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?

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.

Due to regulatory action, Apple has agreed to allow alternative app stores, third-party payment systems for in-app purchases, and in-app links to external offers on iOS in Brazil, according to legal news website MLex and Brazilian blog Tecnoblog. This means that iPhone users in Brazil would gain access to options beyond Apple's App Store, such as the AltStore from Riley Testut and Shane Gill. The changes must be implemented within 105 days, so Apple has until early April to roll them out. That timeframe might align with the release of iOS 26.4. Apple has already allowed alternative app stores and/or third-party payment systems on iOS in the EU, Japan, and South Korea, and it will likely be forced to do so in the UK and Australia too, due to similar regulations across those regions. AltStore Apple has opposed alternative app stores due to privacy and security concerns. "If you prefer using apps that have met all of Apple's App Review Guidelines, including Apple's standards for privacy, security, and quality, you can use the App Store," says Apple, in a support document about alternative app distribution.Related Roundups: iOS 26, iPadOS 26Tag: App StoreRelated Forum: iOS 26This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums03:26 pmiPhone 18 Pro: Six new features are coming next year

Apple has been fined $116 million by Italy's antitrust regulator over the "excessively burdensome" privacy rules it imposes on third-party apps. From a report: The Italian Competition Authority (AGCM) says that Apple abused its dominant app store market position by burdening developers with "disproportionate" terms around data collection that exceed privacy law requirements, compared to rules for native iOS apps. The fine specifically targets the App Tracking Transparency (ATT) policy Apple launched in 2021, which requires third-party developers to ask users for consent twice to track their data across other apps and websites. Apple's own apps can obtain this permission in a single tap. AGCM says that the burden of consenting twice led to a reduction in user consent rates for advertising profiling, thus harming developers whose business models depend upon revenue generated by personalized ads.

Macworld Video editing today sits at a crossroads. Creators want professional results, but few have the time—or patience—for overly complex tools and fragmented workflows. Wondershare Filmora V15 is designed precisely for this moment, combining advanced AI-powered automation with professional-grade controls that remain approachable, intuitive, and fast. At its core, Filmora V15, from innovative creative solutions provider Wondershare, addresses two long-standing pain points: editing that feels slow and labor-intensive, and pro-level tools that are often inaccessible to non-experts. The solution is a smarter, more connected creative experience—one where AI handles the heavy lifting, while creators stay firmly in control. Wondershare AI Mate: your all-in-one creative editing partner The headline feature of Filmora V15 is AI Mate, an integrated AI assistant that fundamentally changes how users interact with the software. AI Mate offers four precise operating modes. AIGC Mode focuses on generating content assets—such as scripts and videos. Action Mode automatically break down multi-step tasks and execute the corresponding editing actions with a single click. In guide mode, instead of hunting through menus or tutorials, creators can simply ask for what they need using natural language. Auto Mode allows AI Mate to interpret the user’s intent and intelligently select and activate the most suitable mode from the above. For beginners, this feature dramatically lowers the learning curve. For experienced editors, it accelerates workflows and keeps creative momentum flowing. AI Mate turns Filmora into a collaborative editing partner—one that helps ideas move from concept to timeline without friction. Wondershare Foundational Algorithm Optimization: a new AI engine under the hood Filmora V15 also delivers major upgrades to its AI generation backbone through foundational algorithm optimization. The integration of Nano Banana Pro brings faster image generation, native lossless output, flexible aspect ratios, and significantly improved detail and text rendering for AI images. For AI video generation, Filmora V15 integrates Sora 2 and Veo 3.1, pushing text-to-video and image-to-video creation to a new level. These models deliver smoother motion, stronger multimodal understanding, more complete audio, and coherent long-form storytelling—all generated from a single prompt. The result is AI content that feels less mechanical and more cinematic. AI Extend and Smart Cutout: fix problems before they break flow Two standout AI editing tools focus on solving real-world editing frustrations. AI Extend allows creators to extend clips with text prompts—up to five seconds forward or eight seconds backward—making it easy to smooth transitions or fix timing issues without reshoots. Meanwhile, Smart Cutout has been upgraded for more precise subject detection and cleaner edge refinement. With minimal manual input, users can isolate subjects, remove backgrounds, or even apply outlines to highlight key elements—perfect for social, marketing, and educational content. Wondershare Audio made professional, instantly Sound quality is often the difference between amateur and professional content, and Filmora V15 makes audio control far more accessible. Loudness Normalization automatically adjusts audio to meet platform-specific LUFS/LKFS standards with one click, ensuring consistent volume across YouTube, podcasts, and social platforms. Audio Gain complements this by allowing batch gain adjustments across multiple clips, with flexible modes for fixed gain, relative changes, or peak normalization. Together, these tools remove guesswork from audio mixing and help creators sound polished without technical headaches. Precision tools that feel effortless Filmora V15 doesn’t rely on AI alone. It introduces professional tools designed to feel natural and visual rather than intimidating. The new Pen Tool lets editors draw motion paths directly in the frame, shaping curves, controlling speed, and designing custom transitions with precision. For data-driven storytelling, Animated Charts transform raw numbers into clear, animated visuals with one-click imports and customizable styles—ideal for business videos, explainers, and presentations. Wondershare A professional workflow without the complexity Underneath the surface, Filmora V15 supports advanced workflows with features like dual timelines, source and timeline previews, subprojects, and multi-track audio exports. Yet everything remains anchored in Filmora’s signature ease of use, supported by millions of built-in creative assets and AI-powered automation. Editing that moves with you Wondershare Filmora V15 represents a clear evolution in video editing: AI that accelerates creativity, professional tools that don’t overwhelm, and workflows designed around how creators actually work. The Premium version of Wondershare Filmora Video Editor costs just $6.67 a month or $79.99 a year, including 2,000 AI Credits, 100GB of Filmora Cloud Storage and much more. It’s not about replacing creativity with automation—it’s about removing friction, so ideas can move faster, stories can flow naturally, and professional results feel within reach for everyone.

We’ve so far been assuming that the iPhone Fold would have a familiar aspect ratio on the exterior display, opening out into an interior screen which is taller than it is wide. However, a recent report suggested that the interior screen will be wider than it is tall, and some physical mockups give us an indication of how this might look … more…01:21 pmWhy Apple's Foldable iPhone May Be Smaller Than Expected
Apple's first foldable iPhone, rumored for release next year, may turn out to be smaller than most people imagine, if a recent report is anything to go by. According to The Information, the outer display on the book-style device will measure just 5.3 inches – that's smaller than the 5.4-inch screen on the iPhone mini, a line Apple discontinued in 2022 due to poor sales. The report has led some people to wonder why Apple would settle on such a compact form factor. Using The Information's reported dimensions, content creator Ben Gaskin has shared some images and video of a printed version of the device (embedded below) that help envision what it could look and feel like in the hand, and also hint at Apple's design strategy – suggesting it is related to an unavoidable trade-off between the outer and inner displays of a book-style foldable. A taller, phone-like outer screen generally leads to a more square inner panel once unfolded, which can be awkward for many types of content, like videos and two open windows in Split View. Conversely, a more rectangular inner display that better supports multi-window use inevitably forces the outer display to become wider or smaller, making it less comfortable to hold and less conventional in use. Printed a passport-style foldable phone to see how comfortable this form factor is in real life.5.3-inch cover display7.7-inch main display pic.twitter.com/5ae58Bc2Cq— Ben Geskin (@BenGeskin) December 18, 2025 Reports suggesting Apple has opted for a roughly 4:3 aspect ratio on the inner display strongly suggest Apple is favoring the latter approach. A 4:3 inner display would allow Apple to more easily transfer established multitasking features from iPadOS, such as Split View, into a foldable form. Here the unfolded state becomes the main mode of use, prioritizing a lightweight, ultra-portable iPad experience over a stretched-out smartphone. That said, the iPhone Fold in its closed state is likely to feel more like a smaller everyday phone than other foldables on the market. Compare the rumored 5.3-inch outer screen size with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, which has a 6.5-inch front display, or the Google Pixel Pro Fold, whose cover screen comes in at 6.3 inches. Indeed, the iPhone Fold's front display would be smaller than almost all current major foldables, suggesting Apple is deliberately diverging from the "outer screen as primary phone" philosophy. When choosing size, Apple will of course have a very deliberate product strategy in mind. While Samsung and Google largely treat the cover display on their foldables as a full-time smartphone screen, Apple may see the device's folded state as a secondary experience, suited to notifications, quick replies, and other glanceable interactions, while reserving the main experience for when the device is unfolded. Comparison with the iPhone 17 Pro Max pic.twitter.com/MpJ80AwHXw— Ben Geskin (@BenGeskin) December 18, 2025 However, software too has its limits. If users expect to browse, type extensively, or use third-party apps in the folded state, no amount of interface refinement will fully overcome a physically smaller canvas. That's what makes the comparison to the iPhone mini so notable – especially for a device expected to command a price premium of anywhere between $2,000 and $2,500, which would make it Apple's most expensive ever iPhone. Ultimately, the rumored dimensions suggest Apple is betting on the value of the unfolded experience rather than the comfort of the folded one. The company seems willing to accept a smaller, less conventional outer display if it ensures the inner display can shine at the system and app level. If users come to think of the device not as a larger iPhone, but as an iPad that happens to fold into a pocket, the design trade-offs start to look far more intentional, and far more Apple-like. 16:9 video playback on 7.7-inch display vs. 6.9-inch iPhone 17 Pro Max display (image credit: @BenGeskin).

Macworld 2025 has been a pretty momentous year in terms of the apps I used on my iPhone. Whether it was a new discovery that changed the way I work, or an old favorite that kept delivering, iOS apps helped improve my life in multiple ways. Hopefully, you experienced something similar. Here, I highlight those apps and explain why I’ve chosen them as my top picks over the last 12 months. Perhaps they could help you in similar ways throughout 2026. AI: ChatGPT Artificial intelligence (AI) has changed the world in unbelievable ways, with ChatGPT undoubtedly leading the charge. While Apple Intelligence struggled and floundered, OpenAI’s model went from strength to strength, and its ChatGPT iOS app showed how an AI app should work on iOS. I’ve found that ChatGPT is most valuable when it’s used in a targeted way or when you’re looking for a specific solution. Asking it vague, general questions is fine, but not where its real strength lies. No, ChatGPT was incredibly valuable to me in 2025 when I used it to find information that traditional methods just couldn’t locate. Using ChatGPT to resolve an Excel formula.Foundry For example, ChatGPT came in clutch time and time again with Microsoft Excel, of all things. I use Excel most days, and I often want to achieve a specific outcome using a formula, without knowing how to structure the actual formula that I need. But if I try to find the answer using Google, I get nowhere; the search engine is absolutely useless at understanding what I want. Ask ChatGPT, though, and it instantly has the correct answer drawn up in seconds. Better yet, I can ask it to adjust the formula, and it’ll tweak its solution, ready to go. It’s a glaring example of the deficiencies of modern search engines compared to AI. ChatGPT has helped me in countless other ways, big and small, where I’ve been left frustrated after searching forums or trying Google. If these methods get you nowhere, give ChatGPT a try. Just be sure to double-check the solution somewhere else, as OpenAI’s chatbot is still capable of the odd hallucination. Reading: Matter The most frequent way I use my iPhone is to read online content. Sometimes that means ceaselessly scrolling Reddit, while other times it means saving articles for later. Pocket used to be my read-it-later app of choice, but when Mozilla shut it down, I went searching for alternatives. The app I settled on was Matter. Like Pocket, Matter makes it incredibly easy to save articles from around the web thanks to its share sheet integration, web browser extension, and more. It’s even set up to import your saves from other like-minded apps in just a few taps, which made switching from Pocket utterly effortless. Matter for iPhoneFoundry It’s stuffed with handy extras, like a tool that will transcribe your podcasts so you can read along (with a built-in AirPods gesture for highlighting paragraphs), or a discovery feed of fresh articles you might like. It looks great and is plenty customizable, and it can speak your articles aloud in a convincingly natural AI voice if you don’t fancy reading. It’s ramped up my learning this year and has filled a Pocket-shaped hole in my digital life. Meditation: Down Dog Self-improvement and self-understanding are trending ideas these days, but you don’t have to go looking for some modish fad to improve your life–try out the ancient practice of meditation instead. It can leave you feeling calmer and with a better knowledge of yourself and your foibles, and there’s no better app I’ve found to help you do that than Down Dog’s Meditation. Down Dog for iPhoneFoundry While many alternatives offer you a pre-made meditation curriculum that you must follow to the letter, Down Dog takes the opposite approach by making almost everything customizable. You can change the meditation topic, the background music, the session’s theme, whether it’s guided or not–if it is, you can change the voice of the person leading the practice. Better yet, all the voices are recorded by real people without a trace of AI. Its wide range of adjustments means I can fine-tune each meditation session to my liking. However, I’m feeling on any given day, I know I’ll get something valuable out of the app because it adapts to me, not the other way around. Calendar: Fantastical Apple’s Calendar was my planning app of choice for years, although it was largely an unthinking choice. It was just there, ready to go. When I did start thinking about it, I realized I could do so much better. Enter Fantastical. Long a favorite of Apple fans, this app adds a wealth of features that Apple’s default app lacks, from a variety of views and customization options to natural language input and quick weather indicators for each day. You can set your day-to-day availability and let people make appointments with you, too. Fantasical for iPhoneFoundry I’m someone who regularly switches between the Apple ecosystem and my Windows PC, so Apple’s Calendar was never the ideal app for me because it doesn’t exist on Microsoft’s operating system. Fantastical, though, has a Windows app, letting me finally make the switch on all my devices. It’s never been easier for me to organize my day and stay on top of my schedule. Podcasts: Overcast I listen to a lot of podcasts, so it’s important that the app I use is up to scratch. The choice I’ve settled on is Overcast, and it ticks all the boxes for the kind of platform I’m after. Overcast for iPhoneFoundry Spend a little time with it, and it becomes obvious that this is an app made by someone who cares about podcasts. There’s a huge array of clever little touches and adjustable features that can make the app your own: you can change how far the back and forward buttons skip, for example, or enable the Smart Speed feature to cut down on silent moments without impacting sound quality. It’s all wrapped up in a clean, intuitive interface that’s easy on the eye (in both light and dark modes) and features many changeable options and elements. That makes it enjoyable to use and simple for anyone to pick up. Travel: Hopper There’s nothing quite like booking a vacation abroad to give you something to look forward to, but actually making it happen can be an exercise in frustration. That’s why I started using Hopper, and it’s helped make the process a whole lot smoother. Hopper can do a lot of things: offer up deals on hotels, for example, or give you a place to find a rental car. That’s all well and good, but it truly comes into its own when it comes to booking a flight. This is the app’s feature that I used the most. Hopper for iPhoneFoundry Search for a flight and Hopper presents a color-coded calendar showing the best (that is, cheapest) days on which to book a flight. This is often the difference between getting a bargain and spending a few hundred more dollars than you need to. Hopper combines this with price predictions, so if now’s not the right time to pull the trigger, it’ll let you know. If you’re not quite ready to book, you can also pay a little to freeze the price and protect against it rising–I never needed that feature, but it’s nice to know it’s there. Now, I never check flight prices without going through Hopper first. It’s a handy weapon in your arsenal if you love traveling and hate overpaying. Sports organization: Spond I’m a soccer fanatic: I love watching it, but most of all I love playing it. But trying to get everyone organized before practice or a game sucks when you’re trying to do it over Messages or email. Instead, I ditched those methods and switched to the Spond app this year, and it’s made a world of difference. This app is all about helping people manage sports groups and ensuring everyone shows up week after week. Club members can say whether they’ll be playing each match and pay their subs through their phone, while organizers can set the location and remind people to respond if they haven’t already. There’s handy contextual information, too, like directions to the pitch and a weather forecast for kick-off time. Spond for iPhoneFoundry Now, I don’t worry about haphazard communication and chaotic game days. Instead, I just handle everything in one place on my iPhone. I can’t say it’s made me play any better, but I’m working on that.12:02 pmLooking for Chilean & Mexican Spanish feedback on iOS app localization

As with most discussions with CEOs in literally any industry in the Year of Our Lord 2025, most of it revolves around AI. Eventually, however, they get around to the question the Macalope wanted answered, which is what, exactly, is your problem? Specifically with CarPlay, which Rivian, like several other auto manufacturers, does not allow to sully its beautiful automobiles. It is a good question, we get asked that a lot. Oh, really? You don’t say. Probably because CarPlay is so freaking popular. Not to hear Rivian talk about, though. In Rivian’s eyes, everyone’s crying out for that hot Rivian UI. We’re very convicted on this point. Interesting word choice because there’s “convinced” which means sure about it, there’s “conflicted” which means not sure about it, and then there’s “convicted” which means guilty. Paging Dr. Freud. Dr. Freud, meet your party in women’s lingerie. Because that’s where the slips are, you see. Yeah, you got it. Our view is a lot of the applications will start to go away and you’ll have your AI assistant. [Screech of tires, sound of a guardrail being broken, sound of car exploding over Take The Wheel AI Jesus Gulch] …when you say, “Rivian, tell me what’s on my schedule for later today”, you don’t care that it has to go agent to agent to Google Calendar to pull that out, you just want the information… And while you already trust Apple with that information, you definitely want to expand that circle of sharing to include… [checks notes]… your car manufacturer. [Picks up sheet of paper again] Seriously? Is that what it says? So as we’ve thought about this, inserting any sort of abstraction layer or aggregation layer that’s not our own just is extremely risky… As opposed to just using the aggregation layer that the driver is used to in literally every other moment of their lives. The fundamental problem with the argument from these auto manufacturers is they imagine you are in your car all day, every day. You have a house, but why go in it? It’s full of screaming children! Your children! And they make the car so nice! Why would you want to be anyplace but this wonderful car?! …our goal is to make it such that… …if they were to go back to CarPlay, they’d miss having the integrated holistic experience that we can create. Sure, sure, they use an iPhone all day long, they’ve used one for 18 years, but that 15 minutes in the car when they went to the Piggly Wiggly was so magical, they want that experience so much they’ll sit in the garage with the motor running. Good thing it’s electric! 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.Foundry This would seem delusional except for the fact that these auto manufacturers don’t really believe this themselves. These are just fantastical arguments they offer in order to sell their idea, which is really just about getting more user data in order to make more money. Once again, a car manufacturer is here to tell us they’re just doing what Apple does! [Apple] would never have a screen in a screen on their own devices. [Note to self: Photoshop that awkward monkey look meme with a picture of iPhone Mirroring and insert it here, it’ll be hilarious.] It’s like you have two different UIs playing out and I just think it’s poor UI, it’s a poor user experience. Yes, but no. First of all, this happens all the time. Anyone who owns a television knows the pleasure of navigating the TV operating system UI and any number of different UIs from streaming services. Second of all, instead of providing a window to a user experience the driver is used to all day long, you’re forcing them to use one they are less familiar with for the relatively smaller portion of the day they’re in the car. So we brought Google Maps in, which was a big one… Recall that the big reason Apple Maps even exists is because Google wanted more user data than Apple was comfortable giving them. Scaringe claims that once they get a Rivian, customers forget all about CarPlay because Rivian’s experience is so good. Either that or they just get CarPlay head units. We will never agree on this issue, but the main reason we will never agree on it is that the Macalope wants a particular user experience, and Rivian and other car manufacturers who eschew CarPlay want user data so they can sell it.

Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Price When Reviewed$66.99 Best Prices Today: Aukey Qi2.2 MagFusion 2X 2-in-1 Wireless Charging Station Retailer Price Aukey $66.99 View Deal Check Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket One of the hits of the 2025 IFA technology tradeshow in Berlin was Aukey’s range of 25W MagFusion chargers for iPhone and Apple’s other devices. The first 25W MagFusion product to hit the shelves is the MagFusion 2X Wireless Charging Station 2-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charger (or LC-MC213 if you want to be formal). This stands apart from most 2-in-1 wireless chargers, not just because of the 25W charging speed, but also because it can charge two iPhones at that speed. Aukey MagFusion 2X: Double the power Most 2-in-1 wireless chargers can power up an iPhone and a pair of AirPods or maybe an Apple Watch. Those standard 2-in-1 chargers usually employ a 5W or 7.5W area for the AirPods or Apple Watch, which don’t require a great deal of power to charge. The Aukey MagFusion 2X, on the other hand, boasts two Qi 2.2-supporting 25W charging pads: one on a 6-inch (15.2cm) arm and the other flat on the stand’s base. Simon Jary Of course, you can certainly use it to charge an iPhone and an AirPods case, just as with other 2-in-1 chargers, but the ability to fast-charge two iPhones is the real selling point. Even if you don’t have two iPhones, surely someone in your house or office needs to charge their phone at the same time as you. Either way, the Aukey MagFusion 2X is unique in its ability to simultaneously wirelessly service two iPhones at such a speed. Simon Jary Aukey MagFusion 2X: Performance A Qi2.2-certified 25W charger should wirelessly power up an iPhone from 0 to 50 percent in just over 30 minutes, where a 15W charger will take more like 45 minutes to do the same. To get the iPhone to 100 percent takes more than twice that time, as iPhones (and any other device) will charge more slowly as they get nearer to full capacity, which is why we compare chargers at their speed to 50% percent rather than 100 percent. That said, a 25W charger should beat a 15W charger by about 25 minutes from 0-100%. Note that only the iPhone 16 and 17 series support 25W wireless charging, with the iPhone Air limited to 20W due to the size of its battery. Older iPhones will charge at Qi2’s standard 15W. Check out which wireless charging speed your iPhone supports. In our tests, the Aukey MagFusion 2X took 31 minutes to get an iPhone 16 Pro from 0 to 50 percent. Older 15W Qi2 versions of the Aukey MagFusion range an active cooling system (called Omnia-Frez Cooling Technology) to ensure efficient and safe charging. The 15W MagFusion 2X doesn’t feature such a fan or cooling fins despite the higher power. That might result in lower charging times in some situations, but we didn’t experience any slowdowns in our real-world tests. The Aukey MagFusion 2X doesn’t ship with a wall charger, and the company recommends you use one with an output power of 67W or higher. If you can’t use your MacBook’s charger or need a spare, check out our reviews of the best USB-C chargers for options. Simon Jary Aukey MagFusion 2X: Design The Aukey MagFusion 2X looks suitably futuristic in gunmetal gray. Its raised charging pad is adjustable, with a 30-degree vertical rotation. Of course, the iPhone can be placed in either a portrait (vertical) or landscape (horizontal) orientation. At 6 x 5.3 x 2.4 inches (15.2 x 13.5 x 6cm), it’s a small desk footprint, and it’s pretty light too at 11.2oz (318g). The arm feels robust and stable, and the magnetic connection to both charging pads is strong. The charging port attaches to your wall charger via the supplied 6ft USB-C cable, neatly positioned at the back of the base. Simon Jary Aukey MagFusion 2X: Price The Aukey MagFusion 2X is available only in the U.S. and E.U. at the time of writing, with a price of $67 or €70. While this is a more than reasonable price tag, just keep in mind that you need to provide your own USB-C wall charger (67W or higher for maximum charging speeds) if you don’t own a spare already. Check out alternative options in our reviews of the best magnetic wireless chargers. Should you buy the Aukey MagFusion 2X?

Flight tracker apps are a popular way to keep tabs on planes in the sky, because when you're preparing to fly or when someone you know is on board a flight, you can use them to check that things are still on schedule. But if you have an iPhone, you don't need to download and install a third-party app to track a flight – it's a handy built-in feature of the operating system. The ability to track flights in iOS is thanks to the data detectors that Apple has integrated into the system for quite a few years now. Data detectors recognize things like times, dates and addresses, and in the right context, turns these into tappable links. Here's how it works. Track Flights in Messages If someone sends you a flight number (U2502, say) in Messages, you can press and hold the underlined number to get a real-time view of the flight's progress plotted on a map. You also get the option to learn more by tapping Preview Flight, which will give you information like departure and arrival times, delays, and for some airports, baggage claim details. You'll find links to the airline website and Apple Maps at the bottom of the information card. To increase the chances that iOS detects the flight number, it's best to include the full airline name along with the number (EasyJet U2502, for example). Track Flights in Spotlight Search On iPhone and iPad, you can also track flights in Search. Swipe down from the middle of the Home screen and simply input the flight number into the search field to get departure and arrival information. Tap the information card to get the additional details mentioned above. Tracking Flights on a Mac Apple has included the same data detectors into macOS, meaning you can track flights on your Mac, too. Simply invoke Spotlight with the Command-Spacebar key combination and type the flight number into the input field. Select the flight data in the results, and you'll see the same information card that appears in iOS, complete with the flight's live trajectory shown on a map and other details.This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums09:56 amBackbone Pro review: A premium gamepad at a very premium price
Macworld At a glanceExpert's Rating Pros Comfortable to use Robust and accurate controls Works with and without a phone case Cons No rumble ALPS rather than Hall-effect joysticks High price Our Verdict The lack of vibration and Hall-effect joysticks may be off-putting, and that price tag is no joke. But I love the attractive design, comfortable and reliable controls, and easy-switching, device-agnostic versatility. This gets my recommendation. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Price When Reviewed$169.99 Best Prices Today: Backbone Pro Retailer Price Backbone $169.99 View Deal Check Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket As a gaming device, the iPhone has much to recommend it: it’s highly portable, you’re probably carrying one anyway, and you’ve got a million compatible games to choose from. The main problem is that many of the best iOS games (such as Fortnite, which finally returned to iOS this year) were designed with other platforms in mind, and don’t suit touchscreen controls. That’s when you need to buy yourself a gamepad. As iPhone gamepads go, the Backbone Pro sits right at the top end. It costs a whopping $169.99/£159.99, more than three times what you’d pay for an official Xbox controller (which iPhones are compatible with), so it needs to perform miracles to justify that price. Does it? Well, let’s find out. Design and workmanship The Backbone Pro looks like a gamepad or gaming handheld with the middle part missing. There’s a reason for that: the gap is designed to accommodate an iPhone, although this isn’t compulsory. More on this in the next section. There are lots of hardware controls. On the left side you get an ALPS thumb joystick, a D-pad, and two option buttons; on the right there are X/Y/A/B buttons (in the traditional Xbox configuration rather than the heretical Switch style), another thumb joystick, another option button, and a dedicated button for the Backbone app. Then there are four shoulder buttons–L1 and L2, and R1 and R2–and even two lower rear M1 and M2 buttons which sit under your ring fingers. There are also two ports on the bottom, a female USB-C for charging and a 3.5mm headphone jack, together with a final button for wireless pairing. The Backbone Pro feels great in the hand.David Price / Foundry Aside from being astonishingly numerous, these controls are robust, accurate in use, and mostly very comfortable. (The one exception is that I wouldn’t want to use the M1 and M2 buttons very much, because the ring fingers are naturally weaker than the rest, and with my hand size it wasn’t possible to use middle fingers while still being able to reach L1 and R1. But for occasional functions, they’re fine.) Serious gamers will quibble about some choices, such as the joysticks being ALPS rather than Hall effect, which is more precise and has a longer lifespan. The lack of rumble/vibration may also cause some raised eyebrows at this price point. But using the Backbone Pro is a delight, and thanks to the ergonomic design, weight in the hand, and pleasingly textured finish, it feels like the premium gaming accessory it is. What’s the Backbone Pro like to use? Setting up the Backbone Pro is relatively easy. Tuck the top edge of your phone into the slot on the left, push the gamepad’s two halves apart, then attach your iPhone to the male USB-C connector on the right. (This is the method illustrated in the marketing video, and I find it much easier than opening the halves before fitting the phone into the slot, which was my misguided first instinct.) Your iPhone is thus held securely in landscape orientation, and you can use the D pad, thumb controllers, and X/Y/A/B buttons to play games on a super-sharp display without having to waste screen space on sub-optimal touch controls. I tested the Backbone Pro with an iPhone 17, and this fit just fine with or without a standard silicone MagSafe case. That’s an important consideration, because having to uncase your iPhone and then recase it after adds an element of friction that will put you off using the product. It’s also compatible with the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max, the iPhone Air, all five 16-series iPhones, and all four 15-series iPhones. Note that you can also use the device as a standalone controller by connecting wirelessly to an iPhone, iPad, Mac, smart TV, VR headset, or other device (even a PC!). This adds the complications of Bluetooth–you may notice some slight lag on very speed-intensive games, although I didn’t–and of course you will need to keep track separately of the Backbone’s battery as well as that of whatever device you’re playing on. The simplicity of plugging a single USB-C cable into the Backbone’s port and charging both the gamepad and its docked phone can be a pleasing convenience for the forgetful. The Backbone Pro works with an iPad just as happily as an iPhone.David Price / Foundry There is, however, one minor point in favor of playing wirelessly: the first few times you use the gamepad in docked mode, you may find it fiddly navigating to your desired game. iOS home screens don’t have a landscape orientation, so you end up awkwardly holding the docked phone at 90 degrees until you’ve found the app and launched it, before returning to a normal position in the game. The slot covers on either side also block access to the short edges of your phone’s screen, which makes it difficult to access the home indicator when you’re in a portrait-orientation app–which you shouldn’t be, but this may still catch you out if you dock your phone before thinking to close down the previous app. But these are just teething pains. You’ll quickly realise that the best approach is to open your game of choice, then put the phone in the gamepad. Testing out the app There’s another option which you may find easier still, and that’s to use the Backbone app. This can be accessed at any time by pressing the bright orange button assigned to that purpose. The makers would clearly like you to treat the Backbone app as your central gaming hub, and it serves moderately well in that role. The “Your games” library is a convenient way to jump straight to your favorite titles without having to navigate your phone. Sensibly, this list is compiled manually rather than simply auto-populating with all the compatible titles on your device, and while the in-app search function isn’t always intuitive (insisting I need to download games that are already on the device, for example, or serving ads encouraging me to sign up for the Apple Arcade service I already get through Apple One) you can simply press the orange button while in a game to add it to the library. The Backbone app is a useful starting point for your gaming sessions.David Price / Foundry The app also contains a rather endearing selection of “Instant games,” quick and cheap retro browser games that are good for a laugh. It’s a shame that, here again, the interface proves less than helpful; the app initially offered a selection I could add to my library, but once I’d done so, that option was no longer easy to find. (Eventually, I found the remaining games by going to the main search and selecting Edit filters > HTML5 Games.) But the most useful functions of the Backbone app are more utilitarian. Under Settings, you’ll find recording modes (together with Twitch integration), and the ability to create controller profiles with assigned buttons. And under Controller Center, you can pair with, manage, or forget known devices. This is important because the gamepad will, by default, try to connect with the most recently connected device. But to be honest, my experience of device switching was very impressive; almost Apple-esque in its ability to second-guess what I wanted it to do without needing to be prompted. Thanks to a clever feature called FlowState, you don’t need to keep re-pairing each time you want to switch devices, and that’s a big plus point. Should you buy the Backbone Pro? There are certainly issues with this product. If you’re a serious gamer, the lack of vibration and Hall-effect joysticks may be off-putting; if you’re not, there’s that $169.99/£159.99 price tag. So the head says no, but the heart says yes. I love the attractive design, comfortable and reliable controls, and easy-switching, device-agnostic versatility. Against my better judgment, and with several caveats, this extremely premium gamepad gets my recommendation.09:44 amiOS 26.3 will give third-party earbuds a taste of Apple’s pairing magic

The European Commission today praised the interoperability changes that Apple is introducing in iOS 26.3, once again crediting the Digital Markets Act (DMA) with bringing "new opportunities" to European users and developers. The Digital Markets Act requires Apple to provide third-party accessories with the same capabilities and access to device features that Apple's own products get. In iOS 26.3, EU wearable device makers can now test proximity pairing and improved notifications. Here are the new capabilities that Apple is adding: Proximity pairing - Devices like earbuds will be able to pair with an iOS device in an AirPods-like way by bringing the accessory close to an iPhone or iPad to initiate a simple, one-tap pairing process. Pairing third-party devices will no longer require multiple steps. Notifications - Third-party accessories like smart watches will be able to receive notifications from the iPhone. Users will be able to view and react to incoming notifications, which is functionality normally limited to the Apple Watch. Notifications can only be forwarded to one connected device at a time, and turning on notifications for a third-party device disables notifications to an Apple Watch. The European Commission says that developers can test third-party TVs, smart watches, and headphones with the new features in iOS 26.3, with the functionality to be "fully available in Europe" in 2026. iOS 26.3 offers "another step towards a more inter-connected digital ecosystem to the benefit of all EU citizens," according to the European Commission. iOS 26.3 is expected to launch at the end of January.
