Fans of new Apple TV series Pluribus can download a chapter of historical (and fictional) romance novel "Bloodsong of Wycaro" from the Apple Books app today. Written by Pluribus main character Carol Sturka, Bloodsong of Wycaro recounts the adventures of Lucasia as she sails on the Mercator, dreaming of her lost love Raban. Played by Rhea Seehorn, Carol Sturka is a fantasy romance author who hates writing non-serious books and can't stand the fans obsessed with her characters, but the Winds of Wycaro series pays the bills. Bloodsong of Wycaro plays an important role in the first two episodes of Pluribus, and Apple is using the fake book excerpt to promote the show. The excerpt features eight pages from the middle of Carol's book, along with a letter from the author. The first two episodes of Pluribus debuted on November 7, and the third episode is available as of today. It is the latest Apple TV series, created by Breaking Bad's Vince Gilligan. In the series, Carol Sturka is one of the sole survivors of a mysterious virus that infects the world's population. Pluribus can be watched on Apple TV, Apple's streaming service. Apple TV pricing starts at $12.99 per month, but there is a free 7-day trial available.Tag: Apple TV PlusThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums06:23 pmLinode API, Cloud Manager Scheduled Maintenance

Macworld There are thousands of old aluminum iMacs sitting around the world, doing nothing (the one in Macworld’s Podcast studio comes to mind, replaced by a newer M4 iMac). A lot of those old iMacs have perfectly good, even great, displays, and wouldn’t it be cool if you could use them as a standalone monitor for that brand new M5 MacBook Pro you just bought? That’s what Quinn Nelson at Snazzy Labs thought, and he made it happen–he turned an old aluminum iMac into what he calls a “Studio Display” for a Mac. Being the YouTuber that he is, he posted about the project on the Snazzy Labs channel. Now, before you get all excited, start clearing space on your desk and dig out that old iMac of storage while proclaiming, “Let’s do this!” you should know that this isn’t a simple plug-and-play project. It took Nelson a month’s worth of planning, research, shopping, and labor to get it done. Since he wanted to use the old iMac just as a display, he gutted it and installed several hardware components to make it work as such. For example, he had to decide which driver board to use that would provide the resolution, refresh rate, and power that’s required. And he designed plastic support brackets and used a 3D printer to make them. After a lot of disassembling, splicing, soldering, crimping, hole-cutting, power testing, reassembling, and other handiwork, Nelson got a working 5K display that he’s very pleased with and spent less than the $1,599 it would cost for a new Apple Studio Display–yes time does equal money, but he did get a very cool video out of it. And you can reward him for some of that time by watching the video above. If this sounds like a project for you, the Snazzy Labs video is an excellent reference source. As Nelson points out in the video, “information online is scarce or simply wrong” on how to do this, and Snazzy Labs provides great insight. Give it a watch.05:56 pmBelkin Recalls Auto-Tracking Stand Pro and Two Power Banks Due to Fire Risk
Popular iPhone accessory maker Belkin has issued a recall for three of its products, including the Belkin Auto-Tracking Stand Pro, the Belkin BoostCharge USB-C PD Power Bank 20K, and the Playa USB-C PD Power Bank 20K. The Auto-Tracking Stand Pro has a model number of MMA008, the BoostCharge Power Bank has a model number of BPB2002, and the Playa Power bank has a PB0003 model number. Model numbers are located on the back or side of each product. The charging stand and both power banks were sold in black, while the Playa model was also available in white. Affected devices were sold on the Belkin website and through third-party retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Target, and Best Buy. Belkin says that a manufacturing defect can cause the lithium-cell batteries in the devices to overheat, resulting in fire and burn hazards to customers. The recall is also listed on the Consumer Product Safety Commission website. There were approximately 83,500 units sold in the U.S., along with 2,385 in Canada, but the CPSC does not include international sales. There has been one report of a fire in the United States, and 15 reports internationally. Two people received minor burn injuries, and property damage totaling $37,765 was reported outside the U.S. Customers who own an affected model should stop using the protect, disconnect it from power, and contact Belkin. The devices should be kept in a safe, dry location away from anything flammable or anything that can damage the power bank, and they should not be placed in waste or recycling bins. Belkin is offering full refunds or store credit, and is asking for copies of receipts and proof of ownership. An image of the product showing its serial number is required, and if a receipt is provided, the purchase price on the receipt will be refunded. If no receipt is available, Belkin will offer the average sales price for the model. Customers can also opt for a Belkin store credit worth 20 percent more than the average sales price of the device.Tag: BelkinThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums05:35 pmApple’s most controversial product in years is a huge hit

Macworld Verdict: The MacBook Air is the more affordable option, suitable for everyday tasks, while the MacBook Pro offers superior performance and features, making it ideal for more demanding users. Apple’s most popular Mac laptop is the MacBook Air, which offers a great combination of features for the typical user, but there is another MacBook to consider is you are looking for the best MacBook – the more powerful MacBook Pro. In this article, we aim to help those who want to buy an Apple laptop, but aren’t sure what the difference between the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro is and whether the cheaper Air can be as good as the Pro. We’ll explain the advantages and disadvantages of buying a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, we’ll discuss what makes the MacBook Air so popular, and we’ll talk about which uses each Mac laptop is best suited to. We’ll also look in depth at the various specs and features of the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, so you can see how the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro compare in terms of price, display, design, processor, graphics, storage, RAM, ports, battery life and more. We discuss these elements and the other differences between the MacBook Air and Pro in the article. What is the difference between the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro? The MacBook Air and MacBook Pro cater to different user needs, with the Air being a more budget-friendly and portable option for general use, and the Pro designed for users requiring higher performance and advanced features. These differences encompass processing power, thermal management, display quality, and port selection. The MacBook Air is ideal for general-purpose users, students, and those who prioritize portability and affordability, while the MacBook Pro is better suited for demanding users, professionals, and creatives who require superior performance. The MacBook Pro features a superior display compared to the MacBook Air, with differences in pixel density, brightness, and refresh rates. The MacBook Pro, equipped with a fan, can sustain high performance during intensive tasks like video editing or code compilation, whereas the fanless MacBook Air may throttle to maintain temperature during prolonged heavy processing. The MacBook Air models generally offer up to 18 hours battery life, while the 14-inch MacBook Pro models extend this to 24 hours. MacBook Pro models also offer more extensive port selections, including HDMI and SDXC card slots, in addition to Thunderbolt ports, while MacBook Air models only offer Thunderbolt/USB4 ports and a MagSafe charging port. MacBook Air vs MacBook Pro Compared: Which MacBook is best? The question of which MacBook is best depends on what you need. The ultimate and most powerful MacBook is the M4 Max powered MacBook Pro, but that will be overpowered and prohibitively expensive to most people. The best value MacBook is the MacBook Air, and it’s not surprising that it is the most popular Mac, but there are reasons to consider the entry-level MacBook Pro, which has a slightly higher price, but is better suited to demanding users than the Air. Right now, while we wait for Apple to update the MacBook Air with an M5 chip, we are recommending the M5 MacBook Pro as the best MacBook for most because it offers such a tremendous combination of price, performance, and features. However, if you need something with a bit more oomph then the M4 Pro or M4 Max MacBook Pro will be a better option. Apple 14-inch MacBook Pro, M5 – Best MacBook for most people Pros All MacBook Pro models have superior display Excellent battery life Cons Price appears very high compared to Air Price When Reviewed: $1,599 Best Prices Today: Retailer Price $1,479 View Deal $1540.15 View Deal $1549 View Deal $1599 View Deal $1599 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide View more prices Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket Who is the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 for? The MacBook Pro covers some wide ground in terms of what’s offered and hence will meet the needs of many very different users. At the entry-level is the M5 MacBook Pro, which is more comparable to the MacBook Air than the powerful M4 Pro or M4 Max MacBook Pro that slot in further up the range. The M5 MacBook Pro is the Mac to choose if you need a little more oomph than the MacBook Air can give, but don’t have the money for a MacBook Pro with M4 Pro chip. The other major reasons to choose the M5 MacBook Pro over the Air are it’s significantly better screen, better battery life, and additional ports. If you need more power and have the budget, the M4 Pro or M4 Max models are the ones to choose, and we’ll discuss them in more detail later. What you need to know about the MacBook Pro with M5 The M5 MacBook Pro was introduced in October 2025 and offers the newest Apple processor with an updated GPU that is better equipped for AI than the M4 in its predecessor (and the MacBook Air). Prior to the M5 update, this MacBook Pro shared the same M4 processor as the MacBook Air that arrived in March 2025 and the machines had similar specs. However, while those specs looked similar on paper the two laptops were not identical, and now that the M5 has arrived the differences are even more pronounced. The most obvious indication that the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro are different beasts is the price: The 14-inch MacBook Pro starts at $1,599/£1,599. That’s $400/£400 more than the entry-level MacBook Air. But it would be incorrect to compare the $1,599 MacBook Pro with the $999 MacBook Air, which has half the storage and fewer processor cores. A better comparison is between the MacBook Pro M5 with 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 16GB memory, and a 512GB SSD, and the 13-inch MacBook Air with 512GB SSD for $1,199/£1,199. So in reality we are really talking about spending $400 more to get the 14-inch MacBook Pro. Add on a bigger screen with the 15-inch MacBook Air and the difference is even smaller: the 512GB 15-inch MacBook Air is $1,399. The price gap isn’t as big as you might think. The M5 is a very good reason to spend that extra money. But it’s not all you get. You get a Mac with a better display, better heat management, better battery life, better audio and more ports. All of those features may be well worth the extra expense when compared to the MacBook Air. We’ll discuss these differences in a lot more detail later in this article. There is also a lot more choice when it comes to the components of the MacBook Pro. The M5 models can support up to 32GB RAM, like the MacBook Air, but only the M5 can support 4TB storage, the Air is limited to 2TB.

The MacBook Air will more than meet the needs of the majority, with the added bonus that it’s lighter than the MacBook Pro making it ideal for anyone who needs to carry their Mac around, such as students and commuters. This is also the Mac cheapest Mac laptop you can buy, but you may be able to get it for even less than Apple sells it for – take a look at our round up of the Best MacBook Air deals. What you need to know about the MacBook Air, 13-inch The 13-inch M4 MacBook Air was last updated in March 2025. It is the cheapest MacBook Air you can buy, starting at $999/£999. For that you get an M4 chip with 10-core CPU, 8-core GPU, 16GB memory, and a 256GB SSD. Spend $200/£200 more and you can get a slightly better 10-core CPU plus double the storage, at 512GB. That $1,199/£1,199 model is our top choice as you get a better 10-core GPU and double the storage, and you will probably need that extra storage at some point. This model is also comparative to the similarly speced entry-level MacBook Pro, which costs $1,599/£1,599. So you can save $400 for similar spec, although as we explain in the section on the M5 MacBook Pro, there are a number of enhancements you only get with the MacBook Pro, such as a better display, better heat management, better battery life, better audio and more ports. For $1,399/£1,399 you can get more unified memory (Apple’s name for RAM): 24GB instead of 16GB, but you will probably be ok with 16GB RAM. Those are the standard configurations. There are more build-to-order options available that include 32GB unified memory, and 1TB or 2TB SSD. If you need a bigger screen there’s a 15-inch MacBook Air available, discussed elsewhere in this article. It is likely that the MacBook Air will gain an M5 in the spring of 2026 Read: M4 MacBook Air: Everything you need to know for more information.

If you want a bigger display on your laptop and budget doesn’t run to the MacBook Pro, the MacBook Air with 15-inch display will be sufficient. What you need to know about the MacBook Air, 15-inch The specs of the 15-inch MacBook Air may look comparable to the M5 MacBook Pro, but the Air misses out on some important features of the Pro which has a better screen, better battery life, and more ports. If those things don’t matter for you though then save your money and choose the 15-inch MacBook Air. The cheapest 15-inch MacBook Air you can buy starts at $1,199/£1,199. For that you get an M4 chip with 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 16GB memory, and a 256GB SSD. Note that the M5 MacBook Pro offers a 512GB SSD for $1,599/£1,599, the equivalent 15-inch MacBook Air costs $1,399/£1,399, so it’s only a $200 saving to get like-for-like. We think $200 is a fair price to pay for the benefits of the MacBook Pro, but it depends on your budget. Another thing to note is that even though the name of the MacBook Air was always meant to signify that it was a slim and light laptop, when you compare it to the MacBook Pro you might be surprised to learn that the 15-inch Air is only fractionally lighter (3.3 pounds vs 3.4 pounds). It is still thinner though (0.45in vs 0.61in) so it will slide into your bag with more ease. The M4 MacBook Air was introduced in March 2025. We expect that it will be updated to the M5 in spring 2026.

As we said at the beginning of this article, there are a lot of different MacBooks, especially when you look at the 14-inch MacBook Pro. We’ve discussed the MacBook Pro M5 separately, but the MacBook Pro with M4 Pro or M4 Max are for a completely different user. Mac users who need their Mac laptop to have significant processing power for demanding tasks will want to look at the M4 Pro or M4 Max-powered MacBook Pro. That’s professionals such as high-end video creators, digital artists and illustrators, programmers and designers, anyone needing more oomph than the standard M4 MacBook Pro offers. The M4 Max chip is even more powerful than the M4 Pro, and is for professionals such as media producers and software developers who require significant processing power for multitasking and demanding workloads. This chip provides more GPU cores and supports greater amounts of RAM than the M4 Pro. Once you have decided on the chip you need the next decision is between the 14-inch or 16-inch MacBook Pro. The 14-inch model will suite those who are frequently on the road and value portability, or at anyone who will be mostly working from an external monitor when at their desk. What you need to know about the 14-inch MacBook Pro, M4 Pro & Max? The most obvious difference between the M5 MacBook Pro and the M4 Pro and M4 Max versions is the processor. For clarity, while the M5 is the newest generation Apple chip, it is not better than the M4 Pro. For each generation, the Pro version of the Apple-made silicon supports more CPUs and more GPUs, more memory, and additional ports, like Thunderbolt 5, that aren’t yet supported at the entry-level. It used to be the case that only the Pro and Max versions offered the Pro Motion display, but this is no longer the case. The M4 Pro supports up to 48GB RAM and 20-core GPU, while the M4 Max supports up to 128GB RAM and a 40-core GPU. Only the Max supports a maximum of 8TB storage, compared to 4TB in the Pro. The M4 Pro does benefit from better battery life than the Max though (22 vs 18 hours). Expect the M5 Pro and Max to push even further forward when they launch, probably in spring 2026. Read: MacBook Pro M5 Pro & Max: Where are the Pro MacBooks? The only real disadvantage is that these models come with an exceptionally high price though, starting at $1,999/£1,999 for the M4 Pro and $3,199/£3,199 for the M4 Max. Apple 16-inch MacBook Pro, M4 Pro/Max – Ultimate Mac laptop Pros Excellent battery life Cons Update to M4 Pro and Max expected in first half of 2026 Very high price Price When Reviewed: $2,499 | $2,899 Best Prices Today: Retailer Price $2,199 View Deal $2218.09 View Deal $2249 View Deal $2499 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket Who is the 16-inch MacBook Pro for? The 16-inch MacBook Pro is the ultimate Mac, but it doesn’t offer better specs than the 14-inch MacBook Pro. All it offers is a bigger display and better battery life – both of which may be the most important factor in your decision. It’s an ideal Mac laptop for anyone who is always on the move and away from an external display. If you need a big screened powerful Mac you can use wherever you need to be, get the 16-inch MacBook Pro. Take a look at the Best Mac monitors and displays we have reviewed. What you need to know about the MacBook Pro, 16-inch Like the 14-inch model, the 16-inch MacBook Pro comes with M4 Pro or M4 Max chip, but unlike the 14-inch, there is no standard M4 option here. The entry price is a hefty $2,499/£2,499 for an M4 Pro with 14-core CPU, 20-core GPU, 24GB Unified Memory, and 512GB SSD. If you spec up an equivalent 14-inch model (using the build-to-order options for a 20-core GPU), it comes to $2,199/£2,199, suggesting that the larger screen has a $300 premium attached to it. However, it’s not only the screen size that is different. The bigger laptop allows for a bigger battery, and that means better battery life. The M4 Pro version of the 16-inch MacBook Pro offers 24 hours of battery life and the M4 Max version tops out at 21 hours. This is impressive, but the M5 14-inch MacBook Pro also manages 24 hours. The smaller Pro and Max battery life is 22 for the Pro and 18 for the Max.) The main consideration here being that the Max is more battery guzzling, but that’s a fair price to pay for that extra power. But, what are you getting for the extra money if you choose a 16-inch MacBook Pro over the 14-inch model? Other than the bigger screen and better battery life, there’s not really anything else. Read our full Apple 16-inch MacBook Pro (M4 Pro, 2024) review MacBook Air vs MacBook Pro price and value for money Since budget is often the main issue, we’ll start with price and how much you get for your money. With no ‘budget’ MacBook Pro available, the MacBook Air is the only option for those looking for a bargain. If you are looking for the cheapest option the $999/£999 MacBook Air would appear to be the clear winner. However, we recommend spending $200/£200 more to get the 10-core CPU/10-core GPU 512GB MacBook Air, which is worth every extra penny. The price of the MacBook Pro is higher, and on everyday tasks it performs the same as the MacBook Air, but it does offer better performance on long, CPU-intensive tasks, like image and video rendering and similar tasks. Not to mention the better screen, HDMI port, and SDXC Card slot, and more discussed below. At $200/£200 more than the 15-inch MacBook Air with M4 and the same 512GB SSD, it actually represents good value for money. MacBook Air vs MacBook Pro: Display comparison One of the biggest differences between the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro is the quality of the display. There is a lot more to separate the displays than diagonal measurements. 13-inch MacBook Air: 13.6 inches diagonal, 2,560 by 1,664 pixels 14-inch MacBook Pro: 14.2 inches diagonal, 3,024 by 1,964 pixels 15-inch MacBook Air: 15.3 inches diagonal, 2,880 by 1,864 pixels 16-inch MacBook Pro: 16.2-inches diagonal, 3,456 by 2,234 pixels You’ll notice from the above that there are significantly more pixels on the MacBook Pro screens – even when compared to a larger MacBook Air model. The MacBook Air has what Apple calls a Liquid Retina display. The MacBook Pro has a superior Liquid Retina XDR panel. The image quality is significantly better on the MacBook Pro. However, to the average person the screen quality of the MacBook Air will be more than sufficient. It’s not just fewer pixels though. Both Airs have a maximum brightness of 500 nits, which is half of the Pro’s 1,000 nits in normal use, or a third if you’re running HDR content at a max of 1,600 nits of which the MacBook Pro is capable. This is achieved by the Pro display incorporating mini-LEDs rather than the Air’s standard LCD screen. Perhaps the biggest difference though is that the Pro features ProMotion, meaning that the refresh rate tops out at 120Hz, again double that of the Air’s 60Hz refresh rate. This helps keep scrolling and animations smooth and crisp. Any of these displays will be great for everyday use and long hours of work, but the Pro has the edge when it comes to features. And there is more. With the M4 MacBook Pro, Apple introduced a nano-texture glass option that has a matte-like finish for $150. This option is not available on the MacBook Air, and if you need to cut down the glare from the display, it’s a feature to consider. All of this is moot if you will plug your Mac into a display, of course, in which case you can buy a display that offers you the screen quality you need. 15-inch MacBook Air (left) and 14-inch MacBook Pro.Foundry MacBook Air vs MacBook Pro: Performance Difference There’s a reason why there is a “Pro” in the name. The MacBook Pro is better suited to pro users, by which we mean creative professionals, graphic designers, photographers, film makers, 3D animators, programmers, and so on. A MacBook Air would be more than sufficient for home users, students, and office workers, but as soon as you start to push it with something more demanding, like movie editing software, or a computer game, you might find it heats up and slows down a bit, at least in comparison to how a MacBook Pro would deal with the dame demands. That’s why we tend to recommend the MacBook Air to those who go beyond the typical user. Despite this, if you are upgrading an old computer, the MacBook Air will feel super speedy whatever you are doing with it. We have the data below to show just how much better MacBook Pro performance is compared to the MacBook Air. The chart below shows the Geekbench results for the various processors.05:10 pmStanford’s CS193p (Spring 2025) on iOS Development with SwiftUI is Here! | Reddit on iOS ProgrammingStanford’s CS193p (Spring 2025) on iOS Development with SwiftUI is Here!

Macworld Whoa, now that’s a Black Friday deal! Apple’s super handy AirTags are now cheaper than ever as they drop to $18 a piece, a massive 38 percent discount from the regular $29 and the lowest price we’ve ever seen. And if you want four or more, you can get a bundle for $65 ($16.25 each), also an all-time low. These little discs are so useful to have at home. Whether you’re hooking them up to your keychain, placing them in your luggage, or wallet, or popping them in a backpack, an AirTag is one of those things you’d rather buy now than regret not having later. If you tend to misplace your keys, then you’ll love having an AirTag beep so you can locate them more easily when you’re in a hurry to leave the house. Similarly, when in your luggage, if it’s ever to go missing, you can track its location through the Find My app. When out of Bluetooth range, the Airtag will ping off other iPhones, thus allowing you to know its location. The great part is that these gadgets are water and dust-resistant, and they have a replaceable battery, so when it eventually goes out in a few years, you won’t need to get a new device. The only drawback is that they don’t have a keyring hole, but third-party accessories are pretty cheap. So go order one of these Apple AirTags for $18, their lowest price ever, and buy a little peace of mind this holiday season.

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss Apple's new iPhone Pocket accessory, the future of Apple Fitness+, and the iPhone Air 2's delayed launch. Subscribe to The MacRumors Show YouTube channel for more videos Apple this week announced the iPhone Pocket, a 3D-knitted limited edition accessory made in collaboration with Japanese fashion house ISSEY MIYAKE. The accessory is like a stretchy pocket, similar to an iPod Sock, but elongated to form a strap made of a ribbed, elastic textile. The iPhone Pocket comes in two versions. There's a short strap design available in eight colors for $149.95, and a long strap design in three colors for $229.95. The iPhone Pocket can be used in a variety of ways – handheld, tied onto bags, or worn directly on the body. The limited-edition release is now available on Apple's online store and at select flagship Apple Store locations worldwide, although it is rapidly selling out. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman recently reported that the future of Apple Fitness+ is "under review." The service apparently suffers from high churn and little revenue, remaining one of the company's "weakest digital offerings." As a result, Fitness+ is now said to be in the process of receiving new management, with Apple health vice president Sumbul Desai taking control of the service. The health division, now including Apple Fitness+, will report directly to services chief Eddy Cue. The reorganization is likely to lead to added pressure to improve the service. In other news, it emerged this week that Apple's second-generation iPhone Air is to be delayed on account of the device's low sales, pushed back from the original target launch of fall 2026. Since the iPhone Air launched in September, there have been a multitude of reports of poor sales and significant production cuts. Apple has responded by scaling back shipments and winding down the supply chain, with all production expected to cease by the end of this month. Apple now plans to introduce a more substantially redesigned iPhone Air 2 model in the future, perhaps alongside the iPhone 18e and iPhone 18 in the spring of 2027. The new device could feature an additional rear camera with an ultra-wide lens, vapor-chamber cooling, reduced weight, a larger battery, and a new chip.

Apple recently teamed up with Japanese fashion brand ISSEY MIYAKE to create the iPhone Pocket, a limited-edition knitted accessory designed to carry an iPhone. iPhone Pocket is available to order on Apple's online store starting today, in the United States, France, China, Italy, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. However, it is already completely sold out in the United States, and many size and color combinations are quickly running out in the other countries too. The accessory can also be purchased at the following Apple Store locations, while supplies last: Apple Canton Road, Hong Kong Apple Ginza, Tokyo Apple Jing'an, Shanghai Apple Marché Saint-Germain, Paris Apple Myeongdong, Seoul Apple Orchard Road, Singapore Apple Piazza Liberty, Milan Apple Regent Street, London Apple SoHo, New York City Apple Xinyi A13, Taipei The accessory is offered in short and long sizes, in a variety of colors:Short: Lemon, Mandarin, Purple, Pink, Peacock, Sapphire, Cinnamon, and Black Long: Sapphire, Cinnamon, and BlackIn the U.S., pricing ranged from $149.95 to $229.95. iPhone Pocket is designed to be versatile. It can fully enclose an iPhone, but you can stretch it to peek at your screen and/or fit additional items. The accessory can be held in your hand, tied onto a bag, or worn directly on you. Here is how Apple describes the iPhone Pocket:Crafted in Japan, iPhone Pocket features a singular 3D-knitted construction that is the result of research and development carried out at ISSEY MIYAKE. The design drew inspiration from the concept of "a piece of cloth" and reinterpreted the everyday utility of the brand's iconic pleated clothing. The development and design of iPhone Pocket unfolded in close collaboration with the Apple Design Studio, which provided insight into design and production throughout.Given it is a limited-edition accessory, it is unclear if there will ever be additional inventory of the iPhone Pocket once it is fully sold out worldwide.This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums02:08 pmWorth using ads?

In a Weibo post, the popular rumor account Fixed Focus Digital wrote (via Google translation) that “the iPhone Air and iPhone 16E haven’t sold very well, and iPhone’s attempt to lower prices has failed.” Whereas Apple is believed to have responded to the Air’s struggles by delaying or cancelling the second version of the product, Fixed Focus says the follow-up to the iPhone 16e is still on track for “a normal spring iteration.” Presumably, that means spring 2026, since the account refers to the product as the iPhone 17e. Don’t shed too many tears for Apple’s accountants. Reports suggest that the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max are all selling healthily, and there’s no doubt that Tim Cook would give up any number of 16e sales to shift an equivalent number of far more profitable premium phones. In fact, Apple’s most recent quarterly earnings report set a record with revenue of $102.5 billion In any case Fixed Focus doesn’t offer a source for its assertion, so it should be taken with a pinch of salt until we get corroboration. But it doesn’t come as a total surprise. As I explained in my review, the issue is that the 16e has many of the compromises of a budget phone, but without a truly budget price. The often-derided iPhone 5c ended up being moderately successful because it was, by Apple’s standards, cheap and cheerful. The iPhone SE was popular because you could buy one for $429. But the 16e starts at $599 despite having a single rear camera lens and no MagSafe. You can see why customers would be unimpressed.02:00 pm3 reasons Pluribus is the new must-watch series on Apple TV

Macworld We really shouldn’t be surprised, but Apple’s iPhone Pocket is a hot commodity. Shortly after it went on sale earlier today, it appears to be selling out. A check of the U.S. website at 8:15am ET showed the long strap, which costs $230, sold out for delivery and unavailable for store pickup in all three colors. The short strap ($150) was sold out in Mandarin and Pink, while some colors were showing shipping in late November. As we wrote this story, the shorter Pocket in Black also sold out. And on the U.K. store, all three long straps (£219.95) are explicitly described as sold out. The accessory is described as a “special edition,” which implies stock might not be replenished. Notably, Apple’s website doesn’t usually list products as sold out, but rather pushes the estimated ship date out further as the initial stock depletes. Apple describes iPhone Pocket as “a singular 3D-knitted construction designed to fully enclose iPhone, while expanding to fit your everyday items.” It was designed in collaboration with the Issey Miyake studio, named for the late designer best known for designing Steve Jobs’ trademark black turtleneck. The iPhone Pocket features “a ribbed mesh structure” made of nylon and polyester, and will clearly be a conversation piece if you’re lucky enough to grab one before they’re all gone.01:47 pmBest iPad for seniors 2025: Which is the best iPad for older users?
Macworld If you’re an older user looking to pick up an iPad, or someone wanting to gift an Apple tablet to Grandad or Grandma, which is the best iPad to choose? There’s a fair selection in the current Apple catalog, from the diminutive iPad mini all the way up to the incredibly powerful (not to mention very expensive) iPad Pro. It can be intimidating, especially as different users have different needs. To help you make sense of it all, here’s our guide to finding the best iPad for seniors. What makes an iPad good for older users? iPad owners don’t magically transform into timid technophobes on their 70th birthdays, and there isn’t one right answer to this question. Any iPad model might turn out to be the right choice for a specific older user, depending on that user’s precise requirements. But there are a few criteria that tend to become more of a factor when our bodies begin to age. Screen size is one element: with eyes not being as strong as they once were a large, easy to read screen could be the most important factor. That said, weight and portability may also be important; some older users have arthritis, while others find they tire more easily than they used to when using a tablet for extended periods of time. The iPad could be an important part of the users connection to family and grandchildren, with video calling becoming a families go to method for staying in touch. A large screen is also ideal for viewing photos and videos and even reading ebooks. Price versus power and features is also an important consideration, since you don’t want to spend lots of money on a device with capabilities you’ll never really use. That said, you do want to be future-proofed though as users tend to go years between iPad updates. These requirements can be true for any user, so it’s always best to talk to the person in question about their particular needs if you want to pick the perfect tablet. The right model for you (or yours) will be determined by your budget and a number of other factors. The cheapest iPad is the A16 iPad, but if you pay a little more the 11-inch iPad Air is a great option. For a big screen, perfect for reading, watching videos or FaceTiming family the 13-inch iPad Air is ideal.

For those with fading eye-sight, the larger, easy to read screen of the 13-inch iPad Air can be a real benefit. Here you have an iPad that’s about as big as a laptop – in fact this iPad could happily take the place of a laptop if you attach a keyboard. The size makes it ideal for viewing photos, video-calling the grandchildren and reading ebooks. It great value compared to the 13-inch iPad Pro and, while it’s less powerful than that model, if you aren’t likely to be using the iPad for the kind of features that require such power, such as gaming and video editing, an iPad Pro would be unnecessary.

Also, they come with Pro-level prices, which isn’t great if you’re only going to use them to watch videos and FaceTime the grandkids. For the more discerning user who requires plenty of power but at a reasonable price, the iPad Air is an excellent solution. There’s not much to differentiate the iPad and 11-inch iPad Air, but, when you look closely, you can see from where the extra expense comes. The two devices are around the same size, and both sport a Liquid Retina display, but the one on the Air is fully-laminated, so there’s no air-gap between the glass and digitizer, which makes it feel like you’re touching the actual pixels and makes using the compatible Apple Pencil (2nd gen) that much smoother. They feature the same 12MP cameras on the back and front on the longer side of the device. But, under the hood the Air has the incredibly powerful M3 processor, which is found in several recent Macs. This takes things to another level. If someone wants to play games, use graphically intensive apps or just wants a really fast user experience, then the M3 delivers that in spades. The USB-C port allows you to connect various external devices, such as storage or monitors, so it can easily transform into a laptop with a processor that’s desktop-class. Apple offers the sleek Magic Keyboard folio case, but at $299/£319 it’s way overpriced, so we’d suggest a third-party Bluetooth keyboard and case as a more frugal option.

If you’re looking for a lightweight iPad, and therefore easier to hold for longer periods, then the iPad mini (A17 Pro) is the one to choose. At around 0.65lbs/293g it’s roughly half the weight of the standard iPad. This is made possible, as the name suggests, by the smaller display. But the 8.3-inch panel is still an excellent size for the web, not to mention better as an e-reader thanks to being easier to hold. Under the hood, the iPad mini is a powerhouse, with an A17 Pro chip (as seen in the iPhone 15 Pro), which is (unlike the A16) compatible with Apple Intelligence and therefore better future-proofed.

For many (perhaps most) people, this iPad will deliver everything you want from a tablet and not cost you a small fortune in the process. This iPad is ideal for surfing the web, watching streaming services, and shopping online. For FaceTime calls there’s a 12MP Ultra Wide front camera that offers advanced features such as Center Stage (which allows the user to move around on video calls while the iPad tracks them so they don’t disappear out of view) and 1080p video. Having an excellent video-call experience is key to keeping in touch with grandkids, friends or family around the world. The 10.9-inch display is also large enough for eyes that might be starting to diminish, while the touch targets on the screen will be easy to hit with unsteady hands. Of course, many seniors are full of more life and vigor than their grandchildren, and the ability to connect an Apple Smart keyboard and first-gen Apple Pencil makes this a perfect companion for traveling while writing memoirs or creating art. The main disadvantage to this iPad is the processor – it doesn’t run the AI Apple Intelligence features available on all other iPads. Apple Intelligence powers a variety of tools designed to enhance communication, creativity, and productivity, including writing tools, Image Playground, Visual Intelligence and more. Apple’s roll out of these features has been slow, so right now there may be nothing that appeals, but over the next few years the impact of these AI capabilities will grow and this iPad won’t support them. This iPad also lacks Stage Manager, which is a feature on the iPads Air and Pro that allows you to use multiple apps simultaneously in a way that is more like a desktop computer.

Rockstar Games has announced that acclaimed open-world game Read Dead Redemption and its Undead Nightmare expansion pack are coming to iOS and Android early next month. The December 2 release on mobile is part of a larger rollout for the epic Western on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and Netflix. Red Dead Redemption launched in 2010 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It follows John Marston, a former outlaw forced by federal agents to track down the remaining members of his old gang. Its successor, Red Dead Redemption 2 – released in 2018 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One – acts as a narrative prequel. From Rockstar's website: Step into the events immediately following the blockbuster Red Dead Redemption 2, in the critically acclaimed tale of John Marston's journey to bury his blood-stained past. In its zombie-horror companion Undead Nightmare, fight to find a cure for the zombie plague that has overrun the frontier. According to Rockstar, the new versions feature the complete single-player experiences of both games with mobile-friendly control options, and they also include bonus content from the Game of the Year Edition. It's not clear yet what the hardware requirements are or how much the games will cost to buy. Red Dead Redemption earned multiple Game of the Year awards when it was released, and it is widely regarded as one of the best open-world games ever.Tag: Rockstar GamesThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums12:15 pmTraveling soon? You’ll want to download this essential app before you leave
Macworld International travel is easier than ever. Offline translation and navigation apps are readily available, and booking flights and accommodations can be done online from the comfort of your home. Still, you’ll need internet access upon arrival to order a ride, contact your Airbnb host, update family and friends, etc. Local carriers often sell SIM cards at international airports, but these usually come with a tourist tax and limited package options. I’ve been traveling from one place to another for the past five years, and Airalo is the app I always use to get instant 4G/5G cellular access as soon as I land. Here’s how it works. Like with most online services, when you download the Airalo app on your iPhone for the first time, you’ll have to sign up with your email address. Once you’re in, you can instantly start eSIM shopping. The app’s main tab features a search bar, letting you quickly locate the available packages for a certain country or continent. There are also global eSIMs that work in up to 137 countries. So, whether you’re touring multiple regions or heading to a single destination, you should find a package that covers your trip. The Airalo app is an indispensable tool for international travelers.Foundry After choosing the country or region, you get to view a list of available offers, which are predominantly data-only. This doesn’t bother me in the slightest, as all of my contacts primarily rely on VoIP and IM apps anyway. Each pack features a specific validity period and consumption quota, and you can always top up your active plan if you need more time or data. To proceed with the purchase, you simply enter your bank card details—and Airalo can optionally store them for faster checkouts in the future. When I’m planning an international trip, I buy a compatible Airalo eSIM and install it on my iPhone before I depart. All it takes is joining a Wi-Fi network and following the straightforward on-screen instructions. Assuming you haven’t opted for a continental or global eSIM, your plan won’t activate until you land and your iPhone automatically connects to the relevant carrier’s cell tower. So, you can safely install the eSIM in advance and enjoy the convenience of instant connectivity the moment your airplane lands. I’ve never experienced any issues with Airalo’s service, and when my friend unwittingly bought a package on his incompatible Android phone (ignoring the app’s multiple warnings), the company agreed to fully refund him. And thanks to their iOS widget, I can quickly glance at my Home Screen to find out how much data I still have left. It’s reliable and convenient, and it spares me from needing to sign up with numerous foreign carriers and pay marked-up prices.11:39 amInside Homebrew: How to get the best open source software on Mac, for free

Macworld Apple is known for its iconic devices such as the Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, but the company also has an extensive lineup of accessories, ranging from USB cables to iPhone cases and even Apple Watch bands. And the company has just added a new member to its family of accessories. Dubbed iPhone Pocket, the new accessory is the result of a collaboration between the company and Issey Miyake. It’s essentially a small fabric sleeve with an expandable strap described as a “beautiful way to wear and carry your iPhone” around. Surprisingly, prices can reach $230 per piece. But this isn’t Apple’s first head-scratching accessory. Read on as we dive into some of the company’s most head-scratching creations. iPod Socks Apple When Steve Jobs announced iPod Socks as a “revolutionary new product” during an Apple event keynote in October 2004, many people laughed, thinking that Jobs wasn’t serious about launching a pack of colorful socks for iPods. Jobs even joked about how other companies were making a lot of money from third-party iPod accessories, while Apple had zero official accessories at that point. The idea was to compete with protective cases for iPods, but with an original, fun, and unexpected touch that only Apple could provide. The socks were compatible with pretty much all iPod models available at the time and protected them from scratches when they weren’t being used. iPod Socks weren’t exactly convenient since you had to take the iPod out of the sock to access the Click Wheel. Still, the accessory was fun, unique, and most importantly, quite affordable. A pack that included six color options cost $29, less than $5 per sock. In many ways, we can say that the new iPhone Pocket has a touch of inspiration from iPod Socks. U2 iPod Apple Also in 2004, at the same event where Jobs announced iPod Socks, Apple also unveiled the U2 Special Edition iPod. To celebrate the good relationship between Apple and U2, the company released a special edition iPod in black with a red Click Wheel. On the back, the iPod had the signatures of each member of the band laser-engraved. Customers who bought the U2 iPod also received an exclusive poster and a $50 coupon toward the first-ever Digital Box Set containing all of U2’s music up to that point. It was clearly made for superfans of U2 and wasn’t the last time Apple and U2 would cause waves of confusion. Only four generations of the U2 iPod have been released over the years, making the product an expensive collector’s item for those who still have one. The existence of the U2 iPod is a reminder that Apple loves to collaborate on new products from time to time. iPod Hi-Fi Apple Marketed as “home stereo reinvented,” the iPod Hi-Fi was Apple’s first attempt to bring music and its minimalist design language into the living room. A decade before HomePod existed, the iPod Hi-Fi amplified songs played through the iPod with the help of multiple speakers and a large built-in woofer. Since AirPlay wasn’t a thing back then, users had to plug their iPod into the Hi-Fi system using a 30-pin connector precariously placed at the top of the heavy speaker. There was also a 3.5mm headphone jack for connecting other devices to the iPod Hi-Fi. Due to its high price ($349), unimpressive sound, and lack of wireless connectivity, the iPod Hi-Fi never became a hit. Apple ended up discontinuing the product just one year later, after launching the first iPhone. And most people probably never missed it. iPad Keyboard Dock Apple When Apple announced the first iPad in 2010, the company also introduced an intriguing accessory: the iPad Keyboard Dock. Instead of a wireless keyboard or a folio case, it was literally a dock with a full-size keyboard attached. Despite Apple’s attempt to include keyboard shortcuts specifically designed for the iPad, the keyboard felt awkward, had no adjustability, and required the iPad to be connected via the 30-pin connector. Because of that, it was only possible to use the iPad with the keyboard in portrait orientation. The accessory cost $69, which was somewhat expensive for a clunky keyboard. The iPad Keyboard Dock was discontinued a year later, after the launch of the iPad 2. It took Apple four years to release another keyboard for the iPad, this time a much better one (the Smart Folio Keyboard). Mac Pro Wheels Kit and Pro Display Stand Apple When Apple introduced the 2019 Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR, the company marketed it as a modular, professional desktop that could handle everything from 8K video editing to advanced 3D rendering. But alongside this long-overdue Mac and monitor, the company unveiled two accessories that made all the headlines. For $699, customers could replace the standard stainless-steel feet with a set of four polished wheels so they could easily move their Mac Pro around. The idea made some sense for studio environments, but the price (nearly $175 per wheel) turned the Mac Pro Wheels Kit into a meme. To make things worse, the wheels don’t come with all the tools needed to install them on the Mac. In addition, the wheels don’t have locks, so your $6,000 computer could simply roll away if the floor isn’t perfectly level. But that wasn’t the only confoundingly overpriced accessory introduced. While the Mac Pro’s companion monitor, the 32-inch 6K Pro Display XDR, certainly impressed with its specs, users were more shocked that the $5,000 monitor didn’t come with a stand included. Rather, Apple sold a Pro Stand separately with an insane $999 price tag. It was impossible not to notice the crowd’s negative reaction at the event during the announcement (which was notably Apple’s last live keynote). Both products are over-engineered, beautifully crafted, and hard to justify. Yet, they’re both still available in stores. Apple Polishing Cloth Apple In 2021, Apple quietly released an accessory that no one asked for, but everyone talked about. The Apple Polishing Cloth appeared on the company’s online store with a $19 price tag and a simple description: a soft, nonabrasive material that “cleans any Apple display.” Almost immediately, the cloth went viral. Some mocked it as the ultimate symbol of Apple’s luxury pricing, while others defended it, claiming it actually worked better than cheap microfiber alternatives. The product even sold out within hours, with shipping dates slipping by months. It became both a meme and a collector’s item, proving that Apple can even turn a simple cleaning accessory into a status symbol. To this day, the Polishing Cloth remains on sale, a small but perfect example of Apple’s ability to make small things seem premium. iPhone Crossbody Strap Apple More recently, Apple introduced another accessory that divided people’s opinions: the iPhone Crossbody Strap. The strap can be attached to all Apple iPhone 17 cases and lets users wear their brand new iPhone as a fashion accessory, similar to the new iPhone Pocket. While some see no point in the accessory, others seem to like the idea of carrying their iPhone around as if it were a small purse. One thing we can’t deny is that the accessory isn’t cheap either: $59 for each skinny strap, and the case isn’t included. Weird, but very Apple As you can see, Apple has a long history of trying to push new accessories. While some fail, others emphasize Apple’s ability to turn almost anything into a premium product. It’s still too early to tell whether the new iPhone Pocket will be a hit or whether it will quietly disappear in a year, but at least Apple is once again trying to do something different.11:28 amHow I wrangled Apple’s on-device LLM into choosing the right SF Symbols

WhatsApp is close to rolling out third-party chat support across the European Union, as part its compliance with the bloc's Digital Markets Act (DMA). WhatsApp parent company Meta is required by the DMA to make its messaging platform interoperable with other third-party services, and Meta says the first apps that WhatsApp will support are BirdyChat and Haiket, following successful testing over recent months. WhatsApp users on iOS and Android who choose to make use of the interoperability support will be able to share messages, images, voice messages, videos, and files. Meta says there will also be an option to create groups with third-party users, once its partners are ready to support the feature. Meta did not mention web apps or desktop apps, suggesting this will be mobile-only interoperability. According to Meta, third-party messaging apps must use the same level of end-to-end encryption as WhatsApp to maintain security standards. From Meta's newsroom post: Meta's partnerships with BirdyChat and Haiket is a result of more than three years of work with European messaging services and the European Commission to build a solution to third-party chats that meets the requirements of the DMA, while preserving privacy and security for users as much as possible. This follows three core principles: Protecting user security and privacy: In line with DMA requirements, third-party messaging apps must use the same level of E2EE as WhatsApp. Clear and simple experience: We've provided users with a simple onboarding experience, while ensuring they understand the main differences between chats on WhatsApp and third-party chats. Available to European users: In line with DMA requirements, third-party chats will be available to people in the European Region.Meta says that over the coming months, WhatsApp users in the European Region will begin seeing a notification in the app's Settings tab that will explain how they can opt-in to connect with people on third-party apps. Meta intends to "expand our interoperability offerings" as required by the DMA, and will provide updates on its progress as it rolls out further features in time. In February 2024, WhatsApp claimed it had been working on interoperability for years, and that its work was only partially motivated by the DMA.Tag: WhatsAppThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums10:37 amAnalytics.

The speaker also has a volume control with an on/off detent. A position switch on the back allows you to choose between desktop mode (for short listening distances, for example, in the studio) and bookshelf mode (for longer distances, for example, up to the couch). The cabling can be flexibly adjusted using the L/R position switch. The integrated power supply unit (100 to 240 volts) simplifies cabling as no external power supply unit is required. The scope of delivery includes a speaker connection cable, an RCA to jack cable, and foam pads. Technically, there are hardly any surprises. Amplification is provided by a Class D power amplifier with a peak output of 50 watts and a continuous output of 25 watts RMS. The housing is made of MDF and has a bass reflex port for improved bass reproduction. Mackie positions the CR3.5BT as a universal speaker for the desktop on a Mac, as well as a stereo speaker for connecting to a player such as a turntable or a streaming player. I first tested the Mackie CR3.5BT via Bluetooth. This revealed the first problem with our M4 Mac Studio: the speakers were on the desk, the Mac Studio M4 under the desk, and this was apparently enough to permanently disrupt the Bluetooth connection. A test with the iPhone, on the other hand, worked without any problems. Alternatively, the Mac’s headphone output could have been used. The sound via Bluetooth is immediately convincing. The CR3.5BT utilizes its decent housing volume for a surprisingly full sound. It is important to set the switch on the back correctly: “Desktop” for placement on the desk at a short distance from the listener or “Bookshelf” if the speakers are placed further away on a shelf, for example. The maximum sound resolution is primarily limited by Bluetooth and the AAC codec, but it is fine for music and speech. It is pleasantly clear for speech, but can sometimes be a little sharp and aggressive for music. Switching to the direct connection of an Eve Play audio streaming player and positioning it on a speaker stand at ear height changes the listening experience. Listening to Tension II by Kylie Minogue plays much more airily and freely. What was sufficient on the desk, the bass, is too weak when positioned at some distance from a wall. This is particularly noticeable with pop, disco and rock. There’s a lack of punch here, but that’s not surprising given the small woofer. In this application scenario, it is best to use the optional CR8SBT subwoofer. Depending on the music genre, the tweeter can be somewhat aggressive, which is primarily noticeable at higher volumes. Should you buy the Mackie CR3.5BT? The CR3.5BT can’t perform miracles, but it delivers a solid performance for its price. Beginners can buy these without hesitation, but will have to live with the fact that there is no digital USB input. Anyone looking for more sound or additional features will quickly end up paying around three times the price. The features of the CR3.5BT are impressive for the low price: three analogue inputs, a headphone output, a tone control, and an easily accessible volume control conveniently located on the front. The speakers really come into their own on the desk; on the shelf, we would recommend one or even two sizes larger models.08:19 amPoignant documentary Come See Me in the Good Light is available to watch now on Apple TV | 9 to 5 MacPoignant documentary Come See Me in the Good Light is available to watch now on Apple TV

Elon Musk wasn't happy with how xAI was performing in Apple's App Store compared to ChatGPT, so he filed a lawsuit, which Apple and OpenAI must now face after failing to get it dismissed.Elon Musk wants Apple's help to make Grok more popularThere are a lot of odd details surrounding a case that pits Elon Musk and former business partner Sam Altman against each other — with Apple trapped in the middle. Musk's xAI developed Grok to compete with ChatGPT, but it has fallen short with a highly biased bot programmed to promote right-wing extremism in place of facts.While Grok is technically impressive on its own, its bias has made it a limited competitor to those seeking out that kind of biased information. According to a report from Bloomberg, Apple and OpenAI must face a lawsuit claiming that the failure of Grok's popularity is due to anticompetitive behavior.

Apple and OpenAI were not able to get a lawsuit filed by Elon Musk's xAI startup dismissed, reports Bloomberg. Texas District Judge Mark Pittman said today that Apple and OpenAI will need to continue on with the lawsuit and submit filings arguing their case. xAI sued Apple and OpenAI in August 2025, accusing the two companies of conspiring to dominate the AI market. The lawsuit came after Musk complained that his apps X and Grok had not been featured in the App Store's "Must Have" apps section. The lawsuit claimed that Apple was "blindsided by major innovations in AI," leading it to team up with OpenAI in a "desperate bid to protect its smartphone monopoly." It referenced Siri's ChatGPT integration, because Apple has not established deals with other companies for Siri integration. xAI said that if iPhone users want to access a generative AI chatbot, "they have no choice but to use ChatGPT, even if they would prefer to use more innovative and imaginative products like xAI's Grok." iPhone users can, of course, download any chatbot app from the App Store, but xAI said that apps do not have the same "functionality, usability, and integration" as ChatGPT does with Siri. The lawsuit also accused Apple of "deprioritizing" the apps of competing generative AI chatbots, and depriving Grok of data from billions of iPhone users because Grok isn't integrated with Siri like ChatGPT. The lawsuit claims that xAI "sought an integration" with Apple Intelligence, and was denied. In a filing earlier this month, Apple and OpenAI both argued that the lawsuit is flawed because there is no exclusivity deal that prevents Apple from integrating other chatbots into Siri. xAI has asked the court to put a stop to Apple and OpenAI's "anticompetitive scheme," and help it "recover billions in damages."Tags: Apple Antitrust, Elon Musk, GrokThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums12:51 amXcode losing reference to installed simulator.

Apple today provided public beta testers with the second beta of an upcoming macOS Tahoe 26.2 update for testing purposes. The public beta comes a day after Apple provided the beta to developers. After signing up for beta testing on Apple's beta site, public beta testers can download the updates using the Software Update section in the System Settings app. macOS Tahoe 26.2 beta 2 adds an Edge Light feature for video calls. Edge Light provides a light border around the edges of the Mac's display, mimicking the look of a physical ring light to improve lighting in darkened rooms. Edge Light uses the Neural Engine for positioning, so it is optimally placed around your face in the video frame. Light color can be adjusted from warm to cool, and the feature is available in video conferencing apps alongside other options like backgrounds, Portrait mode, and Voice Isolation. It is available on Macs that support Apple silicon. The macOS Tahoe 26.2 beta is limited to developers and public beta testers right now, but it won't be a long testing period. We'll likely see Apple release the update right around mid-December given past launch timelines.Related Roundup: macOS Tahoe 26Related Forum: macOS TahoeThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums12:12 amApple releases macOS Tahoe 26.2 public beta 2

Macworld In 2022, Apple and Major League Soccer agreed to a big deal that made Apple TV the streaming provider for all of the league’s matches (local broadcasters still offered games on network TV). However, those matches required a paid subscription. That paywall is going away for the upcoming 2026 MLS season, according to The Athletic. MLS matches next season will simply be part of a regular Apple TV subscription, according to the report. An Apple TV subscription is $12.99/£12.99 per month, or $99 per year. Previously, Apple offered MLS Season Pass, which was $14.99 per month or $99 per year (an Apple TV subscription was not required). Neither Apple nor MLS has made an official announcement about the change. While the report may seem surprising, the signs that foretold a change were apparent. The 2026 MLS playoffs (which are happening now) are not behind a paywall on Apple TV. Earlier this year, reports stated that MLS commissioner Dan Garber called Apple “a great technology partner,” but there were questions on whether Apple TV was the best venue for the league’s efforts to expand its fanbase. Apple and MLS began a ten-year deal that started with the 2023 season. The changes come a month after Apple and Formula 1 signed a five-year deal for Apple TV to stream all F1 races. In that deal, practices, qualifying, Sprint sessions, and Grands Prix will be available to Apple TV subscribers, and select races and all practice sessions will be available for free in the Apple TV app. F1 TV Premium will continue to be available in the U.S. via an Apple TV subscription only for $17 per month.11:23 pmUnited States SMS and MMS Carrier Maintenance – T-Mobile
