Apfelpatient is an independent, German-language publication dedicated to the Apple ecosystem. We cover the latest Apple news, software updates, Apple Intelligence, product announcements, developer releases, and hands-on accessory reviews - and produce clear, practical guides to help Apple users stay informed.
Who We Are
Since it launched, Apfelpatient has focused on timely, accurate, and easy-to-understand coverage of Apple's products, services, and technologies. Our content is written for readers who want reliable information about iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, AirPods, and Apple Vision Pro, as well as iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, visionOS, tvOS, and the wider Apple ecosystem.
With an extensive and continually growing archive, Apfelpatient is one of the largest German-language resources covering Apple. Founded in 2016, we have followed the Apple ecosystem's development ever since — from major product launches to the details of Apple's yearly software updates.

Our Editorial Team
Apfelpatient's content comes from Milan, an Apple enthusiast who covers news, rumors, tips, and product reviews across the entire site. His author profile describes him as a dedicated Apple fan who reports on everything from the latest news and rumors to practical tips and detailed product reviews – with an extensive, publicly accessible archive on his author page and on LinkedIn.
Our Mission
Our mission is to make Apple news and technology easier to understand through trustworthy reporting, practical guides, honest reviews, and clear explanations that help readers get more from their Apple devices. We believe technology journalism should be accurate, transparent, and accessible to everyone - from everyday Apple users to developers, professionals, and technology enthusiasts.
Our Commitment
We publish carefully researched Apple news and clearly distinguish confirmed announcements from industry reports and developing rumors. We update articles as new information becomes available, and we base our guides and tutorials on official sources and our own testing wherever possible.
We test accessories and products over an extended period rather than judging after a first impression, and we do not accept paid reviews. How we research, verify, update, and publish is explained on our Editorial Standards & Transparency page.
Funding and Independence
Apfelpatient is funded through display advertising and affiliate links (including Amazon Associates). If someone buys via such a link, we receive a commission – the price stays the same. For reviews, manufacturers or vendors sometimes provide products free of charge; individual reviews are also produced as paid cooperations. We label such posts transparently within the respective article. Our verdict remains independent – the assessment reflects our own judgment and is not part of the agreement.
