Review: SwitchBot Wallet Finder is an incredibly useful accessory to track your wallet with iPhone Find My
I have an AirTag on my keychain to keep track of my keys, but obviously an AirTag is too big and bulky to fit inside a wallet. That’s what the SwitchBot Wallet Finder is for, currently discounted to just $17.99 each (Disclosure: Affiliate links are used in this article in cooperation with SwitchBot.). Disguised inside a thin, credit-card form factor, the SwitchBot Wallet Finder connects to the Find My app on your iPhone, so you can follow its location, and it even houses a speaker so you can make it beep to help you find your wallet when it inevitably gets lost somewhere in your home.

When Apple dropped App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompts in iOS 14.5 back in 2021, it was a watershed moment for user privacy within third-party applications. Nothing like it had existed prior. The initiative gave iPhone users control over whether their in-app data could be aggregated and shared with third parties for advertising or other various purposes. Still, today, I often find comments online from people who don’t really know what it does and find the wording very taboo. Like, why “Ask” the app? And is it still effective?

Apple’s base model iPhone 18 might offer 12GB of memory, just like iPhone 17 Pro

However, the base iPhone 17 with its A19 chip missed out on this upgrade – still sticking with 8GB of unified memory. According to one report from The Bell (via MacRumors), though, that might change with the next model. more…

The standard model of iPhone 18 could have 50% more memory than the iPhone 17, a report claims, but in a change that may be driven by manufacturing limitations.The iPhone 18 range could end up looking like the iPhone 17 collection. Image credit: AppleInsiderThe iPhone 17 is the sole outlier of the 2025 iPhone releases in having only 8GB of memory. The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air all have a larger 12GB of memory to play with, leaving the standard model behind.However, according to a Saturday report from Korean publication The Bell, that probably won't be the case for the iPhone 18.

Review: Mac DVD Ripper one option for getting DVDS onto your iPad

It’s not particularly easy getting DVD content onto an iPad, though there are several ways of doing so. And this is something most iPad users will want to do since the Apple tablet is a sweet (if not HD) device for viewing video.

Digiarty Software has updated its US$39.95 DVD Ripper for Mac (http://www.winxdvd.com/dvd-ripper-for-mac/) with Power PC support added, so it’s an option worth considering. It now works with both PowerPC and Intel Macs. The app — formerly a Windows-only utility — lets you convert your DVD movie collections for playing on a Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod, PSP, etc.
