In his latest note, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo wrote that he believes the upcoming Apple Watch Series 10 will feature a thinner chassis and a larger display, compared to . What is perhaps most surprising is just how much bigger Kuo believes the screens are getting. Kuo says the Watch will increase from the current 41mm and 45mm sizes to about 45mm and 49mm respectively. Remember, unlike other Apple devices, these sizes measure case height of the watch, not diagonal screen size. Naturally, a taller case also means a bigger display. For comparison, the current Apple Watch Ultra is also measured at 49mm case height. more…1 hour agoGet lifetime access to 500GB of cloud backup for 66% off

Macworld When you’re out and about, it’s always a fantastic idea to have a portable power bank on you because you never know just how fast your phone will drain. The Anker Nano portable charger is a fantastic choice since it’s only $18 at Amazon, down from $26, and it’s the best price yet. This is a super compact portable power bank that will even fit into women’s pockets. I just recently got one of these, and it performed super well, keeping my phone alive during a Coldplay concert. The Anker Nano has a 5,000mAh capacity, which should provide you with a full charge for your device – or pretty close to it. Whether you’re binge-watching your favorite series on a long journey or need to make sure your phone still has juice to call an Uber after the concert’s done, the tiny Anker Nano has you covered. The Anker Nano has a built-in Lightning connector, making it incredibly convenient for Apple users. You won’t need to carry any extra cables or anything—you just plug it into your smartphone and go about your day. Since this is the Lightning connector version, it won’t work with the newer iPhone models. The Anker Nano’s USB-C version is on sale for $19 at Amazon. Since the connector flips into place, I suggest you hold onto both the battery and your phone while it’s plugged in. The Anker Nano is fairly light, but you’ll still feel its weight, and you really don’t want it to drop to the ground. The power bank has 12W fast charging capability, which allows you to power your device quickly and efficiently. Since the Anker Nano is only $18 at Amazon right now, there should be nothing keeping you from adding this tiny thing to your cart straight away.

For years, Apple provided its built-in Keychain password management tool hidden within the Settings app. This tool allowed passwords to be automatically generated and saved in the Passwords section, but it could often be cumbersome when a user needs to quickly manage particular logins. Now, in iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia, passwords have broken away into its own dedicated app called Passwords. Apple hopes this change will make managing credentials more convenient for its users, but one question is on everyone’s mind right now: Does it offer enough to replace paid password managers? Let’s talk about it. more…02:45 pmToday in Apple history: iPhone 4 preorders set an impressive record
