Then again, a significant percentage of people have, over the past few years, already switched to wireless MagSafe charging and the Lightning to USB change will be of little consequence.

Apple really, really needs to step up their anti-theft detection game. Make sure all devices have Find My capabilities that aren't easily thwarted. Should also be able to put an AirTag into "stolen" mode that starts showing up on police computer systems.

If stealing an Apple device means that you're going to get caught, then fewer people will try to steal them.

(Realize this was about a backpack, but same applies.)

So this is a thing now because of Apple? Good thing Timex, Rolex, and all the other "dumb" watches never, ever had this problem.

As far as I can tell, Apple already hits most of the targets for recycling, use of recycled material, and so on.

Forget iPhone. What's going to be interesting is the impact this ruling has on earphones. Both AirPods and this from other manufacturers.

The case contains the MagSafe wireless charging coil, which in turn charges the iPad via the keyboard connectors. Such an accessory could make many of the current iPads charge wirelessly.

Nice.
