Asus ProArt Display 5K review: 27-inch Retina for a bargain
The Asus ProArt Display might be the Studio Display alternative you've been waiting for with a 5K 27-inch matte display that's still sharp.Asus ProArt Display 5K reviewApple has spoiled me with its crystal-clear Retina displays from iPhone to iMac. The monitor market could never quite capture the same quality, and ever since the Studio Display arrived, it seemed to be the standard to compare to.I'm happy to say we've finally arrived at a sub-$1,000 monitor with similar specs and Retina resolution at 27 inches. The Asus ProArt Display 5K checks a lot of boxes, and it may just be what you're looking for at half the price. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums

OK Go’s clever iPhone-starring music video will start your weekend on a high note
Macworld Shooting music videos on iPhones is nothing new. Lady Gaga’s video for “Stupid Love” made a big deal about being shot “entirely on iPhone 11” almost five years ago. Olivia Rodrigo and Selena Gomez have shot music videos on iPhones, and most recently, The Weeknd’s “Dancing in the Flames” was shot in cinematic slow-mo on iPhone 16 Pro. But few actually feature the iPhone itself as much as OK Go’s new video for “A Stone Only Rolls Downhill.” You can watch it below. The video features “64 videos on 64 iPhones” and makes use of clever framing, choreography, and edits to tie it all together. Not only were all the videos shot on iPhone, but the iPhones are the star of the video. It’s difficult to judge exactly which iPhones are in use, but they appear to be iPhone 15 Pro models in bright colorful cases. In a short behind the scenes video you can see the phones have action buttons rather than mute switches, but no camera control button. And of course, they all feature a Dynamic Island.

Report: The M4 Mac mini’s rear USB-C ports are causing headaches
Macworld While the new M4 Mac mini has impressed us all with its small size and processing prowess, a USB-C connectivity problem has been baffling many early adopters. As spotted by AppleInsider, posts on several different forums by people who bought the Mac mini but have issues with connected USB-C devices. In many instances, the devices stop working or don’t work at all. Posts have appeared in the Apple Support Community, MacResource, and Reddit. The issue doesn’t appear to affect any of the other M4 Macs that were released at the same time. One pattern that appears from the various postings is that users are connecting USB-A devices by using a USB-C adapter on a rear Thunderbolt/USB-C port. They experience inconsistent connectivity, but once they switch to a front USB-C port, the devices work properly. Some users report problems with devices that draw power from the rear ports. In some cases, disconnecting the device and then reconnecting it fixes the problem. The M2 Mac mini had a pair of USB-A ports but Apple removed them when it redesigned the Mac mini with a smaller design, hence the need for USB-C-to-USB-A adapters. The problems seemingly don’t affect the Mac mini’s front ports, which are USB-C only and not Thunderbolt ports. This could be a sign of a problem between adapters communicating with the multi-purpose nature of the rear ports. The adapters could be inadequate at maintaining the signal that the rear ports require for making a connection. Apple has yet to comment on the issue. If you do need to use a USB-A to USB-C adapter to connect a device to a Mac, rely on products made by reputable companies, such as Apple’s own offering. It’s easy to find cheap adapters on Amazon from companies with nonsensical-sounding names, but in our experience, it’s worth the few extra dollars to invest in products from known companies.
