The next generation of CarPlay that’s been promised for months is still apparently a ways off

In January 2024 Apple updated its website to confirm that the first U.S. vehicle models with next-generation CarPlay support will debut that year. It didn’t , and now, as noted by MacRumors, Apple has now updated its website in the U.S. to remove that 2024 timeframe...

Elevation Lab TimeCapsule 10-Year Battery Case review: Everlasting AirTag life | Macworld
Elevation Lab TimeCapsule 10-Year Battery Case review: Everlasting AirTag life
Macworld At a glanceExpert's Rating Pros Estimated 10-year lifespan versus 6 to 12 months for an AirTag-compatible lithium coin battery Waterproof against steam cleaning and high-pressure jets (IP69) Low cost relative to standard rugged waterproof AirTag cases Uses standard AA batteries Screws use standard hex-head style (hex wrench included) Cons Larger form factor compared to AirTag Our Verdict The waterproof case design and use of standard AA batteries lets an AirTage in the TimeCapsule 10-Year Battery Case keep tracking stuff for extended periods. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Price When Reviewed$19.99 | $29.99 2-pack | $39.99 4-pack Best Prices Today: TimeCapsule 10-Year Battery Case Retailer Price $19.99 View Deal Elevation Lab $20 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket Apple’s AirTag has proved an invaluable tool in tracking down baggage lost or delayed by airlines, misplaced items you’ve left behind, or stuff stolen from you, whether a bag containing a camera or your car or bike. Its biggest failing? The CR2032 lithium coin battery required to power it lasts about 6 to 12 months. (Apple claims it can last over a year, but I and many others see a more typical shorter life using brand-name batteries.) Some companies offer Find My network compatible items certified by Apple that have non-replaceable batteries with longer lives, like the 2-year warrantied promise of the Chipolo Card Spot (review), after which they offer a discounted replacement. Others, like Pebblebee with its Card Universal (Apple or Google network support) (review) or Knog’s Scout Bike Alarm & Finder (review) let you recharge an internal battery via external contacts or a port. Apple AirTag Read our review Price When Reviewed: 1 pack $29 | 4 pack $99 Best Prices Today: $25.99 at B&H | $27 at Walmart | $29 at Apple Now, there’s something new: not a new Find My device, but a new case that incorporates external batteries. With an estimated 10-year lifespan using two extended-use lithium AA batteries, the Elevation Lab TimeCapsule 10-Year Battery Case may be an inexpensive answer for certain use cases where you want to go huge periods between changing batteries. A clever case adds external batteries The AirTag gave rise to a huge number of cases (now numbering in the hundreds) from dozens of companies. But only one has risen to the challenge of long life. Elevation Lab, an early maker of rugged AirTag cases for bikes, pet collars, and other uses, has released the TimeCapsule 10-Year Battery Case. (Yes, it’s called a “TimeCapsule,” one word, and has nothing to do with Apple’s discontinued networked Time Machine/AirPort Base Station product, the Time Capsule.) The TimeCapsule 10-Year Battery Case is shown here disassembled (left, right) and put together (bottom). The AirTag (top) fits securely on top of the CR2032 battery adapter in the case. This case uses a clever internal adapter to power an AirTag with two AA batteries instead of the small coin battery. The case is also highly waterproof, with an IP69 rating versus the AirTag’s native IP67 rating. The company achieves its life-extending trick by having you remove the plastic backing of an AirTag as if to replace the coin battery. The interior of the TimeCapsule case has a metal raised area the exact dimensions of a CR2032 battery. You place the open side of the AirTag onto it, add two AA batteries, and use the included screws–apparently milled to precision instead of stamped–to firmly seal the case. Why might you want an AirTag that lasts ten years between battery changes? Apple prompts you in the Find My app and through notifications as the battery life of an AirTag or other item starts to get low. If you ignore these notifications long enough, they disappear when the battery dies. Elevation Lab’s founder said in announcing the product that he was inspired by just this when he discovered he’d failed to replace the battery in an AirTag inside a camera bag after it was stolen, and the last location was tracked three months previously. You might also want to place an AirTag in a location that’s difficult to reach or requires disassembly to get to, and you’d ordinarily avoid with the knowledge you would need to get to it every several months to replace the battery. That could be useful if you want to put an AirTag somewhere that a thief couldn’t remove it without substantial effort, taking minutes or even hours, but where the AirTag’s Bluetooth signal will still penetrate to reach nearby devices. An AirTag will keep broadcasting unless its battery is removed or it’s removed from the paired user’s account. If the AirTag (or third-party item) is not within Bluetooth range when removed from an account, it has to be reset by hand in addition to the account removal. Pick a battery that is rated for long usage. Pick the right AA battery On the battery front, don’t use standard alkaline batteries, which the company warns against. Alkalines won’t last long enough and can degrade in the voltage they produce or even leak battery chemicals. You may have seem this leakage before when you’ve spotted a white crust on the terminals inside a device that hasn’t had its batteries changed for a while. ElevationLab recommends the Energizer Ultimate Lithium battery, which is highly rated in independent testing, such as this exhaustive examination at Cinema Sound. They’re about $2 to $4 each depending on the quantity purchased in a package. The Energizer batteries shouldn’t need replacement under conditions measured by ElevationLab for as long as ten years. (There’s no way for us to review that particular aspect, so check back on this review in the year 2035.) You could use rechargeable lithium batteries, such as those from Pale Blue Earth, but they cost two to five times as much each, last for hundreds of recharges, and are better suited for heavy continuous power usage, like with a battery-powered doorbell camera Assembling and deploying a case You receive a TimeCapsule in disassembled form with a set of four hex screws and a small hex wrench. You can also use a standard H2.5 (2.5mm) hex bit or screwdriver in a standard tool set. Assembly takes a minute or less. Once screwed shut, the case has an IP69 rating. The IP67 rating of the AirTag makes it resistant to 30 minutes of submersion at a depth of a meter (3.3 ft). IP69 allows for prolonged immersion at up to a meter plus provides protection against jet sprays. The assembled TimeCapsule 10-Year Battery Case provides a high level of waterproofing. The case is large compared to an AirTag due to housing two AA batteries and requisite circuitry. It measures 4.45 by 1.57 by 0.75 inches (11.3 by 4 by 1.9 cm). Make sure the place you want to use it can accommodate the bulk. The product doesn’t come with a mounting bracket, screw holes for mounting, or an adhesive. You’ll have to figure that out for locations where it can’t float, as in a bag. The only downside I can see of this ten-year battery case is that Apple may improve its AirTag enough in the meantime that you’ll want to swap in a fresher one with newer features, or a third party will develop a longer-live, rechargeable battery with a bigger form factor. Apple could also change the size and shape of an AirTag, requiring a case redesign to use newer ones. However, you have years to think about that while your TimeCapsule-encased AirTag keeps on pinging. Check out Macworld’s guide to the best AirTag key rings, luggage tags, wallets & accessories.

Epic Games To Cover Developer iOS Fees | Slashdot
Epic Games To Cover Developer iOS Fees
Epic Games is expanding its mobile app store to include nearly 20 third-party games on Android and EU iOS, launching a free games program, and temporarily covering Apple's Core Technology Fee for participating developers to counter platform restrictions. "Our aim here isn't just to launch a bunch of different stores in different places, but to build a single, cross-platform store in which, within the era of multi-platform games, if you buy a game or digital items in one place, you have the ability to own them everywhere," Epic CEO Tim Sweeney told reporters during a press briefing. The Verge reports: Under the program, Epic will offer new free games in the store each month before eventually switching to a weekly schedule. However, the games aren't actually in the store yet -- Epic said on Thursday that it "ran into a few bugs that we're working through now" and "we'll provide an update once the games are live and ready to play!" To sweeten the deal for developers that participate in the free games program on iOS, Epic will help defray the cost of using third-party marketplaces. For one year, it will pay these developers' Core Technology Fee (CTF): a 50 euro cent fee levied on every install of an iOS app that uses third-party stores after it exceeds 1 million annual downloads. (Apple gives developers with less than 10 million euros in global revenue a three-year on-ramp.) [...] Epic writes in its blog post that covering the fee "is not financially viable for every third party app store or for Epic long term, but we'll do it while the European Commission investigates Apple's non-compliance with the law."

Macworld We love the Apple Watch Ultra 2, so we were rather happy to see it on sale for $739 at Amazon. That’s a $60 discount for one of the best-featured smartwatches around. At $739, this isn’t the best price we’ve seen for the Ultra 2, but then again, it’s only $20 away. Unless you want to wait a few months to get it at its all-time low of $719, now’s a good time to add it to your cart. In our review of the Apple Watch Ultra 2, we gave it a four-star rating, appreciating the bright screen and the slick operating system, as well as how great it is for tracking sports and random workouts. “Ultimately, the Watch Ultra 2 is the best smartwatch Apple has made yet,” we wrote. The rugged build will survive any of your outdoorsy activities, even withstanding long swimming sessions and dives. The watch will keep track of your location, help you get to your destination, and tell you how your workout went, whether you’re at the gym, cycling, or hiking.

Apple Watch Bands Are Safe to Wear, Says Apple, After Lawsuit Filed | MacRumors
Apple Watch Bands Are Safe to Wear, Says Apple, After Lawsuit Filed
Following a class action lawsuit that alleges some Apple Watch bands contain toxic "forever chemicals," also known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), Apple has ensured that Apple Watch bands are "safe for users to wear." Apple's full statement today:Apple Watch bands are safe for users to wear. In addition to our own testing, we also work with independent laboratories to conduct rigorous testing and analysis of the materials used in our products, including Apple Watch bands.Apple said its efforts to remove potentially harmful chemicals from its products and manufacturing processes often exceed regulatory requirements. In a November 2022 document, Apple detailed its commitment to "completely phase out" its use of PFAS in its products and manufacturing processes. Apple said it would "take time" for this process to be completed, due to various challenges, including identifying and developing non-PFAS alternatives that meet certain "performance needs." From the white paper:We started with an assessment of the PFAS class with the highest use volume in our products — the fluoropolymers. While our analysis indicated that these materials are safe during product use, we felt it important to broaden our scope to consider manufacturing along the supply chain. We concluded that our goal needs to restrict the use of all PFAS compounds. A complete phaseout of PFAS from Apple products and processes will take time. We need to compile a comprehensive catalog of PFAS use in electronics, identify and develop non-PFAS alternatives that can meet the performance needs for certain critical applications, and take into account the time needed for material qualification. Lastly we need to ensure that the non-PFAS alternatives do not result in regrettable substitutions — where alternatives are as harmful as, or even more harmful than, the PFAS being replaced.The lawsuit cited a recent study that found some smartwatch bands contain "high levels" of PFAS, which can be absorbed through skin and lead to health problems. According to The Guardian, the study tested smartwatch models from Apple, Nike, Fitbit, and Google, but it apparently did not list any specific smartwatch bands containing PFAS by name. Apple did not immediately respond when we asked which Apple Watch bands contain PFAS, if any. The lawsuit's proposed class is anyone in the U.S. who purchased a Sport Band, Nike Sport Band, or Ocean Band for an Apple Watch. A judge still has to decide whether to allow the class action to proceed.Related Roundup: Apple Watch 10Tag: Apple LawsuitsBuyer's Guide: Apple Watch (Neutral)This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Epic Games Store Lures EU Developers With Promise to Pay Apple Fees | MacRumors
Epic Games Store Lures EU Developers With Promise to Pay Apple Fees
Epic Games is planning to pay the Apple fees that EU developers incur when distributing their apps through the ‌Epic Games‌ Store, Epic CEO Tim Sweeney told The Verge today. ‌Epic Games‌ added almost 20 third-party games to its app store on iOS devices in the European Union, where alternate app stores are allowed to operate. Epic also debuted its free games program, and the company says it will pay the Core Technology Fees for iOS developers in the EU who offer their apps for free on the ‌Epic Games‌ Store. Developers who bring their apps to the ‌Epic Games‌ Store can get their Core Technology Fee (CTF) paid for one year. The CTF is a 0.50 euro fee that developers must pay for every app install, and that fee applies to apps regardless of how they are monetized. It is worth noting that Apple offers CTF exceptions for small developers that include no CTF for a three-year period if the developer is earning under 10 million euros, plus developers that have under a million annual app installs do not pay fees to begin with. Apple also does not charge a fee for developers with a no revenue business that offer apps without monetization. Sweeney has criticized Apple's Core Technology Fee and app distribution guidelines many times, and he told The Verge today that the CTF is "ruinous for any hopes of a competing store getting a foothold." He further said that it is "not financially viable" for ‌Epic Games‌ to pay Apple's fees longterm, but it plans to do so while it waits to see if the European Union requires Apple to further tweak its rules for third-party marketplaces under the Digital Markets Act. ‌Epic Games‌ claims that its mobile store can't attract developers because of the fees that Apple charges, with "scare screens" also driving away customers in the EU. "We won't really have app store freedom, even in Europe, and actual user choice and competition, unless the DMA is robustly enforced," Sweeney said. The ‌Epic Games‌ Store for iOS is only available in the European Union right now because alternative app stores and distribution methods are not allowed in other countries.Tags: Epic Games, Epic Games vs. AppleThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Says Several Car Makers Still Plan to Support Next-Generation CarPlay in Future Vehicles | MacRumors
Apple Says Several Car Makers Still Plan to Support Next-Generation CarPlay in Future Vehicles
Apple today confirmed that "several" car makers still plan to support next-generation CarPlay in future vehicle models. Apple said each car brand will share more details as they near the announcements of these vehicles, but it did not provide a timeframe. Apple previously said next-generation ‌CarPlay‌ would launch in 2024, but that did not happen. Apple's statement about next-generation ‌CarPlay‌:The next generation of CarPlay builds on years of success and insights gained from CarPlay, delivering the best of Apple and the automaker in a deeply integrated and customizable experience. We continue to work closely with several automakers, enabling them to showcase their unique brand and visual design philosophies in the next generation of CarPlay. Each car brand will share more details as they near the announcements of their models that will support the next generation of CarPlay.Apple also remains committed to its current ‌CarPlay‌ platform, and said it is available in over 98% of new cars sold in the U.S. over the past few years. Apple previously said committed car makers included Acura, Audi, Ford, Honda, Infiniti, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Polestar, Porsche, Renault, and Volvo. In December 2023, Aston Martin and Porsche previewed next-generation ‌CarPlay‌ designs, but have yet to deliver. It is unclear which car makers are currently working with Apple. This news comes just minutes after Apple updated its website to remove the missed 2024 timeframe that it had previously stated for next-generation ‌CarPlay‌. Apple first previewed the software system at WWDC 2022.Related Roundup: CarPlayRelated Forum: HomePod, HomeKit, CarPlay, Home & Auto TechnologyThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Removes '2024' Timeframe From Next-Generation CarPlay Page | MacRumors
Apple Removes '2024' Timeframe From Next-Generation CarPlay Page
Apple's website said the first vehicle models with support for next-generation CarPlay would "arrive in 2024," but that did not happen. A little more than three weeks into 2025, Apple has now updated its website in the U.S. to remove that 2024 timeframe from the next-generation ‌CarPlay‌ section of its overall CarPlay page. The fact that Apple did not remove the entire next-generation ‌CarPlay‌ section from the page suggests that the software might still launch at some point in the future, but Apple is no longer providing a timeframe at this point. It is unclear if Apple, car makers, or both are to blame for the missed 2024 target. We have reached out to Apple for comment. Apple first previewed next-generation ‌CarPlay‌ at WWDC 2022, and there are still signs that it might eventually launch at some point. First, additional references to next-generation ‌CarPlay‌ were added in the iOS 18.3 beta's code. Second, Apple filed some additional next-generation ‌CarPlay‌ images in a EU database last month. Apple promised that next-generation ‌CarPlay‌ would have deep integration with the instrument cluster and climate controls, support for multiple displays across the dashboard, a dedicated FM radio app, customizable widgets, and more. The interface would be tailored to each vehicle model and automaker's brand identity. Here is how Apple describes it:This next generation of CarPlay is the ultimate iPhone experience for the car. It provides content for all the driver's screens including the instrument cluster. This ensures a cohesive design experience that is the very best of your car and your iPhone — with designs for each automaker that express your vehicle’s character and brand. Vehicle functions like radio and temperature controls are handled right from CarPlay. And personalization options ranging from widgets to selecting curated gauge cluster designs make it unique to the driver.If it ever launches, next-generation ‌CarPlay‌ is expected to be available in new vehicles only. It is not an update to the standard ‌CarPlay‌ software. In December 2023, Aston Martin and Porsche previewed next-generation CarPlay instrument cluster designs, but neither brand has rolled out the system. Apple said other committed car makers included Acura, Audi, Ford, Honda, Infiniti, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Polestar, Renault, and Volvo. Given that list is more than two and a half years old, it is unclear if all of those car makers remain committed.Related Roundup: CarPlayRelated Forum: HomePod, HomeKit, CarPlay, Home & Auto TechnologyThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Some Apple Watch Bands Contain Toxic 'Forever Chemicals' Per Lawsuit | MacRumors
Some Apple Watch Bands Contain Toxic 'Forever Chemicals' Per Lawsuit
A class action lawsuit filed against Apple this week in a California federal court accuses the company of false advertising and violating various consumer laws, by failing to disclose that some Apple Watch bands contain toxic materials. Specifically, the complaint alleges that Apple misleads customers into thinking the Apple Watch has health and wellness benefits, and is safe to wear daily. The complaint cites a recent study that reportedly found some smartwatch bands contain "high levels" of so-called "forever chemicals," also known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). These substances can be absorbed through skin and can lead to health problems. For synthetic rubber, PFAS can help to reduce discoloration and stains from sweat and dirt. According to The Guardian, the study did not indicate which smartwatch brands were found to be using PFAS, but it said the study tested smartwatch models from Apple, Nike, Fitbit, and Google. Citing the study, the lawsuit alleges that "elevated levels" of the PFAS fluorine were found in the "expensive" category of smartwatch bands, and the complaint alleges that this included some Apple Watch bands. The proposed class is anyone in the U.S. who purchased a Sport Band, Nike Sport Band, or Ocean Band for an Apple Watch. Apple did not immediately respond to our request for comment. A judge still has to decide whether to allow the class action lawsuit to proceed.Related Roundup: Apple Watch 10Tag: Apple LawsuitsBuyer's Guide: Apple Watch (Neutral)This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Walmart Stands Firm on Why It Doesn't Accept Apple Pay in the U.S. | MacRumors
Walmart Stands Firm on Why It Doesn't Accept Apple Pay in the U.S.
Walmart still does not accept Apple Pay at its more than 4,600 stores across the U.S., and it stood firm on its reasoning for that today. A spokesperson for Walmart today informed MacRumors that its position on contactless payments has not changed since we last reached out about the matter in 2022. The big-box retailer said it remains focused on its own convenient payment technologies available in the Walmart app, including Walmart Pay and Mobile Scan & Go. Walmart Pay allows customers to scan a QR code displayed at checkout to pay for their purchase with a payment card stored in the Walmart app. Scan & Go allows Walmart+ members to save time by scanning barcodes on items while they shop, rather than having to scan all of the items at a self-checkout register later. The spokesperson said the following statement still stands:We do not accept NFC and instead have implemented convenient solutions, such as Walmart Pay, that provide our customers easy, touchless payments on any smartphone. We have also invested in innovative technologies that go beyond payments, such as Scan & Go, which allow Sam's Club and Walmart+ members to bypass the checkout altogether, providing a truly touchless shopping experience. Apple Pay launched more than 10 years ago, and it was accepted at more than 90 percent of U.S. retailers as of 2022, according to Apple. Some other major Apple Pay holdouts in the U.S. have reversed course and started accepting it over the past few years, including The Home Depot, Lowe's, Kroger, and Texas grocery store chain H-E-B, leaving Walmart as one of the country's only major retailers not to accept Apple Pay. Walmart has accepted Apple Pay in Canada since 2020.Related Roundup: Apple PayTag: WalmartRelated Forum: Apple Music, Apple Pay/Card, iCloud, Fitness+This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Introduced the LaserWriter 40 Years Ago Today | MacRumors
Apple Introduced the LaserWriter 40 Years Ago Today
Apple introduced the LaserWriter 40 years ago today, forming a cornerstone of what became known as the desktop publishing revolution. The LaserWriter was Apple's first laser printer and among the first on the market to incorporate Adobe's PostScript technology, a page description language that allowed for precise and scalable rendering of text, layouts, and graphics. It was a significant departure from the dot-matrix printers of the time. The LaserWriter was powered by a Motorola 68000 microprocessor—the same processor used in the Macintosh. With a built-in programming language, its own RAM, and a CPU that ran at a higher speed than the Macintosh, the LaserWriter printer had the most processing power of any Apple product of the time. With a resolution of 300 dots per inch (dpi), the LaserWriter delivered print quality previously achievable only with expensive professional typesetting equipment. The printer was priced at $6,995 upon its release (almost $24,000 today). Apple's introduction of the LaserWriter coincided with the launch of the AppleTalk networking protocol, which allowed multiple Macintosh computers to share a single printer, which was unprecedented at the time and revolutionized printing in offices. Paired with the Macintosh and software such as Aldus PageMaker, the printer enabled users to design and print professional-quality materials, such as brochures, newsletters, and advertisements, directly from their desktops. This effectively democratized publishing by making tools that were once exclusive to large printing firms accessible to small businesses, educators, and independent creators. Apple evolved the LaserWriter product line into a range of models, including the high-performance LaserWriter Pro series and the more affordable Personal LaserWriter. As competitors like HP and Canon introduced more cost-effective laser printers with comparable features, and third-party printers became increasingly compatible with Apple systems, the LaserWriter lost its competitive edge. When Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1997, peripheral products like printers were deemed non-essential and the LaserWriter was discontinued.This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Expected to Release iOS 18.3 Next Week With These New Features | MacRumors
Apple Expected to Release iOS 18.3 Next Week With These New Features
iOS 18.3 should be released to the public next week, following beta testing since mid-December. While the software update is a relatively minor one, it still includes a handful of new features, changes, and bug fixes for iPhones. Below, we recap everything new in iOS 18.3. Notification Summary Changes Apple Intelligence notification summaries for news apps are temporarily unavailable on iOS 18.3, after the feature inaccurately summarized some news stories. Starting with iOS 18.3, notifications that have been summarized have italicized text, which makes them stand out visually compared to regular notifications. Apple also promised that improvements to notification summaries are coming in a future iOS update. Last, iOS 18.3 lets you easily manage settings for notification summaries from the Lock Screen. Visual Intelligence Upgrades All four iPhone 16 models are equipped with a Camera Control button that enables Visual Intelligence, a new feature that can provide information about items or places in a person's surroundings. For example, Apple says users can click and hold the Camera Control to bring up the hours or ratings for a restaurant that they pass by. iOS 18.3 includes a few Visual Intelligence upgrades for all iPhone 16 models. First, you can now add an event to the Calendar app from a poster or flyer. Second, Visual Intelligence can now identify animals and plants. Visual Intelligence is not available on any other iPhone models. Calculator App Enhancement iOS 18.3 reintroduces a small but useful Calculator app function that had been removed in an earlier software update. Now, when you tap the equals sign a second time, the Calculator app repeats the last mathematical operation. This functionality is useful for calculating compound interest or other repeat operations. Black Unity (Possibly) In the tvOS 18.3 Release Candidate for the Apple TV, MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris uncovered a "UNITY25" reference in the update's code. In each of the past four years, Apple announced a Black Unity campaign, and this has typically included a new Apple Watch band, watch face, and a matching iPhone wallpaper. It is unclear what Apple may be planning for Black Unity in 2025. While the tvOS 18.3 code suggests something might be coming, the iOS 18.3 Release Candidate notes did not mention anything. An announcement is likely by next week, if one is made. More iOS 18.3 fixes these two bugs related to Siri and Apple Music: Fixes an issue where the keyboard might disappear when initiating a typed Siri request Resolves an issue where audio playback continues until the song ends even after closing Apple MusicApple also added references to robot vacuum support in the Home app to iOS 18.3's code, but it seems this functionality never went live. Apple's website says the feature is coming in a future update, so perhaps we will see it with iOS 18.4. We previously shared Apple's full iOS 18.3 release notes.Related Roundups: iOS 18, iPadOS 18Related Forums: iOS 18, iPadOS 18This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple, Google Face UK Antitrust Probe Into Mobile Ecosystem Power | MacRumors
Apple, Google Face UK Antitrust Probe Into Mobile Ecosystem Power
UK regulators on Thursday launched an investigation into Apple and Google's smartphone ecosystems to assess whether they have "strategic market status" (SMS), a designation that if imposed would subject the companies to specific conduct requirements set by the Competition and Markets authority (CMA) to improve competition. The investigation will look at the companies' operating systems, app stores and browsers that operate on mobile devices, and the impact they have on users and on businesses developing content and services such as apps for iOS and Android devices. According to the CMA's press release, the issues that will form part of the CMA's investigations include: The extent of competition between and within Apple's and Google's mobile ecosystems. The CMA will assess how competition is working across Apple's and Google's mobile ecosystems and what barriers may be preventing other competitors from offering rival products and services on Apple's and Google's platforms. Possible leveraging of Apple's and Google's market power into other activities. This will include investigating whether Apple or Google are using their position in operating systems, app distribution or browsers to favour their own apps and services, which often come pre-installed and prominently placed on iOS and Android devices. Potential exploitative conduct. This will include investigating whether Apple or Google are requiring app developers to sign up to unfair terms and conditions as a condition of distributing their apps on Apple's and Google's app stores; and whether users may be presented with 'choice architecture' which makes it difficult to make active choices about which apps they are using on mobile devices. If deemed to have SMS designation, the potential conduct requirements the companies would have to comply with could include, for example, requiring Apple or Google to open up access to key functionality needed by other apps to operate on mobile devices, or making it possible for users to download apps and pay for in-app content more easily outside of Apple's and Google's own app stores. Sarah Cardell, chief executive of the CMA, said: "The operating systems, apps and browsers installed on our phones and tablet devices act as our gateway into the digital world – whether that is communicating with our friends and loved ones, buying from businesses or accessing creative content. "More competitive mobile ecosystems could foster new innovations and new opportunities across a range of services that millions of people use, be they app stores, browsers or operating systems. Better competition could also boost growth here in the UK, with businesses able to offer new and innovative types of products and services on Apple's and Google's platforms."This is the second announced SMS investigation in as many weeks, the first of which is looking into Google Search's approximately 90% market share. The CMA said at the time that a second one would be coming this month, and now we have it. The CMA can impose significant fines for non-compliance, including up to 1% of a firm's annual worldwide turnover, with additional penalties for continued noncompliance. Individuals in senior management positions may also face fines or disqualification from serving as directors. The probe will take no more than nine months, and the statutory deadline for both investigations is October 22, 2025. The investigations are separate to the CMA's ongoing market investigation into mobile browser and cloud gaming restrictions put in place by both Apple and Google.

Apple Pressed by India to Pre-Install Government Apps on iPhones | MacRumors
Apple Pressed by India to Pre-Install Government Apps on iPhones
Apple and other smartphone makers are being pressed by India to pre-install government-developed apps on devices before sale, echoing a similar 2021 demand from Russia that Apple ultimately complied with. The request came during a meeting last month where government officials outlined plans for expanding access to state digital services, according to Bloomberg. The initiative would require manufacturers to include the government's GOV.in app store and related apps on smartphones sold in India. When Apple faced similar requirements in Russia, the company agreed to show users a prompt during device setup to install government-approved apps. The move was a rare exception to Apple's strict control over pre-installed software, coming some years before a barrage of regulatory demands from the likes of the EU that have since forced Apple to open up its platforms. Both Apple and Google are showing resistance to India's proposal, according to sources familiar with the matter cited by the media outlet. Google, whose Android operating system powers more than 90% of India's roughly 700 million smartphones, is actively pushing back against the initiative. During the discussions, government officials explored implementing policy mandates or legal measures to ensure compliance. Beyond pre-installation, they also requested that their apps be available for download outside the company's app stores from third-party sources without triggering "untrusted source" warnings. The push comes as India seeks greater regulatory control over global tech companies. The situation is particularly complex given India's growing importance to both companies. Apple has significantly expanded iPhone production in India, which now accounts for more than 14% of global output, while Google has plans for major investments in smartphone assembly in the country.Tags: Bloomberg, IndiaThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple's Mac Mini Turns 20 Today | MacRumors
Apple's Mac Mini Turns 20 Today
Apple launched the original Mac mini 20 years ago today, kickstarting a trend of small but powerful computers. The ‌Mac mini‌ was originally designed as a gateway for users to enter the Apple ecosystem without the expense associated with the company's higher-end offerings of the time, such as the Power Mac G5 and iMac G5, and costly peripherals. Apple's then-CEO Steve Jobs described the ‌Mac mini‌ as "the most affordable Mac ever" during its unveiling at Macworld Expo 2005, noting that its $499 starting price was intended to appeal to PC users looking to switch to the Mac platform. Today's base model ‌Mac mini‌ with the M4 chip costs just $599. The original ‌Mac mini‌ featured a PowerPC G4 processor available in 1.25 GHz and 1.42 GHz configurations, an ATI Radeon 9200 GPU, 56MB of DDR SDRAM (expandable to 1GB), and 40GB or 80GB of HDD storage. Connectivity included two USB 2.0 ports, a FireWire 400 port, and DVI output. It shipped with Mac OS X Panther and iLife '05. The ‌Mac mini‌'s aluminum and polycarbonate casing measured just 6.5 x 6.5 x 2 inches—far smaller than the bulky tower PCs and even many contemporary Macs of the time. Today's ‌Mac mini‌ has evolved considerably from the model introduced in 2005, featuring an even smaller casing, recycled aluminum, Thunderbolt 5 connectivity, and Apple's custom silicon for a massive leap in performance and efficiency. While the first-generation ‌Mac mini‌ was powered by the PowerPC architecture, Apple transitioned to Intel processors in 2006 and its own custom silicon in 2020. Today's high-end version can be equipped with the M4 Pro chip and up to 64GB of memory, offering a super-compact workstation that rivals even the Mac Studio.Related Roundup: Mac miniBuyer's Guide: Mac Mini (Buy Now)Related Forum: Mac miniThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Samsung's VR Headset Looks a Lot Like Apple Vision Pro | MacRumors
Samsung's VR Headset Looks a Lot Like Apple Vision Pro
At its Unpacked event, Samsung showed off its upcoming "Project Moohan" AR/VR headset, which is designed to compete with the Vision Pro. Some users might even mistake the headset for a Vision Pro, given the design similarities. Samsung is developing the headset in collaboration with Google, and it will run Google's Android XR operating system. Google introduced Android XR late last year. Android XR and Samsung's headset will support being immersed in a virtual environment or staying present in the real world, similar to how Apple allows ‌Apple Vision Pro‌ users to adjust the Vision Pro immersion level by activating or shutting out the real world passthrough view provided by cameras. The headset from Samsung will support Google features like Gemini, Google's AI assistant, providing access to device controls and insight into what the wearer is seeing. Samsung has described Project Moohan as "lightweight" and "ergonomically optimized" for "maximum comfort," but no details on weight are available yet. Project Moohan will be the first headset designed for Android XR, and it is set to launch later in 2025.Tags: Google, SamsungThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Samsung Working on Super Thin 'Galaxy S25 Edge' to Compete With iPhone 17 Air
When unveiling the new Galaxy S25 lineup today, Samsung did a "one more thing" announcement, introducing an additional Galaxy smartphone that's set to come out later this year. The Galaxy S25 Edge appears to be aimed at the iPhone 17 Air, a rumored ultra thin iPhone that's set to debut this September. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge will be thinner than the S25 pictured here Samsung only teased the Galaxy S25 Edge, but the device is set to launch in the first half of 2025. With a debut date before September, Samsung will beat Apple and will be able to launch a super thin smartphone first. The Samsung Galaxy Edge is on the right in this comparison photo Little information is available on the Galaxy S25 Edge, but it appears to be a thinner variation of the Galaxy S25. Samsung plans to price it below the $1300 S25 Ultra, suggesting it will be a middle-tier device with lower specs due to thinness, which is exactly what we're expecting from the ‌iPhone 17‌ Air. View this post on Instagram A post shared by MacRumors (@macrumors) Rumors suggest that Apple's upcoming super thin ‌iPhone‌ will have a 6.6-inch display and a chassis that's somewhere between 5.5mm and 6mm, making it the thinnest ‌iPhone‌ to date. It will have lower battery capacity and a single-lens rear camera due to space constraints, but it will mark Apple's first major ‌iPhone‌ redesign in several years.

iPhone SE 4 Again Rumored to Feature A18 Chip | MacRumors
iPhone SE 4 Again Rumored to Feature A18 Chip
The fourth-generation iPhone SE will be equipped with a chip that has an identifier of T8140, according to a private account on social media platform X. That identifier is used by both the A18 and A18 Pro chips, and given the iPhone SE is a lower-end device, it is very likely that the device will be equipped with the A18 chip out of those two options. The account also said the next iPad Air models will have an M3 chip, and that the iPad 11 will have an A16 chip instead of the previously-rumored A17 Pro chip. The account has a good track record of sharing iOS-related information, but it has had some occasional misses. We continue to respect the account owner's request to not link to its posts, as they wish to remain anonymous and maintain a low profile. Back in October, 9to5Mac independently reported that the next iPhone SE would be equipped with an A18 chip, so there are now multiple sources claiming this. Apple will likely announce the new iPhone SE by March or April. Rumored features for the device include a 6.1-inch OLED display, Face ID, a USB-C port, a single 48-megapixel rear camera, and the first Apple-designed 5G modem. With the A18 chip, and a rumored 8GB of RAM, the device is also expected to support Apple Intelligence. The current iPhone SE looks similar to the iPhone 8, with outdated features such as a Touch ID button, Lightning port, and thick bezels around the display. Pricing starts at $429, but at least a slight price increase seems probable for the next model.Related Roundup: iPhone SEBuyer's Guide: iPhone SE (Don't Buy)Related Forum: iPhoneThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Will the iPad 11 Support Apple Intelligence? New Leak Adds Uncertainty | MacRumors
Will the iPad 11 Support Apple Intelligence? New Leak Adds Uncertainty
Earlier this month, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said the iPad 11 will support Apple Intelligence, but a new leak has added uncertainty to the rumor. According to a private account on social media platform X, with a good track record of sharing iOS-related information, the iPad 11 will be equipped with a chip that has the identifier T8120. That identifier corresponds with the A16 chip, which does not support the Apple Intelligence suite of artificial intelligence features. Existing devices with the A16 chip include the iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 15, and iPhone 15 Plus. We continue to respect the account owner's request to not link to its posts, as they wish to remain anonymous and maintain a low profile. Gurman said to look for the iPad 11 to have the A17 Pro chip and 8GB of RAM, which are currently the minimum iPad specs for Apple Intelligence. The latest iPad mini also has the A17 Pro and 8GB of RAM. However, if the anonymous account is correct, the next entry-level iPad will actually use the A16 chip, which has 6GB of RAM. That means either no Apple Intelligence, or Apple curiously lowers the minimum iPad specs for it. We don't know who is right here: Gurman, or the anonymous account. Both sources have good track records with Apple rumors, with the occasional miss. Or, could both sources be right? We are purely speculating, but Apple could end up offering multiple iPad 11 configurations and price points. Apple will likely announce the iPad 11 by March or April, and no major changes are expected for the device beyond the improved specs. According to Gurman, Apple is also planning to release an updated Magic Keyboard accessory for the iPad 11.Related Roundup: iPadTag: Apple IntelligenceBuyer's Guide: iPad (Caution)Related Forum: iPadThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Samsung Launches Galaxy S25 Smartphones With New AI Features | MacRumors
Samsung Launches Galaxy S25 Smartphones With New AI Features
Samsung today announced the launch of its new Galaxy S25 smartphone lineup, debuting the Galaxy S25, the Galaxy S25+, and its top-of-the-line Galaxy S25 Ultra. The new devices will directly compete with Apple's iPhone 16 lineup, and unsurprisingly, AI is a major focus. Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos. Design Samsung hasn't made major changes to the look of its Galaxy S25 devices, but the S25 Ultra has rounded edges for a more comfortable grip, and Samsung says that it is the slimmest, lightest, and most durable Ultra device to date. It continues to have a 6.9-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, while the Galaxy S25+ offers a 6.7-inch display and the Galaxy S25 offers a 6.2-inch display. The smartphone has a titanium shell and Corning's Gorilla Armor 2 for the front display, which Samsung says is more durable than glass. Gorilla Armor 2 is like Apple's Ceramic Shield, and it is made from a glass-ceramic material that is meant to improve drop protection and cut down on scratches. Updated Galaxy Chip All three of the new smartphones are equipped with a customized Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip that is built on a 3-nanometer process. There is a 37 percent improvement in CPU performance, a 30 percent improvement in GPU performance, and a 40 percent improvement in neural processing and image processing compared to the S24 lineup. Samsung says that the new chip makes it possible to process more AI experiences on-device, mirroring one of Apple's key artificial intelligence aims. Samsung added a Vulkan Engine for improved ray tracing to compete with Apple devices on the mobile gaming front, and there is a 40 percent larger vapor chamber along with thermal improvements for better heat dissipation. Camera Technology There is a new 50-megapixel ultra wide lens for the S25 Ultra, which joins the 200-megapixel wide lens and the 50-megapixel 5x telephoto lens with 100x space zoom and 10x AI-powered "optical quality" zoom. The upgraded ultra wide lens is an S25 Ultra exclusive, and it makes a big improvement to macro shots. 10-bit HDR recording is a default option, which provides "four times richer color expression" for better detail in any lighting condition. Samsung says that the S25 devices are able to analyze movement and time to better reduce noise, providing clearer low-light videos. Samsung mimicked an ‌iPhone 16‌ audio feature, adding Audio Eraser for video. Audio Eraser isolates categories of sounds like voices, music, wind, nature, and crowds to tone down or eliminate excess noise. Apple did something similar with Audio Mix for improving the sound captured in videos. Samsung updated its built-in Filters feature to include new analog filters with a film-like aesthetic for photos and videos, which is akin to Apple's Photographic Styles feature for the ‌iPhone 16‌ models. There is a new Virtual Aperture option for controlling depth-of-field, and Galaxy Log recording is available for precise color grading for professional video production. AI Improvements According to Samsung, the S25 series includes a "true AI companion" that understands the context of user needs and provides personalized AI experiences. Here are the new AI features: Personal Data Engine - Uses on-device learning to provide "highly tailored experiences" such as the Now Brief. Now Brief - There is a Dynamic Island-like "Now Bar" on the that contains a "Now Brief" that guides users through their day. Circle to Search - This existing AI option now supports phone numbers, email, and URLs. You can call, email, or visit a website with a tap. Quick GIFs - Circle to Search works in all kinds of new ways. If you circle a video in the YouTube app, for example, you can create a wallpaper or a GIF, adding the number of frames from the video that you want. Quicker Photo Editing - Samsung's generative editing features provide suggestions on what to remove from a photo, and the actual removal is an improvement over what's available on the iPhone. Actionable searches - The S25 supports interactive search with context-aware suggestions for next steps. When you highlight anything with an Circle to Search, you can get suggested actions. Natural language - Samsung says that the S25 series supports a "breakthrough in natural language understanding." Users can ask for things like a specific photo in the gallery, to adjust settings, and more. Third-party integration - Gemini, which can be activated by pressing the side button, can perform actions between Samsung apps, Google apps, and third-party apps like Spotify. Multi-step commands - Gemini and Galaxy AI work together to complete multiple tasks with a single command. For example, you can ask the S25 to find the next few games for your favorite sports team, and add them to your calendar while also sending a link to a contact. Portrait Studio - The Portrait Studio for the camera has been improved for creating personalized avatars that have more true-to-life facial expressions. One of the main new features is the Now Brief, which can be found in the Now Bar. The Now Bar looks a lot like the ‌iPhone‌'s Dynamic Island, and it displays information from select apps throughout the day. In the morning, it displays a morning brief with sleep scores, top news headlines, weather, and more. Later in the day, it can provide live sports scores, info from Google Maps, timers, and more. It's also interactive, like the ‌Dynamic Island‌. Pricing and How to Buy The Galaxy S25 Ultra is priced starting at $1,300 for 256GB of storage. The S25+ is more affordable at $1,000, and the S25 is priced to compete with the ‌iPhone 16‌ at $800. Samsung also has a new "Galaxy Club" early upgrade program that costs $8.33 per month and eligibility to get a new smartphone every 12 months. Pre-orders are available for the Galaxy S25 smartphones starting today, with customers able to make a purchase from the Samsung website. Buyers who reserved a device already can apply a $50 discount, and Samsung is offering up to $1,250 in credit for an eligible trade-in plus 15 percent off Samsung Care+, a program that provides $0 screen repairs. Note that pre-ordering the Galaxy S25 smartphones from the Samsung website offers customers the chance to get exclusive colors. The Samsung-only colors include Titanium Pinkgold, Titanium Jetblack, and Titanium Jadegreen for Ultra models, and Blueblack, Coralred, and Pinkgold for the S25 and 25+. The Galaxy S25 smartphones will see an official launch on February 7.Tag: SamsungThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

iOS 18.3 Leak Provides Clue About iPhone SE 4, iPad 11, and iPad Air 7 Launch Timing | MacRumors
iOS 18.3 Leak Provides Clue About iPhone SE 4, iPad 11, and iPad Air 7 Launch Timing
New information has surfaced that indicates the rumored iPhone SE 4, iPad 11, and new iPad Air models are getting closer to launching. A private account on social media platform X today revealed that iOS 18.3 or iPadOS 18.3 will be preinstalled on all of those upcoming devices when they are released. It is still unclear exactly when the devices will launch, but this information suggests that Apple will announce them by March or April, before the release of iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4. The account, which has a proven track record for iOS information, leaked the build numbers for these iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3 versions. We continue to respect the account owner's request to not link to the account in our coverage of its posts. The leaked builds:iOS 18.3 for iPhone SE (4th generation) (22D8062) iPadOS 18.3 for iPad 11 and iPad Air (2025) (22D2060) iPadOS 18.3 for iPad 11 and iPad Air (2025) (22D2062)The final iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3 betas were seeded this week, and the software updates are expected to be released next week for existing iPhone and iPad models. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, new 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air models with the M4 chip will be announced earlier than those other devices, so the new MacBook Air models could end up being Apple's first product announcement of 2025. The new iPhone SE is said to have a similar design as the base iPhone 14 or iPhone 16. Rumored features for the device include a 6.1-inch OLED display, Face ID, a USB-C port, a single 48-megapixel rear camera, a newer A-series chip and an increased 8GB of RAM for Apple Intelligence support, and the first Apple-designed 5G modem. The entry-level iPad 11 is rumored to be equipped with the A17 Pro chip and 8GB of RAM, enabling support for Apple Intelligence features. There have been conflicting rumors about whether the next iPad Air models will be equipped with the M3 chip, or the same M4 chip as the latest iPad Pro models. A recent leak pointed towards the device having an M3 chip. There are also new Magic Keyboards expected for the iPad 11 and iPad Air.Related Roundups: iOS 18, iPadOS 18, iPad, iPad Air , iPhone SEBuyer's Guide: iPad (Caution), iPad Air (Neutral), iPhone SE (Don't Buy)Related Forums: iOS 18, iPadOS 18, iPad, iPhoneThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple's Famous '1984' Commercial Aired 41 Years Ago Today | MacRumors
Apple's Famous '1984' Commercial Aired 41 Years Ago Today
Apple's iconic "1984" commercial, which introduced the Macintosh computer to the world, aired 41 years ago today during Super Bowl XVIII. Directed by Ridley Scott, the advertisement was designed to highlight the Macintosh as a groundbreaking computer that offers freedom and individuality in a market dominated by corporate conformity. It drew inspiration from George Orwell's dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, with Apple positioning itself as a liberator from the homogenized control represented by the fictional "Big Brother," a veiled allegory for IBM. The ad concludes with the voiceover stating, "On January 24th, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And you'll see why 1984 won't be like '1984.'" Despite its eventual acclaim, the commercial faced skepticism within Apple. The board of directors expressed concerns about its unconventional approach, and John Sculley, Apple's CEO at the time, even attempted to sell the purchased Super Bowl ad slots. While the commercial aired nationally only once, the Macintosh reportedly achieved $3.5 million in sales within months of its launch.Tag: MacintoshThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Previews New Store in Miami With a Unique Feature on the Roof
Apple today previewed its all-new retail store at the Miami Worldcenter complex. The store opens this Friday, January 24 at 10 a.m. local time.

The store features a combined Genius Bar and Apple Pickup area for technical support and collection of online orders in one place. There is also an Apple Vision Pro demo area. For accessibility, the store offers varied table and seating heights, wheelchair-friendly spaces, and a portable hearing loop for use with hearing aids.

You Can Now Share Status Updates Across Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp | MacRumors
You Can Now Share Status Updates Across Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp
Meta has announced that it's now possible to add WhatsApp to Accounts Center, the company's hub for managing how user information is used across its platforms. The integration means that users can now adjust their settings from one place and share their status updates across Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp. Meta says the option to link WhatsApp to Accounts Center is completely optional and disabled by default, and that WhatsApp messages and calls remain end-to-end encrypted regardless of whether users choose to add the app or not. From the company's news blog: Our approach for WhatsApp is simple: your account is separate from other apps and no one but you can change that. While adding your WhatsApp to Accounts Center is completely optional and off by default, it can help those who want features to work more seamlessly across apps. For example it’ll be easier to reshare updates from your WhatsApp Status to Facebook or Instagram Stories and show your friends what’s happening in your life without having to post multiple times. You’ll also be able to log back in to your WhatsApp account with a single sign-on, so you can get back into your accounts faster and with fewer steps.The WhatsApp integration into Accounts Center is being rolled out globally over the next few months. Once available, users will find the option in their WhatsApp settings or when cross-posting content across Meta's platforms, such as re-sharing a Status to one of its other apps.

Squid Game: Unleashes gets a plethora of content thanks to the release of Squid Games Season 2
We don’t do TV show reviews here, but I feel like Squid Games Season 2 didn't hit as hard as the original did. Maybe because it was released in that lazy week between Christmas and New Yaer.
