Slowly but surely, Apple is removing all traces of the Lightning ports from its devices thanks to a European Union law that comes into force next year.  But if you’re a Mac user who swears by first-party accessories, you’ll know that USB-C hasn’t yet reached Apple’s line of ‘Magic’ devices yet: the Magic Mouse, Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad all still use Lightning connectors. This was previously tipped to change at the company’s ‘Scary Fast’ M3 Mac event back in October, but didn’t — perhaps because Apple has stock it…

Despite coveting several of today’s best record players, I confess that prior to the arrival of the Victrola Hi-Res Carbon turntable, I have not listened to any of the 500 or so records I own for at least five years. My collection of vinyl occupies several basement bookshelves and has been slowly gathering dust.
