  • Macworld TL;DR: Replace your separate AI writing, image, and audio apps with a 1min.AI lifetime subscription for $69.97 (reg. $540). Writing, image editing, and voiceovers each tend to need their own AI app with their own monthly bill. Mac users who make content often pay for three or four of them at once. You can avoid […]
  • Macworld The iPhone Duo, which launched last month to mixed reviews, contains a range of technological feats and breakthroughs. One of these is its nano-texture interior screen, which contrasts with the glossy outer screen and helps to conceal the crease that marred so many early (and a fair few more recent) foldable phones. The Duo […]
  • Macworld Apple’s new MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display isn’t just the best display ever put in a laptop. It’s also Apple’s first-ever touchscreen in a Mac and the first time macOS has supported Touch as an input option. It’s a feature we longtime Mac users thought we’d never see, mostly because Apple has a […]

And yes, while Xerox Parc had the first GUI for computers, it took the foresight of Steve Jobs to ship a computer with a graphical user interface controlled by a mouse on a computer for the consumer market.
