Apple's fastest computers are the new iPad Pro, and M2 Ultra Mac Studio. Here's how, where, and when the iPad Pro can best Apple's speed-demon desktop.Apple's chips are becoming more proficient for gaming. Whenever Apple or any other tech company rolls out a new product, there is usually a rush to try and compare them.

Macworld From now until June 3, Apple is improving its trade-in offers for those giving up their old iPhones and getting a new one. The deal is good on any new iPhone purchase, as long as you’re trading in at least an iPhone 11 or newer. The amount you get varies based on the model and condition of the phone, but trade-in values are going up from $10 to $30. An iPhone 13 used to have a trade-in value of $300, but you’ll get $320 until June 3, for example. Apple is planning to launch the iPhone 16 in September, but if you need a new iPhone now, this is a great chance to get it for a few bucks less. The new model won’t be all that different than the iPhone 15, but it will bring some new features, including a slightly larger screen and updated cameras. Apple will also show off all of the new features coming to older phones in iOS 18 at WWDC on June 10. Your best trade-in deals in the U.S. will still come from carriers, but Apple’s trade-in is one of the only ways to get an iPhone without being locked into some extended service with a specific carrier. We have some additional advice in our guide to selling or trading in your iPhone.
