Meet Swippitt, a $600 toaster that makes sure your iPhone is always charged
Macworld It’s a first-world problem: You can never have enough iPhone battery life, and charging, despite it being faster than ever, is never fast enough. Swippitt offers a different approach to battery charging–if you’re willing to pay the price. Swippitt is a two-part system. The first is Swippitt Link, a battery case for the iPhone. The second is a toaster-like device called the Swippitt Hub that houses and charges five batteries that work in the Link case. When you insert the Swippitt Link-encased iPhone into the Hub, the battery in the Link is swapped out with one of the charged batteries in the Hub. See the video below for a demonstration of how it works. #id677d6d1f67ea2 .jw-wrapper::before { content: "Swippitt demo" !important; } So to call Swippitt a “battery charger” isn’t accurate, though it does charge batteries, but just the ones for the Swippitt Link. It’s really a battery system, where the Hub swaps out batteries with the Link case, and then charges the swapped battery. Swapping out the battery takes only a few seconds–a lot faster than waiting for a fast charge via USB. The Hub holds five batteries and uses proprietary software to manage the batteries so that they’re ready to be swapped. Since it holds five batteries, a Hub can support up to five users. Swippitt is compatible with the iPhone 14, 15, and 16 models, and the company says it will create new Link cases should Apple introduce new iPhones designs. This charging convenience has a hefty price, starting at $450 for the Swippitt Hub which measures a sizeable 13.2 by 11.4 by 6.8 inches (335.6 by 288.7 by 172.5 mm), and $120 for the Swippitt Link case. The device starts shipping in June and the company is accepting pre-orders with a 30-percent discount during the Consumer Electronic Show this week.

Apple's AI Is Proving It's Anything But Intelligent
Complaints and ridicule have been mounting about mistakes by the iPhone maker's hyped feature, and its flaws risk a serious setback. Bloomberg: If you've seen any of Apple's marketing lately, you'll know the latest iPhone is billed as the first "built for Apple Intelligence." The "for" in that sentence is doing a great deal of work. It couldn't be "with" because Apple's AI features weren't ready when the device came out, and some are still yet to be released. The first were added to devices in iOS version 18.1, which came out in October. These AI bells and whistles require users to physically opt in, and Apple has deemed the product in "beta" despite marketing it as the main reason to buy its latest device. "Hello, Apple Intelligence" is the message greeting visitors to Apple.com today. If you go into a store, it's what the sales representatives push most excitedly. But just like the Maps fiasco, Apple's AI isn't ready for the real world. Complaints and ridicule have been mounting. In December, a BBC notification was rewritten by Apple Intelligence to state falsely that Luigi Mangione, who has been charged in the killing of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, had turned a gun on himself. Last week, a summary crowned a darts champion before the match had started. Later the same evening, an alert falsely stated that Rafael Nadal had come out as gay. It's not just the BBC that's experiencing this issue. A New York Times headline was rewritten to suggest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had been arrested. "Nikki Glaser killed at Golden Globes," read another false summary. The mistakes have prompted the nonprofit Reporters Without Borders to call for Apple to "act responsibly" and remove the feature.

Tenorshare PDNob PDF Editor for Mac review: Decent for specific use cases
Macworld At a glanceExpert's Rating Pros Offers a wide variety of editing and annotation tools Has a modern user interface and is intuitive to operate Includes a free trial and multiple subscription packages Cons Monthly plan is relatively costly, and there’s no lifetime option Doesn’t offer iOS or iPadOS clients for mobile editing Account deletion requires contacting customer support Our Verdict If you have short-term PDF editing needs it’s not ideal, due to it’s high monthly price, and there’s no iPhone client, but it supports editing, adding and removing images, inserting links, watermarking, deleting or reorganizing pages, and includes a optical character recognition (OCR) engine. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Price When Reviewed$14.99 a month (currently FREE), $35.99 a year (currently $4.99) Best Prices Today: PDNob PDF Editor for Mac Retailer Price Tenorshare $15.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket In an increasingly digital world, PDF editors have become essential for numerous Mac users. While macOS offers an Apple Preview app for viewing and annotating PDFs by default, thoroughly editing these documents requires third-party software. Tenorshare PDNob PDF Editor for Mac is one of the options you may come across when hunting for a compatible application. Is it worth the recurring fees, though? Pricing and availability Tenorshare’s PDNob PDF Editor (we can hear the Brits sniggering at the name) is only available on macOS 10.15, Windows 10, and newer versions of the two operating systems. So, unlike many similar apps, the company doesn’t offer an iPhone or iPad client for editing on the go. To help you evaluate the service, Tenorshare offers a 14-day free trial that unlocks PDNob PDF Editor’s tools—albeit with typical limitations, like watermarks and whatnot. Once the period elapses, you can pick between 1-month, 1-year, and 3-year licenses that renew automatically. At the time of writing, these subscriptions cost $15 (approx £11.99), $36 (£28.87), and $46 (£36.78), respectively. Notably, there’s no lifetime tier for those who prefer to pay once for unlimited access. At the time of this review Tenorshare has an offer that indicates the 1 month licence is free, this appears to just be to access the 14-day trial though. Find out how PDNob PDF Editor compares to the other Mac PDF editors in our round up. We also look at the best free PDF editors for Mac. First impressions Foundry PDNob PDF Editor has a sleek user interface, featuring modern buttons that easily convey their associated actions. When you first load the app, you get to open files via Finder or create a new PDF document from scratch. The service also offers 20GB of cloud storage, and you can similarly pick from files you’ve previously uploaded. To activate your paid perks, however, you’re required to create an account. If you change your mind later on, there appears to be no way to delete your account and its associated data from Tenorshare servers. Instead, the privacy policy suggests you contact support to request deletion. Contacting support, however, has been unfruitful, as the company continues to send generic, irrelevant emails instead of actually terminating the account. Different users have different standards when it comes to data and privacy, but I personally stay away from services that don’t offer a direct account deletion button—especially when customer support isn’t helpful and there are plenty of other alternatives out there. Features Foundry When it comes to its actual functionality, PDNob PDF Editor offers a decent set of tools that help users manipulate PDF file content. For annotation, Tenorshare lets users insert shapes, highlight text, leave comments, doodle, strike through, add stamps, and more. Similarly, the app supports most of the PDF editing utilities you’d find elsewhere. These include fully editing the text, adding and removing images, inserting links, watermarking, deleting or reorganizing pages, etc. PDNob PDF Editor packs other neat features, such as an optical character recognition (OCR) engine for converting photographed documents to text, password protection, compression, conversion between popular file formats, merging, automatic indexing, and more. Foundry Beyond that, PDNob PDF Editor also packs an AI assistant, but it failed miserably when I attempted to use it. After uploading the file to the cloud, it automatically stated what the document was about but then failed to answer any of my follow-up questions. It didn’t hallucinate or provide false information—it simply couldn’t comprehend what my (very) basic questions meant and continued asking for further clarification. Is PDNob PDF Editor for Mac worth it? Foundry In theory, Tenorshare’s PDNob PDF Editor is excellent for those with basic to intermediate needs. While it doesn’t necessarily cater to advanced PDF editing workflows, the tools it offers should—for the most part—work reliably during casual sessions. However, there are certain downsides you may want to consider before paying for the software. For example, if you have short-term PDF editing needs, I’d advise you to look elsewhere. You can easily find better solutions that cost less than $15 per month. The 1-year and 3-year plans are more fairly priced than the monthly one. Similarly, if you’re seeking a PDF editor with a mobile client, a functional AI chatbot, or better data practices, then Tenorshare’s app is not it. Ultimately, if you’re still unsure about this software, you can try it for free and see for yourself.

The best iPhone deals this month
Macworld You don’t have to pay full price to buy an iPhone; if you shop around you can find a bargain. Every month the Macworld team hunts down the best prices on iPhones at all major retailers and cellphone operators, saving you the hassle of finding the best iPhone deals. In this article, we reveal the best iPhone deals, contracts, and bundles available right now. We’ll help you find a discounted iPhone suitable for any budget, and cover all the currently available models, including the brand-new iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max, as well as 2023’s iPhone 15 and 15 Plus. We also have the best prices for older iPhones, including models that Apple has removed from sale, but which you can still buy elsewhere. The iPhone 16 is the latest iPhone to arrive, debuting in September 2024. It will be followed this year by the iPhone 17 and (probably) iPhone SE 4. You might also like to read our detailed iPhone buying guide, and our comparison of every iPhone available to buy today. Best iPhone deals right now U.S. In the U.S., the only big iPhone deals you can find come from carriers, and have a lot of strings attached. Typically, you have to buy a phone on a multi-year installment plan and get your discount in the form of monthly bill credits. AT&T: Get up to $1,000 in bill credits when you buy a new iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max and trade in your old phone, with a qualifying unlimited plan. Up to $700 towards an iPhone 15 or 15 Plus. T-Mobile: Get up to $830 in bill credits toward the purchase of any iPhone 15 model when you trade in your old phone and join the Go5G plan. Verizon: Get up to $839 in bill credits toward any iPhone 15 model with trade-in and the activation of a new line. U.K. In the U.K., Apple-certified resellers discount unlocked iPhones frequently. Look for money off at Amazon, John Lewis, Currys, and Very. It’s possible to find small discounts on on the new 16-series iPhones, and more substantial discounts on older models such as the now-discontinued iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Pro. John Lewis, iPhone 16 (128GB): £749 (£50 off, RRP £799) John Lewis, iPhone 16 Plus (128GB): £849 (£50 off, RRP £899) John Lewis, iPhone 16 Pro (128GB): £949 (£50 off, RRP £999) John Lewis, iPhone 16 Pro Max (128GB): £1,149 (£50 off, RRP £1,199) Amazon, iPhone 15 (128GB): £638 (£61 off, RRP £699) Amazon, iPhone 15 Plus (128GB): £749 (£50 off, RRP £799) Amazon, iPhone 15 Pro (256GB): £949 (£150 off, RRP was £1,099 – Clearance) Amazon, iPhone 15 Pro Max (256GB): £1,049 (£150 off, RRP was £1,199 – Clearance) Amazon, iPhone 14 (128GB): £549 (£50 off, RRP £599) Argos, iPhone 13 (128GB): £449 (£150 off, most recent RRP was £599 – Clearance) For models that Apple no longer sells, bear in mind that we can only compare current prices against RRPs from before their discontinuation. It’s reasonable to assume that the price of the iPhone 15 Pro, for example, would have dropped in September 2024 if Apple hadn’t stopped selling it. There’s more information in the individual sections below. Also see our dedicated round-ups of the best iPhone deals: iPhone 16 & iPhone 16 Pro deals (US) and iPhone 16 & iPhone 16 Pro deals (UK) iPhone 15 & iPhone 15 Pro deals (US) and iPhone 15 & iPhone 15 Pro deals (UK) iPhone 14 & iPhone 14 Pro deals iPhone 13 deals Best iPhone SE deals Where to buy an iPhone Apple is the obvious place to look for a new iPhone. You can purchase directly from Apple’s online store (there’s a separate U.K. store), which won’t give you savings, but does at least allow you to take advantage of trading in your old iPhone (see: How to sell or trade-in your old iPhone). We also have a complete guide to every iPhone Apple sells. Alternatively, Amazon U.K. regularly discounts iPhone models, so it’s well worth keeping an eye out there. If you think you’ll be doing lots of Amazon shopping, we’d recommend signing up to the 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime for free next-day delivery and access to deals 30 minutes early. You can sign up here. Amazon U.S. offers fewer savings on SIM-free iPhones, but we do see them from time to time. It’s always worth checking the price of the iPhones in the following U.S. stores, which occasionally provide solid savings: Amazon Walmart Best Buy And U.K. readers should try these shops: Amazon U.K. John Lewis Carphone Warehouse KRCS In addition, we recommend you check out our automatically updated price tables, embedded below, which gather the best prices from a wide range of retailers in your region.

Before it was discontinued in fall 2023, Apple used to sell it for $599/£649 (and before that it cost $699/£679).
