If you’re the type of person who uses tons of open tabs in a web browser, you’ll undoubtedly have experienced a situation where you’d like to bookmark all of the tabs you have open so that you can easily return back to your browsing session. Fortunately, the Google Chrome browser makes bookmarking all tabs in a browser window pretty simple, and the trick works the same for Chrome on Mac, Windows, iPad, iPhone, Android, Linux, and Chrome OS too.
Ready to tackle your Chrome tabs and bookmark them all at once? Here’s how to do that quickly and easily in the Google Chrome browser.
Amazon is offering a fantastic deal on the base model 13″ M5 MacBook Air for just $899, taking $200 off the retail price. This puts the already stellar M5 MacBook Air 13″ into nearly competing with the higher-end MacBook Neo 13″ (available for $689) on price, but with the Air you get a far more powerful processor, dual external monitor support, and twice the RAM… pretty sweet deal!
M5 MacBook Air 13″ from $899
You can save up to $200 off the 13″ MacBook Air base model, and $150 off the upgraded models:

Apple has released the first beta versions of iOS 26.6, MacOS Tahoe 26.6, and iPadOS 26.6. These new betas are available for users in the beta testing program to access now on any eligible enrolled device. No major new features or changes are expected.
With WWDC 2026 just around the corner, it’s likely that Apple is putting most of their operating system development efforts into iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and MacOS 27, and thus the 26.6 versions are likely to be focused on bug fixes and security patches.
Unrelated and outside of the Amazon deal, if you don’t mind opening an Apple credit card and jumping through a bunch of hoops to get a reimbursement over the course of a year, you can get a set of free AirPods Pro 3 but there are plenty of conditions to achieve that, and that deal is not applicable to existing Apple Card holders.
M5 MacBook Air 15″ from $1099
Amazon is continuing to offer a whopping $200 off the base model 15″ MacBook Air, which is a very capable machine especially at this price point, and you can get upgraded models for $150 off too.

Instagram has introduced a new feature called “Instants” which seems to be inspired by Snapchat in that it allows for instant expiring pictures to be sent to people. Like any new feature, some people are going to like it, and some people are going to not like it, and if you happen to find the Instants feature to be annoying, particularly how it overlaps and hangs over your Instagram messages inbox.
If you’re a retro Macintosh computer fan you might like this fun wallpaper pack for iPhone, which makes your iPhone lock screen and home screen look a lot like a good old Macintosh from 1984.
The creator of these retro iPhone wallpapers, ogerx, says they are inpsired by the legacy of Macintosh, but with a bit of modern elegance. There are four different color options, and two wallpapers (for lock screen, and for home screen), per color.
Amazon is taking $200 off the base model M5 MacBook Air 15″ with 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD in Starlight color (and sometimes you’ll find the same discount on other colors and models too), otherwise they’re continuing to offer $150 off upgraded models and other color combinations. If you’re shopping for a new MacBook Air, these are some really fantastic deals.
The iPhone Voice Messages feature is quite useful and fun, allowing for audio recordings to be sent to and from people in the Messages app. Voice Messaging allows people to hear your voice, and you to hear theirs, and for many people it’s easier to speak into their iPhone rather than tap out a long text message. Understanding how Voice Messages and Audio Messages works to record and send on your iPhone lets you get the most out of the feature, but over time Apple has changed where it’s located and accessed on iPhone, which may throw off some users.
Let’s go through the basics for Voice Messages on iPhone, so you can understand how the feature works, how to access it, and use audio messages to the fullest.
Amazon is back offering $150 off the new M5 MacBook Air 15″, a fantastic large screen laptop that is incredibly powerful, lightweight, and versatile. Why pay more than you have to? Check out the deals below, in all available color and configurations:
The latest iOS versions for iPhone include a custom gradient wallpaper generator, allowing you to make some nice looking wallpapers of your choice, but many users are likely to miss the feature because it’s tucked into the LGBTQ Pride wallpaper collection on the iPhone.
Want a multicolor gradient blue wallpaper? A greyscale gradient? A gradient of greens? Gradients of the entire rainbow? The new Pride wallpaper allows for complete color customization, offering an easy way to have a unique wallpaper designed just for you, with whatever colors you’d like to see.
You must have iOS 26.5 or newer on your iPhone to have this gradient wallpaper generator feature available to you. Once your iPhone is up to date, making your custom wallpaper is easy:
Apple is launching a promotion whereby they will give you $250 in cash back for signing up for a new Apple Card credit card and buying AirPods Pro 3, but there’s a bit of a catch and series of hoops you must jump through.
To get the full $250 cash back, you must buy the AirPods Pro and then make 10+ purchases a month for the next year to which will be rewarded by $25 increments, effectively making the AirPods Pro free over the year.
“For a limited time, earn back the cost of AirPods Pro 3, up to $250 total Bonus Daily Cash. Get a new Apple Card and buy AirPods Pro 3 at Apple by June 15. Starting July 1, each month you make 10+ purchases you’ll earn $25 Bonus Daily Cash, through April 30, 2027.*”
There’s a lot of fine print, so you’ll want to review all of that carefully, before signing up for the Apple Card (or any credit card for that matter). Given how catastrophic high interest debt can be, this offer should really only be considered by individuals who can responsibly manage credit card usage, ideally by paying off the card balance in full every month to avoid high interest payments.
Basically this means if you do not yet have an Apple Card, and you’re responsible at managing credit and don’t mind making many purchases with the card every month for a year (which is fairly easy to accomplish if you use it as your primary card), you will be able to sign up for the Apple Card and receive a free set of AirPods Pro 3, but again, as long as you meet all the required terms and conditions of the card and promo.
Apple Card offers 1% cash back on standard purchases with the physical card, and between 2% and 3% cash back on purchases made with Apple Pay. Those who have an Apple Card can also open an Apple Savings Account which offers a reasonably high yield of 3.5%, which the cash back can be deposited directly into.
Apple rarely offers promotions, discounts, or freebies, so this is somewhat unusual.
If you’re the tech tinkerer type and you don’t mind potentially voiding your MacBook Neo warranty, you can perform a little quick modification to your Neo that can make it perform up to 20% faster under heavy workloads. This is a pretty simple mod that aims to reduce thermal throttling behavior of the CPU, and it’s achieved by adhering a thermal pad to the A18 chip that allows it to dissipate heat through the aluminum enclosure on the MacBook Neo.
About 10 minutes of your time to have the mod installed and ready to go
The upside? Performance gains by reducing CPU throttling under load, reported online at up to 20% improvements under heavy load, and 10-12+ FPS higher frame rates in games.
The downside? Your MacBook Neo bottom case is going to get a lot warmer, since the thermal pad is now dissipating heat to the aluminum chassis. Oh, and it’s likely this voids your MacBook Neo warranty, and it might reduce battery longevity as well since batteries do not like heat.
The MacBook Neo is a phenomenal laptop for most users but if you want to push it a bit further while keeping costs low, and you have a tinkerer mindset, the thermal mod might be something you’re interested in. Thermal throttling is completely normal behavior for every modern device and computer, but for fanless Macs like the Neo and Air, these thermal mods can boost their performance a bit further.
If you’re a Mac user of the Chrome web browser, as many are, you might be interested to know that the latest versions of Chrome default to downloading a large local Gemini AI model that can take up around 4GB of storage space.
While some users may appreciate and use the local Chrome Gemini AI model, which is used for things like autofill suggestions, scam detection, web page summaries, and writing tools, other users may find it either unnecessary because they don’t use AI, use another AI agent like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, a local model like LLama, or perhaps because they already have Apple Intelligence on their Mac to perform similar tasks.
We’ll show you how to stop the Google Chrome browser form downloading a large local AI model on your Mac (and this applies to Windows too if you have a PC using Chrome too).
The latest versions of iOS and iPadOS support a feature that allow you to easily see who and what devices are using data on Personal Hotspot. This is particularly useful if you find yourself using Personal Hotspot often, and perhaps find yourself hitting overages or getting throttled from Personal Hotspot data usage over cellular.
By checking device specific Personal Hotspot data usage on your iPhone or iPad, you can take the guesswork and mystery out of what connected device is consuming data, and, take any appropriate action based on that information.
You will need to be running iOS 26.4.1 or newer to have this feature on your iPhone, and of course you will need to have Personal Hotspot feature active on your iPhone or cellular iPad.
If your iPhone suddenly starts recording a voice message seemingly at random while you’re in the Messages app, you’re probably unintentionally triggering a feature called Raise to Listen. This feature is part of the iOS Messages app, where lifting the iPhone to your ear can automatically start to play or record an audio message. The trouble is that this feature is not well understood, and is often triggered in situations where you’re not holding the iPhone up to your ear at all, resulting in random voice and audio recordings, sometimes of personal or embarrassing situations. Some users may find the recording of voice messages to happen spontaneously when they’re exiting a text message conversation thread or tapping on the back button in Messages, others may find it activates seemingly so at random they can’t determine any consistency into why their iPhone is randomly recording them.
For some iPhone users who understand and use Raise to Listen the feature is helpful and convenient, but for others, it can be very confusing, frustrating, or invading, especially when the iPhone is unexpectedly recording audio.
We’ll explain what is happening, why the iPhone is recording audio and voice messages seemingly at random, and how to turn this feature off to fix the problem if you don’t want to accidentally record audio again when using the messages app.
The M5 MacBook Pro is available with up to a $200 discount on Amazon right now, and $150 off other models too. If you want the most powerful portable Mac there is, these are the machines for you:
Apple has released an array of new system software updates for older model iPhone and iPad hardware, alongside the iOS 26.5 update for newer devices. These updates include important security fixes, and are therefore recommended to install onto your eligible devices.
The updates arrive as iOS 18.7.9, iPadOS 17.7.11, iOS 16.7.16, and iOS 15.8.8, each with their iOS/iPadOS equivalent, and are available for various model iPhone and iPad devices that are not eligible to run iOS 26.5.
Specifically, you will find the following system software updates available, and for these particular devices:
iOS 18.7.9 and iPadOS 18.7.9 for iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, iPad 7th generation
iPadOS 17.7.11 for iPad Pro 12.9-inch 2nd generation, iPad Pro 10.5-inch, and iPad 6th generation
iOS 16.7.16 and iPadOS 16.7.16 for iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X, iPad 5th generation, iPad Pro 9.7-inch, and iPad Pro 12.9-inch 1st generation
iOS 15.8.8 and iPadOS 15.8.8 for iPhone 6s (all models), iPhone 7 (all models), iPhone SE (1st generation), iPad Air 2, iPad mini (4th generation), and iPod touch (7th generation)
Again, these updates are separate from the freshly released iOS 26.5 and iPadOS 26.5 updates which also include the same security patches, but for newer model iPhone and iPad hardware.
Apple has released MacOS Sequoia 15.7.7 and MacOS Sonoma 14.8.7 for users who are not running or interested in updating to MacOS Tahoe 26.5. The Sequoia and Sonoma updates include security patches only, and no other changes or features are along for the ride.
Curiously, the versioning is MacOS Sequoia 15.7.7, and MacOS Sonoma 14.8.7, but there was never any MacOS Sequoia 15.7.6 or MacOS Sonoma 14.8.6 update, suggesting that perhaps those were interim updates that got skipped for one reason or another. Whatever the case, if you are confused by the jump directly to .7 and skipping of .6 for Sequoia and Sonoma, you certainly aren’t alone.
