Macworld In today’s digital era, sitting has become the new form of endurance. Many of us often spend more than eight hours a day at our computers. The result is a growing epidemic of chronic back and neck pain, muscle fatigue, and postural stress. The human body was never meant to stay static, yet our work and passions increasingly demand it. The challenge isn’t simply to make sitting more comfortable — it’s to make it healthy. That challenge is precisely what inspired the creation of the LiberNovo Omni, a groundbreaking ergonomic chair that transforms sitting from a passive act into an active, health-conscious experience. With a design philosophy grounded in movement, alignment, and adaptability, the Omni isn’t just another office or gaming chair—it’s a wellness tool for modern life. Unlock early savings ahead of Black Friday: From November 1–9, LiberNovo’s official site will feature a dedicated gift card presale, giving early adopters a chance to lock in savings before the full Black Friday & Cyber Monday sale begins. LiberNovo A new standard in ergonomic comfort Traditional chairs focus on cushioning; the Omni focuses on intelligence. Its Dynamic Support System synchronizes every component—the seat, backrest, armrests, and neck rest—to move with your body in real time. Whether you’re designing, writing or coding, the chair continuously adjusts to maintain perfect spinal alignment and balanced posture. This means no more slouching into the screen or straining your neck to stay focused. At the core of its innovation lies the Bionic FlexFit Backrest, a marvel of adaptive engineering. Built with 16 joints and 8 flexible panels, it hugs the spine’s natural S-curve, distributing pressure evenly and promoting healthy posture throughout the day. Each micro-movement is supported, ensuring that your body remains active and engaged, even while you sit. Healthy sitting, reimagined The LiberNovo Omni doesn’t just support—it restores. Its OmniStretch and Spinal Decompression Recline systems allow users to recline up to 160°, decompressing the spine and easing stiffness from prolonged sitting. With one touch, the motorized spinal massage activates, gently stretching and massaging key pressure points to relieve tension and improve circulation. For professionals who spend endless hours immersed in deep focus or creative flow, these restorative features turn short breaks into genuine recovery sessions. The StepSync Footrest further enhances this wellness-driven design. With a 10° ergonomic tilt, it encourages healthy blood flow through the legs, reducing the risk of numbness and fatigue that often accompany long sitting sessions. Together, these elements create a full-body system of comfort that promotes vitality and balance, not just convenience. LiberNovo Tailored comfort for every body Every person’s spine, posture, and sitting habits are unique—and the Omni recognizes that. It offers 4D adjustable armrests, a 3D neckrest[1] , and multiple recline angles that adapt to your needs. Whether you’re leaning forward in concentration or reclining in reflection, every movement is supported. The Dynamic Screen Alignment feature keeps your eyes steady and your neck relaxed. As you tilt or recline, the headrest and backrest move independently to maintain your gaze on the screen, eliminating the strain that comes from repetitive head and neck adjustments. The seat cushion, constructed with multi-density foam, supports your hips with firm stability at the rear and gentle softness at the front, ensuring even weight distribution and improved leg circulation. The result is a sensation of floating comfort, ideal for marathon coding sessions, editing work, or long creative sprints. Comfort that feeds focus Sitting comfortably isn’t just about feeling good—it’s about performing better. When your body is relaxed and your posture supported, concentration naturally follows. The Omni’s Four Intelligent Recline Modes—Deep Focus, Solo-Work, Soft Recline, and Spine Flow—are designed to match different phases of productivity and recovery. Whether you’re powering through a design project or unwinding after a long day, the chair moves seamlessly with you, promoting both focus and wellbeing. LiberNovo A future where sitting is healthy The LiberNovo Omni represents more than ergonomic advancement—it’s a reimagining of the relationship between humans and their workspace. Built for creators, designers, gamers, and anyone who spends hours at a desk, the Omni stands as a testament to what sitting can be: dynamic, supportive, and restorative. It is the world’s first truly active chair—a fusion of science, motion, and comfort that keeps you aligned, energized, and pain-free. With the LiberNovo Omni, sitting isn’t something you endure—it’s something that sustains you. Welcome to the new era of healthy sitting. LiberNovo Unlock early savings ahead of Black Friday From November 1–9, LiberNovo’s official site will feature a dedicated gift card presale, giving early adopters a chance to lock in savings before the full Black Friday & Cyber Monday sale begins.

In addition to a bunch of much-needed bug fixes, iOS 26.1 brings tons of new features. Here’s the complete list. (via Cult of Mac - Your source for the latest Apple news, rumors, analysis, reviews, how-tos and deals.)01:00 pmTop Stories: iOS 26.1 Imminent, iPhone 18 Rumors, and More
After a flurry of Apple releases in September in October, the calendar has now turned to November, but that doesn't necessarily mean Apple is done making news for 2025. Beyond those nearer-term software and hardware update expectations, this week saw fresh rumors about the iPhone 18 lineup, several future Mac and iPad models, and more, so read on below for all the details! Top Stories Apple Seeds iOS 26.1, iPadOS 26.1, and macOS Tahoe 26.1 Release Candidates The public releases of iOS 26.1, macOS Tahoe 26.1, and related updates appear to be right around the corner, with Apple seeding release candidate versions of all of the updates this week. iOS 26.1 brings several new features and changes, including a toggle to adjust the opaqueness of the new Liquid Glass design. We took a look at whether using the Clear or Tinted design, as well as trying several other accessibility adjustments that can affect the Liquid Glass look, has any impact on battery life, but didn't find anything significant. iPhone 18 Pro Rumored to Support Full 5G Satellite Internet While Apple has been gradually building out satellite-related features for its lineup of iPhone and more recently Apple Watch models, all of the features have so far been limited to low-bandwidth applications like messaging. That may change next year, however, with a new report claiming that Apple is working on adding support for full 5G satellite internet access as soon as next year in the iPhone 18 Pro models. In other iPhone 18 rumors this week, we heard about potential for a simpler Camera Control design in next year's phones, as well as a DSLR-style variable aperture for the Main camera on iPhone 18 Pro models. The base iPhone 18 may also see a 50% bump in memory to 12GB, matching the higher-end models. Apple TV 4K Could Still Launch Before 2025 Ends: All the Rumored Features Apple is designing an updated version of the Apple TV 4K, and rumors suggest that it could come out sometime in the next couple of months. We're not expecting a major overhaul with design changes, but even a simple chip upgrade will bring major improvements to Apple's set-top box. We've rounded up all the latest Apple TV rumors in a recent article and accompanying video, so be sure to check it out for an overview of everything we may see in the forthcoming update. Apple Reportedly Moving Ahead With Ads in Maps App Apple Maps could feature integrated ads as soon as next year, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports. In his latest "Power On" newsletter, Gurman said that Apple's plan to bring more ads to iOS is "gaining traction," with the Maps app being next in line. The project will apparently give restaurants and other businesses the option to pay to have their details featured more prominently in search. Apple Expanding OLED Displays to iPad Mini, iPad Air, and MacBook Models We've known for some time that Apple has been working to bring OLED displays to the MacBook Pro, but a new report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reveals Apple's OLED plans are much broader than that. Gurman says the iPad mini will gain an OLED display as early as next year, while the iPad Air will be updated with OLED no sooner than 2027. The iPad Pro was updated with OLED last year. On the Mac side, following the MacBook Pro in late 2026 or early 2027, the MacBook Air should also eventually be upgraded to OLED, but probably not until 2028 at the earliest. M4 MacBook Air vs. M5 MacBook Pro Buyer's Guide Apple has now refreshed both tiers of its MacBook lineup in 2025, first updating the MacBook Air with the M4 chip and just this month introducing the MacBook Pro with the new M5 chip, so how do the latest models compare? While the 13- and 15-inch MacBook Air continue to start at $999 and $1,199 respectively, moving to the 14-inch MacBook Pro requires spending at least $400 more. For some buyers, the extra cost is unnecessary; for others, the Pro's hardware advantages meaningfully change the experience in ways the Air cannot match even with higher configurations. Our latest guide helps to answer the question of how to decide which of these two popular laptops is best for you.

For IT, that makes the browser both a productivity enabler and one of the biggest security surfaces to manage. Getting identity and access right inside the browser is now just as critical as securing the device itself. That is why Chrome’s new support for Apple’s Extensible Single Sign On framework is such a big deal heading into Q4.

Macworld Thanksgiving is a time to reflect upon the prior year, be thankful for what we have, gorge ourselves until we’re near bursting, and then settle into our favorite chairs and watch the first half of a TV show before the tryptophan kicks in. If you usually spend your post-meal time falling asleep to A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, you won’t find it on the usual broadcast or cable channels–it’s exclusively on Apple TV+. Before you wave that turkey drumstick in the air and curse the state of television and all the darn streaming services you need subscriptions for—yes, I’m talking about you, Uncle Fred—you don’t need a subscription to Apple TV+ to watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. Apple is making the show available to anyone for a limited time. If you are an Apple TV+ subscriber, however, you can watch it anytime. How to watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving for free on Apple TV+ On November 15 and 16, anyone with an Apple ID can watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. If you own an Apple device, you have one, but if not, Apple IDs are free and you don’t need a credit card to sign up. Once you have signed up, you can watch in several ways: Through the TV app on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac. On smart TVs with the Apple TV app. On the web at tv.apple.com. On an Apple TV device. As we noted when Apple did this same deal with It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, Apple has all the classic Peanuts specials for the holiday season that used to air over broadcast TV. Apple TV+ also has A Charlie Brown Christmas that will have its free airing on Dec. 13 and 14. Apple TV+ also has Happy New Year, Charlie Brown but it is not listed as free-to-view. A few years ago, Apple acquired the rights to the Peanuts cartoon series that stars Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, Lucy, and other memorable characters. Since then, Apple has aired new Peanuts shows such as The Snoopy Show and Snoopy in Space, and new movies, including Peanuts in Space: Secrets of Apollo 10, Lucy’s School, and It’s the Small Things, Charlie Brown. The Apple TV+ subscription television streaming service is $12.99/£9.99 per month and can be renewed annually for $99/£99. Apple TV+ is also included in the Apple One subscription bundles, which include other Apple services, such as Apple Music, Apple News+, and iCloud storage. Apple One bundles are priced between $19.95/£19.95 and $37.95/£37.95 per month. For more information about Apple TV+, read our Apple TV+ FAQ.

The upcoming iOS 26.1 update includes a small but helpful change for iPhones, and it could prevent you from running late to something important.

On previous iOS 26 versions, there is simply a large "stop" button, which could be accidentally tapped. The new "slide to stop" control looks very similar to the classic "slide to unlock" bar that existed on the iPhone's Lock Screen from 2007 until 2016. Given that the iOS 26.1 Release Candidate was seeded earlier this week, Apple will likely release the update next week, on either Monday or Tuesday.Related Roundups: iOS 26, iPadOS 26Related Forum: iOS 26This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums08:37 pmApple shares hit new all-time intraday high

Apple is expected to launch a new foldable iPhone next year, based on multiple rumors and credible sources. The long-awaited device has been rumored for years now, but signs increasingly suggest that 2026 could indeed be the year that Apple releases its first foldable device. Below, we've collated an updated set of key details that have been leaked about Apple's foldable iPhone so far. Overall Design Book-Style According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple's foldable iPhone is similar in style to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold, which uses a book-style folding mechanism, rather than the clamshell design of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. Industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo expects the foldable iPhone to measure between 9 and 9.5 mm when folded, and around 4.5 to 4.8 mm when unfolded. More recently, Weibo-based leaker Instant Digital has said that the foldable iPhone will have a thickness of at least 4.8mm. Display Sizes Dual Screens When folded, users will interact with a 5.5-inch outer display that is similar to a typical iPhone screen, while unfolding it will reveal a larger 7.8-inch iPad-style screen. The inner display is said to be virtually crease-free, thanks to Apple's use of a metal plate that can disperse and control the stress generated by bending the display. These dimensions have been corroborated by two reputable sources. According to one rumor, the inner folding display will be approximately the size of a piece of A6 paper and will use a 2,713 x 1,920 resolution, while the outer display will use a 2,088 x 1,422 resolution. Chassis and Hinge Durable Materials The foldable iPhone reportedly has a titanium chassis, with the hinge constructed from a combination of titanium and stainless steel, according to Kuo. Apple is said to be using liquid metal in the hinges to improve durability and help eliminate screen creasing. Liquid metal, manufactured using a die-casting process, has been chosen by Apple to address these two common issues with foldable devices, according to the analyst. The frame itself will use a titanium alloy to prevent bending issues – a solution that has worked well for Apple's new ultra-thin iPhone Air. However, analyst Jeff Pu believes that Apple is using aluminum and titanium, whereas Kuo believes a mix of stainless steel and titanium has been chosen. Cameras Front and Rear The foldable iPhone is expected to include a dual-lens rear camera, with a front-facing camera for both folded and unfolded states, according to Kuo. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman recently corroborated reports that the device will have four cameras consisting of one front camera, one inner camera, and two rear cameras. Prolific Weibo-based leaker Digital Chat Station claims that the rear dual lenses will be 48 megapixels each. Other sources have claimed that the inner display features an under-screen camera (USC), while the outer display – in the device's folded state – will have a punch-hole camera. Authentication Touch ID Kuo believes the phone will forgo Face ID authentication, and instead use a Touch ID side button as a means to save precious internal space, and Bloomberg's Mark Gurman recently corroborated the rumor. Apple has previously integrated Touch ID into the side button of the iPad, iPad Air, and iPad mini. Cellular Connectivity C2 Modem The foldable iPhone will use Apple's second-generation C2 modem for cellular connectivity, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Apple debuted its custom-designed C1 modem in the iPhone 16e earlier this year, followed by the C1X featured in the iPhone Air, as part of a multi-year plan to transition away from Qualcomm modems. Gurman says the foldable device will not have a physical SIM slot. Battery Life High-Density Cells Apple is putting a heavy focus on improving power efficiency by slimming down key components like the display driver to make room for more battery cells, according to a Korean blog that has leaked accurate details about unreleased products before. The phone will reportedly use high-density battery cells. Expect the C2 modem to be faster overall, and for it to gain mmWave support in the United States. Further power efficiency improvements are likely too. Color Options Black and White Apple is currently only testing variations of black and white for the folding phone with suppliers, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, although he says that Apple's plans could evolve before the device launches. Pricing Premium Segment Multiple reports have suggested the foldable iPhone will be priced between $2,000 and $2,500 in the United States, which could make it the most expensive iPhone ever. Meanwhile, analysts at investment banking firm UBS believe the phone will be between $1,800 and $2,000. However, Kuo recently claimed that the hinge is expected to carry an average selling price (ASP) of approximately $70 to $80 when mass production begins – well below the market expectation of $100 to $120 or higher. Kuo attributed the cost decline to "assembly design optimization" and Foxconn's influence in production scaling. Whether the reduction in hinge price will reduce retail price or simply bolster Apple's margins is an open question. Regardless of the price, the foldable is expected to tap into Apple's loyal fanbase, some of whom will view it as a "must-have device" if its quality meets expectations. Launch Date Late 2026 According to industry analyst Jeff Pu, the device entered the New Product Introduction (NPI) phase at Foxconn in March. Foxconn is expected to officially start producing Apple's foldable iPhone early in the fourth quarter (October), and a recent report has suggested Apple is already stockpiling components for pre-production. An exact launch date is currently unknown, but both Kuo and Pu say mass production is planned for the second half of 2026. Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman has said he expects the device to be launched next year in the fall season. However, Japan's Mizuho Securities banking firm has suggested a postponement to 2027 could still happen because of Apple taking longer to decide on key design elements such as the hinge.Tag: Foldable iPhoneThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums03:52 pmAfter seeing Facebook use an app comparison tool, we decided to build one for indie developers! | Reddit on iOS ProgrammingAfter seeing Facebook use an app comparison tool, we decided to build one for indie developers!

Apple's iPhone 18 Pro models could be available in new rich and warm color option, according to a known leaker. The Weibo user known as "Digital Chat Station" today suggested that next-year's iPhone 18 Pro models will be available in at least one of the following color options: Coffee, purple, and burgundy. The iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12, iPhone 14, and iPhone 14 Pro were all available in lavender or purple, but there have never been coffee or burgundy iPhones before. A coffee-colored iPhone 18 Pro could be a good successor to the gold iPhone XS or the "desert titanium" iPhone 16 Pro. Coffee sits in the brown family as a deep and earthy shade. Burgundy belongs to the red family, blending rich crimson with traces of brown or purple for a darker, wine-like tone. Purple lies between red and blue, but when muted or darkened, it leans warm. The leaker added that there will still be no black iPhone 18 Pro next year. The iPhone 17 Pro is available in Silver, Deep Blue, and Cosmic Orange. There was no black or gray option for the first time in the device's history. The iPhone 18 Pro models are expected to launch in the fall of next year, featuring the A20 chip made with TSMC's 2nm process, a variable aperture main camera, the C2 modem, a simplified Camera Control, and more.

Macworld When you’re shopping for a new mouse for your Mac, the temptation is to get something flashy. I know because I bought Apple’s own Magic Mouse almost as soon as I saw its beautiful design and multitouch surface. It looks like a mini sports car driving alongside my MacBook Pro. But when I sit down to work these days, my Magic Mouse remains in my desk drawer. While Apple’s mouse is clearly an advanced accessory, the low-profile design and multitouch interface tends to slow me down. Rather, the mouse I’m reaching for is much more basic—so much so, in fact, that I could buy four of them for the price of one Magic Mouse. My go-to mouse is the Razer DeathAdder Essential Gaming Mouse, which sells for $30 and is on sale today for $17. Mind you, I’m not a gamer. Quite frankly, if I were, I’d probably pick an entirely different mouse. For my purposes, the Razer DeathAdder Essential Gaming Mouse has everything I need: a comfortable ergonomic design, smooth tracking, a scroll wheel, easy sensitivity adjustment (up to 6,400 dpi), and programmable buttons. The RGB lighting is pretty neat too. Yes, it has a cord, but let’s be real: how far away from your computer does a mouse really need to be? The 7-foot cable is plenty long for long swipes and long desks and stays free from tangles. It’s so light I barely feel it under my palm, unlike the very persistent Magic Mouse, and it glides easily and smoothly. Most of the time, it doesn’t even feel like it’s tethered to anything—and the best part is I don’t need to flip it upside down to charge it. I still keep a Magic Trackpad on my desk for gestures and scrolling (though the Death Adder has a scroll wheel), but most of my work is accomplished with the simple Razer DeathAdder Essential Gaming Mouse. Go grab one and you’ll see what a truly magical mouse feels like.03:01 pmApple sees ‘tremendous’ global response to latest iPhones

Apple Just Shared Bad News
Apple has just given a strong indication that it will not be releasing any additional new Macs for the remainder of the year. Apple's CFO Kevan Parekh dropped the hint during the company's earnings call on Thursday:On Mac, keep in mind, we expect to face a very difficult compare against the M4 MacBook Pro, Mac mini, and iMac launches in the year-ago quarter.Parekh essentially gave a heads up that Apple's Mac revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025 might not grow significantly compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, given there will be fewer new Macs released this quarter than were in the year-ago quarter. In other words, he implicitly suggested that Apple has no further Mac releases planned for 2025. Earlier this month, Apple updated the lowest-end 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M5 chip, but it did not release any MacBook Pro models with M5 Pro or M5 Max chips, and the Mac mini and iMac did not receive any hardware updates. AppleInsider previously reported that MacBook Pro models with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips would launch in 2026, and Parekh's comment seems to support that. Mac mini and iMac models with M5 chips also appear to be slated for 2026, while the MacBook Air, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro were always rumored to be updated next year. A lower-cost MacBook with an A18 Pro or A19 Pro chip is also rumored to launch in late 2025 or early 2026, but given Parekh's comment, early 2026 sounds more likely. This model is expected to be the spiritual successor to the MacBook Air with an M1 chip, which is still sold exclusively by Walmart for $599 in the United States.Related Roundups: iMac, MacBook Pro, Mac miniBuyer's Guide: iMac (Caution), MacBook Pro (Buy Now), Mac Mini (Neutral)Related Forums: iMac, MacBook Pro, Mac miniThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums02:10 pmNext year’s AirPods lineup could be Apple’s biggest ever
