Apple VP Behind Activity Rings Retiring After Misconduct Claims
Apple's vice president of fitness technologies Jay Blahnik will retire this summer, bringing to an end a 13-year stint with Apple that was marred by accusations that he created a toxic work environment and sexually harassed an employee. In an email to employees this week, Apple said Blahnik, 57, will retire in July "to spend time with his family and make an exciting move to New York City," according to The New York Times. Blahnik joined Apple in 2013 after two decades as a consultant at Nike. He played a central role in developing the Apple Watch's iconic Activity rings (the three colored circles that users close daily by exercising, standing, and burning calories) and later oversaw Fitness+, Apple's subscription workout service featuring video classes for strength work, HIIT, cycling, meditation, yoga, and more. His leadership of the Fitness+ team however drew serious complaints. In an August 2025 report by the Times, nine current and former employees accused Blahnik of being "verbally abusive, manipulative and inappropriate." More than 10 of the roughly 100 employees on his team had sought extended mental health or medical leaves of absence since 2022, the report said. Apple settled one complaint alleging sexual harassment by Blahnik and is currently defending him in a separate lawsuit brought by employee Mandana Mofidi, who accused him of bullying. That case is scheduled to go to trial next year. When employees raised concerns about Blahnik's conduct, Apple initiated an internal investigation and found no evidence of wrongdoing, so Blahnik remained in his role. At the time, Apple spokesperson Lance Lin called the NYT report full of "many inaccurate claims and mischaracterizations," but didn't specify which claims the company disputed. It's unclear who will succeed Blahnik at Fitness+. Meanwhile, the future of Fitness+ is itself said to be "under review," according to Bloomberg, with services chief Eddy Cue apparently "considering changes" to the service. Apple Fitness+ launched in 2020. In the U.S., the service costs $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year. Apple Fitness+ is also available as part of the Apple One Premier bundle, with U.S. pricing set at $37.95 per month.Tags: Apple Fitness Plus, New York TimesThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Amazon Reportedly in Talks to Buy Apple Satellite Partner Globalstar
Apple's 20 percent stake in satellite partner Globalstar has become a sticking point in Amazon's reported bid to acquire the company, according to the Financial Times ($). Amazon is in talks to buy Globalstar in a deal that would value the satellite telecommunications firm at roughly $9 billion, as part of a broader push to compete with SpaceX's Starlink. But Apple's ownership interest – acquired as part of a $1.5 billion investment in 2024 – has required separate negotiations between the two tech giants, the report says. Under its existing agreement with Globalstar, Apple has access to 85 percent of the company's satellite network capacity for iPhone features including Emergency SOS, Messages via satellite, and Find My location updates. It's unclear how an Amazon acquisition would affect that arrangement. Apple has not publicly commented on the talks, and no deal has been finalized. Discussions could still fall apart, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke to FT. Amazon currently has more than 180 satellites in orbit through its own satellite internet program, known as Leo, but that figure is dwarfed by SpaceX's fleet of over 10,000 active satellites. Bloomberg reported in October that Globalstar was exploring a sale and had held early talks with SpaceX. Apple is working on a series of new satellite connectivity features for the iPhone which will apparently require upgrades to Globalstar's infrastructure. They include Apple Maps via satellite, photos in Messages via satellite, connectivity in indoors environments, satellite over 5G, and a satellite API for third-party apps.

iPhone 18 Pro Reportedly Won't Come in Black
Apple offers the iPhone 17 Pro and ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ Max in just three colors – Silver, Cosmic Orange, and Deep Blue – but notably there's no black option. Last year was the first time Apple's high-end iPhones have not been available with a black or dark gray color option in any way, but those hoping for the return of black this year for the iPhone 18 Pro should look away now. Image credit: Instant Digital According to Weibo-based leaker Instant Digital, Apple won't be offering its next-generation premium models in a black color option. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has suggested that Apple is testing a deep red finish for the iPhone 18 Pro models, alongside a couple of more traditional color options. But black doesn't appear to be one of them. It was previously rumored that Apple was also considering purple and brown finishes for the iPhone 18 Pro models, but Gurman has said he believes those color options are "just variants of the same red idea." There's better news for anyone planning to buy Apple's rumored foldable iPhone in a more traditional finish. Gurman said Apple plans to "stay away from fun colors" and stick to more conservative space gray/black and silver/white colors. Instant Digital has a good track record for Apple rumors and has provided some strikingly accurate information ahead of time, such as the imminent launch of 2023's Yellow iPhone 14, as well as the frosted back glass of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. The iPhone 18 Pro models are expected to launch in September, with the foldable iPhone potentially arriving later in the year.Related Roundup: iPhone 18 ProTag: Instant DigitalThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Tim Cook Says iPhone Launch Was His Favorite Apple Moment in 50th Anniversary Interview
For its 50th anniversary celebration, Apple invited The Wall Street Journal's Ben Cohen to Apple Park to meet up with Apple CEO Tim Cook. Cohen and Cook took a look at rare archival materials from the early days of Apple, some of which Cook wasn't even familiar with. Cook said that he had seen a lot of the devices for the first time while preparing for Apple's 50th anniversary. Items on display included the first patent Apple filed, which was for the Apple II, the original 2001 iPod, early iPhone components and prototypes, the Apple Watch Cook wore on stage when announcing the device, and more. According to Cook, the launch of the iPhone was his favorite moment at Apple. When asked why, he said it was because a phone was something everyone at Apple was using every day.We were using that generation's smart phone, and it was such an awful experience. And I love the fact that all of a sudden you had this touch interface, and it worked like your mind worked. Cook declined to speak on future products, but he suggested Apple's next hit would be something that "finds the intersection of hardware, software, and services." Cook also declined to comment on talk about him retiring. "My answer to that is when the day comes, I'll know it," he said. Apple celebrated its 50th anniversary with a Paul McCartney concert for employees last night, and today, in addition to speaking with the ‌Wall Street Journal‌, Cook sent out a heartfelt letter to employees. Today officially marks Apple's 50th anniversary. And as we've celebrated that milestone this month, I've been reflecting on some powerful words from Steve. "When you grow up, you tend to get told that the world is the way it is," he said. "But life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. You can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use. Once you learn that, you'll never be the same again." This is the ethos that brought Apple into the world in 1976--and for fifty years, it's what has drawn the smartest, most passionate, most creative and most committed people to this company. We come here to do the best work of our lives, and to reach beyond what any of us could do alone. To be part of a culture that asks us to stay curious, to collaborate deeply, to demand excellence of ourselves and the people around us, and to believe--genuinely believe--that we can do the impossible. Across our teams and across generations, we've been united by a simple belief: the future isn't something you wait for. It's something you build. And it is staggering to think of everything we've built together. Fifty years ago, there was a single computer prototype in a garage. Today, there are 2.5 billion active Apple devices in the hands of people in every corner of the earth - helping them create, communicate, learn and connect in ways that would have seemed unimaginable then. It's impossible to fully quantify the profound impact this company and its people have had on the world. And it's a truly special thing to do what we do every day, knowing that our work is squarely focused on empowering people and enriching their lives. Whether you joined this year or have been here for dozens of years, I hope you take a minute to reflect on how much your work means. Thank you. Thank you for pushing yourselves further than you thought you could go. Thank you for believing in our mission and holding fast to our values. Thank you for dedicating yourself to something so much bigger than any one of us. As extraordinary as it is to reflect on the past fifty years, what excites me most is what comes next. The opportunities ahead of us are among the greatest we have ever seen - and there's no team in the world better positioned to meet them. Thank you for everything and here's to the next fifty years. Prior to today, Apple also celebrated its 50th anniversary with a series of concerts and events around the world.Tags: Apple 50th Anniversary, Tim CookThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple's (PRODUCT)RED Era is Over, But What About the iPhone 18 Pro?
Apple's final product in (PRODUCT)RED is no longer available, as the iPhone 14 Silicone Case in that color was marked as sold out on its online store last month. Since 2006, Apple has partnered with the (RED) brand to raise money for The Global Fund, an organization that aims to combat diseases such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria in Africa. Through this partnership, Apple had long offered a (PRODUCT)RED option for some products, but the color is no longer available at all. While the (PRODUCT)RED era is over for now, the color could always make a return one day. The upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will reportedly be available in a "deep red" finish, but this might look more like burgundy than bright red, so it remains to be seen if Apple revives the (PRODUCT)RED brand for that. (RED) was co-founded by U2 singer Bono, and Apple's partnership with the brand goes back to the Steve Jobs days. Apple continues to support The Global Fund through its annual Apple Pay donation program, which raised $3 million last year. So, PRODUCT(RED) is over for now, but Apple's partnership with (RED) remains alive. Apple offered a variety of iPod, iPhone, and Apple Watch models in (PRODUCT)RED over the years, with some of the most recent products available in the color being the iPhone SE 3, iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, and Apple Watch Series 9. A variety of iPhone cases, Apple Watch bands, and other accessories also came in the color.Related Roundup: iPhone 18 ProTag: (PRODUCT)REDThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Adds Another iPad to Vintage Products List
Apple today updated its vintage and obsolete product page to add the Wi-Fi version of the third-generation iPad Air. Cellular ‌iPad Air‌ 3 models were already on the list, but the Wi-Fi models were sold for a longer period of time, and are now just appearing. The ‌iPad Air‌ 3 was released in March 2019, five years after the prior-generation ‌iPad Air‌ 2. It was a new iPad in Apple's tablet lineup, featuring the same design as the 2017 iPad Pro with 10.5-inch display, A12 Bionic chip, and support for the first-generation Apple Pencil. It was one of the last iPads to feature a Lightning port and Home button before Apple transitioned to USB-C, an all-display design, and a Touch ID power button. It's also the last version of the ‌iPad Air‌ that featured white bezels around the display. Apple discontinued the ‌iPad Air‌ 3 in September 2020 with the launch of the ‌iPad Air‌ 4. Some devices had an issue with screen flickering flashing, or dying, leading to a recall program where Apple replaced affected models for up to two years from the purchase date. Apple adds a product to its "vintage" list when it has been five years since it was last distributed for sale, and then it becomes "obsolete" at the seven-year mark. With vintage products, Apple retail locations and Apple Authorized Service Providers can do repairs if the required parts are available. Devices that are obsolete are generally not eligible for repair and Apple stops providing repair components. Earlier this week, Apple added the 13-inch 2017 MacBook Air to its vintage list, and moved the iPad mini 4 and the 32GB Apple TV HD to its obsolete product list.Tag: Vintage and Obsolete Apple ProductsThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

iOS 27 Rumored to Feature Keyboard Upgrade
Apple has tested an updated iPhone keyboard with autocorrect enhancements, according to a report this week from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The report said the keyboard "expands autocorrect by offering alternative words," similar to tools like Grammarly. "It suggests alternative words in addition to word fixes like today's autocorrect," said Gurman, in a follow-up social media post. Grammarly evolved to use AI in recent years, so perhaps the iPhone keyboard's expanded autocorrect system would be powered by Apple Intelligence. The report did not provide any further details, so we will have to wait and see. Gurman briefly touched on the keyboard plans in a report focused on how Siri may be able to handle multiple requests in a single query on iOS 27. Apple has not made a final decision on whether to release the updated keyboard, according to Gurman, but it would presumably debut as part of iOS 27 as well if it does materialize. The first developer beta of iOS 27 is expected to be released in June, and the software update should be widely released in September. iOS 26.4 already "improved keyboard accuracy when typing quickly," according to Apple's release notes for that update, released last week.Related Roundup: iOS 27Tags: Bloomberg, Mark GurmanThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Siri in iOS 27: Everything We Know
We're only months away from our first look at Apple's smarter, redesigned version of Siri. iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 will focus on an entirely revamped version of ‌Siri‌, and rumors about what we can expect are picking up. Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos. There's a chatbot version of ‌Siri‌ in the works that will change the way that we use Apple's personal assistant. ‌Siri‌ will be more like Claude or ChatGPT, marking a major improvement in how ‌Siri‌ works and what it can do. SiriBot With ‌iOS 27‌, Apple is turning ‌Siri‌ into a chatbot. Right now, ‌Siri‌ can answer common questions and complete simple tasks, but you can't engage it in a back and forth conversation, get help with multi-step tasks, or ask complicated questions with multiple steps in one query. Based on the ‌Siri‌ chatbot rumors, ‌Siri‌ will be able to do all of that and more with the upcoming upgrade, and it will work like competing chatbots. Apple wasn't initially planning to introduce a full chatbot like ChatGPT, but chatbots have become too popular for Apple to ignore. Simply adding AI capabilities to apps and features isn't enough for Apple to stay competitive with the way people have embraced chatbots for everything from web searches to coding help. Google has already integrated Gemini into its Android device lineup, and chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude have hundreds of millions of weekly active users. Apple can't afford not to compete. Standalone Siri App When ‌Siri‌ evolves into a Apple-designed chatbot, it will launch alongside a standalone ‌Siri‌ app. The ‌Siri‌ app will look similar to apps from other companies like OpenAI, displaying a grid or list of past ‌Siri‌ conversations. ‌Siri‌ will support text and voice-based conversations, and there will be options to favorite chats, search for content within chats, initiate new chats, and save chats. Conversations with ‌Siri‌ will apparently resemble iMessage conversations, with Apple adopting chat bubbles. New conversations will start with suggested prompts on what users can ask ‌Siri‌. Deep Integration While there will be a standalone ‌Siri‌ app for back-and-forth conversations, ‌Siri‌ will be deeply integrated into Apple devices at the system level. ‌Siri‌ will be activated the same way as today, by speaking the ‌Siri‌ wake word or pressing on the side button of a Siri-enabled device. ‌Siri‌ will be able to respond to both voice and text-based requests. Siri Capabilities ‌Siri‌ will be able to do what current chatbots can do, such as searching the web with visually rich results, providing summaries, and evaluating uploaded documents. The personal assistant will still be integrated into Apple devices. ‌Siri‌ integration will replace the current Spotlight search functionality, but Apple plans to keep and expand on ‌Siri‌ Suggestions. ‌Siri‌ Suggestions will have more access to user data to provide more relevant prompts. Search the web for information Generate images Generate content Summarize information Analyze uploaded files Use personal data to complete tasks Ingest information from emails, messages, files and more Analyze open windows and on-screen content to take action Control device features and settings Search for on-device content, replacing Spotlight ‌Siri‌ will also be integrated into Apple's core apps, including Mail, Messages, Apple TV, Xcode, and Photos. ‌Siri‌ will be able to search for specific images, edit photos, help with coding, make suggestions for TV shows and movies, and send emails. New Look Chatbot ‌Siri‌ will have an updated look to go along with the dedicated app. Activating ‌Siri‌ will have a new animation that prompts the user to search or ask a question, and Bloomberg says Apple is testing a version of ‌Siri‌ integrated into the Dynamic Island. Apple's test interface includes a glowing ‌Siri‌ icon and a "searching" label in the ‌Dynamic Island‌ while ‌Siri‌ is processing a request, and once done, ‌Siri‌ expands into a larger translucent panel with the results. Pulling down on the menu initiates an interface for a conversation. Apple may also integrate an "Ask ‌Siri‌" button into the menus of other apps, giving users a way to send content directly to ‌Siri‌ alongside a request. The iOS keyboard could get a Write with ‌Siri‌ option that surfaces Writing Tools. Memory Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini can remember past conversations and interactions, retaining a memory of the user. Apple is said to be discussing how much the ‌Siri‌ chatbot will be able to remember. Apple may limit conversational memory to protect user privacy. Third-Party Chatbot Integrations Apple will allow third-party AI chatbots to integrate with Siri in ‌iOS 27‌. Apple already has a partnership with OpenAI that lets ‌Siri‌ hand questions off to ChatGPT, but that integration will expand to chatbots from other companies like Google and Anthropic. An iPhone user with the Claude or Gemini app installed will be able to send questions from ‌Siri‌ to those chatbots, similar to how the OpenAI integration works today. iPhone users will be able to choose which services they want to use inside ‌Siri‌ through a new "Extensions" option coming to the ‌Siri‌ and Apple Intelligence section in the Settings app. Promised iOS 18 Features ‌Apple Intelligence‌ ‌Siri‌ features that were originally planned for iOS 18 will finally be introduced in ‌iOS 27‌, with ‌Siri‌ able to use personal data and context to answer queries. ‌Siri‌ will also be able to do more in and between apps, and will be able to see what's on the user's screen. Apple promised that those features would appear before the end of 2026. Underlying Architecture and Servers Apple has inked a deal with Google that will see Gemini powering upcoming versions of ‌Siri‌. Apple plans to use Gemini for the ‌Siri‌ chatbot and the other ‌Siri‌ features coming in ‌iOS 27‌. "Apple and Google have entered into a multi-year collaboration under which the next generation of Apple Foundation Models will be based on Google's Gemini models and cloud technology," the two companies said in a statement in January. The ‌Siri‌ chatbot will rely on a custom AI model developed by the Google Gemini team. Gurman claims that the custom model is comparable to Gemini 3, and that it is more powerful than models Apple has developed in-house. Apple and Google are also discussing running the ‌Siri‌ chatbot on Google's servers powered by Tensor Processing Units, probably because Apple doesn't yet have the infrastructure to handle chatbot queries from billions of active devices per day. Launch Date Apple is planning to introduce ‌Siri‌'s chatbot capabilities when it announces ‌iOS 27‌, iPadOS 27, and ‌macOS 27‌ at the June Worldwide Developers Conference, which starts on Monday, June 8. It is still unclear which ‌Siri‌ features Apple will be ready to unveil, and some could be held for future updates.

Apple Issues Rare iOS 18 Security Update to Protect Against DarkSword Exploit
Apple today released a new build of iOS 18.7.7 and iPadOS 18.7.7, presumably with a fix for the DarkSword exploit. Apple told Wired that it would release an iOS 18 update for more devices, allowing users with auto-update turned on to receive the security update. iOS 18.7.7 was initially limited to the iPhone XS and XR models, but it is now available for other iPhones. Apple is pushing the iOS 18 fix to customers who have decided not to upgrade to iOS 26, but the company encourages users with supported devices to update to ‌iOS 26‌ to get better protection. Devices running ‌iOS 26‌ are already protected against DarkSword, which is a vulnerability that allows a malicious entity to take over an iPhone if the iPhone user visits a website with infected code. It is highly unusual for Apple to provide a security update to iOS 18 users who simply don't want to upgrade to ‌iOS 26‌, as Apple uses security fixes as a way to push people to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS that their device supports. DarkSword has received quite a bit of attention, and it has been used by hacker groups to break into the iPhones of people in Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Ukraine. The exploit kit has also been posted to open source code repository GitHub, which makes it more widely available to bad actors.Related Forums: iOS 18, iPadOS 18This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple CEO Tim Cook Explains His Relationship With Trump
Apple's CEO Tim Cook has maintained a working relationship with U.S. President Donald Trump, and he touched on that in a recent interview. Cook sat down with Esquire's Ryan D'Agostino to discuss Apple's 50th anniversary, but he was also asked about how he navigates the Trump administration. Cook responded by saying that "the Trump administration is very accessible." "So you can talk with them about your point of view on things," said Cook. "They may not agree, but you can engage. You can be heard. You may not, in the end, be able to convince. But engagement for me, not just in the U.S. but around the world, is so important because it is very complex, working through local laws, local customs, local culture, local regulations. Every country is its own story. Everybody's looks at things differently." "The only way you get a feel for that is to sit before someone and communicate and engage," he added. "If you went in my conference room, you would see the Teddy Roosevelt quote 'It is not the critic who counts.' I've never believed that just yelling from the sideline about plus or minus was a good strategy. Your voice just goes into the wind." Cook went on to say that it is important to have "values that are consistent," and he assured that Apple's values and his own have not changed. He emphasized Apple's focus on user privacy, the environment, accessibility, and education. "So you'll see me everywhere, and you'll wonder 'oh, he's meeting with somebody that has a different view than him,'" Cook concluded. "I think that's good. I think it's good. I think a problem in the world right now is that it's so polarized and different views aren't shared or discussed. They just become hardened. And I don't think that's good." In an interview last month, Cook said he is "not a political person." "I interact on policy, not politics," he said.Tags: Donald Trump, Tim CookThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Discusses AirPods Max 2, Says H2 Chip Has More to Offer in Future
TechRadar's Jacob Krol recently sat down with Apple's VP of Platform Architecture Tim Millet and Director of Audio Product Marketing Eric Treski to discuss the AirPods Max 2, including the H2 chip and increased active noise cancellation. AirPods Max 2 have the same overall design as the previous generation, with most of the improvements coming from the upgrade to the H2 chip, including up to 1.5× more active noise cancellation, enhanced sound quality, and features such as Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, Voice Isolation, and Live Translation. Even still, Apple suggested that the H2 chip has more to offer, with future AirPods Max 2 firmware updates likely to unlock additional features. "H2 is this platform that continues to demonstrate that it has continued headroom," said Millet. Regarding the up to 1.5× more active noise cancellation, Apple said it is not a cherry-picked stat. "We take that average at 1.5 times across an average of all frequencies," said Treski. "We're not cherry-picking individual frequencies or a certain range." TechRadar's interview contains more comments from Millet and Treski, so be sure to check it out if you are interested in learning more. AirPods Max 2 are available at Apple Stores and began arriving to customers starting today.Related Roundup: AirPods Max 2Tag: H2 ChipBuyer's Guide: AirPods Max (Buy Now)Related Forum: AirPodsThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

iPhone 17e vs. iPhone 17 Buyer's Guide: 35+ Differences Compared
The iPhone 17e and iPhone 17 are among the most affordable iPhones in Apple's current lineup, separated by just $200, but the gap between them is more significant than the price difference alone suggests. The $599 ‌iPhone 17e‌ is Apple's budget-first option, built around the efficient C1X modem and a single-camera system. The $799 ‌iPhone 17‌, meanwhile, represents a substantial update over the iPhone 16, featuring a larger display with ProMotion, a much-improved Ultra Wide camera, a brighter panel, and significantly longer battery life. Understanding where the 17e makes compromises is key to making the right choice. Our guide helps to answer the question of how to decide which of these two iPhones is best for you. The two devices share the same A19 chip and main rear camera system. Both support Face ID, MagSafe charging, USB-C, and Apple Intelligence. Here is everything that differs between them: ‌iPhone 17e‌ (2026) ‌iPhone 17‌ (2025) 6.1-inch display 6.3-inch display "Notch" Dynamic Island 60Hz display ProMotion for refresh rates up to 120Hz Always-On display 800 nits max brightness (typical) 1,000 nits max brightness (typical) 1,200 nits peak brightness (HDR) 1,600 nits peak brightness (HDR) 3,000 nits peak brightness (outdoor) Available in White, Black, and Soft Pink Available in Lavender, Sage, Mist Blue, White, and Black 12-megapixel front-facing camera 18-megapixel front-facing camera Tap to zoom and rotate on front-facing camera Center Stage front-facing camera Ultra-stabilized video on front-facing camera 48-megapixel Ultra Wide camera 1x or 2x optical zoom options 0.5x, 1x, or 2x optical zoom options Optical image stabilization Sensor-shift optical image stabilization Photographic Styles Latest-generation Photographic Styles Macro photography Spatial photos and videos Cinematic mode (up to 4K Dolby Vision at 30 fps) Action mode Dual Capture (up to 4K Dolby Vision at 30 fps) Camera Control 4-core GPU with Neural Accelerators 5-core GPU with Neural Accelerators Apple C1X modem Qualcomm Snapdragon X80 modem mmWave 5G connectivity Wi-Fi 6 connectivity Wi-Fi 7 connectivity Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity Bluetooth 6 connectivity Apple N1 chip for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Thread connectivity Ultra Wideband chip for Precision Finding GPS Precision dual-frequency GPS 26-hour battery life 30-hour battery life Up to 50% charge in 30 minutes with 20W adapter or higher Up to 50% charge in 20 minutes with 40W adapter or higher 256GB or 512GB storage 256GB or 512GB storage Starts at $599 Starts at $799 Released March 2026 Released September 2025 For most buyers choosing between these two devices, the ‌iPhone 17e‌ is the default choice. At $200 less, it delivers the same A19 chip and main rear camera as the ‌iPhone 17‌, with an excellent 26-hour battery life and ‌Apple Intelligence‌ support. The ‌iPhone 17e‌ is an outstanding device for price-conscious customers. That said, the ‌iPhone 17‌ is a substantially more capable device across several areas that will matter to many buyers. The jump to a 6.3-inch ProMotion display with Always-On is one of the most significant display upgrades ever to come to a non-Pro iPhone. The ‌iPhone 17‌ also brings a peak outdoor brightness of 3,000 nits versus the 17e's 800 nits, which makes a dramatic difference in direct sunlight. The camera gap is also wide. The ‌iPhone 17‌'s 48-megapixel Ultra Wide represents a major increase in utility over the 17e, which has no Ultra Wide camera at all. The 17 also gains Camera Control, macro photography, Spatial photo and video capture, Cinematic mode, Action mode, and a significantly upgraded 18-megapixel front-facing camera with Center Stage and Dual Capture. If you shoot video regularly, take a lot of selfies, or use your camera as a creative tool, the ‌iPhone 17‌ is the meaningfully better device. The two devices also differ significantly in design. The ‌iPhone 17e‌ carries forward a form factor based on the iPhone 13, with flatter edges and a traditional notch, while the ‌iPhone 17‌ features a more modern design with softer, more rounded edges and the ‌Dynamic Island‌ in place of a notch. The ‌iPhone 17‌ also offers a wider selection of colors, with five options compared to the 17e's three. For buyers upgrading from an iPhone 13 or older, either model will feel like a dramatic improvement, but the ‌iPhone 17‌ is the better long-term investment given the display and camera advantages. The ‌iPhone 17e‌ is an excellent value at $599 and it makes very few compromises on the fundamentals, but the ‌iPhone 17‌ offers so much more for $200 extra that it is hard to argue against if your budget allows. A larger display with ProMotion and the ‌Dynamic Island‌, a vastly more capable camera system, and four additional hours of battery life represent a meaningful quality-of-life upgrade. New buyers who want the most complete iPhone experience at the lower end of the lineup should strongly consider spending the extra $200 for the ‌iPhone 17‌.Related Roundups: iPhone 17, iPhone 17eBuyer's Guide: iPhone 17 (Neutral), iPhone 17e (Buy Now)Related Forum: iPhoneThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Stop Your iPhone Suppressing Background Audio in Videos
In iOS, Apple's Audio Zoom feature automatically focuses your iPhone's microphones on whatever you've zoomed in on while recording video. It's great for isolating a subject in a noisy environment, but it can also strip away the ambient sound that can give your footage a broader context. Fortunately, iOS 26.4 adds a dedicated toggle for Audio Zoom so you can decide for yourself when it's truly required. What Is Audio Zoom? Audio Zoom is likely to be most useful if you're recording at a concert, sporting event, or any scenario where you want to isolate a specific sound source from a noisy environment. But what if you want to capture the full acoustic experience rather than just the subject you've zoomed in on? In those situations, the audio narrowing effect could risk making your video sound flat and unnatural. In iOS 26.4, Audio Zoom is on by default, but now you can also turn it off. If you haven't updated yet, head to Settings ➝ General ➝ Software Update on your iPhone to download the latest version. Once you're up and running, here's how to find the setting: Open Settings on your iPhone. Scroll down and tap Camera. Tap Record Sound. Toggle Audio Zoom on or off. Note that Audio Zoom only works when Spatial Audio or Stereo is selected as your recording format. If you've switched to Mono, the option will be grayed out. If you shoot a lot of zoomed-in video and want the clearest possible audio of your subject, it's best to leave Audio Zoom enabled. But if you prefer capturing the full ambient soundscape of a scene regardless of zoom level, be sure to switch it off.This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Review: Alogic's Edge 5K Display Offers an Ultrawide Big-Screen Experience
Accessory company Alogic has been releasing an increasing number of displays, and the latest model arrives as a 40-inch 5K2K ultrawide model that joins existing 34-inch and 40-inch 4K models in the Edge family. I've been testing out the new 40-inch 5K2K model for the past few months, and I've found it to be a solid display offering major screen real estate for productivity users. As a 40-inch ultrawide display, the Edge 5K is big, and it arrives in a fairly large box, although it is packaged efficiently with styrofoam padding, stand parts, and other accessories nestled around the massive display. The Edge 5K is available in either silver or space gray, and setup is simple, with a large metal foot that's attractively thin paired with a solid arm that features a cable passthrough for organization. The two stand pieces attach easily to each other with a single screw that can be tightened by hand or with a screwdriver, and the whole stand snaps easily into the back of the display. Alternatively, you can use any sturdy 100×100mm VESA mount if you prefer a different method of supporting the display. A separate 180-watt power brick powers the display and attached accessories, and it can push up to 90 watts upstream to a connected computer. I will say that there is a bit of wobble in the display, due partly to the sheer size of the display panel and also the range of adjustments supported by the stand, which includes height, tilt, swivel, and rotation. It remains stable enough on my desk amid vibrations from typing and other movement, but it can definitely wobble if you bump it or have it on surface that is anything less than rock solid. Alogic tells me the bit of wobble is a tradeoff it elected to make in order to maximize adjustability. It's certainly not a deal-breaker for me, but something to be aware of. This display looks sleek, with thin black bezels around the top and sides and then a thicker silver aluminum chin with some subtle Alogic branding and a power status light (that does unfortunately pulse rather brightly while the display is sleeping, so be aware if you're using it in a bedroom). The panel housing itself has a very thin profile on the upper two-thirds, and then a thicker portion bulging out of the back on the lower third where the stand attachment, ports, and electronics are housed. The upper two thirds is actually glass on the rear, which brings a bit of class if you position your display such that the rear of it is visible. The design also takes advantage of the display backlight to provide a lighted Alogic logo on the rear of the display, which could be a positive or a negative depending on your preference. Alogic tells me it put extra focus on the design of the display's backside, based on feedback from users who like to use these monitors in offices where the rear is frequently visible to others sitting across a desk, for example. I was impressed with the display quality out of the box. I really didn't need to make any adjustments in either macOS or the through on-screen menus of the display, though I did ultimately play around with them to understand the range of adjustments that are available. As a 40-inch 5K2K display, it measures in at 5,120 by 2,160 pixels at 138 pixels per inch. That doesn't match true Retina pixel density of an iMac or a smaller 4K or 5K display, but I was pleasantly surprised at how sharp everything looked, even coming from my usual setup of as pair of high-density LG UltraFine 5K displays. The Edge 5K offers 100% coverage of the sRGB spectrum, 99% of DCI-P3, and 94% of Adobe RGB. It also supports refresh rates up to 100Hz, and while that's not as high as some gaming-specific displays on the market, the bandwidth demands of the display's high resolution limits the ability to push a super-high refresh rate. Still, 100Hz is great for a productivity-focused setup and will even work fine for many games. This is a matte display, so definitely be aware of that if it's a concern for you. I'm doing productivity work near a window and can get a bit of glare at certain times of day, so I prefer matte displays and this one looks great to my eye. It's an IPS panel with up to 400 nits of typical brightness, which is fine for my workspace although there are brighter displays on the market. While you can certainly run the display at full 5,120 × 2,160 resolution, I found that it made on-screen content too small given the viewing distance I am typically at. On the other end, running at 2,560 × 1,080 as a true Retina display made content too large, so I found the 3,840 × 1,620 scaled option to be the perfect resolution for this display in my setup. It provides a large canvas for putting multiple apps and windows side-by-side, with everything appearing at a legible size, and macOS handles scaled resolutions quite well so I had no issues with display quality. Coming from a pair of 27-inch 5K displays, I did have to figure out a new layout for my desktop with the slightly smaller amount of screen real estate, but having it all on one display made it easier to adjust my window sizes and tile them on my desktop. The Edge 5K features a number of handy connectivity options on the rear, with display connectivity options of USB-C (supports both data and power delivery), DisplayPort 1.4, and HDMI 2.0 (refresh rate limited to 30Hz at 5K resolution). When connected over USB-C, the display also acts as a hub with two additional downstream USB-C ports running at USB 2.0 speeds, a Gigabit Ethernet port, and a 3.5mm audio jack for connecting headphones or externally-powered speakers (does not support microphone input). Two 3-watt speakers are built into the display, but as is typical in most displays, they don't sound great. The speakers also don't integrate with Mac keyboard shortcut keys for volume (the same is true for display brightness), but Alogic tells me it's planning a firmware update for around the middle of the year to add this functionality. The rear of the Edge 5K features a joystick button to access and navigate through the on-screen menus. It provides quick access to volume, brightness, display presets, and cycling through connected video sources, and then you can dive deeper into an array of adjustments for the backlight, contrast, blue light shift, Adaptive Sync, sharpness, Picture by Picture and Picture in Picture mode settings, color temperature, HDR, and more. The Alogic Edge 5K is normally priced at $1,699.99, but Alogic is currently offering a 10% discount that brings it down to $1,529.99. Silver and Space Gray color options are available, and it comes with a solid two-year warranty. Comparison to Apple's Studio Display At this price point, it is natural to compare the Edge 5K to Apple's just-upgraded Studio Display, but these displays serve very different purposes. The ‌Studio Display‌ measures just 27 inches with a 16:9 aspect ratio, and for most users it will run best in true Retina mode, yielding a desktop size of 2,560 × 1,440 from the display's 5,120 × 2,880 pixels. While the Edge 5K also offers 5,120 pixels in the horizontal dimension, the 21:9 ultrawide aspect ratio means it offers fewer pixels in the vertical dimension than the ‌Studio Display‌. But the much larger 40-inch size means you can effectively have more screen real estate than on the ‌Studio Display‌ if you run it a scaled resolution in between full and Retina sizes. The ‌Studio Display‌ does of course also offer a true Apple design aesthetic and build quality, and offers tight integration with macOS that the Edge 5K can't currently match. The Edge 5K also lacks a built-in webcam and microphone, and downstream USB-C connectivity options are more limited at just USB 2.0 speeds. On the positive side, the Edge 5K offers more connectivity options, so if you have a PC or other video source, you can use HDMI or DisplayPort to connect it directly to the Edge 5K without the need for adapters, and you can easily switch between inputs or even take advantage of dual sources simultaneously with Picture in Picture or Picture by Picture. Both of these displays are toward the pricier end of things among more mainstream displays, but they're different enough that you should be able weigh your needs (physical display size, connectivity, etc.) to figure out what's most important to you and which display will meet those needs the best.

Apple Celebrates 50th Anniversary in Seven Ways
Apple was founded 50 years ago today, and the company has celebrated the milestone in a variety of ways over the past few weeks, as outlined below. Apple's CEO Tim Cook kicked things off by sharing a letter titled "50 Years of Thinking Different" on Apple's website. The letter touches on the 50th anniversary and says that "the world is moved forward by people who think different." "Think Different" was a famous slogan used by Apple in the late 1990s to early 2000s. "At Apple, we're more focused on building tomorrow than remembering yesterday," a part of Cook's letter reads. "But we couldn't let this milestone pass without thanking the millions of people who make Apple what it is today." Second, Apple celebrated the anniversary by hosting surprise concerts and events around the world in the second half of March. Alicia Keys performed at Apple's store inside New York's Grand Central Terminal, Mumford & Sons took the stage outside of Apple's UK headquarters at the former Battersea Power Station in London, models walked around a catwalk set up in front of Apple's Jing'an store as part of Shanghai Fashion Week, Apple illuminated iPad artwork on the Sydney Opera House's sails, and much more. Third, much of Apple's senior leadership gathered at Apple Park to ring the Nasdaq stock market index's opening bell on Tuesday morning. Apple executives in attendance included Cook, operations chief Sabih Khan, services chief Eddy Cue, retail chief Deirdre O'Brien, marketing chief Greg Joswiak, financial chief Kevan Parekh, hardware engineering chief John Ternus, hardware design chief Molly Anderson, and others. REPLAY from yesterday's celebration: Welcoming Apple [AAPL] to the @NasdaqExchange Opening Bell in celebration of their 50th anniversary. #Apple50 pic.twitter.com/DUeKDfPo0P— Nasdaq Exchange (@NasdaqExchange) April 1, 2026 Fourth, Apple set up various installations inside Apple Park, including a showcase of various iMac designs released between 1998 and 2021. Apple 50th anniversary installation at the office featuring classic Mac lineup pic.twitter.com/bxX1y9yGdr— Sam Haveson (@samhaves) March 31, 2026 Fifth, Apple's employees received 50th-anniversary merchandise, including a commemorative t-shirt, a limited-edition poster, and a "50" pin. Sixth, Apple's employees were invited to watch legendary musician Paul McCartney perform under the rainbow arches at Apple Park on Tuesday evening. And finally, Apple marked its 50th anniversary today by updating the homepage of its website with an animation and sharing a rewind video. 50 years of Apple, 50 years of innovation.Thank you to our teams, our users, and everyone who’s been part of the journey. #Apple50 pic.twitter.com/YYkMN24Vzc— Tim Cook (@tim_cook) April 1, 2026 Apple may have a few other things in store for us, but with it now being April 1, the anniversary celebrations are likely wrapping up. So far, the company has not publicly released any special products or merchandise to mark the occasion.
