iOS 26.3 beta arrives launch of new Siri nears | Macworld
iOS 26.3 beta arrives launch of new Siri nears
Macworld Following the release of iOS 16.2 on Friday, December 12, the first beta release of iOS 26.3 was made available to developers a few days later, on December 15. We expect a final release to the public sometime in late January or early February. This is reportedly the last minor refresh before iOS 26.4 brings the revamped Siri upgrade we’ve waited over a year to get. iOS 26.3 beta: What’s new We don’t yet know what new features and changes to expect in iOS 26.3. We’ll update this section as we learn more. Easier switching between Android and iPhone: We expect iOS 26.3 will ship with support for an easier iOS/Android switching system made in collaboration with Google, and at the behest of the European Union. You can about that here. iOS 26.3 beta: How to install the public beta If you want to test the iOS 26 beta releases but are not a registered developer, follow these steps: Click Sign Up on the Apple Beta page and register with your Apple ID. Log in to the Beta Software Program. Click Enroll your iOS device. Open the Settings app, tap General, then Software Update. In the Beta Updates section, select the iOS Public Beta. It may take a few moments after registering for the beta option to appear in Software Update. iOS 26.3 beta: How to install the developer beta You’ll need to be registered as an Apple developer, but a free developer account will do. You can get one via Xcode or the Apple Developer app in iOS. Here’s how to do it via the Apple Developer app: Download the Apple Developer App from the App Store. Open the app. Tap on Account. Sign in using your usual Apple ID. Find out everything you need to know about iOS 26 in our iOS 26 superguide.

Apple's 2026 executive shuffle is only the beginning as Cook nears retirement
Multiple retirements and a surprise departure has caused quite the change to Apple's leadership page. Here's how Apple's executive structure is expected to look in early 2026.CEO Tim Cook will see more changes to the Apple org chart than usual heading into 2026The body of people who run a company isn't static, as people join and leave organizations, and change their roles within them, all the time. With about 164,000 people in its ranks, Apple isn't immune to this phenomenon at all.That said, while most changes will be at low and mid-tier levels of the organizational chart, alterations at the top can have a big impact on everyone else below. Changes at a senior level are certainly impactful, C-level especially so. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums

Faster charging speeds, better heat management, and stronger magnets make wireless charging feel a lot closer to a wired experience. ESR is already out front with hardware that takes full advantage of it, and their new 3-in-1 charging station is one of the best examples yet. more…

Blast from the past! iWeb and Aperture live on (for now) on Apple.com | Macworld
Blast from the past! iWeb and Aperture live on (for now) on Apple.com
Macworld You know, there’s a saying that goes something like, “Once it’s posted on the internet, it lives forever.” Usually, that’s in reference to that cringy social media post you made after pounding several six-packs of White Claw with your buddies. But it also refers to discontinued Apple products that are mostly forgotten. Maxim Leyzerovich on X posted a link that he found on Apple’s website: https://www.apple.com/welcomescreen/ilife/iweb-3/, which is a page for iWeb ’09, one of Apple’s apps that was part of the discontinued iLife software suite. The link is legitimate–Apple still hosts this old product page on a server somewhere, but you can’t really do much on the page. The Click to Play button opens a window for QuickTime, which has a button that takes you to a QuickTime for Windows download page. The Video Tutorials link takes you to Apple’s Mac product site, and the Hands-on Help link takes you to the Apple Store location finder. But wait, there’s more! Kaylemate posted on X this link: https://www.apple.com/welcomescreen/aperture3/, which opens a website for Aperture 3. Like the iWeb ’09 website, the links on the Aperture 3 site don’t really work. Apple iWeb, iLife, and Aperture were discontinued long ago, but they’ve never really been forgotten by longtime Mac users–an Apple as well, it seems. But you can count on these website coming down sooner than later, especially now that we’re calling attention to them. Apple doesn’t like to dwell on the past. If you’re wondering how a gigantic corporation could let something like this happen, well, don’t be too surprised. As anyone who’s tried to build a website before will tell you, it’s easy to overlook a few files on your web host. Maybe a backup restoration was involved, and these old files were part of that. However it happened, it happened. Enjoy the nostalgia while it lasts.

Apple will supply senior managers to advise feds on new US Tech Force | AppleInsider
Apple will supply senior managers to advise feds on new US Tech Force
In order to correct for the overambitious firings of so many federal technologists, the Trump administration has announced a new initiative called the "Tech Force," and is calling on Silicon Valley to staff it.An image shared by the US Tech Force website. Image source: Tech ForceThe United States government has gone through some tumultuous months after a new administration took over, created the Department of Government Efficiency, and promptly fired thousands of federal employees. The haste and seeming randomness of the dissolution of so many teams, programs, and initiatives left the United States floundering on the world stage as it attempts to compete.According to a report from Nextgov, big tech companies will play a role in helping the US government create the Tech Force. Donated senior managers from tech firms would work for the government and be given a leave of absence or sabbatical from their home companies for two years.

What to Expect From Apple This December: iOS 26.3 Beta, Replay 2025, and More | MacRumors
What to Expect From Apple This December: iOS 26.3 Beta, Replay 2025, and More
The calendar has turned to December, and the quieter year-end holiday season is now upon us. Nevertheless, we can still expect a few things from Apple this month. Apple previously announced that iOS 26.2 will be released to the general public in December, and we can expect corresponding updates to be released as well, including iPadOS 26.2, macOS 26.2, watchOS 26.2, tvOS 26.2, and visionOS 26.2. iOS 26.2 brings offline lyrics to Apple Music, allowing you to view a song's lyrics even when you are not connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. The update also lets you customize the Liquid Glass design of the Lock Screen's clock, set alarms for reminders, use AirPods Live Translation if you live in the EU, and more. iPadOS 26.2 allows you to drag and drop apps from the App Library, Dock, and Spotlight into Slide Over and tiled views, restoring some multitasking functionality that had been removed in the iPadOS 18 to iPadOS 26 transition. macOS 26.2 adds an "Edge Light" feature to improve lighting during video calls on a Mac. While you are on a video call, a white border appears around the edges of the screen, mimicking the look of a physical ring light. watchOS 26.2 and iOS 26.2 have revised Sleep Score ranges: Very Low: 0-40 (previously 0-29) Low: 41-60 (previously 30-49) OK: 61-80 (previously 50-69) High: 81-95 (previously 70-89) Very High: 96-100 (previously 90-100)Starting with tvOS 26.2, additional profiles created on the Apple TV no longer require their own separate Apple Account. If the profile is for a kid, the Apple TV app will only display content with up to a PG rating by default. This essentially means that the Apple TV app now has a dedicated kids mode, which is a long-awaited feature for parents. The beta train never stops, of course. Apple will likely seed the first betas of iOS 26.3, iPadOS 26.3, macOS 26.3, watchOS 26.3, tvOS 26.3, and visionOS 26.3 later in December. However, given that Apple's software engineers take time off for the holiday season, do not expect the second betas of each update to arrive until January. The full-year Apple Music Replay playlist for 2025 should be released this December, along with your personalized listening stats and trends for the year. iPhone users running iOS 26 or later can access the Replay experience natively in the Apple Music app, but it also remains available on the web at replay.music.apple.com. Monthly playlists are already available for Apple Music Replay in 2025. Apple will release additional year-end charts and awards this month, across the App Store, Apple Podcasts, and its other services. Apple's hit film "F1" will be available to watch on the Apple TV streaming service starting Friday, December 12, following its theatrical release earlier this year. The film is already available to purchase or rent through the Apple TV app. In the film, Brad Pitt returns to Formula 1 racing after a 30-year absence, for one last shot at glory. Apple Arcade is getting five more games on Thursday, December 4, including endless runner Subway Surfers, the world's most downloaded mobile game. While previous rumors indicated that Apple planned to release new versions of the HomePod mini, Apple TV, and AirTag this year, the odds of that happening still seem quite low by now. Apple has surprised us with a few December product announcements over the years, including AirPods Max in 2020, but keep your expectations very low. Of course, these are only the things that we know to expect, and Apple could have some other announcements in store this December.

Apple Says Original iPhone SE is Now 'Obsolete' | MacRumors
Apple Says Original iPhone SE is Now 'Obsolete'
Apple today added the first-generation iPhone SE to its obsolete products list, meaning the device is no longer eligible for repairs, battery replacements, or any other service at Apple Stores and Apple Authorized Service Providers worldwide. Apple considers a product to be obsolete once seven years have passed since the company stopped distributing it for sale. The original iPhone SE was discontinued in September 2018, so the device recently crossed that seven-year mark. The original iPhone SE was released in March 2016. The device's design is largely based on the iPhone 5s, with key specs including a 4-inch display, a Touch ID home button, and an aluminum and glass frame with chamfered edges. However, the original iPhone SE is powered by a newer A9 chip from the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. "Everyone who wants a smaller phone is going to love iPhone SE," said Apple's former marketing chief Phil Schiller, in a press release announcing the device. Apple went on to release second-generation and third-generation iPhone SE models in April 2020 and March 2022, respectively, with both of those devices having a similar design as the iPhone 8. In February 2025, the iPhone SE was entirely discontinued for the foreseeable future, after it was effectively replaced by the iPhone 16e.Tag: Vintage and Obsolete Apple ProductsRelated Forum: iPhoneThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Here Are the Four MacBooks Apple Is Expected to Launch Next Year | MacRumors
Here Are the Four MacBooks Apple Is Expected to Launch Next Year
2026 could be a bumper year for Apple's Mac lineup, with the company expected to announce as many as four separate MacBook launches. Rumors suggest Apple will court both ends of the consumer spectrum, with more affordable options for students and feature-rich premium lines for users that seek the highest specifications from a laptop. Below is a breakdown of what we're expecting over the next 12 months from Apple's multi-pronged MacBook offering. Got your eye on a particular model? Let us know in the comments what you're most looking forward to. Low-Cost MacBook Apple is preparing to enter the low-cost laptop market for the first time by developing a budget MacBook aimed at luring away customers from Chromebooks and entry-level Windows PCs, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The new device is said to be designed for students, businesses, and casual users, and will target people who mainly browse the web, work on documents, or dabble in light media editing. The new MacBook is said to have a 13-inch display, similar to but slightly smaller than the MacBook Air, and will feature an ultra-thin, lightweight design with a lower-end LCD display. According to reputable industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple is said to be using its A18 Pro chip to power the machine. The A18 Pro chip debuted in the iPhone 16 Pro last year and is around 40% slower than Apple's latest M4 chip, but its multi-core CPU performance is virtually identical to the M1 chip in the 2020 MacBook Air, and it even outperforms the M1 chip for graphics. The A18 Pro chip lacks Thunderbolt support, so the new MacBook would likely be equipped with regular USB-C ports. The current 13-inch MacBook Air starts at $999 in the U.S., so the new MacBook would likely have a starting price of between $699 and $899. The more-affordable MacBook could also come in some fun new colors like Silver, Blue, Pink, and Yellow. MacBook Pro With M5 Pro and M5 Max Apple is going to refresh the rest of the MacBook Pro lineup with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips in early 2026, having already updated its base 14-inch MacBook Pro with a standard M5 chip in October. The M5 series is based on TSMC's third-generation 3-nanometer technology. Based on improvements to the base MacBook Pro with M5 chip, faster SSD performance and higher memory bandwith are also likely for the high-end models. No other major changes are expected, with Apple holding over a completely refreshed design until the M6 models. If Apple retains current pricing levels, the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 Pro chip will start at $1,999, while the 16-inch model with M5 Pro chip will start at $2,399. For the M5 Max equivalents, prices could start at $3,199 for the 14-inch model, and $3,499 for the 16-inch machine. M5 MacBook Air While the M4 MacBook Air model isn't exactly old, attention is already turning to its successor. The M5 series is reportedly being manufactured using TSMC's advanced 3-nanometer process technology, and we have some idea of what to expect in terms of performance, thanks to the recently released M5 iPad Pro: benchmarks show single-core scores around 4,133 and multi-core scores around 15,437. That's roughly a 12-15% jump over the current M4 iPad Pro in both categories. As for graphics performance, the M5 chip appears to have up to a 36% faster GPU compared to the M4 chip. The benchmark suggests Apple has focused on modest clock speed increases and core-level efficiency improvements for the M5 chip, rather than an architecture overhaul. In other words, the M5 will be similar to the step-wise performance upgrade from M3 to M4. Expect 10-15% faster CPU speeds, a slightly more powerful GPU, and better efficiency, potentially leading to even longer battery life. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that Apple plans to roll out M5 versions of the MacBook Air in the first quarter of 2026. Based on previous spring refreshes, this suggests a likely March 2026 window. As for pricing, we expect it to remain stable, with the base model sticking with the current entry-level $999 price. MacBook Pro With Touch-Screen OLED Display Apple is reportedly developing a completely new version of the MacBook Pro packed with next-generation hardware features. The redesigned models are expected to boast M6 chips, which could adopt a completely new packaging based on TSMC's 2nm process that allows components such as the CPU, GPUs, DRAM, and Neural Engine to be more tightly integrated. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says Apple is readying OLED technology for these models. Compared to current MacBook Pro models that use mini-LED screens, the benefits of OLED technology would include increased brightness, higher contrast ratio with deeper blacks, improved power efficiency for longer battery life, and more. In addition, Gurman reports that the new machines will also have "thinner and lighter frames." Apple is apparently focusing on delivering the thinnest possible device without compromising on battery life or major new features. The redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models are also expected to have a hole-punch camera at the top of the display, rather than the notch we've become accustomed to. Gurman says that the design "leaves a display area around the sensor... similar in concept to the Dynamic Island on the iPhone." Apple's first OLED MacBook Pro will also feature a touch screen display, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The claim has since been corroborated by Gurman, noting that the touch-screen MacBook Pro will retain a full trackpad and keyboard. Research firm Omdia says Apple is "highly likely" to introduce new MacBook Pros featuring OLED displays next year, while Gurman has said the new OLED machines are being readied for late 2026 or early 2027. It would be unusual for Apple to introduce two ‌MacBook Pro‌ refreshes in the same year, but there is precedent for it: Apple updated the MacBook Pro lineup twice in 2023, first with M2 Pro/M2 Max chips in January and then with M3/M3 Pro/M3 Max chips in late October. Due to the pricier components, the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros are expected to cost a few hundred dollars more than current versions. Today's models with high-end chips start at $1,999 for the 14-inch version and $2,499 for the 16-inch one.This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Netflix Kills Casting From Its Mobile App to Most Modern TVs | MacRumors
Netflix Kills Casting From Its Mobile App to Most Modern TVs
Netflix has quietly removed the ability to cast content from its mobile apps to most modern TVs and streaming devices, including newer Chromecast models and the Google TV Streamer. The change was first spotted by users on Reddit and confirmed in an updated Netflix support page (via Android Authority), which now states that the streaming service no longer supports casting from mobile devices to most TVs and TV-streaming devices. Users are instead directed to use the remote that came with their TV hardware and use its native Netflix app. The only exception appears to apply to older Chromecast models without remotes, as well as TVs with built-in Google Cast support. However, even on these legacy devices, casting only remains for those on costlier ad-free plans, but it is unavailable for subscribers on Netflix's ad-supported plan. User reports appear to suggest Netflix began removing the Cast button from its mobile apps in mid-November, but the company provided no advance warning to users. One Reddit user said customer service explained that devices with remotes can no longer cast, claiming the decision was made to improve the customer experience. The move bears similarities to Netflix's 2019 decision to remove AirPlay support from its iOS app, citing an inability to distinguish between different AirPlay-enabled devices (i.e., what is an ‌Apple TV‌ vs. what isn't) as Apple expanded the technology to third-party TVs.Tag: NetflixThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

iPhone Fold: Launch, Pricing, and What to Expect From Apple's Foldable | MacRumors
iPhone Fold: Launch, Pricing, and What to Expect From Apple's Foldable
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. Apple will allegedly call the device the "‌iPhone‌ Fold," which is the name the media has already adopted when sharing rumors about the product. 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. 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. Crease Visibility 'Crease-Free' 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, according to analyst Ming-Chi 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 this common issue with foldable devices, according to the analyst. Citing supply chain sources, Chinese site UDN says that Apple has solved "the crease problem" that has plagued most foldable smartphones, and the foldable ‌iPhone‌ will be the first crease-free foldable smartphone on the market. 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 analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. 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 and Fubon Research believe the phone will be either between $1,800 and $2,000 or around $2,399, respectively. 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 2025, while a November report from Chinese site UDN reported that the device has now entered the engineering validation stage, and Apple is gearing up for mass production. 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 forums

M5 iPad Pro Could Hint at New Studio Display Feature | MacRumors
M5 iPad Pro Could Hint at New Studio Display Feature
The updated specs of the M5 iPad Pro may point toward a major new feature for Apple's next-generation Studio Display expected in early 2026. Apple's latest ‌iPad Pro‌ debuted last month and contains one display-related change that stands out: it can now drive external monitors at up to 120Hz with Adaptive Sync. The feature should deliver lower latency, smoother motion, and fewer visual artifacts during workflows such as gaming and video editing, with Adaptive Sync further minimizing latency for rapid-response tasks. This is the first time an iPad has supported 120Hz output to an external monitor and the timing aligns closely with Apple's development of a next-generation Studio Display. Although Macs have long supported 120Hz external displays, Apple has yet to ship a standalone monitor with a refresh rate above 60Hz, and they are fairly unusual in the market as a whole. Rumors from multiple sources suggest Apple is preparing a significant Studio Display update for early 2026. Earlier this year, MacRumors found references in Apple code to a new external monitor codenamed J427, which will include the A19 Pro chip. Display industry analyst Ross Young has said Apple is developing a 27-inch monitor with mini-LED backlighting. Mini-LED technology would improve brightness, contrast, and color performance compared to the current 27-inch 5K LCD panel. It would also bring the monitor in line with the MacBook Pro, which has touted mini-LED technology since 2021. In combination with a potential ProMotion 120Hz refresh rate on the Studio Display, this would bring it fully into line with the ‌MacBook Pro‌. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says Apple plans to release a next-generation Studio Display or equivalent replacement external monitor as soon as early next year alongside new Macs with the M5 chip. Apple launched the Studio Display in March 2022 alongside the Mac Studio. It features a 5K LCD display, 60Hz refresh rate, 600 nits of brightness, built-in camera and speakers with Center Stage and Spatial Audio support, the A13 Bionic chip, "Hey Siri" commands, one Thunderbolt 3 port, and three USB-C ports. Pricing in the U.S. starts at $1,599. The combination of new 120Hz external display support on the M5 ‌iPad Pro‌ and the increasing likelihood of a major Studio Display refresh early next year adds weight to the idea that Apple is preparing a higher refresh rate for its upcoming monitor, but it remains speculation for now.This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Top Stories: Black Friday Apple Deals, iOS 26.2 and iOS 27 Rumors, and More
Black Friday holiday shopping is in full swing, and we're staying on top of the best deals on Apple products and more, so make sure you don't miss out. In other Apple news this week, we've recapped the features coming in iOS 26.2, which should be seeing a public release in just a few weeks, while we're also starting to hear about what we can expect to see in iOS 27 next year, so read on below for all the details on these stories and more! Top Stories The 30+ Best Black Friday Apple Deals Still Available on AirPods, iPads, MacBooks, and More The Black Friday/Cyber Monday shopping season is here, and we're tracking the year's best prices on AirPods, iPads, Apple Watches, Macs, and more. Make sure to check out the list so you don't miss out! Aside from products, another hot category for Black Friday deals is streaming services, with many offering steep discounts to lure new subscribers. Apple has even joined the party this year with a massive discount on Apple TV subscriptions. iOS 26.2 Will Bring 10+ New Features to Your iPhone Apple is testing iOS 26.2, a new version of iOS 26 that’s going to come out right around mid-December. iOS 26.2 is going to bring big changes to iPhone users in Japan, but there are also quite a few feature tweaks available for everyone. We’ve rounded up all of the new features your ‌iPhone‌ will get in iOS 26.2, so make sure to check out our list of what's coming. Apple Launches Second Limited-Edition iPhone Accessory in a Month Fresh on the heels of the iPhone Pocket that has now sold out worldwide, Apple has released a second limited-edition accessory with the Hikawa Phone Grip and Stand. The new grip and stand, which also quickly sold out through Apple, is an accessibility-minded accessory that attaches to an iPhone via MagSafe. It was designed by LA-based Bailey Hikawa with direct input from individuals with disabilities affecting muscle strength, dexterity, and hand control. Foldable iPhone to Debut These Three Breakthrough Features We're continuing to hear rumors about the so-called "iPhone Fold," which is now expected to include three standout features that could set it apart from the competition. Key rumored features include an industry-first 24-megapixel under-display camera built into the inner display, a crease-free design for the inner display, and a battery consisting of high-density cells that should give it the highest-capacity battery of any iPhone and top that of key competitors like Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold7 and Google's Pixel Fold. All of this certainly won't come cheap, however, with one recent report predicting that prices will be in the $2,400 range. iOS 27 Will Reportedly Have Two Key Upgrades iOS 27 will reportedly have two major elements: quality improvements and new AI features. In his Power On newsletter this week, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said that iOS 27 will be similar to Mac OS X Snow Leopard, in the sense that Apple is focused on improving "quality and underlying performance" over adding new features. Gurman said there is one exception to this rule, though, as he expects there to be new AI features. He said that iOS 27 will extend artificial intelligence to additional Apple apps, and he reiterated that there will be an Apple Health+ subscription service that offers personalized health recommendations and more. Report: Low-Cost iPhone, iPad, MacBook Coming Early 2026 Apple is planning to release new entry-level models across its iPhone, iPad, and Mac categories early next year, with an all-new affordable MacBook the most notable addition to the lineup. According to a new research report by Jeff Pu of GF Securities seen by MacRumors, Apple will launch the iPhone 17e – its second iteration of the "e" line – in the spring, likely along with a 12th-generation iPad, and a new MacBook featuring an A-series chip originally made for ‌iPhones‌. MacRumors Newsletter Each week, we publish an email newsletter like this highlighting the top Apple stories, making it a great way to get a bite-sized recap of the week hitting all of the major topics we've covered and tying together related stories for a big-picture view.

Use ChatGPT as Your iPhone's Action Button Assistant | MacRumors
Use ChatGPT as Your iPhone's Action Button Assistant
Apple doesn't currently allow iPhone users to change the Side button's Siri functionality to another assistant, but owners of iPhone 15 Pro and newer models can assign ChatGPT to the Action button instead. Keep reading to learn how. OpenAI's free ChatGPT app for iPhone lets you interact with the chatbot using text or voice. What's more, if you assign voice mode directly to the Action button, you can use it to jump straight into a spoken conversation, giving you quick, handsfree access to a far more capable assistant. Install the ChatGPT app, then sign into your account or create a new one. Next, open the Settings app. Tap Action Button. Swipe to Controls, then tap the two chevrons beside the currently assigned control. Using the control search field, type "ChatGPT." Select the control Open ChatGPT Voice. A long press of the Action button will now open ChatGPT's voice mode. The first time you activate it, the app may request microphone access. Tap Allow to proceed. After that, you can begin speaking immediately. A recent update means voice conversations now take place inside the same chat window as text-based prompts, instead of switching to a separate voice-only interface. Responses appear in real time, combining spoken output with on-screen text and any visuals the model generates. This keeps your conversation's context intact and makes switching between typing and speaking smoother. Continue the Conversation Anywhere You can also leave the ChatGPT app during a voice session without ending it. When you swipe away, the conversation continues and appears in the Dynamic Island as long as the assistant is listening and preparing a response. To stop, tap the Dynamic Island to return to the app, then tap End. Note that while this setup gives you a fast, physical shortcut to a richer, more context-aware assistant, ChatGPT can't perform Siri-like system actions like accessing your calendar or setting an alarm.Tag: ChatGPTThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

The MacRumors Show: Apple's Big Plans for iPad Mini 8 | MacRumors
The MacRumors Show: Apple's Big Plans for iPad Mini 8
On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we talk through the latest rumors about Apple's upcoming iPad mini 8. Subscribe to The MacRumors Show YouTube channel for more videos The next-generation version of the ‌iPad mini‌ is expected to feature an OLED display, as part of Apple's plan to expand the display technology across many more of its devices. Apple's first OLED device was the Apple Watch in 2015, followed by the iPhone in 2017 and the iPad Pro in 2024. It now apparently plans to bring the technology to more devices, such as the iPad Air, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro, and could start with the ‌iPad mini‌ next year. The current ‌iPad mini‌ has a Liquid Retina LCD display, just like the ‌iPad Air‌. OLED offers higher contrast with true blacks, wider viewing angles, faster response times, better efficiency, and generally better perceived picture quality than LCD. The current ‌iPad mini‌ came out in 2024, with the main upgrade over the previous version being the A17 Pro chip and Apple Intelligence support. The previous generation introduced a complete redesign and the A15 Bionic chip. In August, Apple mistakenly shared code that revealed key information about the next-generation ‌iPad mini‌ with the codename J510/J511: The device features the A19 Pro chip, which is used in the iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ Max. The current ‌iPad mini‌ uses a version of the A17 Pro chip from the ‌iPhone‌ 15 Pro with a five-core GPU. The A19 Pro used in the ‌iPhone Air‌ also has a five-core GPU, as opposed to the full six-core version in the ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ models, so it seems likely that this binned version of the chip will be the one used in the next ‌iPad mini‌. Bloomberg claims that Apple is working on a version of the ‌iPad mini‌ that has a more water resistant design, making it the first iPad with a water resistance rating. While the ‌iPhone‌ has IP68 water resistance that allows it to withstand submersion in water up to six meters deep for 30 minutes, it is not yet known what IP rating the ‌iPad mini‌ might feature. The ‌iPad mini‌'s updated casing is expected to offer water resistance similar to the ‌iPhone‌, making it safe for casual use in wet environments like a bath or a pool area. Apple has reportedly developed a new speaker system for the ‌iPad mini‌ that uses vibration-based technology, allowing for the speaker holes in the device to be removed. Removing the speaker holes would cut down on areas where water could get into the crevices of the ‌iPad mini‌. For the ‌iPhone‌, Apple uses adhesive and gaskets to protect the speaker holes and other ingress points from water intrusion, so the ‌iPad mini‌'s design would be radically different. The current ‌iPad mini‌ does not have an official water resistance rating and it is not safe to get it wet. With an OLED display, water resistance, a new speaker system, and a faster chip, the device is expected to be more expensive, and Apple could charge up to $100 more for the device. The ‌iPad mini‌ is currently priced starting at $499. Apple will purportedly launch the ‌iPad mini‌ 8 with OLED display in the third quarter of next year at the earliest. We also discuss further thoughts on the M5 Vision Pro, weighing up its utility for travel and day-to-day use-case, and take a look at the growing differentiation and optionality within Apple's product lineups.
