If you've ever wanted a native way to control how your AirPods sound across every device and app, Apple has finally provided it in iOS 27. Here's where to find the setting and what it can do.AirPods have a built-in EQ in SettingsApple's 2026 WWDC keynote was packed with tiny features and improvements. One of the long-awaited crowd pleasers was bringing an equalizer to AirPods settings.Owners of the AirPods Max 2, AirPods Pro 3, or AirPods 4 can now choose the level of playback for lows, mids, and highs manually. It's not the most complex equalizer I've seen, but it is certainly better than nothing.

Apple updated its App Store Review Guidelines this week, adding stricter language around low-quality apps. The 4.3 Spam rule already barred overly simple apps in saturated categories, but Apple now includes language saying low-effort apps could be pulled from the App Store. Apps in oversaturated categories that are not updated, improved, or do not attract customers may be removed, according to Apple. App Guideline 4.3(b) New Language: Don't submit apps that are indistinguishable from what's already widely available. Opportunistically creating variants of existing app categories or popular apps degrades App Store discovery, reduces overall app quality, and harms both users and developers. Certain kinds of apps, such as dating, flashlight, sound effects, wallpaper, simple timers, and fortune telling, are well established on the App Store and we will not accept new submissions unless they offer a meaningfully different or improved experience. We may remove these apps from the App Store going forward if they are not updated, improved, or do not attract customers. Other kinds of apps, such as drinking games, Kama Sutra, fart, and burp apps, are mediocre, low-quality, or low-effort and do not add value to the App Store. Repeated submissions of this kind may lead to removal from the Apple Developer Program. App Guideline 4.3(b) Old Language: Also avoid piling on to a category that is already saturated; the App Store has enough fart, burp, flashlight, fortune telling, dating, drinking games, and Kama Sutra apps, etc. already. We will reject these apps unless they provide a unique, high-quality experience. Spamming the store may lead to your removal from the Apple Developer Program. Apple says it won't approve dating, flashlight, sound effect, wallpaper, simple timer, and fortune telling apps unless they are meaningfully different from existing apps. Apple says fart, burp, Kama Sutra, and drinking game apps are "mediocre, low-quality, or low-effort" and add no value to the App Store. Repeated app submissions of this type could lead to removal from the Developer Program. Wording on spam apps is clearer than before, and it sounds like Apple will approve fewer apps in saturated categories and may even clean up some clutter apps that get no interest. Apple also added new detail to its 1.2 rule on apps with user-generated content, which is a guideline that has seen Apple threaten to remove apps like Grok from the App Store. Apple now makes it clear that app developers are responsible for removing content that violates App Store guidelines, such as pornographic content. It is your responsibility to remove content that violates this guideline, your terms of service, or your community standards. If we find such content, we will ask you to remove it, and provide a plan to improve your compliance with this guideline. Based on your response, your app may be removed from the App Store until you can demonstrate improvements that bring your app into compliance. Egregious or repeated behavior is grounds for immediate removal of your app from the App Store, and from the Apple Developer Program. Apps that do not have a compliance plan for addressing content violations could be removed from the App Store. Apple's final guideline change (4.5.3) bars app developers from using Live Activities to spam, phish, or send unsolicited messages to customers. The full App Store Review Guidelines are available on Apple's website.Tags: App Store, App Store Review GuidelinesThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums1 hour agoWWDC26: Watch Apple’s short recap of this year’s Platforms State of the Union

Anthropic today announced the launch of Claude Fable 5, a Mythos-class model that it says is safe for general use. According to Anthropic, Fable 5's capabilities exceed those of any model it has made generally available, and Fable has demonstrated "exceptional performance" for software engineering, knowledge work, vision, scientific research, and more. It outperforms Opus models on longer, more complex tasks. Fable 5 can work autonomously for longer than any prior Claude model. Fable 5 is being released with conservative safeguards to prevent it from being misused in areas like cybersecurity. Questions about some topics will instead be answered by Opus 4.8, with safeguards expected to trigger in less than five percent of sessions on average. Most queries related to cybersecurity, chemistry, and biology will get responses from Opus 4.8 instead of Fable 5. Anthropic is also releasing Claude Mythos 5 for a small group of cyberdefenders and infrastructure providers. It uses the same underlying model as Fable 5, but with some of the safeguards lifted. Mythos 5 is being deployed through Project Glasswing as an upgrade to the Claude Mythos Preview. Anthropic says Mythos 5 has the strongest cybersecurity capabilities of any model in the world, with access set to expand through a broader trusted access program. Fable 5 and Mythos 5 are available at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens, which is less than half the price of the Claude Mythos Preview. Mythos 5 is available to those who have access to the Mythos Preview, and that includes Apple. Apple is one of Anthropic's Project Glasswing partners. Claude Fable 5 is included in Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise plans from today until June 22. On June 23, the model will be removed from those plans and using it will require usage credits. When Fable 5 capacity is sufficient, Anthropic plans to re-add it to subscription plans.Tag: AnthropicThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums10:07 pmA Record-Breaking Patch Tuesday for June 2026

When Liquid Glass launched in macOS Tahoe, Apple faced criticism over how the design looked on the Mac. Some people felt that Liquid Glass in macOS Tahoe was an afterthought with little impact from the design update, while others had issues with contrast, readability, rounded corners, and design consistency. There were long complaint threads on the MacRumors forums and on Reddit, and some people refused to update. Apple is making several changes to Liquid Glass and the overall macOS Golden Gate design, and while subtle, some of the changes could make Liquid Glass on Mac easier to digest. Transparency and Diffusion Apple added a full Liquid Glass slider under System Settings > Appearance. It changes the translucency of Liquid Glass elements, and users can choose a clear version of Liquid Glass that allows some of the background to show through, select a more opaque, tinted version that improves the legibility of text, or choose something in between. Unfortunately, there is no ultra-clear version of Liquid Glass available with the slider. Even the setting that's as clear as possible does not match the original version of Liquid Glass that Apple showed off at WWDC 2025. Apple changed the overall Liquid Glass opacity, and it now diffuses complex content more effectively. Apple says a darkened edge and brighter specular highlights establish more depth and separation for the UI. Toolbars and Window Shapes Apps have uniform toolbars to make text headings and groups of controls more legible. Windows also all have the same corner radius for more consistency between apps. macOS Tahoe Corners of apps are not as dramatically rounded in macOS Golden Gate, and the difference is noticeable. macOS Golden Gate It's easier to tell when a window is active because of the sidebar design, the opacity update, and changes to window shadows. Sidebars Sidebars are no longer floating and are instead edge-to-edge. It's a design that's less distracting and more uniform because there's no unnecessary sidebar shadowing that just takes up space. Sidebar icons have color again, which is something Apple removed in macOS Tahoe. Icons Apple didn't budge on requiring squircle Mac icons, but it did change icon design. Icons have more layers of Liquid Glass to improve detail and sharpness in light, dark, tinted, and clear icon modes. Apple is also using icons for some menu bar items to make it easier to find commonly used actions. HDR Apple is using HDR for depth and dimension in the macOS Golden Gate interface. Launch Date macOS Golden Gate also includes all of the new Siri AI features coming in iOS 27, along with performance improvements that make the Mac feel faster. The update is limited to developers right now, but Apple plans to release a public beta in July. macOS Golden Gate will launch this fall.

Macworld Apple’s WWDC26 keynote was focused on new AI-based features, including Siri AI and Apple Intelligence. The demonstrations during the keynote portray the new AI features as powerful ways for users to be more productive, efficient, and creative. But in order to unleash all that power, you have to have a device that’s compatible. Because there is varying level of AI implementation here, the compatibility list seems as complicated as the tech created to run these features. The compatibility list for each device breaks down to the following levels: xOS 27 compatibility without Apple Intelligence and Siri AI xOS 27 compatibility including Apple Intelligence and Siri AI Devices that can run xOS 27 and Apple Intelligence/Siri AI with on-device AI models The main difference with the on-device AI models is, according to Apple, “helpful features like expressive voices and higher-accuracy dictation.” Here’s a lowdown on the level of AI features Apple will offer in the xOS 27 updates this fall, and the devices that are compatible with them. iPhone compatibility Apple Summary If you want to be able to run everything–iOS 27, Apple Intelligence, and Apple Intelligence features that use on-device models–you need an iPhone 17 Pro or later, or an iPhone Air. To be able to run iOS 27 and Apple Intelligence without the on-device model features, you need an iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16 or iPhone 16 Pro, or an iPhone Air. Any other iPhone as far back as the iPhone 11 will run iOS 27 without Apple Intelligence. iOS 27 is compatible with: iPhone SE (2nd generation) iPhone 11 and later iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max and later iPhone 12 mini and later iPhone 14 Plus and later iPhone 16e and later iPhone Air However, Apple Intelligence and Siri AI are not compatible with all the iPhones on the above list. iOS 27 with Apple Intelligence and Siri AI requires: iPhone 16 and later iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max and later iPhone 16 Plus iPhone 16e and later iPhone Air Apple Intelligence compatibility goes a step further. During the keynote, Apple’s Craig Federighi said, “Our most powerful on-device model and the features it enables, like expressive voices and more advanced dictation, will be coming to our most capable iPhone, iPad, and Mac systems.” The list of iPhones that support on-device Apple Intelligence models is short: iPhone 17 Pro and later iPhone Air07:01 pmApple’s premium Thunderbolt 5 Pro Cable is nearly half-off with this code
Macworld Apple Thunderbolt 5 Pro 3.3ft cable View Deal (function () { document.querySelector("#sticky-promo-block a").addEventListener("click", function(e) { const debug = document.location.host.search(/lndo.site|go-vip.net/) !== -1; const text = this.closest("#sticky-promo-block").querySelector("p.promo-title").textContent; const data = { event: "stickyConversionUnitClick", eventCategory: "Sticky Conversion", eventAction: "Click", eventLabel: text }; if(debug)console.log("Sticky Conversion CLick - pushing to dataLayer: ", data); dataLayer.push(data); return true; }); })(); Apple’s 1-meter Thunderbolt 5 Pro Cable is down to $47 from $69 at Woot, which is already a great price for an ultra-high-end cable that rarely goes on sale. However, when you enter APPLEFIVE at checkout, you’ll get an extra $5 off, bringing it down to $42, and if you’re a new Woot customer, that code knocks off $10 instead, landing you the cable for just $37. The cable carries full Thunderbolt 5 bandwidth, high-wattage charging, and proper display output all at once. That combination matters when you’re running premium gear like your MacBook Pro. If you connect a high-end monitor, a docking station, or fast external storage that depends on real speed, a cable that can’t keep up quietly bottlenecks everything. This one won’t. That’s also where Apple’s own cable earns its price. Plenty of USB-C cables look identical from the outside, but many don’t support the same mix of speed, video, and power. Buying one that’s clearly rated for the job removes that guesswork, which is worth something when you’re plugging in equipment that costs a lot of money. Before you shell out the money, think about whether you actually need this cable. If you’re just charging a phone, you won’t need it. If you have a laptop with a TB5 port, however, it will come in handy. The cable doesn’t just match Thunderbolt 5 ports with data transfer up to 120Gb/s, but also Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, and USB 4 data transfer up to 80Gb/s. It also supports DisplayPort 2.1 video and delivers up to 240W of charging. The braided design fights against tangling and helps the cable coil neatly. This cable is only one meter long, but that’s a sensible length for reaching a monitor, dock, or drive sitting near your MacBook. At $47 — or closer to $37 for new customers with APPLEFIVE — this is an easy pick if you own high-end Thunderbolt gear and want a cable you can trust to handle all of it.07:00 pmApple’s iOS 27 just dropped major clues about its long-awaited foldable iPhone

The European Commission says Apple's decision not to launch Siri AI in the EU is Apple's alone, arguing that the company sought an exemption from Digital Markets Act interoperability rules instead of building a compliant privacy- and security-preserving solution. Apple, meanwhile, says regulators rejected its proposals and claims the DMA would require giving third-party AI systems overly broad access to users' devices. MacRumors reports: Commission spokesperson Thomas Regnier told reporters in Brussels: "The decision not to roll out Siri AI in the EU is Apple's and Apple's only. Apple was simply unable to develop interoperability solutions that meet essential EU privacy and security standards. Instead of trying to find a suitable compliance solution, Apple simply made a request to the European Commission to be exempted from their interoperability obligations. That's not an option." Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of Software Engineering, said the company was "deeply disappointed" and cited what it described as regulators' refusal to accept any of Apple's proposals, including a system called Trusted System Agent that would have allowed third-party virtual assistants to safely access the same device capabilities as Siri AI. The Commission's account tells a different story. Rather than negotiating over Apple's proposed solutions, regulators say Apple simply requested a blanket exemption from its interoperability obligations under the Digital Markets Act, something the Commission says is not an available option. Apple's statement framed the DMA's requirements as demanding that any AI system be given "nearly unlimited access" to a user's device.

iOS 27's key new feature is a more intelligent and personal version of Siri, but the changes go well beyond that. In a press release today, Apple outlined additional enhancements coming across Apple Maps, Find My, Apple Wallet, Apple Music, and more. Apple Maps has gained an enhanced Flyover experience powered by AI, enabling you to view aerial imagery in "stunning detail" for select cities. In the U.S., Apple Maps has also received a new Local Lists feature, which surfaces things such as trending restaurants and kid-friendly places to visit. In the Find My app, you will have the ability to share your location with others for a custom duration, such as four days and six hours. Or, you can set a set an exact date and time for your location sharing to expire. In addition, you can now pause your location sharing with specific people until the end of the day. On iOS 26 and earlier, there are only three preset timeframes available: indefinitely, until end of day, and one hour. In the U.S., iOS 27 allows you to split bills with a new feature powered by Apple Cash and Apple Intelligence. This capability is available in the Messages and Apple Wallet apps, or by using the new Siri mode in the Camera app. "When users point their iPhone at a receipt using Siri mode, it can surface the relevant action to split a bill with Apple Cash and identify the items on the receipt," said Apple. "As users select their items, their total payment is calculated, including their share of tax and tip, so they can pay back exactly what they owe with Apple Cash." You can now create custom passes in Apple Wallet from physical cards, like loyalty or membership cards. With the Siri mode in the Camera app, you can simply point your iPhone at any physical card with a barcode and save it to Apple Wallet. Once added, passes are ready to present as a barcode or QR code right from the iPhone. iOS 27 provides an enhanced Apple Wallet key experience for participating hotels and resorts. You can view more details about your trips, receive updates about booked activities, access services available during your stay, and more. Apple Pay's checkout flow on the web and in apps is getting an updated design that allows you to swipe to switch payment cards. And if you have an eligible card in Apple Wallet, it will be accompanied by more information, including rewards balances, debit account balances, pay later options, and more. As part of the Tap to Pay on iPhone feature, new Tap to Share functionality allows you to connect to a participating small business owner's iPhone and securely share shipping information, email addresses, loyalty rewards, and more. In the Apple Podcasts app, there is a new "search within show" feature. In the Photos app, iCloud Shared Albums now support full-resolution sharing, more file types, emoji reactions, and more. Even people without an Apple device can now join and contribute photos to these shared albums on the web. In the Apple Music app, Apple said the AutoMix feature has "even better transitions" that feel "more immersive and engaging for listeners." Introduced in iOS 26, AutoMix adds seamless, DJ-like transitions between songs. Apple Music's Lyrics Translation feature is expanding to seven additional language pairings: English to French, English to German, English to Italian, English to Korean, English to Spanish, French to English, and Japanese to English. Apple's press release provides more details about these features and a few others. iOS 27 is currently available in developer beta, with a public beta to follow in July. The update is expected to be released in September.Related Roundup: iOS 27Tags: Apple Maps, Apple Music, Apple Wallet, Find MyThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums04:39 pmAmazon slashes 30% off Eero Max 7 Wi-Fi router ahead of Prime Day

Apple has added direct touch input to Sidecar with macOS 27 Golden Gate and iPadOS 27, allowing users to tap and interact with macOS interface elements using a finger on their iPad for the first time. Previously, Sidecar was deliberately limited as a touch interface. While multi-touch gestures like two-finger scrolling, pinch-to-zoom, and three-finger editing gestures for copy, cut, paste, and undo have been supported for years, directly tapping to click links, open apps, or interact with macOS UI elements was not possible with a finger. Those interactions required either the Mac's connected mouse or trackpad, or an Apple Pencil. The new Direct Touch capability closes that gap. In macOS 27, users can can now tap, swipe, and interact with macOS apps on their iPad screen using a finger, bringing Sidecar closer to how third-party tools like Luna Display have worked for some time. Apple Pencil support continues alongside the new touch capabilities. ICYMI: You can now use touch controls on your Mac display with Sidecar on iPad! 👀 pic.twitter.com/KOErLtoZCA— BLCNYY (@BLCNYY) June 9, 2026 The expanded Sidecar functionality requires an Apple Silicon Mac running macOS 27 Golden Gate and a compatible iPad running iPadOS 27. As with previous versions of the feature, both devices must be signed into the same Apple ID, connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and have Bluetooth enabled, with the two devices within 10 meters of each other. The feature is likely another indication of impending touch support on the Mac, along with other features like pull-to-refresh. Apple is said to be planning to launch a "MacBook Ultra" as a new top-tier laptop with a touchscreen OLED display, an M6-series chip, the Dynamic Island, and a thinner design. Reports suggest that the device is scheduled to launch in early 2027.Related Roundup: macOS 27Tag: SidecarThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums04:08 pmWWDC 2026 was somehow even more one note than I expected

Nomad today introduced two new products in its Stellar Orange colorway, expanding the number of accessories it offers in the unique shade. Stellar Orange matches the Cosmic Orange color that Apple used for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. The Stellar Orange Stand One is a 2-in–1 charging stand that's priced at $135. It was previously available in silver and carbide, but it now comes in bright orange. It is a Qi2 charger that charges a MagSafe iPhone at up to 25W. The upright charger supports charging an iPhone in portrait or landscape orientation for Stand By, and it has a quality glass and metal build. A second Qi charger at the bottom of the stand allows AirPods to be charged at 5W. The stand charges over USB-C, and you'll need to supply a 40W or better power adapter, but it does come with a braided nylon USB-C cable. An anti-slip base keeps it in place, as does the weight of the charger. Nomad's Stellar Orange Tracking Card Pro is $39, and it is made to slip into a wallet to add Find My tracking capabilities. It connects to the Find My network so it is locatable in the Find My app's Items tab, and it can use nearby Apple devices to report its location if lost or stolen. The Tracking Card Pro can charge using any Qi or MagSafe charger, and the battery lasts for up to 16 months. It is 2.5mm thin, which makes it three times thinner than an AirTag and better suited for use in a wallet. It does not support Precision Finding because Apple doesn't make the iPhone's Ultra Wideband chip available to third-party trackers. Nomad's $135 Stellar Orange Stand One and $39 Stellar Orange Tracking Card Pro are available from the Nomad website as of today. Note: MacRumors is an affiliate partner Nomad.
