You may be surprised how much productivity you can get out of an iOS device with some of the apps found in the App Store. Whether you’re working on documents, presentations, or even design projects, one of the things you’ll want to do is install your favorite fonts. You may think you can only do this on a desktop or a laptop, but actually, you can also install fonts on your iPad or iPhone. We’ll show you how to do this by using an app called iFont.
iFont allows you to install fonts in TrueTypeFont (.ttf), OpenTypeFont (.otf), TrueType Collection (.ttc), and .zip format on your iPhone or iPad. Fonts can be used in office apps like Microsoft Office or iWork and even design apps. iFont is free at the Apple App Store, offers optional purchases, and is straightforward to use.
You can use iFont to instate fonts into your iPad or iPhone by following the steps outlined below. We will import and install a font from a .zip file.
Step 1: Open the app and tap the Import button from the Installer tab.
Step 2: After the Google Drive menu opens, select the font file (for this example, 1Password screenshot.zip). Note that you can hit the Browse button to select files from iCloud, Google Drive, and your phone.
Step 3: Return to the Installer tab and tap the Select button next to your file. Any fonts will be captured from the document (Cameron Sans MS Medium, in this case), allowing you to install, share, delete, compare, export the font, and much more. Press Install to confirm your choice.
Step 4: Tap Allow on the next screen to download the font’s configuration profile.
Step 5: Open your iPhone or iPad Settings menu and tap Profile Downloaded > Install, then input your device passcode and tap Done in the upper right. Note that the font profile will not have access to any personal data on your device.
Step 6: Tap Install once more in the top right and then again at the bottom of your screen. Once the process is concluded, you will be able to use your new font in any compatible apps and access it under Settings > General > Profile.
The fonts you have just installed will not appear if you are using PowerPoint, so you’ll stop what you’re working on and exit the app to finalize the installation.
If you don’t have Microsoft Office, you can still use iFont to deliver fonts in the form of images via text that you can open with Notepad. So there you have it. A handy app that takes productivity on iOS to the next level.
Affinity’s new all-in-one creative app is finally coming to the iPad, nearly a year after Canva launched the redesigned desktop version for Mac and Windows. Creatives have been asking for the iPad release ever since, especially because files created in the new Affinity app cannot be opened in the older V2 iPad apps.
Affinity already has Photo, Designer, and Publisher apps on iPad, but the new release combines those tools into the same unified app that Canva launched on desktop last year.
Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.
The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).
Apple has just launched its latest iPad mini with a notable set of upgrades, including an OLED screen, improved speakers, and a more resilient build. It also gets a new chip, and the whole package costs $200 more than its predecessor. But if you look closely at Apple’s online store, you’ll realize that $699 isn’t enough to get you the most powerful version of the A20 Pro chip inside this tablet. In fact, even if you pay $800 for the 256GB model, you still won’t get the beefiest variant. Only when you jump to the 512GB trim, which costs an absurd $999, do you get the most powerful flavor of the A20 Pro.
The $999 model gets more than extra storage
