Apple offers boosted trade-ins until June 3 if you a new iPhone
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.

A new ultra-thin iPhone model is said to be the new highest-end model, perhaps sporting the name iPhone 17 Ultra. Here’s what that next leap-forward iPhone might bring. more…

Report: AirTag update coming next year but not much is changing
Macworld In the latest Power On Newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that Apple will be upgrading the AirTag in the middle of 2025. The upgrade would be the first since the tracking device was released in April 2021. As for what the upgrade will include, Gurman states it will have “a better chip with improved location tracking.” The current AirTag has Apple’s U1 chip, which uses ultra-wideband (UWB) technology to give a device with the chip spatial awareness. With the iPhone 15 Pro, Apple released a second-generation UWB chip with better precision. So, it appears that Apple will update the AirTag with the new chip. Gurman doesn’t mention any other features, but he does say his personal wish list includes a louder speaker, better battery life, and a size that fits well in a wallet. Whether his wish list is his way of implying that these are possible features is not clear. Gurman also states that Apple is already doing test production runs of the new AirTag. A new AirTag seems like a good product to make available during the holiday shopping season, so if Apple is already doing a test run, perhaps the release schedule could move up to the latter part of this year. However, the original AirTag was released in April so a similar timeframe seems equally possible., The AirTag is a disk-shaped Bluetooth device that is used as a tracker. It works with the Find My app that can be used to determine the approximate location of the items attached to the AirTag. To learn more, read our AirTag review and check out our AirTag superguide.
