Hi all, I’m trying to connect a mouse with a standard USB-A plug, which is of course missing from the M1 laptop. I’d like to avoid using extra converters if possible, so I thought the screen’s USB socket will just work fine, except that they don’t. Do you know, is it possible somehow to use these as intended?

I only got a 14 pro max because the old phone had something wrong with it and when I first saw the Dynamic island I was like eh that’s neat but so what.

Hello, I am currently on the iOS 17 beta and I don’t seem to have the “Personal Voice” option in the Accessibility settings on my iPhone 11. Any idea what may be the issue?

Hi all - the last Apple product I purchased was the gen2 iPod. I have a decade old iPad that I inherited from work and never really used - right now it’s an always-on authenticator app screen at my desk.

For the first time in my life, I’m in the market for a personal MBP. I had to get my ancient MBP for work replaced last week and they sent me one of the new 14" M2 Pro models and I absolutely love it. As I spent more time with it, I decided I think I want a piece of the new MBP line....

Hello, I’ve got an used iPhone as a secondary device to test apple ecosystem and try it out (as this is my first apple device). And I want to import all my passwords from Microsoft Edge/Authenticator to use the native manager of the device with iCloud.

When adding a new task in iOS there’s a toolbar at the bottom with icons to include date, location, flag, or an image. Is there a way to add a priority tag without having to tap the Details icon to go into a separate menu? I like prioritizing my reminders but I hate having to take that extra step.
