The battery capacity of Apple's rumored iPhone 17 Air will be below the 3,000 mAh mark, according to a recent post from Instant Digital, an account with more than 1.4 million followers on Chinese social media platform Weibo. Thanks to iOS 26's new Adaptive Power Mode, though, the account said that the iPhone 17 Air should achieve full-day battery life. A previous rumor pegged the iPhone 17 Air's battery capacity at around 2,800 mAh, which would indeed be below the 3,000 mAh mark. Some of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 models were the last with battery capacities at or below the 3,000 mAh mark. Of course, you can only directly compare mAh values when the batteries have the same voltage, with Wh a preferred unit of measurement. iPhone batteries typically do have the same voltage, allowing for mAh comparisons. Instant Digital has accurately leaked Apple information before, such as the Yellow finish for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, and the Apple Watch Ultra 2's Titanium Milanese Loop. However, the account does not have a perfect track record. A few months ago, The Information's Wayne Ma reported that the iPhone 17 Air would have "worse" battery life compared to previous iPhone models, due to the device's rumored ultra-thin 5.5mm design limiting internal space for a battery. In internal testing, Apple determined that the percentage of users who will be able to use the iPhone 17 Air for a full day without needing to recharge the device throughout the day will be between 60% and 70%, according to that report. For other iPhone models, the report said that metric is apparently between 80% and 90%. To mitigate this problem, the report said that Apple is planning to release a battery case as an optional accessory for the iPhone 17 Air. Apple last released battery cases for the iPhone 11 lineup, followed by the since-discontinued MagSafe Battery Pack for iPhone 12 models and newer. A battery case both protects an iPhone and provides additional battery life as necessary.Related Roundup: iPhone 17 AirTag: Instant DigitalRelated Forum: iPhoneThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums32 minutes agoHow to pay with an Apple Cash card number

"F1" already had by far Apple's highest opening weekend in theaters, but now it's expected to cross $400 million, and has become one of star Brad Pitt's most successful movies.Brad Pitt in "F1" — image credit: AppleIn 2024, the question was whether Apple could ever produce a truly hit movie, and "F1" was believed to be its last attempt. Then in late June 2025, it opened to a record — for Apple — of over $55 million from 3,661 theaters across the US.The film opened internationally at the same time, and the global box office take was predicted to surpass $300 million by mid-July. Instead, at time of writing on July 18, 2025, the film is estimated to have earned $399,481,913 worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo.

Macworld During last week’s four-day “Prime Day” event, we saw AirPods 4 on sale for the lowest price ever. As expected, those prices went back up when the event ended–but they just dropped again, matching those steep Prime Day discounts. You can get the AirPods 4 without active noise cancelling for only $89, a 30 percent discount off its $129 MSRP and the lowest price we’ve seen. We think the AirPods 4 with ANC for only $119 is an even better buy, though. That’s 33 percent off, and again, the lowest price we’ve ever seen for these. The AirPods 4 with ANC earned our Editor’s Choice rating with a 4.5-star score when we reviewed them. We loved everything about them, chiefly the superb audio quality and excellent noise canceling without silicone tips. In our testing, the AirPods 4’s noise cancellation also delivered great clarity and volume when talking, while the Conversation Awareness feature works great to automatically lower the volume of what you’re listening to when someone strikes up a conversation. If you want to step up to Apple’s premium earbuds, AirPods Pro 2 are $169 now (32 percent off). It’s not the stellar price of $150 we saw during Prime Day, but it’s a good sale price we only see a few times a year.

Macworld Apple is all in on its new Liquid Glass user interface that it introduced at WWDC last June. So much so that the company may be expanding the Liquid Glass concept beyond its software and into its hardware. According to leaker Setsuna Digital on a Weibo post, Apple may be releasing the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro in a color option that has ties to the Liquid Glass UI design of iOS 26. Setsuna Digital identifies the color as white, but it will show different effects based on the light hitting it. Setsuna Digital/Weibo Setsuna Digital has not seen the Liquid Glass iPhone and has only heard about it. Setsuna Digital made some correct reports about Apple products prior to official release, such as a report on the Titanium Milanese Loop watchband for the Apple Watch Ultra 2, and the iPhone 14’s Yellow color option. Macworld on Wednesday reported on the iPhone 17 colors and noted that White will be an option and that it will be the same as the iPhone 16 Pro. Maijin Bu reported on Thursday about the iPhone 17 Pro colors with a lineup that closely matched Macworld’s, with one exception. While Macworld’s report included a Steel Gray option, Bu’s report only included four colors: orange, white, black, and dark blue. When asked about the gray color on X, he replied, “The answer may be more complex than expected.” The iPhone 17 lineup is expected to be revealed by Apple at a yet-to-be-announced event in September. Besides the iPhone 17 and 17 Pro models, Apple is expected to introduced a new iPhone 17 Air model.

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we catch up on all of the latest rumors about Apple's first foldable iPhone amid a multitude of reports about the device and its launch firming up for next year. Subscribe to The MacRumors Show YouTube channel for more videos Apple's foray into foldable smartphones has been rumored for many years, but it looks like the rumors will finally come to fruition next year. Full-scale prototyping of the device reportedly began last month, Samsung has begun production on the OLED displays destined for the foldable, and it is now believed to be on track to reach launch alongside the iPhone 18 lineup in 2026. The first foldable iPhone is expected to feature a 7.8-inch inner display, a 5.5-inch outer display, a unique hinge system, two rear cameras (wide and ultra wide), one front-facing camera, and a Touch ID power button instead of Face ID. It is likely to be 4.5mm or so when unfolded, and between 9mm and 9.5mm when folded. For comparison, the latest Galaxy Z Fold 7 measures 4.2mm when unfolded, and 8.9mm when folded. It also features three rear cameras, instead of Apple's anticipated two. However, Apple is apparently seeking to outdo Samsung with a "crease-free" display thanks to an innovative design that uses a metal plate to disperse and control the stress generated by bending the display. This would be an industry first. It is expected to cost $1,800 to $2,000. Samsung's new Galaxy Z Fold 7 starts at $1,999.99.

Along with the launch of new Apple Watch models, Apple is releasing watchOS 26 in just under a couple of months, and the software update is bringing several new features that should make all compatible Apple Watch models smarter and more helpful. Provided you own a model that supports watchOS 26, here are 10 new things you'll be able to do with your Apple Watch when the software rolls around in September. Auto-adjust speaker volume: When not in silent mode, your Apple Watch will automatically adjust the volume of incoming notifications, calls, and Siri responses based on the ambient noise around you. Wrist flick back to watch face: A wrist flick gesture on newer Apple Watch models allows one-handed notification dismissal. You can turn your wrist over and back to dismiss notifications, silence timers and alarms, or return to the watch face. Get seconds in always-on display mode: On Apple Watch Series 10 models, more watch faces that count the seconds between minutes will continue to tick over in real time when always-on display mode is active (i.e. when your wrist isn't raised). Translate messages: watchOS 26 supports Live Translation in the Messages app with Apple Intelligence, automatically translating incoming texts and responses. The feature works on Apple Watch Series 9, Series 10, and Ultra 2 with a supported iPhone. Smart Stack hints: The Smart Stack will now offer you hints using contextual data, sensor info, and routine patterns for actionable suggestions. These appear as visual prompts on the display, such as Backtrack in remote locations or workout suggestions when arriving at fitness locations. Reset Control Center: In watchOS 26, Apple has added a new option that lets you reset your Apple Watch's Control Center if you want to revert back to the default layout. Workout music picked for you: As part of the Workout app revamp, there's a new option that allows your watch to automatically play music based on what you listen to and the type of workout (unless media is already playing). Get Workout milestone alerts: As part of the new optional Workout Buddy feature, you can receive celebratory alerts for when you hit a new milestone – like running 500 miles and more. Create Apple Notes: In watchOS 26, the Notes app finally comes to Apple Watch with functionality including pinning, unlocking, and creating notes via Siri or dictation. There's also a handy new Create Note widget to add to your watch's Control Center. Read what's being said in Live Listen: When the Live Listen feature is enabled on your iPhone, your Apple Watch will deliver a real-time transcription of any speech that's being picked up on your iPhone's microphone. Note: watchOS 26 is currently in developer beta testing, with a general release expected this fall alongside the iOS 26 rollout for iPhones.Related Roundups: watchOS 11, watchOS 26Related Forum: Apple WatchThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums03:01 pmIndian Apple reseller Ample expands presence, expects 35% revenue growth in fiscal year 2026 | Mac Daily NewsIndian Apple reseller Ample expands presence, expects 35% revenue growth in fiscal year 2026

Apple today announced it will be opening a new store at the Touchwood Solihull shopping center in Solihull, a town near Birmingham in England. Image Credit: Basic Apple Guy Apple's existing store in the mall will be permanently closing on Thursday, July 24, at 6 p.m. local time, according to the company. The new store replacing it will hold its grand opening on Saturday, July 26 at 9 a.m. local time. Apple first opened a store at Touchwood Solihull in 2007, so it has been serving customers there for nearly 18 years. The new store will have a modern design, with Apple now preferring to use engineered wood as its primary material of choice, rather than stainless steel. The new store is significantly larger than the current one, and it will likely be equipped with an Apple Pickup station for customers to collect online orders. The new store will be located directly across the hall from Apple's existing location, in the Crescent Arcade section of the mall. Apple is taking over a unit previously occupied by Topshop, next to clothing retailer Superdry. It has been a fairly busy year for Apple retail in the UK. Earlier this year, Apple opened a redesigned store at the Trafford Centre, near Manchester. And next month, Apple will be permanently closing its store in central Bristol.

Macworld iPhone users can escape heavy mobile roaming charges while traveling abroad by downloading a simple app and digital eSIM. An eSIM can temporarily take over the data duties of the physical SIM card in your iPhone and comes preloaded with a data allowance that is much cheaper than you’ll get by leaving your phone to roam exotic cellular services abroad. It’s the easiest way to avoid undesirably expensive data charges via a dedicated digital mobile data plan. eSIMs work with iPhones released after 2018, so from the iPhone XS onwards. Setup is a cinch. Don’t worry about your phone being disconnected in a different country as you don’t need to change your phone number to get hold of this much cheaper mobile data while on holiday or away for business. A simple download will save your travel money Foreign data roaming charges when travelling internationally are probably travel’s most common unexpected expenditure. Often without you realizing, these data charges can seriously accumulate for iPhone users reliant on their phones most of the day—checking a route via Maps, streaming a TV show, or sharing holiday snaps with friends on social media. GigSky Safer than Wi-Fi hotspots Relying on Wi-Fi is rarely advisable outside of your hotel, as untrustworthy hotspots expose you to the risk of hackers gaining access to your phone’s valuable data. Buying eSIM is a much more safe, inexpensive and convenient solution when travelling with your phone whilst abroad. The days of having to buy a physical local SIM are over now that you can simply download and setup a digital eSIM. One of the most convenient and simple eSIM implementations we’ve tried for iPhone and iPad is from US-based GigSky. You control everything through the free app. First choose your destination, then set up and activate the eSIM when you arrive. You choose fixed international data plans range from 500MB to 50GB and select one of the available trip durations from three days to 15 days. The app is always accessible, even if you run out of data—just top up the eSIM with extra data if you need it with a few taps. An eSIM that works on land, sea and air GigSky As well as offering mobile data plans in 200 countries, the GigSky eSIM works on cruise ships. The at-sea service is combined with a regular land service so your single plan works for the entire vacation. You can also use the plan inflight on over 20 different airlines. Unlike other eSIM providers that are really just data resellers, GigSky owns much of its core network elements as it is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO). You can rest assured that its customer service will be able to expertly and quickly diagnose any network or installation issues you might have while away. Better still, you don’t need to buy a new eSIM each time you pack your suitcase and passport. Free trial If you want to test out the service, there’s even a free 500MB trial plan for Europe—or 100MB everywhere else—with no credit card required. And Visa users can take advantage of special promotional offers that allow them to redeem complimentary mobile plans.

Macworld At a glance Pros Vast open world to explore Interesting characters and quests Stylish graphics and design Runs on all Apple Silicon Cons Expensive Requires macOS 15.5 with 16GB No Intel support Our Verdict It’s been a few years since Cyberpunk 2077 was released for PCs, but at least that allowed the developers to fix all the technical problems, and they’ve done an impressive job adapting it for the latest Apple Silicon Macs. The game’s vast open world creates a great sense of freedom as you explore Night City, and decide how to cope with having Keanu Reeves inside your brain.

The developers at CD Projekt Red didn’t give up, though, and issued a series of updates over the next couple of years that fixed most of the game’s technical problems. The Phantom Liberty expansion in 2023 finally allowed the game to achieve its true potential, and Cyberpunk 2077 went on to sell more than 30 million copies, making it one of the best-selling games of all time – and possibly the biggest ever gaming launch for the Mac. The Mac version costs a rather hefty $82.90/£69.99 when bought on the Mac App Store, but that’s for the Ultimate Edition that includes both the original game and the Phantom Liberty expansion. However, the game is also available on Steam, Gog and other online stores, where you can buy the base game for around $60/£50, or pay $83/£69 for the Ultimate Edition. And, thankfully, people who already own the PC version of the game on Steam or Gog can also download the Mac version as well, without having to buy it separately. As the name suggests, the game is set in the year 2077, and takes place in Night City – “a megalopolis, obsessed with power, glamour and body modification”. Clearly inspired by Blade Runner, Night City is a feast for the eyes, all neon lights, seedy back alleys and smoke-filled bars. The first-person viewpoint initially suggests that Cyberpunk is a relatively straightforward FPS shoot ‘em up, but it’s actually a deep and challenging role-playing game, and it’s nice to see an RPG that is bold enough to step into the future rather than just relying on the tired old fantasy clichés of dungeons and dragons. Your character – who can be male or female – is a hacker simply known as V, and you start the game by choosing one of three ‘lifepaths’ that fill in V’s background. You can assign experience points to attributes such as intelligence, reflexes, technical ability and ‘cool’, with each attribute giving you access to different skills that you can develop throughout the game. And, of course, there are plenty of body modifications and upgrades that you can collect along the way too. Character creation tools.Foundry It’s a shame that there aren’t any preset character builds to help you get started, so you may end up restarting the game a couple of times before you settle on a character that suits you. However, the opening section of the game acts as a tutorial that introduces the main controls, and the futuristic setting means that V can use a VR simulation within the game as a kind of tutorial-within-a-tutorial that helps you get started with combat, stealth, and computer hacking skills. The main game starts when V is sent on a mission to steal a prototype chip called the Relic, but then ends up with the Relic implanted inside his own head instead. And it turns out that the chip stores the digital personality of a dead anti-corporate rockstar called Johnny Silverhand (played by Keanu Reeves). It might sound kind of cool sharing your noggin with Keanu Reeves, but Johnny soon starts to take over, forcing you to find a way to save your own personality before it gets overwritten and replaced by Johnny (there’s also a guest appearance from Idris Elb in the Phantom Liberty expansion too). In addition to that main quest, Night City itself provides a huge open world that you can explore along the way. It has a great sense of atmosphere, and you can visit different districts, such as the coastal resort of Pacifica, or the crime-riddled Dogtown. There’s a varied cast of characters that you can meet – and sometimes romance – and plenty of jobs that you can pick up in order to pay for a few upgrades and modifications, or maybe treat yourself to a new car. There are few games on the Mac that create the same sense of freedom as you explore the world of Night City, and you can spend hours simply exploring before you decide to tackle the main quest. Unsurprisingly, the action can get pretty violent, and there’s lots of bad language too, so Cyberpunk 2077 definitely isn’t suitable for younger gamers. The team at CD Projekt Red recently introduced updates for The Witcher 1 and 2 that run on Apple Silicon, and they’ve done a good job with the Mac version of Cyberpunk 2077 too. They say that it will run even on Macs with a basic M1 processor – although the bad news is that you will need macOS 15.5 and at least 16GB of memory to run it properly (and there’s no support for Intel Macs either). Foundry The game includes presets that adjust graphics settings for different Mac models, and there are some useful support pages for the Mac version at support.cdprojektred.com, which will help you to get the best performance from the game. I got a steady 40fps when running the game at 1,920 x1,200 resolution on my MacBook Pro with an M2 Pro chip, so you don’t need the latest, fastest Mac models to get good performance. Should You Buy Cyberpunk 2077 It’s expensive, but Cyberpunk 2077 creates an atmospheric and exciting futuristic world for you to explore. Whether you’re hanging out with Keanu Reeves, tackling side quests, or collecting fancy cars, there are all sorts of activities to keep you busy. The varied skills and abilities you can learn will keep even die-hard RPG fans busy for weeks – and there’s not a dragon in sight.

Macworld In a drastic legal step that will have set alarm bells ringing throughout the tech rumorsphere, Apple has sued the YouTuber Jon Prosser for leaking information about iOS 26 ahead of its launch. Or, more specifically, for the methods he allegedly used to obtain that information. As reported by MacRumors, the company on Thursday filed a lawsuit (Scribd link) against Prosser and his associate Michael Ramacciotti, alleging misappropriation of trade secrets. The suit accuses the two of a “coordinated scheme” to break into a “development” iPhone, steal Apple secrets from it, and profit from them, thereby harming the company and its employees. “Defendants’ misconduct was brazen and egregious,” the suit asserts. “After Mr Prosser learned that Mr Ramacciotti needed money, and that his friend Ethan Lipnik worked at Apple on unreleased software designs, Defendants jointly planned to access Apple’s confidential and trade secret information through Mr Lipnik’s Apple-owned development iPhone. “While staying at Mr Lipnik’s home, Mr Ramacciotti used location tracking to determine when Mr Lipnik would be gone for an extended period, acquired his passcode, and broke into his Development iPhone, which Mr Lipnik had failed to properly secure according to Apple’s policies. As he detailed in the audio message, Mr Ramacciotti made a video call to Mr Prosser and ‘showed iOS’ on the Development iPhone. He demonstrated several features and applications, disclosing details of the unreleased iOS 19 [later announced as iOS 26] operating system.” Apple is famous for the zealousness with which the company guards its secrets, but this may be the most aggressive step it has taken against a leaker since Gizmodo editor Jason Chen’s home was raided in 2010. iOS 26, Apple’s newest iPhone software update, was unveiled at WWDC in June, but as is often the case with unreleased Apple products it had been the subject of intense and argumentative speculation long before then. In March, Prosser posted a video claiming to offer “your very first look at iOS 19,” and later showed a screenshot of the new Messages app in a podcast. (It’s possible these videos will be taken down as the lawsuit progresses, so if you’re reading this in the future, you may have to take our word for it.) Fellow leaker Mark Gurman then claimed that iOS 19 screenshots doing the rounds–probably including Prosser’s screenshot, but not naming him–were “unrepresentative,” before Prosser finally hit back with the “biggest iOS leak ever.” It now appears, if we are to believe Apple’s version of events, that Prosser was so bullish about his information because it had been acquired from one of Apple’s own devices running a pre-release build of the software. But Prosser claims otherwise. In a pair of replies to MacRumors’ tweet about this story, the YouTuber says “This is not how things went down on my end” and “I certainly did not ‘plot’ to access anyone’s phone and was unaware of the situation playing out.” That would appear to imply that, while Ramacciotti may indeed have lifted the information from Lipnik’s iPhone, Prosser didn’t ask for this to happen nor know when it did. (It’s also striking that the first word of his reply is simply “Interesting.” That’s an astonishingly calm response to being sued by one of the biggest and most litigious companies in the world. He’s an unusual character, as we found when we interviewed him back in 2020.) It will be interesting to see how this move affects the flow of information through the tech rumorsphere: whether leakers will be cowed into silence, even if only temporarily, and whether their sources dry up. It does raise the question, of course, of how leakers acquire their information about unreleased iOS builds if not through methods similar to the one described in this lawsuit. How did Gurman know about iOS 19/26? Will he be sued? Is there a legitimate way to leak? All these questions and more will be answered in the coming months. We will follow the case as it progresses and report the big developments here on Macworld.11:54 amApple Watch health, iPhone 17 colors, and 'Severance' on the AppleInsider Podcast

Apple is expected to hold its annual iPhone announcement event during the week of September 8, 2025, with September 9 or 10 emerging as the most likely dates. Like the iPhone 16 series, this year's lineup is expected to include four models – but with a twist. The Plus device is being replaced with an all-new ultra-thin model, while the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are set to feature new rear camera designs. To bring you up to speed, we've summarized below the biggest iPhone 17 rumors we've covered so far here on MacRumors. For more details, follow the links, or dive into our dedicated device roundups using the tags at the bottom of this article. 1. All-New iPhone 17 Air Apple is preparing to shake up the iPhone lineup with an ultra-thin model currently referred to as the iPhone 17 Air. While that name isn't official, what is clear from multiple reports is that it is expected to measure just 5.5mm thick (not including the camera bump), making it the thinnest iPhone Apple has ever made. The device will replace the iPhone 17 Plus in this year's lineup altogether. Apple is positioning this model around its design – sleek, minimal, and unlike anything else in the range. It won't match the iPhone 17 Pro models in horsepower or cutting-edge features, but its standout look could make it the most talked-about iPhone of 2025. 2. Display Size Changes Apple's iPhone 17 lineup will include four iPhones, and two of those are going to have all-new display sizes. The iPhone 17 will feature a larger 6.27-inch display, which will make it the same size as the current iPhone 16 Pro display. The ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air is rumored to have a 6.6-inch display, which means it will be larger than the iPhone 17 but smaller than the iPhone 17 Pro Max. 3. Rear Camera Layout Viewed from the rear, the standard iPhone 17 will look a lot like the current iPhone 16, with two vertical rear cameras positioned in a pill-shaped camera bump. However, the iPhone 17 Air and iPhone 17 Pro models are rumored to feature a new rectangular camera bar with rounded corners, with the bar spanning the back of the iPhone, Google Pixel-style. Despite the change, the iPhone 17 Pro models are expected to retain a triangular lens arrangement within the bar. 4. Faster Displays Apple intends to expand ProMotion to all iPhone 17 models, allowing the devices to ramp up to a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling and video. Previously, only "Pro" models in Apple's iPhone lineup have had the feature. Notably, ProMotion would also enable the display on the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 "Air" to ramp down to a more power-efficient refresh rate as low as 1Hz, allowing for an always-on display that can show the Lock Screen's clock, widgets, notifications, and wallpaper even when the device is locked. 5. Chassis Material Changes Since the iPhone X in 2017, all of Apple's highest-end iPhone models have featured either stainless steel or titanium frames. This year, however, the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will feature aluminum frames, with a glass section on the back of the devices to preserve MagSafe and Qi wireless charging support. The base iPhone 17 is also expected to have aluminum, while the all-new iPhone 17 Air is said to be the sole model to feature a titanium chassis. 6. New Wi-Fi 7 Chip The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are said to be equipped with an Apple-designed Wi-Fi 7 chip for the first time. Wi-Fi 7 support would allow the devices to send and receive data over the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands simultaneously with a supported router, resulting in faster Wi-Fi speeds, lower latency, and more reliable connectivity. 7. Rear Camera Enhancements The iPhone 17 Pro models will have a new 48-megapixel Telephoto lens. The upgraded Telephoto will make the premium devices the first iPhones to have a rear camera system composed entirely of 48-megapixel lenses, allowing them to capture even more photographic detail. The new 48MP sensor should also allow for digital cropping to simulate longer focal lengths, offering less quality loss than normal digital zoom. The all-new iPhone 17 Air will have a single-lens 48-megapixel rear camera. We are not aware of any changes to base iPhone 17's dual-lens camera system with a Wide camera and an Ultra Wide camera. 8. Selfie Camera All iPhone models coming in 2025 are rumored to have an upgraded 24-megapixel front-facing camera, which is an improvement over the 12-megapixel front-facing camera in the iPhone 16 models. The camera will notably improve image quality, and allow for more cropping in without a loss of quality. The camera is also said to have a six-element lens, up from a five-element lens, which should also slightly enhance image quality. 9. Anti-Reflective Display The iPhone 17 Pro models are expected to feature a new scratch resistant anti-reflective display layer, but the base iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air models are expected to miss out. Current iPhone models have a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating and a Ceramic Shield, but Apple hasn't focused on anti-reflectivity for the iPhone display like it has for iPad and Mac displays. It's supposedly more scratch resistant than the current Ceramic Shield, so the iPhone 17 models that use it may be able to better hold up to wear and tear. 10. Increased RAM The iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone 17 Air are expected to include 12GB RAM, an improvement over the 8GB RAM in the current high-end iPhone 16 models. Rumors suggest the standard iPhone 17 will remain at 8GB RAM like its predecessor. Any increase in RAM should result in improved multitasking on the iPhone, as well as provide additional resources for Apple Intelligence features that require large-language models to be resident in memory. 11. Dynamic Island Changes One rumor suggests Apple's iPhone 17 models will feature a redesigned Dynamic Island user interface, although the rumor lacks specific details. It was initially rumored that the iPhone 17 Pro Max might have a smaller Dynamic Island area compared to earlier iPhone models, but it was later reported that such a change might not be happening until the iPhone 18 Pro models. Another source has claimed that any reduction in the size of the Dynamic Island will come to all iPhone 17 models. If so, it will be the first change since the feature was introduced on the iPhone 14 Pro models in 2022. 12. Faster Processors The iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air are expected to feature Apple's new A19 chip, while the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will get the A19 Pro chip. Both of those chips are said to be manufactured with TSMC's third-generation 3nm process, known as N3P. Compared to earlier versions of 3nm chips, the N3P chips offer increased performance efficiency and increased transistor density. 13. Improved Thermal Performance The iPhone 17 lineup will feature a vapor chamber heatsink to improve thermal performance, according to one report. Vapor chamber technology is already used in many high-end Android devices. Vapor chambers work by spreading heat evenly across a larger surface area, preventing thermal throttling and maintaining consistent performance, which is particularly beneficial in slim devices. The report claims that every model in the iPhone 17 series will adopt the improved thermal heat spreader. 14. New Video Recording Features According to one rumor, the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will allow users to record video with the front and rear cameras simultaneously, which would be useful for content creators. Some apps on the App Store, such as Snapchat, enable this capability, but this leak suggests it will be a built-in Camera app feature. Apple has also allegedly tested 8K video recording for the iPhone 17 Pro models, which would allow videographers to record using the Ultra Wide camera and then crop in 50% and still achieve 4K resolution. 15. Faster Wireless Charging Apple's iPhone 17 models are likely to support up to 25W wireless charging using a variety of third-party MagSafe charging accessories, thanks to compatibility with the next-generation Qi 2.2 wireless charging standard. Currently, iPhones featuring MagSafe use Qi 2, the Wireless Power Consortium's (WPC) widely supported second-generation charging standard. With third-party chargers, Qi 2 maxes out at 15W – although iPhone 16 models do support upgraded 25W MagSafe charging using an official 30W Apple charger. That limitation is likely to change with the iPhone 17 models, which are expected to support Qi 2.2. 16. New Colors Lineup The base iPhone 17 model is rumored to be coming in six colors, comprised of the existing Black and White colors, and four new ones: Steel Gray, Green, Purple, and Light Blue. The all-new iPhone 17 Air is said to be coming in Black, White, Light Blue, and Light Gold. As for the iPhone 17 Pro models, Black, White (or Liquid Glass?), and Gray are said to be accompanied by new Dark Blue and Orange colors.Related Roundups: iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 ProRelated Forum: iPhoneThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums11:15 amCyberpunk 2077 finally lands on Mac but you’ll probably still want to play it on a PC
Macworld The Mac just got one of the best games of the last decade. Cyberpunk: 2077 may have had a lot of technical issues when it was first released 4.5 years ago, but the ambitious open city, memorable story, and high production values helped gamers hang in there. Their patience was rewarded with a slew of patches to fix problems, re-balance game systems, add quality-of-life features, and more. Now, coinciding with patch 2.3, Cyberpunk: 2077 is finally available for the Mac—on the App Store, Steam, and Epic Games Store. So how well does it run? Is the game worth your time and money? Performance is just OK First, if you’re running the macOS 26 beta, you might as well not bother with Cyberpunk: 2077 right now. The menus load fine, but the game runs in a garbled broken state. The game will get an update to support new Metal 4 features (MetalFX Frame Interpolation and Denoising) to go along with macOS 26 later this year. On macOS Sequoia 15.5 I tested the game on a Mac Studio with an M1 Max and 32GB of RAM, and a high-end Mac mini with the 14/20 core M4 Pro, 48GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. That’s a $2,200 configuration. I also have an aging Windows gaming PC with a Ryzen 9 5950X, GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super, and 32GB of RAM; a system with similar specs today would also cost around $2,200 with a newer and faster CPU. Cyberpunk on the Mac includes a helpful “For This Mac” graphics preset that has optimized settings for every Apple Silicon configuration. On the Mac Studio with M1 Max, that meant mostly Medium graphics settings, with 1080p resolution and MetalFX dynamic resolution scaling set to a target of 60 frames per second. Turning off vsync, the built-in benchmark produced an average of 73 frames per second, but the game looked pretty bad. Bumping up the resolution to 1440p helped a lot and bumped the average to about 58fps, but I still wouldn’t want to play it this way. Don’t expect this level of visual fidelity at a decent frame rate unless you have a Mac with an M3 Ultra or M4 Max.CD Projekt Red It’s pretty hard to wind up with settings that look good on a desktop monitor and run at around 60 frames per second on this older Mac. So what about the M4 Pro Mac mini? The “For This Mac” settings on the M4 Pro bumps everything up to high quality settings with medium crowd density, no ray tracing, and a 1080p 60fps target. It looks a lot cleaner, and runs at 69fps. I could even increase the resolution up to 1440p, which sharpens the image up quite a bit, and get 63fps. That still leaves a lot of visual quality on the table, but it looks and runs well enough to provide a good overall experience. Turning on ray tracing, even the RT Medium preset (which is high detail settings and just a few added ray tracing options) slows things to a crawl. At 1440p the benchmark ran at 29fps. At 4K resolution and Ultra settings (no ray tracing), I got 18fps. It’s a choppy unplayable mess. If you’re wondering how a similarly priced PC runs the game, my GeForce 4070Ti Super-equipped system ran over 88fps at 1440p with the RT Medium preset. I can run the Ultra preset at 4K, with no ray tracing, at 82fps, while the souped-up M4 Pro Mac mini chugged along at 18fps. Apple is at least three times slower than a similarly priced Windows box, and sometimes worse. It’s still a great game It’s a tale we end up telling every time a big game comes to the Mac: Windows PCs have had this game for years and run it several times faster than a Mac of the same price. If your iPhone got the latest hot game six months after all the Android phones, while running it 30 percent slower, you’d call Apple a failure. When it comes to gaming on the Mac, a six-month delay and 30 percent performance penalty would be a massive improvement over where things are today. Keanu Reeves is great as Johnny Silverhand, a punk rock a-hole whose consciousness is stuck in your head.CD Projekt Red Still, if you haven’t played Cyberpunk: 2077 yet and you have a modern, high-power Mac (an M3 Max or M4 Pro at least), it is well worth your time. It’s an incredible world and unforgettable story, with deep, varied, polished gameplay that affords you lots of freedom. With stellar art design and years of graphics updates and tweaks, it looks fantastic. It just takes a powerful and expensive Mac to run it smoothly enough, with high enough settings, for all of that to shine through. We’ll have a closer look at Cyberpunk: 2077 performance on the Mac later this year after the release of macOS 26 and the patch that adds support for Metal 4 features, hopefully with some new Mac hardware.11:04 amInside Apple Calendar – Creating events, setting reminders & remembering birthdays

Macworld Apple is famous for its design sense, having produced a bewildering array of gorgeous gadgets over the years. But perhaps no device has embodied that sense as truly as the Power Mac G4 Cube, a sleek block of aluminum and plastic that turned heads and wowed onlookers when it launched in July 2000. Unfortunately, it was also a commercial flop, lasting just one year until it was discontinued forever. Steve Jobs later admitted that it was overdesigned and overpriced, and while it stands a perhaps the purest expression of Apple’s design sensibilities, it’s also a cautionary tale of what can go wrong in the world of computer design. Now, 25 years to the day since it was released, we can look back and realize there are plenty of lessons we can learn from this stunning, divisive machine. Looks aren’t enough If you’re pitching a high-end device to demanding power users, you need to make sure it’s plenty powerful. That might seem obvious, but this was perhaps the Power Mac G4 Cube’s biggest stumbling block: it didn’t offer enough bang for the buck. The Power Mac G4 Cube had a large external power supply (gray box on the right) and included a pair of Harman Kardon speakers.Computer History Museum Priced at $1,799 (roughly $3,350 today) for the base model, the Power Mac G4 Cube landed squarely at the top end of the market. Yet despite that, it had to make sacrifices to prevent the price from spiraling upwards even further. You couldn’t expand its storage or capabilities, for example, something many pros saw as essential. But at the same time, the device also proved that professional computers could be elegant. With the iMac, the traditional PC design playbook had been ripped apart, but the power-user end of the spectrum was relatively untouched by this idea until the Power Mac G4 Cube came along. With its tiny frame and innovative use of materials, it was a miniature artwork for your desk and showed that you didn’t need a huge machine to get performant components. That’s a concept you can see today in the Mac mini and the Mac Studio, the latter of which especially feels like the spiritual successor of the Power Mac G4 Cube. It’s a lesson that Apple has learned well. Speedy storage matters These days, Macs come with some of the fastest storage drives on the market, but it wasn’t always this way. For far too long, entry-level Macs were equipped with painfully slow hard disk drives (HDDs) that were notably more sluggish than the upgraded versions you could get if you forked out extra. Apple used 5400 rpm hard drives in the G4 Cube. That was a mistake.Christopher Phin/Foundry That’s exactly what happened with the Power Mac G4 Cube, where entry-level models packed in a ponderous 5400 rpm HDD. It was immediately obvious that this was far inferior to the 7200 rpm drives that were available at the time, yet Apple continued to use the slower drives, despite the Mac’s high price. While this helped to keep costs down, it was a poor introduction to the Mac for anyone who didn’t have the cash to splash on upgrades. Considering most people aren’t power users, that’s a lot of users to bog down with slow storage. Thankfully, the age of blazing-fast SSDs means that all of Apple’s Macs now come with storage that’s suitably up to speed. Risks are good When it launched, many members of the public saw the Power Mac G4 Cube as a thing of beauty, equal parts sculpture and computer. But they weren’t the only ones with strong opinions on its design. While the Power Mac G4 Cube was released 25 years ago, the philosophy behind its design lives on.Willis Lai/Foundry At the same time as it was receiving this effusive praise, the device was the butt of jokes among many punters for its usual design, with some saying it looked eerily like a tub for a box of tissues. Even Jony Ive and his team could see the funny side, and they started using old G4 Cube chassis as tissue boxes. But Apple has never been fussed about this sort of thing. It’s long pushed the boundaries of what computers should look like and what features they should have. Just look at the “trash can” Mac Pro (which could be argued is derived from the Cube) and the MacBook Pro’s Touch Bar to see evidence of that. Apple is still taking this approach today–look at the M4 Mac mini’s hidden power button. A divisive design gets people talking, and as they say, there’s no such thing as bad press. Complexity comes at a cost Speaking of the M4 Mac mini, there’s another Power Mac G4 Cube lesson to be found: it should be easy to use your device. The ports for the G4 Cube were difficult to access, but its retractable handle was magical.Binarysequence/Wikimedia You had to tip the Power Mac G4 Cube to reach essential components–in this case, its ports. Not only did that risk people scratching or tipping over the device, but it created friction for users who have to perform an inconvenient task to be able to do something frequent and routine. Forcing that in the name of beauty is not something that most people will be particularly fond of, no matter how good the device looks. In the case of the Power Mac G4 Cube, that was evidently a sacrifice that Apple felt was worth making. With the Mac mini, Apple provides two USB-C ports on the front, making it easy to plug in devices. Lesson learned. The future can wait One of my first smartphones was a slide-up Samsung device that came with touch-sensitive buttons. At first, my young brain thought this was the coolest thing in the world. But I soon realized that it was an incredible pain. I’d keep accidentally brushing the buttons with my fingers, which would delete texts I was writing or abruptly send me back to the home screen. It was a nuisance implemented in the name of cool. The Power Mac G4 Cube suffered from a similar problem thanks to its touch-sensitive power button. It could be activated with the merest glancing touch, sending your Mac to sleep midway through your work. I do not doubt that Jony Ive and friends thought it was incredibly cool, but the Power Mac G4 Cube’s collision with reality proved otherwise. Thankfully, that’s one lesson Apple has learned well. Apple has strayed from the four-quadrant philosophy that Steve Jobs came up with over 25 years ago.Apple Stay focused on what users want Upon his return to Apple, Steve Jobs implemented his famous product quadrant, which stated that the firm should produce four kinds of Macs: desktops and laptops for consumers and professionals. The Power Mac G4 Cube fit into none of these categories. It cost the same as a Power Mac but lacked its expandability. At the same time, it was much more expensive than even an upgraded iMac. In other words, both consumers and professionals lost out compared to Apple’s other devices. The question on everyone’s lips was who was going to buy the Power Mac G4 Cube. Ultimately, the answer could be found in its sales figures. In the years since Steve Jobs died, Apple has strayed further and further from the quadrant. While laptops have stayed tight and focused (Apple sells just the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, for now at least), Apple’s desktop roster has been ever-expanding. You can now choose from the iMac, the Mac mini, the Mac Studio, and the Mac Pro. And there are rumors that the iMac Pro could even make a return, too. The quadrant was an attempt to get Apple focused again, and it’s not a strict necessity these days–Apple is in a very different place now and can afford a little bloat. But the Power Mac G4 Cube shows the risks you take when that quadrant isn’t at least a consideration. Without a core audience, no product can hope to sell well.10:05 amApple sues Jon Prosser over iOS 26 leaks
Longtime leaker and YouTuber Jon Prosser is being sued by Apple over accusations that he and others accessed confidential information about iOS 26 and its Liquid Glass redesign.Jon Prosser in a still from one of his Front Page Tech videos — image credit: ProsserBack in April 2025, as one of a series of leaks, Jon Prosser claimed to show off the redesign of what was then expected to be called iOS 19.

Now Prosser and colleague Michael Ramacciott are being sued by Apple for misappropriation of trade secrets.As first spotted by MacRumors, Apple's suit alleges that Prosser and Ramacciott accessed a "significant amount of additional Apple trade secret information that has not yet been publicly disclosed."

Earlier this year, YouTuber Jon Prosser shared multiple videos showing off what he claimed to be re-created renderings of what was then presumed to be called iOS 19 and which was eventually unveiled by Apple as iOS 26 at WWDC in June. In his first video back in January, Prosser showed off a Camera app redesign with a simpler set of buttons for moving between photo and video modes, and he followed that up with a March episode of his Genius Bar podcast where he showed off the Messages app, complete with round navigation buttons at the top and rounded corners around the keyboard. And he wrapped things up with an April video that gave a more complete look at the Liquid Glass redesign that ultimately debuted in iOS 26, with rounder, glass-like interface elements, pill-shaped tab bars at the bottom of certain Apple apps, and more. While the Camera app redesign didn't exactly match what Apple unveiled for iOS 26, the general idea was correct and much of what else Prosser showed was pretty close to spot on, and Apple clearly took notice as the company filed a lawsuit today (Scribd link) against Prosser and Michael Ramacciotti for misappropriation of trade secrets. Apple's complaint outlines what it claims is the series of events that led to the leaks, which centered around a development iPhone in the possession of Ramacciotti's friend and Apple employee Ethan Lipnik. According to Apple, Prosser and Ramacciotti plotted to access Lipnik's phone, acquiring his passcode and then using location-tracking to determine when he "would be gone for an extended period." Prosser reportedly offered financial compensation to Ramacciotti in return for assisting with accessing the development iPhone. Apple says Ramacciotti accessed Lipnik's development iPhone and made a FaceTime call to Prosser, showing off iOS 26 running on the development iPhone, and that Prosser recorded the call with screen capture tools. Prosser then shared those videos with others and used them to make re-created renders of iOS 26 for his videos. Lipnik's phone contained a "significant amount of additional Apple trade secret information that has not yet been publicly disclosed," and Apple says it does not know how much of that information is in the possession of Prosser and Ramacciotti. In order to protect its trade secrets, Apple has filed the lawsuit to request an injunction against further disclosure of Apple's confidential trade secret information and is seeking damages over the misappropriation of them. Lipnik's employment with Apple has already been terminated over his failure to follow the company's policies to protect development and unreleased devices and software. Lipnik also failed to disclose the breach to Apple once he learned of it through others who recognized his apartment in the recorded FaceTime call, with Apple learning of the details from an anonymous email.

After poaching one of Apple's top artificial intelligence executives with a $200 million pay package to lure him away from the company, Meta has now hired two of his subordinates, Bloomberg reports. Apple's Mark Lee and Tom Gunter are set to join Meta's Superintelligence Labs team, a newly established division tasked with building advanced AI systems capable of performing at or beyond human-level intelligence. Earlier this month, Ruoming Pang joined Meta. Until recently, he led Apple's foundation models team. Models developed by Pang's team are used for Apple Intelligence features like email summaries, Priority Notifications, and Genmoji. Lee was Pang's first hire at Apple, while Gunter was apparently known as one of the team's most senior members. Meta has been spending heavily on new staff and engineers to keep up with advancements from OpenAI and Google. Apple is reportedly now offering some engineers raises in an effort to retain them, but they are still substantially less than Meta's offers. Bloomberg notes that the three departures "reflect the continuing turmoil at the Apple Foundation Models team." Apple is now believed to be considering a major change of strategy by using external models from the likes of OpenAI or Anthropic to power Siri and other Apple Intelligence features due to the shortcomings of its own models. Apple is simultaneously developing versions with both its own models and third-party technology, and has not yet decided which to use as the foundation for Apple Intelligence beginning next year.Tags: Artificial Intelligence, Bloomberg, Mark Gurman, MetaThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums02:35 amHow’s your experience with ARKit?

NBC-owned streaming service Peacock is increasing its prices, and the ad-supported plan will soon be $3 more expensive. According to Variety, Peacock's ad-supported plan will be priced at $10.99 per month starting on July 23. The Premium Plus plan that features limited ads in live programming is also increasing in price from $13.99 to $16.99. Yearly pricing for the Premium plan will be $110, and the Premium Plus yearly price will be $170. This is the third price increase that Peacock has introduced in the last three years, and Variety claims that NBCUniversal executives believe that the service is underpriced compared to competing streaming services. At $11 per month, Peacock's ad-supported tier will be more expensive than ad-supported options from Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, and Paramount+. Peacock is testing a lower-priced "Select" plan that features NBC and Bravo current seasons and a limited number of library titles. The plan will be priced at $7.99 per month. While price increases will hit new subscribers on July 23, existing subscribers can expect to have to pay the higher fees starting after August 22 depending on their next billing date.Tag: PeacockThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums11:15 pmApple Arcade Games Get Special SpongeBob SquarePants Events

OpenAI gives several examples of how ChatGPT agent can be used: Look at my calendar and brief me on upcoming client meetings based on recent news. Plan and buy ingredients to make Japanese breakfast for four. Analyze three competitors and create a slide deck. The ChatGPT agent uses its own virtual computer, and it will navigate websites, filter results, prompt users to log into websites when needed, and deliver summaries of its findings. It is designed to seek permission before taking any "actions of consequence," and OpenAI says that users can interrupt tasks to add extra instructions, and stop tasks at any point. ChatGPT agent is rolling out starting today for Pro, Plus, and Team users. Just select "agent mode" from the dropdown menu in the composer during a conversation. ChatGPT users are able to transition between conversations and action requests within the same chat. Pro users will get access by the end of today, while Plus and Team users will get access over the next few days. OpenAI plans to add the functionality for Enterprise and Education users in the coming weeks.

Without further ado, here’s the list: Apple Core Ballet Dancers Distorted Face Fight Cloud Hairy Creature (it looks like Bigfoot) Orca Treasure Chest Trombone The only emoji that didn’t make the cut is landslide. The new emoji will be part of the Unicode 17.0 release, which is scheduled for this fall. They won’t be available when iOS 26 arrives in September, however. Since Apple adopts its own style for new emojis, this set will likely be available in a later iOS 26 update, likely in early 2026. For example, the latest set announced in 2024 was released as part of iOS 18.4 in March. iOS 26 will also allow users to mix their favorite emoji with Apple Intelligence’s Genmoji feature. The Unicode Consortium is a nonprofit foundation that maintains the Unicode Standard, a set of standards used to make sure text and emoji maintain their integrity across platforms. Every year, Unicode releases a new set of emojis, based on submitted proposals. Anyone can submit an emoji proposal online, and Unicode also has an Adopt a Character program that helps fund the foundation. Apple made its own emoji-related announcement on Thursday with the release of the new Emoji Game on its Apple News+ service. The object of Emoji Game is to complete word phrases by interpreting a given set of emoji. If you’re in the spirit of Word Emoji Day, play the game, then check out the World Emoji Awards and rock out to the World Emoji Day anthem.

In an interview this week with CNBC's Alex Sherman, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred confirmed that Apple, NBC, and ESPN have each bid on the media rights to MLB's "Sunday Night Baseball" package, for the 2026 through 2028 seasons. Manfred said he plans to choose a winning bidder for "Sunday Night Baseball" within the month, and the rights could be split up between two bidders. ESPN held the rights to "Sunday Night Baseball" through the 2028 season, but the network and MLB mutually opted out of the $550-million contract earlier this year, so ESPN's rights now expire after the 2025 season. Apple is now looking to pick up those final three seasons, along with NBC, and even ESPN is looking to renegotiate a deal. Apple TV+ already streams MLB's Friday Night Baseball games, and the service could offer Sunday Night Baseball too if Apple wins the rights. Following the 2028 season, all regional and national MLB media rights will be expired, and the league is hoping to table a bigger all-in-one package of rights. Apple would likely be very interested in such a package, as it would allow the company to offer an MLB equivalent of MLS Season Pass through the Apple TV app. However, MLB is much bigger than MLS, so it remains to be seen if MLB would be willing to go all-in with Apple. Apple continues to push into sports content, with the company reportedly likely to secure the rights to Formula 1 racing. In the past, the company unsuccessfully bid on NFL's "Sunday Ticket" package, and on the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.Tags: Apple TV Plus, MLBThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums07:00 pmApple a leading bidder for MLB ‘Sunday Night Baseball’ rights

The main feature is that it has a swappable layout. It offers three of them: Atomic Innie Layout: this is the layout that best resembles the one used by the Macrodata Refinement department in Severance. It lacks an Escape button, Option button, and Control button. (If you watch the show, then you can’t help but see the symbolism in that.) It also has those six strange buttons atop and below the arrow keys, and a trackball. Atomic Outie Layout: A 60 percent keyboard layout that you’d use regularly. Atomic Dasher Layout: this layout is the same as the one on the Data General Dasher 200, the keyboard that is the inspiration for the MDR Dasher Keyboard. The keyboard has a magnetic mid-frame that allows for the layout swapping, which Atomic Keyboard says can be done “in seconds.” Interested in the keyboard? Atomic Keyboard is accepting reservations for $10, which will lock in the $599 price once the Kickstarter event goes live, and you’ll also get a free deskmat. After the early adopter, the tier 1 Kickstarter price is $649, the tier 2 Kickstarter in $699, and the retail price is $899. The keyboard is expected to start shipping in November.Firehose II – Jobs, Deals, Apps
