Make Sure to Update: iOS 18.3.1 Includes Fix for Actively Exploited Vulnerability The iOS 18.3.1 and iPadOS 18.3.1 updates that Apple released today include an important security fix, and it's important to install the new software as soon as possible because this bug was exploited in the wild.
According to Apple's security support document for iOS 18.3.1 and iPadOS 18.3.1, it addresses an accessibility vulnerability that could disable USB Restricted Mode on a locked device.
Exploiting this vulnerability requires physical access to a device, and Apple says that it was used against specific individuals.

The vulnerability was fixed with improved state management, according to Apple. Note that Apple has also released iPadOS 17.7.5 with the same security fix for devices that are not able to run iPadOS 18.
You will want to install iOS 18.3.1 if you have an iPhone compatible with iOS 18 in order to ensure you are protected from vulnerabilities.

Today’s a great day to save big on the AirPods 4 and AirPods Max Macworld
If you’re on the fence about trying Apple Music for $2.99 after watching Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime show last night, this deal might push you over: The AirPods 4 are $29 off right now, bringing their price just below $100, while you can save $70 on the USB-C AirPods Max, the best prices we’ve ever seen.
If you’d rather get earbuds over headphones, the new AirPods 4 are a fantastic option. We reviewed the ANC version of the AirPods 4 and gave them a near-perfect score, loving the great audio quality and battery life. (If you want the higher-end version, they’re also available for $30 off).
Meanwhile, Apple’s newest AirPods Max with a USB-C port instead of Lightning are on sale for $70 off for the first time. As you can tell by the price, these headphones are much higher-end than the AirPods 4. When we reviewed the AirPods Max, we gave them a four-star rating and appreciated the pleasing sound quality and the “industry-leading active noise canceling.” The main thing we didn’t like was the price, which this deal definitely helps with.
So whether you want AirPods earbuds or AirPods headphones, go grab a pair and start rocking out to your favorite tunes.

Wearing an Apple Watch on the Ankle? New Report Explains the Trend A report from The New York Times over the weekend highlighted the trend of people wearing an Apple Watch on their ankles, instead of the wrist.
Apple Watch on ankle (Image Credit: The New York Times)
The report highlighted reasons why some people prefer to wear the Apple Watch on the ankle:
Some people with tiny wrists find the Apple Watch fits too loosely for heart rate sensing.
Some people with wrist tattoos believe the ink may interfere with heart rate sensing, which is something that Apple acknowledges in a support document. Apple says some tattoos can "block light" from the heart rate sensor on the bottom of the Apple Watch, making it "difficult to get reliable readings."
Some people believe the Apple Watch provides more accurate step counting when it is worn on the ankle, compared to the wrist.
Some people with skin conditions prefer to wear the Apple Watch on the ankle.
Some medical professionals cannot wear anything on their wrists.Apple has not commented on the report, but its support documents and white papers for the Apple Watch mention that the device's heart rate and calorie measuring functions are validated for wear on the wrist, with no mention of the ankle anywhere. Apple has not publicly come out and advised people against wearing the Apple Watch on the ankle, but it is not something that its documentation acknowledges at this time.Related Roundup: Apple Watch 10Buyer's Guide: Apple Watch (Neutral)This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

You can get extra cash for your Mac trade-in until April 2 Macworld
Apple on Monday increased the amount you can get when trading in an old Mac while buying a new one. The boosted values are good until April 2 in the U.S., U.K., and Canada.
Here are the boosted Mac credit values and the previous ones (U.S./U.K./Canada):
MacBook Pro: Up to $925/£715/CA$1,125 (previously $915/£705/CA$935)
MacBook Air: Up to $435/£325/CA$450 (previously $425/£325/$440)
MacBook: Up to $140/£100/CA$160 (previously $90/£70/CA$90)
iMac: Up to $315/£250/CA$380 (previously $305/£240/CA$370)
iMac Pro: Up to $455/£330/CA$545 (previously $405/£300/CA$500)
Mac mini: Up to $375/£260/CA$215 (previously $365/£250/CA$225)
Mac Studio: Up to $1,150/£820/CA$920 (previously $1,140/£835/CA$995)
Mac Pro: Up to $720/£535/CA$640 ($670/ £530/CA$585)
The credit value is determined by the condition and age of the Mac. The most recent Mac models in the best condition will get the highest payouts, and Macs that are too old or damaged may not be eligible (though Apple will happily recycle it for free). Apple’s Trade In website has a short form to get an estimation of credit, though you’ll need your Mac’s serial number. To take advantage of the limited-time offer, here’s what you need to do to get your Mac ready for a trade-in.
Apple’s Trade In program is an easy way to get rid of your old Mac, but you can often get more if you sell privately or use a different program. Here are the details on how to sell a Mac or MacBook.
Apple is expected to announce a new M4 MacBook Air in the next few weeks, so this limited offer could be a signal that it’s coming in March.
Best iPhone SE deals Macworld
If you’re looking for an iPhone but don’t want to spend a fortune, the third-gen iPhone SE, Apple’s cheapest current handset, is the phone for you. It features a powerful processor (the A15, which also appeared in the flagship iPhone 13 Pro from 2021) at an affordable price, starting at $429 in the U.S. or £429 in the U.K.
In this article, we round up the best deals and discounts currently available on each iPhone SE model, as well as cheap bundle offers worth considering. We cover both SIM-free and contract deals, identifying which retailers which have the handsets in stock, and which offer the best price. If you want to get yourself an iPhone SE, read on for the best deals.
Just be aware that Apple could soon upgrade the iPhone SE. The new model expected in spring 2025 may lose the Home button and be more like the iPhone 14. Read iPhone SE 4: Everything you need to know.
U.K.
KRCS, iPhone SE (64GB): £424.71 (£4.29 off, RRP £429)
KRCS, iPhone SE (128GB): £474.21 (£4.79 off, RRP £479)
How much does the iPhone SE cost?
Apple’s most affordable iPhone starts at $429/£429. (And you can get it for less if you trade in an older qualifying phone.) The 2022 model is currently available in three configurations:
iPhone SE (2022, 64GB): $429 / £429 / AUD$719
iPhone SE (2022, 128GB): $479 / £479 / AUD$799
iPhone SE (2022, 256GB): $579 / £579/ AUD$969
(If you’re buying the iPhone SE we recommend that you avoid the lowest-capacity model. We explain in a separate article: Why you shouldn’t buy the 64GB iPhone SE.)
Best iPhone SE (2022) deals on contract
Try the following stores and carriers for the best iPhone SE contract deals.
As mentioned above, make sure you’re getting the 2022 model with the A15 processor and 5G. It’s also bearing in mind that you’ll want the contract to include 5G support too: you need both hardware and contract to support the tech, and this may cost extra. If in doubt, ask a member of the sales support staff.

Malwarebytes Free Antivirus Review Macworld
At a glanceExpert's Rating
Pros
Good settings, performance, and easily-created whitelists
Easy installation, full disk access setup
Effectively catches and removes some viruses and malware that similar applications sometimes miss
Cons
Occasional crashes that required software uninstallation, Mac reboot, and reinstallation of Malwarebytes
Still no external volume scan feature present after all these years
Our Verdict
Malwarebytes’ free edition is good at hunting down and removing some of the peskiest viruses and malware around, but between its bugs, occasional crashes, need for reinstallation, and the fact that its full feature set is locked out until an account has been created or a subscription has been signed up for, this feels like pulling teeth. Couple this in with the fact that an external drive scanning feature is STILL missing after all these years and it feels as if the Mac is a second-class citizen where the company is concerned.

There are times when you can love and rely on a utility for a given set of functions, but it can still fall short on the whole. This is the case with Malwarebytes’ Free edition, which currently stands at version 5.10.0 as of this writing, requires macOS 11 (Big Sur) or later to install and run and functions as a lead into Malwarebytes’ paid services.
The software includes access to Malwarebytes’ 14-day free trial, which now requires registration and a credit or debit card to be stored on file to bill against. The paid versions offer features such as Real-Time Protection, VPN functionality, anonymous browsing, $2 million in identity insurance, social media monitoring, enhanced Dark Web monitoring, and an online personal data remover, with the paid accounts starting at $44.99/£29.99 a year for the standard version, more if you opt for the VPN and related features. Read our review of Malwarebytes Premium Security for Mac for more information.
See our round up of the Best Antivirus for Mac software we have tested and reviewed.
But what do you get with the free version of Malwarebytes? A fair amount, but a lot of it serves as ads/teasers for Malwarebytes’ paid services.
The software downloads and installs cleanly, with minimal fuss required to grant it full access to your Mac’s entire hard drive. Launch the app, and you can check out features such as Identity Protection, which runs a web-based scan to let you know where your information has been leaked and exposed.
Other features, such as Real-Time Protection and scheduled scans need to be unlocked via a subscription, and the days of extremely easy access to Malwarebytes’ fully featured 14-day free trial seem to have gone the way of the dodo. The application’s settings are easy to get to, and it’s simple to create whitelists of files to ignore during scans, but it seems as if more and more features require at least a registration and means of payment to be stored on file as opposed to unfettered access to the full application’s toolset for two weeks to effectively try things out.
Settings for MalwarebytesFoundry
Testing Malwarebytes’ free edition proved mostly successful, and after adding a random slew of malware to my M2 MacBook Pro and running the application, Malwarebytes worked well with macOS GateKeeper function, keeping the vast majority of malware off my Mac and heading questionable installations off at the pass. For the malware that did get through, Malwarebytes was able to remove infamous culprits such as AdWind and XLoader, but didn’t remove the fake Adobe Album application I installed, which had to be removed manually.
Threats identifiedFoundry
Several odd crashes surfaced during testing that offered no error number or crash log to save and reference against, and I found myself uninstalling Malwarebytes, rebooting my Mac, and reinstalling Malwarebytes no less than two times, which was concerning.
Perhaps the most infuriating part of the testing was finding out that Malwarebytes still has yet to offer a volume selection feature to target external volumes such as thumb drives, backup drives, NAS volumes, etc. This feature has been present on the Windows version of Malwarebytes for years, and an email I received from Malwarebytes corporate office last year stated this version was in the works, but as of version 5.9.0, it seems to be nowhere to be found, and it’s a rough guess as to exactly which volumes outside of your internal drive the free version will scan for viruses and malware. Yes, this is worth your attention and consideration, but this also feels as if you’re pulling teeth here and that doesn’t help when you’re shopping for a good antiviral/antimalware program to rely upon for your Mac.
Take a look at these deals on the best antivirus apps for Mac, including the best free antivirus for Mac options.
Should you use Malwarebytes Free Antivirus?
In as much as I want to like Malwarebytes’ free edition and heartily recommend it without question, I found myself hitting land mines that I’d never run across with the software, which would give anyone pause. I didn’t expect I’d have to remove and reinstall it twice, and up until recently, activating the fully-featured 14-day trial didn’t require creating an account and placing a credit or debit card on file.
So much of this application feels locked off until the piggy bank opens on your end, and I don’t feel as if I’m asking the world for Malwarebytes to finally bring Malwarebytes’ Mac version up to par with the Windows version and add an external volume feature to target scans with.
There’s a reliable program here, and odds are I’ll keep a copy on hand to remove viruses and malware that other programs miss, but it feels as if you need to wrap yourself around the paywall and the application’s constraints to get what you need out of it. Yes, this is worth looking into, and the price is right for an annual subscription, but it feels as if Malwarebytes, or any other product this mature, shouldn’t have these crashes or place this many obstacles in the way of the program’s overall functionality. The user shouldn’t feel as if they have to open their wallet to even see if the program is worth their money in the long run.

iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro: Where to get the best deals Macworld
The iPhone 16 launched in September 2024, but you can still buy 2022’s iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Plus from Apple. And if you’re prepared to shop around you may still be able to get the iPhone 14 Pro or Pro Max (both of which were discontinued in 2023).

Apple will also let you trade in your old iPhone and get up to $650 in credit toward a new purchase. Find an unlocked or SIM-free iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Plus at Apple.
With the arrival of the 15-series iPhones in late 2023, Apple stopped selling the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max, but they are still available from other retailers, as you will see in the price comparison tables below.
As of 2025 Apple no longer sells the iPhone 14 in the E.U. and we don’t expect that the company will continue to sell it elsewhere for much longer.

Amazon, iPhone 14, 128GB: £499 (£100 off, RRP £599)

Best iPhone 14 series carrier deals
If you want to buy a recent iPhone for less than the full retail price, you’re probably going to need to get it from a carrier or mobile provider, and there will often be significant strings attached. These deals can be complicated, so be sure to read the fine print.
In the U.S., Apple partners with carriers to offer discounts on the 2022 iPhones. You get a $30 discount if you buy a phone activated on AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile/Sprint, however, if you shop around there are some good deals to be found. See our table below for the best deals right now.
U.S.
AT&T: Get up to $800 in bill credits when you buy a new iPhone 14 and trade in your old phone, with a qualifying unlimited plan.
T-Mobile: Get up to $800 in bill credits when you buy an iPhone 14 and trade in your old phone when you add a new line.

Powerbeats Pro 2 Given to Customer Early, Expected to Debut Tomorrow Apple's long-awaited Powerbeats Pro 2 are finally expected to be announced this Tuesday. Ahead of time, one lucky Walmart customer was able to get their hands on the earbuds early, according to a Reddit post that surfaced over the weekend.
A leaked image of the Powerbeats Pro 2 in Electric Orange
"My local Walmart had them in the cage," the Reddit user explained. "I asked if I can buy them [and] he said yes."
Apple already shared a Powerbeats Pro 2 teaser video last year, revealing that the earbuds have a slimmer and more vertical design compared to the original Powerbeats Pro from 2019. Other rumored features include the H2 chip from the AirPods Pro 2, heart rate monitoring for workouts, new color options like Electric Orange, and more.

With the H2 chip, the Powerbeats Pro 2 should offer improved active noise cancellation, better sound quality, and longer battery life.

Apple Promotes MLS Season Pass: 'When Football Ends, Fútbol Begins' Just minutes after Super Bowl LIX ended on Sunday, Apple shared a short video promoting its MLS Season Pass subscription service.
Whether you call it football, fútbol, or soccer, the sport with the round ball returns soon.

In the United States, MLS Season Pass is priced at $14.99 per month or $99 per season, and it provides access to all regular season and playoff matches. MLS Season Pass is available in the Apple TV app on Apple devices, most smart TVs, and many other streaming devices and game consoles, as well as on the web at tv.apple.com.
2025 marks the third year of a 10-year partnership between Apple and Major League Soccer.

Apple describes a way to make Vision Pro much lighter The two biggest criticisms of Vision Pro have been price and the weight. We know Apple is working on a lower-priced model, and a new patent application describes a way to make the headset very much lighter.

Apple still chasing the AR glasses dream… but fears another flop Macworld
Reports at the end of January that Apple had terminated a project to build Mac-tethered augmented reality glasses were met with widespread disappointment and skepticism. Here at Macworld, we argued that the company had killed off the wrong Vision Pro project, while many pundits questioned its appetite for the fight in what could be an important market of the future.
According to the respected Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, however, Apple hasn’t given up on the AR market. It still wants to release a pair of standalone AR glasses at some point, he writes in the latest edition of his Power On newsletter but has been burned by Vision Pro’s lack of success and wants to avoid another failure in the short term.
“It seems like the new boss of Apple’s Vision Products Group, John Ternus, doesn’t want another flop on his hands,” Gurman writes. That’s a mildly controversial take, given that Apple has always acted like Vision Pro did exactly what it was supposed to: offer a glimpse of the future without being expected to sell in high numbers. But we can be absolutely certain that it did not sell in high numbers.
That “failure” may be the reasoning behind this latest cancelation, but the will is still there. “I’m told that Apple’s long-term goal of standalone AR glasses remains intact,” Gurman adds, “and the company will keep working on underlying technology—like screens and silicon—to help make such a device more feasible.”
The project killed off last month, in any case, was more of a stopgap than a proper sequel to Vision Pro. It would have replicated one of Vision Pro’s more popular features (the ability to reproduce whatever is currently showing on a Mac’s display in an intimate virtual environment) in a more slimline and affordable product. But it would not have offered all of the features that the company one day hopes to offer in its widely hoped-for standalone glasses.
Whereas Vision Pro is fundamentally limited in its appeal to casual consumers by bulk and cost (as, most likely, there will be any sequels to the product in the short or medium term) the glasses represent a shot at the mainstream. It’s still unclear what will eventually take the smartphone’s place as the dominant tech product in society, but we can be pretty sure it won’t be something that looks like Vision Pro. Unobtrusive pairs of glasses, discreetly feeding us information as we go about our days, though? That has a chance.
Every new Apple product coming in 2025 Macworld
Over the past few years, Apple has overhauled its entire product range, including transitioning the Mac from Intel to its own processors, introducing the tough Apple Watch Ultra, adding a new Plus model to the iPhone lineup, and introducing a brand-new product category – the Vision Pro headset.
In 2025 there’s even more change coming, with a new ‘Air’ iPhone rumored, a long overdue update to the iPhone SE, a much needed Mac Pro and Mac Studio update and mjuch more. Read on to find out what’s coming from Apple in 2025.
In this article, we take a look at what new products we expect Apple to launch throughout 2025 and beyond. We have investigated every rumor and trend we could find to bring you our predictions. Read on to find out what could be in store.
New Apple products that launched in 2024
Before we begin with the predictions, here’s a quick look at what Apple released in 2024:
The Vision Pro headset arrived in the U.S. on February 2.
The M3 MacBook Air launched on March 4.
The M2 iPad Air, the M4 iPad Pro, and the Apple Pencil Pro all launched on May 7.
iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus launched on September 9.
iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max launched on September 9.
Apple Watch Series 10 launched on September 9.
AirPods 4 launched on September 9 and new colors (and USB-C) for the AirPods Max were introduced.
iPad mini A17 Pro launched on October 15.
Apple launched the M4 iMac, Mac mini, and MacBook Pro the week of October 28.
Missing from that list are M4 versions of the MacBook Air, Mac Studio and Mac Pro (with the latter two never even getting an M3 update) and an update to the standard iPad (currently the 10th gen model which doesn’t even support Apple Intelligence). So updates to those are anticipated for 2025, but what else is coming from Apple?
In the sections below we’ve split products into categories including Mac, iPad, iPhone, and some new product categories. Read on to find out what to expect at Apple next event and throughout 2025.
Apple
New iPhones
A new set of iPhones arrived at Apple’s 2024 iPhone event on September 9, but what of the iPhone SE?
iPhone SE
There have been a few rumors about the iPhone SE. It’s thought that the new iPhone SE will support Apple Intelligence, which means we will see a processor jump that takes it beyond the iPhone 14 and 15 models and may supplant them – the iPhone 14 is very likely to be discontinued at any rate as it can’t even be sold in the EU due to the lightning port. It may also be the first iPhone to ship with a modem made by Apple, which could help keep costs down. A supposed leak has revealed a notch, Face ID and a bigger screen.
Read: iPhone SE rumors.
When? Spring 2025
iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro
The iPhone 17 won’t arrive until September 2025, but there are already rumors about them. Apple is expected to introduce a new model, the iPhone 17 Air, that brings a fresh design and new features.
Read: iPhone 17 rumors
When? September 2025
New Macs
Now that the first M4 Macs have arrived, our attention turns to the models that still have M3 processors, and in some cases the M2. It looks like Apple will update the rest of its Macs with M4 chips in 2025. In fact by the end of 2025 we could even be seeing the M5 arriving. Here’s when you can expect the remaining Mac models to make the switch:
M4 MacBook Air
Apple’s popular laptop is expected to get an M4 chip in spring 2025. You can also expect a new FaceTime Center Stage camera, but, other than that, the update is expected to be little more than a chip refresh. Read: MacBook Air M4 rumors
When? Spring 2025
M4 Mac Studio
The Mac Studio will bypass the M3 chip and jump straight to the M4 Max and M4 Ultra, making customers wait about two years between updates. It seems that the reason for no update to the Mac Studio was the problems with the costly M3 chip. See: Apple’s M3 nightmare is coming to an end.
The Mac Studio will be upgraded to the M4 Max and Ultra chips and incorporate Thunderbolt 5. It’s unclear what else Apple has planned for the Mac Studio than a new chip, we don’t expect that it will follow the Mac mini in the reduction in size seen in October. Read: M4 Mac Studio rumors.
When? June 2025 at WWDC
M4 Mac Pro
If the Mac Studio is getting an update with the M4 Max and M4 Ultra you can rest assured that the Mac Pro will too, likely at the same time in 2025.
Apple didn’t change the design of the Mac Pro when it got its first Apple silicon update and is the only Mac that still has the old design following the M4 Mac mini overhaul. We don’t expect Apple to change anything with the M4 update in 2025, except for Thunderbolt 5 implementation. Read: M4 Mac Pro rumors.
When? June 2025 at WWDC
iMac Pro
The M4 iMac delivered some new color hues, but it still has a 24-inch screen. Apple discontinued the 27-inch iMac way back in 2022 when the Studio Display arrived, and there have been rumors ever since that Apple is working on a new large-screen iMac.
Apple is said to be working on a new “Pro” version of the iMac, a return of the 27-inch iMac Pro perhaps, or even larger. There are enough rumors to believe that Apple is indeed working on such an iMac, though it’s unclear whether it will arrive in 2025 or later. Read: Larger iMac Pro rumors.
When? Maybe October 2025
M5 MacBook Pro
Apparently work on the M5 chip was underway as early as January 2025 and the M5 MacBook Pro will be arriving at the end of 2025 (probably in October as usual). The iPad Pro may be the first to get the M5 chip though (more below). Read: M5 MacBook Pro: Everything you need to know.
When? Maybe October 2025
New iPads
The iPad ProDominik Tomaszewski/IDG
No iPads were updated in 2023 – the first time a year passed without an iPad update. Almost the whole range got a refresh in 2024, with the new iPad Air and iPad Pro in May and the iPad mini in October. But there’s still one model remaining:
11th-gen iPad
The 10th gen iPad joined the lineup in October 2022 so a new model is somewhat overdue. As such, the 10th-gen iPad is the only model that doesn’t support Apple Intelligence, so the next update will likely give it the same A17 Pro chip used by the 2024 iPad mini. Read about the 11th-gen iPad.
When? March 2025
M5 iPad Pro
The M5 chip is, apparently, set to arrive in the iPad Pro in September 2025, a month before it arrives in the MacBook Pro.
When? September 2025
New AirPods
The AirPods Max and AirPods Pro have had the odd update since they launched a few years ago, but the next generation has yet to materialize. Will they get a full update in 2025?
The wait for new AirPods Pro could stretch beyond 2025. They could offer new health-related features when they arrive. As for the AirPods Max, now that Apple’s refreshed the colors it’s unlikely to do anything else for a while.
Read: New AirPods rumors.
When? September 2025
New Apple Watch
The Apple Watch Series 10 arrived in September 2024, with a larger screen, but there was no generational update for the Apple Watch Ultra or the Apple Watch SE. Apple will surely release a new Apple Watch in 2025 along with new Apple Watch Ultra and SE models. Some reports say Apple could move the Apple Watch SE launch to spring. The Apple Watch Ultra may gain the ability to send emergency texts via satellite. We could also see blood pressure monitoring on the new Watches in 2025.
When? September 2025 (and possibly March 2025 for the SE)
New product categories
If Apple was never to innovate away from the products it makes right now it could be left behind as technology progresses. It’s no surprise therefore that the company is working on various new areas. We don’t expect these to land in 2025, but rumors suggest that some of them still could arrive sooner rather than later.
HomePod with screen
A HomePod that combines the screen of an iPad could be on the cards.Foundry
We do hope there is some truth in the rumors that Apple is working on a HomePod with a screen. We’ve always said that a screen would make the HomePod infinitely more usable, but perhaps we are the only ones who hate having to talk to our speaker and control the HomePod via an iPhone (which can be a drain on the battery).
A screen would extend the uses of the HomePod beyond audio into visual – so you could watch podcasts and news reports and YouTube videos, but most usefully communicate via FaceTime.
So far all Apple has done is brought back the full-size HomePod that it removed from sale.
Read: HomePod with screen rumours.
When? 2025
Cheaper Vision Pro
The Vision Pro is pricy and a little cumbersome, but Apple is said to be at work on two updated models: a cheaper Vision Pro, and another high-end model. Perhaps “Vision Pro 2” and “Vision Air?”
There could be four new AR/VR products coming in 2025, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. These could include a cheaper Vision Pro model (at $2,000).
When? 2025 or later
Apple Car
If you were hoping for a physical Apple Car prepare to be disappointed. Apple has cancelled the Apple Car project after about a decade of development. But this doesn’t mean there is no future for Apple’s car-related research.
A second major iteration of CarPlay could takes things beyond maps and music to the next level, giving users complete control over things like climate control inside the car. Apple apparently wants to revolutionize the vehicle user interface and make it more user-friendly, convenient and functional.
Read: The Apple Car is dead. Where does that leave Apple’s auto ambitions?
What Apple released in 2023
Apple hit the ground running in 2023 with new Macs and a new HomePod in January. Then at WWDC in June the company launched no less than three new Macs and a brand new device – the Vision Pro – alongside revealing its plans for macOS 14 Sonoma, iOS 17 and watchOS 10. Finally (maybe) Apple launched the new iPhone 15 series and the Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 at an event in September and then made macOS Sonoma and iOS 17 available for customers to download later that month. Then at an Apple event on October 30 the company unveiled new MacBook Pro and iMac models.

Make Any File a Template Using This Hidden macOS Tool Stationery Pad is a handy way to nix a step in your workflow if you regularly use document templates on your Mac. The long-standing Finder feature essentially tells a file's parent application to open a copy of it by default, ensuring that the original file remains unedited.
Stationery Pad doesn't get much attention these days, but it's a neat alternative to repeatedly editing templates and using the "Save As..." command, which can lead to overwriting the original file if you're not too careful.
Almost any file type can be defined as a template with Stationery Pad – it could be used to streamline common Photoshop jobs, create skeleton HTML/CSS files, or help with Word document invoicing. To make use of Stationery Pad, create the file you want to use as a template, then follow the steps below.
Define a File as a Template Using Stationery Pad
Find the file in Finder that you want to use as a template.
Right-click (or Ctrl-click) the file and select Get Info in the contextual dropdown menu. Alternatively, click the file to select it and use the Command+I keyboard shortcut to launch Get Info.
Check the Stationery Pad checkbox under the General section.
Click the red traffic light button to close the Get Info window.Next time you double-click the template file, Finder will create and open a copy of it, leaving the original untouched. To reverse the behavior, simply uncheck the Stationery Pad checkbox in the template file's Get Info window. This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Ramps Up Hiring for Work on Home Robotics Devices Apple has been ramping up hiring for its robotics research and engineering teams to help spur the development of home robotics devices, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
The company is currently in the early stages of developing a tabletop robot and has its sights set on potentially creating a humanoid model in the future.
The robotics work is being spearheaded by two departments within Apple: the Home Labs hardware engineering group and Kevin Lynch's AI special projects team. These teams originated from Apple's now-defunct self-driving car unit, which was disbanded last February.
Over the past several weeks, Apple has posted numerous job listings for robotics specialists, stating that new hires will have "the opportunity to work with a small team of highly skilled engineers and scientists to bring new experiences to Apple products."
Last month, a team of robotics researchers at Apple published a research paper and accompanying video showcasing a lamp-like robot prototype with lifelike movements. The robot, reminiscent of Pixar's mascot Luxo Jr., demonstrates various interactions with a person, such as responding to weather inquiries, providing lighting for iPhone photography, reminding the person to drink water, and even dancing along to music as a social companion.
While the research paper provided a glimpse into Apple's robotics experimentation, Gurman has previously reported that the company is developing a tabletop robot with an "iPad-like display" attached to a robotic limb. This device, which could launch by 2027, is expected to be primarily controlled with Siri and Apple Intelligence, with the ability to respond to commands like "look at me" during FaceTime video calls.
Gurman believes Apple's tabletop robot is likely to be something closer to a HomePod smart speaker with a screen attached to a robotic limb, and it could turn out to be a higher-end version of Apple's rumored smart home hub, which is expected to launch this year.

World's Thinnest Foldable Phone Launches Next Week Oppo has confirmed a February 20 global launch for its Find N5, which the company claims is the world's thinnest device in the foldable phone category. The phone is expected to be re-branded as the OnePlus Open 2 in the US.
The Chinese vendor has been teasing the device in the last few weeks, touting its waterproofing and nearly invisible display crease, and highlighting its thinness by comparing it to Apple devices like the iPad Pro, which is Apple's thinnest device to date.
Oppo has shared a trailer of the Find N5, calling it "Slim, yet powerful." Reports suggest the Find N5 is around 4mm thick. That beats the Honor Magic V3, which up until now was considered the thinnest foldable, which is 4.35mm thick when unfolded.
The video also reveals some additional features, including a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, an alert slider, and a cut-down camera bump. The ad shows the device in Cosmic Black and Misty White colors, but not the Twilight Purple color that is expected to be exclusive to the Chinese market.
The smartphone market is currently fascinated with thinness. Samsung recently teased its super-thin Galaxy S25 Edge, following reports that Apple is planning to launch a so-called iPhone 17 Air in September. The rumored device, which will replace the Plus model in its flagship lineup, is expected to be Apple's thinnest iPhone to date.
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes that the iPhone 17 Air will be 5.5mm thick at its thinnest point, which likely means that it will have a 5.5mm chassis with a thicker rear camera bump area.
The thinnest iPhone we've seen so far was the iPhone 6, which measured in at 6.9mm. iPhones got thicker with the iPhone X and beyond, as Apple increased thickness to provide more space for the battery, camera lenses, Face ID hardware, and more.Tag: OppoThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple May Drop iPhone Display Supplier Over Quality Issues Apple supplier BOE is again facing issues with its OLED panel production for iPhones, prompting Apple to consider redirecting orders to Samsung Display and LG Display, according to sources in Korea (via OLED-info).
The Chinese display manufacturer has reportedly been struggling to meet Apple's quality standards for LTPS AMOLED displays intended for iPhone 14, 15, and 16 models. Since the beginning of 2024, BOE has only managed to deliver approximately 7-8 million panels to Apple, falling drastically short of its roughly 40 million unit orders.
The quality issues are expected to take at least six weeks to resolve. Meanwhile, industry insiders suggest that Samsung Display is likely to receive the majority of any redirected orders, since LG Display's production capacity is primarily focused on manufacturing LTPO AMOLED displays for iPhone "Pro" models.
This is just the latest setback in BOE's troubled history with iPhone OLED production. The company faced similar challenges in 2023 when it struggled with light leakage issues around the Dynamic Island cutout for iPhone 15 displays, leading Apple to reduce orders significantly.Tag: BOEThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
The iPhone SE deserves a party, not a press release Macworld
Good news, everyone! The next version of the iPhone SE is set to arrive sooner than expected. The latest report now puts the launch at sometime in February (it could even be announced today, ruining this article’s shelf life), rather than March or early April that’s more usual for products that don’t fit in Apple’s fall and summer slates. Given that we’ve been waiting since March 2022 it feels a little presumptuous to call this early, but let’s at least try to be positive and say that our long national nightmare is almost over.
If Apple has chosen to bring forward the launch, we don’t have to look far for reasons. One is the company’s need to increase usage of its AI platform, which makes it vital to get an Apple Intelligence-ready mass-market smartphone in stores. The other is the company’s failure to prepare for incoming EU regulations, resulting in it having no budget iPhone on sale across numerous markets since the start of this year. Apple needs the next SE, and soon.
I do wonder, though, whether Apple really grasps the importance of the SE to its mission. For one thing, up until this recent injection of urgency, the product has followed a truly glacial upgrade cycle. Since the first model came out in March 2016, almost nine years ago, Apple has managed two further models, neither of which have done much to evolve the form factor. I appreciate that budget buyers are less demanding when it comes to state-of-the-art technology, but you hit a snag when a phone has a dated design and then doesn’t change for three years. You can’t take customers for granted.
Another clue to Apple’s priorities is the likely lack of fanfare surrounding this launch. Mark Gurman, the leaker who last week predicted the phone would come out in a matter of days, says it won’t be unveiled at an event, so we’re probably looking at a website update and email. It doesn’t quite compare to Lana Del Rey at the 2018 iPad Pro unveiling. But why would Apple bother to generate hype for a product it doesn’t believe in?
The iPhone SE is the sort of product that Apple’s customers like, but Apple hates. Its profit margin is scant compared to flagship iPhone models, and its more basic design and feature set means it has far less capacity to dazzle an owner’s friends (or infuriate their enemies) and evangelize the Apple lifestyle. Cupertino is notorious for wanting to control the user experience–the fact that this is lessening is due to political and regulatory pressure and is in no way a reflection of changed priorities–and a major reason behind this is a desire to present products, even after being sold, at their very best. Apple’s customers are its most numerous and frequently most enthusiastic salespeople, and you can’t sell effectively if you haven’t got a top-of-the-line kit.
But the tech world is changing, and the philosophies that have brought Apple to this point may not serve it well in the second half of this decade. The days of shifting millions of expensive smartphones may be numbered, as the improvements become less and less worthwhile and each generation blends into the next. Last week I talked about Apple’s commitment to the long-term pivot away from dependence on the iPhone and towards related products, services, AI, and so on. But it doesn’t yet seem to understand the corollary of that plan: that in the future, the number of iPhone owners will be more important than the amount of money they each paid.
The iPhone SE, like the 10th-gen iPad now and the iPod long ago, has the power of accessibility. It’s easy to use and (relatively) cheap to buy, making it perfect for bringing new customers (and new markets) into the fold and keeping existing customers loyal in periods of economic uncertainty. Given its many benefits, and the three-year gap since the last model, the least Apple could do for the launch of the next SE is throw a party.

iPhone Users Can Sign Up to Try Starlink Connectivity For Free Until July T-Mobile today announced that its Starlink satellite feature is now available in public beta, meaning anyone in the U.S. with a compatible iPhone or Android smartphone can sign up to test the off-the-grid connectivity, even if they use another carrier like AT&T or Verizon. Starlink is a subsidiary of Elon Musk's SpaceX.
Approved beta testers can use the Starlink satellite connectivity for free until July, with limited spots available. Afterwards, T-Mobile customers with a Go5G Next plan or another eligible plan will continue to have access to the feature at no additional cost, while T-Mobile customers with other plans can add the service for $15 per month, per line. Anyone else using a different carrier will be able to access the service for $20 per month, per line.
T-Mobile customers who register for the beta before the end of February will be eligible for a discounted price of $10 per month starting in July.
In most outdoor areas of the U.S. where cellular service is unavailable, a compatible iPhone or Android smartphone enrolled in the T-Mobile Starlink beta will automatically connect to one of hundreds of Starlink satellites in space, allowing for iMessages and SMS messages to be sent and received when there is no cellular or Wi-Fi coverage.
T-Mobile says Starlink support for voice calls and mobile data is coming later.
In a support document, Apple says the iPhone will display "SAT" in the status bar when the device is using a carrier-provided satellite feature, such as T-Mobile Starlink. To turn off a carrier-provided satellite feature, open the Settings app, tap Cellular, tap on your carrier or phone number, and toggle off Satellite.
Here is what Apple says is required:
iPhone 14, iPhone 15, or iPhone 16 (all models)
The latest version of iOS
A supported carrier
Some carriers might require a supported cellular plan
If this sounds familiar, that is because Apple already offers satellite connectivity for free on all iPhone 14 models and newer, in partnership with Globalstar. iPhones can use both Apple's satellite features, and those provided by a carrier.
Apple's satellite connectivity was initially limited to communication with emergency services, but iOS 18 added the ability to send and receive iMessages and SMS messages to anyone via satellite. iPhone users can also update their location in the Find My app via satellite, and arrange roadside assistance via satellite. All of these features are available in the U.S., but availability varies in other countries. The features are free to use for now.Tags: Starlink, T-MobileThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple’s cute robo-lamp looks adorable! [The CultCast] This week on Cult of Mac's podcast: Our first glimpse at Apple's AI-powered robotic lamp makes us giddy about what's to come.
(via Cult of Mac - Apple news, rumors, reviews and how-tos)
Retrocomputing Enthusiast Explores 28-Year-Old Powerbook G3: 'Apple's Hope For Redemption' Long-time Slashdot reader Shayde once restored a 1986 DEC PDP-11 minicomputer, and even ran Turbo Pascal on a 40-year-old Apple II clone.
Now he's exploring a 27-year-old Macintosh PowerBook G3 — with 64 megabytes memory and 4 gigabytes of disk space. "The year is 1997, and Apple is in big trouble." (Apple's market share had dropped from 16% in 1980 to somewhere below 4%...)
Turns out this was one of the first machines able to run OS X, and was built during the transition period for Apple after Steve Jobs came back in to rescue the company from bankruptcy.
It's clearly old technology. There's even a SCSI connector, PCMCIA sockets, a modem port for your phone/landline cable, and a CD-ROM drive. There's also Apple's proprietary ports for LocalTalk and an Apple Desktop Bus port ("used for keyboards, mice, and stuff like that"). And its lithium-ion batteries "were meant to be replaced and moved around, so you could carry spare batteries with you."
So what's it like using a 27-year-old laptop? "The first thing I had to note was this thing weighs a ton! This thing could be used as a projectile weapon! I can't imagine hauling these things around doing business..." And it's a good thing it had vents, because "This thing runs hot!" (The moment he plugs it in he can hear its ancient fan running...) It seems to take more than two minutes to boot up. ("The drive is rattling away...") But soon he's looking at a glorious desktop from 1998 desktop. ("Applications installed... Oh look! Adobe Acrobat Reader! I betcha that's going to need an update...")
After plugging in a network cable, a pop-up prompts him to "Set up your .Mac membership." ("I have so little interest in doing this.") He does find an old version of Safari, but it refuses to launch-- though "While puttering around in the application folder, I did notice that we had Internet Explorer installed. But that pretty much went as well as expected." In the end it seems like he ends up "on the network, but we have no browser." Although at least he does find a Terminal program — and successfully pings Google.
The thing that would drive me crazy is when opening the laptop, Apple's logo is upside-down!

Gurman: New iPhone SE Coming 'This Week' Apple plans to announce a new iPhone SE this week, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
In his Power On newsletter today, and a corresponding social media post, Gurman said the new iPhone SE is "coming this week." Until now, he said that Apple planned to announce the device "as early as" this week, but his wording is now more firm.
Apple has not scheduled an event, so the new iPhone SE will likely be announced in a press release published on the Apple Newsroom website.
The so-called iPhone SE 4 is rumored to feature a mix of iPhone 14 and iPhone 16 features, including a 6.1-inch OLED display, Face ID, a USB-C port, a single 48-megapixel rear camera, and the first Apple-designed 5G modem. With the A18 chip, and a rumored 8GB of RAM, the device is also expected to support Apple Intelligence.
The current iPhone SE resembles an iPhone 8, with outdated features such as an A15 Bionic chip, Touch ID home button, Lightning port, and thick bezels around the display. Pricing starts at $429, but a price increase towards $499 seems probable for the next model.Related Roundup: iPhone SEBuyer's Guide: iPhone SE (Don't Buy)Related Forum: iPhoneThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
