Apple begun selling the M1 MacBook Air for $699 through Walmart last year, and at the time, it was a great deal.

Apple may be getting closer to bringing Apple Intelligence to China, based on an Apple Intelligence feedback form that recently launched on the company's website. The form requires a +86 telephone number for feedback to be submitted, which suggests that it is designed for Apple users located in China rather than those who simply speak Chinese. The site is designed to allow customers to share feedback on Apple Intelligence, reporting information about content, privacy, and general functionality. Customers can submit feedback on Writing Tools, the Photos Clean Up tool, notification summaries, the Reduce Interruptions Focus Mode, priority Mail messages, Smart Replies in Mail and Messages, and summaries in Mail, Messages, Safari, and Call Recordings in the Notes app. As of right now, no Apple Intelligence features are available in China. Apple has been working to expand Apple Intelligence to China since the launch of iOS 18, but it has to partner with a Chinese AI company to deliver the AI functionality. Apple has teamed up with Alibaba for Apple Intelligence, but the rollout of the feature set was delayed in June due to ongoing trade issues between the United States and China. The U.S. and China have since reached a trade and tariff truce, which means Apple could soon clear regulatory hurdles. iOS 26.2 will be the last version of iOS that launches before the end of the year, and it's possible that Apple might be able to implement support in the update if it has earned China's approval. There are no signs of Apple Intelligence support in China in the betas so far, and neither Apple nor Alibaba have provided a potential release date.Tag: ChinaThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forumsTuesday November 2511:52 pmHoliday App Festivitas Adds Animated String Lights and Snow Effects to Apple Devices
Last year, developer Simon Støvring came out with a fun little holiday-themed Mac app called Festivitas. Festivitas adds colorful string lights to your Mac's dock and menu bar, and this year, it can do even more. Festivitas received a 2025 holiday update today, and now it supports gently falling snow for an even cozier feel. Snow interacts with the mouse cursor, parting around it, and if you have a second or third display, snow expands across all of your monitors. Lights and snow can now be set to start at a specific time with a new Shortcuts integration. There are new light options for 2025, including color presets and the option to choose from tons of different shapes. You can customize light shapes, color, size, opacity, drop height, cable thickness, and more in the Settings. Lights can animate, and there are pulse, twinkle, chase, and wave patterns. Snow can also be adjusted with options for amount, flake size, fall speed, and wind. Snow and lights can be displayed over all of your app windows, or just on the desktop, which is nice for a more minimal holiday experience. You can import and export color palettes, and customize your color selections. Like last year, the Mac app requires accessibility features to add lights to the dock, which the app prompts you to grant when starting it up for the first time. Festivitas also now works with the iPad and the iPhone in addition to the Mac. On the iPhone and iPad, lights can be added to the Home Screen using widgets, with customization options to change the aesthetic. The lights are designed to be put around photos, which is a cute effect. Festivitas for the Mac offers customer-selected fair pricing starting at 4 euros, and it can be downloaded from the Festivitas website. The iPhone and iPad app is available from the App Store, and it too offers customer-selected fair pricing between $3.99 and $9.99.

Satechi offers several accessories that include Find My integration, all of which either have more convenient form factors than the AirTag or expanded versatility. The Satechi FindAll range includes a Passport Cover, Glasses Case, Luggage Tag, Card, and Keychain, several of which I've been testing for the last few months. The entire range is made from a vegan leather material that's pleasant to the touch while also durable, and colors that include Black, Sand, and Desert Rose. Prices are all from $30 to $60, and Satechi often has sales. FindAll Glasses Case The $50 FindAll Glasses case has a triangle shape that should fit most glasses and sunglasses options, though I think it could struggle to fit some of the sunglasses with wider lenses. It opens up fully for access to glasses, and then folds into thirds with a magnetic flap to seal it up. Size wise, this isn't exactly a compact case. I wouldn't want to carry it in a smaller purse or backpack, but it fits well in a larger bag. It's rigid, so it offers protection for glasses even if it's tossed in a bag with a bunch of other items. The case is 6.4 inches long, 2.7 inches wide, and 2.6 inches tall. When it's not in use, you can fold it flat. I have the black version, and it doesn't seem to show fingerprints or wear even after a few months of use. The lighter colors might be easier to stain, but the vegan leather that Satechi is using seems durable. I like the idea of a glasses case with Find My, but it only seems useful for a person with a lot of discipline. If I'm losing my sunglasses, it's because I'm not putting them back in the case, not because I misplace the case. I've never been good about returning my glasses to their case, but even if I was, I'm not sure I'd lose the case. I usually have the case in my bag or in one spot in my house, so it's just not an item I tend to lose. With that technicality out of the way, it's a useful case. It offers solid protection, and it could be useful to have if you're often traveling or tend to swap glasses and put one in the case while wearing another. People who do that might have more of a tendency to put the case somewhere random. Satechi says the case is compatible with the VITURE Pro XR glasses, XReal Air 2, and Meta Ray-Ban Smart Glasses, and it makes sense to use with those. The back of the case has a circle on it, to denote where the magnetic charging ring is located. It's able to charge via MagSafe or Qi, and it only needs to be charged every eight months or so. There's a little LED that comes on when it's attached to a charger, so you can tell when it's done. It has all of the same Find My capabilities as any Find My device, including alerts, sound options, and more, but I'll have more to say about it below. FindAll Luggage Tag The $45 FindAll Luggage Tag is a clever combination of a luggage tag and an AirTag. If it didn't mention Find My on the inside of the tag, I'm not sure anyone would view it as anything other than a typical luggage tag. It's 3.3 inches tall and 2.9 inches wide. It's basically a circle-shaped tag with an openable front that includes a piece of paper where you can write down your information. An adjustable buckle with three holes can attach to your luggage or a bag, and like the glasses case, it charges via Qi or MagSafe. I like the premium look and feel of the FindAll Luggage Tag. I generally think it's probably safer to have a tracker inside of a suitcase, but because of the buckle, this isn't going to snap off or come loose without effort. The vegan leather material feels sturdy, and it's stitched well. I pulled on it as hard as I could and even lifted a fully packed suitcase by the tag, and so far there's no damage. The flip-down front that houses your personal information is great, but I do wish the plastic cover inside came up a little higher. One thing I'm always worried about with a luggage tag is it getting wet or damaged in some way. There is partial protection for the paper inside the FindAll Luggage Tag and the magnet snaps closed tight, but I still worry a little about water intrusion. FindAll Card The $35 FindAll Card is a card-shaped Find My device that's meant to be tucked inside a wallet. There are a lot of these kinds of Find My wallet devices available now, including some that are super cheap on Amazon, but I like the peace of mind of having something from a reputable brand. Satechi's version is credit card sized (3.35 inches long by 2.13 inches wide), and it fits into the credit card section of any wallet. It's 0.09 inches thick, which isn't the thinnest card that I've tested, but it's also not the thickest. Satechi designed it with beveled edges, and that helps it look and feel slimmer than it is. The card comes in black, beige, and pink, and it is nice to have an option other than black available. I tested the black, and the glossy material that it's made from is shiny and smooth to the touch, but it's going to pick up fingerprints. I like the smooth texture because it slips into a wallet easily, plus it's IP66 water resistant so if your wallet falls out of your pocket into a puddle, it'll still be locatable. The FindAll Card is nondescript with just a small Satechi logo on the front. If someone stole your wallet, it could potentially be mistaken for a keycard, but a savvy thief would probably know exactly what it is. I like the card-style item trackers because you can also tuck them inside other things. I put one in my planner so I don't misplace it, and they also work in books, sunglasses cases, laptop cases, my Steam Deck case, and other slimmer, flatter items where an AirTag isn't the best option. The FindAll Card charges via MagSafe or Qi, which is convenient. I haven't had to recharge it yet, but Satechi says it lasts for up to 16 months before needing a recharge. I think it's got the longest battery life of any card that I've tested so far. FindAll Keychain Satechi's $30 FindAll Keychain is one of my favorite keychain-style Find My items. It's larger than an AirTag with a square shape (1.3 inches square), but it also has an integrated battery and a keyring at the top so I can attach it to anything without having to get an additional accessory. I like the soft-touch vegan leather material in this form factor, and it's lightweight at 14.3 grams even with the metal keyring. The leather material feels strong, so even though there's just a loop of material holding the keychain to the keyring, it doesn't feel like it's going to come apart. Like the rest of the Satechi FindAll line, the FindAll Keychain can be popped onto a Qi or MagSafe charger when it's out of battery, and that's a huge benefit over AirTags. I am bad about ordering new AirTag batteries and swapping them out when they die, and rechargeable batteries are so much more convenient. Satechi says the battery can last for up to 12 months without needing to be recharged. Find My Integration All of Satechi's FindAll devices can be added to the Items tab in the Find My app, so you can track them right alongside AirTags and your other Apple devices. Satechi's products are almost identical in functionality to the AirTag, but there is no Precision Finding. Precision Finding requires Ultra Wideband (UWB), and these don't support it. That makes a big difference when you want something that you can locate precisely indoors, but less of a difference tracking at long range. If you lose your keys indoors and often need to hunt them down, the option to play a sound helps, but the ability to get directed right to them over short distances with Precision Finding is unbeatable. The FindAll accessories are limited to Bluetooth 5.4, which isn't as precise. Satechi says there's a Bluetooth range of 10 to 20 meters when indoors, and 20 to 50 meters when outdoors. When you're out of Bluetooth range, you can use the Find My network. The FindAll devices connect to the same Find My network as the AirTag, allowing you to leverage Apple products owned by other people to track your items even over great distances. As long as there's an Apple device with cellular or Wi-Fi near a Find My item, it can relay its location back to you. There is a built-in Play a Sound feature, and Satechi's products all list an 80 to 90 decibel range. It's loud enough to hear indoors if you're in the same room and it's buried in a bag or a wallet. Outdoors was a little tougher with loud ambient noise, but between the Bluetooth range and the sound, I was able to find the Keychain after tossing it into the woods. Outdoors, the Find My app is able to direct me close enough to the area of the FindAll device is located to hear it making a sound, provided it's not muffled the fabric of a bag or something similar. Item Left Behind notifications are available too, and that's one of the most useful features of a Find My device or an AirTag. You can get a notification when you get out of range of your item, which immediately alerts you if you've left behind your keys, wallet, bag, or whatever else is attached to one of Satechi's FindAll devices. You can also share item locations with other people, so if your luggage is lost at the airport, you can allow an airline employee access to the FindAll device to track it down. Similarly, you can share locations with family members, and set it up to provide your name and information when an item you've lost is located by someone else. Bottom Line Satechi's FindAll series is an upgrade over the AirTag with different form factors and the option to recharge via MagSafe or Qi, but it does lack Precision Finding. For something that you're likely to lose indoors or in close quarters where it's difficult to hear sound, it might be worth opting for an AirTag for access to Precision Finding, but for general tracking and item left behind notifications, Satechi's trackers are great. I've been using a couple of Find My items without Precision Finding for several years now, and I've never missed it. My wallet, for example, has a Find My card, and I always get item left behind notifications and can accurately track its location when I've left it behind. Basically, Bluetooth tracking will bring you to the house that an item is in, but Precision Finding can help you locate where it is inside the house as long as you're very close. Sometimes that functionality can be replaced with sound, and sometimes it can't. The Satechi FindAll devices have been with me for about six months, and I haven't run into problems with them. Batteries have not run out, the notifications have been reliable, and I've been able to put them to the test multiple times. I have run into some item trackers that die a few months after purchase or stop working in some capacity, but so far, Satechi's products are performing well. In terms of price, some of Satechi's products are more expensive than the AirTag (which is $29), but there are frequent discounts that drop the price of items like the Keychain below AirTag pricing. How to Buy All of the FindAll accessories can be purchased from the Satechi website at prices ranging from $30 to $60. Satechi is holding a Black Friday sale right now, so there's a 30 percent sitewide discount available with promo code BFCM2025. Note: Satechi provided MacRumors with the FindAll Glasses Case, Keychain, Card, and Luggage Tag for the purpose of this review. No other compensation was received.Tag: SatechiThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums11:48 pmGoogle just put Apple within striking distance of Nvidia as the world’s most valuable company | 9 to 5 MacGoogle just put Apple within striking distance of Nvidia as the world’s most valuable company

Poland has launched a new antitrust investigation into Apple's App Tracking Transparency rules, questioning whether Apple misled users about privacy while giving its own apps a competitive advantage over third-party developers. AppleInsider reports: On November 25, Poland's UOKiK has started another investigation into App Tracking Transparency, and whether Apple had restricted competition in mobile advertising. Reuters reports that, to the anti-monopoly regulator, ATT may have limited advertisers' ability to collect user data for advertising purposes while simultaneously favoring Apple's ad program. On November 25, Poland's UOKiK has started another investigation into App Tracking Transparency, and whether Apple had restricted competition in mobile advertising. Reuters reports that, to the anti-monopoly regulator, ATT may have limited advertisers' ability to collect user data for advertising purposes while simultaneously favoring Apple's ad program. This is not the first time that Poland has looked into ATT rules. In December 2021, the regulator held a similar probe following criticism from advertisers. It's not clear what that complaint determined, or if it is still ongoing. Regardless, in the new complaint, the logic is that Apple had a competitive advantage since its own apps were not subject to ATT rules, but third-party apps did have to deal with ATT. Since Apple didn't visibly ask for consent for its first-party apps in the same way, there is a presumption that Apple's rules only applied to other companies. This is despite Apple's repeated insistence that it doesn't use the same kinds of collected data in its own apps and services for marketing purposes, as well as its stance on privacy in general. In short, Apple apps don't use the data, so it doesn't pop up a dialog box asking the user if the app can use the data. There is also the argument that, in setting up an account with Apple, users are providing blanket consent to the company. Implementing ATT on its own apps would therefore be a waste of time, since that consent was already granted. Apple said that it will work with the regulator on the matter, but warned that it could force them to withdraw the feature "to the detriment of European consumers."

Macworld If you’ve always wanted to get a MacBook but found them to be too expensive, then you’ll love this Black Friday deal. Best Buy is selling the fantastic M2 MacBook Air for only $649 right now, an incredible savings of $350 on the original MSRP and $150 off its usual price, and the cheapest you’re going to find any model with Apple’s latest design. This is Apple’s everyday laptop that’s perfect for just about every situation: Internet browsing, YouTube-watching, movie streaming combo, but it’s also great if you want to use it for work, allowing you to juggle plenty of apps at once. The M2 chip is a couple of generations behind the current chip, but it’s plenty powerful, while the 16GB of RAM is more than enough to run Apple Intelligence and multitask. It only has 256GB of storage space on board, so you should probably look into getting a portable SSD to supplement that storage since Apple upgrades continue to be fairly expensive. When we reviewed the M2 MacBook Air, we gave it a near-perfect score of 4.5 stars and our Editors’ Choice award, as we praised the design, gorgeous display, and killer battery life, on top of the laptop’s outstanding performance. Our opinion hasn’t changed, and neither has the design or display—it’s practically identical to the current model. For $649, the MacBook Air is a bit of an impulse buy, if we’re being honest, and we love this for this Black Friday season. That's only $649 for a MacBook!

Macworld We’ve seen some great Black Friday AirPods deals already, but this one is absolute insanity: AirPods 4 have just dropped to $69, a massive 47 percent discount from their $129 MSRP. That’s not just the best price, it’s the best by $15, which was already a fabulous price. For comparison, that’s cheaper than Apple charges for the USB-C Apple Pencil. The AirPods 4 are easily some of the best buds you can get out there without breaking the bank. These ones don’t have any ANC, but they do offer personalized spatial audio and are sweat- and water-resistant, making them the perfect workout companion. We reviewed the ANC version of the AirPods 4 (which are essentially the same otherwise) and gave them a near-perfect 4.5-star rating, appreciating the audio quality and the USB-C charging case. The buds come with plenty of battery life, reaching some 5 hours of playtime on the buds and a total of 30 hours with the case. The H2 chip included in the AirPods 4 makes it possible to have great quality phone calls, limited background noise, and an overall better experience. Of course, you can still use voice commands to get Siri to do your bidding, which is always cool to have. So, stop wasting time and hurry up to get the $69 Apple AirPods 4 — the perfect stocking stuffers this holiday season.

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. However, it is now completely sold out in all countries where it was released. iPhone Pocket became available to order on Apple's online store starting Friday, November 14, in the United States, France, China, Italy, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. It quickly sold out in the United States, but some colors and size options were still available in South Korea and a few other countries until the past few days. The accessory was 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 now that it is fully sold out worldwide.This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums03:12 pmAmazon slashes new M5 MacBook Pro to $1,399, save $200 for Black Friday
