A new hands-on video of an iPhone 17 Air dummy model has surfaced, providing a closer look at the rumored design of Apple's thinnest iPhone ever. According to Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 17 Air will measure just 5.5mm at its thinnest point, surpassing the 6.9mm record held by the iPhone 6. However, to achieve this impressively thin and lightweight design, the device is expected to have some compromises compared to iPhone 17 Pro models, including worse battery life, only a single rear camera, only a single speaker, and an A19 chip instead of an A19 Pro chip. iPhone 16 Pro models are 8.25mm thick, so the iPhone 17 Air would be 33% thinner than those devices, if Kuo is accurate. This ultra-thin design can be seen in the hands-on video, along with some of the device's other rumored features, including a 6.6-inch display with a Dynamic Island, a single 48-megapixel rear camera on a wide pill-shaped bump, a USB-C port, a single speaker, an Action button, and a Camera Control button. iPhone 17 Air Black looks so good pic.twitter.com/ovOTNUKEg6— Majin Bu (@MajinBuOfficial) July 8, 2025 Other rumored iPhone 17 Air features include MagSafe and 12GB of RAM, and Apple reportedly plans to release an optional battery case for the device. The device is also expected to lack a physical SIM card slot worldwide, meaning it will rely entirely on eSIM technology, even outside of the United States. Apple will likely unveil the iPhone 17 Air in early September, so there are only around two months to go until the device is finally official.Related Roundup: iPhone 17 AirRelated Forum: iPhoneThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums25 minutes agoHow to autofill passwords, email addresses and more on iPhone

It's about moving all of the sensors into the Apple Pencil, rather than relying on it interacting with ones in an iPad.

Like previous iPhone software updates, iOS 26 adds several new features to Apple's AirPods. While iOS 26 will be officially released this fall, there's nothing stopping you from installing the latest iOS 26 beta – and getting access to the new AirPods features today. New AirPods Features Apple's upcoming iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe updates add the following new features to AirPods, thanks to an AirPods firmware update (more on that below). Controls for the new features are also listed. Pause Audio for Sleep: If you're listening to music, a podcast, or a book while you're in bed and you're wearing AirPods, the AirPods will pause your audio when you fall asleep. (Settings ➝ [Your Name]'s AirPods ➝ Pause Media When Falling Asleep.) Camera Remote: AirPods can be used as a camera remote with the Camera app on iPhone or iPad. Just press and hold on the AirPods stem to take a photo or start a video recording. (Settings ➝ [Your Name]'s AirPods ➝ Camera Remote.) Keep Audio in Headphones: When you use AirPods, you can opt to keep audio in your headphones when other playback devices like cars and speakers connect to the iPhone. (Settings ➝ General ➝ AirPlay & Continuity ➝ Keep Audio with Headphones.) Improved Call Quality: The H2 chip in the AirPods 4 and AirPods Pro 2 brings more natural vocal texture and clarity to voice recordings, iPhone calls, FaceTime calls, and all CallKit-enabled apps like Zoom. (No change in Settings necessary.) How to Get the New AirPods Features Step 1: Install iOS 26 Beta In order to gain access to the new AirPods features in beta, you'll first need an iPhone or iPad running iOS 26 beta or iPadOS 26 beta, respectively. Apple has released the beta versions to developers, but even non-developers can download beta software updates on their iPhones and iPads for free. Follow this link to learn how it's done, then meet us back here. Of course, if you have reservations about installing the developer beta on your main device, you can always wait for the public beta that will be released very shortly. Apple said to expect availability sometime in the month of July. Step 2: Install AirPods Beta Firmware Once you have your device running the iOS 26/iPadOS 26 beta, you need to give Apple permission to install beta firmware on your AirPods. Connect your AirPods to your iPhone or iPad, then open Settings ➝ [Your Name]'s AirPods. Swipe to the bottom of the menu and tap AirPods Beta Updates. Toggle on the switch next to AirPods Beta Updates to the green ON position. After you've completed these steps, the firmware update will be installed automatically when your AirPods are in their charging case and near to your iPhone or iPad. This could take anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes, so be patient. Once the firmware update is complete, additional options to control the new AirPods features will appear within the Settings app, in the menu screens described above. Bear in mind that the new features are in beta and as a result cannot be guaranteed to work consistently.

As ever with a patent, it seeks to describe technology without particularly giving examples of its practical use, but for once, it gives a little list of devices such cameras could be fitted to.

Samsung first showed off its OLED M9 Smart Monitor back in January at CES, but now the 32-inch Mac-compatible display is launching. We were able to check it out early to see how it performs with a Mac. Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos. Samsung's M line is marketed as an all-in-one display that's ideal for work, watching content, and gaming, and it does deliver. The M9 is Samsung's premium display, and it's priced at $1,599, so it's on par with the Studio Display. The M9 uses OLED technology and it's 4K, while the Studio Display has an LED panel with a 5K resolution. Samsung's display is basically a little OLED TV that works with your Mac, and while it's not as sharp as an OLED TV or as crisp as the Studio Display with its 5K resolution, it's impressive to look at. You're limited to 60Hz with the Studio Display, but the M9 supports up to 165Hz, and Macs support up to 120Hz, so you get smoother scrolling and gameplay with the M9. Samsung is using AI-based 4K upscaling to improve lower resolution content. When it comes to design, the M9 is sleek and modern looking, and the wide stand is not too far off from the Studio Display. The M9 is adjustable, so you can tweak the height and the tilt, and turn the display vertical if you want. At the top and bottom of the display, there are thicker bezels. The top bezel includes a built-in 4K webcam and a microphone, plus the display has included speakers. For connectivity, Samsung included an HDMI 2.1 port, a DisplayPort, a USB-C port with 90W power delivery, and two USB-A ports. Samsung says it included a unique cooling system with a coolant that can diffuse heat five times faster than a graphite sheet, which better prevents burn-ins. The monitor also detects static images like logos and drops the brightness. This is a "smart" display with built-in AI, so you can stream content from apps like Netflix right from the monitor, plus you can stream games with no PC. The smart component is what really sets it apart from the Studio Display on a software level, while the 4K resolution, display size, and OLED display technology are the main hardware differences. The M9 isn't a direct competitor to the Studio Display because the two monitors have different functions, but it is worth considering if you're looking for a great multifunction display for work and play. Samsung's new M9 Smart Monitor can be ordered from Samsung's website for $1,599. Note: MacRumors is an affiliate partner with Samsung.

A new leak has revealed several of Apple's next-generation chips coming to future iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and HomePod mini models. Last month, an individual in China uploaded a YouTube video (with English subtitles) of an alleged iPhone 16 engineering prototype from last year. According to a MacRumors tipster, the device is running an internal build of iOS 18 from March 2024, but it is a non-UI version, meaning that you cannot load the Home Screen or other interfaces. Within the code for this internal iOS 18 build, there are codenames and identifiers for many upcoming Apple chips, according to the video and our tipster:A19 chip for the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, and likely iPhone 17e A19 Pro chip for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max M5 chip for the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac mini, iMac, iPad Pro, and Vision Pro M5 Pro chip for the MacBook Pro and Mac mini S11 chip for the Apple Watch Series 11, Apple Watch Ultra 3, and Apple Watch SE 3 C2 modem for the iPhone 17e, likely the entire iPhone 18 lineup, and more Proxima, the codename for an all-new Apple-designed Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip for the next Apple TV and HomePod mini models and moreMost of those are obvious one-number-higher-than-currently chips, but the all-new "Proxima" chip is a little more interesting. The chip was first reported on last year by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, and he said that it would be included in new Apple TV and HomePod mini models launching later this year. He also expects at least some iPhone 17 models to use the chip, along with future iPad and Mac models starting next year. Similar to how Apple ditched Intel for Mac processors, and how it has started transitioning away from Qualcomm for iPhone modems, the company's planned Wi-Fi and Bluetooth combo chip will allow it to replace a chip that is currently supplied by Broadcom. Apple's chip is expected to support Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7, which would be an upgrade for the Apple TV (currently on Wi-Fi 6) and the HomePod mini (currently on Wi-Fi 4). Our tipster also claimed that Apple has tested a Mac Pro with an M3 Ultra chip, but it is unclear if it will be released at this point. They also uncovered evidence that Apple has no plans to release an M4 Ultra chip, as the company already strongly implied, so it is possible that the Mac Pro might not be updated until an M5 Ultra chip is ready.Related Roundups: Apple TV, HomePod mini, iOS 18, iPadOS 18Buyer's Guide: Apple TV (Don't Buy), HomePod Mini (Caution)Related Forums: Apple TV and Home Theater, HomePod, HomeKit, CarPlay, Home & Auto Technology, iOS 18, iPadOS 18This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums01:46 pmApple Watch Series 10 Drops to $279.99 Record Low Price for Prime Day

Macworld Even at full price, we really like the AirPods 4 with ANC as an affordable alternative to AirPods Pro, but at this price, they’re impossible to pass up. Amazon has slashed the price of the AirPods 4 to $119, a savings of $60, and by far the very best price we’ve seen for these buds. This discount is that much more impressive considering the previous “best price” was just under $150, so being able to get them for $30 under that is just crazy. How crazy? They’re actually cheaper than Apple’s regular price for the model without ANC! The AirPods 4 with ANC are absolutely fantastic, earning a 4.5-star rating when we reviewed them. We were utterly impressed with the overall audio quality and just how good noise canceling is, considering there are no silicone tips involved to create that seal. Our testing found the buds deliver not just good noiuse cancellation, but also great clarity and volume when talking, while the Conversation Awareness feature really is a star as it detects your voice and lowers the volume automatically to whatever you’re listening to. Battery life is also great, even when ANC is involved, delivering some 4 hours of listening time and another 20 hours when using the included charging case. With ANC off, you’ll get 5 hours of playtime and 30 in the case. The case can be charged wirelessly, so you can finally get one of those fancy 3-in-1 wireless chargers for your desk. Stop wasting time and get the AirPods 4 with ANC for $119 as there’s no way we’re getting a better price before maaaaybe Black Friday.

Bluesky is rolling out some updates to enhance its notifications system, offering users of the social media platform and X (Twitter) rival a more customizable alerts experience. First, there's a new Activity Notifications that enables you to receive alerts only for specific accounts, which is useful if you want to keep up to date with a particular friend, brand, or media outlet – like MacRumors, for instance. Enabling this feature is similar to how it works on X: visit a profile and tap the bell icon to receive notifications every time that account publishes a new post. Meanwhile, as part of wider notification preference updates, users can now opt to receive notifications only when certain accounts reply to them. Other new options also include individual alert customizations for new followers, likes, replies, mentions, quotes, and reposts. Each option can be set to apply only to accounts the user follows or to everyone, or they can be disabled entirely. Bluesky said that its previous "priority notifications" feature has been removed. This feature let users receive notifications only from accounts they follow. To replicate this behavior now, users need to manually set their reply, mention, and quote notifications to "people you follow only." Bluesky has over 34 million active users, according to the company. That's still a lot less than Meta's Threads in total users, but the platform continues to gain popularity as an alternative to X.

Macworld Prime Day is great for savings big bucks on iPads and AirPods, but it’s also a fantastic time to get Apple’s cheaper devices for even less. Like AirTags. Amazon is selling a four-pack of AirTags for $68, $31 off the usual $99 price and a mere $17 per tag, the lowest price we’ve ever seen. As small as these things are, they’re soooo useful to have on hand. You add one to your keychain, one to your luggage, one to your dog’s collar, and another to your laptop bag, and you’ll always know where everything is using your iPhone’s Find My app. They’re simple to set up and forget about until you need it. When we reviewed the AirTags, we gave these trackers a four-star rating and were impressed with the shockingly small design as well as the removable battery. But the best part is how well it can track stuff. If the AirTag is within Bluetooth range, the Find My app will quickly locate it, and even if you lose something thousands of miles across the globe, it will use the vast Find My network to reveal its location to you. So stop wasting time and grab a four-pack of AirTags for $68 this Prime Day. Don’t forget to also check out the best Prime Day deals we found on everything Apple sells.

Apple plans to launch a second-generation iPhone 17e next spring, reports Korean outlet The Elec. According to the report, the iPhone 17e will use the same OLED panel as that found in the iPhone 16e – a panel that originally debuted in the iPhone 14 – as part of its efforts to use lower-cost components based on established production lines. Similar to the iPhone 16e, which launched in February of this year starting $599, BOE and Samsung are said to be supplying the display panels, though LG Display may also be involved. The iPhone 16e offers a 6.1-inch OLED display, Face ID, an A18 chip, and a USB-C port, positioning it as a more affordable alternative within the iPhone 16 family. Back in April, one leaker claimed that iPhone 17e was nearing the trial production stage, with the mid-range device tentatively scheduled for a May release. Since then, industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has predicted that Apple will launch a second-generation iPhone 17e in the first half of next year. It is not expected to be the last of its kind. Looking further ahead, Kuo said a third-generation "e" device will reportedly be released alongside the standard iPhone 18 in the first half of 2027. The unusual timing is because Apple is said to be launching the standard iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e in the spring – a full six months after the iPhone 18 Pro models – as part of its switch to a split iPhone yearly launch strategy.Related Roundup: iPhone 17Tag: The ElecRelated Forum: iPhoneThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums11:27 amApple A19, C2, M5 chip identifiers all leaked in early iOS 18 code

Here’s why you should switch from a MacBook to a desktop
Macworld With Prime Day savings offering gobs of money off some of the best Macs, now is a great time to buy a new Apple computer. One of the biggest decisions you’ll have to make when buying a new Mac is whether you should buy a desktop model or opt for a laptop instead. Apple’s laptops might seem like the best choice, with a combination of portability and price, but Apple also offers a great selection of desktops, from the teeny-tiny M4 Mac mini to the all-in-one iMac. So the next time you’re shopping for a new Mac, consider joining Team Desktop and opting for one of Apple’s less portable Macs instead of a MacBook. Stationary comfort Let’s face it, hunching over a MacBook for hours on end does your body no favors. You’ll typically use your laptop on an arm-level surface, whether that’s a desk or on your lap, and that means you’ve got to crane your head downwards to see its screen. Over time, that can cause serious pain in your back and neck. MacBooks are great when you’re traveling, but there’s nothing like a comfy desk chair and an eye-level monitor.Apple Believe me, I know. I used a laptop all through my college years, and by the end of it, I dreaded sitting down at my desk to work because of the pain that would inevitably accompany it. In the end, I had to ditch the device and get a desktop instead so that I could create a more ergonomic setup. That meant a monitor at eye level and a separate keyboard positioned just right. Sure, you can hook up a monitor to a MacBook or get a riser to avoid this ergonomic nightmare, but a lot of people don’t—either they don’t have a spare monitor, want a more compact workstation, or think it’s just too much cost and hassle to set up. With a desktop Mac, you have a far more comfortable arrangement, letting you dodge the backache and neck pain for good. Power trip Ever since Apple switched to its own Apple silicon chips, the Mac has come on leaps and bounds. But while both form factors offer plenty of grunt, desktop Macs have a lot more headroom for top performance. That’s because when portability isn’t a concern, Apple can use more spacious cases to eke out higher performance. A larger case means more space for effective cooling systems, and that in turn gives your Mac’s chip more breathing room. You can see that in desktop Macs like the Mac Studio, which comes with an M3 Ultra chip that would likely run too hot to sit comfortably in a tightly packed MacBook. And it’s also true of the M4, which can run at higher sustained speeds in the Mac mini due to its fans. And there’s another benefit of having a larger case: more ports. The MacBook Air and MacBook Pro only have two thin edges to fit ports, as well as less internal space for these components to go. On a desktop Mac, there’s more room to play with, and they typically come with a greater number and wider variety of expansion slots. Multiple displays will open your eyes to the beauty of a desktop setup.Apple Seeing is believing When you buy a MacBook, the display comes as part of the deal, up to 16 inches. But you get that too if you buy an iMac, but here, the included screen is far more expansive, stretching to 24 inches. That gives you a much more enjoyable workspace—and much less squinting to boot. And if you get a Mac mini, you can connect any display you want since the computer barely takes up any room. You could connect a MacBook to a large display, of course, but that means you’d need to buy a second monitor. And even if you did that, a MacBook plus a monitor takes up more space on your desk than an all-in-one package like the iMac. Apple’s all-in-one is a sleeker, more streamlined solution. And you’ll get a keyboard and a mouse too. Plug in and play Speaking of hooking up accessories, you already have, this is one great benefit of a desktop Mac. Devices like the Mac mini and Mac Studio can be connected to any monitor, mouse, and keyboard you like, giving you great flexibility in crafting your ideal setup. You don’t need to rely on what Apple deems to be the perfect keyboard and trackpad experience. You can play by your own rules. This works with a MacBook as well, but it doesn’t quite feel optimal. If you use a separate mouse and keyboard, you can’t just make the MacBook’s trackpad and keyboard disappear, meaning they needlessly take up space on your desk. And if you want to use the MacBook in clamshell mode to combat this issue, that’s more hassle to set up. None of that works quite as well as just using a desktop Mac. You can also easily hook up or dock and arrange things the way you want on your desk without needing to continuously plug and unplug your devices to create the ultimate workstation. It’s a small convenience we know, but it’s one that desktop Mac users wouldn’t give up for anything. Accessories will make your desktop personal and take your desktop Mac to the next level.Apple All-around value Because some desktop Macs, such as the Mac mini and Mac Studio, don’t come with a display, mouse, or keyboard, their asking prices start much lower. The Mac mini, for example, costs as little as $599, while the cheapest Apple laptop, meanwhile, is the MacBook Air, which will set you back almost twice as much. Granted, you might need to buy peripherals for the Mac mini, but if you already have them, you can take advantage of some great savings. The iMac, meanwhile, is more expensive at $1,299, but it also includes a 4.5K display, Magic Mouse or Trackpad, and a Magic Keyboard. It’s almost impossible to match that price with a MacBook Air and separate peripherals. The elephant in the room, of course, is the Mac Pro, and its base price of $6,999 is eye-wateringly expensive, especially for an M2 Ultra chip. But it’s the outlier in Apple’s lineup, where desktop Macs generally offer a more affordable way to access peak performance. Just look at the Mac Studio: its M4 Max model starts at $1,999. The M4 Max MacBook Pro? That’ll set you back at least $3,199. Never in the red Because Apple assumes you’ll be stationary when working on a desktop Mac (even if the Mac mini is small enough to be portable), it also assumes you don’t need a battery. Every desktop Mac, therefore, has a plug, which means you don’t need to worry about it running out of juice. As well as that, you also don’t need to be concerned with degrading the battery of a desktop Mac. Batteries inevitably undergo wear and tear over many years of usage, and that eventually leads to MacBooks not lasting as long on a single charge as they used to. Got a desktop Mac instead? Then that’s never a concern.11:11 amBest Mac Prime Day 2025 deals

And $119 for the AirPods 4 with ANC is incredible too. We don’t expect updates to the standard AirPods or AirPods Max until at least 2026, so these prices are a great time to buy those models.

David Price / Foundry Prime Day iPhone deals If you’re in the U.S., Amazon is not the place to go to buy a new iPhone 16 (though there are occasional deals on renewed models); however, in other countries, including the U.K., you will find the latest iPhones at Amazon at lower prices. Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 17 in September, so we expect big discounts on the iPhone 16 models as Amazon looks to clear out stock. iPhone 16e (128GB): £494 (£105 off, RRP £599) PRIME DAY DEAL iPhone 16e (512GB): £594 (£105 off, RRP £699) PRIME DAY DEAL iPhone 16e (512GB): £794 (£105 off, RRP £899) PRIME DAY DEAL iPhone 16 (128GB): £698 (£100 off, RRP £799) iPhone 16 (512GB): £999 (£100 off, RRP £1,099) iPhone 16 Plus (128GB): £799 (£100, RRP £899) iPhone 16 Plus (512GB): £1,099 (£100, RRP £1,199) iPhone 16 Pro (128GB): £898 (£100, RRP £999) iPhone 16 Pro (512GB): £1,198 (£100, RRP £1,299) iPhone 16 Pro Max (512GB): £1,298 (£100, RRP £1,399) iPhone 15 (128GB): £598 (£100 off, RRP £699) iPhone 15 Plus (128GB): £698 (£100 off, RRP £799) For more deals see our Best Amazon Prime Day iPhone deals.

Prime Day iPad deals Apple’s entire iPad lineup has been updated in the past 14 months, so we expect to see all models on sale with all-time-low savings. Just note, the cheapest iPad with an A16 processor doesn’t run Apple intelligence like the other models, so you’ll miss out on the upcoming new Siri features. But for under $300, it’s still a fantastic deal and look for at least $100 off the other models. To see if other resellers are offering better deals, take a look at our Best iPad deals roundup.

Apple Prime Day Apple Watch deals Apple is expected to launch a new Apple Watch Series 11 in the fall, so we’re seeing over $100 off on the current model as Amazon looks to clear out stock.

Apple Prime Day MacBook deals Apple has updated its entire MacBook lineup with the M4 processor, so we expect to see significant savings of up to $500, depending on the model and configuration. Of note, all models start with 16GB of RAM, and all M4 MacBook Air models are $100 cheaper than their M3 counterparts. There may be an M5 update launching later this year, but rumors suggest it will merely be a spec bump, so grab a deal while you can.

The products picked here are all chosen by our editors, who have decades of experience with Apple devices. We’ve reviewed everything we recommend, and we won’t tell you to buy something that’s not worth it. We know Apple is expensive, so we’ve chosen products at prices we would be willing to pay, so you can trust that our recommendations will steer you in the right direction—and save you big bucks. The products here are all at or near all-time lows, and we’ve selected what we think is the more popular configuration for each product type. One tip: When you click on a good deal—even if it’s from a Macworld page—check that the product isn’t redirected to a refurbished model and that the current manufacturer’s price is listed, as that can make the price drop look a lot better than it is. And if a product here is listed as sold out on Amazon, we recommend checking back periodically as Amazon has been known to restock Prime Day deals throughout the sale.

Best Apple Watch deals for Prime Day 2025 Apple is gearing up to launch the Apple Watch Series 11, SE 3, and Ultra 3 in September, but rumors suggest these new products won’t bring any must-have features. So the Series 10, Ultra 2, and SE 2 are excellent options, especially at discounted prices. Several Series 10 models are $100 off right now, and while we don’t know if Prime Day will bring even lower prices, that is as low as we’ve ever seen. Plus, all models will get an update to watchOS 26 in the fall with loads of smart new capabilities. Our main tip: avoid the cellular model unless you really need it. It costs more than the standard model and it isn’t necessary to have cellular capabilities on your Apple Watch.

Macworld Apple’s ongoing fight with regulators over App Store rules can get pretty confusing at times. Sometimes it’s hard to know whether regulators are being over-zealous in their required changes, or when Apple’s rules are simply patently unfair. But this week we have good news! At least one issue is a lot simpler because we now have the perfect example of why Apple’s anti-steering policy and the company’s subsequent ham-fisted efforts to… Wait, is it a mixed metaphor to say “hamstring” here or is it just chef’s kiss kind of perfect? Ham-fisted means the company is being rough and imprecise in its dealings, much as if it had honey-baked hams for hands. Hamstringing is when you cut someone’s knee tendons, known as the hamstrings, in order to impede them. So, Apple is clumsily attempting to impede developers. Verdict: not mixing metaphors. What was the Macalope saying? Oh, Apple’s ham-fisted efforts to hamstring developers’ using payment methods outside the App Store by throwing up warning messages is nothing but fear-mongering. And since it was brought to us by a small company you may not have heard of, let the Macalope just put on some novelty-sized glasses and pretend to be reading the name off a long, perforated sheet of green and white dot matrix printer paper as if he is a scientist in a ‘70s disaster film… Says “Apple”. Huh. If you’d like to receive regular news and updates to your inbox, sign up for our newsletters, including The Macalope and Apple Breakfast, David Price’s weekly, bite-sized roundup of all the latest Apple news and rumors.IDG That can’t be right. Ah, but it is. As MG Siegler first noted on Threads last week (tip o’ the antlers to Daring Fireball), Apple has been caught not practicing as it preached. And not mildly but in a more “televangelist who preaches against the perils of liquor not only gets caught drunk driving but is later found to own a craft bourbon distillery on the side” kind of way. As part of its “F1 – The Movie” marketing blitz, Apple put full-screen ads for buying tickets to the movie in the TV app on iOS 18. That’s gross enough coming on the heels of Apple basically putting notifications about the movie everywhere but, well, the Macalope was going to say Pages but honestly, he’s not sure the company didn’t put “F1” notifications in Pages. To make matters worse, however, clicking the link to buy tickets in the ad sent users to a purchase page in a way that is remarkably devoid of any of the kinds of warnings about buying things on the web that Apple is forcing developers to put in their apps when they do exactly the same thing. These are the requirements that Apple is currently appealing a 500 million Euro fine for inflicting on developers. The European Commission announced the fine in April under its Digital Markets Act, saying that the iPhone maker ran afoul of rules related to allowing developers to steer users to make purchases outside of its store. If the EU’s lawyers have not taken note of Apple apparent nonchalance with the having of cake and also being able to eat it, they might want to jot down some notes. According to Apple: …the EC is mandating how we run our store and forcing business terms which are confusing for developers and bad for users. As opposed to the very non-confusing terms Apple is mandating, which require all kinds of warnings when being directed to purchase digital goods via a website but not needing any when doing the same for physical goods. Mmmkay. Also, it’s literally the job of the EC to tell companies how to run their businesses in its member nations. So, complaining about it mandating how you run your store is like complaining about a home plate umpire keeping track of balls and strikes. It is ironic that it is the company’s over-the-top push on “F1” that is tripping it up. Hey, we tried to tell Apple the “F1” promotions were over the top. It wouldn’t listen. Much like on the anti-steering policy.10:28 amBest iPad Prime Day 2025 deals

A unique blue finish will be the "main" color option of the all-new iPhone 17 Air, according to a rumor coming out of Asia. The iPhone 13 Pro's "Sierra Blue" finish (2021). According to the Weibo leaker known as "Fixed Focus Digital," blue is highly likely to be the "main color" of the iPhone 17 Air upon its launch later this year, placed at the forefront of Apple's marketing materials. The leaker went on to explain that the iPhone 17 Air's blue finish is "different from all the blue colors released by Apple in the past." The finish is apparently "very light," and in low-light conditions, could be "easy to confuse with white." The rumor bears a resemblance to the Apple's "Sierra Blue" finish, which was the standout color offered on the iPhone 13 Pro. Sierra Blue was the first "Pro" iPhone color option to use a lighter shade that was still saturated with color. Sierra Blue was a unique metallic, almost icy look, that could appear blue in some conditions, and light grey in others. Apple went on to further experiment with even paler pastel glass and aluminum colors with the iPhone 15 models. Fixed Focus Digital has a mixed track record for Apple rumors. While the leaker has had some major wins, such as reporting that the fourth-generation iPhone SE would in fact be the "iPhone 16e" and the iPhone 16 Pro's Gold Titanium color option, other claims have been inaccurate. The iPhone 17 Air is expected to debut alongside the rest of the new iPhone lineup in the fall.Related Roundup: iPhone 17 AirTag: Fixed Focus DigitalRelated Forum: iPhoneThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums06:34 amBOE Becomes Apple's Biggest MacBook Display Supplier
Chinese display maker BOE is poised to overtake all rivals as Apple's largest supplier of MacBook panels in 2025, but the company's newfound dominance may not last for long with OLED MacBook Pro models on the horizon for next year. According to market research firm Omdia, BOE is expected to capture 51% of Apple's MacBook display panel orders this year, up from 39% in 2024. The increase is primarily attributed to Apple's expanded procurement of LCD panels for the MacBook Air lineup, which now comes in 13.6-inch and 15.3-inch sizes. BOE is projected to ship approximately 11.5 million units to Apple in 2025, representing the first time the Chinese manufacturer will supply more than half of the display panels used across Apple's MacBook lineup. Omdia believes that Apple's growing demand for MacBook Air panels was instrumental to the change. Apple is forecast to purchase 22.5 million display panels for MacBooks in total this year, representing a 1% increase year-over-year. Although the increase in procurement volume is modest, the redistribution of orders among suppliers is considerable. LG Display has historically been Apple's primary MacBook display supplier. It is now expected to supply only 8.48 million units in 2025, corresponding to a 35% market share. This marks a 12.2% decline in LG Display's shipment volume and a 9% point decrease in its share compared to the previous year. Sharp continues to supply mini-LED panels for the MacBook Pro and it is forecast to supply 3.1 million units to Apple in 2025. This represents a 20.8% year-over-year decline in shipment volume and corresponds to a 14% market share. Omdia believes that weakening demand for MacBook Pro models has affected the supply volumes of LG Display and Sharp, as Apple redirects a greater proportion of orders to BOE. Omdia noted that BOE's resurgence may not last for long; Apple is expected to upgrade the MacBook Pro to OLED technology next year: OLED technology, with its superior display performance and slimmer, lighter form factors, is expected to be introduced in MacBooks starting 2026. Samsung Display is likely to join Apple's MacBook supply chain at that time, intensifying competition among display makers as the market shifts from LCD to OLED. Until OLED panels begin shipping, BOE is expected to retain its dominant position in the MacBook display supply chain, largely due to the strength of the MacBook Air in Apple's product lineup. For now, BOE's 12% point gain year-over-year gives it a clear lead over its South Korean and Japanese rivals.Tags: BOE, LCD, LG Display, OLED, OmdiaThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums05:51 amIs the iOS App template removed in Xcode 16.4?

Apple has asked a U.S. federal appeals court to overturn an import ban on Apple Watch models with blood oxygen monitoring capabilities, arguing that the decision was based on a patent dispute involving an undeveloped competing product, Reuters reports. On Monday, attorneys for Apple appeared before a three-judge panel at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to contest a 2023 ruling by the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that blocked imports of the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 in 2023 due to alleged patent infringement. The ban stemmed from a complaint filed by Masimo, a medical technology firm based in California, which accused Apple of violating its patents related to pulse oximetry — the measurement of blood oxygen saturation through non-invasive sensors. Apple's legal counsel this week argued that the ITC's ruling was unjustified because, at the time Masimo filed its complaint in 2021, the company had not yet brought a competing product to market. Masimo's first smartwatch, the W1, which included blood oxygen tracking, was not released until 2022 — two years after Apple introduced the feature with the Apple Watch Series 6. Apple maintains that Masimo's device was not market-ready when the company filed its complaint, and that the legal standard should not permit hypothetical products to justify trade restrictions. The decision had wrongly "deprived millions of Apple Watch users" of the blood-oxygen feature, Apple's attorney said. Masimo's attorney countered that Apple was attempting to "rewrite the law" by asserting that the ITC should only block imports when a physical, commercialized product exists at the time of complaint filing. The ITC originally ruled in Masimo's favor in October 2023, determining that Apple's implementation of blood oxygen measurement technology infringed several of Masimo's patents. As a result, the commission issued an exclusion order blocking imports of Apple Watch models that included the contested functionality. Following a brief stay granted by the Federal Circuit in December 2023, the import ban was reinstated in January 2024. Apple subsequently modified its devices for the U.S. market, disabling the blood oxygen sensor in newly sold Series 9, Series 10, and Ultra 2 models in order to resume domestic sales without violating the order. International models retain full functionality. The case remains under consideration by the Federal Circuit. A ruling is expected later this year.Related Roundups: Apple Watch 10, Apple Watch Ultra 2Tags: Apple Lawsuits, MasimoBuyer's Guide: Apple Watch (Caution), Apple Watch Ultra (Neutral)Related Forum: Apple WatchThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums02:29 amKingston IronKey Vault Privacy 80 Encrypted SSD review: Ultra-secure SSD with hard drive speed | AppleInsiderKingston IronKey Vault Privacy 80 Encrypted SSD review: Ultra-secure SSD with hard drive speed

Apple is once again under pressure from the Trump administration over its dependence on Chinese manufacturing, as senior trade advisor Peter Navarro publicly criticized CEO Tim Cook for failing to shift iPhone production to the United States. In an interview on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street," White House Senior Counselor for trade and manufacturing Peter Navarro sharply criticized Apple's global manufacturing strategy, focusing on its continued reliance on China for iPhone production. Navarro accused Apple CEO Tim Cook of delaying efforts to relocate operations and claimed that the company had made insufficient progress: Going back to the first Trump term, Tim Cook has continually asked for more time in order to move his factories out of China. I mean, it's the longest running soap opera in Silicon Valley. And my problem with Tim Cook is he never takes the steps to actually do that. And with all these new advanced manufacturing techniques and the way things are moving with AI and things like that, it's inconceivable to me that Tim Cook could not produce his iPhones elsewhere around the world and in this country. Multiple industry analysts and economists have warned that reshoring Apple's production facilities to the United States would face serious logistical, economic, and labor-related barriers. Apple currently sources thousands of parts from over 40 countries. Navarro's comments come as the Trump administration prepares to impose a new round of tariffs following the expiration of the 90-day tariff pause that was introduced in April 2025. During that pause, the administration sought to negotiate updated trade agreements with key manufacturing countries. As of this week, those efforts have led to partial deals with some countries, while others now face new tariffs of between 10% and 40% on exports to the United States.
