Change Clock Style on Your iPad Lock Screen

by Tim Hardwick

If you're new to iPad, Apple recently opened up the Lock Screen to a wealth of personalization options not seen before. iPad users can change not only the wallpaper but also the clock font and color, and with the addition of widgets, users can customize the look and control the information density on the screen.

As a result of all the new personalization features, Apple has overhauled the Lock Screen editing interface, which now has many similarities to the watch face gallery on Apple Watch. The following steps show you how you can change the font and color of the digital clock on your own Lock Screen.

  1. Unlock your ‌‌iPad with Face ID or Touch ID, then press and hold your finger on the Lock Screen until the wallpaper gallery appears.
  2. Swipe to the Lock Screen that you want to adjust and then tap Customize.

  3. Select the Lock Screen option.
  4. Tap within the frame containing the digital clock readout.
  5. Use the menu of options for changing the font style and the color of the clock readout. You can also use the slider to adjust the hue of the selected color.
  6. When you're happy with the look of the clock, tap Done in the top-right corner of the screen, then tap the Lock Screen in the wallpaper gallery to activate it.

Note that you can customize the current Lock Screen at any time by invoking the gallery view from the Lock Screen with a long press, or by going into Settings -> Wallpapers.

Apple Music Has a Hidden iPod You Can Play With

Apple Music has a 404 page easter egg on the web: a functional iPod that appears when you load a page that does not exist, such as music.apple.com/macrumors. "Page Not Found," says Apple. "Give this a spin instead." Apple is clever with this. If you navigate to music.apple.com/ipod instead, the page says "Looking for something?" instead of "Page Not Found." The easter egg is only...

iPhone Duo Fails JerryRigEverything's Dusty Durability Test

Saturday October 24, 2026 11:27 am PDT by Tim Hardwick
Apple's iPhone Duo has failed JerryRigEverything's latest durability test. Despite its IP68 dust-resistance rating, dust entered the hinge through several ingress points, overwhelming the magnets that hold the phone shut. The bend test then left a permanent green line across the inner display, before the screen became unresponsive. The outer screen with Ceramic Shield 2 scratched at level 7...
