (5th generation)

In their Spring 2022 event, Apple announced a new generation of iPad Air tablets. With some serious performance upgrades, these handy devices are now faster and more powerful. In fact, the features of the new iPad Air almost exactly mirror the more expensive iPad Pro. With only a few key features to set them apart, is the budget-friendly iPad Air your best option for an Apple tablet? Let's cover the new upgrades, the differences between the Pro and Air, and find out which iPad is right for you. 

If you have used FaceTime with three people or more, you have come across the scattered layout of floating bubbles, which can appear disorganized. Another issue with FaceTime’s layout is it gives no clear signal of who is talking during conversations. Fortunately, Apple has managed to find a solution to this problem with Grid View. Here’s how to enable and disable Grid View on FaceTime.

Privacy is important when using your iPhone and iPad, and if you’re using Chrome, your browsing activities and search history can be tracked. In addition, loved ones can easily pick up your iPhone and gain access to information that you don’t want them to see. Thankfully, there’s Incognito mode. Here’s how to apply Chrome’s private browsing mode on an iPhone or iPad.
