CloudMagic, the company behind the popular Newton Mail app, released a new calendar app called Newton Calendar. The app is the first stand-alone calendar app for CloudMagic and is now available on the App Store. Newton Calendar provides users with a minimalist calendar experience with a user interface that closely resembles Newton Mail.

Newton Calendar is CloudMagic’s first attempt to bring a calendar app to iOS. The company previously added calendar functionality to its Newton Mail app on Android in 2015. While the functionality is still available for people using the Android app, multitasking between the email and calendar functions are unwieldy.  CloudMagic created Newton Calendar for iOS to work as a standalone app, enabling users to easily multitask between it and Newton Mail.

At first glance Newton Calendar looks fairly basic, however the app has a number of powerful calendar features. You can send meeting invitations, set recurring appointments, and attach notes to an individual event. The calendar also offers navigation assistance through Apple Maps for pinned appointment locations. Newton Calendar currently works with Google and Exchange accounts.

The interface is intuitive and easy to use, especially for Newton Mail users. While Newton Calendar looks promising, it lacks some features currently available on the Newton Mail app on Android. CloudMagic said it intends to bring many of these functions to Newton Calendar in future app updates.

Although Newton Calendar is a free download, you must have a Newton Mail account to sign in, and at $50 a year, Newton Mail is one of the more expensive email apps available. Since Newton Calendar is currently limited to iOS devices, it may be a hard sell for people who want the same cross-platform experience available on Newton Mail.

Newton Calendar app is currently available in the App Store and works on both iPhones and iPads. If you have never used Newton Mail, you will need to install it first and sign up for an account. CloudMagic plans to release a stand-alone calendar app for Android devices in the future and has hinted at a Mac app as well.

iPhone SE 4: news, rumored price, release date, and more
The Apple iPhone SE (2022) and Apple iPhone SE (2020) together.

While the spotlight always seems to be on Apple’s mainline iPhones, the iPhone SE is a great pick for those who are on a budget. If you want an iPhone that doesn't break the bank, the SE is the way to go.

The original iPhone SE came out in 2016, and then Apple revamped it in 2020 and 2022 by giving it some more modern hardware. The iPhone SE tends to get updated every two or so years rather than annually like the traditional iPhone. This means  that we should see a new iPhone SE 4 this year, but it’s not so cut-and-dried with this particular model.

A person holding the Anker MagGo Power Bank.

Power banks are a necessary evil, and even if you don’t consider yourself a “power user” who's likely to drain a phone’s battery in less than a day, there will be times when one comes in handy. And when I am forced to carry one, I want it to be as helpful and versatile as possible.

I’ve been trying Anker’s MagGo Power Bank 10K -- meaning it has a 10,000mAh cell inside it -- and there are three reasons why I'm OK with it taking up valuable space in my bag.

Here’s how Apple could change your iPhone forever

Over the past few months, Apple has released a steady stream of research papers detailing its work with generative AI. So far, Apple has been tight-lipped about what exactly is cooking in its research labs, while rumors circulate that Apple is in talks with Google to license its Gemini AI for iPhones.

But there have been a couple of teasers of what we can expect. In February, an Apple research paper detailed an open-source model called MLLM-Guided Image Editing (MGIE) that is capable of media editing using natural language instructions from users. Now, another research paper on Ferret UI has sent the AI community into a frenzy.
