Five years after Connecticut said it would be one of the first states with driver’s licenses in Apple Wallet, its Mobile ID launches as a separate app instead, with Wallet support pushed to 2027. Here’s how that ends.
Apple’s new HomeView is built for the kitchen, but it has no App Store, no YouTube app, and no way to run a recipe manager like Paprika. Watching YouTube in Safari on a 7-inch square screen is not a plan.
Tech media loves the Apple TV, but its touchy Siri Remote is a disaster with kids. I swapped it for a $38 button remote, and at $299 versus $149.99, the Roku Ultra makes a lot more sense, home-screen ads and all.
Messenger syncs across every device I own and lets Siri send messages from my car. But unlike WhatsApp and Apple Messages, it won’t read me the replies.

A 25-cent service fee, a $50 card hold and a $7 parking fee on $3 of electricity, and the one alert that mattered showed up an hour late.
What happened when I pointed an AI desktop assistant at my neglected personal website, plus how it helps at work. No hype, just the list.
iOS 26 and iOS 27 brought video to CarPlay while parked. Automakers have to turn it on, and so far none have. Apple, push harder.
The iPhone Duo’s app growing pains are new. Mac users locked out of iPhone and iPad apps by a single checkbox is not, and the touchscreen MacBook Pro makes it even dumber.
If you’ve opened YouTube TV and found a dead, silent home screen where a live video should be playing, you’re not imagining it. I’ve been chasing this for a while, and it’s one of the more annoying tech mysteries in my house. The setup YouTube TV has an “autoplay on start” option. You find it…
If you’ve ever been cruising down I-95 with Maps up on your CarPlay screen and had a call from “Extended Warranty Services” blast through your car speakers at full volume — in front of your boss, your kids, or your in-laws — you already know the punchline of this post. iOS’s call and text screening…
