Strong iPhone 12 sales fuel record $111.4 billion quarter for Apple

• As a company, Apple is firing on all cylinders. It pulled in record revenue from iPhone, Wearables and Services during its most-recent financial quarter. And there was healthy growth in Mac and iPad revenue too.

Apple Watch Series 7 could pack game-changing blood sugar sensor

• This year’s Apple Watch upgrade will reportedly add another potentially transformative medical feature: a blood sugar sensor.

iCloud for Windows Gaining Support for iCloud Passwords Chrome Extension

• Apple yesterday released a new version of iCloud for Windows 10, and based on multiple reports and the update's release notes, it appears Apple is introducing an iCloud Passwords extension designed for Chrome, which will allow iCloud Keychain passwords to be used on Windows machines.

HomePod mini music handoffs just got better

• The recently released HomePod mini got a raft of new features in a software update released Tuesday. The process of handing off songs from an iPhone to the smart speaker now comes with some visual, audio and haptic effects.
