Save a massive $300 on this loaded M5 Pro MacBook Pro
Macworld Apple MacBook Pro M5 Pro View Deal (function () { document.querySelector("#sticky-promo-block a").addEventListener("click", function(e) { const debug = document.location.host.search(/lndo.site|go-vip.net/) !== -1; const text = this.closest("#sticky-promo-block").querySelector("p.promo-title").textContent; const data = { event: "stickyConversionUnitClick", eventCategory: "Sticky Conversion", eventAction: "Click", eventLabel: text }; if(debug)console.log("Sticky Conversion CLick - pushing to dataLayer: ", data); dataLayer.push(data); return true; }); })(); Apple’s 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M5 Pro chip is down to $2,299 from its $2,599 MSRP at B&H, a $300 cut on a high-end configuration that’s genuinely built for demanding work. The real value here lies in the memory and storage. This model comes with 48GB of unified memory and a sizable 1TB SSD, which is enough to ensure your machine will perform at a high level for years to come. There’s not much you can’t do with this laptop, from editing video, juggling large photo libraries, compiling code, or running several heavy apps at once, that much memory keeps everything moving smoothly. The 1TB drive gives plenty of room for big project files without leaning on external storage right away. The M5 Pro is a chip that’s powerful enough to handle all types of work without breaking a sweat. This is a chip meant for people who actually do more than open a browser on their laptop. The 14-inch Liquid Retina XDR display is gorgeous, as well, bringing bright, sharp, and color-accurate images to the mix, which is something that matters when you’re editing videos or pics, for instance. Just keep in mind that this is still a very powerful and expensive laptop, even at $300 off. If your days are mostly web work, office tasks, or light editing, you’ll never come close to needing 48GB of memory, so you could step down the lineup or downgrade to a MacBook Air and pay a lot less. But if you want tons of power at a great price, at $2,299, this M5 Pro MacBook Pro is a fantastic deal, so don’t miss out.

Under the new settings, alarms, timers, notifications, and other sounds no longer have to follow the same volume slider.People who lowered notification volume could also lower alarm volume without realizing it. An alarm, a timer, and a text message don't serve the same purpose, yet iPhone users have adjusted them through the same controls for years. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums

The European Union stood firm and insisted keeping other vendors out of the new feature was illegal under the DMA.EU users will not get the new Siri AI features in iOS 27 - image credit: AppleApple made the unusual step of taking time in the WWDC keynote to say that Siri AI would not be coming to the European Union. It was a public announcement aimed at blaming the EU for preventing users from getting the new iOS features.Now Apple has stepped up its PR fight by detailing how it says the EU is intractable over its demand that would see privacy controls stripped away. Briefing journalists after the WWDC keynote, Greg Joswiak has revealed that Apple went further than ever before in attempting to negotiate with the European Commission.

Marvel at over 250 fixes and improvements coming to your Apple devices this fall | Macworld
Marvel at over 250 fixes and improvements coming to your Apple devices this fall
Macworld Apple spent an unusually long time during its WWDC Keynote this year talking about how it was going to fix all the busted crap in its operating systems. I’m paraphrasing, of course. What Apple actually said was, “Our teams doubled down on our relentless dedication to make the experience feel more polished and intuitive.” Then, Apple presented the most obnoxious eye-chart slide I’ve ever seen in over 25 years of tech journalism, while saying, “We scoured every part of the OS for opportunities to refine our systems, from the UI to the foundations. Nothing was off limits, no enhancement too small.” The impossible-to-read slide had over 40 lines of tiny text and was gone in a flash. Of course, that’s the point. It’s just there to make you say, “Look at all that stuff!” Well, that’s not good enough for us here at Macworld—we want to know what it says. Now we do, and so will you. All these fixes are all separate from the big Apple Intelligence, Siri, and Parental Controls improvements coming to our devices this fall. 10 key improvements Much of what is listed here is repetitive. There are no exact duplicates, but there are quite a few items that could very well be combined into one. There are four small items related to perimenopause and menopause tracking, for example, and multiple entries about smoother scrolling in this app or that menu. Still, there’s a lot of good stuff in there. Here are some of the improvements that stand out, in no particular order.

Here Are the Macs Compatible With macOS Golden Gate
Apple today unveiled macOS Golden Gate, the next major version of its Mac operating system, during its WWDC 2026 keynote. As expected, the update confirms the end of Intel Mac support. Apple said last year that macOS Tahoe would be the final release to run on pre-Apple silicon machines, and macOS 27 makes that official – you'll need an Apple silicon Mac to install it. Here are the Macs compatible with macOS Golden Gate: MacBook Neo (2026) MacBook Air with Apple silicon (2020 and later) MacBook Pro with Apple silicon (2020 and later) iMac with Apple silicon (2021 and later) Mac mini with Apple silicon (2020 and later) Mac Studio with Apple silicon (2022 and later) Mac Pro with Apple silicon (2023 and later) Four models that ran macOS Tahoe didn't make the cut this year. They include the MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019), the MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports), the iMac (2020), and the Mac Pro (2019). Owners of those machines aren't entirely out of luck, however. Apple usually keeps issuing security fixes for the previous macOS version well after it's superseded, so anyone sticking with Tahoe will continue to get the necessary patches. But for the latest features, though, the only path forward is a newer Mac.Tag: WWDC 2026This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

New Siri AI Features Won't Be Available in EU Later This Year | MacRumors
New Siri AI Features Won't Be Available in EU Later This Year
The new enhanced Siri AI features that Apple announced today at WWDC 2026 will not be available in the European Union or in China when they are released in beta later this year. Apple said that while Siri AI will be available for free with the new upcoming OS releases, it will not be available in the EU on iOS and iPadOS until it can find a path forward for regulatory approval. Apple said EU regulators did not accept any of the company's proposed solutions to bring Siri AI to the EU while safely supporting other virtual assistants. "We're deeply disappointed that our EU users won't have Siri AI on iPhone or iPad when we share our new software releases later this year," said Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of Software Engineering. "Our hope is to eventually bring Siri AI to the EU, and we will continue to engage with EU regulators on a path forward. However, their refusal to engage constructively on solutions that preserve privacy and security means we do not currently have a timeline for Siri AI's availability on iOS and iPadOS in the EU."When iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 launch later this year, Apple will not offer Siri AI or its new features on those platforms in the EU. That includes the new app for revisiting conversations, expanded Visual Intelligence capabilities, integrated writing tools, Siri mode in the Camera app on iPhone, and other Siri AI features introduced at WWDC26. Apple explained further in a newsroom announcement: According to EU regulators, the DMA requires Apple to give any AI system nearly unlimited access to a user's device, as well as the ability to act on that access autonomously without a user's ongoing visibility and control. That includes the ability to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and execute actions across any app. Security researchers have already shown that AI systems can be hijacked to steal personal data — like passwords and photos — and to permanently alter files and account settings without a user's consent. As AI systems gain more capabilities, these risks are quickly increasing in frequency and scope. Given the serious risks to users, Apple designed a solution called Trusted System Agent — an intermediary that would allow virtual assistants to safely access the same features and capabilities as Siri AI for devices in the EU. Apple also shared a plan to launch Siri AI in the EU while gradually rolling out this new solution over an 18-month period. The European Commission said no. In fact, the European Commission did not agree to any of Apple's proposals.The restrictions will apply to both consumers and developers. EU-based developers will be unable to test or integrate the new Siri AI features into their iPhone and iPad apps.

New Siri AI Features Won't Be Available in EU Later This Year | MacRumors
New Siri AI Features Won't Be Available in EU Later This Year
The new enhanced Siri AI features that Apple announced today at WWDC 2026 will not be available in the European Union or in China when they are released in beta later this year. Apple said that while Siri AI will be available for free with the new upcoming OS releases, it will not be available in the EU on iOS and iPadOS until it can find a path forward for regulatory approval. Apple said EU regulators did not accept any of the company's proposed solutions to bring Siri AI to the EU while safely supporting other virtual assistants. "We're deeply disappointed that our EU users won't have Siri AI on iPhone or iPad when we share our new software releases later this year," said Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of Software Engineering. "Our hope is to eventually bring Siri AI to the EU, and we will continue to engage with EU regulators on a path forward. However, their refusal to engage constructively on solutions that preserve privacy and security means we do not currently have a timeline for Siri AI's availability on iOS and iPadOS in the EU."When iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 launch later this year, Apple will not offer Siri AI or its new features on those platforms in the EU. That includes the new app for revisiting conversations, expanded Visual Intelligence capabilities, integrated writing tools, Siri mode in the Camera app on iPhone, and other Siri AI features introduced at WWDC26. Apple explained further in a newsroom announcement: According to EU regulators, the DMA requires Apple to give any AI system nearly unlimited access to a user's device, as well as the ability to act on that access autonomously without a user's ongoing visibility and control. That includes the ability to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and execute actions across any app. Security researchers have already shown that AI systems can be hijacked to steal personal data — like passwords and photos — and to permanently alter files and account settings without a user's consent. As AI systems gain more capabilities, these risks are quickly increasing in frequency and scope. Given the serious risks to users, Apple designed a solution called Trusted System Agent — an intermediary that would allow virtual assistants to safely access the same features and capabilities as Siri AI for devices in the EU. Apple also shared a plan to launch Siri AI in the EU while gradually rolling out this new solution over an 18-month period. The European Commission said no. In fact, the European Commission did not agree to any of Apple's proposals.The restrictions will apply to both consumers and developers. EU-based developers will be unable to test or integrate the new Siri AI features into their iPhone and iPad apps. Apple will, however, make Siri AI available in the EU on macOS 27, visionOS 27, and watchOS 27. Apple also said that Siri AI will not be available in China while the company works through regulatory requirements.

Apple to Bring AI Reframing and Editing Tools to Photos App | MacRumors
Apple to Bring AI Reframing and Editing Tools to Photos App
Apple today announced new AI-powered photo editing tools coming to the Photos app as part of Apple Intelligence, including an upgraded Cleanup tool, a new Extend tool, and a new Spatial Reframing feature. Spatial Reframing allows users to reposition the virtual camera angle of a photo after it has already been taken. By touching and dragging, users can adjust the framing and perspective of a shot, with ‌Apple Intelligence‌ generating new content only to fill in the gaps created by the shift in angle. It only generates new content to fill in the gaps where the perspective has shifted, ensuring the reframed photo stays consistent with the original scene. The Cleanup tool is also receiving what Apple calls a "big upgrade," with improved ability to remove distractions from images and more realistic infill "even when the scene is complex." A new Extend tool rounds out the trio, letting users add more background space to a photo or adjust its aspect ratio. Apple said the new tools help photographers "enhance their images in ways that respect the original moment." All three features are processed using Apple's Private Cloud Compute infrastructure, meaning the edits are handled in the cloud while Apple says user data remains protected. The new tools will work on older photos as well as images taken with non-Apple cameras.Tags: Apple Intelligence, PhotosThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Brings Natural Language Creation to Shortcuts App
Apple today announced that users can now describe a shortcut in natural language, with Apple Intelligence automatically building the automation in the background. Previously, creating a Shortcuts automation required users to manually build workflows step by step, making the feature largely the preserve of more technically minded users. With the upcoming update, users can simply describe what they want a shortcut to do in plain English text, and ‌Apple Intelligence‌ then handles the construction. Apple demonstrated the feature with a practical example: A user asking the Shortcuts app to automatically send their estimated time of arrival to a designated recipient whenever they leave home. ‌Apple Intelligence‌ calculates the ETA based on the user's location and sends the correct time without any manual configuration.Tags: Apple Intelligence, ShortcutsThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
