desk to be more posture-

Paul has been fantasising
about one of the new iMacs
landing on his desk... It’s a
good job he’s got our Mac
speed-up feature to fall
back on when reality hits.Meet the team

We’ve been busy testing the new
iMacs, iPad Air, iPad mini and AirPods
in recent weeks. Read our verdicts on
Apple’s latest kit, along with reviews
of other new add-ons and apps,
starting on p77.
While it’s nice to see new Apple
hardware, it’s also good to keep your
current Mac in peak condition – so this
issue’s cover feature looks at steps to
speed up your Mac. After using your
Mac for a while, it may seem slower than it was fresh out of
its box. We’ll show you ways to investigate recurring issues;
relevant tweaks to your preferences; and hardware changes
that can get your Mac life back on track. Head to p20.
Even four years after Apple Watch’s launch, only half of
MacFormat’s editorial team has a smartwatch of any kind –
both Apple Watches, of course. However, since April 2015,
more and more people have come around to the benefits of
owning one. Worried it would just be an annoyance strapped
to your body? Give it a chance: turn to p62 and we’ll show you
how it can be a helpful assistant you’ll want to wear.
Don’t forget to check out our latest tutorials, which begin
on p37. You’ll discover nifty new features and improvements
Apple has added in macOS 10.14.4 and iOS 12.2; how to turn
your best snaps into a photo book; steps to follow before you
sell your old Mac; and much more.Turn to page 34SUBSCRIBE
