Hey folks – welcome to September, the most exciting month of the year for Apple fans. We’ve held this issue of Swipe a few days to land right after Apple’s big event, so you can get the lowdown before pre-orders go live on Friday. Head to the News section for our takes on iPhone 17, iPhone Air, and iPhone 17 Pro.
It’s not all news, though. We’re going big on security this issue, with two features focused on keeping your digital life safe. You’ll find a roundup of the best authenticator apps – essential these days – plus a full Toolkit packed with tips, apps, and devices to help lock down your iPhone and protect your online presence.
Elsewhere, we dig into the latest app from productivity powerhouse Notion, make the case for adding Longplay to your Home Screen, and continue our exploration of iOS 26’s new features ahead of its imminent launch.
