Staff Pick

Speculation is already rampant about whether Apple is giving us a tease with the invites.
Some suggest it includes the new colors for the iPhone 11R.
Is Apple hinting at the rumored green and lavender iPhone 11R?

Today, Apple sent out invites for its upcoming September 10 event where it’s expected to announce the new iPhones. We’ve already done a deep dive about what to expect from the event, but people have taken it a step further and begun to hyper analyze the invite (via 9to5Mac). So is Apple teasing us?

Let’s take a look at the logo and examine.

In case you haven’t seen the ”By innovation only” invite, the most eye-catching part of is the colorful logo at the top. It has a mixture of five colors each occupying a specific part of the logo, much like how the original rainbow logo.

However, these colors are quite peculiar. Three of the colors match options already…

Is there such a thing as too many magazines?

What you need to know

Apple News+ limits the number of magazines and channels you can follow.
iMore has confirmed that the limit maxes out at 250.
Apple apparently told an iMore reader that it doesn’t intend on lifting or expanding the limit.
In Apple News+, subscribers can easily follow magazines and channels to get the latest content automatically. When you follow a magazine, the latest issue will appear at the top of your News+ tab so you can easily see what’s new. You can literally follow hundreds of magazines and channels in News+, 250 to be exact, and yes, we counted. But apparently, there is a limit to what Apple thinks is an appropriate number of magazines and channels to follow.

An iMore reader contacted us about the issue (because we’d never been anywhere near reaching the limit ourselves) stating that, once the limit was reached, they received a popup message saying that in order to follow new content, they had to remove some…

Want to purchase a song you love listening to on Apple Music? There’s only one way to do it now, and it’s a little annoying.

When Apple redesigned the iPhone and iPad’s Music app to focus on your music collection, iCloud Music Library, and Apple Music, it removed all traces of a previously-highly-placed item: iTunes. Yes, streaming music is all the rage, and for good reason — with offline play and customized playlists, your music library is bigger and more interesting than ever before. But if you still like occasionally owning music, the iTunes app is where you’ll do your purchasing.

One frustrating side-effect of this change: It’s now much more difficult to buy a song you’ve found and love on Apple Music. There’s no direct way to ”Open in iTunes,” even if a song or album isn’t supported in Apple Music at all. (I see you, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1.) Instead, when you stumble across non-streamable media in the Music app, you’ll be greeted with a depressing alert infor…

Apple is highlighting some very cute customized AirPods in its latest ad.
The video ad was posted on its Korean YouTube channel.
It shows off AirPods with unique cases, odd-looking skins and impressive paint jobs.
AirPods are just white, but if you use your imagination, they can be so much more.

Since their announcement in 2016, AirPods have become Apple’s must-have gadget. Unfortunately, during that time, Apple has never wavered from the all-white look that is kind of boring. Nevertheless, that isn’t stopping users from putting their own spin on their AirPods, and it seems Apple loves it.

Apple is highlighting multiple customized AirPods in a new Korean ad. Normally, the all-white AirPods don’t necessarily stand apart aside from being these magical little earbuds. But with a certain level of customization, they can become something else entirely.

Among the notable AirPods highlighted in the video is a pair adorned with a dark graffiti pattern, a pair with…
