11 Reasons to Wait for the iPhone 18 Pro We're only four months out from the launch of Apple's premium next-generation smartphone lineup, and while we're not expecting a sea change in terms of functionality, there are still several enhancements rumored to be coming to 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 the long-rumored foldable iPhone ("iPhone Ultra") 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. Most rumors suggest the rear camera system will look identical to the current generation, featuring a raised "plateau" with three lenses arranged in a triangle – although recent dummies indicate a possible thickening of the plateau and the protrusion of individual lenses. 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, while 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.
Next-Level Battery Life
Thicker Chassis
The iPhone 18 Pro Max will feature a bigger battery for continued best-in-class battery life, claims a Chinese leaker. The Weibo user known as "Digital Chat Station" said that the iPhone 18 Pro Max will have a battery capacity of 5,100 to 5,200 mAh. (The iPhone 17 Pro Max has the biggest iPhone battery to date at 5,088 mAh. Apple says it has a battery life of up to 39 hours.) According to another 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. 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.
The Weibo leaker "Ice Universe" has claimed the Dynamic Island cutout on the iPhone 18 Pro models will be approximately 35% narrower than it is on the iPhone 17 Pro models. Specifically, they said it will have a width of around 13.5mm, down from around 20.7mm.
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 this year. The latest word on the subject is that Apple is weighing two options for the iPhone 18 Pro's Dynamic Island, and a final decision has yet to be made. One option apparently retains the existing screen mold from the iPhone 17 Pro, while the other introduces a significantly smaller "Mini Dynamic Island" enabled by moving the Face ID receiver and transmitter components beneath the display.
Upgraded Display
LTPO+
The iPhone 18 Pro models will reportedly use LTPO+ display technology, which should be more power efficient than the current LTPO technology in the iPhone 17 series. Such an upgrade could also contribute to longer battery life (see above), since LPTO+ enables finer control of OLED light emission, potentially allowing the display to optimize its operation based on environmental conditions. In other words, it will know better when to up screen brightness or reduce it, depending on surrounding light sources. The panels are reportedly being supplied by Samsung Display and LG Display.
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. That said, Amazon and Globalstar announced in April a definitive merger agreement under which Amazon will acquire the satellite operator. Amazon's Leo satellite network will power existing iPhone features – with scope for additional feature support as part of a forthcoming infrastructure upgrade.
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.
We don't expect Camera Control to go away anytime soon – Apple apparently sees it as a key feature, so much so that it has reportedly made deliberate engineering compromises to ensure that the first foldable iPhone features the button.
New Colors
Three in Testing
In February 2026, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported that Apple is testing a deep red finish for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Rumors of purple and brown finishes have also circulated, but Gurman believes those are just variants of the same red idea. Since then, we've seen aligned rumors that the devices will come in light blue, dark cherry, dark gray, and silver.
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. According to a Chinese leaker, Apple's iPhone 18 Pro models won't come in black this year. If the rumor is true, it will be the second consecutive year Apple has ditched what was arguably its most classic color option for the Pro lineup.Related Roundup: iPhone 18 ProThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Now Requires Verification For Education Store Apple now requires Education Store shoppers in the U.S. and several other countries to verify their student, educator, parent, or homeschool-teacher status through UNiDAYS, ending the previous honor-system approach. 9to5Mac reports: Starting today, Apple requires shoppers in the United States to complete verification when making a purchase via the Education Store. This change also applies to Australia, Hong Kong, Turkey, Canada, and Chile. In many other markets around the world, such as the UK, Apple already required verification. As a refresher, people eligible for Apple's Education Store include current and newly accepted college students and their parents, as well as faculty, staff, and homeschool teachers across all grade levels.
Apple is teaming up with UNiDAYS to handle the verification process. Students and educators will be asked to create a UNiDAYS ID and then verify their academic status by logging in to their school's academic portal. Alternatively, users can upload a photo of their student or faculty IDs. Homeschool teachers, meanwhile, will need to provide an identity document such as a driver's license, state ID card, or passport. They'll also need to provide one homeschool document, such as a Letter of Intent (LOI) or Letter of Acknowledgment. Most customers will be verified instantly, and those requiring manual verification should hear back within 24 hours. The same verification process applies both in-store and online for Apple Education Store shoppers. Meanwhile, Apple has added Apple Watch to the Education Store for the first time, offering discounts on the Series 11, SE 3, and Ultra 3.

How to clear System Data on Mac and free up storage space Macworld
If your Mac is warning that you are running out of storage, you need room for a macOS update, or your Mac simply seems to be slowing down, you may have looked at the large chunk of storage labelled System Data and wondered if you can safely delete it to save space on your Mac. Low storage can cause all kinds of problems on a Mac – you might see warnings that your startup disk is almost full, struggle to install macOS updates, notice performance slowdowns, or in extreme cases even have trouble starting up your Mac. Maintaining at least 10% of your total storage as free space is generally recommended to ensure your Mac continues to run smoothly.
So what exactly is System Data, why can it grow so large, and is it safe to remove anything from it? The answer is yes — at least some of it.
In this guide, we’ll explain what’s included in System Data, why it can take up so many gigabytes, and the simple steps you can take to reclaim vaulable space on your Mac.

What is System Data on Mac?
System Data on Mac is a broad storage category that serves as a catch-all for various files that do not fit into standard classifications like Applications, Documents, or Photos.
While the specific contents vary for every user, System Data typically includes the following types of files:
Caches and Logs: System and application caches designed to help your Mac run more smoothly.
Temporary Files: Data created during daily use that is often intended to be deleted automatically by the OS.
Backups: Local Time Machine snapshots and iOS backups.
Plug-ins and Extensions: Support files for various applications.
Disk Images: Downloaded .dmg files used for upgrading apps or macOS.
App Leftovers: Bits of data that remain on the drive even after the main application has been deleted.
System Data, System, macOS and Other
Apple has changed how this storage category is labeled in different versions of macOS.
In macOS Big Sur (macOS 11) and earlier, much of this storage was grouped under a category called “Other.” In macOS Catalina (macOS 10.15) and the subsequent Big Sur, there was also a separate category labeled “System,” which included core macOS files and other system-related data.
Starting with macOS Monterey (macOS 12), Apple reorganized these categories, replacing much of the System/Other terminology with “System Data,” while also introducing a separate “macOS” category for the operating system itself.
In newer versions of macOS, including Sequoia and Tahoe, the category continues to appear as “System Data” alongside the separate “macOS” category.
Older versions of macOS labeled certain types of storage as System or Other.
Why is System Data so large?
System Data was over 100GB. Is that a record? Foundry
System Data is intended to be managed automatically by macOS, but it can occasionally balloon to an unexpected size, sometimes taking up more than 100GB of storage. This is particularly problematic on Macs with smaller 256GB SSDs, where System Data can unexpectedly consume nearly half of the available space.
This happened to us when macOS started temporarily storing update-related files inside System Data as well as reindexing iCloud and Spotlight files while preparing to install an update to macOS. That was when we concluded that a 256GB SSD is too small for a Mac.
So, how does System Data get so large? System Data serves as a catch-all category for files that do not fit into standard classifications like Apps, Photos, or Media, System Data can is become a significant consumer of storage. The primary reason this category grows is the accumulation of temporary files and background processes.
Key factors that drive the growth of System Data include:
Streaming Caches: One of the biggest culprits is streaming high-quality music and video. While downloaded media is indexed separately, streamed content creates large caches to ensure smooth playback, which are categorized as System Data.
Browser and App Caches: Safari and other browsers store website data to speed up loading times. Over time, these caches can grow to several gigabytes.
Messaging Data: If you frequently send and receive high-resolution images or videos via apps like Messages, the cached attachments can significantly inflate system storage.
System Maintenance: Files such as Time Machine snapshots, iOS backups stored on a computer, and macOS update installers often reside in this category.
The impact of local AI models on System Data
A new and increasingly common cause of large System Data storage is the rise of local artificial intelligence features. Modern operating systems, browsers, and apps now download sizeable AI models so they can perform tasks directly on your device rather than relying entirely on cloud processing.
These local AI models can have a significant impact on macOS storage because the model files themselves are often several gigabytes in size.
Features such as Apple Intelligence, offline transcription tools, coding assistants, and image-generation apps may all store large language models, caches, and other AI assets locally on your Mac. Many of these files are saved in hidden Library folders, caches, containers, or developer directories, so they don’t appear in obvious categories like Applications or Documents. Instead, they can dramatically increase the amount of storage attributed to System Data.
AI workloads can also create large temporary files, caches, and logs while models are running, further increasing storage usage over time.
Is it safe to delete System Data on a Mac?
Beware: Deleting is permanent..Foundry
Apple does not provide a simple Delete button for System Data because the category contains many files required for macOS to function properly. If it were possible to remove everything included in System Data, it could seriously damage your installation of macOS.
However, some files classed as System Data are non-essential and can be safely removed to free up space. These may include certain caches, logs, temporary files, old backups, and unused application support files.
That said, you should proceed carefully and only delete files if you are confident you understand what they are. Removing the wrong files can lead to application errors, system instability, or, in extreme cases, prevent your Mac from starting up properly.
In particular, you should avoid deleting:
Operating System Files: Core macOS files required for the system to run.
System Caches: These help macOS and apps run efficiently, and deleting the wrong cache files can cause problems.
Hidden System Files: Apple hides many critical files specifically to prevent accidental damage.
What System Data files can I safely delete?
If you need to free up storage space on your Mac, there are several types of System Data files that are generally safe to remove.
Old Time Machine Snapshots: Local Time Machine snapshots can sometimes consume large amounts of storage space. These are temporary backups stored on your Mac and can usually be safely deleted if you already have backups saved elsewhere.
iPhone and iPad backups: Old iOS and iPadOS backups stored on your Mac can take up many gigabytes. If you no longer need them, they can be safely removed.
Application caches: While you should avoid deleting core system caches, clearing caches created by individual apps is usually safe. Keep in mind that many apps will simply recreate these files over time.
Disk image files (.dmg): Downloaded installer files for apps you have already installed are often left behind in the Downloads folder and can safely be deleted once they are no longer needed.
Temporary files and logs: Some temporary files and log files generated by apps and macOS can be removed, especially if they are old or unusually large. However, proceed with caution, as some of these files are necessary for system performance and stability.
Unused AI model files: Modern versions of macOS and some third-party apps may download large AI models for on-device features. macOS does not currently provide a simple way to manually delete individual Apple Intelligence model files, so the most effective way to remove some of these assets is to disable Apple Intelligence entirely.
We’ll explain how to manually remove files from each of these categories below. We’ll also recommend some apps that can help you with this.
Best apps to delete System Data on a Mac
If you don’t feel confident deleting these files manually, you may prefer to use a dedicated cleanup tool to reduce the risk of accidentally damaging macOS or deleting important system files.
There are several specialized cleaning utilities specifically designed to identify and remove System Data files including large caches, logs, and temporary files that are often difficult to locate manually. They can can safely automate the process of removing hidden system junk and reclaiming gigabytes of drive space.

How to delete System Data on a Mac
If you feel confident deleting files manually rather than paying for a dedicated cleanup tool, here’s what you need to do to reduce the size of System Data on your Mac.
Before you begin, there are a few things you should do:
Empty the Trash: Large deleted files may still count toward your System Data storage until the Trash is emptied.
Restart your Mac: This can clear temporary caches and other system files that macOS no longer needs.
Back up your Mac: It’s recommended to back up your Mac before deleting anything categorized as System Data. Some files in this category are essential to macOS, and deleting the wrong files can cause instability, data loss, or even prevent your Mac from booting properly.
1.
Look for other data to delete first
Before you attack System Data check to see what else you can delete. Foundry
Before you start deleting System Data files, check whether there’s anything else you can safely remove first.
macOS includes built-in storage management tools that can help you identify large files and unnecessary clutter. In macOS Ventura and later, go to System Settings > General > Storage to see a breakdown of how your storage is being used.
This view shows how much space is being used by System Data and macOS, Apple doesn’t provide a simple way to directly remove those files from here, however, you may be able to reduce the size of System Data with
Apple provides quick links to categories including Documents, Mail, Messages, Photos, and Applications. By clicking the “i” icon next to each category, you can review and remove files that may be taking up unnecessary space.
For example, the Documents section highlights Large Files you may no longer need, while Messages provides quick access to images, videos, and attachments cluttering up the Messages app.
You’ll also see recommendations to help optimize storage, such as enabling iCloud Photos or automatically emptying the Trash.
If you would rather avoid deleting files altogether, another option is to move data to external storage or cloud services instead.
2.
Remove Time Machine Snapshots
EaseUS
If you use Apple’s Time Machine to back up your Mac, it may also create local snapshots on your Mac. These snapshots allow you to recover recently deleted files or restore earlier versions of documents even when your Time Machine drive is not connected. This is a useful feature until those snapshots start to take up a significant amount of storage space.
Local snapshots created by Time Machine can consume considerable disk space. macOS should automatically delete these snapshots when space is needed; however, if you want to remove them manually, you can do so using Terminal commands.
To see all local snapshots, open Terminal and enter:
tmutil listlocalsnapshots /
Note the date of any you want to delete and then paste in:
sudo tmutil deletelocalsnapshots 2026-05-10-120102
Replace the date above with the snapshot date relevant to your case.
If you would prefer to remove multiple snapshots at once, you can enter the following command, which asks macOS to free approximately 10GB of snapshot storage:
sudo tmutil thinlocalsnapshots / 10000000000 4
To stop further Time Machine snapshots from being created, disconnect the backup disk and go to: System Settings > General > Time Machine and turn off Back Up Automatically.
3.
Delete old iOS backups
Find iOS backups in Manage Backups. Foundry
If you back up your iPhone or iPad to a computer rather than to iCloud, those backup files can quickly take up a significant amount of storage space.
Deleting old iOS backups is an effective way to reclaim storage space.
If you’re using macOS Catalina or later, follow these steps:
Connect your iPhone or iPad to your Mac.
Open Finder.
Select your device from the sidebar.
Under the General tab, click Manage Backups.
Select any outdated backups and click Delete Backup.
Before macOS Catalina, iOS backups were managed through the now-discontinued iTunes app.
4.
Clear Caches
Delete Caches from the Finder.Foundry
Clearing caches on a Mac can help free up storage space and sometimes improve performance. In most cases, it is safe to delete cache files because they are recreated automatically when needed.
You can manually clear different types of caches through Finder.
Important: You can delete the contents of cache folders, but do not delete the cache folders themselves.
Delete User Caches: These are files created by your applications. To access them, open Finder > press Command+Shift+G > type ~/Library/Caches/. You can generally delete the contents of these folders safely, especially for apps you no longer use. Applications will rebuild caches automatically when needed.
Delete System Caches: These are used by macOS itself. To access them open Finder > press Command+Shift+G > and type /Library/Caches/ (without the ~) in the Go to Folder box. Use extra caution when deleting files here. Removing the wrong files is unlikely to permanently damage macOS, but it can cause temporary instability or require apps/system services to rebuild data.
Delete Browser Caches: Safari, Firefox, and other browsers store cached website data that can sometimes cause slow loading or display issues. You can clear data directly within their settings to speed up sluggish web browsing. See our article on Deleting Browser Caches for details.
Restart: Restarting your Mac or quitting apps that have been running for a long time can automatically clear some temporary cache files and recover system resources.
We also have a guide to how to clear cache on a Mac.
5.
Delete Disk Images
Search for DMG files in the Finder. Foundry
Typically, when you install software on a Mac using a disk image, the .dmg file remains in your Downloads folder (or wherever it was originally saved).
Even after you drag the application into your Applications folder, the .dmg file remains on your Mac until you delete it manually.
The mounted disk image itself – the volume that appears on your Desktop or in Finder – is usually ejected automatically when you restart, log out, or manually eject it. However, the original .dmg file still remains on disk.
These files can contribute to the storage categorized as System Data or Documents until they are deleted.
To locate these files:
Open Finder
Use the search bar and search for files ending in .dmg or .pkg
These files can usually be safely deleted after installation if you no longer need them for reinstalling software later.
You can also reduce the amount of wasted storage on your device by following the tips in how to free up space on Mac. For more advice read our tips for cleaning up your Mac to make it run faster.

Foldable iPhone 'Ultra' Rumored to Launch in Just Two Colors Apple's first foldable iPhone, expected to be called the "iPhone Ultra," is shaping up to launch with a noticeably restrained selection of colors, according to multiple leakers, with sources pointing to as few as two options and a deliberate avoidance of bold or vibrant finishes for the device.
In February, the Weibo leaker known as "Instant Digital" shared a broader account of the foldable iPhone's design, describing it with just two color options, with white as the only "confirmed" shade at the time. The leaker did not reveal the second option. Instant Digital revisited their February report earlier this month without walking back any color details, keeping the two-option account intact.
More recently, Macworld cited a supply chain source to provide new details about the foldable's color options: a classic silver and white model, and an indigo option described as similar to the iPhone 17 Pro's Deep Blue finish. The same source said the device will offer fewer choices than the iPhone 18 Pro models, with no bold or vibrant colors.
The approach is reminiscent of the iPhone X, which similarly launched in just two colors, Silver and Space Gray, when it debuted in November 2017 at a then record starting price of $999. Like the foldable iPhone, the iPhone X was a generational leap that introduced an entirely new design language. The iPhone XS that followed a year later added Gold to the lineup, suggesting Apple may take the same approach with the iPhone Ultra over time.
A limited color offering may also be a practical consequence of the device's constrained production outlook. Supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo warned that early-stage yield and ramp-up challenges could mean smooth shipments may not occur until 2027, with potential shortages lasting through at least the end of 2026. Kuo also clarified that the frequently cited order figure of 15 to 20 million foldable iPhones likely reflects cumulative demand across the product's full two to three year lifecycle, rather than 2026 alone, suggesting that annual volumes will be modest.
Developing and manufacturing each additional color variant adds complexity and cost to an already challenging production process, as well as additional SKUs to stock. With the device expected to be in short supply at launch regardless, there is little commercial incentive for Apple to broaden the initial color palette. At a starting price that Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says will "cross the $2,000 threshold," the iPhone Ultra is also unlikely to attract the kind of buyer who might be swayed by a wider color range, making the calculation even simpler.
The iPhone Ultra is expected to be announced in September 2026 alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.Related Roundup: iPhone FoldTag: Foldable iPhoneThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Reddit Starts Blocking Mobile Website, Pushing Users to App Instead Social network Reddit recently began blocking mobile visitors to its website while pushing them to download the official Reddit app, and it's fair to say that the move is not going down well with users.
If you visit reddit.com on your iPhone today, you may see a new popup that can't be dismissed, asking you to "get the app to keep using Reddit."
A Reddit spokesperson told Ars Technica that it was "a test for a small subset of frequent logged-out mobile users that prompts them to download the app after visiting the site." They continued: "These users are already familiar with Reddit and we've seen that the experience is much better for them in the app. The app offers a more personalized experience and users can more easily find communities that match their interests."
Users have since taken to subreddits like r/bugs and r/help to voice their displeasure at being blocked out of the website on mobile. "Are my days of anonymously browsing over?" asked one user.
Futurism's Victor Tangermann wrote about the aggressive ad last week, suggesting the change was the latest indication of the platform's "enshittification" – a neologism coined by author Cory Doctorow that describes tech companies deliberately degrading their services in order to maximize profit.
Despite consistent user growth and 121 million daily active users, Reddit has struggled to find a path to monetization since it went public on the stock exchange two years ago. The site's principal revenue is advertising, which explains the push to log users into its mobile app, where it can consistently track their activity.
In 2024, the company also signed a controversial contract with OpenAI that allowed the ChatGPT maker to train its AI models on user-submitted posts. (It's currently in legal battles with Perplexity and Anthropic over alleged unlawful use of its data.)
Over half the population of the U.S. visits Reddit each week, according to the Financial Times, but most of that discovery comes from Google searches, which suggests the so-called "front page of the internet" is walking a tightrope between monetizing interactions and stifling engagement growth.
I am not really a Reddit user.However, from time to time I am checking few subreddits, like r/Monero, on my mobile device.But it seems like this is over now, since Reddit decided to not let me use their website anymore:"Get the app to keep using Reddit", it now says.

Sorry haters, Liquid Glass on the Mac isn’t going anywhere Macworld
With WWDC on the horizon—Apple’s annual software extravaganza begins on June 8, less than a month from now—thoughts are turning to the OS updates owners of Apple products can expect this year. And there’s one big question: What will happen to Liquid Glass?
As part of the 26 updates unveiled at last year’s WWDC, Apple brought in a new unified interface design across all of its operating systems called Liquid Glass. This proved divisive. Many users thought that the new look, which uses transparency effects to make the interface look like shimmery glass, was gorgeous and futuristic. Others felt that it drew attention to itself, worsened legibility, and reflected a broken design process.
Apple responded to the legibility complaints by giving iOS 26 a toggle to tone down the transparency effects, but has shown little inclination to backtrack in a broader sense on the aesthetic change of direction. Which should come as little surprise to long-term followers of the company: iOS 7 was highly controversial back in 2013, but was retained despite widespread complaints and ended up influencing an entire generation of mobile interfaces.
A new report reiterates the consensus view that Liquid Glass isn’t going anywhere, at least for the next year of software updates, but it does offer a glimmer of hope for any Mac owners who are sick of the Tahoe look. Apple is going to “refine” the interface for macOS 27.
In the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman says Apple is working on a “slight redesign” for macOS 27. Or, at any rate, that employees regard it as a slight redesign. It’s possible users will feel differently.
The redesign will address the shadows and “transparency quirks,” Gurman writes, as part of a “cleanup and refinement effort.” This echoes the company’s approach with iOS 8 more than a decade ago, when the radical changes in iOS 7 were polished and refined to make them more palatable to users, without losing the underlying design principles.
The interesting part of Gurman’s claim is that macOS 27 won’t reflect a change in direction on even a small scale. Rather, he reports, this year’s update will bring the Mac closer to the original vision the designers had last year but weren’t able to achieve.
“[This year’s] changes to macOS are meant to make Liquid Glass look the way Apple’s design team intended it to from the start,” he writes. “Last year’s operating systems didn’t necessarily suffer from design problems, I’m told, but rather a not-completely-baked implementation from Apple’s software engineering team.”
In the longer term, Gurman says, Apple hopes that Liquid Glass will become more palatable as Mac hardware evolves. In particular the OLED screen on the upcoming touchscreen MacBook Pro will suit the interface style better than the screens of current LCD-based Macs.

Gurman: New Apple Vision Pro Won't Arrive for at Least Two Years Apple hasn't fully abandoned the Vision Pro, but anyone hoping for a successor will be waiting at least two more years, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
Writing in his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman resisted suggestions that Apple has walked away from the headset entirely. The well-connected reporter says the company continues to develop new technologies and materials behind the scenes with the goal of eventually producing a cheaper, lighter enclosed headset. That said, no such product is apparently in active development, and the long-rumored "Vision Air" was canceled last year.
If a new Vision Pro-style device does materialize, Gurman says he wouldn't expect it for "around two more years at least," given that the bulk of Apple's mixed-reality hardware talent has been pulled onto other projects like lightweight smart glasses.
Indeed, Apple's smart glasses project is now the focus, and former Vision Products Group members have been reassigned to that team, as well as shoring up its Siri chatbot development, not to mention other AI wearables such as the AirPods with cameras and a planned AI pendant.
The Vision Pro's troubled retail launch was recently extensively covered in a book by New York Times labor reporter Noam Scheiber, who argues that Apple's decade-long erosion of its retail workforce directly contributed to the disappointing launch of the $3,499 headset.

iOS 26 broke my iPhone. A fix is coming (I hope) Macworld
With iOS 26, Apple introduced one of the most significant changes to its operating system interface, arguably the most radical since iOS 7. However, this change has also led to many users experiencing annoying bugs and performance issues.
Not only that, but Apple still hasn’t delivered on many of the Apple Intelligence features it promised two years ago at WWDC 2024. That’s why, when Apple unveils iOS 27 at WWDC in June, my only wish is that it focuses on fixing iOS instead of changing it even more.
iOS 26 has been a troubled release
Every time Apple releases a new version of iOS, some bugs are to be expected. That’s why Apple is always releasing updates to refine its software. No platform is immune to bugs, especially when it has just undergone major changes.
But if you ask many iPhone, iPad, or Mac users, they’ll likely tell you that iOS 26 was one of the most buggy releases of recent times. It’s not hard to find reports online about broken features, interface glitches, or slow performance (especially on older devices).
Since September, Apple has released 10 software updates for iOS 26, including major updates and smaller security and bug fixes. We’ve gotten three in just the last month, with iOS 26.4 adding new features, followed by minor updates iOS 26.4.1 and iOS 26.4.2 that focused on bugs and security updates. Still, iOS 26 doesn’t feel as polished as iOS 18 did.
For me, one of the most annoying things about iOS 26 has been how hot my iPhone 17 Pro Max with the new vapor cooling chamber gets even when running basic apps like Messages. As a result, the battery has also been draining very quickly.
There are also a few minor but very unpleasant bugs, such as icons disappearing or showing up in a different style than the one I chose (like a light icon when dark mode is on), Face ID taking longer to authenticate, and extremely sluggish animations when Low Power Mode is enabled.
I could also mention how unreliable the virtual keyboard has become, even with all the fixes in iOS 26.4, and how the Liquid Glass interface has made some text unreadable.
Liquid Glass has made some text all but unreadable with certain backgrounds.Foundry
Liquid Glass might be to blame
The problems all seem to come down to Liquid Glass. Apple’s new shiny interface demands a lot of hardware resources, especially graphics resources, since we see translucency and distortion happening in real time.
When Craig Federighi introduced Liquid Glass at WWDC 2025, he made sure to mention how the chips inside Apple devices have evolved in terms of performance in recent years, enabling the company to run a more demanding and complex interface. And that’s true, but it seems that Apple didn’t take the time to fine-tune the performance of this interface on devices that rely heavily on battery power.
To test just how resource-intensive the Liquid Glass interface is, I used my MacBook Pro with an M4 Pro chip since it’s easier to measure GPU and power usage on macOS than it is on iOS. Here, my Mac usually runs at around 3W when idle. It’s pretty impressive. Apple Silicon chips really shine here. And even when I’m doing simple things like scrolling through a webpage in Safari or opening a Finder window, power consumption rarely exceeds 5W.
But this is where things start to get interesting. When I open the Messages app in a chat with an animated background, power consumption spikes to 10W. At the same time, GPU usage, which typically ranges from 0% to 5% when idle, reaches 40 percent when the Mac is rendering animations in the Messages app.
Animated Messages backgrounds are neat, but impact performance and battery life.Foundry
Since not everyone uses animated backgrounds in their chats, I ran another test with something that most people use: Control Center and Notification Center. And I set my widgets and icons to the “Clear” option. Here, the results were even more shocking.
When I opened both Control Center and Notification Center on my Mac, it recorded a peak power consumption of 15W, with GPU usage reaching up to 40 percent to render the animations.

Next Apple Watch Models Unlikely to Add Touch ID, Focus on Battery Life Apple is prioritizing larger batteries and more advanced health sensors over fingerprint authentication for the Apple Watch, according to a new claim from a prominent Chinese leaker.
In a new Weibo post, Instant Digital pushed back on recent speculation about biometric recognition coming to Apple's wearable lineup, claiming instead that the company remains content to let users unlock their devices via their paired iPhone.
Adding Touch ID sensors would introduce extra cost and eat into precious internal space that could otherwise be used for battery capacity, which is a tradeoff Apple apparently isn't willing to make at this stage, suggests the leaker.
Last August, MacRumors confirmed lines of code uncovered by Macworld that suggested Touch ID could arrive on the Apple Watch Series 12 or Apple Watch Ultra 4. That discovery led to suggestions that Apple could put the Touch ID sensor under the display or potentially integrate it into the side button, similar to its implementation on the iPad mini and iPad Air.
As things stand, the 2026 Apple Watch models are not expected to feature major design changes, and a design update is unlikely to happen until 2028 at the earliest. When it does, Apple could introduce noninvasive blood glucose monitoring technology, but currently the feature remains in the early stages of development.Related Roundups: Apple Watch 11, Apple Watch Ultra 3Tag: Instant DigitalBuyer's Guide: Apple Watch (Caution), Apple Watch Ultra (Neutral)Related Forum: Apple WatchThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
Who are we kidding? Everyone copies Apple Macworld
If you’re looking for thoughtful discussion of the latest tech news, it might be wise to avoid Twitter, aka X, aka Elon Musk’s Idiot Circus. The algorithm rewards engagement, which in turn incentivises controversy, disinformation, and unthinking knee-jerk hot takes. So when Google tweeted a promo for the upcoming Android 17 update last week, it was inevitable that the most visible comments would contain more rage than reason.
Which isn’t to say they’re necessarily wrong.
A decent number of Android fans were outraged by the hint, offered in an accompanying promotional video, that Google is about to pivot to a new but simultaneously familiar aesthetic. “Please don’t tell me Android is going to have a Liquid Glass look,” pleaded by far the most polite of this group. “Stay original, Android,” said another, summing up the majority view. And it’s probably fair to say that the shimmery, glowing, translucent new appearance shown off by The Bot had more than a touch of the WWDC 2025 about it.
Android ecosystem president Sameer Samat quickly denied that Google is copying Apple and insisted that Liquid Glass on Android is “Not happening! Y’all are wild.” Maybe this is true. The glowy, somewhat glassy look has only been seen in one (non-UI) video, and it’s easy to jump to the wrong conclusions when you haven’t yet got all the facts. Particularly if you’re on Twitter.
But it’s also true that copying can be both nebulous and easy to deny. One’s judgment of how visually similar one UI is to another, for example, is completely subjective. Google may in due course announce its new Fluid Crystal design language and insist that it isn’t the same as Liquid Glass because the toggles are different or there’s a slightly different transparency effect on the home screen. It’s not a pyramid scheme, true believers will insist, it’s a reverse funnel system.
In any case, you’ll have to forgive us for raising an eyebrow and wondering if Google’s designers have been getting their inspiration from Apple Park, because this sort of thing happens constantly.
Only a couple of months ago, Apple launched the MacBook Neo to instant acclaim, and what do you know, a bunch of PC builders suddenly decided to take their lines in a new direction. The iPhone Ultra won’t even launch for another four months, and Huawei and Samsung are already pivoting to the strange wide form factor it’s expected to use.
Samsung’s Galaxy Buds and Galaxy Watch Ultra are astonishingly shameless rip-offs of the AirPods and Apple Watch Ultra, respectively, and while the company denies that the Galaxy S25 Edge was based on early leaks of the iPhone Air, the similarities are striking. And as for Honor’s Power 2, which even comes in a color almost identical to Cosmic Orange… well, the word is probably “blatant. At this point, Apple must feel like it can’t release an internal memo without someone from a rival company making one of their own with a worse interface.
Some will say that imitation goes both ways, and that Apple has practised its fair share of plagiarism over the years. This charge isn’t entirely unfair, although Apple’s borrowings usually take the form of smaller software features rather than whole-cloth interfaces. In the hardware sphere, the company prefers to regard rival projects not as exemplars but as flawed prototypes it can learn from and then vastly improve. This is a practice that goes right back to the foundational but not yet commercially viable GUI ideas it learned from Xerox in the late 1970s and then polished for use in the Mac. (Apple paid for that visit with lucrative stock options, by the way. There’s a right way to go about copying someone else’s ideas.) Neither the iPod nor the Vision Pro was technically the first of its kind, but each took its respective product concept and raised it to the next level.
No, Apple definitely gets copied more than it copies. And in some ways, it’s good for the tech market that it does. Apple has grown so powerful that it can serve as a useful lightning rod for other companies: it drops the optical drive, it removes the headphone jack, it takes the charger out of the box, it cops all the flak, and then everyone else can do the same thing three months later with a fraction of the negative publicity. Where Apple leads, the industry follows… in everything except privacy and data harvesting, unfortunately.
So no, I’m not terribly inclined to give Google the benefit of the doubt when it comes to Glassdroid. Maybe Android 17 will look like iOS 26, and maybe it won’t, but Apple’s designers have been copied so many times in the past that despair and irritation are natural responses to a promotional video that was either weirdly clueless or deliberately provocative. In fact, I think I’ll go and complain about the situation on Twitter.

WhatsApp Plus Lands on iPhone With Custom Themes, Icons, and More WhatsApp has started rolling out its paid WhatsApp Plus subscription to iOS, following beta testing of the new personalization-focused tier amongst a small group of users, reports WABetaInfo.
The plan is light on practical features, and is aimed more at heavier users who want to customize various aspects of the WhatsApp experience. It gives you access to premium sticker packs with fullscreen overlay animations (visible to recipients without the plan) and 18 accent colors that replace the app's default green across the interface. There are also 14 alternate app icons to choose from, ranging from minimal outlines to glittery and artistic designs.
The plan also raises the pinned-chat limit from 3 to 20, adds 10 new ringtones, and allows bulk theme, alert tone, and ringtone settings across chat lists.
The subscription costs €2.49 per month in Europe and $29 in Mexico, but that may not be reflective of the price in other regions. Eligible users may also see a one-week or one-month free trial, depending on the country. If you have a WhatsApp Business account, though, you won't see the subscription option -- it's for regular users only.
WhatsApp's core functionality remains changed, so users with no interest in the plan don't lose anything. Messaging, voice and video calls, status updates, and end-to-end encryption are still free for everyone. WhatsApp Plus is basically an optional add-on providing extras rather than restricting existing features.
The rollout is limited to a small group of iOS users on the latest App Store version, but broader availability is expected over the coming weeks. Tag: WhatsAppThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple’s gorgeous 15-inch MacBook Air with an M4 chip just dropped to its best price of just under $1,000, which can only mean one thing — it’s time to finally get one! That $400 discount discount isn’t one you see every day, even for clearance items, so you shouldn’t waste any time if you want one.
This MacBook Air might be last year’s model, but there’s no reason to doubt its performance. That M4 chip under the hood is an absolute beast, and it’s got a good 16GB of unified memory. There’s no task this thing won’t be able to handle, from the most mundane to the most complicated. The 512GB SSD will give you plenty of space for videos, photos, and apps as well.
The laptop features a 15.3-inch Liquid Retina Display that will deliver vibrant colors, great contrast, and just enough speed to ensure everything you watch looks smooth. The 12MP Center Stage Camera will ensure that whenever you join any online meetings or want to shoot some vids, you’re going to be the center of attention. We gave this laptop 5 stars in our review, and we’re sure you’ll love it just as much.
So stop wondering — you know you want the M4 MacBook Air for just under $1,000, so just add it to the cart and bring it home.

Does iPhone need its own MacBook Neo moment? Apple debuted iPhone 16e last year at its $599 price point – and it’s been an okay phone since. It got refreshed this year with an A19 chipset, more storage, and MagSafe, but for the most part, its positioning in the market hasn’t really changed. It’s an okay phone at an okay price.
It’s been selling decently, but it hasn’t really been a killer appeal to Android users in the same way that MacBook Neo has been for PC users. I think that could change.

Here’s how Apple could make its Hide My Email feature even better for iCloud+ users Introduced in iOS 15, Hide My Email is an iCloud+ feature that does exactly what it says on the tin – you can create an alternative email address for each individual service you sign up for, and easily cut off said email whenever you’d like. It prevents advertisers from having your primary email address, and gives you better inbox control – a total win-win.
That said, despite being introduced 5 years ago, the feature hasn’t progressed as much as it realistically could have. Here are my suggestions for how Apple could improve Hide My Email.

macOS 27: Two More Changes Leaked Ahead of WWDC Next Month macOS 27 will have a "slight redesign" compared to macOS Tahoe, along with an option to automatically group tabs in Safari, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
In his Power On newsletter today, Gurman said the design changes will help to address some of the criticism surrounding macOS Tahoe's new Liquid Glass interface. In particular, the changes should improve overall readability.
"Apple aims to address the shadows and transparency quirks," he said.
In addition, Gurman said Apple is testing a new AI-powered Safari feature that can automatically organize browser tabs into groups. This feature, previously revealed by MacRumors, is expected to be available across macOS 27, iOS 27, and iPadOS 27.
"I'm told that in test versions of iOS 27, the center-top button that users can tap to move between their tab groups has a new option called 'Organize Tabs,'" he said. "You can choose whether you want the grouping to occur automatically or not."
Apple will unveil macOS 27 during its WWDC 2026 keynote on Monday, June 8.
The first developer beta of macOS 27 will likely be available immediately following the keynote, and a public beta typically follows in July. Following beta testing, the software update should be released to all users in September.

According to Bloomberg, this year's revision is chiefly concerned with the appearance of different Mac elements with Liquid Glass.Specifically, the "slight redesign" is to concentrate on improving various readability issues. Where those have arisen so far, it's been in Liquid Glass's transparency and shadow effects, so presumably that is what Apple will work on.

Apple’s biggest iPad competitor isn’t Android, it’s older iPads For the most part, iPad has dominated the tablet market – and that probably won’t be changing anytime soon.

While this likely isn’t a huge problem quite yet, I do think it raises some questions going forward.
