Macworld It’s already shaping up to be a huge year for Apple, with a wave of new products launching in the first six months of 2026 – including the MacBook Neo and iPhone 17e. And the momentum isn’t slowing. With Apple’s WWDC keynote scheduled for June 8, attention is turning to the company’s product pipeline. Rumors point to dozens of devices in development, ranging from refreshed iPhones, iPads, and Macs to smart home hardware and the long-awaited foldable iPhone. In this article, we explore the products Apple is expected to release next. Drawing on the latest rumors and industry trends, we break down what could be coming – and why it matters. What to expect from Apple in 2026 Biggest launches: iPhone Fold, iPhone 18 Pro redesign Most meaningful upgrades: Under-display Face ID, OLED iPad mini Big leadership shift: It has been confirmed that John Ternus will replace Tim Cook as CEO in September 2026 Apple’s roadmap for 2026: At a glance In the fall of 2026, Apple’s roadmap will come under the direction of incoming CEO John Ternus. Current CEO Tim Cook will remain as executive chairman, but the shift from an operations-focused leader to one with deep hardware engineering roots could signal a more product-driven approach – and a renewed emphasis on standout hardware. Ternus will take over as CEO just as Apple is reportedly preparing a major Siri overhaul, alongside potential launches including its first touchscreen MacBook and the iPhone 18 Pro.

On an earnings call in late April, Apple's CEO Tim Cook said that customer response to the MacBook Neo was "off the charts," and the popularity of the laptop has reportedly led the company to significantly boost production. Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo this week said he believes that MacBook Neo shipments to Apple were doubled from an initial target of 5 million units to 10 million units in 2026 at some point after the laptop launched in March. Apple was very optimistic about the MacBook Neo before announcing it, but the company still "undercalled" the level of enthusiasm that the laptop would generate, according to Cook. He said that MacBook Neo demand exceeded Apple's expectations and helped to drive a record number of first-time Mac buyers last quarter. New figures from market research firm IDC support Apple's claim that the MacBook Neo is selling well, and the Windows PC industry has taken notice. For example, Dell recently introduced a redesigned XPS 13 laptop from $699 and said it has features "you won't find on a MacBook Neo," such as a touch screen and a backlit keyboard. "Apple's MacBook Neo is a capable machine, and its arrival confirms that there's real appetite for premium quality at accessible prices," admitted Dell. With a starting price of $599 in the U.S., or $499 for college students, the MacBook Neo is Apple's most affordable MacBook ever. Powered by the iPhone's A18 Pro chip, the laptop is available in colorful finishes like Citrus and Blush.Related Roundup: MacBook NeoTag: Ming-Chi KuoBuyer's Guide: MacBook Neo (Buy Now)Related Forum: MacBook NeoThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums04:02 pmCardioBot integrates one of my favorite Apple Health metrics for deeper heart insight

Macworld When people think about Accessibility features on the iPhone, they usually imagine tools designed for a relatively small group of users with specific needs. But every now and then, Apple introduces something that has the potential to change the way everyone interacts with their devices. That’s exactly what happened last week. As part of its annual Accessibility preview ahead of WWDC, Apple announced a new version of Voice Control powered by Apple Intelligence. In theory, it sounds like a simple upgrade designed to help users control their iPhone using natural voice commands. But reading between the lines, it feels like Apple just teased one of the biggest features of iOS 27 before the keynote in June. And honestly, this might be one of the most exciting Apple Intelligence features yet. Apple is finally bringing natural voice commands to iOS Voice control on the iPhone isn’t new, and I’m not even talking about Siri. iOS already has an Accessibility feature that lets users perform specific tasks using only their voice. However, this feature has always seemed somewhat robotic and only works with very specific commands and phrases. But what Apple teased is completely different. Instead of relying on strict command structures, Apple says users will be able to interact with their iPhone more conversationally using Apple Intelligence. You’ll soon be able to interact with things like folders on your iPhone just by asking.Apple Instead of having to memorize labels and commands, users will simply be able to say what they actually want to do, and Voice Control will understand. In the example shown by Apple, the user says, “Tap the orange folder,” and then asks the iPhone to open a file on the screen and zoom in on a specific section of the document. Essentially, Apple is using Apple Intelligence models to understand what’s on the screen in real time and control everything based on voice commands. “This can also help users overcome barriers when elements aren’t properly labeled for accessibility,” the company said in a press release. Without a doubt, this feature represents a major breakthrough for users with disabilities. But it also hints at something much bigger. This looks a lot like the rumored new Siri Back in 2024, when Apple unveiled the features of Apple Intelligence, the company teased a brand-new Siri that would have agentic capabilities. The assistant would be able to control certain aspects of the phone using natural voice commands. Among the examples Apple showcased back then were commands such as adding an address from a conversation in the Messages app to a contact card or sending the link to the webpage you’re viewing in Safari to someone. It’s no secret that this feature has yet to see the light of day. But for over a year, reports have suggested that Apple has been working on an upgraded Siri experience for iOS 27. The rumored assistant is expected to understand on-screen context, control apps, and perform actions across the operating system more intelligently. In other words: less “set a timer” and more “open this file and send it to John.” The accessibility feature Apple teased this week sounds a lot like that, and that’s probably no coincidence. Apple has a long history of using accessibility features as a testing ground for broader interface changes. Features originally designed for accessibility often end up becoming mainstream features. AssistiveTouch, Live Captions, and even mouse support have eventually expanded beyond their original purpose. This new Voice Control enhancement feels like the clearest sign yet that Apple’s next-generation Siri architecture is almost ready. Apple’s upcoming Voice Control features seems similar to Samsung’s Voice Access.Foundry Universal control There’s another reason I’m excited about this feature besides seeing a new version of Siri. More specifically, I’ve already had experience with a very similar feature on another device. The new version of Voice Control announced by Apple reminded me of something I tested earlier this year on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Samsung’s Voice Access feature was recently updated with AI models designed to understand natural language, and it’s genuinely impressive. You can navigate through apps, open menus, scroll through pages, tap specific UI elements, and perform fairly complex tasks entirely with your voice. It’s one of those features that makes you realize how outdated traditional voice assistants suddenly feel. It’s not something I use all the time, but it’s pretty handy when my hands are full, and I need to do something on my phone, like open a chat and send someone a voice message. After using it for a while, going back to Siri felt more constricted than ever. Apple Intelligence and Siri are expected to be the focus of the upcoming iOS 27 update.Apple The potential of Apple Intelligence One of the main criticisms of Apple Intelligence so far is how limited it feels. Notification Summaries can be useful, Writing Tools are occasionally convenient, and Genmoji is fun for a few minutes. But none of them really change the way you use your iPhone. Having an AI assistant that can understand exactly what you need, even when you don’t use specific commands, is a game-changer. It’s the kind of feature that has the potential to make our lives much easier. Most people probably won’t spend the whole day talking to their phone, but it’s nice to know the feature is there for when you need a little help opening or finding something. Unsurprisingly, Apple isn’t making a big deal out of it, probably because it’s saving the best for next month’s WWDC keynote. But I’m already excited to finally see the first signs of a truly AI-powered Siri. @macworld.com Did Apple just reveal Agentic Siri AI? #apple #siri #ai ♬ original sound – Macworld – Macworld03:32 pm📸 I built an iPhone photography app for photographers, and just added a browser-based desktop workspace.

During WWDC 2025, Apple revealed that macOS 26 Tahoe would be the final major macOS version for Intel-based Macs. macOS 27 will be compatible with Apple silicon Macs only, meaning that you will need a Mac with an M-series chip or a MacBook Neo with an A18 Pro chip in order to install the software update. Apple will unveil macOS 27 during its WWDC 2026 keynote this Monday, June 8, and the update should be widely released in September. Intel-based Macs that can run macOS Tahoe but will not be compatible with macOS 27:13-inch MacBook Pro (2020, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports) 16-inch MacBook Pro (2019) 27-inch iMac (2020) Mac Pro (2019)Apple said Intel-based Macs will continue to receive security updates for three years. macOS 27's exact compatibility with Apple silicon Macs remains to be seen, but presumably the update will support all Macs with an M1 chip or newer. macOS 27 will still be able to run Intel apps, as it will be the final major macOS release to include Apple's full Rosetta translation layer. "Rosetta was designed to make the transition to Apple silicon easier, and we plan to make it available for the next two major macOS releases – through macOS 27 – as a general-purpose tool for Intel apps to help developers complete the migration of their apps," said Apple. "Beyond this timeframe, we will keep a subset of Rosetta functionality aimed at supporting older unmaintained gaming titles, that rely on Intel-based frameworks."Related Roundup: macOS 27This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums03:26 pmNvidia finally gives Apple silicon a real competitor

(via Cult of Mac - Your source for the latest Apple news, rumors, analysis, reviews, how-tos and deals.)03:18 pmIs your iPhone too old? This is how long Apple really supports iPhones for
Macworld If you are thinking of buying an older generation or used/refurbished iPhone, or wondering whether it’s worth upgrading your current iPhone to a new one, one important factor to consider is how long Apple will continue to offer support for that handset. The good news is that Apple supports iPhones for a long time. In general, you can get seven to eight years of security-related software updates, while battery and other repairs are often available on five to seven-year-old handsets, according to Apple’s own Vintage and Obsolete categorizations. More on that below. Read on to find out which iPhones are supported with the latest operating systems, and which are supported for servicing and repairs. Macworld’s advice: The iPhone XS and XR and any older iPhone should be avoided as they can’t run the 2025 iOS update: iOS 26. Update: iOS 15 and iOS 16 received updates to address security vulnerabilities in May 2026. iOS 18 also received a critical security update in May 2026. How long does Apple support iPhones with iOS updates? Seven years: Apple supports some iPhones that can’t run the latest version of iOS with security updates. Currently there is such support for iPhones from 2018. A January 2026 update relating to FaceTime and Messages on iOS 12, 15, 16 and 18 included the twelve year old iPhone 5S. Apple generally provides major iOS updates for iPhones for approximately five to six years, though security-related support often extends even longer. While Apple does not officially guarantee a specific duration, its historical track record shows a consistent commitment to long-term device viability, with up to eight years of cover in the past. It is important to distinguish between major iOS version updates (which bring new features and interface changes) and security-only updates, though. Major iOS Updates: You can expect an iPhone to be compatible with the latest version iOS typically for around 5–7 years. The iPhone 11, released in late 2019, can run iOS 26, although not every feature will run on older iPhones. Security Updates: That doesn’t mean older iPhones are not supported by Apple. The company continues to provide critical security patches for older versions of iOS for several years after they stop receiving new features. This can extend the total “safe” lifespan of a device to nearly a decade. The iPhone XR and XS, launched in 2018, did not receive the 2025 update, iOS 26, but Apple has issued security updates for those phones via iOS 18. And that support extends even further back: in May 2026 Apple issued security updates for iPhones only able to run iOS 15 and iOS 16. Device specific security updates: A key change is that iOS 18 security updates are only available iPhones unable to run iOS 26. This means that those running iOS 18 on a phone compatible with iOS 26 need to update to iOS 26 in order to get the security updates for their iPhone. Previously the security update to an older version of iOS ran on any device running that version of the software. Certificate coverage: In January 2026 Apple issued updates to iOS 12, 15, 16 and 18 that extended the certificate required by features such as iMessage, FaceTime, and device activation to continue working after January 2027. Those updates include the 2013’s iPhone 5S, and 2014’s iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. However, just a few days later Apple withdrew these updates after network issues that meant some older iPhones couldn’t make emergency calls. It is unlikely that Apple will issue an iOS 17 specific update because all iOS 17-compatible iPhones can run iOS 18, so Apple would encourage anyone running iOS 17 to update to iOS 18 to get the security update. The last update to iOS 17 was 17.7.2 in November 2024. You should be very cautious if using an iPhone that won’t receive these security fixes for what could be dangerous vulnerabilities. Since we can only guarantee that iOS 18 support will continue we would recommend that you should replace your iPhone if it can’t run iOS 18, which includes the iPhones X, 8 and 8 Plus and iPhones 7, 6S, 6S Plus and the 1st gen SE. Which iPhones can run the latest iOS? Britta O’Boyle The 2019 iPhone 11 is the oldest iPhone able to run iOS 26. iOS 26 is available as a free software update for all iPhone models released from 2019 onwards. This includes the following devices: iPhone 17 Series, including iPhone Air and 17e (2025) iPhone 16 Series, including iPhone 16e (2024) iPhone 15 Series (2023) iPhone 14 Series (2022) iPhone SE (3rd gen, 2022) iPhone 13 Series (2021) iPhone 12 Series (2020) iPhone SE iPhone SE (2nd gen, 2020) iPhone 11 Series (2019) When iOS 27 launches later in 2026 it is claimed, via leaked support information, that only the iPhone 12 and newer will support it. Which iPhones run each version of iOS? The chart below shows each version of iOS and the iPhones it ran on. As you can see, in recent years support for new iOS versions has stretched back for around six years, while, if you include the versions that Apple supports with security updates, the cover goes back a further year. iOS support chart by model Find your iPhone here and check which versions of iOS it can run.Foundry What is the oldest iPhone still supported by Apple? iPhone XS and iPhone XR – supported by iOS 18 security updates iPhone X, iPhone 8, iPhone 7, iPhone SE (1st generation), and iPhone 6s – supported by iOS 16 and iOS 15 security updates As of May 2026, Apple is still supporting the 2015 iPhone 6s with security updates via iOS 15, while the 2019 iPhone 11 is able to run the latest version of iOS – iOS 26. However, support for these older devices is unlikely to continue for much longer. It is unclear how much longer Apple will continue to provide security updates for iOS 15 and iOS 16 – and, by extension, the iPhones that run those versions. The arrival of iOS 27 in fall 2026 may spell the end of support for iOS 15 and 16. A good indication that Apple will end support is the fact that Apple has already classified the iPhone SE (1st generation) as obsolete. Meanwhile, the iPhone 6s, iPhone 7, iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, iPhone X, iPhone XS and XS Max, and iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max are all on Apple’s vintage products list. Avoid these iPhones The iPhone 5S. Remember? It’s been a while.IDG We don’t recommend using the following iPhone models because they no longer receive critical security updates, or are likely to stop receiving such updates soon. Using one of these iPhones could therefore put your security at risk: iPhone XR (2018) iPhone XS/XS Max (2018) iPhone X (2017) iPhone 8/8 Plus (2017) iPhone 7/7 Plus (2016) iPhone SE (2016) iPhone 6s/6s Plus (2014) iPhone 6/6 Plus (2014) iPhone 5s (2013) iPhone 5c (2013) iPhone 5 (2012) iPhone 4s (2011) iPhone 4 (2010) iPhone 3GS (2009) iPhone 3G (2008) iPhone (2007) For more information, see our list of every version of iOS. When will Apple stop supporting each iPhone? Truth is we don’t know for sure, but on the basis that Apple supports phones for five to seven years after they are removed from sale: iPhone XS (2018-2019) – Approx 2026 iPhone XR (2018-2021) – Approx 2026-2028 iPhone 11 (2019-2022) – Approx 2027-2029 iPhone SE2 (2020-2022) – Approx 2027-2029 iPhone 12 (2020-2023) – Approx 2028-2030 iPhone 13 (2021) – Approx 2032 iPhone SE3 (2022) – Approx 2033 iPhone 14 (2022) – Approx 2034 iPhone 15 (2023) – Approx 2035 iPhone 16 (2024) – Approx 2036 iPhone 17 (2025) – Approx 2037 Apple Intelligence: With the arrival of Apple Intelligence AI features and their hardware requirements, the older iPhones are likely to become obsolete faster. When does Apple stop repairing old iPhones? Foundry When it comes to repairs, Apple supports iPhones (and all devices it makes) for seven years from the last time it sold that particular model. So as long as your iPhone was still being sold by Apple up to seven years ago, the company or a third-party service provider will still service it. Apple distinguishes between iPhones (and other devices) that are obsolete and vintage. Vintage Apple Products: These are products that Apple stopped selling between five and seven years ago. They are considered old, but there may be limited access to repairs depending on whether Apple has the parts available. Obsolete Apple Products: These are products that Apple stopped selling between more than seven years ago. They are considered end-of-life and will no longer be repaired by Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. Obsolete iPhones The following iPhones are now considered Obsolete, which means sales were discontinued more than seven years ago and Apple has now discontinued all hardware servicing. iPhone iPhone 3G iPhone 3GS iPhone 4 (all models now obsolete from 2026) iPhone 4s iPhone 5 (discontinued September 2013, obsolete in 2026) iPhone 5c (discontinued September 2013, obsolete in 2021) iPhone 5S (discontinued in 2016, vintage in 2021, obsolete in 2024) iPhone 6 (discontinued in 2016, vintage in 2021, obsolete in 2025) iPhone 6 Plus (discontinued in 2016, vintage in 2021, obsolete in 2024) iPhone 6s (32GB) (discontinued in 2018, obsolete in 2024) iPhone 6s Plus (32GB) (discontinued in 2018, obsolete in 2024) iPhone 8 and 8 Plus (PRODUCT) Red (discontinued in 2018, obsolete in 2026) iPhone SE, 2016 (discontinued in 2018, vintage in 2023, obsolete 2025) Vintage iPhones And the iPhones below are listed as Vintage, which means they have not been sold for more than five years (but less than seven years). Apple will still service these products as long as it has the required parts. So you could say that the oldest iPhone still supported by Apple is now the ten-year-old iPhone 6s, but we don’t expect that Apple will have the required parts. Prior to March 2026, Apple still listed the iPhone 5 and one 8GB model of the iPhone 4 as vintage, more than 12 years on from when they were first sold. iPhone 6s (16GB, 64GB, 128GB) (discontinued in 2016, vintage in 2022) iPhone 6s Plus (discontinued in 2018, vintage in 2022) iPhone 7 (discontinued in 2019, vintage in May 2025) iPhone 7 Plus (discontinued in 2019, vintage in May 2025) iPhone 7 (PRODUCT) Red (discontinued in 2017, March 2022) iPhone 8 (discontinued in 2020, vintage in 2024) iPhone 8 Plus (discontinued in 2020, vintage in 2024) iPhone X (discontinued in 2018, vintage in 2024) iPhone XS (discontinued in 2018, vintage in 2024 iPhone XS Max (discontinued in 2019, vintage in June 2025) iPhone 11 Pro & Pro Max (discontinued in 2020, vintage in September 2025) All iPhones that followed those handsets, so iPhone 12 onwards, should be fully supported by Apple – for now.

Macworld Next week’s WWDC get-together will focus on Apple’s relationship with the app developer community. It’s apt, therefore, that the company has just announced the winners of its yearly app design awards. As revealed in a press release on its Newsroom site, Apple has divided the awards into the same six categories as last year, and singled out one app and one game for recognition in each. It also lists four further finalists for each category, for a theoretical total of 36 noteworthy apps and games. (In fact, some apps appear in more than one category so the total is a little lower.) The award-winning apps and games can be for any one, or several, of Apple’s software platforms. You’ll notice lots of iPhone screenshots on the press release, but the company also recognises software for the iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and even Vision Pro. In fact, a couple of the winners are only available on the Mac and one, Primary: News in Depth, is strictly for Vision Pro. So, if you’re struggling to sift the wheat from the chaff on Apple’s bloated app stores, you could do a lot worse than check out the following offerings: Delight and Fun Winners: grug (app) and Is This Seat Taken? (game) Finalists: Blippo+, Metaballs, BALL x PIT, and PowerWash Simulator Inclusivity Winners: Guitar Wiz (app) and Pine Hearts (game) Finalists: Hearing Buddy, Structured, Sago Mini Jinja’s Garden, and Sid Meier’s Civilization VII Innovation Winners: NBA: Live Games & Scores (app) and Blue Prince (game) Finalists: D-Day: The Camera Soldier, Detail: AI Video Editor, Pickle Pro, and TR-49 Interaction Winners: Moonlitt: Moon Phase Tracker (app) and Sago Mini Jinja’s Garden (game) Finalists: The Outsiders: Athlete Tracker, Tide Guide: Charts & Tables, Grand Mountain Adventure 2, and TR-49 Social Impact Winners: Primary: News in Depth (app) and Consume Me (game) Finalists: Katha Room, Harvee, despelote, and Spilled!

The global memory shortage that has already squeezed Mac mini and Mac Studio supply is now set to weigh heavily on the broader PC market, with IDC forecasting an 11.3% decline in global shipments for 2026. According to IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Personal Computing Device Tracker, conditions are expected to worsen progressively through the fourth quarter, when shipments are forecast to fall 20% year-over-year, with no meaningful relief expected before the end of 2027. Average selling prices are rising and PC manufacturers are struggling to maintain full product portfolios. The first quarter of 2026 offered a deceptively encouraging signal, with shipments growing 3% versus the same period last year, but that strength was largely artificial; both consumer and commercial buyers pulled purchases forward ahead of anticipated price increases and availability constraints. Some of that first quarter momentum is carrying into the second quarter, but the remaining quarters are expected to deteriorate. IDC forecasts average selling price growth of 17% in 2026, and even as memory capacity expands over the next two years, pricing is unlikely to return to 2025 levels. TrendForce previously warned that surging memory and CPU costs could push mainstream laptop prices up by nearly 40% this year. Against that backdrop, Apple's MacBook Neo has driven stronger-than-expected notebook demand and prompted IDC to revise its notebook forecast upward. Launched in March at $599, the MacBook Neo pairs the A18 Pro chip with 8GB of memory and targets the sub-$700 notebook segment. This market accounts for approximately 75 million units annually, nearly 40% of total notebook volume, which is a tier historically dominated by Windows and ChromeOS devices. The MacBook Neo's competitive ripple effects cut both ways. IDC said the device is "putting real pressure on the entire PC ecosystem," and expects rivals to respond with new silicon, a more efficient OS from Microsoft, and aggressive promotional pricing. The competitive pressure from the MacBook Neo is providing a partial offset to broader price increases, keeping some low-cost notebook options alive, though the overall average selling price trajectory remains firmly upward. While rising memory costs are pushing many PC vendors toward higher-priced systems or forcing specification cuts to defend lower price points, Apple has moved in the opposite direction. The memory shortage has had a more direct impact on Apple's higher-end Mac models, with Mac mini and Mac Studio models seeing configuration cuts and significant shipping delays as the company struggles to secure supply.Related Roundup: MacBook NeoTag: IDCBuyer's Guide: MacBook Neo (Buy Now)Related Forum: MacBook NeoThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums12:20 pmApple Announces Europe's First Developer Center
Apple today announced it will open Europe's first Apple Developer Center in Berlin later this year. The facility joins existing Developer Centers in Bengaluru, Cupertino, Shanghai, and Singapore. Apple said the Berlin center, located in Mitte district, will offer developers throughout Europe in-person sessions, workshops, and one-on-one appointments in multiple languages, with consultation areas and dedicated labs staffed by Apple experts. Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations, Susan Prescott, said: Europe is home to an extraordinary community of developers who are building apps that create connections, encourage creativity, and drive innovation. We have always believed that when developers have the right tools and resources to do their best work, incredible things follow. That belief is what this center is built on, and we look forward to seeing what the community continues to build. The center will host a regular cadence of events covering iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS development, aimed at teams of all sizes and at every stage of app development. Apple said the programming is intended to help developers improve the design, quality, and performance of their apps. Apple noted that storefronts across Europe saw more than 150 million average weekly users in 2025, and that eligible developers can access the App Store Small Business Program, which offers a reduced 15% commission rate for small and individual developers. The announcement builds on Apple's existing developer investments in Europe, which include the Swift Student Challenge, 19 Apple Developer Academies worldwide, and Apple Foundation Programs in Italy and France. The company pointed out that developers also have access to more than 250,000 APIs across frameworks including HealthKit, Metal, Core ML, MapKit, and SwiftUI.Tags: Developer, Europe, GermanyThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums12:13 pmApple agrees to reveal India revenue in order to avoid massive $38B fine

Wigmore Hall Live today relaunches as a digital-only platform in partnership with Apple Music Classical, with all recording royalties passed directly to artists, Gramophone reports. Wigmore Hall is a prestigious 550-seat concert hall on Wigmore Street in London's Marylebone, widely regarded as one of the world's foremost venues for chamber music, early music, and vocal recitals. Opened in 1901 and noted for its particularly good acoustics, the Grade II listed building hosts over 500 concerts each year. The new partnership with Apple was announced as part of the Hall's 125th anniversary celebrations this year. Under the artist-first model, Wigmore Hall will cover all production costs for every release and take no share of recording income, passing 100% of royalties received directly to the performing artists. The platform will release four digital-only recordings per year, drawn from live performances at the Hall and developed in close collaboration with artists. Each new Wigmore Hall Live release will premiere exclusively on Apple Music Classical for three months. Director John Gilhooly said the partnership would allow listeners "to experience Wigmore Hall concerts as close to the live event as possible," citing Apple Music Classical's sound quality as central to that goal. The first release under the new model is Pianist Boris Giltburg's recording of Beethoven's Piano Sonatas Nos. 4, 8, 9, 20 ("Pathétique"), and 26 ("Les Adieux"), recorded live at Wigmore Hall in February 2025. The Piano Sonata No. 26 in E-flat major is available now, with the entire album to launch tomorrow. The release includes an artist commentary track in which Giltburg offers deeper insight into the repertoire. Apple Music Classical has previously partnered with institutions including the Berlin Philharmonic, Carnegie Hall, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the London Symphony Orchestra, the Metropolitan Opera, the New York Philharmonic, and the Vienna Philharmonic. The app launched in most countries in March 2023 and is included with a standard Apple Music subscription at no additional cost, offering access to over five million classical music tracks. It is based on Primephonic, a classical music streaming service acquired by Apple in 2021.

Apple has agreed to hand over financial data to India's competition regulator, in a move that could bring a years-long antitrust case significantly closer to a penalty decision. According to Reuters, a confidential Competition Commission of India (CCI) order showed that Apple last month agreed to supply its India-specific financials, which the watchdog typically needs to calculate potential fines. At a hearing on May 21, Apple's lawyer asked for a "final extension" until June 25 to file the information, and the CCI granted the request. The development is an important reversal for Apple, which had previously refused to provide financial information to the regulator. The company argued the case should be paused while it separately challenges India's revised antitrust penalty law, which allows fines to be levied against a company's global revenue rather than just local earnings, which could expose Apple to up to $38 billion in fines. The CCI repeatedly rejected that argument, saying it required only India financials to begin with and accused Apple of using the parallel court challenge to delay proceedings. Last month, a Delhi High Court judge directed Apple to cooperate with the investigation after the company sought to put the case on hold. The case dates back to 2021, when a coalition of complainants including Match Group, the owner of Tinder, and the Alliance of Digital India Foundation, which represents Indian startups, filed a complaint regarding App Store policies. The CCI concluded its investigation in 2024, finding that Apple had abused its dominant position in the market for iPhone apps and that the App Store was "an unavoidable trading partner" for developers, who were not permitted to use third-party payment services for in-app purchases. The case is unfolding as India becomes one of Apple's most consequential markets. The iPhone accounts for 9% of India's smartphone market, up from roughly 2% five years ago, and the company has significantly ramped up manufacturing in the country as part of its broader effort to reduce dependence on China.Tags: Apple Antitrust, IndiaThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums11:30 amMac beachballs or lagging performance?

There’s a good chance you’ll hate it
Macworld Apple’s going to unveil iOS 27 during its WWDC on Monday, and there’s a good chance that half of you are going to hate it. The single biggest change in this update is that Siri is going to evolve from an out-of-date phone assistant that doesn’t seem to work half the time to a full conversational chatbot, with hooks throughout the OS. Whether it works great or not, it’s going to make a lot of people mad. AI blowback is real, and it’s here, especially among younger generations. Listen to these college graduates boo at the mere mention of AI at their graduation: The fact of the matter is, Apple is going all-in on generative AI at a time when AI is increasingly associated with massive layoffs, huge data centers using tremendous amounts of water and power, chip shortages driving up costs, misinformation, abuse, suicides, you name it. A lot of people feel that generative AI is dangerous, unhelpful, and often confidently wrong, but it is being forced on them by a billionaire extraction class that just wants the stock to go up. At the same time, the current Siri is genuinely out of date, doesn’t work well, and needs a modern replacement. Plus, there are lots of people, not just the tech investors, who genuinely like AI and use it frequently. And they feel, perhaps rightly, that Apple is way behind and needs to catch up. So Apple is in a bit of a no-win situation. It has to delicately thread the needle of convincing the AI lovers and shareholders that with iOS 27, the iPhone is no longer years behind the competition in the biggest tech trend since the internet. But at the same time, it also needs to convince a large and growing group of AI haters that they’re not about to infect a billion iPhones with harmful, soulless slop. Apple has spent decades cultivating a reputation as the one big tech company that cares about privacy and security, respects creative artists, and protects the environment. And now it’s going to come out swinging with the very technology that is most strongly associated with the very opposite of all of those things. Can Apple pull off this delicate balancing act and make everyone happy? We’ll find out on June 8 but I think there’s a really good chance that no matter what Apple shows us at WWDC, half of the audience is going to be really unhappy.09:56 amStable Diffusion 1.5 running locally on an iPhone – 3 second generations 🤯 | Reddit on iOS ProgrammingStable Diffusion 1.5 running locally on an iPhone – 3 second generations 🤯

Macworld If I were to tell you that Apple’s newest laptop, which costs about 40 percent less than any other laptop it’s ever made, and was all anyone could talk about for a solid month, was actually selling really well… you would probably respond with, “No duh.” Well, that’s what’s happening. According to TechCrunch, market analyst IDC estimates that the MacBook Neo shipped 1.1 million units in the quarter ending in March. This, despite only being available for the last three weeks of March. That’s a lot more than any other Mac model. What’s more, they claim that shipments increased in April, so the number will only go up in the next quarter, probably by a lot. David Naranjo, associate director of Counterpoint Research, told TechCrunch that the Neo could “eventually help Apple increase its share of the $400-$699 notebook market from about 2 percent to around 15 percent.” I’m not sure what to do with those figures, since “eventually” could mean anything, and I’m not sure how Apple already has 2 percent of the $400-699 notebook market when they haven’t had a laptop priced anywhere near that, ever. Perhaps the 2 percent is his estimate of Apple’s current share, thanks to the Neo? Number issues aside, none of this should surprise anyone. The MacBook Neo is the first truly new Mac in years, and it just so happens to be a laptop that costs hundreds less than any MacBook before it. We should expect the newest and least expensive (by a wide margin) new Mac laptop to be the best seller, but it also comes at a time when component shortages are causing surging prices, and overall inflation has everyone watching their wallets. We knew it would be a hit when every Windows laptop maker scrambled as fast as they could to show that, actually, the MacBook Neo isn’t that great because this Windows laptop over here on sale for 50 percent off has bigger numbers on the spec sheet. But it seems that Apple has the biggest numbers that actually matter.09:00 amMicrosoft warns that some Office files might not open on your Mac next month
Macworld Microsoft has posted a support document that warns of a potential problem with Microsoft Office or 365 and iOS and macOS. Microsoft is ending support for devices running older operating systems, which can result in what the company calls “reduced functionality mode” with Office files. Users will be able to open and print files, but the files cannot be edited or saved, nor can new files be created. Microsoft states that this issue will arise starting on July 13. To restore functionality, Microsoft instructs users to update their device’s operating system to run its software. Macs require macOS 12 Monterey or later, iPhones require iOS 17 or later, and iPads require iPadOS 17 or later. Once the OS has been updated, Office/365 can be updated. Microsoft says the issue affects “both Microsoft 365 subscribers on macOS, iPhone, and iPad, and those with non-subscription software, including Office 2021 or Office 2019 on macOS. It published a support document that provides instructions on how to update your devices and Microsoft software. In the instance where a device can’t be upgraded to the required OS, Microsoft states that it will send an email “with more information” to the address listed in the customer’s Office or 365 account. Users can use 365 on the web at microsoft.com, or use Office on a different device. Users of Office 2019 for Mac will need to switch to Office web apps or subscribe to Microsoft 365.09:00 amShould you buy a Mac Studio now or wait?
Macworld The Mac Studio is Apple’s most powerful desktop following the discontinuation of the Mac Pro in 2026. It has effectively become Apple’s flagship professional workstation, aimed at users who need sustained CPU and GPU performance, large amounts of unified memory, and a desktop form factor. Typical Mac Studio buyers include video editors, software developers, AI and machine learning users, 3D artists, music producers, engineers, and other professionals whose workloads benefit from workstation-class performance. If you’re considering buying a Mac Studio, there are three questions to answer: Should you buy now or wait for the next generation? Can you actually buy the configuration you want given current shortages? Which model and specification is right for your workload? Mac Studio: Buy now or wait? Buy now if… You need a machine immediately. You’re upgrading from an Intel Mac. You primarily use: Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve Logic Pro and music production software Xcode and software development tools Docker, virtual machines, and development environments Your current Mac is slowing down your work. Though introduced in March 2024, the current Mac Studio remains an exceptionally capable workstation. The M4 Max model can comfortably handle 4K and 8K video editing, software development, professional audio production, creative applications, and demanding multitasking workloads. For professionals who need a powerful Mac workstation today, the Mac Studio remains the most affordable way to access Apple’s Max- and Ultra-class chips in a desktop form factor. Wait if… You already own an M1, M2, or newer Mac Studio. You’re specifically interested in the upcoming M5 generation. You want the longest possible lifespan from your purchase. You need the highest memory configurations available. Your workloads focus heavily on AI development or large-scale 3D rendering. A Mac Studio refresh is widely expected, with M5 Max and M5 Ultra models anticipated in the near future. If your current machine is still meeting your needs, waiting may provide access to newer architecture, updated connectivity standards, and potentially improved memory options. Mac Studio availability problems There are long waits for Mac Studio configurations.Foundry Availability is currently one of the biggest factors affecting purchasing decisions. Several higher-memory configurations of Mac Studio have become difficult to obtain, while some models have experienced extended shipping times. As a result, the configuration that looks best on paper may not be the configuration you can actually buy. If you need a Mac Studio immediately, availability may ultimately determine which model and specification makes the most sense. When is the next Mac Studio expected? The current Mac Studio lineup was introduced in March 2025 with M4 Max and M3 Ultra options. Industry expectations point toward a refresh featuring M5-series chips, there were expectations that the update could happen as soon as WWDC on June 8. However, exact timing is now uncertain because supply-chain and memory availability issues could affect both launch timing and availability of future models. When Apple introduces new Mac Studio models buyers can expect improvements in performance, AI capabilities, storage speeds, wireless connectivity, and overall platform longevity. Max vs Ultra: Which Mac Studio should you buy? Foundry The primary difference between the Mac Studio Ultra and Max models lies in the processing architecture, where the Ultra chip essentially combines two Max chips into a single die to provide roughly double the performance cores and graphical power. The choice between the two comes down to the intensity of your workflow. M4 Max Mac Studio: Best for most professionals Apple Mac Studio (M4 Max, 2025) Read our review Price When Reviewed: $1,999 Best Prices Today: $1999 at Apple | $1999 at B&H The M4 Max Mac Studio offers a lower entry price and is the model most buyers should choose. It’s ideal for: Video editing Software development Music production Photography and design work General professional workloads Starting at $1,999, it delivers workstation-class performance without the significant premium commanded by Ultra models. M3 Ultra Mac Studio: Best for extreme workloads Apple Mac Studio (M3 Ultra, 2025) Price When Reviewed: $3,999 Best Prices Today: $3999 at Apple | $3999 at B&H The M3 Ultra is designed for users who regularly push hardware to its limits. It’s best suited to: Large AI models Professional 3D rendering Scientific computing Massive video-production projects Heavily multi-threaded workloads The Ultra architecture provides substantially more CPU and GPU resources, higher memory ceilings, and greater expansion potential than the M4 Max. However, most professionals will not fully utilise its additional performance. Where to buy Mac Studio to get the best deals In the U.S., you can usually buy the Mac Studio from Apple and the following stockists. Right now availability is constrained and delivery dates are weeks away, however. Apple has a 9-10 week wait for the 32GB models, but the 64GB and 94GB RAM options have a 16-18 week wait. B&H has a listing for the M4 Max Mac Studio, but they are “unavailable”. The M3 Ultra Mac Studio is listed as “discontinued”. Best Buy lists the M4 Max Mac Studio unavailable and the M3 Ultra as “sold out”. In the U.K., you can usually buy the Mac Studio from Apple or the following stockists: Apple has a 10-11 week wait for most models, although the 64GB RAM option has a 16-18 week wait. KRCS offers long delivery times for the Mac mini M4 Max, with the 512GB model being out of stock. Argos stocks the Mac Studio, but both models are out of stock. Currys stocks the Mac Studio, but both models are out of stock. Another option is to buy refurbished. The best option to buy a refurbished Mac Studio would normally be Apple’s Certified Refurbished Store, but there are none available as of June 2026. We have seen a refurbished deal at BackMarket U.K. that could be worth buying, if you really need a Mac Studio: Mac Studio, M4 Max, 36GB RAM, 511GB: £2,725. Delivery is in days. Note that it would usually cost £2,099 so you are paying a premium for a highly sought after Mac. The U.S. Back Market has an M2 Max Mac Studio for $2,152. What specifications should you choose? Assuming you can find one in stock, here is some guidance on which specifications to select. RAM Memory is more important than processor upgrades for many buyers. Because Apple Silicon uses unified memory and cannot be upgraded later, it’s worth buying more RAM than you think you’ll need. As a general rule: 36GB–48GB is sufficient for most professional users. 64GB–96GB is recommended for serious video production, AI workloads, and advanced creative work. Higher capacities are most useful for large AI models, 3D projects, and specialist professional workflows. Don’t make the mistake of spending your budget on a larger CPU upgrade while compromising on memory. Storage Internal storage can be supplemented with external Thunderbolt drives, making it easier to expand later. For most professional users: 1TB is a sensible minimum. 2TB is a better long-term choice. Larger capacities are best reserved for users with substantial media libraries or large project files. Mac Studio vs Mac mini: Which is best? Many buyers should also consider the Mac mini. Although, like Mac Studio component shortages are affecting availability. Apple Mac mini (M4 Pro, 2024) Read our review Price When Reviewed: $1,399 Best Prices Today: $1399 at Apple | $1399 at Apple United States | $1399 at B&H The Mac Studio is worth the extra cost if you need: More GPU performance Higher memory capacities More Thunderbolt connectivityAdditional display support10Gb Ethernet and extensive peripheral support Note that the Mac mini with M4 Pro is a more compelling alternative than waiting for an M5 Mac mini. One key advantage is connectivity: only the M4 Pro Mac mini and the Mac Studio support Thunderbolt 5, while the standard M4 Mac mini is limited to Thunderbolt 4. Thunderbolt 5 provides significantly greater bandwidth and is particularly valuable for: External SSD arrays and high-speed storage Professional video editing and post-production workflows Multi-display setups Audio production and recording environments AI clusters, machine learning workloads, and advanced storage solutions For users who can benefit from these capabilities, the M4 Pro Mac mini offers advantages that are likely to remain relevant even as newer generations are released. If your workloads are primarily coding, productivity, and moderate creative work, the Mac mini m4 Pro may offer better value. Other things to consider Apple The Mac Studio does not include a display, keyboard, or mouse. A professional monitor can add significantly to the overall cost of ownership, so factor this into your budget before purchasing. If you’re buying for the long term: Prioritise RAM. Don’t skimp on storage. Buy the best configuration you can realistically afford. Consider whether waiting for the next generation makes sense if you expect to keep the machine for five years or more. Should you buy a Mac Studio? Buy now if you’re upgrading from an Intel Mac, your current machine is holding back your work, or you need a workstation immediately. Good luck finding one though. Wait if you already own a recent Mac Studio, want the latest M5 architecture, or need the highest-end configurations and are willing to see how Apple’s next-generation lineup develops.08:58 amService Issue – Block Storage Newark, US

Macworld Anker 140W 4-port GaN charger View Deal (function () { document.querySelector("#sticky-promo-block a").addEventListener("click", function(e) { const debug = document.location.host.search(/lndo.site|go-vip.net/) !== -1; const text = this.closest("#sticky-promo-block").querySelector("p.promo-title").textContent; const data = { event: "stickyConversionUnitClick", eventCategory: "Sticky Conversion", eventAction: "Click", eventLabel: text }; if(debug)console.log("Sticky Conversion CLick - pushing to dataLayer: ", data); dataLayer.push(data); return true; }); })(); If you’re looking for an easy way to free up cable clutter both at your desk and on the road, this Anker 140W four-port GaN charger is down to $65, a savings of $25. It’s a great deal on its own, but the included 5-foot 240W USB-C cable makes the deal even sweeter, since similar cables sell for $10-$15. This speedy Anker block replaces up to four separate chargers. There are three USB-C ports and one USB-A port available, and they can all run at the same time. The top two USB-C ports can each hit 140W at their peak, which is enough to fast-charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro, not just the smaller Air. That matters if you’re powering a laptop alongside a phone and tablet, so you’re not sacrificing charging speed on the device that needs it most. When all ports are in use, the top C-port will be able to hit 65W charging, which is still enough for laptops, while the second caps out at 45W, and the last Type-C port and the A-port can deliver a maximum of 12W each. GaN construction keeps the footprint smaller than older charger designs at this wattage. Since this is a four-port charger, however, you shouldn’t expect this to be a tiny travel-sized model. It has a size to match, and that’s perfectly ok. For a desk setup or a packed travel bag where you’re replacing several chargers, that tradeoff makes sense. At $65, the Anker 140W charger is a great value, and it can easily replace a full drawer of chargers—and a couple of cables too.08:25 amBest MacBook backpacks, bags, cases and sleeves
Macworld A good MacBook bag shares many qualities with Apple’s laptops. We want it to be tough, so it needs to be made from good materials. We want to use it for multiple tasks, so it needs to have plenty of pockets and compartments. Let’s admit it, with the diminishing number of ports on the MacBook, the bags often have the edge. And since we all admire good design here, we certainly don’t mind if the bag looks fantastic. Plus, whatever MacBook you’ve got, Air or Pro, you’ve probably spent enough on it that you don’t want to risk it breaking—and don’t mind spending just a little more to keep it safe. There’s no shortage of companies out there that make protective accessories for MacBooks, from laptop bags and rucksacks to sleeves, covers, and shells that clip on directly, and plenty of them do their best to be just as stylish as the Mac they’re protecting. We’ve rounded up a selection of our favorite cases, sleeves, backpacks, roll-tops, shells and totes for the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, whether you have a 13-, 14-, 15- or 16-inch model, to keep your Mac safe. Some might seem expensive but remember you are entrusting the bag to protect your valuable MacBook and also relieving stress on your body when carrying it. Here’s where you don’t want to skimp and risk your laptop, back and neck. Keep reading for the full list or jump to your preferred type of laptop carrier below. A sleeve usually just protects the MacBook from scuffs and knocks when carried on its own or as further protection within a bag. Backpacks offer a lot more storage aside from your tech. Briefcases are somewhere in between and often look more business smart. We rounded up other bags such as duffles, messenger bags and totes, wheeled luggage, and finished with protective shells that encase the MacBook for all-day protection.

With iOS 27, designed to support the folding "iPhone Ultra," Apple might solve one of the biggest problems with foldable devices. (via Cult of Mac - Your source for the latest Apple news, rumors, analysis, reviews, how-tos and deals.)10:03 pmSiri in iOS 27: Every New Feature and Change to Expect
Apple first introduced the idea of a smarter version of Siri at the 2024 Worldwide Developers Conference. Siri with Apple Intelligence was supposed to launch as part of iOS 18, but the underlying architecture wasn't good enough, and Apple was forced to delay the feature. We're now expecting a new version of Siri in iOS 27 with some long-awaited smarts. Siri's New Capabilities Based on Apple's promises and rumors about what's coming in the new version of iOS, Siri in iOS 27 will be nothing like Siri in iOS 26. In 2024, Apple showed us three ways that Siri will improve, but two years have passed and extra work has been done, so we're expecting even more than what Apple demonstrated back then. Siri is going to be able to draw on user data and information from Apple devices, with access to personal data for completing tasks. The assistant is also going to be able to do more with apps, and it will be able to tell what's on the screen to answer questions. Personal Context Siri will be able to access emails, messages, files, photos, and more, learning all about you to help you complete tasks and keep track of what you've been sent. Apple offered some examples of how personal context will work: Show me the files Eric sent me last week. Find the email where Eric mentioned ice skating. Find the books that Eric recommended to me. Where's the recipe that Eric sent me? What's my passport number? Onscreen Awareness Onscreen awareness will let Siri see what's on your screen and complete actions involving whatever you're looking at. If someone texts you an address, you can tell Siri to add it to their contact card. Or if you're looking at a photo and want to send it to someone, you can ask Siri to do it for you. App Integration Siri will be able to do more in and across apps, performing actions and completing tasks that are just not possible with the personal assistant right now. We don't have a full picture of what Siri will be capable of, but Apple gave a few examples of what to expect. Moving files from one app to another. Editing a photo and then sharing it with someone. Getting directions home and sending the ETA in the Messages app. Drafting and then sending an email. Siri will be able to complete tasks in Apple apps and in third-party apps, with developers able to expose app capabilities to Siri. Siri as a Chatbot Apple is turning Siri into a full chatbot that users can interact with similarly to Claude or ChatGPT. The Siri chatbot will be integrated into Apple's operating systems at the system level, plus there will be a Siri app for back-and-forth conversations. Siri will be able to do the same things that other chatbots can do. It will be able to search the web for answers to questions and provide summaries, evaluate and summarize uploaded documents, and even generate images and content so you can do things like get help with writing or creating an infographic. Unlike ChatGPT and Claude, Siri will have deeper Apple device integration and more access to user data. Current chatbots can't access your mail app, what you've written in notes, your Photos Library, or your messages, but Siri will have that information. Personal data access will set Siri apart and give iPhone users some of the features that Android users have been able to enjoy thanks to Gemini's integration with Google services. Siri will be able to answer multi-part questions, remember what it was asked before, maintain context across requests, and remember details about the user. Siri's Design With Siri's chatbot transition, Apple will be making multiple Siri-related design changes. Siri will largely live in the Dynamic Island, and there will be new ways to access Siri. Swiping down from the center of the iPhone's display from the Home Screen or any app will bring up a new "Search or Ask" feature in the Dynamic Island. A glowing, pill-shaped animation will be displayed in the Dynamic Island to indicate that Siri is processing a request. Image via Bloomberg When Siri has an answer, the Dynamic Island will expand into a transparent card with the result, incorporating images, info from the web, notes and other information relevant to the query or request. Swiping on the results card will bring up a conversation mode that looks similar to an iMessage chat, and there will be an option to transition to the full Siri app. Search or Ask replaces Siri Suggestions and will let users launch apps, start text messages, ask about the weather, add calendar appointments, trigger shortcuts in apps, and search the web using Apple's new AI web search feature. Search or Ask queries will also be able to be sent to third-party chatbot services like ChatGPT instead of Siri. While Siri can be accessed through a swipe in iOS 27, Apple is keeping the "Hey Siri" wake word and Siri activation through the Side button. With the new center swipe, accessing the Notification Center will be done with a swipe down on the left side of the display. Swiping down on the right side will continue to bring up Control Center. Apple will also integrate an "Ask Siri" button into the menus of its apps, giving users a way to send content directly to Siri alongside a request. The new Siri interface uses dark colors with no light mode available. Siri UI elements have a dark background with color accents that mirror the options Apple is using in WWDC imagery. Apple's WWDC website features a white Swift bird with subtle highlights in pink, dark blue, purple, and orange. A Siri App There will be a dedicated Siri app for interacting with Siri, and it will look similar to apps for third-party chatbots but with an Apple design aesthetic. We have a separate guide on the Siri app. iOS 27: What We Know About the New Siri App Privacy Apple plans to lean into privacy as a central principle of its approach to AI, giving it a way to distinguish Siri from other chatbot options. Apple will likely aim to keep as much processing on-device as possible to limit the amount of data that leaves a user's device. Apple said that Apple Intelligence features will continue to run on Apple devices and Private Cloud Compute. Apple will have limits around memory, including restrictions on the information that can persist and how long it is kept. Users will be able to auto-delete Siri chats and requests after a set period of time, like 30 days or one year. There will also be an option to keep chats permanently. Siri can be turned off right now, as can Apple Intelligence, and there's no sign that's going to change in iOS 27. Users who don't want to enable Siri or use the new features will not have to. Siri Extensions Apple is letting rival chatbots integrate with Siri in iOS 27, expanding on the OpenAI partnership that currently allows Siri to hand off requests to ChatGPT. Apple plans to allow other chatbots like Claude and Gemini to work with Siri, so users will be able to send questions to their favorite chatbot instead of Siri. iPhone users will be able to select which services they want to use inside Siri through "Extensions" options coming to iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27. The options will be available in the Apple Intelligence and Siri section of the Settings app, with Apple providing download links for chatbot apps. There will be a dedicated Extensions section in the App Store that will serve as a way to choose a third-party AI app. Siri will be the default for the Search or Ask interface, but rumors suggest users will be able to select other chatbots to speak with. Users will also be able to choose third-party AI services as the default for Apple Intelligence features like Writing Tools and Image Playground, expanding Apple Intelligence integration beyond ChatGPT. Apple also plans to let users choose voices from third-party AI to use instead of Siri, so there will be a distinct audio difference between a response from Siri and a response from the user's chatbot of choice. Siri would use one voice, while responses from third-party AI options would use another voice. Gemini Help To get Siri up and running, Apple partnered with Google to use Gemini AI models instead of using its own AI models. Apple signed a multi-year deal to use Google's Gemini models and cloud technology for its Apple Foundation Models. Google and Apple said that the next generation of Apple Foundation Models will be based on Google Gemini models, with Gemini used to power future Apple Intelligence features and the more personalized version of Siri. Apple said Google's AI technology offered the most capable foundation for its models. Device Compatibility Apple Intelligence features require an iPhone 15 Pro or later, and it's possible some of the new Siri options could be limited to those same models. Launch Date Apple will preview the new Siri at its WWDC 2026 keynote event on June 8, with betas of iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 provided to developers the same day. Public betas will come in July, and the software updates will launch in September. It is not yet clear if all of the new Siri features will be available in the beta, or even right when iOS 27 launches.Related Roundup: iOS 27Tag: SiriThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums09:50 pm9to5Mac Daily: June 2, 2026 – iOS 26.5.1, new Apple Wallet rumors

Apple has proposed an Apple Pencil-like stylus that could be used with Apple Vision Pro to convey the texture of virtual objects through haptic feedback.Apple Pencil can now react to the surface of an iPad, but in future versions could become virtual reality sensors - image credit: AppleThere's an old children's toy where one pencil is connected to another such that drawing with the first pencil also moves the second. A newly-granted patent is akin to this idea, except instead of copying or enlarging drawings, the Apple Pencil relays "surface roughness and other surface features, as well as motion data (e.g., trajectory and velocity) of the hand-held device" in virtual reality.This "Surface texture detection and emulation" patent does explicitly refer to a "pencil" system, but it's really applicable to any handheld device. Whatever form it takes, this is most probably an Apple Vision Pro accessory that Apple says is specifically intended to create "increased immersion during XR [Extended Reality] sessions."

A memory shortage that isn't expected to ease before the end of 2027 will drive global PC shipments down 11.3% in 2026, even as Apple's MacBook Neo puts new pressure on PC rivals.MacBook NeoMarket research firm IDC expects conditions to worsen through the year, with PC shipments projected to fall 20% year over year in the fourth quarter. Rising memory costs are limiting product availability and making it harder for manufacturers to maintain broad product lineups.PC shipments still grew 3% during the first quarter of 2026, but that came from buyers accelerating purchases ahead of expected price increases and shortages. Much of that demand was pulled forward from later in the year, masking a market facing tighter supplies and a weaker outlook.

Microsoft Office 2019 and 2021 for Mac will reportedly drop into "reduced functionality mode" on July 13, 2026, when a license-validation certificate expires, leaving perpetually licensed apps able to open files but not edit or save them. Slashdot reader joshuark shares a report from OSnews: "Microsoft Office 2019 and 2021 for Mac view-only conversion (2026) is a scheduled remote degradation of perpetually-licensed Microsoft Office software for macOS and iOS, set for July 13, 2026 when a license-validation certificate used by the Office apps expires," reports the Consumer Rights Wiki. "After Office 2019 for Mac reached end of support in October 2023, Microsoft assured customers their installed apps would 'continue to function.' The July 13, 2026 conversion instead drops the apps into a Microsoft-defined 'reduced functionality mode,' in which files can be opened and viewed but not edited or saved. By May 30, 2026, the original 2023 end-of-support page had been re-dated and rewritten on Microsoft's site; the 'continue to function' clause was removed." Microsoft's advice to the users they're stealing from is to keep using the applications as mere viewers, switch to the free Office 365 web applications, pay for a 365 subscription, or buy a brand new regular copy of Office 2024. None of these make any sense, and clearly, all of this should be illegal, but it's not because the software industry is a clown show.

Macworld At a glanceExpert's Rating Pros Instant KVM switching 2x 4K/60Hz display support EDID emulation Cons Takes up two MacBook ports Weak USB device charging Our Verdict If you have a shared setup of one MacBook and one desktop Windows PC or a desktop Mac mini or Studio, the KVM functionality of the iDock M10 comes into its own when those two computers are sharing the same dual displays and input devices at different times. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Price When Reviewed$289.99 Best Prices Today: AV Access iDock M10 KVM Switch Docking Station for MacBook Retailer Price $289.99 View Deal AV Access $289.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket A KVM docking station enables you to instantly share a single set of peripherals—the KVM stands for Keyboard, Video (monitors) and Mouse—between two computers. While most docks allow you to connect different computers, a KVM dock makes it easier with a special “Switch”—a button that you push to instantly take control from the other computer. The KVM Switch virtually disconnects the first computer and connects the second without you having to unplug any cables. For dual-computer setups, this can save on desk space and hardware costs, as well as potentially increasing productivity through time savings. The dock is connected to both of your computers using dedicated video and USB cables. The iDock M10 from AV Access is a Mac-dedicated KVM dock that you can connect to a MacBook and a desktop computer, including a Windows PC. It comes with a KVM Wired Remote Controller, which is the button you press to toggle between computers. The AV Access iDock M10 is best for users sharing dual monitors, keyboard and mouse between a MacBook and a desktop PC or Mac. Setup requires two MacBook Thunderbolt ports and dedicated connections to both computers. Major limitations include weak device charging, limited port flexibility, no support for two laptops, and no workaround for base M1/M2 single-display restrictions. Simon Jary Specs and features Two upstream USB-C ports (10Gbps, 100W) Two USB-A ports (10Gbps) Two USB-A ports (5Gbps) One USB-C port (10Gbps, 7.5W) Two HDMI ports One DisplayPort (upstream to PC) One HDMI port (upstream to PC) Ethernet (1Gb) UHS-I SD card reader (104MBps) 3.5mm combo In/Out audio jack (front) 3.5mm KVM Switch jack (back) 120W power supply The DisplayPort and HDMI port next to each other are to connect to the desktop computer. You connect your displays using the two adjacent HDMI ports.Simon Jary The dock comes with two HDMI ports to connect to dual 4K displays at 60Hz. Remember that base M1/M2 Macs and the MacBook Neo are limited to just one external display, and the M10 is not a DisplayLink dock that can resolve that limitation. Any M1/M2 Pro/Max or later MacBook is fine, supporting two displays. Two monitors are supported on base M3 MacBooks, although the laptop’s lid must remain closed. Handily, there’s a wake-up button the top of the iDock, shown below, that means you don’t have to open the M3’s lid every time you want to start using it; the Wired Remote Controller will also wake it. Next to the top button are indicator lights showing which of the computers is currently in use. Simon Jary While switching between computers is super easy with a KVM, the iDock M10 demands it connects to your MacBook using two of the laptop’s Thunderbolt ports, which means you then really need the other ports offered by the docking station. The iDock M10 features 15 ports but four of them are used as upstream connections to the two computers. Two USB-C ports connect to the MacBook (a special dual-USB-C cable is included) while the desktop PC connects via one USB-C port and either a DisplayPort or HDMI port. As Macs don’t come with a DisplayPort, that means you’ll use one Thunderbolt port and the HDMI port of the Mac to connect to the KVM dock. Connect the MacBook using the dual-USB-C cable that takes up two of the laptop’s Thunderbolt ports. The PC is connected via the dock’s USB-C and either of the DisplayPort or HDMI ports.Simon Jary The upstream USB-C connections can passthrough up to 100W of power to the connected MacBook. The one spare USB-C port can output at 7.5W, which will charge an iPhone or iPad but slowly. None of the other USB ports can supply more than a trickle of charging power to devices, however—enough to power a mouse or keyboard. That means any connected storage device may need its own power supply. The remaining dock ports include four USB-A ports and one USB-C port, as well as an SD card reader slot, Gigabit Ethernet port and a headphone jack. Most modern docks now include at least 2.5Gb Ethernet but 1GbE is still the norm and will work with faster networks, although pegged back to its maximum speed. The data-only USB-C port is rated at a speedy 10Gbps, but four USB-A ports is overkill these days where USB-C now rules the roost. The USB-A ports are fine for the keyboard and mouse, but most of us are used to wireless input devices these days. With the AV Access iDock M10 you will undoubtedly save time switching between computers in this specific wired setup compared to pairing wireless input devices but is it worth losing a second Thunderbolt port for? With any dock, monitors should work seamlessly with most docks connecting to different computers, so the KVM part is mostly to enable near-instant sharing of wired keyboard and mouse between the MacBook and desktop. That’s one of the limitations of a KVM dock—it uses up a lot of the computers’ ports, and the ports on the dock just aren’t as versatile as the ports on most modern docks. Simon Jary Who is the iDock M10 actually for? The point of a KVM dock is to share peripherals between two different computers at the simple push of a button. The iDock M10 is built for a MacBook and a Windows PC setup, but with some self-supplied cables you could share between a MacBook and a Mac mini or Mac Studio. You can’t share between two laptops. The MacBook will be connected via the Dual-USB-C–to–Dual-USB-C Cable that is provided in the box. For the Mac mini, you will need to provide your own USB-C–to–USB-C cable plus USB-C–to–DisplayPort cable to connect to the docking station. For the Mac Studio, you will need to use the supplied USB-C–to–USB-A cable plus your own USB-C–to– DisplayPort cable to connect to the docking station. No software driver is required for the KVM Switch to operate. The KVM Wired Remote Controller can be pressed to switch between the two computers sharing the keyboard, mouse and screens.Simon Jary How does a KVM dock remember the screen setup for each computer? EDID emulation tricks the video source (the laptop or desktop) into thinking a specific, compatible display is permanently connected. It stores the display’s identification data—such as resolution, arrangement and refresh rate—even if the actual monitor is switched to the other device. Using EDID the iDock remembers the disconnected computer’s video settings when using the other. This keeps each computer’s video settings as desired despite swapping between them, and also prevents any screen flickering and resolution reset delays caused by the disconnecting and reconnecting. Simon Jary Price The AV Access iDock M10 is priced at $289.99 / €323.99. It is also available at Amazon and Amazon UK. That’s at the high end of the pricing charts for a USB-C docking station—especially one with so few extra ports—but you are paying for the special KVM Switch functionality and its ability to increase productivity in a specific MacBook plus PC/Mac shared setup. Should you buy the AV Access iDock M10? This dock is not aimed at most Mac users. If you need a standalone dock for one computer or don’t mind flipping between keyboard and mouse when you have two computers, there are more compelling solutions, which you’ll find in our roundup of the best Mac docking stations. However, if you have a shared setup of one MacBook and one desktop Windows PC or a desktop Mac (mini or Studio), the KVM functionality of the iDock M10 comes into its own when those two computers are sharing the same dual displays and input devices at different times.07:25 pmiOS 27 could make AirPods a lot more powerful with one upgrade

Google today said its Quick Share feature that allows Android and iPhone users to exchange files with AirDrop is expanding to more devices. Quick Share is now available on the following Android smartphones. Samsung: Galaxy S26, S26+, S26 Ultra Galaxy S25, S25+, S25 Ultra, S25 Edge (new) Galaxy S24, S24+, S24 Ultra (new) Galaxy Z Flip7 (new) Galaxy Z Fold7 (new) Galaxy Z Flip6 (new) Galaxy Z Fold6 (new) Galaxy Z TriFold (new) Google: Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, 10 Pro Fold, 10a Pixel 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, 9 Pro Fold, 9a Pixel 8a Other Smartphone Makers: HONOR Magic V6 (new) OnePlus 15 (new) Xiaomi 17T Pro OPPO Find X9, X9 Pro, X9 Ultra, X9s OPPO Find N6 Vivo X300, X300 Pro, X300 Ultra Quick Share is the Android equivalent of AirDrop, and Google added AirDrop integration in November 2025. iPhone users can AirDrop files and photos to Quick Share-enabled Android devices, while Android users can use Quick Share to send files and photos to iPhone users. On an Android device, users need to make sure the Share with Apple devices setting is turned on and that the iPhone user sets AirDrop visibility to "Everyone for 10 minutes" through the Control Center. From there, an Android to iPhone file transfer is identical to a standard AirDrop transfer on the iPhone end. On an iPhone, sharing a file to an Android smartphone is done through the standard AirDrop interface. Android owners receiving files will need to make sure Quick Share Receive mode is on, and then an iPhone user sending a file will see the Android device in the AirDrop list. Android devices that are not compatible with Quick Share can generate a QR code that can be used to share content with iPhone users via the cloud. Though Google positions the Quick Share to AirDrop file transfer feature as an Android/iPhone option, Android users can also exchange files with iPads and Macs. Google plans to bring Quick Share to the Motorola Razr Fold 2026, OPPO Find X8 series, and HONOR Magic8 Pro in the coming months.Tags: AirDrop, Android, GoogleThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums07:15 pmApple scores Gotham Television Award win for Breakthrough Drama ‘Pluribus’
