Hey there, readers. That rather alarming cover art isn’t just for show – there’s a new Apple-related scam doing the rounds. It follows a classic phishing formula, but it’s a particularly convincing one, so we’re taking the chance to explain how it works and share some practical advice on avoiding similar traps.
If that’s left you feeling a little on edge, don’t worry – we’ve got the antidote. This issue’s app roundup focuses on meditation apps to help you unwind and prioritize some self-care. Since our last look at the category, many of the big names have become more subscription-hungry than ever, so we’ve shifted our attention to the very best free options. When apps are this generous, why pay more?
Over in Features, there’s plenty to chew on too – from our take on Apple’s latest discount bundle (spoiler: it’s a curious mix) to a look at why the demise of a certain alternative app store isn’t good news for anyone.
All that and more in this issue – enjoy!
