Apple

All of the major smartphones of 2020 are out – but which is best for you? New Atlas compares the specs and features of the iPhone 12 mini, 12, 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max, the Google Pixel 4a, 4a 5G and 5, and the Samsung Galaxy S20, S20+ and S20 Ultra.

Apple told us it was transitioning its computers away from Intel chips to its own custom-made Apple silicon in June, and today it launched the first models to make the switch: a new Mac mini, a new MacBook Air, and a new 13-inch MacBook Pro.

One of the original circuit boards hand-made by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak for the first iteration "blue box" phone phreaking device in 1972 is going to auction, with an estimate of US$8,000 to $12,000.

Apple has finally shown off this year’s iPhone 12 models – but are they worth the upgrade? New Atlas compares the specs and features of the iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max against the iPhone SE, iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max.

At its hardware launch event today – where we also saw new iPhone 12 handsets – Apple introduced the HomePod mini, a smaller and more affordable follow-up to the first HomePod that launched back in 2017.

Apple's annual iPhone unveiling is always one of the biggest events on the tech calendar. We now have our first proper look at the four iPhone 12 handsets that will be Apple's flagship phones for the next 12 months.

We would ordinarily have seen a new iPhone by this point in September, but Apple is behind schedule this year. It has, however, used a special online event dubbed Time Flies to launch new Apple Watches, iPads, and subscription services.

Described by Apple as its most ambitious retail project, the newly-completed Apple Marina Bay Sands appears to float on the water in Singapore, features generous glazing offering stunning panoramic views and can be reached by an underwater entrance.

Apple and Foster + Partners go to a lot of effort to lend each flagship Apple Store its own identity. Few are as striking as Apple Central World though, which consists of a circular glass store centered around an intricate wooden conical structure.

Mid-range phones have more modest price tags while still packing many high-end features. But how do they stack up against each other? New Atlas compares the specs and features of the iPhone SE (2020), the Google Pixel 4a and the Samsung Galaxy A51.

Apple has announced a modest upgrade to the 27-in iMac. The new machines pack up to 10-core Intel processors, solid state drives (SSD) for faster storage, a higher-resolution FaceTime camera and a few other hardware tune-ups under the hood.

Apple and Foster + Partners have collaborated on another new store, this time in Beijing, China. Named Apple Sanlitun, the project is defined by its generous glazing, which helps fill the interior with natural light, and is topped by solar panels.
