macOS Tahoe 26.4 update stops you from copying your login Keychain Apple's changes to the Keychain in macOS Tahoe made it more secure. However, by binding it to device-specific Secure Enclave keys, users now can't manually copy the login Keychain and use it on another Mac.Password versioning in Apple PasswordsAttacks on Mac users are getting more sophisticated over time, with AI also opening the door to even more malware and the discovery of new intrusion techniques. While Apple does work to increase the security of its operating systems and software to counter the threats, they can also become a burden to administrators.In a blog post on September 8, Rich Trouton wrote that it wasn't possible to manually copy login Keychain files from one Mac to another.

This unique retro dock adds a flip-up display, Thunderbolt 5, & 8TB storage to your Mac [Video] Amid all the craziness of this iPhone launch week, one of my favorite brands has released its brand-new retro-style dock for the Mac mini and the Mac Studio. Last year, they released their Retro Dock for the M4 Mac mini, and it was the perfect combination of functionality, form, and nostalgia that I had never seen before. It added a ton of ports, an NVMe storage slot, a 5-inch display, all wrapped up in a housing that looked like the original Macintosh from 1984. The new Wokyis G5 & G7 takes it to a whole other level. They’ve added even more pro-level ports, a larger display, usable tactile buttons, while still keeping that retro style look and feel, and they’ve expanded it to both the Mac mini and the Mac Studio. Here is what you need to know.

Here's When iOS 27 Rolls Out in Every Time Zone Apple is about to release iOS 27, which will finally deliver more advanced Siri AI capabilities as well as a variety of other refinements, improvements, and new features to iPhones. It's Apple's biggest software update of the year, and Apple announced at Wednesday's iPhone event that it will be releasing iOS 27 sometime tomorrow – Monday, September 14.
iOS 27 won't be the only release on Monday, as macOS Golden Gate and other releases in the OS 27 family will also drop around the same time as iOS 27.
Based on past releases, the update is likely to drop at around 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time/1:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Apple's own websites for countries around the world also suggest a 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time release, with Apple's site for India listing a September 14 launch while the company's pages for Singapore, Hong Kong, and others in that region list a September 15 release. That points to a narrow release window around 10:00 a.m. Pacific to line up with time zones where it will be after midnight in some of those countries.
To give iPhone users globally an idea of when iOS 27 should become available as an over-the-air update, we've compiled the below list of time zone conversions for several countries. This list isn't exhaustive, so please verify the exact time for your specific location, and bear in mind that there could always be a delay as Apple prepares its servers for rollout.

Be Prepared to Wait
When iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 become available as an over-the-air update, make sure your device is fully charged before you start the process over Wi-Fi, as it may take some time to complete. To check that the update is available, go to Settings ➝ General ➝ Software Update, and wait a moment for your device to contact Apple's servers. If you're in no rush, you can wait for iOS 27 to be delivered to your iPhone when you next plug it into your computer.
iOS 27 Supports iPhone 11 and Newer, Says Apple
Which iPhones Support Every iOS 27 Feature?
On that note, a word of caution: During the initial rollout of major software updates like iOS 27, Apple users may experience slower download speeds and sluggish performance when trying to update their devices. This is largely due to the high demand on Apple's servers, as millions of users worldwide attempt to download the update simultaneously.
The surge in traffic can overwhelm network capacity, leading to delays in downloading or installing the update. To avoid these potential issues, you may want to wait a day or two before installing the update, allowing server congestion to subside and ensuring a smoother upgrade experience.

In the age of AI, when generating an iOS app is cheap, what part of designing one is still hard? For developers designing their own apps, what do you still struggle with most? – Choosing the right interaction pattern – Knowing what “good” iOS UX looks like – Motion and transitions – something else? Curious whether design judgment is becoming more valuable as implementation gets easier. submitted by /u/60fpsdesign [link] [comments]
How to create a photo collage on your iPhone for free and with no ads Macworld
A quick and effective way to create a collage from several photos on your iPhone is to use Apple’s Keynote app. You might be familiar with using Keynote for presentations, but it’s also good for making collages. Keynote offers up to 100 different templates, though around half of these are only available via the Creator Studio subscription. The paid templates are signified by a small five-petalled flower in the top right-hand corner of the template.
Before you choose one of the slides for your photo collage, make sure that Keynote is displaying the slides in the standard 4:3 aspect ratio. The 16:9 aspect ratio option is too elongated for most screens on which you’ll want to display your collage.
How to create a photo collage with Keynote
Open the Keynote app and create a new presentation by tapping on one of the templates. We recommend the “Photography Bold” “Photo Essay,” or “Scrapbook Dark” templates.
In the blank presentation, tap the rectangle with the plus sign in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
The app will now suggest slide templates. There are options featuring two vertical photos, three photos side by side, and a single photo with a caption. For most purposes, such as social media posts, three photos on a single slide are sufficient; more than five are too small and cluttered for quick viewing.
Foundry
After selecting a slide template, you can select your own images directly from your media library. Tap the plus signs on the slide to select your own images and place them on the slide.
Tap the paint brush icon at the top to adjust the background color. You can also change the layout or add a title.
Foundry
Once you’re happy with the collage you’ve created, you can export it from the Keynote app. To do this, tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner, then tap Export and then Images.
You can post the finished collage directly to social media via the Share menu.
Pay just $70 for $150 in aloSIM credit and skip roaming rates abroad Macworld
TL;DR: Pay $69.99 to get $150 in aloSIM travel-data credit, redeemable for 12 months toward country and regional packages in 200+ countries.
Coming home from vacation with a souvenir is nice. Coming home to a pile of daily international data charges? Awful. Pay $69.99 for this aloSIM offer, and you get $150 in credit to spend on mobile data packages across 200+ countries.
aloSIM uses eSIMs—digital SIM cards for compatible phones and tablets—to connect travelers to local carrier networks instead of relying on their regular carrier’s international data. Packages start at $4.50 for seven days, compared with the $10–$20 per day that carriers typically charge abroad.
The process is pretty painless. Download aloSIM, redeem your credit, choose your destination, and select a data package. Install the destination’s eSIM at home over Wi-Fi about one or two days before leaving; setup takes roughly 90 seconds and can be completed automatically on newer iPhones with a QR code or manually.
However, don’t activate the data package yet. Wait until you land because its validity period begins when it’s activated. Then turn it on and connect to the local network.
Traveling through several countries? Regional packages cover Asia, the British Isles, the Caribbean, and Eastern Europe, so multi-stop itineraries don’t necessarily require separate packages for each destination.
The eSIM profile itself doesn’t expire and can be topped up for return trips. Your $150 credit is valid for 12 months after redemption, while individual data packages expire according to their purchased validity period, and unused data does not roll over.
Before buying, confirm your phone or tablet supports eSIM. Then your next trip can involve a lot less worrying about what every megabyte is costing you.
Get $150 in aloSIM travel-data credit for just $69.99 before your trip.

iOS 27 breaks 15 years of muscle memory on iPhone and iPad Since iOS 5 in 2011, the iPhone and iPad have included Notification Center, a central place to find alerts from various apps in chronological order.
Starting with iOS 27, Apple is making a major change to how users open Notification Center on iPhone and iPad.
iOS 27 is out September 14 after a summer of beta releases. The behavior has changed slightly between the first two releases. However, several developer beta releases later show this change is shipping — even if I’d change it.

Apple Says iPhone 18 Pro Max Sold in U.S. Differs in One Way As noted by Nicolas Lellouche, who writes for the French tech website Numerama, Apple has updated its tech specs pages for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max to clarify which models are equipped with its new C2 cellular modem and where.
Apple now says the iPhone 18 Pro has a C2 modem worldwide, while the iPhone 18 Pro Max uses the chip in every country except for the U.S.
According to a tipster known as @itspdfu, who has been digging through Apple's software updates in recent weeks, iOS 27 code reveals that the iPhone 18 Pro Max is equipped with a Qualcomm modem instead of the C2 chip in the U.S.
Apple has yet to provide an explanation for this modem difference, so we can only speculate for now. In 2023, Qualcomm announced that it would supply Apple with smartphone modems through 2026, so perhaps Apple is equipping the U.S. version of the iPhone 18 Pro Max with a Qualcomm modem in order to honor this agreement in a minimum way.
Apple's C2 modem supports ultra-fast mmWave 5G in the U.S., unlike its previous-generation C1 and C1X modems. Qualcomm modems in the iPhone 12 and newer already supported mmWave 5G in the U.S., so Apple is playing catch up here. Apple said the C2 delivers "meaningfully faster uploads" compared to the C1X while consuming 15% less energy.
Apple's first-generation C1 modem debuted in the iPhone 16e in February 2025, and the second-generation C1X debuted in the iPhone Air in September 2025. Now, the third-generation C2 modem has arrived in the iPhone 18 Pro models, except for the iPhone 18 Pro Max in the U.S. as mentioned, as Apple's transition away from Qualcomm continues.
It is unclear which Qualcomm modem is in U.S. units of the iPhone 18 Pro Max, but the Snapdragon X85 is most likely. Over the coming weeks, real-world performance tests should show how the C2 and Snapdragon X85 stack up.

We'll have to wait a little over a month to get our hands on the foldable iPhone Duo, but the rest of the products will be out at the end of next week. And don't forget iOS 27, macOS Golden Gate, and other software updates that will be dropping on Monday!

Everything Apple Announced at This Week's Event
We'll pull out the highlights below, but be sure to check out our recap video and complete index to all of our coverage of Apple's "Surprise and Shine" event that saw the introduction of several new iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods models.
The event saw John Ternus taking the stage just days after officially becoming Apple CEO, making some of the bigger announcements of the day and handing off to other Apple executives to present the details.
Apple Announces Foldable 'iPhone Duo'
The star of Wednesday's show was a "one more thing" unveiling of the iPhone Duo, Apple's new compact foldable phone featuring a more traditional-sized screen on the outside but unfolding into a nearly iPad mini-sized screen on the inside.
In addition to a refined hardware design, the iPhone Duo features numerous software refinements to deliver a user experience optimized for the new form factor.
Pre-orders for the iPhone Duo begin on October 16, with a launch to follow on October 23, and in the meantime, check out our hands-on video from the event.
Apple Announces iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max
Apple this week also unveiled the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, which look very similar to the iPhone 17 Pro models but have several upgrades.
As was widely rumored, both devices have a smaller Dynamic Island that can show up to three Live Activities at once. The A20 Pro chip in the iPhone 18 Pro models has a 6-core CPU, a 7-core GPU, and a 32-core Neural Engine, and thanks in part to a much larger vapor chamber cooling system, Apple says sustained performance is up to 40% faster compared to the A19 Pro chip.
Other updates include new camera features such as a variable aperture on the Main camera, longer battery life, and new color options, all of which we discussed in our hands-on and early impressions video. Pre-orders for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max kicked off today, with a launch coming on September 18.
Apple Announces Apple Watch Series 12 With S11 Chip, Upgraded Health Sensors and Ceramic Models
The Apple Watch Series 12 was also introduced this week, featuring a new S11 chip, a similar redesigned health sensing system as on the Ultra 4, and new aluminum, titanium, and ceramic finishes.
Series 12 comes in Space Gray, Black, Light Gold, and Dark Bronze aluminum finishes. The aluminum models gain Ceramic Shield, which Apple says makes their screens 60% tougher. Polished titanium models are also available in Radiant Gold and Natural, while ceramic models come in Pearl White and Night Blue.
Pricing starts at $399, with pre-orders available now ahead of a September 18 launch.
Apple Announces Apple Watch Ultra 4 With Two-Day Battery Life and Upgraded Health Tracking
Apple this week announced the Apple Watch Ultra 4, which features a new S11 chip, a redesigned health sensing system, and a larger battery that Apple says delivers two days of battery life.
With improved power efficiency, Ultra 4 offers up to 18 hours of workout tracking with full GPS and heart rate monitoring, or 45 hours in its maximum extended workout mode, according to Apple.
Pre-orders are available now ahead of a September 18 launch, with prices starting at $799.
AirPods 5 Announced With Improved Noise Cancellation, Audio Quality, and More
Finally, Apple introduced AirPods 5, offering Active Noise Cancellation with its entry-level wireless earbuds at a starting price of $129. A $149 version with a Wireless Charging Case adds swipe-based volume controls on the stems and longer battery life.
Apple says AirPods 5 remove up to 50% more external noise than AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation. They also boast a redesigned acoustic architecture and updated Adaptive EQ which promise richer, more detailed sound, and an improved Transparency mode that makes nearby voices and sounds more natural.
AirPods 5 are available to pre-order now, with availability beginning Friday, September 18.

For my entire IT career, software updates have operated on a predictable schedule. IT administrators have been conditioned to build workflows around quarterly point releases or monthly patching cycles (Patch Tuesday). However, as AI tools become very proficient at automatically discovering software vulnerabilities, threat actors are moving faster than ever before. With that being said, I very much miss 18th-month macOS/OS X releases.
We are rapidly entering an era in which software updates will look less like traditional operating system updates and more like continuous cloud updates. To survive this shift, IT teams must understand the three prongs of modern patch management.

iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max Now Available to Pre-Order Apple is now accepting pre-orders for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max through its online storefront and the Apple Store app. If you don't see the option to order, make sure to refresh until the store comes up. The app is often a quicker way to get a pre-order in.
Pre-orders for the iPhone 18 Pro models are available in more than 65 countries and regions around the world. If you used "Get Ready" ahead of time, you'll be able to place an order with just a couple of taps.
The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are Apple's latest flagship iPhones, featuring a new variable aperture Main camera, a faster A20 Pro chip, improved vapor chamber cooling, upgraded 5G modems, longer battery life, faster charging, and a smaller Dynamic Island. The new iPhones come in silver, black, glacier, and burgundy.
Pricing on the iPhone 18 Pro begins at $1,199 for the 256GB model, and the iPhone 18 Pro Max is priced starting at $1,299. Up to 2TB of storage is available at higher prices.
Apple is not offering the lower-cost iPhone 18 at this time, and the iPhone Duo won't launch until October 23, so there may be high demand for the iPhone 18 Pro models. It's always a good idea to pre-order early because popular colors and capacities often sell out.
In addition to Apple, carriers like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile are accepting pre-orders, as are retailers like Best Buy and Walmart. Carriers are offering trade-in deals and discounts for customers, while Apple has the Apple Upgrade program available with monthly payment options.

Replace overstimulating screen time with Montessori-inspired Pok Pok for just $60 Macworld
TL;DR: Pok Pok lifetime access is $59.99 (reg. $250), giving families unlimited access to a growing collection of low-stimulation, Montessori-inspired educational activities without ads, levels, winning, or losing.
Not all kids’ screen time needs flashing rewards, competitive levels, or an ad appearing every 30 seconds. Pok Pok takes a calmer route, and lifetime access is currently $59.99 instead of $250.
Designed for kids ages 2–8, Pok Pok is a Montessori-inspired digital playroom built around exploration rather than winning. No rules, levels, objectives, or losing. Kids simply choose a toy and start experimenting.
The activities sneak plenty of learning into that play. Pok Pok supports foundational skills involving STEM, numbers, language, problem-solving, cause and effect, and cognitive, social, and emotional development.
Kids can explore outer space, count their way through Number Journey, experiment with Shapes, dress characters, meet dinosaurs, solve World Puzzles, visit Islands, and more.
Pok Pok is also intentionally low-stimulation. Its art is hand-drawn, while sound effects and music are recorded in-house to create a gentler environment. There are no attempts to trick kids into making purchases.
It works offline, which could make it particularly handy for travel, and one account provides family access across all your family’s devices. New toys, plus seasonal and cultural updates, are also added regularly.
Get lifetime Pok Pok access for just $59.99 (reg. $250) right now.

Pay $11 once & block annoying ads on up to 9 devices for life Macworld
TL;DR: Through Sept. 20, pay just $11 (reg. $169.99) for lifetime AdGuard Family access on up to nine devices, including ad blocking, privacy protection, malware protection, and parental controls.
The internet has plenty of useful things. Pop-ups, giant banners, and disruptive video ads aren’t particularly high on that list. Through Sept. 20, you can pay $11 instead of $169.99 for lifetime access to the AdGuard Family Plan and clean up browsing across as many as nine devices.
Its advanced ad-blocking module eliminates different types of ads, including intrusive pop-ups and video ads, so websites feel much less cluttered.
Privacy tools also work behind the scenes. AdGuard helps keep your data hidden from trackers and activity analyzers. Its malware protection also helps shield devices from harmful malware and phishing websites.
For households with kids, built-in parental controls add another useful layer. Parents can restrict access to inappropriate and adult content, giving them more control over what younger family members can access online.
The Family Plan covers up to nine devices and is compatible with Android and iOS operating systems, including smartphones and mobile computers. Because this is a lifetime subscription, you won’t have recurring payments adding to the monthly pile. The plan also includes continuous updates and new features.
Get lifetime AdGuard Family access for just $11 through Sept. 20 (reg. $169.99).

If your iPhone calls suddenly end, this will fix it Macworld
I’m sure this has happened to you too: You’re in the middle of a call on your iPhone and suddenly the call ends. Neither you nor the person you’re speaking to has hung up–at least, that’s what you think.
Chances are that you accidentally pressed the side button on your iPhone. This can easily happen when you’re holding your phone in your hand while having a conversation. The problem is that, since iOS 16, the side button has ended calls by default, and iOS 27 won’t change this behavior, either. It’s both handy and annoying! To stop this from happening accidentally, you’ll need to adjust this setting.
How to stop accidentally hanging up
The relevant option is hidden deep within the Settings and isn’t where you might first look for it To ensure a call isn’t ended by locking your iPhone using the side button, follow these steps:
Open Settings.
Tap Accessibility.
Under Physical and Motor, select Touch.
Enable Prevent Lock to End Calls.
That’s it, you’ve successfully prevented the side button from ending calls. Now, if you press the physical button on the side of your iPhone whilse on a call, it will simply turn off the screen but won’t automatically end the call.

Apple Store Down Ahead of iPhone 18 Pro Pre-Orders Apple's online store is down ahead of iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max pre-orders, which begin at 5:00 a.m. Pacific Time on Saturday, September 12.
"We love that early energy," reads the Apple Store's message when visiting the U.S. website. "Almost ready for you. Pre-order begins at 5:00 a.m. PT. See you soon." Apple has been opening pre-orders at 5:00 a.m. Pacific Time for several years, rather than the 12:01 a.m. start time it previously used. Today the store went down especially early.
Customers in more than 65 countries and regions, including Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, the UAE, the U.K., and the U.S., will be able to pre-order both models when the store comes back online.
The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max come in Burgundy, Glacier, Silver, and Black. Both models are available in 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB storage capacities, bringing the 2TB option to the smaller Pro model for the first time.

How to Pre-Order Your iPhone 18 Pro From Apple Apple unveiled the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max on September 9 at its "Surprise and shine" event. If you're keen to be among the first to get your hands on one, here are some tips on how to give yourself the best chance. If you're looking to grab a foldable iPhone Duo, check out our separate guide.
Apple says pre-orders for the new iPhone 18 Pro models open on Saturday, September 12 at 5:00 a.m. Pacific Time ahead of a launch on Friday, September 18. We have a guide to when pre-orders go live in every time zone.
Going on previous fall iPhone launches, shipping estimates for popular iPhone Pro configurations tend to slip by several weeks within hours of Apple's pre-orders opening, which tends to happen the week of the announcement. Ordering quickly therefore can make the difference between a launch-day delivery and an extended wait. These tips should help give you the best chance of grabbing one.
Get Ready for your iPhone 18 Pro pre-order: Before pre-orders go live, you have a short time window to set up a "Get Ready" feature in the Apple Store app. This allows you to prepare your purchase by selecting your preferred model, confirming carrier status, adding accessories, choosing an AppleCare+ plan, and setting up payment methods. Afterwards, when pre-orders begin, you'll be able to complete your purchase with just a tap. Apple is giving customers until 9 p.m. Pacific Time today to get their pre-order ready ahead of the morning rush, so act now if you want a quicker checkout tomorrow.
Check your Apple Account details now: Do the necessary checks that confirm your payment method hasn't expired, your billing address matches your card, and your shipping address is the place you actually want your iPhone sent to.
Get your trade-in quote in advance: Getting a trade-in valuation on your current iPhone adds more screens to the checkout process, so get it done before pre-orders go live. After a trade-in estimate is generated, Apple has to receive your old device within 14 days (15 days in Canada) to ensure you get the estimated value. But this countdown only comes into effect after you receive your iPhone 18 Pro – not before.
If you financed your current phone through the old iPhone Upgrade Program, check your status and your replacement financing options now: Apple discontinued the old program in the US in July 2026. Eligible existing members can move to Apple Upgrade, Apple Card Monthly Installments, carrier financing, or a one-time purchase. Note that in the UK, Apple is in the process of transitioning former Upgrade Program customers to its Flexible Finance Account.
Open the Apple Store app ahead of time: Ensure you have the app up-to-date, open, and with your saved configuration on screen several minutes before pre-orders go live. The store does not always become accessible to every customer at exactly the advertised second. In fact, it's more likely to open up a few minutes later than that. Also: keep Apple's online store open in a browser on another device. Going on previous pre-orders, which of the two comes back first can vary by launch.
Don't change your configuration selection at checkout: Every change you make to your basket likely re-queries Apple's inventory. If your saved specification is available, take it all the way to payment. This includes which color you prefer – the more last-minute changes you make, the greater the risk becomes that availability will change before you check out.
Choose in-store pickup if it's offered: There's every reason to believe that Apple's pickup inventory will be allocated separately from its delivery stock, so a store slot can still be available after delivery estimates have slipped. Opting for in-store pickup also removes any potential ambiguity surrounding your estimated delivery window.
Launch day walk-in stock is a genuine alternative: Apple could conceivably hold back some inventory for in-store purchases on launch morning. Brick-and-mortar stocks are also allocated per store rather than nationally. Apple's pickup availability checker updates through the morning and is likely to be more efficient and reliable than calling the store. That being said, don't assume you'll be able to walk into a store and pick up an iPhone 18 Pro.

Two iOS 27 Features Won't Be Ready for Monday's Launch Two iOS 27 features need a little more time in testing and won't be shipping until a future update, even though they were present during the beta period.
Suggestions in Messages conversations and the option to automatically fix compromised passwords with a tap will not be in the initial version of iOS 27, and will instead launch in a later version of iOS 27.
Apple noted the delays on its iOS 27 page, as well as its iPadOS 27 and macOS Golden Gate pages as these are cross-platform features.
For the password update feature, the Passwords app uses Apple Intelligence and Safari to fix compromised passwords in the background without the user needing to do so manually
In the Messages app, Apple Intelligence surfaces one-tap suggestions based on what's being discussed in a conversation. If someone you're talking to asks you to send a photo or complete a task, Messages recognizes the request and suggests action on the information with the relevant apps.
We already know that an iOS 27.1 update will be coming before October 23 because the iPhone Duo comes out on that date and ships with it pre-installed. We could potentially get the new features as soon as iOS 27.1.
iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 will launch to the public on Monday, September 14.Related Roundups: iOS 27, iPadOS 27Related Forum: iOS 27This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
US Legislators Complain About Secretive British Court and Apple Encryption Bruce66423 shares a report from The Guardian: A bipartisan pair of American politicians is telling Britain's most secretive court to stop hiding its handling of Apple's legal fight against a government demand to break into its customers' encrypted data, warning that Whitehall's taste for secrecy is 'needlessly' straining relations between the two allies. The letter (PDF), shared with the Guardian ahead of being sent to the investigatory powers tribunal (IPT) on Friday, is signed by the Democratic senator Ron Wyden of Oregon and the Republican congressman Warren Davidson of Ohio.
The row dates back to January 2025, when the Home Office served Apple with a technical capability notice under the Investigatory Powers Act, which requires companies to assist law enforcement in providing evidence. The UK government demanded that Apple provide a mechanism to access encrypted iCloud backups worldwide, a call the company met by withdrawing its Advanced Data Protection encryption feature from UK users the following month. Apple's challenge to that order at the IPT was later thrown out after the Home Office withdrew the original notice and issued a narrower one targeting only British users' data. "It is wholly inappropriate for a foreign executive body to attempt to dictate the distribution of powers within the US government, nor should it be permitted to use secrecy directives under the Investigatory Powers Act to frustrate Article I powers under the US Constitution," the pair wrote.
Wyden and Davidson write that Congress "is not only a co-equal branch of government, it is the First Branch," and argue that no government can be allowed to place "its demands beyond the reach of legislative inquiry."
"The UK government," they write, "cannot champion legislative oversight at home while using administrative gag orders to kneecap the constitutional authority of the US Congress."

Apple Watch Series 11 vs. Series 12 Buyer's Guide: 25+ Upgrades Compared The Apple Watch Series 12 is now available for pre-order, and unlike last year's model, it brings a substantial list of changes over its predecessor. Here's everything that's new.
Last year, the Series 11 introduced just four changes over the Series 10, making it perhaps the smallest generational upgrade in the device's history. The Series 12 is a far more meaningful refresh, even though it essentially retains the same design for a third consecutive year.
It launches on Friday, September 18, at the same $399 starting price as the Series 11, which Apple has now discontinued. This guide lists all of the differences between the Series 11 and Series 12 models to help you understand the changes:

Apple Watch Series 12
S10 chip (2024)
S11 chip (2026)

From $399
The new ceramic case marks the first ceramic Apple Watch since the Series 5 Edition in 2019, but it is slightly larger than the other models and weighs up to 52.9 grams in its 46mm Night Blue configuration. Even the aluminum and titanium models are now 1mm wider and around 2 grams heavier than their predecessors.
At the same time, the display appears to have shrunk slightly, even though its resolution is unchanged. Apple lists the 46mm Series 12 with 1,196 sq mm of display area, 2% less than the 1,220 sq mm of the Series 11, while the 42mm model drops 1.9% from 989 sq mm to 970 sq mm.
A marginally smaller screen in a wider case means thicker borders, and Apple also appears to have pulled the case back slightly around a larger front glass, which could make them look even more prominent. The Series 10 went through a similar change in 2024, when its visible aluminum edge shrank compared to the Series 9 but its overall bezel, including the black border under the glass, actually grew. The shift is less dramatic this time around, since the Series 12 keeps the same basic case design. Here's how the two generations compare in size, weight, and display area:
46mm
Apple Watch Series 11
Apple Watch Series 12
Dimensions
46mm x 39mm x 9.7mm
46mm x 40mm x 9.7mm

32.2 grams
Aluminum (Cellular)

The new ceramic models, which have no Series 11 equivalent, are larger and considerably heavier still:
Ceramic
46mm
42mm
Dimensions
47mm x 41mm x 9.85mm
43mm x 37mm x 9.85mm
Pearl White

41.7 grams
Night Blue
52.9 grams
42.8 grams
The most significant upgrade between the two devices is the new Health Sensing System. It uses a larger electrode surface for better skin contact during ECG readings, redesigned photodiodes laid out in a ring for more efficient light capture, and bigger, more power-efficient green LEDs. The result is that the Series 12 measures heart rate every five seconds throughout the day, 60 times more frequently than before, and samples HRV up to 24 times more often. Apple claims this gives the Series 12 the most accurate heart rate sensing of any wearable.
That higher-frequency data powers several new health features that are exclusive to the Series 12. The Readiness app weighs up your recent activity, training load, vitals, and sleep score to produce a single daily score out of 10, alongside a recommendation ranging from "Recover" to "Go For It." There is also a separate Recovery HRV metric, a daytime view in the Vitals app, and new watch face complications for real-time heart rate and step count. Apple has also rebuilt its pedometer model and says the Series 12 now offers the most accurate step tracking of any smartwatch.
The Series 12 is the first model in two years to get a new chip, with the S11 replacing the S10 that powered both the Series 10 and Series 11, which itself was almost identical to the S9 chip from 2023. The new model also has twice as much RAM, with 4GB compared to 2GB in the Series 11.
The S11 chip enables Audio Intelligence, a new set of features exclusive to the Series 12 and Ultra 4. Live Rewind displays a transcript of the last 15 seconds of conversation with a double press of the Digital Crown, Siri Recap generates summaries of conversations, Sound Recognition alerts deaf or hard of hearing users to sounds like sirens and doorbells, and Shazam can automatically identify music playing nearby. According to Apple, audio is processed in a hardware-isolated Secure Exclave on the S11 chip and is never recorded.
Everyday battery life is unchanged at up to 24 hours, or up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode. The improvements instead focus on workouts and charging. The Series 12 offers up to 10 hours of battery life during an outdoor workout, which Apple says is 25% more than the Series 11, and 15 minutes of charging now delivers up to 12 hours of use rather than eight.
All other aspects, such as display resolution and brightness, 64GB of storage, 5G connectivity, and water and dust resistance all carry over from the Series 11 unchanged.
Is It Worth Upgrading?
For new buyers, the Series 12 is the obvious choice. It costs the same $399 that the Series 11 did at launch, while adding a more capable health sensing system, double the RAM, and a considerable list of exclusive features. With a new chip and more memory, it is also likely to be better placed for future Apple Intelligence features. The Series 11 is the better value option only when it can be found heavily discounted, which is likely as third-party retailers clear their remaining stock.
Last year, we concluded that virtually no users should upgrade from a Series 10 to a Series 11. This year, the picture is more nuanced. For most Series 11 owners, there is still no general-purpose reason to upgrade, since many key features are unchanged and Siri AI is coming to the Series 11 anyway. However, the Series 12 is worth considering if you rely on your Apple Watch for training and recovery insights, since continuous heart rate tracking, Recovery HRV, and Readiness are all exclusive to the new model. Deaf and hard of hearing users may find Sound Recognition a compelling reason to upgrade on its own, and some users will simply want the new ceramic finish.
Series 11 owners who are happy to wait may prefer to hold out for next year's "Series 13," which is rumored to bring the first major redesign since the Series 10, including a new band attachment system.
By contrast, upgrading is much easier to justify if you have a Series 9 or older. Series 10 owners would gain a new, thinner design with a wider screen, a tougher display on aluminum models, and a longer battery life in addition to all of this year's changes.Related Roundup: Apple Watch 12Buyer's Guide: Apple Watch (Buy Now)Related Forum: Apple WatchThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple’s foldable iPhone Duo shows the upside of waiting Apple arrived slightly late to foldable phones. As per Bloomberg Tech, that delay looks less like a miss and more like a choice.…

iPhone 18 Pro First Look: Same Design, Big Changes Inside After Wednesday's event, Apple let members of the media take a look at the new iPhone 18 Pro models, so we're able to share some early first impressions with you before pre-orders start tomorrow.
Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos.
The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max look almost identical to the iPhone 17 Pro models, but there are some subtle changes that make the new devices stand out. There's less of a color difference between the aluminum frame and the glass back, so while the 17 Pro models had a two-tone look, the iPhone 18 Pro models are more uniform.
Apple is selling the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max in four colors, including silver, black, burgundy, and glacier, which is a light blue. Burgundy especially looks good in person, and people who missed black last year will be glad to see it back. There's no change to size or shape, so they're still available with 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch displays. Both are a little heavier, and the iPhone 18 Pro Max weighs 16 grams more than the 17 Pro Max.
Display quality is the same, but Apple slimmed down the Dynamic Island, so it takes up less space, plus it can show up to three Live Activities at once.
Inside, there's a new 2nm A20 Pro chip. If you're upgrading to the iPhone 18 Pro from an iPhone 17 Pro, you're probably not going to notice a day-to-day difference between the A19 Pro and the A20 Pro, but the iPhone 18 Pro models might run cooler. There's a new vapor chamber cooling system that takes up three times more area, and Apple says it supports up to 40 percent faster sustained performance. There's a new dual Neural Engine, but RAM hasn't increased and it's still at 12GB.
Battery life is better in both Pro models. The iPhone 18 Pro lasts for up to 36 hours when watching video, and the iPhone 18 Pro Max lasts for up to 45 hours. Charging over USB-C is faster, and you can get a 50 percent charge in 15 minutes with a 60W power adapter. MagSafe and Qi2 wireless charging are still supported but max out at 25W.
There's a three-lens camera system with an upgraded Main camera. The 48MP Main camera has a variable aperture that has four stops: ƒ/1.48, ƒ/1.8, ƒ/2.8, ƒ/4.0. Aperture will adjust automatically when you're taking photos, but there's a new Pro Controls option if you want to make manual changes. You can adjust aperture, shutter speed, and white balance, plus there's a histogram for making tweaks. With the variable aperture and the Pro Controls, you can adjust the amount of light and the background blur of images.
Photographic Styles now have texture and grain controls, and when you're filming, smart focus tracking can lock on to a subject even if it leaves the frame so you never lose focus. Cinematic effects can be added to video after capture for the first time, and Audio Mix works with music. There's also support for 4K Dolby Vision time-lapse videos.
All 6.3-inch iPhone 18 Pro models have the C2 modem, while iPhone 18 Pro Max models in the U.S. have a Qualcomm modem. iPhone 18 Pro Max models outside the U.S. also have the C2, and it's not clear why Apple opted for that modem split. The C2 is faster and more energy-efficient than the prior C1X, and it now supports mmWave 5G speeds in addition to sub–6GHz.
As expected, Apple raised its iPhone prices. The iPhone 18 Pro starts at $1,199 in the U.S., and the iPhone 18 Pro Max starts at $1,299, so there's a $100 increase for both base models. Starting storage remains at 256GB, but you can upgrade up to 2TB.
Pre-orders for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max start at 5:00 a.m. Pacific Time on Saturday, September 12. The new iPhones will launch on September 18.Related Roundup: iPhone 18 ProBuyer's Guide: iPhone 18 Pro (Coming Soon)Related Forum: iPhoneThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Still Has 8 More Products to Announce Later This Year Apple's annual iPhone event is now in the rearview mirror, but it still has many more products to announce later this year, according to rumors.
Apple is expected to unveil the following eight products this year, although the MacBook Pro with an OLED display might not arrive until early 2027.
With this many products still coming, Apple will likely hold an October event this year.
iPadiPad mini: A19 Pro or A20 Pro chip, an OLED display, a new speaker system without holes, and a water-resistant design. Apple debuted the A20 Pro chip in the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Duo earlier this week.

On this laptop, which will reportedly be named MacBook Ultra, macOS 27 is expected to offer a touch-friendly interface. While this rumor is far less certain, it has also been said that it might be possible to configure the MacBook Ultra with the M5 Ultra chip that debuted last month.Home
Apple TV: At least five new features, including an A17 Pro chip or newer, an increased 8GB of RAM for Apple Intelligence, Siri AI support, an Apple-designed N1 chip with Wi-Fi 7 support, and an updated Siri Remote. The new Apple TV will apparently look similar to the existing model, so do not expect any major design changes.
HomePod mini: Newer chip with Siri AI support, improved sound quality, Apple's N1 chip with Wi-Fi 7 support, a second-generation Ultra Wideband chip, and potentially new color options like red. The new HomePod mini will apparently look similar to the existing model, so do not expect any major design changes.
Home Hub: An all-new smart home hub featuring Siri AI, a 6-inch to 7-inch square display, an A18 chip or newer for Apple Intelligence, FaceTime, and more. A new operating system will feature clock faces, widgets, and more.
