Apple travel tech: What you need to pack on your next trip

One of the things I enjoy doing most with my family is traveling. Annually, we go on two or three domestic trips (at least one of them to Hawaii to visit relatives). We try to go on a big international trip every 18 months or so—I went to South Africa in 2024, and I just got back from a trip to Iceland in August to see the eclipse. And I always take a lot of gear with me.

Every great trip requires planning, whether it’s an overnight stay an hour away from home or a grand vacation in a country I’ve never visited before. Besides all the travel logistics (that my wife handles), there’s the tech you need to bring, which is my responsibility in my household.
