John Ternus could borrow from Microsoft’s playbook to reinvigorate Apple Microsoft recently announced something rather interesting – a voluntary employee buyout. In short, if your age and tenure at the company add up to 70 or greater, you’re able to voluntarily leave the company, retire early, and receive a (likely) hefty payout.
It’s a less hostile form of layoffs, and while I don’t think Apple would implement it for the same reasons as Microsoft, I think it could serve a unique purpose for transforming the company.

The new iPhones have a problem turning back on after the battery runs out Last night, my iPhone Air battery went to zero about 11 PM. I plugged in the USB-C charging cable within seconds of it shutting down, assuming it would immediately boot up again, like you expect. But it didn’t. Minutes passed and nothing happened. There was no low battery indicator visible on the screen; the display was just black. It was like the phone was dead.
It turns out this is a thing. There are several threads online with posts from other iPhone owners describing the exact same issue, seemingly across all iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air models …

You don’t need a scanner anymore — just this $25.97 app Macworld
TL;DR: Get a lifetime subscription to iScanner for $25.97 (MSRP $199.90) and scan, edit, and manage documents directly from your phone.
There’s always that moment when you need to scan something — a receipt, a form, a contract — and suddenly you’re stuck without a printer, a scanner, or the patience to deal with either. Taking a photo works… until it doesn’t. That’s where something more purpose-built starts to make sense. This iScanner App lifetime subscription is down to $25.97 (MSRP $199.90), turning your phone into a full-on document hub.
Instead of snapping messy photos, iScanner automatically detects edges, straightens pages, and cleans up the image so your scans actually look like proper documents. It can export files in multiple formats like PDF, Word, or JPG, and even pulls text from scans using OCR so you can edit or search them later. The app also doubles as a lightweight editor and file manager, so you can sign documents, organize files, and keep everything in one place.
iScanner turns your phone into the ultimate document hub
Scan documents, IDs, receipts, and notes in seconds
Convert files to PDF, Word, Excel, and more
Edit, sign, annotate, or merge documents
Use AI tools to clean up scans and extract text
Organize everything with folders and secure storage
It’s built for real-life use — quick scans on the go, not perfect desk setups.
Until May 3, grab a lifetime subscription to iScanner for $25.97 and stop fighting with your home scanner.

Apple Vision Pro suffered from indecisive leadership – here’s how it could change Apple Vision Pro has been one of the most perplexing Apple product launches in recent history. It’s meant to serve as the beginning of an all new product category for Apple – and more importantly – the next generation of computing. And yet, it feels like a complete afterthought to the company.
Under John Ternus, I’m slightly hopeful that we can start to see the product live up to its full potential – though there’s also reason to be skeptical.
