Apple is once again testing its new Background Security Improvement feature that first rolled out in iOS 26.1, iPadOS 26.1, and macOS Tahoe 26.1. Following a previous test earlier this week, developers and public beta testers who are running iOS 26.3, iPadOS 26.3, or macOS Tahoe 26.3 can now install a second Background Security Improvement update for testing purposes. Apple says Background Security Improvements provide additional security protections between software updates for Safari, WebKit, and other system libraries. Background Security Improvements can be installed by going to the Privacy and Security section of the Settings app, scrolling down to Background Security Improvements, and selecting the "Install" option. If "Automatically Install" is toggled on, Background Security Improvements will be automatically installed when they come out with no need to manually install them. Apple says that users who opt not to install the Background Security Improvements will receive the updates in a standard software update. Apple previously had a Rapid Security Response update feature for delivering security improvements, but it wasn't used often after it was introduced in iOS 16, and was ultimately phased out in favor of Background Security Improvements. At one point in 2023, there was a Rapid Security Response bug that prevented some websites from displaying properly. Apple warns that Background Security Updates can result in "rare instances of compatibility issues." Should that occur, the updates may be temporarily removed and enhanced in a subsequent software update.This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums07:03 pmApple defeats AliveCor’s Apple Watch heart rate antitrust suit on appeal

Apple has lost another senior figure from its Safari team as a lead designer departs for The Browser Company, extending a pattern of high-profile exits from Apple's browser team amid intensifying competition around AI-driven browsing. Marco Triverio was a lead designer for Safari and has now joined The Browser Company, the developer of the Arc and Dia browsers. The move was confirmed by The Browser Company chief executive Josh Miller in a post on X, marking the latest in a series of hires from Apple's Safari design leadership. Miller emphasized that Triverio's arrival means The Browser Company has now recruited lead designers from every Safari design era that overlapped with the development timelines of Arc and Dia, roughly spanning 2020 through 2025. Big news:Apple’s lead Safari designer just joined @browsercompany.Alongside @charliedeets, that means we now have the lead designers from every Safari era that overlapped with Arc and Dia (2020 to 2025).We’re not fucking around this year — 2026 will be our biggest yet — Josh Miller (@joshm) January 7, 2026 The Browser Company has positioned itself as an alternative to traditional browsers by emphasizing significant new interaction models rather than incremental updates. The apps are often compared to Apple software due to their focus on visual clarity, animation, and user experience design. Its Arc browser introduced a nontraditional tab system, extensive customization options, and collaborative tools such as shared workspaces and a built-in whiteboard. In 2025, the company introduced Dia, a browser designed around AI-assisted workflows that integrate generative tools, collaborative features, and creative utilities directly into the browsing experience. For Apple, Triverio's exit adds to a broader pattern of senior staff departures that became more visible throughout 2025.Tag: SafariThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums06:42 pmIs it allowed to launch apps by BundleID?

It argued that Apple held a monopoly over access to the Apple Watch's heart rate monitoring tech.This comes after AliveCor's patents related to similar technology were thrown out.

CES 2026 runs through tomorrow, but most of the media announcements and events have already taken place and MacRumors videographer Dan Barbera is wrapping things up with our third video highlighting some of the neat tech innovations being demoed on the show floor. Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos. Among the new introductions this week are several from Clicks, the company that previously brought the BlackBerry-like physical Clicks Keyboard to the iPhone. CES 2026 is seeing the debut of the Clicks Power Keyboard, a pocket-sized Bluetooth keyboard for all of your devices that includes a 2,150 mAh battery and 5W Qi functionality to allow you to top off your phone if you're running low. There's also the Clicks Communicator, a communication-focused smartphone intended to be carried alongside your main phone. Wireless TVs are also starting to become a thing, with Displace showing off its latest Displace Pro 2 set and the Displace Hub that can transform your existing TV into a wireless TV with integrated battery. Popular Apple accessory company OWC has partnered with Strada to showcase a new remote video editing solution that leverages peer-to-peer technology rather than cloud-based storage, while Intricuit is on site to demo its accessory that turns your MacBook into a touchscreen Mac, so you don't need to wait for Apple to launch its rumored touchscreen MacBook Pro later this year or next year. Dan also checked out Rokid's AI glasses, TDM's headphones that twist into a portable speaker, Antic's electric mini bike, Watchitude's AirTag-compatible watches for kids, and more, so watch the full video for a look at all of these products.

It has long been an open secret that John Ternus is a leading candidate to succeed Tim Cook as Apple CEO, following more than fourteen years at the helm.

Today, The New York Times adds to that narrative with a detailed profile of Ternus that positions him as a front-runner while also outlining several alternative internal succession paths. more…05:16 pmJohn Ternus Again Profiled as Apple's Likely Next CEO
With Tim Cook having recently turned 65 years old and a number of other senior Apple executives having already departed in recent months or heading for the exits, there has been significant focus on Apple's plans for who will succeed Cook as CEO. Several recent reports have identified Apple's senior vice president of hardware engineering, John Ternus, as likely to be named the next Apple CEO, and The New York Times has now shared a profile of Ternus with some context on his expertise and how he is viewed within the company. According to sources who spoke to The New York Times, Apple began accelerating its planning for Tim Cook's succession last year, with Cook having expressed a desire to reduce his workload. While software chief Craig Federighi, services chief Eddy Cue, marketing head Greg Joswiak, and retail/HR chief Deirdre O'Brien have all reportedly been seen as potential candidates, Ternus "appears to have shot to the front of the pack," with Cook likely to remain as chairman of the company's board of directors. Ternus is known for his expertise as an engineer, having worked on many of Apple's devices although he is "known more for maintaining products than developing new ones." Ternus also has only limited exposure to dealing with political and policy issues that come with CEO role."He's a nice guy," [former Apple engineer Cameron] Rogers said. "He's someone you want to hang out with. Everyone loves him because he's great. Has he made any hard decisions? No. Are there hard problems he's solved in hardware? No."Ternus and others may quibble with that assessment, however, as Ternus has been involved with a number of innovative products over the years, including spearheading the effort to develop the iPhone Air and working on the upcoming foldable iPhone. Ternus is seen as a natural successor to Cook, with an even temperament, strong attention to detail, and intimate knowledge of Apple's supply chain. But he may not bring the visionary focus and willingness to take risks that Steve Jobs had, leading to debate among Apple employees about exactly what type of leader is needed.

Google today made three Gmail AI features free for all personal account holders in the United States, removing the subscription requirement that previously locked them behind its Google AI Pro or Ultra tiers. "Help Me Write" allows users to enter prompts to draft entire emails from scratch. Like Apple Intelligence's Writing Tools, Help Me Write includes refinement options like Formalize, Elaborate, and Shorten, and users can also apply Polish to messages they've already written. The feature is available on the web, Android, and iOS, and can be accessed by tapping the pen icon with an AI spark badge. Gmail is also rolling out personalized Suggested Replies, an evolution of Smart Replies that goes beyond generic responses. The feature analyzes conversation context and matches a user's writing tone and style. For example, if a colleague asks about rescheduling a meeting for another day, Suggested Replies can draft an initial response that reflects how the user typically communicates, after which it can be reviewed before sending. The third newly free feature is AI summaries for long email threads. When opening a lengthy conversation, an AI Overview card may appear at the top with a bulleted summary of points discussed. All three features are rolling out today to personal account users in the U.S., with global availability coming later. The changes come amid Google's preview of a new "AI Inbox" feature arriving in the next few months. The redesigned view will appear as a new option alongside the traditional inbox, offering a personalized briefing that surfaces important information without requiring users to open individual messages. Google's AI Inbox also includes a "Suggested to-dos" section highlighting bills, reminders, and short-term tasks, along with "Topics to catch up on" that provides context for messages that are important but not immediately actionable. The feature is currently available to Trusted Testers and will roll out more broadly later this year, according to Google.Tag: GmailThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums01:42 pmYour Mac and iPad just got a secret Wi-Fi boost–here’s how to start using it
Macworld Those who own a Mac or iPad and would like to improve their device’s Wi-Fi speed are in luck. Apple has released free software updates for numerous models in both product lines that offer exactly this. iPadOS 26.2 and macOS Tahoe 26.2 were rolled out midway through December, but this feature wasn’t noticed at the time. Only now has it been spotted that they contain an improvement to Wi-Fi performance. As spotted by MacRumors and confirmed by updated tech specs in an Apple support document, iPads and Macs equipped with Wi-Fi 6E are now capable of a maximum channel bandwidth of 160MHz when connected to 5GHz Wi-Fi. That’s double the previous limit of 80MHz, and matches what was already offered on 6GHz networks (which are far less common, and require newer router hardware). In other words, you can now get the smooth streaming, speedy file transfers, and other benefits of 6GHz’s higher bandwidth limit, without the difficulties of actually connecting to 6GHz. Fortunately, plenty of iPads and Macs support Wi-Fi 6E. The iPad Pro M2 and later, the iPad Air M2 and later, and the iPad mini A17 Pro all do so. As do the MacBook Pro M2 (Pro/Max) and later, the MacBook Air M3 and later, the iMac M3 and later, the Mac mini M2 and later, and the Mac Studio M2 (Max/Ultra) and later. Owners of a standard iPad miss out, as do Mac Pro users, though anyone using one probably has it hooked up to an Ethernet cable anyway. iPhone 16 and 17 models already support this higher bandwidth, as well as the iPhone 15 Pro. Not to mention that the software updates contain other new features and tweaks that are worth having. macOS Tahoe 26.2, for example, adds a new ‘Edge Light’ for improved video calls and brings new AI features to the Mac Studio. iPadOS 26.2, meanwhile, is packed with critical security updates, including a pair of zero-day WebKit flaws. To update iPadOS on your iPad, open the Settings app and go to General > Software Update. The system will tell you if any new updates are available; if there are, simply follow the instructions to install them. On Mac, open System Settings and go to General > Software Update.01:30 pmBest laptop stands for Apple MacBook Pro and MacBook Air
Macworld Apple’s MacBooks are great, but—as with all laptops—using one isn’t that great for your back or neck. Continual bowing of the head to see a screen can lead to a stiff neck and what doctors scarily call spinal stenosis, which can compress blood vessels and displace nerves—cutting off blood supply to the brain. That’s not a good thing. Your screen should be at a comfortable height that doesn’t make you bend your neck down to see it. Try to make sure your eyes are in line with the screen while sitting with a straight back. This also helps when making video calls, so the other people aren’t staring up your nostrils. Using a laptop stand also makes using a separate keyboard and mouse much easier. See our roundups of the best Mac keyboards and best Mac mouse. And, after use, you can hide away your keyboard under the raised stand on certain models. Some stands raise the laptop to eye level, and others—known as “vertical” or “closed” stands—just keep the MacBook closed for minimal desk disruption if you have connected external displays to increase your screen size—learn how to set up a second screen for a Mac. The eye-level, open laptop stands are more ergonomic, raising the MacBook screen so that you are not straining your neck muscles, shoulders and back. It should also reduce screen glare, which means less eye strain and fewer headaches. On such a stand, the MacBook’s webcam will also be at a more natural level with your head, meaning less video calls with people looking up your nose or down on your head. Buy a vertical/closed laptop stand to keep your desk tidy and free up space for other stuff—be that a charger for your iPhone, backup hard disk, or a cup of coffee. Both types of stand should also raise the laptop, raising it off the desk and keeping it cooler. If a laptop gets too hot, its performance is likely to suffer. A laptop stand also works nicely with a MacBook docking station, which can multiply the number of ports and slots available to you and allow for multiple larger displays. Some stands even have their own integrated USB-C hub, which is a very clever addition. We’ve rounded up the best laptop stands for MacBook that we can find, each with its own special features. Most mimic the clean metal lines of the MacBook range, while others think differently. Twelve South Curve Flex – Most stylish flexible MacBook stand Pros Stylish Multiple height and tilt settings Portable Cons Expensive Price When Reviewed: $79.99 Best Prices Today: Retailer Price $79.99 View Deal Twelve South $79.99 View Deal Check Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket Many laptop stands are rigid and offers little flexibility. The Cuve Flex, from premium accessory maker Twelve South, remedies this limitation with both height and tilt adjustability. It can elevate your MacBook screen and camera up to 22 inches (56cm) so it can be close to eye level and aligned with an external screen if you have one. This flexibility is better for your neck, back and eyes. You can angle the MacBook’s keyboard from 0 to 45 degrees. The Curve Flex is not just flexible; it’s portable, too. It weighs 28oz (795g), folds flat and comes with a padded neoprene travel sleeve. While it costs more than the original fixed-position Curve and even cheaper Curve SE (reviewed below), and indeed many of the MacBook stands tested here, the flexibility and portability justify the extra expense.

A quality laptop stand will do just that for you. One of our favorites is the Curve from premium Mac accessory maker Twelve South. A recent addition to the Curve family—see also the Curve Flex reviewed above—is the slightly cheaper Curve SE, which is exactly the same as the original fixed Curve but you need to assemble the three pieces yourself. Don’t worry, it’s super easy to snap the pieces together, and actually makes the stand easier to transport. For ultimate portability, though, the more adjustable Curve Flex folds down to a handy package. The Curve SE and original Curve stands are not as flexible as their adjustable sibling, the Curve Flex, although they do raise your MacBook 6.5 inches off your desk so you can sit up straight and look directly at your screen—and so feel less tension in your neck and shoulders. They also keep your laptop cool with air flowing underneath it. The metal design features non-slip silicone grips on the bottom and arms. Both Curve and Curve SE look fantastic, just like your MacBook. While the pre-assembled Curve is available in Apple-friendly matte black and white, the Curve SE is in Silver only.

The HiRise Pro is height-adjustable—raising the screen 2.5 to 6 inches—and also features a hidden cut-out chamber that can invisibly host Apple’s MagSafe Charger (not included, and an extra $39/£39) at the stand’s base so you can wirelessly charge (at up to 15W) an iPhone (12, 13, 14 or 15), 25W on the iPhone 16, or your AirPods (at 5W) if in a wireless charging case. This will keep your desk space at a maximum while always having your iPhone within reach. The stand is height adjustable, although it doesn’t reach the heights of some of the MacBook stand tested here. There’s a screw at the back that you adjust to the best height for your setup. It is compatible with all sizes of Apple’s MacBooks, up to 16 inches. An alternative is the Alogic Elite Power Laptop Stand with Wireless Charger, which we have reviewed. This can raise the laptop 8 inches and has a Qi wireless charging pad at its base. While you don’t need to supply your own MagSafe Charger, the stand’s pad isn’t magnetic so you have to be very precise in positioning your phone. It also maxes out at 7.5W rather than MagSafe’s 15W charging power.

The connection is USB-C rather than Thunderbolt so doesn’t offer the full bandwidth but it is still compatible with modern MacBooks. Some rival hub/stand combos don’t include the built-in cable so you need to use another of your laptop’s Thunderbolt ports to keep it charged, but the Hyperdrive stand connects to your MacBook (13-16in) using its own integrated USB-C cable, leaving the separate USB-C port on the hub free for other devices or more likely a USB-C PD wall charger.

Macworld The browser is one of the most-used apps on the Mac, and for a lot of users like me, it’s a key productivity tool. A majority of what I do for work involves web-based apps and tools, all accessed through my browser. As I write this article, for example, I’m using a browser that’s connected to the content management system for Macworld. I also have a number of windows open to resources, references, and numerous sources for the stories I need to write. I’ve been using Google Chrome for the past couple of years. I switched from Safari because I got tired of the memory management issues that Apple never seems to fix. A month ago, Google introduced a new feature that I absolutely love–I may never go back to Safari on my Mac. Two different websites appear in one tab. That’s the beauty of Google Chrome Split View.Foundry That Chrome feature is called Split View. It lets you see two websites within a single tab. It sounds simple, and it is, but it’s made work so much more manageable. For example, I can have our CMS with an article I’m working on on one side, and a company’s website that I’m using for fact-checking on the other. In the past, I either had separate tabs that I clicked between, or two different browser windows opened and carefully placed side by side. The new Split View means I don’t have to worry about managing those tabs and windows anymore. When using Split View, just move your pointer to the website you want to use, and it’s immediately active. The tab itself is split, so if you decide to close one of the sites, all you have to do is click on the appropriate “x” within the tab. If you press Command+W, the site that you are using will close, and the other will stay open. If you’re using Chrome and want to give it a try, first, you have to have the latest version of Chrome. You can do this in Chrome; go to Chrome > Settings > About Chrome, and you can update the app. After that, there are two ways to use Split View. How to use Split View One tab open. When you have a single tab open, and you want to split it and open a second website. Control-click the tab and select Add Tab to New Split View. The window will be split into two. To open the website you want in the new space, click it and then enter a URL in the box or select a bookmark. Foundry Multiple tabs open while on active tab. If you have multiple tabs open, you can Control-click on the tab of the site you are currently on, select Add Tab to New Split View and in the second pane, a list of the other tabs that are open appears. Select the one you want, and it will load. Foundry Multiple tabs open on inactive tab. If you have multiple tabs open and Control-click on an inactive tab, you’ll find an option for New Split View with Current Tab. When you select this, the tab that is active combines with the inactive tab you are clicking on. Foundry01:07 pmThe Smartlet dual watch band is the most ridiculous Apple Watch accessory yet

Apple Music is now available as an extension within ChatGPT, meaning you can search for songs, create playlists, and discover new music through OpenAI's chatbot. Here's how to set it up and what makes it worth using. What You Can Do With Apple Music in ChatGPT ChatGPT's integration with Apple Music has the potential to change how you discover new music by letting you describe what you're looking for in natural language. Instead of typing specific search terms like you would in Apple Music, you can ask the chatbot for "upbeat 80s songs for a road trip" or "calm instrumental music for studying," and ChatGPT will understand the context and mood you're after. You can even combine multiple criteria, like "jazz fusion tracks under five minutes with prominent saxophone," and ChatGPT will accurately unearth what you're looking for in ways that standard keyword searches simply aren't capable of achieving. You can request custom playlists based on specific criteria, ask for song recommendations, or explore music by decade, genre, or artist. And once ChatGPT creates a playlist, you can preview each track, and save the playlist directly to your Apple Music library with the option "Create Playlist in Apple Music." You can also save individual tracks using the + buttons. The Apple Music extension requires a ChatGPT account and works with both free and paid ChatGPT tiers. You don't need an Apple Music subscription to search the catalog, generate playlists, or listen to 30-second preview clips, but you will need an active subscription if you want to save content to your library. How to Connect Apple Music to ChatGPT Before you can start discovering new music with the help of AI, you'll need to connect Apple's streaming service using ChatGPT's extension. You only need to do it once. Open the ChatGPT app and tap your profile in the sidebar. Under "Account" settings, tap Apps. Tap Browse Apps, then choose Apple Music in the extensions library. Tap Connect, then choose Connect Apple Music. Follow the on-screen prompts to sign into your Apple Account and permit the access request. If you're on desktop, you can perform the same steps in the ChatGPT app for Mac. Alternatively, go to https://chatgpt.com/apps in a browser and open the Apps section in ChatGPT – you'll find the Apple Music extension there. Once connected, the extension remains active across your devices signed into the same ChatGPT account. One More Thing Apple Music extension in ChatGPT's "Apps" section ChatGPT can search Apple Music's catalog and create playlists, but it can't access your listening history or existing playlists. The integration only has permission to add songs to your library, so your personal data stays private.

The M5 MacBook Pro launched in October 2025 and now is a great time to buy one.Foundry Now is a good time to buy a new MacBook Pro if you are looking for the entry-level model or want to find a significant discount on a more powerful, slightly older version. Apple released the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the new M5 chip in October 2025, and it offers a great combination of price, performance, and features and we are seeing some great discounts, though not quite as large as they were during Black Friday. For the more powerful M4 Pro and M4 Max models, the decision is more nuanced. These laptops are over a year old, and Apple is expected to release the MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips in the spring of 2026 – in fact we are already seeing low stock on some models. However, these older models are seeing discounts making them ideal for those requiring high-end power on a budget. Just keep in mind that price may drop further on the M4 Pro and Max models when M5 Pro and Max launch, as reseller clear out the old stock. In the case of the M4 Pro and M4 Max MacBook Pro, our recommendations are: Buy now if: You need maximum power immediately. Retailers have been offering substantial price cuts on the M4 Pro and M4 Max models, with savings ranging from $300 to $500, making them excellent value for workstation-level performance. Wait if: You want the absolute latest and greatest performance and are not in a hurry. The upcoming M5 Pro and M5 Max chips are expected to be significant upgrades over the M4 series. If you can wait even longer, rumors suggest the M6 generation in 2026 may bring even bigger changes, like an OLED touchscreen and a new design, but that won’t happen for a while. Which MacBook Pro to buy The choice of which MacBook depends a lot on how much you have to spend.Foundry When deciding on a MacBook Pro, it’s important to understand the performance hierarchy. The M4 Pro and M4 Max models are for a completely different user than the standard M5 MacBook Pro. While the M5 chip is from a newer generation, the M4 Pro offers more CPU and GPU cores, supports more memory, and includes more advanced ports like Thunderbolt 5. 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 chip: This is the newest entry-level model, launched in October 2025. It’s considered a chip refresh but delivers significant performance gains, particularly in graphics and SSD speeds, over the previous M4 generation. The 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M5 chip is designed for users who need more sustained performance than a MacBook Air can offer but don’t require the top-tier power of the M4 Pro or M4 Max models. It strikes a balance of price, performance, and premium features, making it the best MacBook for most people as of late 2025. However, this stance may change once the MacBook Air gains an M5 chip. 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Pro and M4 Max chips: For the most demanding professional work, the M4 Pro and M4 Max models, released in October 2024, still provide superior power, despite the arrival of the M5 at the entry-level. The Pro and Max iterations offer more power, more ports (including Thunderbolt 5), and are aimed at professionals with demanding workflows. These MacBooks are ideal for creative professionals (such as high-end video creators, digital artists, illustrators, photographers, 3D animators); technical professionals (programmers, designers, and software developers) and power users who needs more “oomph” for movie editing or gaming. There is another element to the decision. Both the M4 Pro and M4 Max are available in both 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, which offer similar specifications but differ in screen size and battery life. To determine which would suite you best consider the following: The 14-inch M4 Pro/Max is best for those who value portability, work frequently on the road, or primarily use an external monitor at their desk. It offers up to 22 hours of battery life. The 16-inch M4 Pro/Max is the choice for users who need a large, powerful screen on the go and the best possible battery life, which is rated at up to 24 hours. One final factor in the decision is whether you are prepared to wait for an update. The M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pros are anticipated for spring 2026.

While Indian regulators prepare to fine Apple for alleged antitrust practices in the App Store, they have also been arguing against the company's attempts to limit any potential fine.India's CCI denies Apple's attempt to reduce potential finesIn 2021, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) launched an investigation into Apple's App Store practices, after a complaint from the "Together We Fight Society" (TWFS) group. By July 2024, the CCI found that Apple has "significant influence" over digital services and products.Since then, Apple has been arguing against the CCI's findings, but at the same time has worked to cut the potential fines that are yet to be decided. According to Reuters, in November 2025, Apple asked New Delhi judges to intervene.

Macworld Every January, people pledge to make certain changes to their lifestyle in the year ahead—typically by adopting healthier habits and quitting harmful ones. Breaking existing routines and building new ones can be challenging, however, as our brains often rely on reward systems and other mechanisms to disrupt long-standing patterns. Fortunately, iOS offers a range of native features designed to help users stay committed to their New Year’s resolutions. Screen Time In an era dominated by TikToks, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, many users struggle to put their smartphones aside. The short video format is highly addictive, often leading to long doomscrolling sessions. If minimizing short video consumption (and the consequent brain rot) is one of your goals for 2026, iOS can assist. Screen Time is a native, system-level iPhone feature that can count the minutes (or hours) you spend using individual apps. If the alarmingly high durations don’t motivate you enough to curb your social media use, you could set daily limits. These bar you from using a certain app or category of apps after you hit the chosen time limit. Screen Time lets you bypass its limits with a dedicated PIN. As such, it may be wise to ask a trusted friend, family member, or partner to set the code. By doing so, you won’t be able to easily circumvent these restrictions on your own. Foundry Fitness Taking exercise more seriously is one of the popular goals people set every year. Whether you’re on a tight budget or seeking a premium offering, iOS can push you to become more active. Your iPhone includes a free Fitness app that can estimate the number of steps and distance you walk/run on a given day, along with the active calories you burn. The service also lets you record various workout types and share your activity with friends to motivate each other. To make the most of it, you may want to subscribe to Apple Fitness+. The paid service bundles a ton of guided workout videos that you can watch on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV 4K. Some of the workouts include HIIT, yoga, kickboxing, strength, core, and Pilates. If you want to maximize health data collection, you could also buy an Apple Watch. Once set up, you’ll unlock even more Fitness features, like stand goals and competitions with friends. That’s not to mention heart rate monitoring throughout the day. Alternatively, you could opt for the AirPods Pro 3, which can also measure your heartbeat during workouts. The earbuds (on their own) won’t unlock the aforementioned Fitness app perks, however. Foundry Journal Taking care of your mental health can be as crucial as staying physically fit. If introspection happens to be one of your 2026 resolutions, your iPhone can help you reflect and write down core thoughts. Beyond the Fitness+ meditation sessions, Apple offers its Journal app on iOS. Apple Journal is a twenty-first-century diary that, with your permission, tracks your everyday digital behavior. It’s aware of the photos you take, streamed songs, recorded workouts, and other activities and interactions. Journal optionally displays the relevant data tiles and prompts you to write about them. This helps you document a certain day and tie key memories to relevant music tracks, photos, or locations—it’s therapeutic. Journal is also available on iPadOS and macOS, so you can type longer entries on a larger display or using a physical keyboard, if you wish. Reading Goals New Year’s resolutions often include reading more books or learning a new skill. As you may have guessed, your iPhone can also assist with that. Apple Books is a built-in e-book reader, featuring a comprehensive library of free and paid titles. Whether you want to learn how to code, read about WWII, or just immerse yourself in a hopeless romantic’s virtual reality, it’s all there. Thanks to the integrated Reading Goals feature, you can set daily targets and record the time you spend reading. If you’ve got bookworm friends, you could also generate digital cards to visualize your progress and share them via iMessage or third-party apps. It’s worth noting that Apple Books supports audiobooks, too. So, if you’re more of a listener than a reader, you could learn something new by playing supported books or opting for podcasts in the dedicated Apple Podcasts app. Foundry Focus While Screen Time is highly effective for increasing your productivity, notifications can still disrupt your chain of thought. Fortunately, iOS offers an extensive do-not-disturb system, known as Focus, which can selectively mute calls and app alerts. For instance, you can create a Focus mode dedicated to work and set it to automatically activate on weekdays from 9 to 5. You could allow-list apps like Slack, Teams, and Meet while muting the rest. That’s not to mention the ability to tie different Home Screen layouts to specific Focus modes, which would conceal distracting app icons and widgets during work hours. The possibilities are endless. Foundry Reminders The Reminders app is often used for keeping track of appointments and making grocery lists. Its utility, however, can extend beyond that by actively reminding you about the habits you’re newly building. For example, if you’re aiming to drink more water in 2026, you can set a recurring reminder that alerts you throughout the day.11:07 amError for logged out viewers when accessing videos
Jan 8, 06:00 ESTUpdate - We are continuing to investigate this issue.Jan 8, 05:57 ESTInvestigating - We are currently investigating this issue.10:56 am10 Reasons to Wait for This Year's iPhone 18 Pro
Apple's iPhone development roadmap runs several years into the future and the company is continually working with suppliers on several successive iPhone models at the same time, which is why we often get rumored features months ahead of launch. The iPhone 18 series is no different, and we already have a good idea of what to expect for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. One thing worth noting is that Apple is reportedly planning a major change to its iPhone release cycle this year, adopting a two-phase rollout starting with the iPhone 18 series. That means the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Fold will be released in September 2026, followed by the iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e in spring 2027. Overall Design iPhone 17 Pro Style Rumors suggest the iPhone 18 Pro lineup will largely retain the same design as the iPhone 17 Pro models. The rear camera system will look identical to the current generation, featuring a raised "plateau" with three lenses arranged in a triangle. Display sizes are also expected to remain unchanged, with the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max continuing to use 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch panels, respectively – the same dimensions introduced with the iPhone 16 Pro series. iPhone 18 Pro models could drop the current two-tone look of the rear casing found on the iPhone 17 Pro in favor of a more seamless aesthetic. For the next-generation models, Apple has apparently updated the back-glass "replacement process" to minimize the color difference between the Ceramic Shield 2 glass and the aluminum frame, resulting in a more unified appearance. Thicker Chassis Bigger Battery? According to one rumor, the body of the iPhone 18 Pro Max will be slightly thicker than the iPhone 17 Pro Max, raising the device's weight to around 243 grams. That would make the iPhone 18 Pro Max approximately 3 grams more than the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which is currently the heaviest model Apple has produced. We don't know the exact reason for the alleged thicker design of the iPhone 18 Pro Max, but a larger battery is the most likely cause. Smaller Dynamic Island Under-Screen Face ID? Rumors continue to circulate about whether the iPhone 18 Pro models will introduce under-display Face ID, but reports remain divided on when the technology will actually arrive. The feature would move the TrueDepth camera system beneath the display, eliminating the need for the current Dynamic Island cutout. According to Wayne Ma of The Information, Apple is targeting a design without a Dynamic Island, replacing it with a single pinhole camera in the upper-left corner of the screen. However, other sources dispute that claim. Display analyst Ross Young believes under-display Face ID is possible for the iPhone 18 Pro, but says a smaller Dynamic Island will still be present. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has echoed this view, reporting that the new models will feature a slimmed-down Dynamic Island rather than removing it entirely. Apple is also said to be testing new camera miniaturization technology to reduce the size of the front-facing camera currently located within the Dynamic Island. Meanwhile, Chinese leaker Instant Digital has offered yet another version of events, saying the Dynamic Island will shrink in size, but that under-display Face ID and camera technology won't debut next year. Overall, the consensus suggests Apple may be refining the Dynamic Island before fully transitioning to an all-screen design in future generations. A20 Pro Chip 2nm Process The iPhone 18 Pro models will use Apple's A20 chip, based on TSMC's 2nm process for power and efficiency improvements. A move to 2nm fabrication increases transistor density, which will enable higher performance. The A20 series is expected to deliver roughly a 15 percent speed gain and about 30 percent better efficiency compared with the A19 series used in Apple's iPhone 17 models. Apple's A20 chip will be packaged with TSMC's Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Module (WMCM) technology, suggesting at least some A20 chips will have RAM integrated directly onto the same wafer as the CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine, rather than sitting adjacent to the chip and connected via a silicon interposer. This could contribute to faster performance for both overall tasks and Apple Intelligence, and longer battery life from improved power efficiency. C2 Modem Replacing Qualcomm Apple plans to include its next-generation C2 modem in the iPhone 18 Pro models, according to supply chain analyst Jeff Pu. The chip will succeed the C1 modem, which debuted in the lower-cost iPhone 16e as Apple's first in-house cellular modem, and the C1X modem chip in the iPhone Air, which Apple says is up to 2× faster than the C1. The C2 is expected to bring faster speeds, improved power efficiency, and support for mmWave 5G in the United States – a feature missing from the C1 and C1X. Apple's modem roadmap is part of a long-term strategy to reduce reliance on Qualcomm, which currently supplies 5G modems for the rest of the iPhone lineup. The company has been working on developing its own cellular chips for years, aiming for deeper integration and greater control over power management and performance. New Camera Sensor Samsung-Made Samsung is working on a new three-layer stacked image sensor, reportedly intended for the iPhone 18. The sensor, referred to as PD-TR-Logic, integrates three layers of circuitry, which would improve camera responsiveness, reduce noise, and increase dynamic range. The leak comes from a source known as "Jukanlosreve," who claims the sensor is being developed specifically for Apple's 2026 iPhone lineup. Sony has long been Apple's sole image sensor supplier, so Samsung's entry would be a big shift in the iPhone's camera supply chain. Variable Aperture DSLR-Style Apple intends to equip this year's iPhone 18 Pro models with a variable aperture lens, according to reports. Weibo-based leaker Digital Chat Station claims the main rear camera – what Apple calls the 48-megapixel Fusion camera – on both iPhone 18 Pro models will offer variable aperture, which would be a first for the iPhone. A variable-aperture system physically adjusts the lens opening, letting more light in for low-light shots or narrowing the opening for brighter scenes and deeper depth of field. The main cameras on the iPhone 15 Pro, 16 Pro, and 17 Pro all use a fixed ƒ/1.78 aperture, where the lens is permanently set to its widest setting. With a variable lens, the iPhone 18 Pro would allow users to manually shift the aperture, similar to on a DSLR camera. This would mean more control over depth of field, enabling sharper focus on subjects or smoother background blur. Industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said in November 2024 that Apple's iPhone 18 Pro models will get the feature. 5G Satellite Internet Non-Terrestrial Data According to a report by The Information, Apple plans to add support for 5G networks that operate via satellites rather than Earth-based towers as early as next year. This advancement would allow future iPhones to gain full internet connectivity through satellite, not just limited emergency features. If Apple meets the 2026 target, the first devices to feature 5G satellite internet would likely be the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the long-rumored foldable iPhone. Apple partners with Globalstar for its iPhone satellite features, but there is currently no service that delivers full 5G satellite internet directly to a smartphone, and the report did not specify who would supply it. Simplified Camera Control New Design Apple is reportedly working to simplify the Camera Control button's design on iPhone 18 models in order to reduce costs. The current Camera Control button on iPhone 17 models uses both capacitive and pressure sensors beneath a sapphire crystal surface. The capacitive layer detects touch gestures, while the force sensor recognizes different pressure levels for taps, presses, and swipes. However, according to the Weibo-based account Instant Digital, Apple will remove the capacitive sensing layer and retain only pressure sensing recognition in the second iteration to achieve all Camera Control functions on the iPhone 18. The simplified version is not about reducing functionality in the button, but about saving money. The current solution is said to be very expensive for Apple and is generating costly after-sales repairs. New Colors Three in Testing Apple is rumored to be testing three new color options for the iPhone 18 Pro models: burgundy, brown, and purple. A burgundy finish would mark the first time the Pro and Pro Max models have been offered in any shade of red, apart from the lighter (PRODUCT)RED used on earlier devices. The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max were previously available in Deep Purple, and Apple has never released an iPhone in a genuinely brown color.Related Roundup: iPhone 18Related Forum: iPhoneThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums09:55 amiPhone 17, 17 Pro, Max, and iPhone Air: Get the best deals right here

You don’t have to buy the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, or Pro Max, or the iPhone Air, directly from Apple, all the major carriers will offer you one on contract.

And, if you are shopping from the U.K., resellers, including Amazon, will sell you an unlocked iPhone at a good discount. If you aren’t sure which new iPhone to buy, we compare every iPhone in a separate article. You can also find deals on other iPhones here: Best iPhone Deals. Best iPhone 17 deals in the U.S. The iPhone 17 is available in a bunch of gorgeous colors, has a larger display, and features a new A19 chip. It has a ton of upgrades over the iPhone 16, including a 48MP ultra-wide camera, an 18MP Center Stage selfie cam, ProMotion display with always-on, longer battery life, and twice the starting storage at 256GB. In the U.S. an unlocked iPhone 17 has a starting price of $829 at Apple, but you can get up to $700 off with a trade-in (though most people will get around $400). You will also get an extra $30 discount if you activate the phone with one of the available carriers — AT&T, Boost Mobile, T-Mobile, or Verizon. All in all, you’ll save hundreds on the price as long as you have a new-ish phone to trade in. One of the easiest ways to get the new iPhone is directly from your carrier. AT&T: You can get up to $830 off the iPhone 17 when you trade in an eligible iPhone. The savings transform into monthly credits on your bill for the next 36 months. T-Mobile: The carrier offers the iPhone 17 for free when you switch to T-Mobile and add a line on the Experience plans. The money transforms into bill credits spread over the next 24 months.

Best Buy: Prices start at $830 with AT&T or Verizon activation. Up to $375 in trade-in. Best iPhone 17 deals in the U.K. It’s a different story in the U.K. where there are fewer limitations on the sale of iPhones, so you will be able to pick one up unlocked at a discount if you would prefer to buy an iPhone up front, rather than on a contract. The deals tend to be on the older iPhones: we’re seeing £100 off the iPhone 16e at Amazon, for example.

Macworld Here at Macworld we’re extremely fond of Apple’s AirTag, which is a great Bluetooth tracker for an iPhone or Mac user. However, one complaint raised in our AirTag review was that it doesn’t have an attachment (or keyring) hole, which means you’re forced in most situations to buy an accessory to put it in. Want to attach it to your keys? You need to buy a special key ring. Want to attach it to your luggage? Special luggage label. An ecosystem has quickly sprung up offering straps, loops, pet tags, cases and holders for AirTag owners. UPDATE: The standard AirTag isn’t the only tracker in town that works with Apple’s Find My app. There are now many and varied trackers that work just like an AirTag and sync as items in your Find My app: flat cards, wallets, keychains, glasses cases, passport holders and many more. Check out the best Apple Find My trackers that offer more than even the AIrTag. But if you own an Apple AirTag, which accessories are worth buying? We’ve been testing out all the AirTags accessories we can get our hands on, so we can help you find the best AirTag holder for your needs from key rings, luggage tags, wallets and more. Best AirTag Key Rings Apple AirTag FineWoven Key Ring Pros Made by Apple Cons Fabric can scuff Price When Reviewed: $35 Best Prices Today: Retailer Price $24.95 View Deal $29.95 View Deal $35 View Deal $35 View Deal $35 View Deal $36.55 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide View more prices Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket There are cheaper alternatives, but this is the classic AirTag key ring—replacing the previous Apple Leather Key Ring, now that Apple has gone fully vegan in honor of its legendary co-founder Steve Jobs. It’s light, attractive and reassuringly well-made. It’s easy to put the AirTag inside, but the metal popper won’t let it escape. And we love the large, chunky (but quite flat) ring, although we’d recommend testing it out in a shop if you’re planning on attaching car keys with a small aperture. This reviewer’s Nissan and Skoda keys were both a tight fit. The fabric covering protects the AirTag’s edge from drop damage but leaves most of its chassis, both front and back, open to the elements and liable to scuff a little—a complaint publicly made about Apple’s FineWoven iPhone cases. We think this is worth it for the pleasing look, and scuffing is both inevitable and minor, but if you want total protection you’ll need to look elsewhere. It’s available in five colors: Black, Deep Blue, Blackberry, Dark Green and Chartreuse–David Price OtterBox Rugged Case for AirTag Pros Super protective Cons Larger than most Price When Reviewed: $19.95 Best Prices Today: Retailer Price $10.99 View Deal $19.95 View Deal OtterBox $19.95 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket OtterBox is a company known for its ultra-protective phone cases, and its Rugged Case for AirTag continues this tradition, as its name suggests.

OtterBox also has a Rugged Passport Series of the Rugged Case that is styled with the coordinates of iconic cities, such as New York, London, Paris and Tokyo.–Simon Jary Nomad AirTag Keyrings Pros Range of AirTag keychain options Price When Reviewed: From $15 Best Prices Today: Retailer Price Nomad $15 View Deal Check Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket Available in black and white, the Nomad Rugged Keychain is built with a polycarbonate frame and TPU overmold, and ships with two enclosure options: a closed back option and an open speaker option. It is rated IP66 for water and dust resistance. With a Rustic Brown option, the Nomad Leather Keychain carries your AirTag in a good-looking, thermoformed, American Horween Leather holder. Over time, the raw, vegetable-tanned leather will patina to create a unique lived-in look. Adding a third available Natural (tan) color, the Nomad Leather Loop for AirTag is a Horween leather loop that attaches to your AirTag with a powerful 3M adhesive.

The Caseology Vault is made from military-grade thermoplastic polyurethane, with a nicely grippy sandstone finish that makes it less prone to drops.

It’s just as happy tracking rucksacks as keys.–David Price Best AirTag luggage tags and locks Apple AirTag Loop Pros Made by Apple Price When Reviewed: $29 Best Prices Today: Retailer Price $13 View Deal $17.4 View Deal $29 View Deal $29.99 View Deal $34.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide View more prices Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket Although it now looks to be discontinued you can still find Apple’s fine AirTag Loop on sale. It is made of polyurethane and feels and looks smart, with two of the color options (Electric Orange and Sunflower) particularly bright and cheerful. This will also help you to spot your suitcase on the conveyor belt. The AirTag clips in using a metal clasp that’s easy to use and secure; you then put the strap around your luggage’s handle and loop the head part back through the slit in the tail. It looks slightly delicate at first glance–the strap gets quite thin at a certain point–but proved resistant to moderate tugging and should be fine under non-military usage conditions. Like Apple’s key ring, it protects the edges of the AirTag but not the center of its two faces, so expect some scuffing.–David Price Belkin Secure Holder with Strap or Wire Cable for AirTag Pros Feels more secure than Apple ring Cons Plastic feel Price When Reviewed: $12.95 Best Prices Today: Retailer Price $10.99 View Deal $12.9 View Deal $12.95 View Deal Belkin $12.99 View Deal $38.81 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide View more prices Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket Belkin’s Secure Holder is available with a simple skinny rope or with a more robust tough wire cable. As with Apple’s key ring, both faces of the AirTag are left exposed, but the plastic surround sticks out more and thus provides more drop protection. Attach either to your favorite gear, from a water bottle to your laptop bag or backpack. One model, with Strap, has a robust string for attaching it to the handle of a suitcase or bag. Like the strap-style loops provided by other manufacturers this threads back through itself to easily attach to your luggage. The other Wire Cable version is reassuringly robust, and looks tough with its wire cable that includes a hex key to lock the AirTag in place. While the cable version is in black or white, the strap model is available in a range of additional colors, including blue and pink, white.–Simon Jary Casetify Customisable AirTag Holder Pros Colorful design options Price When Reviewed: $29 Best Prices Today: Retailer Price Casetify $29 View Deal Check Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket The principal appeal of Casetify’s AirTag holder is the sheer range of designs and colors you can choose from.

It even uses the same reusable battery as the AirTag. As with an AirTag you can play a sound to easily locate your AirLock, check the most recent location of your luggage and receive notifications if your AirLock is left behind—which might save you a cab ride back from the airport when you realize that you left your suitcase at the hotel. If your lugge gets lost by the airline or other travel operator you can activate Lost Mode in the Apple Find My app, Aside from the locator, the AirLock is an old-school physical zinc alloy padlock with P64 water resistanc, available in either black or silver.

If the Apple AirTag is just not right for you, check out these Bluetooth tracker recommended AirTag alternatives. What you can expect in an AirTag case Because the AirTag comes in a single variety, you don’t need to choose which kind to acquire. Apple sells them singly ($29) and in a four-pack ($99). Engraving is free. An AirTag regularly broadcasts 2.4GHz Bluetooth signals with an encrypted device ID for other Apple devices to pick up and relay along with those devices’ locations. The 2.4GHz band penetrates solid objects well, but case designers need to be mindful of materials that have the potential to block the signal. In our survey of AirTag cases, we didn’t find a case so far that had that design problem. AirTags also use ultrawideband (USB) technology for Precision Finding, exclusive to Apple’s own Find My items. Precision Finding lets an iPhone with UWB identify the direction and distance within inches when it’s within about 15 to 30 feet (4.5 to 9 m). Consider to what use you may put an AirTag to determine the features you want: Purpose: Cases exist in enough variety that you can find one designed as a luggage tag, another as a stylish keyring, and another to resist enormous amounts of damage. Figure out where you want to put the AirTag and match the case to it. Water resistance: Many cases feature some degree of water resistance, some using the IP rating that defines precisely how much. If you’re using an AirTag outside or on a pet’s collar, you may want one with a high degree of resistance. When attaching to a bag or keyring, it may seem less important or not important at all. Ring, clip, loop, or carabiner: Case makers offer many variants on attachments. Some include a simple hole to attach a keychain, while others incorporate a keychain as part of the product and may include a keyring. You can purchase multiple cases built into a carabiner, including one with a three-digit combination lock. You can also get a string or similar loop design, in which the case passes through a loop and pulls tight on a handle without a knot. Removable or adhesive: You might want an AirTag case that’s easy to move about or attach and reattach. Other cases include adhesive for semi-permanent fixed attachment. Hidden for theft recovery: Some cases are designed to hide an AirTag, making its presence less apparent and thus less likely to be discovered if stolen; others are obvious, such as in a keychain or luggage tag. Temper hideability with the knowledge that Apple’s anti-stalking features built into AirTag tech makes them discoverable to criminals with a smartphone.Shows the front: Conversely, some cases show off an AirTag, revealing its front where you might have had added custom engraving from Apple with an emoji or text. You might want to see that engraving to differentiate among AirTags you own. Cost: Cases generally cost from about $20 to $35—around the price of a single AirTag. However, there are outliers below $10 and above $40. It’s all about the function, ruggedness, and complexity of purpose. Some charge extra for style. How we test AirTag case features For each kind of case, we rated them based on specific features around which they were designed. These include: Easy to insert the AirTag for secure retention: Every case has a slightly different approach to getting an AirTag inside. Some cases have an elaborate locking procedure or require removing and restoring four tiny screws to preserve a waterproof seal. Others are simple as sliding the tag into a holding or popping it into a rubber ring. Attaches securely for attachable cases: We tested cases that market themselves as attachable at how well they succeed at that task. Cases may come with or be part of a keyring, carabiner, wrist strip, or pet collar, or may have an adhesive to stick on to objects, like the inside of luggage. Access for battery replacement: Apple expects an AirTag battery to last for about a year in everyday usage, which it defines as one case of Precision Finding and four tones played per day. A case should allow access that isn’t maddening for replacing the battery every several months to a year. Robust against bumps and bangs: Only a few kinds of cases can avoid the wear and tear of bumping against other objects. Most need to be constructed with that in mind. For cases exposed to other surfaces, we look at whether the materials and build quality give confidence in them provide lasting value. Blocks access to remove: A handful of cases provide a security element intended to prevent access to an AirTag without excessive force—the AirTag would have to be destroyed to remove it. We rate these cases on whether they seem able to prevent or deter everything but destruction.

Apple's annual "Back to School" or "Back to Uni" promotion has returned this week in Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, and South Korea. From January 6 through March 11, qualifying higher-education students and staff in these countries can receive a free or discounted accessory with the purchase of select Mac and iPad models, similar to previous promotions that launched in the United States and a number of other countries last June and July. For each device type, there is at least one accessory option available at no additional charge, with more expensive accessories available at reduced upgrade prices. For example, in Australia, qualified customers who purchase an iPad Air or iPad Pro can receive a free Apple Pencil Pro (A$199 value) or standard AirPods 4 (A$219 value). Customers can upgrade to AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation after paying an additional A$80 fee or a Magic Keyboard for an additional A$210–A$350 fee depending on model. iMac buyers can receive either AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation (A$299 value) at no additional charge or AirPods Pro 3 for an additional A$130 upgrade fee. MacBook Air and MacBook Pro buyers can receive free AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation, a Magic Mouse, a Magic Trackpad, or a Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad, or they can upgrade to AirPods Pro 3 for an additional A$130. In each country, the offer is available on Apple's online store, in the Apple Store app, and in person at Apple's retail stores where available. The offer can be combined with Apple's educational discounts on products, and AppleCare+ plans are up to 10% off for students.Tag: Back to School PromotionThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums02:33 amhow to handle verification step for in-app purchase?

Though it's been just a few months since iOS 26 launched, we're already hearing rumors about the next-generation version of iOS, iOS 27. iOS 27 will be introduced at Apple's June WWDC 2026 event before it launches in September 2026. We don't know all of the details about iOS 27 yet, but we do have some information about what to expect. "Snow Leopard" Update iOS 27 will apparently focus on bug fixes and under-the-hood improvements to boost performance rather than new features. It's been referred to as a "Snow Leopard" update, because that was a version of macOS that Apple famously claimed had "zero new features" because it was all about fixing the existing software. Apple engineers are reportedly going through iOS 26 to look for bloat, bugs, and any other issues impacting performance that can be fixed in iOS 27. iPhone Fold In 2026, Apple plans to launch the first foldable iPhone, a device rumors have taken to calling the iPhone Fold. The iPhone Fold is expected to have a ~5.4-inch display when folded, and a ~7.7-inch display when it's opened up like a book. It will be shorter and wider than other foldables on the market, with a 4:3 aspect ratio. At around 5.4 inches when closed, the iPhone Fold's outer display will be the smallest we've had since the iPhone 13 mini. With Apple going back to a smaller display and simultaneously introducing a 7.7-inch display that's larger than any iPhone display to date, we're going to need some updates to iOS. iOS 27 will focus on introducing new interfaces and experiences for a larger display and a display that shifts between multiple sizes. We haven't heard specifics on how Apple will tweak iOS to accommodate the iPhone Fold, but we could see some iPad-like options such as side bars and perhaps even multitasking views with support for multiple windows. Liquid Glass iOS 27 will likely include refinements for the Liquid Glass design that Apple introduced with iOS 26. There have already been some changes in the iOS 26.1 and iOS 26.2 updates, but iOS 27 will provide Apple with the opportunity to make larger adjustments to respond to customer feedback. Apple Intelligence We're supposed to get the much smarter version of Siri in an iOS 26.4 update planned for spring 2026, but it's likely even more Apple Intelligence capabilities will follow in iOS 27. We don't know specifics yet, but several existing Apple Intelligence features could expand to additional apps. Apple is also working on a "World Knowledge" Siri search feature that would provide information on general search queries, which will likely be included in Siri's iOS 26.4 update. If it's not in iOS 26.4, the add-on Siri feature could instead come in iOS 27. Siri With iOS 27, Apple could update Siri's design. Siri will get its major overhaul in iOS 26.4, but a new visual look is supposedly planned for iOS 27. There are no specifics about what the redesign might entail, but rumors linked to Apple's upcoming tabletop robot suggest that the company might introduce a version of Siri that's more animated, similar to the Mac Finder logo. That more animated version of Siri could also come to the iPhone and iPad, and we could see it first in iOS 27. Health+ Apple is developing a paid Health+ service with nutrition planning and medical suggestions, and we could see that introduced as part of iOS 27. The medical tool would explain different health metrics and trends from the Health app, offering up personalized guidance for health improvement. New Satellite Features Apple is working on several new satellite features for the iPhone, and it's possible some features could be introduced as soon as iOS 27. Timing on Apple's satellite improvements is unclear, though, and behind-the-scenes updates from Apple's satellite partner Globalstar are required. Rumored features: Apple Maps via satellite Photos in Messages via satellite Satellite API framework for third-party apps Satellite over 5G Satellite connectivity without the need for a view of the sky Some of these features might require new hardware, but options like Apple Maps via satellite would not require components beyond what's available now. Launch Date New versions of iOS, macOS, and Apple's other software platforms will be previewed in June at WWDC before launching in September just ahead of when new iPhone models come out.Tag: iOS 27This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums10:40 pmJPMorgan Chase Reaches a Deal To Take Over the Apple Credit Card
According to the Wall Street Journal (paywalled), Goldman Sachs is transferring Apple Card and Apple Savings to JPMorgan Chase. "It was clear in 2023 that Goldman Sachs would exit the consumer credit game, abandoning its Apple Card partnership with it," reports AppleInsider. "However, it has taken 26 months to reach a point where it can finally hand over issuing control to another bank." From the report: Goldman Sachs is reportedly expected to hand over the $20 billion of outstanding balances at a $1 billion discount. Such discounts are rare, and allegedly reflect the higher-than-average delinquency rate found with Apple Card holders. JPMorgan will have to issue new Apple Cards to existing users, but it may be some time before that is done. A new Apple Savings will be opened by JPMorgan as well, but users will be given the option to move or stay.

Macworld According to the Wall Street Journal, JPMorgan Chase has reached a deal to take over the Apple Card credit card program from Goldman Sachs. While the Apple Card is a premium co-branded product, it reportedly hasn’t been very profitable for Goldman Sachs, the original card issuer. This could be due to Apple’s firm stance on certain card terms or its on-phone software making it easy to keep up with payments. Goldman Sachs hasn’t commented directly about the situation, but it’s been reported for over a year that it wants to end its partnership with Apple. The report claims that JPMorgan Chase, the country’s largest bank, will acquire the roughly $20 billion worth of outstanding card balances at a discount of nearly $1 billion, so eager is Goldman Sachs to be rid of it. The WSJ reports that the deal is all but completed and should be announced soon, barring any last-minute hiccups. It is not yet clear what this will mean for Apple Card holders. There may be new physical cards issued (current cards say Goldman Sachs on the back) or a change in the terms, conditions, or even interest rate of the card. The report doesn’t offer any information about such planned changes for consumers, if there are any. However, customers who stick with their Apple Card should have a seamless transfer to the new bank. The Journal notes that Chase is also taking over the savings account, but will launch a separate version. Customers with existing Apple savings accounts through Goldman Sachs will need to decide whether to stay or open a new account with JPMorgan, according to the report.10:22 pmGRU (São Paulo) on 2026-01-13

The Xthings Ultraloq Bolt Sense is a smart lock that incorporates biometric authentication and Matter support. The Bolt Sense is able to identify a person through 3D facial recognition and palm vein authentication. Xthings says the dual biometric approach is meant to be more secure than traditional biometric unlocking methods, but it may also exist because few companies have managed to master facial recognition as accurate as Face ID. The extra palm scan, which identifies an individual's sub-surface vein pattern, ensures that facial recognition won't fail. With biometric unlocking, users can open the door hands-free, and the palm scan works even when the hands are wet. The Bolt Sense combines biometric unlocking with active approach sensing, advanced infrared, and adaptive low-light performance, so it works in the daytime and at night. Xthings isn't launching the Ultraloq Bolt Sense until the second quarter of 2026, but the Ultraloq Bolt Mission, a Matter-enabled smart lock with Ultra Wideband, is available for purchase as of today. The $300 Bolt Mission uses UWB for automatic hands-free unlocking as the homeowner approaches. It also supports unlocking via the Apple Home app, NFC, the Ultraloq app, a PIN, a physical key, or the Apple Watch. It does not support Apple Home Key, and the UWB only works with the Ultraloq app. The Bolt Mission uses 8 AA batteries that need to be replaced every six months, or users can purchase a rechargeable lithium battery pack that lasts for up to 1.5 years before it needs to be charged. Along with the two Bolt locks, Xthings also debuted the Latch 7 Pro, a latch-style smart lock that will support Matter over Thread and Aliro, a universal smart lock standard that Apple is involved in. It's set to launch later this year.Tags: CES 2026, Ultraloq, XthingsThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums09:50 pmApple TV hit comedy lands the most acting award nominations of all TV shows

JPMorgan Chase has reached a deal to take over operation of the Apple Card, reports The Wall Street Journal. Barring any "last minute hiccups," the deal should be announced shortly after over a year of negotiations. Reports began circulating over two years ago that current Apple Card issuer Goldman Sachs was looking to end its partnership with Apple as part of an effort to scale back on consumer banking products amid steep losses. According to The Wall Street Journal, Goldman Sachs is unloading its roughly $20 billion of outstanding Apple Card balances at a discount of more than $1 billion, a rare move for co-branded account deals like this. But higher-than-average delinquency rates and high exposure to subprime borrowers made it more difficult for Goldman Sachs to find a buyer. JPMorgan Chase's interest in taking over as Apple Card issuer was reported over a year ago, and by this past summer Chase appeared to be the front-runner. Alongside its new Apple Card partnership, JPMorgan Chase will reportedly launch a new Apple savings account, but existing users with Apple savings accounts at Goldman Sachs will not be automatically transitioned and will need to decide whether they want to stay at Goldman Sachs or open new accounts with Chase.Tags: Apple Card, ChaseThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums08:53 pmMy first iOS app just launched and people say it feels “insanely professional” | Reddit on iOS ProgrammingMy first iOS app just launched and people say it feels “insanely professional”
