Best iMac deals this month
Macworld A year after Apple updated the iMac with an M3 chip Apple switched in an M4 chip and doubled the memory. The 2024 iMac was announced in October 2024 and went on sale on November 8. Read about the 2024 iMac and read our review: M4 iMac review. With the arrival of the M4 iMac the M3 iMac will no longer be sold by Apple, but you may find those older models available at a discount from resellers while they try to sell off old stock. Note that outside the U.S. the prices have dropped on the iMac range, so the savings may not be as good as they appear to be. Not that you need to pay full price. The team here at Macworld is constantly looking out for the best iMac deals from around the web. We track the biggest and best deals from U.S. and U.K. retailers and list them all right here in this article. So you can always find the best price for an iMac. If the 24-inch display on the iMac isn’t big enough for you you may be interested to learn that although Apple discontinued the 27-inch iMac in March 2022, it is rumored that a new iMac Pro could be in the pipeline. If that is the Mac you are interested in you may be in for a long wait though, with the larger iMac not expected until late 2024 or 2025. Alternatively, you may be interested in Apple’s high-power desktop, the Mac Studio, see our Best Mac Studio deals. The Mac mini with M4 Pro is another good option, see Best Mac mini deals. You might also want to look through our round-up of the best MacBook Pro deals and MacBook Air deals. Make sure you check out our complete round-up of the best Apple deals we’ve seen too.

Some Mac retailers offer great discounts on Apple products and Apple accessories, so you should be able to save a few hundred pounds off some iMac configurations. Beware, though. The Mac listed by the reseller may be an older model than the one Apple currently sells. We’ve seen resellers advertising Macs with money off based on the price they were previously sold at by Apple, even after Apple has started selling a newer Mac at the same price – so the deal often looks better than it actually is. So be careful to check the age and spec of the machine being sold, and don’t automatically assume that it’s current. To get an idea of what the old model should be worth, take a look at Apple’s refurbished store to see what Apple is selling the older version for (and remember that buying from Apple, even if it’s refurbished, will mean you get a full year’s warranty). And for another way to save money on a new Apple product read about how you can trade in old products at Apple and other resellers and get money off. Read: How Apple trade-in works and saves you money. We regularly see Mac-related deals from the following U.K. and U.S. retailers: U.S. Want to buy a iMac from Apple?

The best AirPods deals this month
Macworld Apple’s AirPods wireless headphones offer an iconic look, exceptional convenience, and strong audio quality. They come with a premium price tag, however, so it’s important to shop around for a good deal… or find a bunch of tech experts who’ll do this for you. That’s where we come in. In this article, we round up the best AirPods discounts and deals to help you save money. We’ve got the best prices on the 4th-gen AirPods, the 2nd-gen AirPods Pro with USB-C, and the premium AirPods Max over-ear headphones which Apple has updated to use USC-C rather than Lightning. Below you will find links to the best deals available right now. You’ll find more detailed advice and price comparisons for each model further down. Before you buy note the following: AirPods 4 and AirPods 4 with ANC were introduced in September 2024. The AirPods 4 start at $129/£129 with the ANC model costing $179/£179. With this in mind do not buy the AirPods 3 or AirPods 2 if they aren’t considerably cheaper than $129/£129. The AirPods Max with Lightning were discontinued in favor of the AirPods Max with USB-C. In this case if you do see the older models on sale they are worth buying at a good discount. The AirPods Pro are often on sale right now as they are likely to be updated later in 2025. They are still a good purchase and recently gained the ability to work as hearing aid thanks to a software updated. U.S. Amazon, AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C case): $170 ($79 off, MSRP $249) Amazon, AirPods 4: $119 ($10 off, MSRP $129) Amazon, AirPods 4 with ANC: $169 ($10 off, MSRP $179) Amazon, AirPods Max (USB-C): $529 ($20 off, MSRP $549) Amazon, AirPods Max (Lightning): $469 ($80 off; MSRP $549 – Clearance) U.K. Argos, AirPod Max, Lightning, 2020: £429 (£70 off, RRP was £499 – Clearance) Amazon, AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C case): £170 (£59 off, MSRP £229) You can check the automated price comparison tables below to see if any retailers have dropped their prices since we last updated this article. How much do AirPods cost? Some changes were announced at Apple’s September 2024 event, so make sure you’re up to date with the latest prices: AirPods Max (2024): $549 / £499 (price dropped from £549 to £499 in September 2023) AirPods Pro with USB-C (2nd gen, 2023): $249 / £229 AirPods 4: $129 / £129 AirPods 4 (with ANC): $179 / £179 Discontinued: 3rd-gen AirPods with Lightning (2021): was $169 / £169 3rd-gen AirPods with MagSafe (2021): was $179 / £179 2nd-gen AirPods (2019): was $129 / £129 You should never pay more than the prices above: we’ve seen unscrupulous retailers claim the MSRP/RRP is higher and work out ‘savings’ based on that. Remember to take delivery and postage fees into account when evaluating deals; we include it in our list of prices but most retailers won’t add it until you’re at the checkout. And watch out for deals that seem too good to be true, but turn out to have no stock. We see this a lot. Good AirPods deals are rare and tend not to last long. If you see one (and you’re sure the supplier is legit: look it up on TrustPilot if you’ve not bought from there before), grab it. Best new AirPods deals Apple sells two sets of basic (non-Pro) AirPods, both introduced at the 2024 Glowtime event: the 4th-gen model with active noise cancellation, and the 4th-gen model without. Best Buy is worth a look for some worthwhile savings in the U.S., while U.K. customers can save a little money across the range. You can buy the 4th-gen AirPods directly from Apple, but you’ll find the best prices elsewhere in the automated tables below. AirPods (4th gen, 2024, with ANC) deals These replace the AirPods (3rd generation) and have a redesigned, smaller USB-C case that works with wireless charging and now has Find My functionality, with a built-in speaker for locating the device. They feature active noise cancellation, previously found only on the AirPods Pro and Max, and sport Apple’s H2 chip, which was introduced in the 2022 AirPods Pro and improves audio quality.

AirPods Pro (2nd gen, 2023, USB-C) deals This is the 2023 version with USB-C charging. You can also use an iPhone 15 to charge the case.

Best AirPods Max (2024, USB-C) deals The AirPods Max haven’t exactly been updated for 2024, beyond a new set of colors and USB-C instead of Lightning. These are still effectively the same as the 2020 models. It may still be possible to buy old models in the original colors for some time so we have included the best prices for the older model in the discontinued section of this article.

Other ways to save: AirPods Bundle deals The best way to get a good price on AirPods may be to bundle them with a phone, although this is mainly an option in the U.K. Phone network Three offers a variety of bundles that include the AirPods. Visit the company’s accessories page to browse the best options for you. Vodafone and O2 aren’t currently bundling the AirPods with their iPhone plans, although O2 sells the 2021 AirPods, the early-2019 AirPods and the 2022 AirPods Pro on their own. Whichever bundle you go for, remember to check if you’re getting the AirPods Pro, the early-2019 AirPods (sometimes called the second gen or AirPods 2) or the new 2021 AirPods (third-gen or AirPods 3). If you’re getting the AirPods Pro, find out if they include the new MagSafe charging case. AirPods buying advice Wondering if a pair of AirPods is right for you? We have a guide to the Best AirPods, and you could read AirPods Pro vs AirPods to find out how the models compare, but let’s quickly discuss the pros and cons. Apple has launched various AirPods versions, several of which are still on sale: 2016: 1st-gen AirPods, discontinued 2019: 2nd-gen AirPods, discontinued 2019: 1st-gen AirPods Pro, discontinued 2021: 3rd-gen AirPods, Lightning and Magsafe variants, discontinued 2022 & 2023: 2nd-gen AirPods Pro, Lightning and USB-C variants 2020 & 2024: AirPods Max All four non-Max models are wireless, sitting in your ears and in theory staying there through snugness of fit alone. The advantages of this are clear–they allow you to go running or work out without worrying about snagging the cables–but they may fall out once you pick up the pace. Our experience, however, is that the AirPods are among the best earbuds around in this regard. The AirPods Pro offer a snugger fit than the others because they have a choice of flexible ear tips, and are actually able to tell you whether you’ve selected the right tip or not. Sound quality is decent but not exceptional on the original and early-2019 models; the 2021 3rd gen AirPods were better, while the AirPods Pro are a step above thanks in part to their better fit and implementation of active noise cancellation. What AirPods consistently do better than non-Apple headphones is coordinate with other Apple products, thanks to the W1 chip (in the 2016 model) and H1 chip (2019 and 2021) which makes pairing with an iPhone a breeze. Battery-wise, most non-Max AirPods will last around five hours, but that’s not the end of the story: they come with a little charging case with its own larger battery, so you can pop them back in for a quick charge. The case should offer another 24 hours (give or take) before it’ll require charging. The 2021 AirPods, however, offer more in this department, with claimed figures of six hours out of the case and 30 hours in total. We’ve got some advice on getting better AirPods battery life. Apple’s 2nd gen AirPods can respond to Hey Siri commands, charge wirelessly if you opt for the Wireless Charging Case, and offer more talk time than the originals. Those features are kept in the 2021 3rd-generation models, with Spatial Audio and Adaptive EQ added to the mix. The 4th generation AirPods arrived in 2024 and add ANC to the mix. The AirPods Max are over-ear headphones and essentially a completely different product to the rest of the AirPods range. They are a lot more expensive and a totally different proposition to the other AirPods. Audio quality is almost universally considered to be exceptional, but it’s debatable whether it’s exceptional enough to justify that premium price tag. And many reviewers have pointed out that the case is oddly designed, given that the one part of the headphones that it doesn’t protect–the mesh headband–is the one that’s most vulnerable to damage.The AirPods Max are an appealing prospect, but may not be practical for most budgets. For more detailed advice and thoughts on the best alternatives to Apple’s three cheaper AirPods models, read our guides to the Best wireless earbuds and the best wired headphones.

Norway gets world's first Apple Pay alternative for iPhone
A Norwegian firm has become the first to take advantage of the EU law that required Apple to allow Apple Pay rivals to use its iPhone NFC technology.Tap to Vipps works exactly the same way that Apple Pay does — image credit: Vipps MobilePayAs per the requirements of the EU's Digital Markets Act, Apple has been adding APIs to allow rivals to use its iPhone NFC in their digital wallet and banking apps. Now users of Vipps MobilePay in Norway can simply elect to use that service instead of Apple Pay."We have fought for years to be able to compete on equal footing with Apple," said Rune Garborg, CEO of Vipps MobilePay, in a blog post, "and it feels almost surreal to finally be able to launch our very own solution."

Say hello to Samsung’s suspiciously familiar new phone OS
Macworld There are only so many ways you can improve a smartphone, and these days the major manufacturers’ flagship handsets are pretty evenly matched. The difference lies in the software. We iPhone users swear by iOS, and why not? It’s better than Android. (Angry emails to the usual address.) Mobile operating systems, of course, are already trending towards similarity, much like the hardware they run on. Apple and Google frequently adopt each other’s OS features, and that can only be a good thing for the customer. Nobody wants app offloading or RCS support to be a platform exclusive. These aren’t game consoles. But there’s a difference between the free marketplace of ideas and blatant imitation, and Apple’s rivals have been known to adopt, not one or two general concepts, but its entire way of doing things. Occasionally the mimicry is so uncanny that one would almost suspect they’re trying to trick customers into thinking they’re holding an iPhone when they’re not. Of course, that can’t possibly be the case. But you do wonder… Last week, Samsung announced the release of its One UI 7 mobile OS in public beta, and to say that it looks a lot like iOS 18, from the arrangement of onscreen elements to the overall design language, would be an understatement. The leaker Ice Universe loaded up matching wallpapers on two handsets for a direct comparison and the results are astonishing. The key here is to understand the difference between ideas and execution. As you can see above, iOS 18 and One UI 7 both have Now Playing music widgets on the lock screen, for example, and that’s perfectly reasonable; whoever thought of it first, it’s fair for the idea to be adopted by other companies in time. But for the widgets to be rendered in such a similar way, achieving such a similar look, is where the imitation becomes hard to justify. It starts to stray closer and closer to the legal concept of passing off. Control Center (right) and something that looks an awful lot like Control Center.Ice Universe One UI 7’s equivalent of Control Center is jarringly familiar, too: a grid of semi-transparent grey circles and squircles with white sans serif text labels. And its camera interface, which isn’t shown in Ice Universe’s comparison but can be seen in Samsung’s official announcement article, has been pretty much Xeroxed (perhaps an unfortunate verb to use, given Apple’s own history of imitation) from the same function in iOS. At least pretend to be doing your own thing, guys. Ultimately, perhaps, we might wonder whether this sort of thing matters. Eventually the smartphone will become fully commoditized, if it hasn’t been already, and products will compete on price and the general appearance of quality rather than on unique and identifiable characteristics. Buying a smartphone will start to feel a bit like buying a potato, only with slightly higher stakes. It’s also understandable that companies with a generic brand, like Samsung, will be happier to see that future arrive than those like Apple with a strong and carefully cultivated aesthetic. Even so, it does make me wonder if Samsung has thought this through properly. Yes, Apple has the most to lose if all the mobile OSes become indistinguishable. But Samsung is still a premium brand, even if it isn’t exactly known for its originality, and it might be surprised by how little customers are willing to spend on a smartphone, and how rarely they’ll be inclined to upgrade, if they realise that one handset is pretty much the same as another.

Hate the new iOS 18 Photos app? Here’s how to fix it in a few taps
Macworld One of the biggest new features of iOS 18 is a completely redesigned Photos app. Apple calls it the “biggest redesign ever,” and the massive changes have been quite contentious, to put it mildly. Many users have expressed frustration with the new layout, complaining about missing features (some of which aren’t really missing) and difficulty finding what they’re looking for. You don’t need to look hard to see what’s different. Where the old Photos app had four tabs at the bottom of the interface (Library, For You, Albums, and Search) the new interface is tab-free, placing all of your content on a vertically scrolling page. There’s no way to revert to the old iOS 17 Photos app, but with these tweaks you can make the new design a lot more usable. Your Photo Library is still there The top half of the main Photos screen contains your entire photo library. It’s not totally intuitive, but you need to scroll upward to go back in time and see what’s not visible on the screen. As you scroll, you’ll see three options—Years, Months, or All—which lets you quickly access a specific time period. You can also tap the button with up and down arrows on the left to change the view. Here you can sort by Recently Added or Date Captured, change how many photos are in a row, eliminate screenshots from the main view, and filter be various categories, including Favorites, Photos, and Videos. Your Albums are still there too The new Photos app prioritizes smart Collections, which are auto-generated albums that populate on their own. However, if you scroll down to the very bottom of the screen, you’ll find your Albums from the old app. You can either swipe left or tap the right arrow icon to see them all. To create a new album tap the right arrow and press Create on the window that pops up. To edit on existing album, tap and hold on any album name to see a list of options. You can customize and reorder everything Now that you know where things are, let’s get to fixing it. The bottom half of the Photos app contains a bunch of categories, some of which are unfamiliar or organized differently. You probably don’t want them all cluttering up your view and good news, you don’t have to keep them there. At the very bottom of the main page you’ll find a large Customize & Reorder button, which is a one-stop shop for making the Photos app what you want it to be. Tap it and you’ll see a list of the categories and collections that are currently visible on your main page. It’s simple—click the ones you don’t want to see to remove the blue check. Then, use the little bars on the right to drag them into the order you want them. You’re not actually removing any data here, just choosing which major sections you want on that big vertically-scrolling front page and in which order. Trimming the interface down to just the parts you want is the single biggest thing you can do to making the new Photos app more enjoyable. Foundry Pinned Collections are very customizable One of the biggest changes in the Photos app is the prominence of Pinned Collections, which are groups of photos of a certain type, such as screenshots, selfies, locations, or specific people or pets. You can swipe the Pinned Collections row to scroll through them. But you don’t need to stick to the ones Apple chooses. to get the most out of Pinned Collections, you’ll want to customize it. Tap Modify and you can choose which Collections to include on the main page, as well as reorder the list using the little bar on the right. You can also pin your own albums. Scroll to the bottom of the Modify page and you’ll see an option to add any Collection or Album. If you keep going back to this one custom Album you’ve had for years, or always look at pictures of your pet Fluffy, you can add those specific things to your Pinned Collections list and drag it right to the top spot. Foundry There are more settings in your Apple ID profile pic In the top right corner of the main screen, you’ll see two icons: Search and your Apple ID profile picture. Tap your image to several options, including the iCloud sync status, which is no longer shown on the main Photos window. Explore this page and you’ll find several useful options. You can choose whether you want the main Photos view to show shared albums or your hidden albums, if videos should loop, whether you want to see automatically-generated stuff like Featured Content and Holiday Events, and so on. This is also where you’ll reset suggestions for People & Pets or Memories, if you feel like the AI has gone off track. Foundry

Baseus Nomos 5-in-1 Charger review: Versatile all-in-one 140W desktop and wireless charger
Macworld At a glanceExpert's Rating Pros Four USB-C inc 140W PD 3.1 15W Qi2 wireless iPhone charger Built-in 100W USB-C cable Portable Cons Our Verdict The Baseus Nomos 5-in-1 Charger is a unique and versatile all-round device charger that can fast-charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro at 140W and has spare USB ports and a built-in 100W USB-C cable that enable you to charge five devices at the same time. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Price When Reviewed$149.99 Best Prices Today: Baseus Nomos 5-in-1 Desktop Charger Qi2 140W Retailer Price $119.99 View Deal Baseus $149.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket The Baseus Nomos 5-in-1 Charger is a unique and versatile all-round device charger that can fast-charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro at 140W and has spare USB ports and a built-in 100W USB-C cable that enable you to charge five devices at the same time. A desktop USB-C charger is a great on-desk solution for charging multiple power-hungry devices at the same time. They are usually fairly slab-like blocks of USB ports attached to a fairly hefty power brick and then to a wall socket. With its Nomos 5-in-1 Charger Baseus has created a desktop charger like no other, boasting handy features and wired and wireless charging flexibility alongside top-end ports, with even the chance to call its solution portable. Dominik Tomaszewski / Foundry Specs and features Dimensions:  4.7 x 3.5 x 1.6 inches (11.9 x 8.9 x 4.1cm) Weight: 1.05lb (476g) Ports: 3x USB-C (1x 100W PD 3.0; 1x 140W PD 3.1), 1x USB-A (15W) USB-C Cable: 1x 100W PD 3.0 Wireless iPhone charger: 15W (Qi2) Total power output: 140W Colors: Black The most obvious features of the Baseus 5-in-1 desktop charger are the built-in USB-C cable and the adjustable wireless charging pad that set it out among the many USB array desktop chargers. The inclusion of an integrated USB-C cable is very handy as it means you can connect your laptop or any USB-C device without hunting around for a spare charging cable—and checking that the spare cable is rated at the correct wattage: all decent USB-C cables should charge at 60W, but larger laptops will likely require higher 100W or even 140W power delivery for optimal charging. The cable built into this desktop charger is rated at 100W so is powerful enough to charge all Apple’s MacBooks. However, fast-charging the 16-inch MacBook Pro requires a 140W port and cable. The Baseus desktop charger has this covered with one of the two spare USB-C ports rated at 140W PD 3.1. The other port matches the built-in cable at 100W PD 3.0. Alongside these USB-C connections is a USB-A port that is rated at a respectable 15W for charging older devices that still use the non-reversible rectangular connection. 15W is more than enough to charge your AirPods case, for example. At 2.6 feet (0.8m) the cable is long enough to reach across most desks, and retracts back into the charger body with a slight pull. The connector end then magnetically tidies itself to the front panel of the charger. Most unique of the features is the magnetic wireless charging pad that unfolds from the top of the desktop charger. This is built for iPhones (12 and later) and can charge wirelessly at 15W as it uses the MagSafe-friendly Qi2 technology. The maximum power output is 140W so if fast-charging a 16-inch MacBook, you won’t be able to use any of the other ports without reducing power. Other desktop chargers such as the Anker Prime Charger and the Satechi 200W USB-C 6-port PD GaN Charger both have a higher 200W total output, but lack the handy built-in cable and wireless charger. Dominik Tomaszewski / Foundry Design The good-looking and compact Baseus Nomos 5-in-1 Charger is a little below the average size for a desktop charger, measuring 4.7 x 3.5 x 1.6 inches (11.9 x 8.9 x 4.1cm). It weighs just over a pound and under half a kilo. While desktop chargers, as their name suggests, are usually static, the Nomos could be picked up and carried in a bag as its power cord goes straight to a power socket (with no unwieldy power brick) and is detachable. The wireless phone charging pad can be pulled up about 0.6 inches and angled at up to 60 degrees if used as a phone stand. Next to the Qi2 pad is a smart display that shows a detailed charging status for each output. Baseus Price The Baseus 5-in-1 Nomos Charger is priced at $149.99 / €149,99, either direct or at Amazon. U.K. shoppers can buy one from AliExpress for £121.24 (usually £166.51), just note it will either have a U.S. plug or EU plus, not a U.K. plug. For a product with both wired and wireless charging points, this is a reasonable price for a charger that can handle all your devices at the same time. For more options see our roundup of the best USB-C chargers for Mac. Verdict The Baseus Nomos 5-in-1 Charger is a unique and versatile all-round device charger that can fast-charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro at 140W and has spare USB ports and a built-in 100W USB-C cable that enable you to charge five devices at the same time.

Analysis: Apple Vision Pro sells well, but needs more content faster
The Apple Vision Pro is often referred to as a "flop" in media reports, but by the end of 2024, it will have sold around 500,000 units.Apple Vision Pro features stunning immersive environments and content.For context, that Wall Street estimate matches almost exactly the money Apple made from the iPhone in 2008, its first full calendar year of sales. While 500,000 units seems small compared to current iPhone or Mac sales, it's impressive for a first, albeit expensive, foray into VR.In terms of gross revenue, the Apple Vision Pro is projected to bring in as much in its first 11 months as the proposed cost of a new state-of-the-art sports stadium currently being built in Las Vegas.

Why iOS 18.2 is a must-have update even if you don’t run Apple Intelligence
Macworld When iOS 18.2 rolls out to all iPhones on Monday, it’s going to bring a ton of great new features. Most of the focus is on the new Apple Intelligence capabilities, and for good reason: AI is Apple’s big marketing hook but the features are rolling out gradually over several months. The iOS 18.2 (and macOS 15.2) adds long-awaited image tools and ChatGPT integration that make Apple Intelligence a lot more useful. But if you don’t have an iPhone 16 or iPhone 15 Pro (or just don’t care about AI), none of that matters to you. Fortunately, iOS 18.2 isn’t just an Apple Intelligence drop, it adds a host of other quality-of-life features and changes, too. Here are all the new things in iOS 18.2 coming to your iPhone that have nothing to do with Apple Intelligence. Camera Control improvements After months of criticism, Apple is making several tweaks to the Camera Control button in iOS 18.2, for those with an iPhone 16. First, pressing and holding the button will launch the new Visual Intelligence feature. But there are some other quality-of-life improvements, too. In Settings > Accessibility > Camera Control you’ll be able to adjust the double-click speed. You can also enable an autofocus/exposure lock in Settings > Camera > Camera Control, so a light press on the button locks exposure and focus much as it usually does on the shutter button of a DLSR. Finally, there’s a new toggle that requires the screen to be on for the Camera Control button to launch a camera app. You’ll find that in Settings > Display & Brightness, which is sort of a confusing place for it. Foundry New Mail app with smart categories The Mail app will analyze the content of your emails and automatically categorize them into four categories: Primary: Your personal mail or mail that needs to be acted on right away. Transactions: Receipts, order confirmations, shipping notices, etc. Updates: News and newsletters, social media notifications, and the like. Promotions: Coupons, marketing offers, and so on. The four categories will exist as buttons at the top of the Mail app, and you can swipe left on them to show All Mail. And no, Apple isn’t reading your emails. All of this happens on the device. Volume limit and lock screen slider In the Settings > Sound & Haptics menu, there’s a new Volume Limit feature for your iPhone’s built-in speaker (volume limits for headphones have been around for a long time). It only affects media playback, not calls/FaceTime, alerts, or system sounds. There’s also a new option in Settings > Accessibility > Audio & Visual called “Always Show Volume Control.” This will put the volume control slider back on the bottom of the media playback controls on your Lock screen. That volume slider was removed back in iOS 16 (unless you were using AirPlay), and if you miss it, you can have it back now. Default messaging and calling apps In iOS 18.2’s Settings > Apps you’ll find a new selection at the top, before your list of installed apps, called Default Apps. In this menu, you’ll choose default applications for things like email, browser, passwords & codes, and more. Most are options you had before (albeit scattered throughout Settings), but Messaging and Calling are new. There are no applications that qualify to populate those areas right now, but that’s probably just a matter of existing apps needing new versions that use new frameworks. Foundry Sudoku puzzles in News+ If you’re a News+ subscriber, you have access to several puzzles in the News app. Apple publishes daily crosswords, crosswords mini, and a word game called Quartiles. Now, daily Sudoku puzzles join the list. There is an easy, moderate, and challenging puzzle available each day. Foundry AirTag item location sharing You’ve been able to share an AirTag with another iPhone user, but that’s only really helpful for family members or trusted friends. With iOS 18.2, Apple is going to let you create a secure link you can share with someone else to let them see the location of an AirTag. They’ll be able to open it on any device, even just a web browser on any computer, and see the location of that AirTag. The link automatically expires after 7 days or when the AirTag is reunited with its owner, and of course the owner can turn off the sharing at any time. What’s more, Apple is working with a bunch of major airlines to make this sharing process a part of their customer service flow for lost luggage. Apple Charge time estimates? This isn’t yet available in the IOS 18.2 beta, but 9to5Mac discovered code that suggests Apple will soon show you how much longer your iPhone has until it reaches a full charge. It’s a feature that’s been present on Android phones for a while and would be a welcome overdue addition to the iPhone. However, while the feature first popped up in one of the early iOS 18.2 beta codes, it’s not live yet. There’s a chance it will be switched on when iOS 18.2 is available for all on Monday. If not expect it in iOS 18.3 sometime in February.

Why Phishers Love New TLDs Like .shop, .top and .xyz
Phishing attacks increased nearly 40 percent in the year ending August 2024, with much of that growth concentrated at a small number of new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) -- such as .shop, .top, .xyz -- that attract scammers with rock-bottom prices and no meaningful registration requirements, new research finds. Meanwhile, the nonprofit entity that oversees the domain name industry is moving forward with plans to introduce a slew of new gTLDs.

This may lead to a race between the fabric controller admin queue destroy code path (invoked while shutting down controller) and hw/hctx queue dispatcher called from the nvme keep-alive async request queuing operation. This race could lead to the kernel crash shown below: Call Trace: autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0xbc (unreliable) __blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests+0x114/0x24c blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests+0x44/0x84 blk_mq_run_hw_queue+0x140/0x220 nvme_keep_alive_work+0xc8/0x19c [nvme_core] process_one_work+0x200/0x4e0 worker_thread+0x340/0x504 kthread+0x138/0x140 start_kernel_thread+0x14/0x18 While shutting down fabric controller, if nvme keep-alive request sneaks in then it would be flushed off. The nvme_keep_alive_end_io function is then invoked to handle the end of the keep-alive operation which decrements the admin- >q_usage_counter and assuming this is the last/only request in the admin queue then the admin- >q_usage_counter becomes zero. If that happens then blk-mq destroy queue operation (blk_mq_destroy_ queue()) which could be potentially running simultaneously on another cpu (as this is the controller shutdown code path) would forward progress and deletes the admin queue. So, now from this point onward we are not supposed to access the admin queue resources. However the issue here's that the nvme keep-alive thread running hw/hctx queue dispatch operation hasn't yet finished its work and so it could still potentially access the admin queue resource while the admin queue had been already deleted and that causes the above crash. This fix helps avoid the observed crash by implementing keep-alive as a synchronous operation so that we decrement admin- >q_usage_counter only after keep-alive command finished its execution and returns the command status back up to its caller (blk_execute_rq()). This would ensure that fabric shutdown code path doesn't destroy the fabric admin queue until keep-alive request finished execution and also keep-alive thread is not running hw/hctx queue dispatch operation. 2024-11-25 not yet calculated CVE-2024-53102 Mozilla--Firefox  The application failed to account for exceptions thrown by the `loadManifestFromFile` method during add-on signature verification. This flaw, triggered by an invalid or unsupported extension manifest, could have caused runtime errors that disrupted the signature validation process. As a result, the enforcement of signature validation for unrelated add-ons may have been bypassed. Signature validation in this context is used to ensure that third-party applications on the user's computer have not tampered with the user's extensions, limiting the impact of this issue. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 133, Firefox ESR < 128.5, Thunderbird < 133, and Thunderbird < 128.5. 2024-11-26 not yet calculated CVE-2024-11696 Mozilla--Firefox  On Android, Firefox may have inadvertently allowed viewing saved passwords without the required device PIN authentication.

This vulnerability allows DAG authors to unintentionally or intentionally log sensitive configuration variables. Unauthorized users could access these logs, potentially exposing critical data that could be exploited to compromise the security of the Airflow deployment.

Due to missing validation checks for KVM-compatible templates in CloudStack 4.0.0 through 4.18.2.4 and 4.19.0.0 through 4.19.1.2, an attacker that can register templates, can use them to deploy malicious instances on KVM-based environments and exploit this to gain access to the host filesystems that could result in the compromise of resource integrity and confidentiality, data loss, denial of service, and availability of KVM-based infrastructure managed by CloudStack. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache CloudStack 4.18.2.5 or 4.19.1.3, or later, which addresses this issue. Additionally, all user-registered KVM-compatible templates can be scanned and checked that they are flat files that should not be using any additional or unnecessary features. For example, operators can run the following command on their file-based primary storage(s) and inspect the output. An empty output for the disk being validated means it has no references to the host filesystems; on the other hand, if the output for the disk being validated is not empty, it might indicate a compromised disk. However, bear in mind that (i) volumes created from templates will have references for the templates at first and (ii) volumes can be consolidated while migrating, losing their references to the templates. Therefore, the command execution for the primary storages can show both false positives and false negatives. for file in $(find /path/to/storage/ -type f -regex [a-f0-9-]*.*); do echo "Retrieving file [$file] info.
