Apple plans to introduce the first Apple Intelligence features in iOS 18.1, debuting Writing Tools, notification summaries, smart replies, and more. iOS 18.1 will be followed by iOS 18.2, which Apple started testing this week. iOS 18.2 has Genmoji, Image Playground, and Siri ChatGPT integration, but there are still some Apple Intelligence features that won't be introduced until even later. More Siri Features Apple plans to make major updates to Siri, and has outlined new functionality that will make Siri much more helpful. Siri will be able to learn more about you through your communications and actions on your iPhone, but this personal context won't be coming until a later update. Personal context will incorporate texts, emails, notes, and more, so you'll be able to ask Siri for things like a flight number buried in an email, or a recipe that a friend once texted you. Siri will also be able to do more in apps, both first and third-party, with in-app actions. Siri will be able to do things like edit a photo for you and then send it to someone in the Messages app, or pull a PDF from an email and save it to the Files app. Siri will also be able to get information and take action in third-party apps, doing things like getting a weather readout from Carrot Weather or scheduling an event in Fantastical. New Siri capabilities will either come in iOS 18.3 or iOS 18.4 in 2025. Genmoji on macOS macOS Sequoia 15.2 includes support for Image Playground, but it does not have Genmoji integration as of yet. You can create Genmoji with iOS 18.2 and iPadOS 18.2, but there is no Mac feature for making custom emoji characters. Memory Movies on macOS The Memory Movie feature that lets you create slideshows from your photos using text descriptions is limited to the iPhone and iPad in iOS/iPadOS 18.1 and later. It will come to macOS Sequoia in the future. Priority Notifications Apple is working on a feature that will show you your most important notifications first. Priority Notifications will show up at the top of your notification stack. More Languages Apple plans to add support for more languages in 2025, including Chinese, English (India), English (Singapore), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Vietnamese, and more. Apple Intelligence Release Timing Writing Tools, the new Siri design, Type to Siri, notification summaries, smart replies, Clean Up in Photos, and several other features are available in iOS 18.1, which will be released on Monday, October 28. Image Playground, Genmoji, Siri ChatGPT integration, and other features will be released in iOS 18.2, which will likely launch in December. iOS 18.2 will be the last iOS update of 2024. All other Apple Intelligence features are expected in iOS 18.3 and iOS 18.4, which will be released in 2025. iOS 18.3 could come as soon as late January, while iOS 18.4 will likely be a March update.Related Roundups: iOS 18, iPadOS 18Related Forums: iOS 18, iPadOS 18This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums08:57 pmiOS 18.2 lets you ask Siri about what’s on your screen

Macworld Apple has issued a new firmware update just for AirPods Pro 2. The firmware, version 7B19, applies to both the USB-C and Lightning version of the AirPods–the previous firmware version was 7A305. Most AirPods updates are just bug fixes, but this one enabled the new Hearing features of iOS 18.1, and Apple has release notes that say something more than just “bug fixes and other improvements” for a change: When used with an iPhone or iPad running iOS 18.1 or iPadOS 18.1 or later, AirPods Pro 2 with firmware update 7B19 enable three new features–a Hearing Test, Hearing Aid, and Hearing Protection. The Apple Hearing Test feature provides scientifically-validated hearing test results from the comfort of home (intended for users 18 years or older). The Hearing Aid feature provides personalized, clinical-grade assistance that is automatically applied to sounds in your environment as well as music, videos, and calls (intended for users 18 years or older with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss) The Hearing Protection feature helps users minimize exposure to loud environmental noise across listening modes (available in the United States and Canada) Features require AirPods Pro 2 with firmware version 7B19 or later. All features may not be available for all countries or regions. There’s no way to force your AirPods to update their firmware, so it’s a good thing Apple is releasing this firmware several days before the release of iOS 18.1. AirPods Pro 2 USB-C Read our review Price When Reviewed: $249 Best Prices Today: $182.95 at B&H | $249 at Apple | $297.50 at Amazon Updating your AirPods firmware The new firmware will automatically install when the AirPods are in their case and charging. It can take hours or even days to get the latest firmware. If you haven’t used your AirPods in a long time, taking them out of their case and using them for a few minutes before putting them back in and on the charger may help speed things up. To see what firmware version your AirPods are running, you can open the Settings app, select your connected AirPods (near the top), scroll down past all the options to the About section, and look at the Version line.

Of these three, the clinical-grade Hearing Aid feature is intended for users with mild to moderate hearing loss.

As we get into the final months of 2024, now is a good opportunity to look back at devices and accessories that Apple discontinued throughout the year. Apple products discontinued this year include the iPad 9, SuperDrive, FineWoven cases for the iPhone, and the Powerbeats Pro earbuds. This list excludes most previous-generation devices that were discontinued this year as part of annual updates to Apple's product lineup, such as the iPhone 15 Pro and Apple Watch Series 9. The one exception to this rule is the iPad 9, as that device was discontinued in May, over a year and a half after the iPad 10 launched. Check out our previous lists of Apple products discontinued in 2023, 2022, and 2021 as well. iPad 9 On the same day that it unveiled new iPad Pro and iPad Air models in May, Apple discontinued the ninth-generation, entry-level iPad. In addition, Apple lowered the price of the tenth-generation iPad, which now starts at $349 in the U.S., down from $449. SuperDrive In August, the SuperDrive went out of stock on Apple's online store in the U.S., and it is now listed as sold out or unavailable in all countries. Given it has yet to return, it seems likely that Apple has discontinued the 16-year-old accessory. Introduced in 2008, the SuperDrive is an external CD/DVD drive that was released alongside the original MacBook Air, which lacked a built-in CD/DVD drive. Despite having an outdated USB-A cable attached to it, the SuperDrive remained available on Apple's online store until just recently, becoming one of the company's longest-sold products. FineWoven Cases Apple last year discontinued its leather accessories, including iPhone cases, and it introduced a new "FineWoven" fabric material as a replacement. "FineWoven" cases for the iPhone 15 series were widely panned, and it appears that Apple was well aware of this feedback, as the material is no longer offered for iPhone 16 cases just a year later. It is unclear if Apple will come up with a new solution. Powerbeats Pro Apple this month quietly discontinued the Powerbeats Pro, around five and a half years after the wireless earbuds launched. Powerbeats Pro are a sportier, fitness-focused alternative to AirPods Pro with built-in, adjustable ear hooks for a secure fit. Key features of the original Powerbeats Pro include the H1 chip that debuted in the AirPods 2, IPX4-rated sweat and water resistance, up to nine hours of battery life, and silicone ear tips with four size options. In a short teaser video last month, Apple revealed that it will be launching new Powerbeats Pro 2 next year. The earbuds look similar to the original Powerbeats Pro, but they have a more vertical, slimmer design. MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris later discovered iOS 18 code revealing that the Powerbeats Pro 2 will feature heart rate monitoring during workouts, and gain support for Active Noise Cancellation, Spatial Audio, and Adaptive Audio.This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums07:26 pmBudget app with voice recognition to add expenses, etc

Macworld Apple has a contentious relationship with allowing users to choose default apps on iPhone and iPad, and it has been the subject of a lot of legal action around the world. Imagine our surprise, then, when the company introduced some changes in the iOS 18.2 beta that make it easier to change some of your app defaults, and even makes a couple of new categories available. In iOS 18, you can open Settings then tap Apps at the bottom of the settings page to show all your app-specific settings. With the iOS 18.2 beta, that list is topped by a new Default Apps menu. The menu lets you choose system default apps for Email, Messaging, Calling, Call Filtering, your default browser, default app for passwords and codes, and keyboards. Foundry Some of these options existed before but were scattered in various other Settings menus. However, the Calling and Messaging categories are entirely new. There don’t appear to be any third-party apps yet that can be chosen as defaults in these categories, but that would likely come later as Apple releases new frameworks and apps update to use them.07:03 pmApple expected to unveil new M4 MacBook Pro, M4 iMac, and M4 Mac mini models next week | Mac Daily NewsApple expected to unveil new M4 MacBook Pro, M4 iMac, and M4 Mac mini models next week

Apple today released a new firmware update for the AirPods Pro 2, with the software available for both the USB-C and Lightning models. The AirPods Pro 2 firmware has a build number of 7B19, up from the 7A305 firmware released in September. The new AirPods Pro 2 firmware comes just ahead of when Apple plans to launch Hearing Health features in iOS 18.1. Hearing Health includes a hearing test that mimics an audiologist's test, and hearing aid functionality should that test sense mild to moderate hearing loss. Apple has approval for the AirPods Pro 2 to function as an over-the-counter hearing aid in the United States. The hearing aid capabilities will boost conversations and other environmental sounds for those who have hearing loss issues. The update also includes a Hearing Protection feature that will continuously monitor the wearer's environment to reduce the impact of loud sounds. This functionality will be limited to the U.S. and Canada at launch. Hearing Health will be introduced in iOS 18.1, which is set to be released next Monday. Apple doesn't have a way to manually upgrade AirPods software, but firmware is generally installed over-the-air when the AirPods are in a charging case and connected to an iOS device or Mac.Related Roundup: AirPods ProBuyer's Guide: AirPods Pro (Neutral)Related Forum: AirPodsThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums06:29 pmNew AirPods Pro 2 firmware now available for iOS 18.1’s hearing health features

Macworld We know Black Friday is still weeks away, but this M2 MacBook Air deal looks like it might have been pushed early. Why? Because we’ve never seen this laptop down to $700 before. Yes, you read that right. The M2 MacBook Air is down to $699.99 at Amazon, its best price yet, and a solid 30 percent discount. Unsurprisingly, the M2 MacBook Air is easily one of our favorite models, earning a near-perfect score following our review and even our Editors’ Choice award. Our review praised the improved display and the thin bezels, as well as the killer battery life. “That wasn’t quite our experience, but it’s close. With the display set at 150 nits and playing back a movie on an endless loop in the TV app, our battery lasted 17.5 hours—very close enough to Apple’s 18-hour claim,” the review reads. This 13.6-inch laptop features a Liquid Retina Display with vivid colors and deep contrast, as well as a 256GB SSD so you can store all your personal files and have plenty of room to install apps. And the M2 chip will ensure you have speedy performance and quick loading times, as well as Apple Intelligence support with macOS 15.1 coming next week.

Private Cloud Compute is a cloud intelligence system that Apple designed for private artificial intelligence processing, and it's what Apple is using to keep Apple Intelligence requests secure when they need to be processed in the cloud. Apple promised to allow security and privacy researchers to verify the end-to-end security and privacy promises that Apple made with Private Cloud Compute, and today, Apple made its Private Cloud Compute Virtual Research Environment (VRE) and other materials publicly available to all security researchers. Apple has a Private Cloud Compute (PCC) Security Guide that details all of the components of PCC and how they work to provide privacy for cloud-based AI processing. Apple released the source code for select components of PCC that help implement its security and privacy requirements, which allows for a deeper dive into PCC. The Virtual Research Environment is a set of tools that lets researchers perform their own security analysis on PCC using a Mac. The VRE can be used for inspecting PCC software releases, verifying the consistency of the transparency log, booting a release in a virtualized environment, and modifying and debugging PCC software for deeper investigation. The VRE can be accessed in the macOS 18.1 Developer Preview and can be used with a Mac that has an Apple silicon chip and 16GB+ unified memory. Along with these tools, Apple is expanding its Apple Security Bounty to include rewards for vulnerabilities that demonstrate a compromise of the fundamental privacy and security guarantees of Private Cloud Compute.

Apple's marketing chief Greg Joswiak today teased that the company has an "exciting week of announcements" planned next week. Joswiak said to "Mac" your calendars, and the post includes an animated icon for the Finder app on the Mac, so it is clear that at least some of next week's announcements will be related to the Mac. Subscribe to MacRumors on YouTube for more videos! Below, we have recapped what to expect from Apple's announcements next week. Hardware MacBook Pro Apple is expected to announce new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, including an entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M4 chip, and higher-end 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M4 Pro and M4 Max chips. No major external design changes have been rumored for the laptops this year, with improvements such as an OLED display and thinner design not expected until 2026 at the earliest. However, the entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro is expected to gain an additional Thunderbolt port compared to the current model, based on alleged leaks earlier this month. Those same leaks revealed that the MacBook Pro lineup might finally start with 16GB of RAM, instead of 8GB, which was rumored even before the leaks happened. Apple last redesigned the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro in 2021, and the latest models with the M3 family of chips were released last October. iMac The next iMac is expected to be equipped with the standard M4 chip, up from the M3 chip in the current model released a year ago. No major design changes have been rumored for Apple's all-in-one desktop computer this year. It is likely that the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID, Magic Mouse, and Magic Trackpad accessories that are included in the box with the iMac will finally feature USB-C ports, as part of Apple's transition away from Lightning. More on that below. Mac mini A concept of a smaller Mac mini The next Mac mini is expected to be available with M4 and M4 Pro chip options. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman expects the next Mac mini to be smaller, making it closer in size to an Apple TV, and he said that the computer will gain two front-facing USB-C ports. All in all, the Mac mini is expected to receive its biggest redesign since 2010. It is unclear if the next Mac mini will also start with 16GB of RAM, instead of the current 8GB. USB-C Magic Accessories MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris recently discovered code references to new versions of the Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad, and Magic Keyboard, and these accessories will likely switch from Lightning to USB-C for charging alongside the new iMac. In the EU, a regulation requiring USB-C as a common charging port goes into effect later this year. It is unclear if the accessories will have any other changes. Software iOS 18.1 With First Apple Intelligence Features and More Apple recently confirmed that new AirPods Pro 2 hearing health features will be available as part of iOS 18.1 next week, so there could be an announcement when the software update is released, especially since it also includes the first set of Apple Intelligence features for the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and all iPhone 16 models. Gurman said Apple has planned to release the update on Monday, October 28. The following other updates are expected to be widely released next week as well: iPadOS 18.1 macOS Sequoia 15.1 watchOS 11.1 tvOS 18.1 HomePod Software 18.1 visionOS 2.1 Earnings Apple will be discussing its earnings results for the fourth quarter of its 2024 fiscal year on Thursday, October 31 at 2 p.m. Pacific Time. That call will provide early insight into iPhone 16, Apple Watch Series 10, and AirPods 4 sales, and Apple will likely touch on some of its Mac-related announcements on the call too.Related Roundups: iMac, MacBook Pro, Mac miniTags: Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse, Magic TrackpadBuyer's Guide: iMac (Don't Buy), 14" & 16" MacBook Pro (Don't Buy), Mac Mini (Don't Buy)Related Forums: iMac, MacBook Pro, Mac miniThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums05:30 pmWoolnut sleeve wraps iPad Pro in luxurious pebbled leather [Updated Review]

Macworld We’ve been wondering if Apple will hold a traditional event for its upcoming Mac announcements or release products directly to the web, perhaps over the course of several days. A post from Greg Joswiak, Apple’s Senior VP of Worldwide Marketing, seems to confirm the latter and strongly hints at what will be announced. He says simply: “Mac (😉) your calendars! We have an exciting week of announcements ahead, starting on Monday morning. Stay tuned…” X / @gregjoz This seems to confirm that yes, there will be new Macs (as we all suspected) and no, there will not be a big Apple Event but rather several releases or news stories throughout the week. Notably, Monday, October 28 is the day when Apple releases iOS 18.1 and macOS 15.1, the first releases with Apple Intelligence, as well as the new Hearing Aid feature for AirPods Pro 2. While not a secret, the OSes will likely be part of the first day of Apple’s “exciting week of announcements.” We’re expecting several Macs to be announced, though the timing is unclear. There should be a new iMac with the M4 processor, a new MacBook Pro with M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chips, and a redesigned Mac mini with M4 and M4 Pro processors. The Mac mini, in particular, should be a big deal as it is expected to feature the first major product redesign in years.04:52 pmApple October Mac event is on… sort of

Macworld The U.S. investment bank TD Cowen has published a report (via AppleInsider) breaking down the individual parts of the iPhone 16 handsets and analyzing their respective costs. This bill of materials, or BOM, reveals the device’s pure manufacturing costs. (There are obviously other expenses, from R&D to marketing and shipping. But this is how much it costs to make.) Read on to educate yourself. With this knowledge you can amaze your Android-using friends and, who knows, perhaps even convince them to switch to the iPhone. Well, probably not. But at least you’ve put the facts on the table. iPhone 16 costs more than iPhone 15… but not by much The Japanese daily newspaper Nikkei, which we quoted [translation] last year when discussing the manufacturing costs of the iPhone 15, was surprised at the time that significant increases in production costs had not caused the sale price to go up. The paper predicted that Apple would have to raise prices when it launched the iPhone 16… but fortunately, the authors were wrong with this prediction. As we now know, Apple is sticking to the same price for another year. This is despite the fact that production costs have risen again, albeit only marginally. For example, from $395 for the standard iPhone 15 to $416 for the iPhone 16: an increase of $21 or 5 percent. The single largest expense in the BOM is the display at $65. But the largest relative cost increase is the RAM, which to support Apple Intelligence has been bumped from 6GB to 8GB–and this means a whopping 89 percent price rise, from $9 to $17. The jump from the A16 to the A18 chip, meanwhile costs an extra $10, and the new controls (Camera Control and the Action button) only $3 in total. And several components have actually gone down in price, including the display, which cost $3 more in the previous generation. Here’s how the costs shake out for the standard models this year and last year: Material costs for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 15.TD Cowen What about the iPhone 16 Pro Max? The iPhone 16 Pro Max also costs more to manufacture than its immediate predecessor, but again the increases are manageable. First place in the list of costs is shared by the rear camera and the display, at $80 each, while RAM is again the largest relative increase. It’s gone up by 41 percent, from $12 to $17, even though the amount of RAM hasn’t gone up; the 15 Pro Max also came with 8GB. Rather, the price rise this year is due to the technology: LPDDR5 was used in the 15 Pro Max whereas the faster LPDDR5X appears in the 16 Pro Max. TD Cowen Overall, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is $32 more expensive to manufacture than the iPhone 15 Pro Max, with TD Cowen attributing 40 percent of this to inflation and 60 percent to new components. How reliable are these numbers? Before you rush off to boast about Apple’s generosity in keeping prices level despite rising costs, a word of warning: not everyone agrees on the numbers. In fact, TD Cowen’s estimates differ significantly from those made by Nikkei and Fomalhaut Techno Solutions. For example, Nikkei and Fomalhaut estimate the display in the iPhone 15 Pro Max at $115, compared to TD Cowen’s $75. The difference is even greater for the chip: TD Cowen estimates $40, Nikkei a whopping $130. Overall, Nikkei’s estimate for the iPhone 15 Pro Max is 23 percent higher than TD Cowen’s. The disparity is probably due to the different backgrounds of the companies: TD Cowen is an investment bank, while Fomalhaut Techno Solutions specializes in taking apart electronics, tracing the individual components back to their manufacturers, and then estimating their price.04:38 pmApple is readied for an entire week of M4 Mac announcements

We are expecting new models of the Mac mini, iMac, and MacBook Pro. The iMac, entry-level Mac mini, and entry-level MacBook Pro will all include the M4 chip, which we actually already got earlier this year in the iPad Pro models. Higher-end MacBook Pro models will use M4 Pro and M4 Max chips, while the Mac mini will also get the M4 Pro. We aren't expecting design changes for the iMac or MacBook Pro, but the Mac mini is rumored to be smaller, closer in size to the Apple TV. With the decrease in size, it could be a bit thicker. For all entry-level models, rumors suggest RAM is going to start at 16GB instead of 8GB, providing better performance for Apple Intelligence features.

The high-end iPhone 17 Pro Max launching next year will feature a smaller Dynamic Island, according to technology analyst Jeff Pu, who has a fairly good track record with Apple rumors. This reiterates information that he first shared in May. In a research note with investment bank Haitong International earlier this month, obtained by MacRumors, Pu said the iPhone 17 Pro Max will adopt a "metalens" for Face ID that results in a "much narrowed" Dynamic Island on the device. He does not expect this change to apply to the smaller iPhone 17 Pro, or any other iPhone 17 models. While a traditional iPhone camera has curved lenses that redirect light towards the image sensor, a metalens is a thin and flat lens with microscopic patterns etched onto it that can focus light more precisely. In his research note this month, Pu did not provide any specific details about how Apple plans to use a metalens for the Face ID system, nor did he explain how the change would result in a narrower Dynamic Island. Apple introduced the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 14 Pro models in 2022, and it is also available on all iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 models. Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 series next September, and more details about this metalens may surface over the coming months.Related Roundup: iPhone 17Tag: Jeff PuThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums03:45 pmDeals: M3 MacBook Air $249 off, M2 $399 off, 42mm Apple Watch Series 10 at new $370 low, leather bands, more | 9 to 5 MacDeals: M3 MacBook Air $249 off, M2 $399 off, 42mm Apple Watch Series 10 at new $370 low, leather bands, more

Macworld At a glanceExpert's Rating Pros Easy to use PDF and signature functionality Cons Disappointing free tier Paper app isn’t as good as rivals Our Verdict The app that kickstarted the cloud storage arms race, Dropbox has fallen from grace as others have usurped it. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Price When ReviewedFree (2GB), $9.99 a month for a year (2TB, $119.88 paid up front), $11.99 a month (2TB, paid monthly) Best Prices Today: Dropbox Retailer Price Dropbox (monthly) $9.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket When considering the best cloud-based storage services for your Mac, it’s impossible not to think of Dropbox. In many ways the granddaddy of them all. Dropbox grew to be a market leader but has since been overtaken by options like Google Drive and OneDrive. It’s not that it’s a bad service. Dropbox remains a reliable way to sync data and files to the cloud, and its Mac app has gotten much more performative after some years where it was relatively sluggish. It just doesn’t offer any must-have features and rivals have much more generous free tiers. First Impressions Dropbox nestles into Finder like it’s supposed to have been there all along. Dropbox Given I chastised Apple’s iCloud for its 5GB limit for free users, Dropbox’s paltry 2GB starting offering feels so far behind the likes of Google with its 15GB of Google Drive space. The next plan up from there jumps to $11.99/£9.99 per month (billed monthly), or $9.99/£7.99 a month if you pay for a year upfront. While that’s about on par with what others charge for 2TB of space, it’s a shame there aren’t any tiers in between. There are business focused plans for 3TB and 9TB but these seem extortionaltly priced compared to the competition. Still, pricing aside, Dropbox is an easy app to install and start using thanks to the same Finder functionality you’ll find in its contemporaries, meaning it’s easy to drag and drop files between devices. Dropbox features PDF signing is a breeze with Dropbox. Dropbox While many cloud services offer menu bar apps within macOS, Dropbox’s is a sizeable drop-down window so you can see more information about recently uploaded and updated files, and I really appreciated the way I could look at what was uploading more quickly than I could on alternative services. Uploads also feel pretty snappy, and the fact it’s been around for so long means it has the kind of app integrations that will make other options jealous. One of my favorite features is PDF signing, which lets you throw a file to someone, get a signature, and get it back without opening it up to deeper edits. Dropbox annoyances Dropbox’s web view feels a little cluttered. Dropbox Aside from being pricier than its rivals and lacking in storage options at the low-end, Dropbox just doesn’t feel as straightforward to use as many other cloud storage services. It certainly feels closer to something like OneDrive, with a whole host of options close to hand. That’ll delight some, but for others it’ll feel like a cluttered mess. The Bottom Line Fast upload speeds and a handy menu bar item aside, Dropbox is too expensive and oftentimes too complex to recommend for anyone other than longtime users that have built workflows around it.03:01 pmApple CEO Cook says company will increase investment in China

Starting with iOS 18.2, children in Australia have a new option to report iMessages containing nude photos and videos to Apple, the company told The Guardian. Apple said it will review these reports and could take action, such as by disabling the sender's Apple Account and/or reporting the incident to law enforcement. The report outlined what these reports will include:The device will prepare a report containing the images or videos, as well as messages sent immediately before and after the image or video. It will include the contact information from both accounts, and users can fill out a form describing what happened.The feature comes after Australia introduced new rules that will require tech companies like Apple to take stronger measures to combat child sexual abuse material (CSAM) on their platforms by the end of 2024, according to the report. Apple said it plans to make this feature available globally in the future, according to the report, but no timeframe was provided. This is an extension of Apple's existing Communication Safety feature for iMessage, which launched in the U.S. with iOS 15.2 in 2021. With the release of iOS 17 last year, Apple expanded the feature worldwide and enabled it by default for children who are under the age of 13, signed in to their Apple Account, and part of a Family Sharing group. Communication Safety is designed to warn children when they receive or send iMessages containing nudity, and Apple ensures that the feature relies entirely on on-device processing as a privacy protection. The feature also applies to AirDrop content, FaceTime video messages, and Contact Posters in the Phone app. Parents can turn off the feature on their child's device in the Settings app under Screen Time if they wish to. The nudity reporting option comes after Apple in 2022 abandoned its controversial plans to detect known CSAM stored in iCloud Photos. The first iOS 18.2 beta was released yesterday for devices with Apple Intelligence support, including iPhone 15 Pro models and all iPhone 16 models. The software update is expected to be widely released to the public in December.Related Roundups: iOS 18, iPadOS 18Related Forums: iOS 18, iPadOS 18This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums02:30 pmNow’s the time to score big with M2 and M3 MacBook Air deals

The next iPad mini will feature an OLED display, display industry analyst Ross Young said in a social media post on Wednesday. "Next iPad Mini will have an OLED," he said, succinctly. Compared to the iPad mini 7 and previous models of the device, which have LCD displays, benefits of OLED technology should include increased brightness, higher contrast ratio with deeper blacks, improved power efficiency for longer battery life, and more. Given the iPad mini 7 just launched this week, it could take at least a few more years before the iPad mini 8 is released. While the iPad mini was updated on an annual basis between 2012 and 2015, the device has only been updated three times since then, including in March 2019, September 2021, and this month. Apple has been gradually transitioning its products to OLED displays, including the iPad Pro earlier this year, so it would make sense for the iPad mini to eventually follow suit. Plus, an iPad mini with an OLED display has already been rumored previously, so it looks increasingly likely that such a device is on Apple's roadmap. Other devices rumored to get an OLED display include a new iPhone SE next year, followed by the iPad Air and MacBook Pro in a few years from now. Young is the CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants, and he has a mostly-accurate track record with display-related information for future Apple products.

Apple will allow third-party browsers in the European Union to create web apps for the iPhone Home Screen using their own custom engines when iOS 18.2 launches later this year. This expands on changes introduced in iOS 17.4, which first allowed third-party browsers in the EU to use non-WebKit engines for both standalone browsers and in-app browsing. Previously, Apple required all iOS browsers to use Safari's WebKit engine, including popular options like Chrome and Firefox. According to new documentation on Apple's developer website spotted by 9to5Mac, the upcoming API will be exclusive to the EU and enable web apps to use the same custom engine as their parent browser. The change follows Apple's reversal of an earlier decision to remove web app support entirely from EU devices – a move that prompted scrutiny from the European Commission. However, despite Apple announcing support for alternative browser engines like Chrome's Blink and Firefox's Gecko in January, these have yet to appear on iPhones. iOS 18.2 will bring additional EU-specific changes, including the ability to completely remove core apps like the App Store, Safari, Messages, Camera, and Photos. Outside the EU, the update will introduce new Apple Intelligence features such as ChatGPT integration with Siri, Image Playground, custom Genmoji, Visual Intelligence, enhanced Writing Tools, and expanded language support.

Macworld According to the latest rumors, Apple will release its first M4 Macs next week. Among the new models, which include a redesigned Mac mini, will be the first refresh to the entry-level MacBook Pro released next year. Normally, such an update would be nothing more than a chip upgrade from the M3 to the M4. But a series of reports claim that there will be more to this update–and could make the 14-inch base model a near-perfect laptop for just about everyone. The first report was by leaker VNChocoTaco on X, who posted a photo they received of the box label for the new MacBook Pro revealing key specs. The second report is from Russian YouTuber Wylsacom, who apparently got their hands on the M4 MacBook Pro, laptop and all. If the information in these two reports holds up, and it would be a very elaborate hoax if it doesn’t, we could be seeing some big changes in the base M4 MacBook Pro. Here’s what’s being reported and what it could mean. Memory that serves us right The current base M3 14-inch MacBook Pro has one glaring problem: It has only 8GB of unified memory. Apple will tell you that’s more than enough and 8GB is useable and for many buyers that’s probably true. But considering how much RAM higher-end software uses nowadays, 8GB in a “Pro” laptop is not enough. Still not convinced? How about this: The MacBook Air, Apple’s “consumer” laptop, the laptop for “everyone else,” also starts at 8GB of memory. The MacBook Pro is supposed to be the workstation laptop for, as the name says, the “Pro.” The other models all start at 18GB—does 8GB seem proper for a MacBook that costs $1,599? Both reports by VNChocoTaco and Wylsacom show what appears to be a specifications label from the base M3 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro, that shows a laptop with 16GB of memory. Assuming the model isn’t a higher-end configuration, that would mean Apple is finally addressing the biggest flaw of the entry-level Pro. With 16GB of RAM, pro users will be able to run their apps and feel comfortable about the laptop’s performance–they may still need more and upgrade to 24GB or more, and even then, it won’t be as expensive as starting from a standard configuration is 8GB. Bringing the Thunder(bolt) VNChocoTaco’s photo is low resolution and much of the text is garbled, but it seems to show that the 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro will have three Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports. Wylsacom’s label says the same and he shows off the laptop’s three ports in his video. This seems to indicate that Apple is adding one more Thunderbolt/USB 4 to the base M4 model. This would put the laptop in line with the higher-end MacBook Pro models with Pro and Max chips; it would no longer have the same two ports as the MacBook Air, another step toward making it an actual “Pro” laptop. Space Black for the masses When Apple introduced the M3 MacBook Pro, it revealed a new Space Black color option available only on the M3 Pro or M3 Max models. According to these reports, Apple is going to make Space Black an option on the base model, too. I’m currently using a Space Black MacBook Pro, and my first impression of the color was that it was nice, but it should be darker. But after having used the laptop for nearly a year now, I love Space Black and it’s now my color of choice. If it’s coming to the M4 MacBook Pro, it’s going to be a popular choice—and put the entry-level model on par with the others. Finally, a true entry-level MacBook Pro There are other specs revealed by these reports, such as the M4’s 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, and the same starting 512GB SSD. But the three changes above are going to make the base M4 MacBook Pro a popular laptop–especially if Apple keeps the price at $1,599. It would be the first time in a long time that buying the least-expensive MacBook Pro didn’t mean you had to make a significant compromise, such as the 8GB of RAM, fewer ports, hampered performance, or even an old design, as was the case when Apple kept the 13-inch MacBook Pro with the Touch Bar around after the Apple silicon redesign was announced. If and then this MacBook Pro does ship, it will fit right in with the M4 Pro and M4 Max models in the lineup and give users a real choice, rather than force them to the upper models due to cut-rate specs. Apple will sell a lot of them. Apple is expected to announce M4 MacBook Pro and other M4 Macs sometime next week for delivery on November 1.

Apple could use the LTP03 display technology that debuted in the Apple Watch Series 10 to improve power efficiency and display performance in future iPhone models, industry watchers believe (via The Elec). LTPO refers to a TFT panel that adds oxide to a Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Silicon (LTPS) TFT, which reduces power consumption at low refresh rates. Apple applied the name "LTPO3" to the OLED displays used in the recently released Apple Watch 10 series to differentiate it from the LTPO2 displays currently used in Apple Watch Series 9 and iPhone 16 Pro models, as it replaces the drive TFT (thin-film transistor) with a more efficient oxide-based version. The technology enables Apple to optimize each pixel to emit more light at wider angles. As a result, the Apple Watch Series 10 display is up to 40 percent brighter than Series 9 when viewed off-axis. LPTO3 also enables a faster refresh rate when the Apple Watch is in always-on mode, going from once a minute to once a second. As a result, users can now see a ticking seconds hand without raising their wrist on select watch faces. Given that the drive TFT directly controls the current that makes the OLED pixels emit light, future iPhones with LTPO3 could see meaningful improvements in battery life and viewing angles. Industry sources indicate that Samsung Display is preparing to develop LTPO3 OLED panels that could potentially be for future iPhone models. However, next year's iPhone 17 series is expected to continue using LTPO2 technology while expanding its adoption across all models, not just the Pro devices. 10 Reasons to Wait for Next Year's iPhone 17 Apple has historically tested new display technologies in the Apple Watch before bringing them to the iPhone. For example, the original LTPO displays that debuted in the Apple Watch Series 4 eventually appeared in the iPhone 13 Pro series three years later. If and when LPTO3 could make its way to the iPhone, however, remains unclear at this time.Tag: The ElecThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums10:40 amCloudflare configuration delays

Macworld I love to use my Apple products to set timers, usually while cooking. I use my Apple Watch for this all the time, raising my messy hands up to tell Siri to start a timer. My HomePod is another favorite, for the same reason–when I’m cooking, touching my phone means getting gunk all over it. I have a Nest Hub in the kitchen, and that’s my go-to for timers for two reasons. One, it has a display so it’s really useful to glance over and see how much time is left (a situation my Apple Watch also solves, but not easily with multiple timers going). But the other reason I like to use Google’s product to manage timers is that it offers a dead-simple, table-stakes feature that Apple still hasn’t provided after all these years: the ability to add time to a timer. How did Apple miss this? The year is 2018 and Apple is about to release the original HomePod. In the press tour, we’re given the rundown of its capabilities in each room of a rental house: playing music in the bedroom, triggering the kettle in the kitchen, playing music in the living room… (playing music was a big part of the pitch). In the kitchen demo, when setting a timer, I ask about multiple-timer support. It’s something I use all the time, after all. I need to put the pasta in the water in 10 minutes, the bread will be done in 12, and the roast vegetables in 15. The Apple rep looked at me as though she was expecting the question. I got a well-prepared, PR-speak answer about how it’s “not available at this time,” which is always a fun way to say that a product doesn’t have a feature. Apple eventually corrected this oversight in a software update about six months later, making HomePod the only Apple product with multiple timer support for five years until iOS 17 and macOS 14.2 (it didn’t even make it into the initial macOS 14 release). I remember thinking: How does this product that’s by far more expensive than its competitors, not have this fundamental feature? Didn’t you have a bunch of Apple employees test this before release? Wouldn’t a bunch of them mention the inability to set more than one timer, and how every competing product (Alexa and Google Home products) provides this common, useful, simple feature? We all knew a smart speaker from Apple would be hamstrung by Siri’s deficiencies (it was far behind the competition in 2018), but it’s not as if setting multiple timers is reliant on AI. I just want to add time to a timer! Here we go again… My roast veggies have 5 minutes left on the timer, but when I check on them, they’re definitely going to need a little more time. With my Nest Hub, I can just say “Hey Google, add 4 minutes to the timer” and I’m done. With any Apple product, whether I’m using Siri or the screen, I have to either wait for the timer to finish and then start a new 4-minute timer or cancel my current timer and make a new 9-minute one. It’s a pain, especially when I’ve got several timers going in a kitchen bustling with activity. Alexa and Google Assistant have had this figured out for years. Google even has a quick “Add one minute” button right there at the top level of the timer interface in its default Clock app. It’s the equivalent of the “add 30 seconds” button on a microwave, and just as useful. It’s something we’ve all done since before the days of digital timers by simply picking up the egg timer and cranking the dial to adjust the remaining time. Let’s get this done, Apple. This could easily be part of iOS 18.2. You already have the ability to set multiple timers and give them names, simply adding an arbitrary amount of time to one can’t possibly be more than one week of development work for a single engineer. If you had three or four people working on it you could even give us the handy “add a minute” button in the clock interface.10:08 amFacebook Lead Ads returns hydration errors

Macworld Expanding its use of low-flying satellites for models of iPhone starting with the iPhone 14, Apple added Messages to the set of available features with the release of iOS 18. But there are a lot of footnotes as to how it works when you’re away from cellular and Wi-Fi networks that can require careful preparation if you want to rely on the service. Messages via satellite is bidirectional: once you connect to a satellite (using the on-device assistant in Messages or via Control Center’s network > Satellite menu) you can send and receive messages. Other people can also initiate messages to you as soon as you’re online in the right circumstances. With an iPhone 14 or later and iOS 18, swipe to reveal Control Center, tap the Cellular pane’s icon at right, and then tap Satellite > Try Demo to see all the options and perform a dry run of connecting.Foundry Advance requirements You have to enable iMessage while still on a Wi-Fi or cellular network and must have a SIM card with an active cell service plan. Messages via satellite leans on the cellular network for its features. For now, you can use Messages via satellite only within the United States and Canada, although models sold worldwide and used in those countries by residents (people with a local cell plan) or visitors (people roaming on other plans) will work. (The only exception is that iPhones sold in Armenia, Belarus, mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao, Kazakhstan, and Russia lack satellite features.) If you plan to use iMessage with someone, you must have “recently” exchanged messages with them using iMessage. Apple doesn’t define what that means. In testing with a friend who went off the grid and with whom I hadn’t exchanged an iMessage in a yea (we use Slack and other methods) I only saw SMS. However, when I replied, it appeared initially to send via iMessage before reverting to SMS for subsequent messages. When iMessage is used Apple creates an iMessage connection between an iPhone that’s using the satellite connection and an iPhone running iOS 18.0 or later. The recipient has to have an iPhone to receive the messages, even though iMessage should work on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac. We have to assume there’s a phone-network component in setting up the connection that requires an iPhone to be part of the mix. Your iPhone alerts you when Messages via satellite is available. Tap to connect to a satellite.Apple If the receiving iPhone isn’t running iOS 18.0 or later, the sending phone transmits messages via standard SMS text messaging. (I have heard from colleagues that they have seen iMessage work with 17.6, but Apple’s documentation says 18.0 or later is required.) A limited set of iMessage features are supported: You can send and receive text, but no photos, stickers, or audio messages, and all connections are one-to-one—no group iMessage communication. People can reply to you by sending a message and then tapping a Send via Satellite link. Messages sent this way have a dotted blue outline until transmitted. Your iPhone helps keep you connected (left). At right, a recipient receives cues in your conversation, such as a Send via Satellite link to send their iMessage.Foundry When SMS is used If a recipient has a non-Apple device or an iPhone that’s not yet running 18.0 or later, Messages reverts to SMS messaging. People can reply via SMS if they are either using a non-Apple device or have iOS 17.6 or later installed. For some reason, people with an iPhone with iOS 17.5 or earlier cannot reply. Messages via SMS are queued if the person using a satellite is temporarily unavailable. They’re then delivered later, either via the satellite or cellular network. Let others initiate a message to you Apple allows a limited set of people to message you when you have satellite connectivity before you reach out to them. They have to be part of your Family Sharing group or listed in your emergency contacts. Make sure you’ve added the appropriate people before you leave a regular coverage area. People in those categories can text you using SMS whenever you’re connected via satellite. If they qualify to use iMessage, the conversation should “upgrade” to iMessage after you reply.
