The Yale Assure Lock 2 is one of the many smart locks that work with Airbnb. | Photo by Jennifer Pattison Tuohy / The Verge Airbnb is expanding its smart lock integration, allowing the company to generate door codes from Yale and August directly within its app. This means more guests can easily find the code they’ll need to unlock their vacation rental, while hosts won’t have to worry about generating and sending new codes to every visitor. The smart lock company Schlage became the first to adopt the integration after Airbnb announced it last year. Once a host connects their compatible smart locks to Airbnb, the app will automatically generate unique door codes that it will send to guests ahead of their visit. The codes will only remain active during a guest’s stay, as Airbnb will automatically deactivate them when they check out. Airbnb will also notify... Continue reading…

A new firmware update brings audio sharing to the Beats Studio Pro. | Photo by Chris Welch / The Verge Apple has released a firmware update for the Beats Studio Pro that finally brings audio sharing to the headphones, allowing an iPhone or iPad to stream audio to two pairs of wireless headphones simultaneously. The new feature, spotted by 9to5Mac, was noticeably missing when we reviewed the Beats Studio Pro last year, but now better positions the headphones as an alternative to Apple’s more expensive AirPods Max. Audio sharing was added to the Beats line shortly after its debut in 2019. It’s a feature found in all of Apple’s headphones featuring the company’s W1 or H1 chips, but the Beats Studio Pro debuted with a different chip that ensured all of the headphone’s features were compatible with both Apple and Android devices.

It's been five years since Apple announced it was expanding its hardware and software business to include services. While iCloud has been one of the first subscriptions modern Apple users have taken advantage of, it's far from being the only service the company offers. Currently, users can access Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, Apple News+, Apple Fitness+, and even Apple Card. In addition, iCloud is more than just a storage service; it offers even more enticing features, such as Private Relay, Hide my Email and Custom Email. However, iCloud is almost mandatory for a better experience with the iPhone, iPad, and Mac, so it's only natural that it remains Apple's most popular service. After all, if you don't subscribe to it, you'll have to locally backup your devices, you won't get a synced photo library easily, and so on. In its latest report, CIRP highlighted the most important services offered by Apple, and the results are what you might expect: 64% of Apple buyers pay for iCloud 42% of Apple buyers subscribe to Apple Music 37% of Apple buyers use Apple Podcasts 35% of Apple buyers add AppleCare to iPad 32% of Apple buyers use Apple TV+ Image source: CIRP This data reveals that Apple users are using Apple services more often. However, some are overpaying their subscriptions. Here's why. With an Apple One subscription, users can access at least Apple Music, 50GB of iCloud, Apple TV+, and Apple Arcade for $19.95/mo. However, since the iCloud, Apple Music, and Apple TV+ numbers are different, this shows that not only people aren't using Apple One, but they also prefer to pay for these services standalone. One reason is that some Spotify users are die-hard fans, so they won't make the switch to Apple Music. But if you subscribe to Apple Music and Apple TV+, it instantly becomes more beneficial to use Apple One instead of paying for these services separately. In addition, if 50GB isn't enough for you, the second tier of Apple One offers 200GB of storage, but you can share all the subscriptions with up to five other family members, making the value of this service even better. That said, if you want the best iCloud experience, you should get an Apple One subscription and take advantage of more services for less. Below, you can learn more about it.
