Leaker suggests future iPhones could get multispectral cameras
Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station suggests that future iPhones may get multispectral camera sensors. While this could, in theory, provide improved color accuracy and better low-light performance, we shouldn’t get overly excited. The technology has already been seen in a smartphone, but the results weren’t particularly impressive and the technology is mostly used in military and industrial cameras … more…

A new rumor says that Apple is exploring the use of multi-spectral camera technology, which could be a boon for iPhone photography but may also aid Visual Intelligence.Apple is looking to multi-spectral technology for future iPhone camerasThe Visual Intelligence feature in Apple Intelligence keeps improving, whether it's describing what the camera is showing, or it's working from screengrab images. Leaker Digital Chat Station claims that Apple is looking to eventually add multi-spectral camera systems, and one benefit of this would be for Visual Intelligence.Multi-spectral imaging captures image data across different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. All iPhone cameras to date have focused on the red, green, and blue (RGB) elements visible to the human eye. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums

Roblox requiring 9yo kids to submit a video selfie for age verification [U: Global]
Roblox, one of the most popular kids’ apps in the world, is now requiring children as young as nine years old to submit a video selfie for age verification. Update: Following a partial launch in November of last year, the requirement is now being rolled out globally. The company says you will see the update within the next week. While the developer is doing this for good reasons, it adds further weight to the argument that Apple and Google, rather than individual app developers, should be responsible for age verification … more…

Dell, HP, and Lenovo headed in the opposite direction to Apple with new laptop designs
It’s been over a year since we first heard about Apple’s plans for a total redesign of the MacBook Pro, and we’re expecting to see the results later this year. While the Cupertino company is predictably expected to head even further down the path of thinner and sleeker laptops, it’s interesting to note that several PC brands are headed in the opposite direction … more…

Testing for rumored 200MP iPhone camera may not have started yet
Following reports of Apple looking to include a 200MP camera in the iPhone in 2028, a leaker unsurprisingly says there's no prototype being tested yet.The rear cameras of a Pro-tier iPhoneThe most recent of multiple reports about Apple adding a 200MP camera to the iPhone, claimed that it will first appear in a 2028 iPhone. Now regular leaker Digital Chat Station has said on Weibo that Apple is not even at the prototype stage yet.That seems unsurprising given how far off a September 2028 launch is. It's also not startling that the leaker further says Apple's engineers are instead focused on developing the 48MP camera expected in the 2026 iPhone range.

Whether it’s the latest Mac mini M4, the excellent Mac mini M4 Pro, or an older Mac mini model that you want to find on sale, in this article you will find the best prices right now and advice on whether now is a good time to buy and which model offers the best value for money. How we find the best Mac mini deals To select the best Mac mini deals, our editors employ a comprehensive, year-round strategy that combines continuous market monitoring with expert evaluation. Here’s why you can trust the deals Macworld identifies: We check top resellers in the U.S. and the U.K. for the best prices throughout the year, ensuring we always have a finger on the pulse of the best savings. We also check Apple’s refurbished store for even bigger price drops. We use price comparison tools to watch resellers and compare their current discounts so we know who has the best deal right now. We hand-pick deals based on the product’s long-term price history and our own in-depth reviews. We consider the product’s release cycle and whether a significant update is due soon. We also advise on whether a shopping event is likely to happen soon in which you might get an even better deal, or if you might be able to qualify for specific deals. We regularly check prices, but it’s worth checking various retailers in the price comparison tables below, as prices can fluctuate daily. If you want to buy a particular model you will find the best prices right now in the tables below. We also have a guide to the best Apple deals right now on all Apple products, including MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Is now a good time to buy a new Mac mini? Simon Jary / Foundry The current models, featuring the M4 and M4 Pro chips, were released in October 2024. This was a significant update that included a new, more compact design that measures just 5 by 5 inches. The base unified memory (RAM) was upgraded to 16GB, a welcome upgrade from the previous generation’s 8GB. More than a year on, this is still an excellent Mac and a solid investment. While an update to the M5 chips is expected, this is not likely to happen until the spring or summer of 2026. Read more here: What we know about the upcoming Mac mini M5 update. The current discounts right now are ok, though not as large as they were over Black Friday and Cyber Monday. In fact, our advice is to look to the Apple Refurbished Store for bigger savings. The next sale event isn’t expected until the spring of 2026, when Amazon might hold the Spring Deal Days event. After that you can expect to see larger discounts at Amazon’s Prime Days in July and October. Does Apple have sales? The deals rarely come from Apple itself. While Apple will sometimes offer vouchers as an incentive to buy a new Mac (that’s Apple’s usual Black Friday giveaway), the company never discounts prices. Apple does sell refurbished Macs at a lower price though, so that might be something to consider. If you are a student you can take advantage of Apple’s education discounts and save a little money on the full price of Macs (and iPads). And in the summer months Apple gives away Apple Pencils or AirPods with the sale of certain Macs (and iPads) to students in it’s Higher Education offer. Which Mac mini to buy Simon Jary / Foundry The Mac mini lineup offers strong performance across its configurations, making it a great value proposition. M4 Mac mini is a great option for someone looking for a low-cost Mac. Starting at $599/£599, this model is ideal for general use, home offices, and even as a secondary computer integrated into a home entertainment system. It offers the same M4 chip found in more expensive Macs, providing an excellent performance-to-price ratio. The performance and value on offer for just $599/£599 is excellent, but for another $200/£200 you can get twice the storage, which we would recommend if your budget stretches that far. M4 Pro Mac mini is one of our favourite Macs because it It features the same 12-core CPU and 16-core GPU as the M4 Pro MacBook Pro at a significantly lower price point. It is perfect for professionals on a budget and a great choice for demanding tasks like video editing and 3D software. The M4 Pro model provides a powerful and affordable desktop solution. Factors to consider before buying a Mac mini Apple When purchasing a Mac mini, it’s crucial to choose the right specifications, as the unified memory (RAM) and internal storage cannot be upgraded later. Memory (RAM): The base 16GB is sufficient for everyday tasks like browsing and email. However, if your workflow involves demanding applications like editing large videos or training AI models, you should configure your Mac mini with at least 24GB of memory. Storage (SSD): While you can supplement internal storage with external drives, it’s wise to consider your future needs. Apple charges a premium for storage upgrades, so carefully evaluate how much space you’ll require for applications and files. We recommend spending a bit more to get 512GB if you can afford to. Also consider whether iCloud storage might be sufficient for your needs. You could get 2TB iCloud Storage for $9.99/£8.99 a month, for example. Another consideration for all Mac mini models is that you will need to provide your own display, keyboard, and mouse – indeed you will need a wireless or USB-C mouse before you can set the new Mac up – but these can be purchased on a budget too. Take a look at our top recommendations in each category to find one that matches your budget. Best Mac Monitors Best Mac mice Best Mac keyboards Best deals at Apple Refurbished Store One of the best places to look for Mac mini deals all year round is the Apple Refurbished Store. There, you’ll find discounts on Mac mini that have been returned to Apple for various reasons, and then completely revamped for resale. If you buy a refurbished Mac mini from Apple it will come with a one-year warranty so Apple may fix or replace it for free should anything happen to it in that first year. In the U.S.: Right now there is a Mac mini M4 Pro available for $1,189, which is $210 off the usual price of $1,399. Get a refurbished Mac at Apple's refurbished store (U.S.) In the U.K.: You can get a Mac mini M4 Pro for £1,189, £210 off the usual price of £1,399.

Just keep in mind that the older Mac mini had lass RAM as standard – 8GB rather than 16GB. We think that 8GB RAM should be avoided if possible. Where to buy the Mac mini Mac mini buyers in the U.S. can check out the following stores: Apple Amazon Best Buy BH Photo Video Costco If you’re based in the U.K. you can pick up a Mac mini from the following retailers: Apple Amazon Argos Currys John Lewis Very Apple has a number of Apple Premium Resellers in the UK who stock Macs and offer other services: KRCS Insight iStore Select Western Computer Jigsaw You might also be able to trade in your old Mac to get some money off your new purchase.

CES 2026: The best Mac and iPhone accessories Apple fans need to see
Macworld Every start of the year in Las Vegas, the tech world queues up for monorails, shuttles, and taxis for the opportunity to get a look at what’s on the horizon. CES isn’t just a trade show; it’s a launching pad for the tech community and sets the tone for what’s to come the rest of the year. And even though Apple doesn’t attend, there are lots of accessories and gadgets made just for iPhones and Macs. CES 2026 has the usual crazy stuff on show: smart cat food bowls that monitor your pet’s facial expressions, smart Lego bricks with lighs and sound, robot phones, and the usual array of smart appliances and robot servants. Trying not to be distracted by the AI robots, here are the best new Mac, iPhone, and iPad-friendly accessory products announced at this year’s CES. Aukey MagFusion DeskHive 5X Pro – Top-end compact charging cube Auckey Charging your Apple devices is regarded by many as a necessary chore, but not me—I love a new charger. Bear with me. Aukey wowed us last year with its MagFusion range, and its latest MagFusion DeskHive 5X Pro looks like it can consolidate most of your power needs into its 3.76 x 3.76 x 3.07 inch (9.6 x 9.6 x 7.8cm) integrated hub stand. The sleek, space-saving yet powerful 5-in-1 desktop charging station has integrated high-output wired charging, Qi2 25W wireless charging, intelligent cable management, and a real-time power display to monitor 200W of simultaneous output. It features four wired outputs, including two retractable 30-inch USB-C cables plus 140W PD 3.1 USB-C and USB-A ports. The Qi2 25W magnetic wireless charging pad can be angled between 0–65 degrees via its aluminum-alloy hinge. Aukey says the MagFusion DeskHive 5X Pro will be available in the second quarter of 2026 with an MSRP of $150. Aukey also showed off an upgraded Qi2 25W edition of its MagFusion Z Plus foldable 3-in-1 charger, and the MagFusion Reel 10000, a multifunctional Qi2 25W 10K wireless power bank featuring a retractable USB-C cable, adjustable wireless charging stand, and digital display for power and battery status. Satechi Thunderbolt 5 CubeDock – Mac mini-mimic dock with SSD enclosure Satechi Speaking of compact cubes, if you looked quickly at Satechi’s Thunderbolt 5 CubeDock with SSD Enclosure, you might have thought Apple had introduced a new M5 Mac mini. But no, this is an Apple-inspired docking station for your Mac. As any self-respecting Thunderbolt 5 docking station should offer, the CubeDock can deliver up to 120Gbps bandwidth, display support and 140W charging. On top of that, or rather inside the 5 x 5 x 2-inch shell, is an integrated NVMe SSD bay (PCIe 4×4) that supports up to 8TB at 6000MBps. The solid aluminum dock boasts a full complement of three Thunderbolt 5 downstream ports, plus 10Gbps USB-C and USB-A, UHS-II SD/microSD, and speedy 2.5Gb Ethernet. The 180W CubeDock can fast-charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro at 140W plus an iPhone or iPad at another 30W. It supports up to two 6K/60Hz external displays on M3/M4/M5 Macs. Satechi’s Thunderbolt 5 CubeDockTM is available for preorder on Satechi.net for $400 and will begin shipping this quarter. Satechi is offering 20 percent off all CES-launched products with code CES2026 on Satechi.net throughout January. While you’re at it, you can also grab a new Thunderbolt 5 Pro Cable made with reinforced aluminum housings and a premium braided jacket. ESR 25W MagSlim Magnetic Power Bank – Slimmest-ever 10K power bank ESR Wireless power banks keep getting faster and slimmer, and at CES, ESR introduced its new 10K MagSlim Power Bank, which it claims to be the thinnest Qi2 25W power bank on the market. Sleek and available in five colors, including one especially for the Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro models. The 10K MagSlim measures 4 x 2.75 x 0.54 inches (10.2 x 7 x 1.38cm), with the standout number there being the last. Half an inch thick/thin is certainly the slimmest 10K magnetic power bank we’ve seen. It weighs 185g. And it’s fast: iPhones from the 16 and 17 series can wirelessly charge at up to 25W. Additionally, the spare USB-C port can deliver a 30W wired charge. Older iPhones will charge at a more pedestrian 15W. As with many products that wow us at CES, it won’t actually appear till much later in the year—in this case, ESR suggests it won’t ship until August. BMX SolidSafe Air Power Bank – Slimmest-ever 5K power bank BMX Another super-slim power bank introduced at CES is the 5K BMX SolidSafe Air power bank, which is just 0.68cm thin but still packs a kickstand and full-color LCD. It will be available in a range of titanium-copper colors to match the newest iPhones Pro models. It’s not at the fastest 25W level, but the Qi2 power bank will still wirelessly charge at 15W. It’s a semi-solid-state power bank, so it should last longer than standard liquid-electrolyte battery packs. The SolidSafe Air, also including 10K power banks, will become available in Q2 from BMX. As well as the SolidSafe Air, BMX also showcases GaNsta AI-powered GaN chargers and ByteSize micro SSDs. Anker 45W Nano Charger – Wall charger with 180° foldable plug prongs Anker A charger with a full LCD display? Sure, why not? The tiny 45W Anker Nano Charger boasts a smart interactive display that shows real-time charging status (charging power, temperature, and phone battery level) and an adorable little face. That’s all very useful, but what we love about this charger is its dual 70-degree or 180-degree foldable plug prongs, which means it should fit in any socket as it suits you, fitting tight wall socket spaces in the home or office (behind cupboards, or in bed corners and sofa gaps), while always showing its screen. In addition, the Nano Charger identifies your model of iPhone model to deliver up to 45W for a tailored charging solution, with an auto-matching three-stage power delivery. Anker claims the one-tap TÜV-certified Care Mode protects battery health by reducing phone battery temperature by 9°F compared to other 45W chargers during charging. At 45W, it’s even powerful enough to charge the MacBook Air. The Anker Nano Charger will be available later this month at an MSRP of $40. Anker is busy at CES 2026, premiering not just the Nano Charger but a foldable 3-in-1 Prime Wireless Charging Station, and a 10-in-1 Nano Power Strip with two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, and six AC outlets for a clutter-free desk setup. Moreover, its Eufy smart-home spin-off is showing the Robot Vacuum Omni S2, Video Doorbell S4, and Smart Lock E40. Plugable TBT-UDH2 – First Thunderbolt 5 dock with dual HDMI 2.1 Plugable Plugable, the company already behind Macworld’s current best value Thunderbolt 5 dock, has another TB5 dock to shout about at CES 2026.: The new TBT-UDH2 Thunderbolt 5 Dock, which it claims is the only one to have dual HDMI 2.1 ports. The TBT-UDH2 is a 16-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 docking station that can lie flat or sit upright. It has just the one downstream Thunderbolt 5 port (140W), but an impressive five USB-C, one of which can output at up to 30W, as can the spare TB5 port. Legacy devices are supported with three USB-A ports. As we now see with most modern docking stations, networking is looking to the future with 2.5Gb Ethernet—backwards compatible with Gigabit Ethernet. The SD and microSD slots are both rated at UHS-II. The TBT-UDH2 is expected to launch in Q2 2026 in North America for $350. Ugreen NASync iDX6011 Pro – Adding Local AI to NAS Ugreen Best known for its chargers and docking stations, Ugreen made a big splash into the Network Assisted Storage market last year with its NASync range of NAS drives, which are more secure and more stable than standard external hard drives at a higher capacity and a lower long-term price point than Cloud storage. It may look like something from a data center, but it could be the new hub for all your home media. Announcing two new high-end models at CES 2026, the company is pushing its own implementation of on-device intelligence with the NASync iDX Series that uses local AI to help users search and interact with their files, quickly finding moments, faces, objects, documents, and memories. The AI can auto-organize photo libraries, enable offline AI chats, and transcribe or speedily summarize voice notes. The series also works with ChatGPT and DeepSeek. Both the iDX6011 and iDX6011 Pro boast dual-10GbE ports plus two 40Gbps Thunderbolt 4 ports for fast external storage and peripherals. Each aluminum-alloy unit supports up to six SATA drives and two NVMe SSDs, enabling total storage of 196TB, which should allow you oodles of archiving as well as easy-access media. Ugreen is already taking preorders with special pricing for the iDX6011 ($999 for 32GB) and the iDX6011 Pro ($1,599 for 64GB memory and a faster processor). Bluetti Elite 100 V2 Bio-Based Edition – Greening the power station Bluetti We’ve all heard about Green Power, and a portable power station is certainly cleaner than a gas-guzzling, deadly carbon monoxide-fuming generator. But the batteries themselves are something of an environmental conundrum, and that includes portable power stations that come in handy for camping, tailgates, and emergencies. Power station supremo Bluetti addresses this with its Bio-Based Elite 100 V2 Edition, which features the first chassis crafted from bio-circular plastics. Developed with Covestro, the ISCC PLUS-certified blend utilizes renewable agricultural residues that Bluetti claims will slash carbon emissions by 25 percent. And we certainly applaud that initiative. In terms of raw power, the Elite 100 V2 has a 1,024Wh battery capacity and a maximum 1,800W output to be shared by its 11 ports, including four AC sockets. Further green points are gained by its 1,000W solar input potential when hooked up to panels.

We might have just got our first sighting of the iPhone Fold screen
Macworld It’s early January, and in the tech world that means one thing: The Consumer Electronics Show. At this time of year, tech companies, fans, and journalists converge on Las Vegas for a showcase of the very latest innovations, and in 2026, that surprisingly included a glimpse of Apple’s most highly anticipated new product. To be clear, Apple isn’t in attendance at the show. But rival Samsung, or more specifically its subsidiary Samsung Display, is in Las Vegas this week, and it just revealed a foldable screen that will be of great interest to Apple fans. As reported by the Samsung-focused news site SamMobile, the new offering is the company’s first crease-free foldable panel. Product managers had set up a comparison between the new screen and that of the (widely admired) Galaxy Z Fold 7, and from photography, it’s easy to see the difference that having no crease makes to the viewing experience. Samsung displayed it next to a standard foldable screen, and the difference is massive. This development is key to the progress of the foldables sector. If makers of folding phones are to achieve mainstream acceptance, they need to accomplish two things: to build a hinge that customers believe is pretty much indestructible, and to kill the crease. And it looks like Samsung Display just solved the second problem. Unsurprisingly, foldable products by other subsidiaries of Samsung Electronics will be in line to benefit from this development, and SamMobile notes that the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8 is likely to use the new creaseless panel. But Samsung Display is also a major supplier to another company by the name of Apple Inc., and that could prove significant later this year. Apple has reportedly been working to eliminate the crease for its first folding iPhone, and judging by the looks of this prototype, its years of work have paid off. At long, long last, we’re expecting Apple to unveil its first foldable at some point in 2026. The iPhone Fold has been delayed for so long because Apple wants to get this product right on its first swing, which is where those two missions I mentioned earlier come in. The device’s hinge will be made of ultra-durable metallic glass marketed as LiquidMetal. And the screen will be crease-free thanks to the work of Samsung Display. There’s a decent chance, in other words, that visitors to this year’s CES–and you–have just seen the screen of the iPhone Fold.

Best Lightning Cables for iPhone 2026
Macworld Lightning ports were once ubiquitous across Apple’s iPhone and iPad line-up. Apple has switched fully to USB-C ports for its iPads, and from the iPhone 15 family onwards, the Lightning port is now replaced by USB-C. But for iPhone versions 5 to 14, plus older AirPods cases and trusty Apple mice and keyboards, Lightning is the port you need a cable for. iPhone 14 and older: Lightning iPhone 15 and later: USB-C For iPhones and older iPads that use the Lightning port, you can buy a cable that has a Lightning connector at one end and either full-size rectangular USB-A or the smaller, reversible USB-C connector at the other to plug into a charger. Using a USB-C charger rather than one with older USB-A allows for fast charging. Here we pick the best Lightning charging cables, including some that work with both older Lightning devices and newer USB-C models. If you still have a charger with a USB-A port, consider upgrading to a USB-C charger as iPhone fast-charging only works with a USB-C charger. The best setup for iPhones before the iPhone 15 is a USB-C charger and a USB-C to Lightning cable. Check out our tests for the best USB-C chargers for iPhone. As most Apple users will agree, one phone-charging cable is never enough. Whether it gets damaged through wear and tear, or it is misplaced, borrowed or stolen, you can guarantee it is never there when you need it. Third-party Apple-certified cables are more expensive than many online alternatives but we highly recommend you buy a certified cable, because cheap third-party alternatives have a nasty habit of suddenly deciding to stop working with your device. Moreover, they can be dangerous—here are some good reasons why you shouldn’t buy a cheap Lightning cable. There are exceptions, however, so a few of the cables recommended below have been tested by us but don’t have the MFi stamp of approval. These are clearly marked. If you’re forever buying new cables, you might also want to consider a magnetic wireless charger, with traditional docks, stands and pads as well as portable wireless chargers with built-in batteries now available. All current-generation iPhones support wireless charging, but do note that this is a slower process than charging via a cable (depending on your cable and adapter).

Best Lightning cables for iPhone and iPad in 2026 Apple Lightning to USB-C Cable – Apple's own USB-C to Lightning Cable Pros Made by Apple Fast charge Cons Expensive Price When Reviewed: From $19 Best Prices Today: Retailer Price $13.47 View Deal $19 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket USB type: USB-C Length: 1m or 2m MFi: Certified Fast charge: Yes To unlock Fast Charge on your iPhone you need a USB-C to Lightning cable (and at least an 18W adaptor). Apple’s variant might be one of the more expensive examples, but it’s also the most trustworthy, hailing direct from Apple itself. That said, Apple’s non-braided cables have a reputation for fraying and losing their pristine white color over time. The standard cable that ships with most Apple products is the 1m cable ($19 /£19), but it’s also available at 2m ($29/ £29). Apple Lightning to USB-A cable – Apple's own USB-A to Lightning Cable Pros Made by Apple Cons No Fast Charge Expensive Price When Reviewed: $19 Best Prices Today: Retailer Price $12.99 View Deal $19 View Deal $19 View Deal $19.99 View Deal $27.98 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide View more prices Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket USB type: USB-A Length: 0.5m, 1m or 2m MFi: Certified Fast charge: No Not as iconic as the white earbuds, but white and useful nonetheless, you might want to buy your Lightning cable direct from Apple. As a USB-A cable it won’t support Apple’s Fast Charge on iPhone, but it’s pretty handy none the less if you own a charger with the old rectangular USB-A port. We still recommend you upgrade to a USB-C charger and USB-C to Lightning cable. It is available at half or double the standard 1m length (0.5m is the same price; 2m is a little extra). Either way, it’s still expensive compared to some third-party Lightning cables. Do note that these Apple white cables often tend to go a nice shade of murky gray pretty fast, depending on your usage. Anker 331 USB-C to Lightning Cable – Best budget USB-C to Lightning cable Pros Super tough Affordable Fast Charge Color options Price When Reviewed: $16.99 Best Prices Today: Retailer Price $15.99 View Deal Anker $16.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket USB type: USB-C Length: 1m or 2m MFi: Certified Fast charge: Yes Anker is one of the most trusted Apple-accessory brands, and it offers a wide range of USB to Lightning cables. The Apple-certified, nylon-braided Anker 331 USB-C to Lightning Cable is its budget offering but is still more robust than Apple’s cables and available in a wider choice of lengths (from 1m to 2m) and colors (Black, Silver, Blue and Red). Anker claims that the 331 cable can withstand up to 12,000 bends. The Anker 762 USB-C to Lightning Cable ups that claim to 35,000 bends. Remember that you need a USB-C to Lightning cable like this one for fast-charging iPhones older than the iPhone 15. Amazon Basics USB-C to Lightning Cable – Best basic USB-C to Lightning cable Pros Affordable USB-C for Fast Charge Multiple colors and lengths Price When Reviewed: $11.99 Best Prices Today: Retailer Price $8.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket USB type: USB-C Length: 0.3m, 0.9m or 1.8m MFi: Certified Fast charge: Yes Products in the AmazonBasics range just work and they’re very cheap to boot. Cheap does not mean bad though—Basics’ 1.82m cable is cheap, and if you can find the shorter variant in stock it’s even cheaper. Amazon does note that it works with ‘nearly all cases’, so you may want to double-check, but we doubt this would be a problem for most accessories. It’s available in white or black and red, in most regions. AmazonBasics Lightning cable – Best basic USB-A to Lightning cable Pros Affordable Multiple colors and lengths Cons No Fast Charge Price When Reviewed: $11.69 Best Prices Today: Retailer Price $8.96 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket USB type: USB-A Length: 0.3m, 0.9m or 1.8m MFi: Certified Fast charge: No For older chargers, this is a decent affordable USB-A to Lightning cable available in various lengths and in black or white. It’s USB-A so not a Fast Charge option like the USB-C version.

It’s available in white, black or yellow. InCharge XL 1ft (30cm): $29.99 / £29.99 InCharge XL 6.6ft (2m): $34.90 / £34.90 InCharge XL 10ft (3m): $39.99 / £39.99 InCharge XL Pocket 0.5ft (15cm): $29.99 / £29.99 Read our full Rolling Square inCharge XL 6-in-1 charging cable review Native Union Belt Cable Duo USB-C to Lightning and USB-C Cable Pros USB-C or Lightning connectors Robust cable Color options Price When Reviewed: $39.95 Best Prices Today: Retailer Price $19.99 View Deal $31.98 View Deal $39.95 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket USB type: USB-C Length: 15cm, 30cm, 2m or 3m MFi: Certified Fast charge: Yes Five foot long, braided for toughness and available in snazzy shades of gray, green and yellow, the Native Union Belt Cable Duo gives you the choice between a USB-C and Lightning connector at one end of the cable. This is a great solution for people with a mixture of device connectors. It can charge at up to 60W, so is even capable for charging your MacBook. StarTech.com USB-C to Lightning Cable – Best coiled USB-C to Lightning cable Pros Compact and tangle-free USB-C for Fast Charge Price When Reviewed: $25 Best Prices Today: Retailer Price $19.98 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket USB type: USB-C Length: 0.5 m or 1m MFi: Certified Fast charge: Yes One way to avoid cable snakes is a coiled cable that takes up less space on your desk or wherever you lay it. This coiled Lightning cable from StarTech.com is available with either USB-A or USB-C but USB-C to Lightning is better for Fast Charge, and in either 50cm/20in or 1m/3ft lengths. The shorter cable extends to 50cm/20in and contracts to 32cm/12.5in. The longer version extends to 1m/3.3ft (1m) and contracts to 38cm/1.2ft. StarTech.com USB to Lightning Cable – Best coiled USB-A to Lightning cable Pros Compact and tangle-free Cons No Fast Charge Price When Reviewed: $25.99 Best Prices Today: Retailer Price $22.29 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket USB type: USB-A Length: 0.5 m or 1m MFi: Certified Fast charge: No This coiled Lightning cable with USB-A at the other end fits older chargers but doesn’t support Apple’s Fast Charge like the USB-C version does. Like its more modern sibling, it is available in either 50cm/20in or 1m/3ft lengths. The shorter cable extends to 50cm/20in and contracts to 32cm/12.5in. The longer version extends to 1m/3.3ft (1m) and contracts to 38cm/1.2ft. Bawanfa Extra Long Lightning Cable – Best long Lightning cable Pros Long Color options Price When Reviewed: $17.99 Best Prices Today: Retailer Price $17.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket USB type: USB-A Length: 6m (20ft) MFi: Certified Fast charge: Yes This Lightning cable is an amazing 6m (that’s 20-feet) long. If the plug outlet in your room of choice is further away from your sprawling place of choice then this is the answer. It’s also handy for passing round in a car. The thicker than Apple cable is more durable and should last you a while. If you really must stick with a slower USB-A charger, there is a 20-foot USB-A to Lightning cable version. Anker New Nylon USB-C to Lightning Cable Pros Short and tangle-free Price When Reviewed: $16.99 Best Prices Today: Retailer Price $16.99 View Deal $16.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket USB type: USB-C Length: 0.3m (1ft) MFi: Certified Fast charge: Yes You know what? Sometimes you just need a short cable, rather than a skinny python snaking over your desk. One of the best short Lightning cables we’ve seen is from Anker, it’s just a foot long, and it’s MFI certified. CableCreation Short iPhone Charger Cable – Best short USB-A to Lightning cable Pros Short Color options Cons No Fast Charge Price When Reviewed: $16 Best Prices Today: Retailer Price $13.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket USB type: USB-A Length: 15cm MFi: Certified Fast charge: No This USB-A to Lightning cable from CableCreation is MFI certified but won’t support iPhone Fast Charge as it has USB-A at the other end. It’s 15cm (6in) long, and available in either black-&-white, black or rose gold depending on which Amazon store you are buying from.  Wave Bio-Based Lightning Charging Cable – Best eco-friendly Lightning cable Pros USB-C for Fast Charge Eco friendly Price When Reviewed: $13 Best Prices Today: Retailer Price Wave $12 View Deal Check Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket USB type: USB-C Length: 1m MFi: No Fast charge: Yes The exterior of these USB-C to Lightning cables is constructed using plant-based materials, thus reducing a reliance on petroleum-based plastics like thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). The packaging is recyclable (the bio-based cables are secured by a recyclable paper sleeve) and even the shipping is carbon neutral, offsetting the CO2 produced. Shipping outside the UK is an extra US$6.30 or €6, but if you value the planet that’s not a lot to pay. Wave also makes a USB-A to Lightning version of the cable, but remember that this won’t support fast charging like the USB-C to Lightning cable. The cables are not yet MFi certified but could be at a later date, depending on demand. RapidX Lightning Charging Cable Stand – Best Cable/Stand hybrid Pros Acts as stand Cons Landscape mode only for stand Price When Reviewed: $19.99 Best Prices Today: Retailer Price RapidX $19.99 View Deal Check Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket USB type: USB-C Length: 1.2m MFi: No Fast charge: Yes Most cables just do one or two things: charging and data transfer or both. The RapidX 2-in-1 Lightning Charging Cable can also be used as a phone stand—great for streaming movies or making FaceTime calls while charging your phone. The stand works in landscape mode only. The 4-foot braided nylon jacket is made from recycled materials, such as fishing nets and textile production waste. It has USB-C on one end and Lightning on the other, USB-A vs USB-C: Which Lightning cable should I buy? Fast Charge on an iPhone (available on iPhone 8 and above) can be achieved only when using a USB-C to Lightning cable, and pairing it with either an 18W or higher charger or a third-party model that supports Power Delivery. See our roundup of the best iPhone chargers. A USB-A to Lightning cable will charge your iPhone more slowly, regardless of what adapter it is paired with. It is true that there are also some differences between USB-C and USB-A when it comes to data-transfer speeds, with only USB-C able to accommodate the latest USB4 standard, which can achieve Thunderbolt 3/4-equivalent speeds of 40Gbps. Regardless, Lightning can carry only 480Mbps (akin to USB 2.0 speed), making this a moot point for this batch of cables. Thunderbolt 5 is backwards compatible with USB-C and can handle data transfers of up to 120Gbps. Identical in design to Thunderbolt, USB-C is a conveniently reversible and future-proofed connector. But USB-A remains commonplace and, for that, it is still sought after by iPhone and iPad users.

Why UGREEN’s new iDX NAS is more than storage—and superior to the Cloud
Macworld UGREEN’s presence at CES 2026 wasn’t just about adding another pair of NAS boxes to an already crowded market. With the introduction of the NASync iDX6011 and iDX6011 Pro, the company made a clear argument: network-attached storage is overdue for a rethink. In UGREEN’s vision, a NAS shouldn’t merely hold files—it should understand them, help you work with them, and do so without pushing your most personal data into the cloud. UGREEN Rethinking what a NAS is for Traditional NAS systems excel at one thing: storage. They back up data, share files across a network, and little else. As data volumes grow and workflows become more complex, that passive role feels increasingly limited. UGREEN’s new NASync iDX Series aims to change that dynamic by embedding intelligence directly into the device, turning local storage into something closer to an active data partner. Both the iDX6011 and iDX6011 Pro are built around Intel® Core™ Ultra processors and paired with up to 64GB of LPDDR5x memory. On paper, the specs are immediately attention-grabbing: dual 10GbE Ethernet ports capable of 20Gbps via aggregation, dual Thunderbolt™ 4 ports offering up to 40Gbps, and storage scalability up to 196TB through six SATA bays and two NVMe slots. This is clearly hardware designed not just for backups, but for demanding creative, professional, and multi-user environments. UGREEN Local AI, not Cloud dependence What truly sets the iDX Series apart, however, is UGREEN’s insistence on fully local AI. At a time when “AI features” often translate to cloud subscriptions and opaque data pipelines, UGREEN is taking a different approach. Its Local AI Engine runs entirely on the NAS itself, meaning files never need to leave the device to be analyzed, searched, or summarized. The most immediately useful expression of this is Universal Search. Instead of hunting through folders, users can describe what they’re looking for in natural language—an idea, a scene, or even a vague memory—and the system retrieves relevant files across documents, photos, videos, and app data. It’s a small shift in interface, but a big one in daily usability. UGREEN’s Uliya AI Chat builds on this foundation. Acting as an offline large language model, it allows users to ask questions about their stored content, summarize lengthy documents, or generate notes from local files. Because everything runs on-device, the experience is both fast and private, positioning the NAS as a personal knowledge base rather than a simple file server. Optionally you can access popular third-party cloud-based AI models such as ChatGPT and Gemini directly through your NAS. UGREEN Smarter media and documents For users with large photo and media libraries, the AI Album feature is likely to be a standout. The system can recognize faces, animals, objects, scenes, and text within images, automatically organizing and tagging content. Typing a phrase like “girl riding a bike” or “meeting notes on whiteboard” surfaces the right images instantly. Voice Memos extend similar intelligence to audio files, enabling on-device transcription, translation, and summarization—useful for meetings, interviews, or lectures. Behind the scenes, AI File Organization ensures that uploads don’t become a digital junk drawer. Files are automatically sorted by type, date, and name as soon as they’re added, keeping large libraries manageable without constant manual effort. Two models, two audiences UGREEN is careful to differentiate the two models in the lineup. The NASync iDX6011 uses an Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 125H processor and is available with either 32GB or 64GB of memory. It’s positioned for creators, families, and prosumers who want strong performance, intelligent organization, and private AI without venturing into workstation territory. The NASync iDX6011 Pro is aimed squarely at power users and studios. Powered by the more capable Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 255H and equipped with 64GB of memory as standard, it adds an OCuLink port for external GPU connectivity. This opens the door to GPU-accelerated AI workloads, rendering, and other compute-heavy tasks, effectively turning the NAS into a hybrid storage and processing hub. A built-in smart touch display provides at-a-glance visibility into system status, resource usage, and network activity. UGREEN Performance meets practical design UGREEN hasn’t ignored the fundamentals. Multiple RAID options, pro-grade encryption, real-time virus scanning, and granular permission controls underline a serious approach to security. The aluminum-alloy chassis, magnetic dust filter, and low-noise hydraulic fan result in a system that looks premium and runs quietly, even under load. A three-year warranty and five years of security updates add confidence for long-term deployment. UGREEN Pricing and the bigger picture Pre-orders are already open, with aggressive early pricing: the iDX6011 starts at $999 for the 32GB version and $1,199 for 64GB, while the iDX6011 Pro comes in at $1,559. A Kickstarter launch is planned for March. Taken together, the NASync iDX6011 and iDX6011 Pro feel less like incremental updates and more like a statement of intent. UGREEN is betting that the future of NAS lies not in bigger drives alone, but in smarter, privacy-first systems that actively help users understand and use their data. If that vision resonates, the iDX Series could mark a meaningful turning point for the category.

Prior to version 1.7.1, an extension execution path in Faction's extension framework permits untrusted extension code to execute arbitrary system commands on the server when a lifecycle hook is invoked, resulting in remote code execution (RCE) on the host running Faction. Due to a missing authentication check on the /portal/AppStoreDashboard endpoint, an attacker can access the extension management UI and upload a malicious extension without any authentication, making this vulnerability exploitable by unauthenticated users. This issue has been patched in version 1.7.1. 2025-11-26 9.7 CVE-2025-66022 https://github.com/factionsecurity/faction/security/advisories/GHSA-xr72-2g43-586whttps://github.com/factionsecurity/faction/commit/c6389f1c76175b7c1c68d1a87b389311b16c62c3  fugue-project--fugue Fugue is a unified interface for distributed computing that lets users execute Python, Pandas, and SQL code on Spark, Dask, and Ray with minimal rewrites. In version 0.9.2 and prior, there is a remote code execution vulnerability by pickle deserialization via FlaskRPCServer. The Fugue framework implements an RPC server system for distributed computing operations. In the core functionality of the RPC server implementation, I found that the _decode() function in fugue/rpc/flask.py directly uses cloudpickle.loads() to deserialize data without any sanitization. This creates a remote code execution vulnerability when malicious pickle data is processed by the RPC server. The vulnerability exists in the RPC communication mechanism where the client can send arbitrary serialized Python objects that will be deserialized on the server side, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code on the victim's machine. This issue has been patched via commit 6f25326. 2025-11-25 8.8 CVE-2025-62703 https://github.com/fugue-project/fugue/security/advisories/GHSA-xv5p-fjw5-vrj6https://github.com/fugue-project/fugue/commit/6f25326779fd1f528198098d6287c5a863176fc0  geoserver--geoserver GeoServer is an open source server that allows users to share and edit geospatial data.
