Apple brings Journal App to more devices with iPadOS 26 and macOS Tahoe
Apple's native Journal app, first introduced in 2023 with iOS 17.2, is set to make its way to the iPad and Mac later this year, the company confirmed during its WWDC 2025 keynote. The expansion comes alongside the launch of iPadOS 26 and macOS Tahoe 26, which will bring a host of new features to Apple's ecosystem.
The journaling app, designed to help users document their thoughts and daily experiences, will now take full advantage of the hardware and interface capabilities of the iPad and Mac. Until now, the app has been limited to the iPhone, but the move to bring it to more devices is seen as a natural progression.
On the iPad, Journal will gain support for the Apple Pencil, allowing users to include handwritten notes, sketches, and drawings within their entries. Additionally, users will be able to insert photos, audio clips, and other media to enrich their daily logs. The larger screen real estate and multitasking capabilities of the iPad are expected to enhance the journaling experience significantly.
Mac users, meanwhile, will benefit from the familiarity and efficiency of a physical keyboard, offering a more seamless way to type entries compared to the iPhone's on-screen keyboard. Apple also highlighted that the app will support multiple journals for different themes or life events, all of which will be synchronised across Apple devices via iCloud.
Journal entries will be end-to-end encrypted and securely stored on iCloud, ensuring privacy and peace of mind. To safeguard content further, entries can be locked using Touch ID or Face ID, depending on the device in use.
The app also introduces features aimed at helping users revisit their memories, such as a location-based map view of entries, the ability to bookmark moments, and advanced filters to search through past logs using criteria like photos, locations, and fitness activities.
Powered by on-device machine learning, Journal provides intelligent prompts tailored to each user's recent activity — including places visited, music played, and photos taken — to encourage meaningful and consistent journaling habits.
The updated Journal app will become available on iPad and Mac with the rollout of iPadOS 26 and macOS Tahoe 26, both scheduled for public release later this year. With its arrival across Apple's wider product range, the app is expected to become a more central part of users' digital lives, encouraging reflection and creativity on a broader scale.

Samsung drops big Exynos 2500 news ahead of Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 launch
The Galaxy Unpacked event is fast approaching, and unless you've been living under a rock, you probably already have an idea of what Samsung is planning to launch at its big mid-year event. The spotlight is, of course, on the Galaxy Z series foldables, and if the leaks are anything to go by, they're set to get one of the biggest design upgrades we've seen so far. But there's something else that's got people talking — and it's to do with the Galaxy Z Flip 7. If recent reports are accurate, the phone could be powered by Samsung's own Exynos 2500 chip. And if that's true, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 might just come with a pretty big feature — emergency satellite per a press release by Skylo, the Exynos 2500 chip — which is expected to power the Galaxy Z Flip 7 — will support emergency satellite connectivity when you're out of mobile network range. The feature works through the Exynos 5400 5G modem inside the chipset, which supports NB-IoT NTN connectivity using low-earth orbit satellites. A few other phones already offer this feature, including Apple's iPhone 14, 15 and 16 series, and the Google Pixel 9 phones. Interestingly, the Pixel 9 series (excluding the Pixel 9a) also uses Skylo's satellite tech and the same Exynos 5400 5G modem, but built into Google's Tensor G4 back to the Unpacked event, Samsung is expected to launch a range of foldable phones and wearables. Alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, we could also see the launch of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE — the first Fan Edition foldable — and maybe even a new device called the Galaxy G Fold. If the leaks are accurate, this might be Samsung's most ambitious foldable yet, with a triple-fold design that could open up into a larger display. We haven't seen much confirmed information about this phone just yet, but its appearance at Unpacked would definitely be a big As for what to expect from the main foldables, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is rumoured to get a much slimmer and lighter design, while the Galaxy Z Flip 7 might come with a bigger screen and the new Exynos 2500 chip. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE could be Samsung's way of making foldables a bit more affordable, without removing too many key is also expected to launch the Galaxy Watch 8 series, which includes the standard Watch 8, the Watch 8 Classic, and the Watch Ultra 2. One of the biggest design changes here could be the new squircle shape — a square chassis and a round dial — which is expected across the entire range. The watches will likely run One UI 8 Watch, based on Wear OS 6.

When Steve Jobs gifted brand new Jaguar to secretary after he got late to office; said ...
Apple founder Steve Jobs, known for his intense leadership style at Apple, once surprised a late-arriving secretary with a brand-new Jaguar. Ron Givens, Apple's director of quality from 1981 to 1986, shared the story in a 2011 interview with WRAL. During the interview, Givens recalled a day when a secretary showed up late for work. Jobs, he said, walked over and asked her why she was late. She explained her car had broken down. 'That afternoon, he walks into her office, tosses a set of keys to a brand-new Jaguar and says, 'Here, don't be late anymore,'' Givens said. At the time, a Jaguar XJ cost about $35,000—roughly $123,000 today (adjusted for inflation). The moment captures what Givens called the 'paradox' of Jobs. He described him as a boss who could both intimidate and inspire. 'He could motivate you out of your socks,' said Givens. Jobs, then just 26, was known for constantly walking the halls, questioning engineers about minute design details one moment and delivering surprise gifts the next. Givens, who was about 20 years older than Jobs, said many of the young CEO's ideas seemed 'stupid' at first—until their brilliance became clear. He also recalled being handed a $1,000 Steuben-glass apple from Jobs, with no explanation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Apple needs 'only A players': Steve Jobs Jobs pushed hard for excellence, famously saying Apple needed "only A players." He admitted firing weaker employees was 'very painful,' but necessary. Pixar's Pete Docter later said Jobs was known for 3 am phone calls—something he never wanted to repeat. According to a recent CNBC report, Docter told Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies Gala that Jobs would phone colleagues 'at any time, day or night, three in the morning … you're on vacation, doesn't matter'. He further stated that Jobs' after-hours calls were non-negotiable and that the intensity often ignored personal boundaries. 'He wants to talk to you about it, you're on,' Docter further added. As per the report, Docter admitted he sometimes sends late-night emails himself but added, 'That's what my wife's trying to get me to stop doing.'
