Today, Apple is rolling out macOS Sonoma. Here are the system requirements:
If your machine can run it, and the third-party apps you depend on are ready, Sonoma has been pretty solid in my testing over the summer.

Apple, in a new support document about the USB-C ports on the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro:
USB-C is a universally accepted standard that enables charging, syncing data, and playing audio and video. iPhone 15 models have a USB-C connector, which allows you to charge and connect to a variety of devices, including Mac, iPad, AirPods Pro (2nd generation), external storage devices, and displays.
A lot of folks’ initial impressions of Apple’s new FineWoven iPhone cases have been pretty bad. The new fabric back doesn’t feel premium enough for the price Apple is charging, and is already failing to hold up to real-world use, as Federico Viticci has discovered.
I immediately discovered that the hole cut out in the bottom of the case isn’t big enough to accommodate any of my third-party USB-C cables. Upon closer inspection, I realized one reason why:
Federico’s iOS and iPadOS 17 review is out. The guys talk through it this week before Myke puts Stephen on blast for his Mac setup.
I was personally attacked on my podcast in my own studio by Michael Hurley.

That free tier is still criminal, despite Apple temporarily giving folks space when transferring their data to a new phone.

“When you design an analogue watch with Snoopy, he’s a static character right?” says Paige Braddock, chief creative officer at Charles M Schulz Creative Associates. “So all you’re really focusing on is the hands and the arms. You wouldn’t believe the minutiae we go into to make them work at every angle, but going into this first meeting with Apple I was going I don’t even know if I’m smart enough to wear this watch.”
Some supervised iOS 6 devices may no longer be supervised after updating to iOS 7.
For devices that have not yet been updated to iOS 7, upgrade from iOS 6 to iOS 7.0.3 or later. The devices remain supervised using this upgrade path.
To celebrate, there’s a lot of great stuff out there to read.
Federico’s iOS and iPadOS 17 review is out and it’s great. I read through it this weekend and learned a lot, even though I’ve been running the betas most of the summer. Grab your iPad, kick back and enjoy this one.

Jennifer Pattison Tuohy has run through all the possible reasons the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max come with a Thread radio. Like the U1 chip a few years ago, I assume Apple has a story to tell her in the coming year or two.
