While we don't really know how many of each model Apple sells, there are companies that try to provide an estimate. Most pundits agree that MacBooks far outsell all other Macs, but do iMacs and Mac Pros really sell in equal numbers?

Thanks to the new Vision Pro SDK, we can look at the Vision Pro simulator and get an idea of what it will be like to use the 3D goggles coming from Apple next year.

Looking up a value in a table is pretty straightforward. But what if you needed to look up a specific value based on both the column and row header values?

A new feature coming in Sonoma allows you to share your screen and your camera video at the same time in two different modes. One is to put yourself in a circle at any point on the screen. Another is to put the screen in a rectangle like it is behind you. And the best part is that it works in apps like Zoom, not just in Apple's apps.

Learn how you can request backups of your iCloud data from Apple. Note: I haven't even gotten close to running the video on downloading your Photos Library using this technique that I mention at the start of this video. The WWDC announcements have pushed some of my videos to later dates.

The Copy Subject feature of macOS Ventura (also known as the Remove Background feature) is useful in a variety of ways. But did you know it works in Quick Look?

Mac Accessibility options offer some alternatives to click-and-drag. One in particular, the three-finger drag, could be useful for those who don't like how window dragging with a Magic Trackpad feels.

While it is easy to highlight text in a PDF with the Highlighting tool, what if you wanted to highlight some text in a photo or screenshot? Just marking it up with a box or arrow could work, but you can also simulate a highlight marker effect with a well-made box or line.

When you are looking at a Finder list of files, you can use your keyboard to jump to a file starting with that letter. But when you use multiple letters or have a non-alphabetical sort, it can be hard to understand why one file is chosen over another.
