Apple lets a Dual-Port 35W USB-C Charger out of the Bag

According to 9to5Mac, there is firm evidence that Apple is about to replace it with something much, much better — a 35W charger with two ports, likely powered by gallium nitride (GaN) technology that might also make it smaller. The information is assumed to be reliable because 9to5Mac sourced the intel from Apple’s own website. Apparently, the company accidentally threw a support document live for an “Apple 35W Dual USB-C Port Power Adapter,” […]

Heads Up Students and Teachers: Apple is no longer Requiring Verification for Education Discounts – at least for now

At some point in the last month, Apple introduced a new verification process in the U.S. that tried to ensure customers who want to benefit from its discounted education pricing are actually involved in education. But now, Apple has removed the verification process, as confirmed in tests by The Verge, and backed up by reports from MacRumors and 9to5Mac.

As 9to5Mac points out, developers testing a beta version of the next macOS Monterey update, 12.2, have spotted an updated […]
