    Safari Overheating iPad (18.1) until force quit

    I'm having a fairly weird issue with my iPad Air (M1) since updating to the 18.1 beta. Somewhat randomly when using Safari the processor starts to heat up to the point where the iPad is warm to the touch, battery starts rapidly draining and it will not stop until I quit Safari. I've noticed it...

    iPhone 16 Pro Why the iPhone is still state-of-the-art. And better.

    I want to take up the cudgels for the iPhone and what it can do. Most people won't know me, but very briefly: I'm annoyed by the high prices, I'm annoyed by how Apple no longer thinks many functions through or deliberately leaves them unfinished. But in comparison, Apple continues to be very...

    As WWDC 2024 draws closer, we already have possible leaked lists of supported devices for iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and watchOS 11.

    iPad Bulk iPad Setup and Master AppleID Question

    Hello all you Apple folks. I have what to me seems like a dumb question (dumb question as in something that I should know, but I don't). Is there a way to configure some master AppleID? I'd rather not pay for MDM service. But, I also want to be able to have a stricter AppleID that only a few...
