Hey readers! I’ve been diving into the world of small-time app makers, reaching out to indie devs to find some diamonds in the rough that deserve coverage. That’s inspired our cover story this month – the first in a new series I’m calling the Indie Apps Showcase, where I dig through solo efforts to find the ones worth your time..
Elsewhere, another theme runs through this issue: money. Apple recently hiked the prices of its entire iPad and Mac range, and other devices are probably next. We’ve covered the news, but we’ve also dug into the wider implications in the Features section, plus some advice on landing a tech bargain now the AI boom has sent prices – not just Apple’s – rocketing.
We’ve also got a big apps roundup for hosting a fantastic BBQ this summer, plus in-depth previews of some of the most interesting parts of iOS 27. All that and more in another bumper monthly issue – happy reading!
