For those who ship many small iOS apps that are basically ship once, rarely updated: if you’re using a backend like Firebase or Supabase, do you bother with separate dev/staging and prod environments, or just run everything on a single prod project? What do you actually do in practice? submitted by /u/Tricky-Independent-8 [link] […]45 minutes agoMacworld Podcast: The year in Apple hardware

Apple will allow alternative iOS app stores and external payment systems in Brazil after settling an antitrust case with the country's competition authority, following a lawsuit brought by MercadoLibre back in 2022. Thurrott reports: Yesterday, Brazil's Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Economica (CADE) explained in its press release that it has approved a Term of Commitment to Cease (TCC) submitted by Apple. To settle the lawsuit, the iPhone maker has agreed to allow third-party iOS app stores in Brazil and to let developers use external payment systems. The company will also use neutral wording in the warning messages about third-party app stores and external payment systems that iOS users in Brazil will see. As part of the settlement, Apple has 105 days to implement these changes to avoid a fine of up to $27.1 million. A separate report from Brazilian blog Tecnoblog revealed that Apple will still take a 5% "Core Technology Commission" fee on transactions going through alternative app stores. Additionally, the company will take a 15% cut on in-app purchases for App Store apps when developers redirect users to their own payment systems.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Wired: Two years ago, Lizmary Fernandez took a detour from studying to be an immigration attorney to join a free Apple course for making iPhone apps. The Apple Developer Academy in Detroit launched as part of the company's $200 million response to the Black Lives Matter protests and aims to expand opportunities for people of color in the country's poorest big city. But Fernandez found the program's cost-of-living stipend lacking -- "A lot of us got on food stamps," she says -- and the coursework insufficient for landing a coding job. "I didn't have the experience or portfolio," says the 25-year-old, who is now a flight attendant and preparing to apply to law school. "Coding is not something I got back to." Since 2021, the academy has welcomed over 1,700 students, a racially diverse mix with varying levels of tech literacy and financial flexibility. About 600 students, including Fernandez, have completed its 10-month course of half-days at Michigan State University, which cosponsors the Apple-branded and Apple-focused program. WIRED reviewed contracts and budgets and spoke with officials and graduates for the first in-depth examination of the nearly $30 million invested in the academy over the past four years -- almost 30 percent of which came from Michigan taxpayers and the university's regular students. As tech giants begin pouring billions of dollars into AI-related job training courses across the country, the Apple academy offers lessons on the challenges of uplifting diverse communities. [...] The program gives out iPhones and MacBooks and spends an estimated $20,000 per student, nearly twice as much as state and local governments budget for community colleges. [...] About 70 percent of students graduate, which [Sarah Gretter, the academy leader for Michigan State] describes as higher than typical for adult education. She says the goal is for them to take "a next step," whether a job or more courses. Roughly a third of participants are under 25, and virtually all of them pursue further schooling. [...] About 71 percent of graduates from the last two years went onto full-time jobs across a variety of industries, according to academy officials. Amy J. Ko, a University of Washington computer scientist who researches computing education, calls under 80 percent typical for the coding schools she has studied but notes that one of her department's own undergraduate programs has a 95 percent job placement rate.

Apple CEO Tim Cook disclosed a roughly $3 million open-market purchase of Nike shares this week (via Reuters). According to a regulatory filing published yesterday, Cook purchased 50,000 Class B shares of Nike on December 22 at an average price of $58.97 per share, for a total investment of approximately $2.95 million. The filing shows that Cook now holds about 105,000 Nike shares, a position valued at nearly $6 million. Nike shares rose following the disclosure, gaining between about 2% and 5% in premarket and early regular-session activity, after the stock had fallen sharply in the days following the company's most recent earnings report, which highlighted ongoing challenges in its business, particularly in China. Nike is currently in the early stages of a turnaround effort under CEO Elliott Hill, who returned to the company last year after retiring. Cook has served on Nike's board of directors since 2005 and is its lead independent director, a role he assumed in 2016 after Nike co-founder Phil Knight stepped down as chairman. In addition to his position at Apple, Cook also chairs Nike's compensation committee, placing him in a central governance role at the apparel maker. The December 22 transaction represents Cook's largest open-market purchase of Nike shares in years and comes at a time when the company is under pressure from investors following a prolonged decline in its stock price.Tag: Tim CookThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums04:40 pmApple Plans to Expand iPhone Driver's Licenses to These 7 U.S. States
In select U.S. states, residents can add their driver's license or state ID to the Apple Wallet app on the iPhone and Apple Watch, and then use it to display proof of identity or age at select airports and businesses, and in select apps. The feature is currently available in 13 U.S. states and Puerto Rico, and it is expected to launch in at least seven more in the future. To set up the feature, open the Wallet app and tap on the plus sign in the top-right corner. Next, select Driver's License and ID Cards and follow the steps. Supported States The following 13 states offer driver's licenses in the Wallet app:Arizona (since March 2022) Maryland (since May 2022) Colorado (since November 2022) Georgia (since May 2023) Ohio (since July 2024) Hawaii (since August 2024) California (since September 2024) Iowa (since October 2024) New Mexico (since December 2024)Montana (since August 2025) North Dakota (since September 2025) West Virginia (since October 2025) Illinois (since November 2025)The feature is also available in Puerto Rico.

Brazilian regulators have approved a settlement that will require Apple to change how the App Store operates on iPhone in the country, including allowing alternative app stores, expanded payment options, and a defined new fee structure. In a press release, Brazil's Administrative Council of Economic Defense (CADE), said its court has approved a Term of Commitment to Cease proposed by Apple to resolve an investigation into the company's App Store rules on iOS. The case began in 2022 and examined whether Apple's restrictions on app distribution and payments limited competition in Brazil. CADE said the investigation focused on Apple's prohibition of third-party app stores on iOS, the requirement that developers use Apple's in-app purchase system for digital goods and subscriptions, and restrictions that prevented developers from informing users about alternative payment options. Under the settlement, Apple will be required to allow developers in Brazil to link to external payment options and promote offers that take place outside their apps. Developers will also be permitted to offer third-party payment methods within their apps alongside Apple's own in-app purchase system, with CADE requiring that these options be presented next to Apple's payment option. Apple will also have to allow third-party app stores in Brazil. CADE specified that Apple may still display warnings or informational messages to users, but those messages must be neutral, objective, and limited in scope, and must not introduce extra steps or barriers that make alternative options harder to use. According to Brazilian technology site Tecnoblog, which said it obtained the details directly from CADE, purchases made through the App Store will remain subject to a 10% or 25% commission under standard terms. Developers who use Apple's payment system would also pay a 5% transaction fee. If an app directs users to pay outside the app using only static text, with no clickable link or button, Apple will not charge a fee. If the app includes a clickable button or link that sends users to an external website for payment, Apple will charge a 15% fee. Third-party app stores will be subject to a 5% Core Technology Commission. CADE said Apple will have up to 105 days to implement the required changes once the new rules become binding.

Apple's next-generation iPhone Air could still launch in the fall of 2026, according to the Weibo leaker known as "Fixed Focus Digital." The leaker claims to have been told by sources that the second-generation iPhone Air will launch in the fall. Meanwhile, the iPhone 17e is said to already be in mass production ahead of unveiling at a spring product launch event. The rumor comes in contrast to an array of corroborated reports that the second-generation iPhone Air has been delayed until March 2027, where it is expected to launch alongside the standard iPhone 18 and a lower-end iPhone 18e. The second-generation iPhone Air was originally rumored to launch alongside the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and foldable iPhone in the fall of 2026, but poor sales of the debut model apparently led Apple to delay the launch. The second-generation iPhone Air is rumored to address complaints about the device by adding a second rear camera and lowering its price. A lighter weight, vapor chamber cooling, and a larger battery capacity are also among the rumored new features. It is still possible that a new iPhone Air could launch in the fall of next year, especially if Apple has expedited development of new features, since this was the original scheduled launch time frame. Nevertheless, it would be surprising if the multitude of rumors indicating a delayed launch were mistaken.

With the end of 2025 near, the time has come to look back at the devices and accessories that Apple discontinued throughout the year. Most of the products that were discontinued this year were simply replaced by a new model with an updated chip. However, the iPhone SE line was entirely discontinued when the iPhone 16e launched, and the iPhone Plus line is being phased out. Below, we have listed 25 products that were discontinued by Apple this year. iPhones Apple discontinued the third-generation iPhone SE in February, after introducing the iPhone 16e. As a result, Apple no longer sells any iPhone models with a Home button, Touch ID, LCD screen, a sub-6-inch screen size, or Lightning. The original iPhone SE was released in March 2016. That model's design was largely based on the iPhone 5s, with key specs including a 4-inch display, a Touch ID home button, and an aluminum and glass frame with chamfered edges. However, the device was powered by a newer A9 chip from the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. Apple went on to release two more iPhone SE models in 2020 and 2022, respectively, with those devices having a similar design as the iPhone 8. Meanwhile, the iPhone Plus has effectively been replaced by the ultra-thin iPhone Air in Apple's smartphone lineup. Both the iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 15 Plus were discontinued this year, and it is only a matter of time before the iPhone 16 Plus is axed too. Apple is not expected to release another Plus model in the foreseeable future. Here are all of the iPhone models that were discontinued this year:iPhone 16 Pro Max (succeeded by iPhone 17 Pro Max) iPhone 16 Pro (succeeded by iPhone 17 Pro) iPhone 15 Plus iPhone 15 iPhone 14 Plus iPhone 14 iPhone SE (succeeded by iPhone 16e)iPads It was a spec-bump year for the iPad lineup, with the iPad Pro, iPad Air, and entry-level iPad all receiving faster chips, but no major design changes. Here are all of the iPad models that were discontinued this year: iPad Pro with M4 chip (updated with M5 chip) iPad Air with M2 chip (updated with M3 chip) iPad 10 (updated with A16 chip)Apple Watches Apple Watch Series 11 is a very minor upgrade over the now-discontinued Series 10, but the Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Apple Watch SE 3 offer some more meaningful changes. None of the latest Apple Watch models received a new chip, though. Here are all of the Apple Watch models that were discontinued this year: Apple Watch Ultra 2 (succeeded by Apple Watch Ultra 3) Apple Watch Series 10 (succeeded by Apple Watch Series 11) Apple Watch SE 2 (succeeded by Apple Watch SE 3)Macs Here are all of the Mac models that were discontinued this year: Mac Studio with M2 Max and M2 Ultra chips (updated with M4 Max and M3 Ultra chips) 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4 chip (updated with M5 chip) 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air with M3 chip (updated with M4 chip) 13-inch MacBook Air with M2 chipOther Here are other Apple products and accessories that were discontinued this year: AirPods Pro 2 (succeeded by AirPods Pro 3) Apple Vision Pro with M2 chip (updated with M5 chip) MagSafe Charger with Qi 2 (succeeded by MagSafe Charger with Qi 2.2 support) 30W USB-C Power Adapter (succeeded by 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max)* Lightning to 3.5mm Audio Cable (succeeded by USB-C to 3.5mm Audio Cable) MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter* In the U.S., U.K., Canada, Japan, and select other countries only.

Samsung is preparing to supply Apple with advanced image sensors for the iPhone in Austin, Texas, according to The Elec. The sensors will reportedly be made by Samsung at its existing facility in Austin. The company is expected to install production equipment for the project in the near future and has posted job listings for mechanical and electrical technicians, engineers, and managers to work on set up. Samsung is expected to make the iPhone's image sensor with a three-stack design, which enables higher pixel density and improved low-light performance by vertically stacking multiple sensor layers. Stacked sensor architecture also allows for faster readout speeds, reduced power consumption, and higher dynamic range. This manufacturing process has not previously been deployed at a commercial scale. Earlier this month, Samsung notified the city of council of Austin of its intention to spend $19 billion on its Austin facility. The new image sensor production line is expected to begin operation in March at the earliest. The new sensor is believed to be destined for the iPhone 18, which is expected to launch in the first half of 2027. Apple reportedly reached a deal with Samsung in August for supply of the component. This will be the first time Apple will move away from Sony as the sole supplier for iPhone image sensors and make the component in the United States. Today, Sony is the sole supplier of iPhone image sensors; they are produced in Japan and delivered via TSMC.Related Roundup: iPhone 18Tags: Texas, The ElecRelated Forum: iPhoneThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums12:42 pmApple Intelligence will be tested with 2,000 questions it must not answer in China

Macworld In the 15 years since it first appeared on the iPhone, Apple’s Find My technology has transformed from a simple GPS-based phone finder to a versatile ecosystem of devices not just from Apple but many specialized accessory makers in all exciting shapes, sizes, and forms. Apple’s Find My app offers a unified, secure way to locate all your Apple devices (iPhone, Watch, AirPods, and Mac) and items (AirTags plus third-party trackers such as these reviewed here) via an anonymous network of millions of Apple devices that ping encrypted Bluetooth to report their location back to iCloud, even when offline. These are detected by other nearby Apple devices, relaying the location data securely to you. Find My helps you to locate misplaced items in seconds, alerts you if you leave them behind, and works through your Apple device. Find My features See all your devices on a map Get the distance and direction with Precision Finding Share your lost item’s location Play a sound to find your device Notify When Left Behind Display a message for someone who finds it Find devices that are offline or powered off Best Find My AirTag alternatives Apple’s AirTags are cute, but at 8mm thick, they’re too bulbous to realistically fit in your wallet. The most common type of AirTag alternative that works directly with Apple’s Find My is a thin card design that can slip into your wallet or purse just like a bank card. These can be under 2mm in thickness. If you have an AirTag, stop reading and check out the best AirTag accessories, but if you need a new tracker, Apple’s Find My ecosystem has broken away from locating just Apple devices and AirTags to tracking just about anything, from keys to wallets, glasses cases, and passports, to bikes and pets. Satechi’s FindAll and Journey’s LOC8 are two ranges that make up a few of the products we’ve tested and reviewed here, but there are plenty more, too. As well as linking to Apple’s Find My app as well as Google’s Android Find Hub, the Chipolo range comes with its own app that boasts extra functions such as the ability to make your phone ring when it’s hiding nearby by simply double-pressing the tracker’s button—you can even change the ringtone and volume to make it easier to recognize. You can also double-press the Chipolo trackers to use them as a remote shutter button for your phone’s camera. Here we roundup the best Find My Bluetooth trackers, sorted by category. Some of them also work with Google Find Hub as well as Apple Find My. Think of each as an AirTag in a different shape and form—usually more convenient than Apple’s bulbous tracker pebble.

It works with the two major Find apps (iOS and Android), but also connects to its own Chipolo app mentioned at the start of this article. You can buy a 4-pack of mixed colors for $90/£90.

Macworld Think back to the end of 2024. It was a more innocent time. Sure, after unveiling Apple Intelligence with great fanfare at WWDC in June that year, it hadn’t actually shipped much (other than a raft of TV commercials featuring nonexistent features). But surely the company wouldn’t let us down. 2025 was truly going to be the year Siri got fixed, and Apple Intelligence took flight. Well, about that… March 2025 arrived, and Apple admitted that it just couldn’t make it all work, and the more personalized Siri promised in 2024 wouldn’t come until sometime “in the coming year,” which, for the record, is next year. Anyway, at the end of 2024, I made my usual predictions and wishcasting in public for Macworld–I’ve been doing this for, what, a decade now? And in those heady days, I trusted that Apple would deliver what it promised and that 2025 would be the “year of Apple Intelligence.” In 2024, Apple promised big AI things. Then 2025 came and went, without a peep from AI.Apple I actually said that. I don’t know if I’ve missed a prediction as badly in the entire time I’ve been doing this. Apple had such a track record of not promising what it couldn’t deliver that I really did believe it would not promise a feature it couldn’t ship. But you know the story, as Apple tells it–the feature couldn’t meet the company’s “quality bar” and was therefore kicked into the following year. Whatever else Apple did in 2025, and it actually did quite a lot, it will forever be remembered as the year that it admitted it had not lived up to its own quality bar when it came to shipping the features that it promised. And if failing to meet the AI moment ends up being an important data point in the long-term history of Apple, it will be easy to point directly at Apple’s 2025 rollback of 2024’s announcements. Apple is a company that generally has avoided the trap of overpromising and underdelivering. That it happened shows just how much pressure Apple felt it was under to show that it had AI well in hand. The success reaped in 2024 came back to haunt it in 2025. I thought the company would just power through and get where it needed to go… and it simply couldn’t get there. It’s one of the biggest admissions of mortality and limitation that Apple has offered in more than a decade. Still, by the end of last year, it was already clear that the Apple Intelligence rollout was more style than substance. In my predictions for the year, I said that Apple Intelligence would “continue to be the same mishmash of useful and useless features” that we had already seen, and that “by the end of 2025 Siri still won’t be as good as it should be.” The skepticism was right, but I certainly didn’t expect this level of failure. The Siri delay affected the products Apple planned to release in 2025.Apple Similarly, after Apple did all but declare Google Gemini as a future partner at WWDC 2024, we all expected Apple to announce that it was joining ChatGPT as an AI model connected with Siri on Apple devices. Apple executives would mention Gemini and essentially wink at the audience, again and again. And yet… it never happened. It still hasn’t happened. ChatGPT integration is all there is, and even that integration is so far from the current state of the art for ChatGPT. What a mess. Apple’s failure to build a better Siri driven by AI had an effect on everything. I thought predicting Apple’s triumphant re-entry into the smart home market with a new product was almost a no-brainer. That turned out to be exactly the problem: Apple apparently designed a home-control device with smart Siri as its brain, and if there was no smart Siri, that product had to be put on hold. Nothing exposes the imbalance between Apple’s hardware designers and its software organization than multiple products reportedly being finished months or years in advance, forced to idle because their software isn’t up to snuff. Fortunately, most of the time you bank on Apple’s hardware delivering, you get it right. After numerous reports that the company would ship the thinnest iPhone ever, it did that. I predicted that it would be priced less than $1,000, and since it starts at $999 I think I can say that I nailed it. I also predicted the iPhone Air would offer “enough technical compromises to infuriate a whole bunch of tech nerds.” That’s a prediction that combines my decades of knowledge of Apple with my decades of knowledge of tech nerds, and I think I pretty much nailed it. Let’s face it: predicting the arrival of a bunch of M4 Macs and, eventually, the M5 was not so hard. I learned how to count when I was very young and I mostly don’t even need to use my fingers anymore. But nobody outside of Apple’s chip lab would’ve predicted that there would be a new M3 Mac in 2025, and there was, courtesy of the M3 Ultra-powered Mac Studio. The iPhone Air may be Apple’s thinnest iPhone, but customers laid it on pretty thick when it came to the phone’s compromises.Foundry Turning to Apple’s thriving services business, I expected continued growth–about as easy a bet as guessing that M5 would follow M4–as well as a big theatrical film and a bunch of prestigious TV shows. Between the arrival of F1 The Movie and the rise of awards darlings Severance and The Studio, Apple’s film and TV division had a great year. But I also predicted that, despite all the buzz on the subject, Apple would end up not buying major sports rights. Instead, the company went out and outbid ESPN for Formula 1 rights in the United States. Guess all that time spent working with the racing circuit for the Brad Pitt film rubbed off. Still, I correctly predicted that Apple wouldn’t try to buy a movie studio. While Netflix and Paramount continue to joust over control of Warner Bros. Discovery, which follows the Skydance purchase of Paramount, Apple seems content to not be involved with any of that. It’s got a pretty good thing going, I think. Where does that leave us? Apple’s biggest surprise in 2025 was actually its failure to deliver what it promised in 2024, forcing the company to kick a big portion of Apple Intelligence down the road into 2026. Apple continued to release impressive new hardware products like clockwork in 2025, but its ill-advised promises at WWDC 2024 lingered like a hangover, darkening the vibe of the entire year.11:07 am2025: The year SwiftUI died

Apple is working on a foldable iPhone that's set to come out in September 2026, and rumors suggest that it will have a display that's around 5.4 inches when closed and 7.6 inches when open. Exact measurements vary based on rumors, but one 3D designer has created a mockup based on what we've heard so far. On MakerWorld, a user named Subsy has uploaded a 1:1 iPhone Fold replica (via Macworld), which can be 3D printed to give you a rough idea of the size of the upcoming foldable iPhone. Subsy claims that the model is "based on recently leaked CAD drawings of the iPhone Fold," but there haven't been actual CAD leaks to our knowledge. There were reports of CAD drawings earlier this month, but it turns out those drawings were concept drawings and renders created by MacRumors reader iZac back in May. iZac designed a mockup with a 5.5-inch display when the device is closed, and 7.76 inches when open. That's in line with the multiple rumors that we've heard, but so far, we don't have exact dimensions. While you can now print a 3D mockup of iZac's concept, the design isn't based on an actual CAD render. It's likely somewhat similar to what the iPhone Fold will look like in terms of size, but Apple's design for the cameras and the hinge will probably differ quite a bit. If you have a 3D printer, it's a useful way to get something that's close to the size of the iPhone Fold so you can see how it compares to your existing iPhone. We'll likely see more accurate CAD renders and dummy models starting to surface in the first months of 2026.This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums09:16 pmGoogle One discounting annual 2 TB and AI Pro plans by 50%

A Texas federal judge today blocked an App Store age verification law that was set to go into effect on January 1, 2026, which means Apple may not have to support the changes after all. The Texas App Store Accountability Act (SB2420) requires Apple and other app marketplaces to confirm user age when a person creates an Apple Account. Apple Accounts for users under 18 would need to join a Family Sharing group, with new controls available for parents and restrictions for minors. In a preliminary injunction that delays the implementation of the act, Judge Robert Pitman said that it violates the First Amendment and is "more likely than not unconstitutional." The Act is akin to a law that would require every bookstore to verify the age of every customer at the door and, for minors, require parental consent before the child or teen could enter and again when they try to purchase a book. As set out below, the Court finds a likelihood that, when considered on the merits, SB 2420 violates the First Amendment. The injunction was in response to a motion filed by the Computer and Communications Industry Association (CCIA), a group that includes Apple and Google. Today's decision is a win for Apple, as Apple has been fighting against age assurance requirements in Texas and other states. Apple says that the Texas law impacts user privacy. While we share the goal of strengthening kids' online safety, we are concerned that SB2420 impacts the privacy of users by requiring the collection of sensitive, personally identifiable information to download any app, even if a user simply wants to check the weather or sports scores. The court will move on to determining whether the law is facially invalid, which would mean that it is unconstitutional and will be entirely thrown out.Tag: TexasThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums08:28 pmI built a “Tinder for Photos” app to fix my storage anxiety.

Samsung is working on a new foldable smartphone that's wider and shorter than the models that it's released before, according to Korean news site ETNews. The "Wide Fold" will compete with Apple's iPhone Fold that's set to launch in September 2026. Samsung's existing Galaxy Z Fold7 display is 6.5 inches when closed, and 8 inches when open, with a 21:9 aspect ratio when folded and a 20:18 aspect ratio when open. Samsung has used a similar size for its prior Z Fold devices. Rumors suggest the iPhone Fold's display will measure in at 5.3 to 5.5 inches when closed, and 7.5 to 7.8 inches when open (rumors vary). It's squatter and wider than Samsung's taller, narrower design, with a 4:3 aspect ratio when open. Samsung's "Wide Fold" will coincidentally feature a 7.6-inch display when open, and a 5.4-inch display when closed. It's also expected to have a 4:3 aspect ratio, making it noticeably different than prior models because of the more square shape. The wider 4:3 aspect ratio is expected to be more comfortable to hold than a taller device, similar to a notebook. ETNews says that Samsung plans to release its wider foldable device in the fall of 2026, which is also when the iPhone Fold will be coming out. The wide fold will join the next-generation Galaxy Fold for a total of two "Fold" devices, plus there will be a flip device.Tags: Foldable iPhone, SamsungThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums07:12 pmiOS 26.3: New features for your iPhone

Macworld According to reports, the foldable iPhone is going to arrive next year. Now, foldable phones have been around for a while, so the concept isn’t new, but Apple’s take on it certainly is. If you’ve been wondering what an iPhone Fold (or whatever Apple decides to call it) is going to look like, we might have an idea right now. A user who goes by Subsy posted on MakerWorld a physical, plastic model of the iPhone Fold, based on leaked CAD files reportedly leaked from Apple’s own production line. The model isn’t supposed to be an exact replica of what Apple will ship next year (for example, Subsy’s hinge isn’t based on any Apple design), but it’s “a physical reference you can actually hold.” And from what Subsy created, the iPhone Fold is going to have a very different design from what iPhone and folding phone users are accustomed to. Based on the model, Apple has decided to prioritize the form factor of the iPhone Fold when it is unfolded, where the aspects closely resemble those of an iPad mini. That means that when folded, the iPhone Fold’s shape is a lot more square than a regular iPhone. That’s a different approach from Android folding phones, which often have tall, skinny outer displays to maintain the folded form as a more traditional rectangular shape. Thus, the inside of the folding iPhone will be more widescreen than foldable offerings from Samsung and Google. We could get a sense of how real this square-ish form is at WWDC in June. Though Apple won’t specifically address this new form factor, the company could introduce methods for developers to vary app UI designs so that their apps will be able to adjust and maintain usability. It could also go so far as to preview the folding phone months before it releases, as it did with the original iPhone back in 2007.06:45 pmUI Feedback Wanted: App that Tracks University Admission Chances

Macworld As 2025 comes to a close, Macworld is proud to present our Apple awards, a look back at the best and worst of everything released over the past 12 months. It was a busy year for Apple, with new products across its entire range of products, including iPhone, iPad, AirPods, Mac, and even Vision Pro. So join us as we recognize the products that made the most impact in 2025: iPhone/iOS Emma Rowley / Foundry iPhone of the Year: iPhone 17 The iPhone 17 isn’t just the best iPhone of 2025; it’s the best iPhone of the last five years. Apple finally stopped holding back features that should be table stakes for an $800 phone. You get double the storage, 120Hz ProMotion, 50 percent higher peak brightness, always-on display, better cameras, and speed and battery life that both exceed last year’s Pro model. All without raising the price. There’s never been a better year not to go Pro. — Jason Cross Apple iOS feature of the year: Tackling Spam Call Screening will silently answer unknown numbers and ask them to say why they’re calling, and you can see it all right on screen. It’s a great way to eliminate spam calls without missing legit calls from numbers that just aren’t in your contacts. Couple that with new spam filtering in Messages, as well as in the Phone app and FaceTime, and Apple is finally doing something about one of the biggest pain points of using a smartphone. There’s still a long way to go, but since upgrading to iOS 26 and enabling these features, I’ve noticed a big drop in the number of times a day I pick up my phone only to immediately hang up on a solicitation message. — Jason Cross Britta O’Boyle Color of the Year: Cosmic Orange For the company that ostracized beige as the default color in computing when it launched the out-there Bondi Blue iMac in 1998, Apple has been rather tame in terms of its recent color choices. The iPhone 17 Pro’s Cosmic Orange is therefore a refreshing shock to the system and a vibrant return to form. Orange is no longer restricted to traffic cones and dodgy Seventies furniture. The Apple Store should hand out sunglasses for the crowds picking up the vibrant new iPhone and ignoring the dark blue one. There’s even a growing range of orange accessories available for the new phone. — Simon Jary Apple Oddity of the Year: iPhone Pocket Readers of a certain vintage who still fondly remember when Apple released a pair of socks for its iPod back in 2004, were rocked once again with the unexpected—and indeed unasked-for—iPhone Pocket, which the company described as “a singular 3D-knitted construction designed to fully enclose iPhone, while expanding to fit your everyday items”. Designed in conjunction with the Issey Miyake design studio famous for Steve Jobs’ trademark turtleneck, the iPhone Pocket comes in eight crazy colors, including Peacock, Sapphire, and Cinnamon. We all laughed until it sold out in mere minutes. — Simon Jary Foundry Flop of the Year: Liquid Glass Liquid Glass was Apple’s bold new, all-encompassing design language that radically changed the look of Apple’s software across all of the OS 26 software updates. Alan Dye, Apple’s vice president of Human Interface Design, tried to channel his inner Jony Ive by describing it as making “even the simplest of interactions more fun and magical.” We didn’t get that. Instead, Liquid Glass is the worst example of flamboyance over function, the opposite of Ive’s philosophy. — Simon Jary Mac/macOS Foundry Mac of the Year: M3 Ultra Mac Studio Overall, 2025 was a quiet year for Mac hardware, but one Mac made a sizable impact on Apple’s lineup. The Mac Studio was a bit of a surprise because its M3 Ultra chip was released out of sequence with Apple’s usual cadence. Still, in the Mac Studio, it’s the fastest Mac available, leaving the M2 Ultra Mac Pro behind—way behind. At thousands less, it basically renders the Mac Pro irrelevant to everyone who doesn’t really need an expansion card. With its exhilarating CPU speed, powerful GPU performance, and robust expandability, the Mac Studio became King of the Macs in 2025. — Roman Loyola Apple Chip of the Year: M5 To say, “Apple is on a roll,” undercuts how much momentum the company has with its chips. Apple silicon is downright killing it, and the M5 chip exemplifies why. Making its debut in the MacBook Pro, the M5 provides an ideal and unprecedented combination of processing speed, graphics power, and energy efficiency in a consumer-level chip. The M5 is so good that Apple felt that it could wait until next year to release the M5 Pro and Max variants. — Roman Loyola Foundry Disappointment of the Year: Mac Pro While every other Mac has some version of the M4 and the 14-inch MacBook Pro has an M5, Apple’s most expensive Mac still has the same M2 Ultra chip it got back in June 2023. Meanwhile, the Mac Studio with a superior M3 Ultra costs a couple of thousand dollars less, and I’m left to wonder: How can Apple charge upwards of $10,000 for a Mac with a two-plus-generation-old chip? There were plenty of opportunities to update the Mac Pro in 2025, but instead, Apple let it languish another year with the same aging processor. — Roman Loyola iPad/iPadOS Foundry iPad of the Year: iPad Pro M5 Apple updated three of its four iPads in 2025 (sorry iPad mini), but the M5 iPad Pro is really the only one that could be considered for this distinction. All three updates were essentially chip refreshes (A14 to A16 (iPad); M2 to M3 (iPad Air); M4 to M5 (iPad Pro), but only the iPad Pro delivered a noticeable boost over its predecessor. Add in 50 percent more entry-level RAM, faster Wi-Fi, and fast charging, and you’ve got an upgrade worthy of a pro. — Michael Simon Apple Update of the year: iPadOS 26 This year’s WWDC keynote was jam-packed with features, from Liquid Glass to Live Translation and revamped app designs. But the star of the show was iPadOS 26, which introduced a new interface that incorporated many of the visual and productivity elements users have wanted for years, with resizable windows, macOS-like multitasking, and a new lease on life. — Michael Simon Apple Watch David Price / Foundry Watch of the year: Apple Watch SE 3 Strictly speaking, the Series 11 was the best Apple Watch to come out this year (I find the Ultra models too bulky for everyday wear), but the SE 3 was without a doubt the one I’d recommend to a friend. It’s nearly as good and far better value. As part of the 2025 refresh, the SE gained an always-on display, a bigger and longer-lasting battery, improved scratch resistance, new health features and gestures, on-device Siri, and the option of 5G. And all that for $249! Forget the Series 11; this has everything you need from a smartwatch at an excellent price. — David Price Services Apple Apple TV show of the year: ‘Pluribus’ There’s something nerve-wracking about recommending a TV show in the middle of a run–particularly one as unpredictable as Pluribus. Who knows where it will go from here? But just six episodes into the debut season of this frequently funny, occasionally harrowing sci-fi drama, and even against strong competition from the second season of Severance, I feel (reasonably) confident naming this as the Apple TV show of the year. As you’d expect from a Vince Gilligan production, Pluribus flips seamlessly between slow-burn beauty and sudden shocking action, between grief and humor and mystery. And Rhea Seehorn is superb as the last unhappy woman in the world. Maybe it’ll go downhill at some point, but let’s enjoy the ride while it lasts. — David Price Foundry Service of the year: News + Apple TV and Music may get all the attention, but Apple News+ came into its own in 2025. Apple’s daily puzzles had long revolved around somewhat pedestrian offerings, such as crosswords and Sudoku, but a completely original concept, Emoji Game, quickly became a unique and highly entertaining option for users seeking original concepts. And for those of us who have grown sick of the fluff and intrusive ads we come across when Googling recipes, Apple News+ added a new search function that lets you find recipes and view the ingredients and directions in a clutter-free interface. Neat, right? It gets better. You can directly set timers based on the stated durations and add the listed ingredients to your Reminders app. — Mahmoud Itani04:14 pmDo you recommend running Appstore ads?
App is 2 days old. Most of the downloads come from search. Appstore connect is a bit behind, I can see from RevenueCat it’s at 75 downloads with proceeds at $65. What do you guys think? I have 0 experience with appstore ads and I’m not sure if it would make sense. Thank you! […]04:09 pmiOS 26 lets you customize Liquid Glass on your iPhone, here’s how

Tech giants Google and Apple are asking some employees with H-1B visas to reconsider international travel, as their legal teams warned that visa processing delays could keep employees abroad for months, according to Business Insider. From a report: Law firms representing the tech giants sent memos advising staff who require visa stamps for reentry to stay in the U.S., warning that international travel could entangle them in visa screening delays following the introduction of a new social media screening requirement, according to the news agency. The policy subjects H-1B workers and their dependents to reviews of their social media histories. "Please be aware that some US Embassies and Consulates are experiencing significant visa stamping appointment delays, currently reported as up to 12 months," BAL Immigration Law, which represents Google, said in a memo obtained by Business Insider. The law firm said the delays were affecting H-1B, H-4, F, J and M visas. Read more of this story at Slashdot.03:50 pmToday in Apple history: Apple invents ‘slide to unlock’
