What is in every Chronicles issue
- The Briefing. The one Apple story that matters this week, and what Apple is actually weighing behind it.
- The Number. One figure that reframes the week, with what it really means.
- Quick Hits. The other stories worth knowing, each with why it matters to you.
- One Thing Worth Watching. The slow story that has not hit the headlines yet.
Plus: Should I Update?
A short email within hours of every public iOS, iPadOS and macOS release. What changed, any known issues, and a straight answer on whether to install it now. It only arrives when Apple ships, and you can turn it off anytime without touching the weekly issue.
Questions
How often will I hear from you?
The Cupertino Chronicles arrives once a week, on Thursday. Should I Update? only arrives when Apple ships a public iOS, iPadOS or macOS release. No daily emails.
Does it cost anything?
No. Both emails are free. A free account also unlocks the Apple Firmware Tracker and lets you comment on any article.
Can I get just one of them?
Yes. Pick either one when you sign up, or change it anytime from your account. Turning one off never touches the other.
What happens to my email address?
We use it only to send you the emails you chose. Every email has a one click unsubscribe link, and our privacy policy covers the rest.
Where can I read past issues?
Every Cupertino Chronicles issue lives on the site. Browse them all in the newsletter archive.
