Chrome now features vertical tabs, immersive reading mode
Google announced on Tuesday two new features for its Chrome browser. Both features were designed to help users be more productive while using the browser.
The first new feature is the ability to display tabs vertically in the browser, along the side of the window. The default is to display tabs along the top, but to switch to vertical view, right-click on the Chrome window, and you’ll find a new Show Tabs Vertically option. Select it, and the tabs move to the side and stack rather than occupy a horizontal bar above the main window.
Safari has a similar feature in the sidebar, but it d
New iPhone Fold ‘dummy’ reveals key features of upcoming flagship
Important details of the iPhone Fold, Apple’s first foldable phone, may have been confirmed by a new social media post by a widely respected leaker. In a post on X, Sonny Dickson posted two photos of what he describes as “exclusive first dummies” of the iPhone Fold, iPhone 18 Pro, and iPhone 18 Pro Max.
Dummies are non-functional prototypes of unreleased products, designed to showcase possible form factors and help the makers to decide what shape and size makes most sense. Dummies can be made in a variety of forms before such decisions
Best USB-C hubs and adapters for Mac 2026
USB-C and its Thunderbolt variant are the most up-to-date standards of the USB connector. They allow data-transfer speeds of up to 80Gbps, can fast-charge devices up to 240W, and conveniently fit in a port either way up—which means that you can wave bye-bye to the age-old USB guessing game of “Which way does it go in?”.
USB-C is no one-trick pony—handling data transfer, video output and power input. You’ll find faster variants of USB-C (called Thunderbolt 3, 4 or 5) on Macs. Each version of Thunderbolt is backwards compatible with USB-C so the adapters reviewed here wil

Apple has an AI problem that has nothing to do with Siri
It’s been about 15 minutes so, yes, it is time once again to check in on AI, the big baby of technology that can’t be left alone for five minutes without shoving a drawer full of socks in its mouth and blocking its airway, making it cry and flail its arms until someone comes to help it.
Apple has become the target of not one but two AI-related lawsuits. Well, two new ones, anyway. It’s probably involved in others; the Macalope didn’t check. He’s not some kind of law-type person. There’s probably a name for those types of people, but if there is, the horny one is not familiar with it.

Here’s proof that an Apple Watch knockoff is a terrible deal
In case you were looking to save some money on a smartwatch that looks just like an Apple Watch, here’s a reason to be very careful about what you spend your money on. Because while the outside might be similar, you’re definitely not getting the same experience.
Lumafield’s First Article blog has an interesting article about the differences between knock-off products and their real counterparts. They used an industrial CT scanner to see inside each product and point out the differences in construction, components, and features. And one set

New Macs? Apple TV? Here’s what’s coming from Apple in April
The biggest Apple event in April is definitely the company’s 50th anniversary. We have a lot of features related to the event, which was officially on Wednesday, April 1.
Other than the possibility of some M5 Mac refreshes and maybe an overdue Apple TV update, there’s not much else expected in April. The OS 26.5 updates will continue their beta tests, with a small chance of going into wide release late in the month. But we no longer expect any sort of Siri overhaul until the OS 27 releases later this year, leaving precious little in the OS 2
