Apple today announced that users can now describe a shortcut in natural language, with Apple Intelligence automatically building the automation in the background. Previously, creating a Shortcuts automation required users to manually build workflows step by step, making the feature largely the preserve of more technically minded users. With the upcoming update, users can simply describe what they want a shortcut to do in plain English text, and Apple Intelligence then handles the construction. Apple demonstrated the feature with a practical example: A user asking the Shortcuts app to automatically send their estimated time of arrival to a designated recipient whenever they leave home. Apple Intelligence calculates the ETA based on the user's location and sends the correct time without any manual configuration.Tags: Apple Intelligence, ShortcutsThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums06:06 pmApple Brings Natural Language Creation to Shortcuts App

Users can aim their iPhone camera at a restaurant check and immediately divide the total between friends, with Apple Cash integration allowing payments to be sent on the spot. Apple also demoed pointing the camera at a plate of food to receive nutritional insights.

Apple today announced a significantly revamped Siri at WWDC 2026, rebranding it as "Siri AI" and unveiling out a wave of new capabilities spanning conversational depth, system-wide integration, and a redesigned interface across platforms. Apple framed the update with the acknowledgment that "there are times when you expect more from Siri." The company is describing the redesigned assistant as "a profoundly more capable assistant" that can now hold multi-turn conversations, draw on real-time world knowledge, and interact with personal data across apps. Siri is now embedded directly in the Dynamic Island, accessible by swiping down from it, pressing the side button, or saying "Hey Siri." A revamped voice engine makes the assistant sound more expressive, with micro-adjustable voice settings available during initial setup. During Apple's keynote demo, presenters showed Siri handling chained, multi-step requests with apparent ease. In one sequence, a presenter asked about a Suki Waterhouse concert, was told tickets require a lottery entry, and asked Siri to set a reminder when the lottery opens, which it did. In another, the assistant identified a photo's landmark, pulled up navigation to that location, and surfaced photos from a recent family trip, adding a specific image to a shared family album on request. Another demo showcased Siri's ability to synthesize information across apps. A presenter asked about a dessert he had heard about at an event, and Siri located the relevant details from his Messages history. It then compiled the information into a watch-party menu, drafted a message to his contacts with the menu included, and presented send and edit options. In a further demo, a presenter asked about something his son had shared in a message and followed it up by asking Siri to compose an email on the subject. A new dedicated Siri app lets users scroll back through prior conversations and kick off new ones, with conversation history synced via iCloud so sessions carry seamlessly between devices. The app is also coming to watchOS. On the Mac, Siri is now also integrated into Spotlight and available via right-click context menus on any file or window. On visionOS, Siri AI gains a 3D visualization that users can place anywhere in their space.

Apple today announced a major overhaul of its Apple Intelligence platform, revealing a new architecture built on foundation models developed in collaboration with Google using the technologies behind the Gemini family. The new architecture centers on Apple Foundation Models co-developed with Google, which Apple says are adapted to run both on-device and on servers through its existing Private Cloud Compute infrastructure. Apple described the collaboration as a "deep" one that it says unlocks what it called a "huge upgrade" for Apple Intelligence, bringing state-of-the-art understanding and reasoning capabilities as well as multimodal support including image understanding and generation. The upgraded models support new capabilities use cases, including realistic image creation, advanced photo editing, and visual question answering. Certain devices will receive a higher-power version of the model with additional capabilities including speech generation, improved dictation accuracy, and stronger natural language understanding, though Apple did not specify which devices qualify. A new system orchestrator sits at the center of the revised architecture, coordinating Apple Intelligence features securely across Apple's platforms. Apple says the orchestrator allows the system to tailor its responses based on the active app and the user's current task, enabling what the company described as truly system-wide intelligence. Apple used the announcement to frame its approach as a contrast to competitors it characterized as "racing forward" without regard for users. The company reiterated that Apple Intelligence relies on on-device processing and Private Cloud Compute, with a promise that user data is only used to execute the immediate request and is not accessible to Apple or third parties. Apple added that outside experts can verify those privacy guarantees "at any time."Tags: Apple Intelligence, GoogleThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums05:36 pmElevated 500 errors on CF1 SaaS Integrations API

Custom EQ lets listeners adjust audio output to match their personal preferences, going beyond the fixed audio profiles AirPods have offered previously. Custom EQ lets you adjust the balance of different sound frequencies, including bass, mids, and treble, to tailor audio output to your personal taste. Boosting the bass makes music feel punchier, for example, while lifting the treble adds more clarity to vocals and instruments. AirPods already support features such as Adaptive Audio, Personalized Spatial Audio, and Conversation Awareness. Custom EQ adds a further layer of tuning on top of those.Related Roundups: AirPods 4, AirPods Max 2, AirPods Pro 3Tag: WWDC 2026Buyer's Guide: AirPods (Caution), AirPods Max (Buy Now), AirPods Pro (Neutral)Related Forum: AirPodsThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums05:28 pmApple unveils iPadOS 27 with speed and productivity improvements, more

Apple today announced a series of improvements to Liquid Glass, the translucent design language the company introduced last year. Apple said it has heard user feedback, which it "deeply appreciates," and is now making adjustments to the underlying foundations of how Liquid Glass is constructed. Chief among those changes is a new slider that lets users control transparency, ranging from fully opaque to completely clear. Sidebar behavior is also being updated. Sidebars will now expand to the full edge of the window, with refraction effects continuing beneath them rather than cutting off at the sidebar boundary. Sidebar icons will also retain their color, a change that addresses a common complaint about the original Liquid Glass implementation. Apple also announced updates to its app icon design language. Having redesigned all of its first-party icons last year to create a more consistent look across apps and platforms, the company said it is now taking that work further by incorporating additional layers of Liquid Glass directly into the icon artwork itself.Tags: Liquid Glass, WWDC 2026This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums05:13 pmApple updates Liquid Glass UI in iOS 27 with new slider to customize how it looks

Macworld The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are expected to launch in September 2026 featuring several cutting-edge hardware advancements, including the debut of Apple’s C2 modem, and a shift to a 2nm manufacturing process for the A20 Pro chip. Other key rumored upgrades include a smaller Dynamic Island with under-display Face ID components and camera improvements that may include variable aperture on the Pro Max and enhanced sensors. Alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max Apple is said to be planning to launch the ultra-premium folding iPhone. However, in a change to the usual schedule, the company is expected to shift the launch of the iPhone 18 spring 2027 to keep the spotlight on the Pro series during its traditional September debut. Here’s a quick summary of what all the rumors and leaks say to expect from the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max in 2026. Update April 20, 2026: A Macworld source has revealed that there will be a new Dark Cherry color for the 2026 iPhone Pro, see more below. What are the biggest upgrades for iPhone 18 Pro & Pro Max Pro models launching first in September 2026, base models delayed to spring 2027 Smaller Dynamic Island likely, with some Face ID components under the display Possible variable aperture camera (Pro Max only) New A20 chip (2nm) for performance and efficiency gains Apple’s own C2 modem expected across the lineup Potential satellite internet support, for web browsing and so on, not just emergency use How is iPhone 18 Pro/Max different from iPhone 17 Pro/Max?

If you want to get two, that’ll cost you $25 or just $25 each. The 20,000mAh capacity is one of the best things about this power bank because that means it’s got enough juice to recharge your iPhone about 3-4 times over. On a flight, a road trip, or a packed day of errands, that’s the kind of cushion that means you’re not hunting for a wall socket every few hours. The built-in USB-C cable is super convenient because it simply means there’s no separate cord to forget, tangle, or dig out of your bag. Of course, if you really want to and you know you’ll have to charge multiple devices at once, there are two extra ports available, a USB-C and a USB-A. Broad USB-C compatibility means it works with most modern phones, tablets, and accessories without issue. 30W output handles phones and tablets just fine, but it won’t do much for laptops. If you’re looking for a power bank that can also charge a MacBook, you’ll have to look towards other models, of course. Anker has plenty of laptop power banks that deliver at least 65W of power, but they’re typically a bit pricier. This 25,000mAh model with 165W total output is on sale for $120 at Amazon right now. At $29.99, the Anker Nano power bank is an easy recommendation for travelers, commuters, or anyone who wants dependable backup power with one less cable to pack.Firehose II – Jobs, Deals, Apps
