Prominent leaker may see default ruling reversed in Apple lawsuit
Jon Prosser's failure to respond to Apple's initial lawsuit led to a default ruling against him, but Apple lawyers are willing to give him another shot if the judge approves.Jon Prosser continues to make videos about Apple leaks amid a lawsuitApple filed a lawsuit against Jon Prosser and Michael Ramacciotti alleging that they conspired to steal information about a pre-release version of iOS. An Apple employee, Ethan Lipnik, was fired after the event where the alleged conspirators accessed his test device.For whatever reason, Prosser didn't respond to Apple's July 2025 lawsuit, leading to a default judgment being placed against him in October 2025. In the time since, Prosser has slowly begun to respond to court orders and has agreed to participate in discovery and deposition. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums

Fewer iPhone users are updating to iOS 26 than they did with iOS 18
The iOS 26 update has the second-worst adoption rate of all iOS releases since 2015, falling behind both iOS 18 and iOS 8.iOS 18 (left) adoption rates were better than those of iOS 26 (right).Though all eyes might be on iOS 27 and its AI-infused Siri, which debuted at WWDC, the software has only entered beta testing.Most iPhones, or 79% of all devices to be more precise, are currently running iOS 26. This is according to Apple's App Store data for June 2026, which also revealed that 86% of all devices introduced in the last four years have iOS 26 installed.

The perfect 27-in Mac-focused monitor for work and more [Video] | 9 to 5 Mac
The perfect 27-in Mac-focused monitor for work and more [Video]
When you’re using Apple hardware, you just want things to work – to feel native and seamless – and that’s exactly what MSI had in mind with the PRO MAX 271UPXW12G monitor. Boasting a pixel-dense 4K resolution on a 27-in screen with a QD-OLED display, this MSI monitor is designed for easy macOS integration and offers a wide variety of thoughtful features. It’s a productivity-focused monitor that might actually be good for gaming as well. Be sure to check out the video below for more details. MSI PRO MAX: Design If you’re going to create a display designed to be used with MacBooks, it’s going to need to be stylish, and the MSI PRO MAX delivers. The back of the panel may be larger than other modern monitors, but that also houses the power brick, meaning there is only a simple IEC cable to plug in. It has a thin bezel, and the light colorway has an air of modern elegance. There’s nothing extravagant or gaudy; everything on the PRO MAX fits right in with Apple aesthetics. On the back, there is a host of connection ports, including dual HDMI, dual USB Type-C, and DisplayPort. The USB-C connection can provide up to 98W of power for a MacBook Pro, while a 2nd USB-C connection allows for 15W to charge an iPhone or iPad. MSI PRO MAX: Video A simple stand makes the monitor sleek but also allows for plenty of adjustability. It can easily tilt, turn, twist, and raise to get in the right position. It will raise just enough to fit a 14-in MacBook Pro in front and under the display. Adjusting the monitor can be accomplished with a single hand. Everything is well balanced – even moving the screen up or down. Whether it’s a main display or a vertical-oriented monitor on the side, the MSI PRO MAX has plenty of adjustability. MSI PRO MAX: Mac-friendly modes Of course, there is a standard menu control, but MSI also has an app for macOS that allows for easy customization of the monitor without fumbling with OSD buttons. If you’ve ever navigated a monitor menu without really knowing which button goes where, you’ll appreciate the ability to tweak settings with your mouse from an app, rather than maneuvering through an on-screen menu. Two notable options in the MSI app (or OSD) are M-Color and M-Sync. M-Color will sync the monitor’s color profile to match a connected MacBook’s display for consistent color. Creatives who are concerned about color accuracy will find this a great benefit to their workflow. Additionally, M-Sync enables easy control of brightness and volume from your MacBook’s controls – another way the MSI PRO MAX makes Mac workflow feel seamless. Another way MSI had creatives in mind with the PRO MAX by including composition guides built into the monitor’s OSD with options for the rule of thirds, golden ratio, diagonal lines, and more. Despite being built specifically for Mac workflows, the variety of inputs is a perfect match for the 3-way KVM, which enables the use of the same keyboard and mouse across a Mac, iPad, and PC – great for multiplatform setups. MSI PRO MAX: The Panel Besides easy-to-use controls and a clean design, the panel of the PRO MAX is also feature-packed for creatives. A 4th Gen QD-OLED panel is more efficient than previous generations and delivers crisp 4K resolution in a 27-in package. That gives it a pixel density of 166 ppi – great for Mac-style text rendering. It’s also treated with protective and anti-glare coatings that make it a perfect fit for bright working conditions. Even when I had my video lighting aimed at the PRO MAX, the monitor was usable – something that is nearly impossible on glossy screens in bright environments. I was impressed with the viewing angles of this panel, as well. While moving around to take pictures and video of the monitor, the monitor looked great from every angle. Work is great, but is it good for gaming? One of my complaints with productivity-focused monitors is that they often don’t have good high enough refresh rates for doubling as a suitable gaming monitor – that’s not the case with the MSI PRO MAX. With 4K resolution and up to 120Hz, it’s a great option for getting work done, but it will also make your games smooth. So if you’re looking for a do-it-all monitor with the design and Mac-focused features that will enhance your Mac workstation, check out the MSI PRO MAX 271UPXW12G. Check it out here

Now, Time Capsule isn't supported in macOS 27. A long-discontinued network storage device, Time Capsules gave Mac users a way to back up over a home network using Time Machine. While the hardware hasn't been available for quite a few years, support continued up to macOS 26.However, as warned in macOS Sequoia 15, support for the Apple Filing Protocol, AFP, was being deprecated and removed in a future macOS release. That turned out to be macOS 27, thanks to a notice in macOS 26 warning about the end of support for AirPort Disk and other Time Capsule disks. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums

macOS 27 warning: Your Intel apps are nearly dead | Macworld
macOS 27 warning: Your Intel apps are nearly dead
Macworld As each day goes by, we come closer and closer to the absolute end of Intel-based tech on the Mac. macOS Tahoe is the last version to have any support for Intel-based Macs (it’s only a few models, at that). Not only does macOS Golden Gate not support Intel-based Macs at all, but it also has a feature that warns that the clock is ticking for apps built specifically for Intel processors. In Golden Gate’s System Settings > About, the macOS section has a new Intel-based Apps tab. Click on the associated Details button, and you’ll find a list of any Intel apps on your Mac that have been opened in the past year. As the heading for the list states, “Intel-based apps running on Rosetta will not open in macOS 28. The following apps need to be updated for Apple silicon. An update may be available on the developer’s website.” When you move the cursor over an app in the list, a button appears, giving you the option to show the app in the Finder, or to move it to the Trash. A Learn more link take you to a support document explaining the end of Rosetta, Apple tech for running Intel apps on Apple silicon. If you’re using such an app, the clock is ticking. You can use it for now, but if you decide to update to macOS 28 next year, it won’t work anymore without an update. At least you have a good amount of time to find one.

macOS 27 Beta Boots Asahi Linux Off Apple Silicon | Slashdot
macOS 27 Beta Boots Asahi Linux Off Apple Silicon
The Asahi Linux team is warning Apple Silicon users not to upgrade to the macOS 27 beta because Apple's changes to the boot picker and Startup Disk app make Asahi partitions invisible, preventing Linux from booting. The Register reports: The team added: "If you insist on trying out macOS 27 as soon as possible, please ensure you install a secondary copy of macOS 26 first, or install macOS 27 itself on a secondary volume." They've also updated the installer to prevent installs from running on macOS 27 for now. For anyone who ignored all of the above, "we will not support users who have installed the macOS 27 beta without ensuring at least one stable version of macOS is installed." Considering macOS 27 is in beta, the issue may be accidental rather than an attempt by Apple to block Linux on its hardware. The Asahi team said it has filed bug report. The good news for anyone who pulled the trigger on installing the macOS 27 beta is that although the partition might not be visible, it hasn't gone anywhere. The Asahi team wrote: "If you have already upgraded to the beta and noticed that your Asahi partition has disappeared, do not stress. Your Asahi partition is still there, and you have not lost any data." Read more of this story at Slashdot.

Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 crash to an all-time low price of $179
Macworld Apple AirPods Pro 3 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; }); })(); Usually on sale for $199, Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 have dropped all the way down to $179 at Walmart, a whopping $70 cut on an absolutely amazing pair of earbuds. This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen on these buds, which makes the Pro 3 even easier to recommend. The noise cancellation feature is what you’ll love most about these earbuds. These earbuds block out far more than earlier models, and that difference shows up exactly where you want it, such as on noisy commutes, crowded flights, or an open office where you’re trying to focus. It’s not just the noise-cancelling part that shines with this new model, but also the transparency mode, which is also something we note in our 4.5-star review. We gave the AirPods Pro 3 our Editors’ Choice award for good reason, praising the sound, the silence, and the improved battery life. Battery life holds its own, with up to 8 hours on noise cancellation or 10 in Transparency mode, which is more than enough for long days and travel. One of the coolest features about these earbuds is the new sensors that help with health metrics. Built-in heart rate tracking across 50 workout types is definitely a nice bonus, especially if you don’t love wearing a smartwatch while exercising. If you’re not that fond of the way silicone-tipped earbuds feel in your ear, then the AirPods Pro will not be for you. The regular AirPods 4 with ANC (on sale for $149) will do just fine. And while the noise-cancelling won’t be as good and you won’t get as many features, the comfort might be worth it. At $179, however, these AirPods Pro are an easy pick for iPhone owners who want top-tier noise cancellation and hearing health features in one set.

LG's 39-Inch Ultrawide 5K2K OLED Display Officially Begins Shipping Next Week | MacRumors
LG's 39-Inch Ultrawide 5K2K OLED Display Officially Begins Shipping Next Week
Back at CES in January, LG unveiled its UltraGear evo GX9 (39GX950B) display, which it claims is the world's first 39-inch ultrawide 5K2K OLED gaming monitor, offering a large curved canvas in the increasingly popular 21:9 aspect ratio with the added benefit of OLED technology for enhanced contrast with true blacks, standard refresh rates of up to 165Hz, and more. While LG began taking pre-orders for the UltraGear evo GX9 last month and a few early orders have already trickled out through various channels, LG says that the official kickoff of order shipments starts next week. LG touts the gaming prowess of the UltraGear evo GX9, but its specs mean it can deliver a premium experience across a variety of use cases, from productivity to media consumption and more. OLED technology delivers a contrast ratio of 1,850,000:1 across the ultrawide display's 5,120 x 2,160 resolution. At a large 39-inch display size with a 1500R curve, this translates to a density of 143 pixels per inch, which is solid but not enough for true retina-level quality. Still, the large, curved display means many users will often be sitting further from the display than usual to be able to take in the full scope of content on the display, and that should prove plenty sharp in most situations. The Tandem OLED panel in the UltraGear evo GX9 supports up to 335 nits of typical brightness, which is likely sufficient for most uses but does lag behind some other displays including ones in Apple products. The OLED contrast, color fidelity at up to 98.5% of the DCI-P3 spectrum, and HDR support that can push brightness to 1,500 nits at 1.5% APL and 600 nits at 10% APL should, however, all help to offer a quality viewing experience. For those who do want to game on this display, the UltraGear evo GX9 features AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-SYNC support, as well as 0.03ms response times to keep up with fast-moving content. On the connectivity side, the UltraGear evo GX9 offers a USB-C port with 90-watt power delivery to a connected computer, as well as DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1. We'll be looking to go hands-on with the LG UltraGear evo GX9 as soon as we can, and we'll report back on how well it works for Mac users, but for now LG is taking orders on its own site priced at $1,799.99, and it's also available at Amazon for the same price with delivery quotes starting around June 8.

For those who do want to game on this display, the UltraGear evo GX9 features AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-SYNC support, as well as 0.03ms response times to keep up with fast-moving content. On the connectivity side, the UltraGear evo GX9 offers a USB-C port with 90-watt power delivery to a connected computer, as well as DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1. We'll be looking to go hands-on with the LG UltraGear evo GX9 as soon as we can, and we'll report back on how well it works for Mac users, but for now LG is taking orders on its own site priced at $1,799.99, and it's also available at Amazon for the same price with delivery quotes starting around June 8.

LG's 39-Inch Ultrawide 5K2K OLED Display Officially Begins Shipping Next Week | MacRumors
LG's 39-Inch Ultrawide 5K2K OLED Display Officially Begins Shipping Next Week
Back at CES in January, LG unveiled its UltraGear evo GX9 (39GX950B) display, which it claims is the world's first 39-inch ultrawide 5K2K OLED gaming monitor, offering a large curved canvas in the increasingly popular 21:9 aspect ratio with the added benefit of OLED technology for enhanced contrast with true blacks, standard refresh rates of up to 165Hz, and more. While LG began taking pre-orders for the UltraGear evo GX9 last month and a few early orders have already trickled out through various channels, LG says that the official kickoff of order shipments starts next week. LG touts the gaming prowess of the UltraGear evo GX9, but its specs mean it can deliver a premium experience across a variety of use cases, from productivity to media consumption and more. OLED technology delivers a contrast ratio of 1,850,000:1 across the ultrawide display's 5,120 x 2,160 resolution. At a large 39-inch display size with a 1500R curve, this translates to a density of 143 pixels per inch, which is solid but not enough for true retina-level quality. Still, the large, curved display means many users will often be sitting further from the display than usual to be able to take in the full scope of content on the display, and that should prove plenty sharp in most situations. The Tandem OLED panel in the UltraGear evo GX9 supports up to 335 nits of typical brightness, which is likely sufficient for most uses but does lag behind some other displays including ones in Apple products. The OLED contrast, color fidelity at up to 98.5% of the DCI-P3 spectrum, and HDR support that can push brightness to 1,500 nits at 1.5% APL and 600 nits at 10% APL should, however, all help to offer a quality viewing experience. For those who do want to game on this display, the UltraGear evo GX9 features AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-SYNC support, as well as 0.03ms response times to keep up with fast-moving content. On the connectivity side, the UltraGear evo GX9 offers a USB-C port with 90-watt power delivery to a connected computer, as well as DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1.

iPhone Driver's License Feature Set to Expand to a 15th U.S. State | MacRumors
iPhone Driver's License Feature Set to Expand to a 15th U.S. State
Apple's digital driver's license feature in the Wallet app is set to expand to Virginia, according to a person familiar with the matter. In select U.S. states, residents can add their driver's license or state ID to the Wallet app on the iPhone and Apple Watch, and then use it to display proof of identity or age at select airports and businesses, and in select apps. The feature has rolled out to 14 states so far, including Arkansas earlier this week, and it is also available in Puerto Rico. The other states are Arizona, Maryland, Colorado, Georgia, Ohio, Hawaii, California, Iowa, New Mexico, Montana, North Dakota, West Virginia, and Illinois. Now, Apple is preparing for the feature to go live in Virginia, the person said. However, we do not have an exact timeframe for availability. Towards the end of 2025, Virginia's Department of Motor Vehicles said it planned to support the Apple Wallet's digital ID feature in the coming months, so hopefully it goes live soon by this point. When the feature goes live, Virginia residents will be able to set it up by opening the Wallet app on the iPhone and tapping on the plus sign in the top-right corner. Next, they will tap on Driver's License and ID Cards, select Virginia from the list once it is added, and follow the on-screen steps to complete the process. Apple Wallet IDs are accepted at TSA checkpoints at hundreds of U.S. airports for domestic travel. Given that Apple Wallet IDs are not accepted by law enforcement, and lack many other use cases, carrying a physical ID is still necessary. If you live in a state that does not yet offer Apple Wallet IDs, you can create a Digital ID based on your U.S. passport, and present it at the same participating TSA checkpoints, for age and identity verification purposes during domestic travel. It is not a replacement for a physical passport, and it cannot be used for international travel. The passport feature requires iOS 26.1 or watchOS 26.1 and later.Tag: Apple WalletThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Everything We Know About OpenAI's Planned iPhone Rival | MacRumors
Everything We Know About OpenAI's Planned iPhone Rival
OpenAI is developing a smartphone intended to compete directly with the iPhone, in what appears to be a significant departure from the company's previously stated hardware strategy. Here's everything we know so far. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo published his findings in late April following supply chain checks, describing the device as an "AI agent phone" built around a continuous, context-aware interface rather than individual apps. Kuo argued that the smartphone is the only device that captures a user's full real-time state, including location, activity, communication, and context, making it uniquely suited to AI agent inference. He said fully controlling both the operating system and the hardware is the only way for OpenAI to deliver a comprehensive AI agent service, and that AI agents will fundamentally shift how people interact with a phone, moving the focus from launching individual apps to completing tasks through a seamless interface. Specifications OpenAI's phone is said to use a customized version of MediaTek's Dimensity 9600 processor, built on TSMC's N2P node in the second half of 2026. Kuo initially named both MediaTek and Qualcomm as chip partners but has since said MediaTek appears "better positioned to become the sole processor supplier." Luxshare Precision Industry is believed to be the exclusive manufacturing partner. Separately, Kuo reported that Sunny Optical has secured component orders for two OpenAI devices, including the smartphone. This is likely for the camera module. The device's headline known hardware specification today is its image signal processor, which includes an enhanced HDR pipeline intended to improve real-world sensing through the camera. It is also said to use two AI processors for handling different tasks simultaneously, such as vision and language processing, along with fast memory and storage and security features to isolate processes. What About Jony Ive's Devices? The phone represents a notable reversal in OpenAI's publicly stated strategy. The company's hardware ambitions had previously been described as centered on non-phone form factors developed with former Apple design chief Jony Ive, whose startup io Products OpenAI acquired for $6.5 billion in May 2025. Ive and CEO Sam Altman had specifically said they did not want to build a device with a screen, with Altman describing a prototype to employees as "the coolest piece of technology that the world will have ever seen." The first product from that collaboration was delayed out of 2026 and has since been identified as a smart speaker with an integrated camera, priced between $200 and $300 and expected to launch in early 2027. Other devices reportedly in development include smart glasses, a smart lamp, and potentially earbuds, though those products are further out on the roadmap and some could be cancelled. OpenAI has also been aggressively recruiting from Apple's hardware ranks, hiring over 40 former Apple employees. The hires include former Apple designers Evans Hankey, Tang Tan, and Scott Cannon, prompting Apple to offer its iPhone Product Design team retention bonuses of up to $400,000 in restricted stock units to counter the poaching. Timeline Mass production of OpenAI's smartphone was originally believed to be targeted for 2028, but Kuo has since revised that expectation to the first half of 2027. The accelerated timeline is said to reflect OpenAI's planned IPO, where a compelling hardware product could strengthen the company's investor narrative, as well as intensifying competition in the AI agent phone category. Kuo projects combined 2027 and 2028 shipments could reach around 30 million units if development stays on track. What Does It Mean for Apple? If the broader hardware lineup ships, OpenAI will be a direct competitor to Apple across several product categories. Apple is rumored to be developing smart glasses, AirPods with cameras, an AI pendant, and a smart home hub with enhanced Siri capabilities. On the day Kuo published his initial report, Altman posted on X that it "feels like a good time to seriously rethink how operating systems and user interfaces are designed."Tag: OpenAIThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Windows PC Industry Reacts to Apple's Most Affordable MacBook Ever | MacRumors
Windows PC Industry Reacts to Apple's Most Affordable MacBook Ever
A few months ago, Apple released the MacBook Neo, its most affordable MacBook ever. At the time, an ASUS executive admitted that the laptop came as a "shock" to the Windows PC industry, which is now in the process of responding. Acer today introduced a Swift Air 14 laptop, with U.S. pricing starting at $699. By comparison, the MacBook Neo starts at $599 with a 256GB SSD and 8GB of RAM, or at $499 for college students and educational staff. However, the MacBook Neo costs an equal $699 when configured with a doubled 512GB of storage and a Touch ID button. Powered by a new Intel Core Series 3 processor, the Swift Air 14 features a 14-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a resolution of 1,920 × 1,200 pixels, up to a 512GB SSD, up to 16GB of RAM, an all-aluminum enclosure, and quad speakers with DTS:X Ultra audio. Like the MacBook Neo, the laptop supports Wi-Fi 6E. Acer's Swift Air 14 The laptop is equipped with two Thunderbolt 4 ports, a USB-A port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack, and Acer says a 70 Wh battery provides up to 19 hours of battery life for video playback and up to 16 hours of battery life for web browsing. Like the MacBook Neo, the Swift Air 14 is available in colorful finishes, including sage green, frost blue, blossom pink, and lilac purple. Acer said the Swift Air 14 will be available in North America starting in August. Meanwhile, Qualcomm this week announced the Snapdragon C, a new processor designed for "entry-tier laptops" priced at "$300 and up." Qualcomm said the processor delivers "responsive everyday performance" with "breakthrough power efficiency." The first laptops powered by the Snapdragon C are expected to launch later this year, with committed brands including Acer, HP, and Lenovo, according to Qualcomm. Qualcomm's Snapdragon C processor Indeed, Acer has previewed the Aspire Go 15, the first laptop powered by the Snapdragon C processor. The laptop will have an "affordable" price point, but Acer did not provide specific pricing or a release date. Key specs include a 15.6-inch display with a resolution of 1,920 × 1,080 pixels, up to a 512GB SSD, up to 8GB of RAM, a 1080p webcam, two speakers, two USB-C ports, one USB-A port, one HDMI port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Acer said the Aspire Go 15 is made from 100% recyclable materials and has some components made from recycled plastic, so it sounds like the laptop will not have an all-aluminum enclosure like the MacBook Neo and the Swift Air 14. Finally, ASUS commented on the MacBook Neo again during its annual shareholders meeting today. According to Taiwan's Economic Daily News, ASUS's chairman Jonney Shih said that the company can learn from Apple's cost-efficient strategy with the MacBook Neo and views it as an opportunity. Stay tuned, he said. On an earnings call last month, Apple's CEO Tim Cook said that customer response to the MacBook Neo had been "off the charts" since its launch. Apple was very optimistic about the MacBook Neo before announcing it, but the company still "undercalled" the level of enthusiasm that the laptop would generate, according to Cook. He said that MacBook Neo demand exceeded Apple's expectations and helped to drive a record number of first-time Mac buyers last quarter. "We could not be happier with how things are going at the moment," said Cook. As for the Windows PC industry, perhaps not so much.Related Roundup: MacBook NeoTags: Acer, Asus, Intel, Qualcomm, WindowsBuyer's Guide: MacBook Neo (Buy Now)Related Forum: MacBook NeoThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

First Look at iPhone 18 Pro Color Options Revealed by Dummy Models | MacRumors
First Look at iPhone 18 Pro Color Options Revealed by Dummy Models
Leaker Sonny Dickson today shared images of iPhone 18 Pro dummy models in the device's four rumored colors, offering the first real-world look at what to expect from the lineup visually. Corroborating previous rumors, the dummies show the ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max in Light Blue, Black, Silver, and Dark Cherry. Dickson said "Cherry will probably be the next hit, orange did very well." Cosmic Orange was the signature color of the iPhone 17 Pro and proved popular with customers. Dark Cherry is expected to serve as the headline new color for the ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ models this year. The color has been in the rumor mill since at least February 2026, when Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported that Apple was testing a deep red finish for the ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ and ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max. At the time, Gurman described the shade as a deep red, and separate reporting from a Chinese leaker later suggested the color was very likely to make the cut, partly because Android rivals were already prototyping the same shade. First look at iPhone 18 dummies in the new colors: Black, Silver, Dark Cherry and Light Blue. Cherry will probably be the next hit, orange did very well. pic.twitter.com/2qpZDA7oEK— Sonny Dickson (@SonnyDickson) May 29, 2026 The picture sharpened in April, when Macworld reported that the color would be called Dark Cherry and would be closer to wine than a brighter red, and considerably more muted than Cosmic Orange. The leaker known as "Instant Digital" subsequently corroborated that name, characterizing the shade as a combination of burgundy, coffee, and deep purple. "Instant Digital" has a good track record on Apple color leaks, having accurately predicted the yellow finish for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus. Macworld's reporting also identified the full four-color lineup, with internal Pantone codes said to be in use at Apple: Light Blue (Pantone 2121), described as resembling the current iPhone 17's Mist Blue; Dark Cherry (Pantone 6076); Dark Gray (Pantone 426C); and Silver (Pantone 427C), said to be similar to the current generation. The latest images are significant because they mark the first time the rumored colors have been depicted in physical, real-world form rather than renders or supply chain descriptions. That said, dummy models are typically made from plastic or low-quality metals and are not finished to the same standard as production units, meaning the tone and saturation of each color could vary from what Apple ultimately ships. With that caveat, the dummies are consistent with the earlier rumors, suggesting that this will indeed likely be the final color palette of the device. The ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ and ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max are expected to be announced in the fall alongside the first foldable iPhone.Related Roundup: iPhone 18 ProTag: Sonny DicksonThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

iPhone 18 Pro's Camera Upgrade Will Cost Apple 50% More | MacRumors
iPhone 18 Pro's Camera Upgrade Will Cost Apple 50% More
The iPhone 18 Pro and ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max's all-new variable aperture lens will cost Apple 50% more than the camera unit used in current models, according to supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Variable aperture has been one of the most persistent iPhone camera rumors of the past few years. Kuo first flagged the feature in late 2024, and it has since been corroborated by multiple reports and apparently entered production earlier this year. Unlike the fixed f/1.78 aperture found on every iPhone Pro from the 14 Pro through to the 17 Pro, a variable aperture will physically adjust the size of the lens opening to control how much light reaches the sensor, offering better exposure control and greater flexibility over depth of field. Kuo said that the component has an average selling price roughly 50% higher than the seven-element plastic lens Apple currently uses in the iPhone 17 Pro's main camera. Sunny Optical set to supply Apple between 40 and 50% of orders Sunny Optical has also become a new compact camera module (CCM) supplier for Apple, initially producing the camera for the MacBook Neo. ‌MacBook Neo‌ shipments have come in significantly better than expected, with Kuo doubling his 2026 forecast from 5 million to 10 million units, a notable upward revision as the entry-level Mac has materially exceeded early expectations. Looking further ahead, the 2028 iPhone's ultra wide camera module is expected to move away from flip-chip packaging in favor of an improved COB (chip-on-board) design, with Sunny Optical well positioned to become a supplier at that point. A COB ultra-wide module could be thinner or smaller, leaving more room for other components, or simply deliver better image quality from the same physical footprint. Beyond Apple, Kuo says Sunny Optical has secured component orders for two OpenAI devices, including a smartphone and a pocket or mobile device. The ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ and ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max are expected to launch in the fall alongside the first foldable iPhone.

Anthropic Launches Claude Opus 4.8 With Gains in Coding and Honesty | MacRumors
Anthropic Launches Claude Opus 4.8 With Gains in Coding and Honesty
Anthropic today announced the launch of its latest AI model, Claude Opus 4.8. Anthropic claims the model is a "more effective collaborator" with improvements in agentic coding, multidisciplinary reasoning, agentic computer use, knowledge work, and agentic financial analysis. Testers have found Opus 4.8 to be "more reliable and sharper in its judgement" when doing agentic tasks, and the model also made gains in honesty. Early testers report that Opus 4.8 is more likely to flag uncertainties about its work and less likely to make unsupported claims. This is borne out in our evaluations, which show that Opus 4.8 is around four times less likely than its predecessor to allow flaws in code it has written to pass unremarked. Alignment assessments suggest the model hits new highs on measures of prosocial traits like supporting user autonomy and acting in the user's best interest. Rates of misaligned behavior like deception are lower than Opus 4.7 and similar to the Claude Mythos Preview. Anthropic benchmarks indicate Opus 4.8 scored a 69.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, outperforming GPT–5.5 and Gemini 3.1 Pro on the test and several other benchmarks, though GPT–5.5 leads on the terminal-coding benchmark. Opus 4.8's fast mode also runs at 2.5x the speed, and it is now three times cheaper than prior models. Along with Opus 4.8, Anthropic is adding new features to its product lineup. Dynamic workflows (research preview) - Claude can complete bigger tasks in Claude Code. It is able to plan work and run hundreds of parallel subagents in a single session. It is able to complete codebase-scale migrations across hundreds of thousands of lines of code. The feature is available for Claude Code for Enterprise, Team, and Max plans. Effort control - In Claude.ai and Cowork, users can choose how much effort Claude puts into a response. With a lower setting, Claude will respond faster and use up rate limits more slowly. Opus 4.8 defaults to high effort, which Anthropic says is the best balance of quality and user experience. Messages API - The Messages API accepts system entries inside the messages array, so developers can update Claude's instructions mid-task. Claude Opus 4.8 is available everywhere today. Pricing for regular use has not changed compared to Opus 4.7. Anthropic is working on models that have the same capabilities as Opus 4.8 at a lower cost, and a new class of model that's even more intelligent than Opus. Anthropic says it has been developing safeguards for the Claude Mythos model it is testing with a small number of organizations, and it expects to be able to bring Mythos-class models to all customers "in the coming weeks."Tag: AnthropicThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Hold Off on Purchases, Students: Apple's Back to School Sale Is Coming Soon | MacRumors
Hold Off on Purchases, Students: Apple's Back to School Sale Is Coming Soon
Apple has started preparing for its annual Back to School promotion in the U.S. and Canada, according to backend Apple code seen by MacRumors. Apple holds a Back to School sale each June, providing teachers and students with free accessories or gift cards when purchasing a Mac or an iPad. The added bonus is in addition to Apple's educational discount. Back to School sales typically start around the middle of the month, but we don't yet know the start dates for this year's sale. The sale continues through the end of September, so students do not need to rush to prepare to return to school. Apple's Back to School promotions have varied. Last year, Apple offered eligible students, educators, and parents accessories worth up to $199 when purchasing a Mac or an ‌iPad‌. Free options included the AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation, Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad, Magic Keyboard with Touch ID, Apple Pencil Pro, and more. Looking back at Apple's past Back to School dates gives us an idea of when this year's sale will take place. 2021 - June 17 to September 27, free AirPods 2022 - June 24 to September 26, gift card up to $150 U.S. 2023 - June 5 (U.S.)/June 26 (Canada) to October 2, gift card up to $150 U.S. 2024 - June 20 to September 30, gift card up to $150 U.S. 2025 - June 17 to September 30, free accessory worth up to $199 The Back to School sale typically takes place around WWDC, and in three of the last five years, it has started 8 to 10 days after the WWDC keynote. With the 2026 keynote set to take place on June 8, we're likely to see the sale start the week of June 15. Students who are planning to purchase a new Mac or ‌iPad‌ may want to hold off until Apple's Back to School sale begins to get an added accessory or gift card. In past years, MacBooks, iPads, and iMacs have been eligible for a free add-on with purchase. Apple holds the promotion through its online education store and Apple retail locations. Students attending or accepted to a higher-education institution, parents purchasing on behalf of an eligible student, and employees at K–12 schools and higher-education institutions are eligible. Earlier this year, Apple began requiring UNiDAYS verification for educational discounts in the United States and Canada. Educational purchases now require academic status verification through an email address from an educational institution, a student or staff photo ID, or another valid educational document. Apple actually holds two Back to School sales per year, with one aimed at students in Australia, New Zealand, and other Southern Hemisphere markets. This year's January Back to School sale saw Apple offering students free AirPods, Apple Pencils, and other accessories. After the U.S. and Canada Back to School sales launch, Apple typically extends them to Europe, the Middle East, and Asia a few weeks later.Tag: Back to School PromotionThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Hold Off on Purchases, Students: Apple's Back to School Sale Is Coming Soon
Apple has started preparing for its annual Back to School promotion in the U.S. and Canada, according to backend Apple code seen by MacRumors. Apple holds a Back to School sale each June, providing teachers and students with free accessories or gift cards when purchasing a Mac or an iPad. The added bonus is in addition to Apple's educational discount. Back to School sales typically start around the middle of the month, but we don't yet know the start dates for this year's sale. The sale continues through the end of September, so students do not need to rush to prepare to return to school. Apple's Back to School promotions have varied. Last year, Apple offered eligible students, educators, and parents accessories worth up to $199 when purchasing a Mac or an ‌iPad‌. Free options included the AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation, Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad, Magic Keyboard with Touch ID, Apple Pencil Pro, and more. Looking back at Apple's past Back to School dates gives us an idea of when this year's sale will take place. 2021 - June 17 to September 27, free AirPods 2022 - June 24 to September 26, gift card up to $150 U.S. 2023 - June 5 (U.S.)/June 26 (Canada) to October 2, gift card up to $150 U.S. 2024 - June 20 to September 30, gift card up to $150 U.S. 2025 - June 17 to September 30, free accessory worth up to $199 The Back to School sale typically takes place around WWDC, and in three of the last five years, it has started 8 to 10 days after the WWDC keynote. With the 2026 keynote set to take place on June 8, we're likely to see the sale start the week of June 15. Students who are planning to purchase a new Mac or ‌iPad‌ may want to hold off until Apple's Back to School sale begins to get an added accessory or gift card. In past years, MacBooks, iPads, and iMacs have been eligible for a free add-on with purchase. Apple holds the promotion through its online education store and Apple retail locations. Students attending or accepted to a higher-education institution, parents purchasing on behalf of an eligible student, and employees at K–12 schools and higher-education institutions are eligible. Earlier this year, Apple began requiring UNiDAYS verification for educational discounts in the United States and Canada. Educational purchases now require academic status verification through an email address from an educational institution, a student or staff photo ID, or another valid educational document. Apple actually holds two Back to School sales per year, with one aimed at students in Australia, New Zealand, and other Southern Hemisphere markets. This year's January Back to School sale saw Apple offering students free AirPods, Apple Pencils, and other accessories. After the U.S. and Canada Back to School sales launch, Apple typically extends them to Europe, the Middle East, and Asia a few weeks later.Tag: Back to School PromotionThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Rivian Explains Why CarPlay Debate Will Become 'Completely Obsolete' | MacRumors
Rivian Explains Why CarPlay Debate Will Become 'Completely Obsolete'
On the latest episode of The Verge's Decoder podcast, Rivian's software chief Wassym Bensaid explained why the EV maker still refuses to offer Apple CarPlay. In short, Bensaid said Rivian does not want CarPlay to fully take over the software experience. "The challenge with screen mirroring solutions is that they take over every single pixel in the car," he said. Instead, Rivian prefers to offer its own interface with "end-to-end integration." Bensaid added that "deep AI integration into the car" will eventually make the debate over offering CarPlay in vehicles "completely obsolete." He believes that Rivian owners will be able to access the core functionality of many apps through an AI agent, rather than needing to rely on CarPlay or Android Auto. "I really believe that the way you interact with apps which are mono-threaded, single buttons, single icons, a lot of that will be now completely reshaped into a world where it will become an agentic integration that presents itself into a wholesome user experience to the user," Bensaid explained. However, he admitted that an AI agent becoming an "alternative solution" to CarPlay apps will take time to materialize. Already, Rivian owners are increasingly less interested in CarPlay, according to Bensaid. He said that Rivian's internal statistics showed that more than 70% of customers wanted CarPlay when their vehicles first launched around five years ago, but he said a recent survey showed that figure is apparently less than 25% now. "With the level of features that we have shipped to customers, with the level of end-to-end integration, with the level of convenience that we are bringing, CarPlay is, or Android Auto to that extent, is no longer the topic of discussion," he said.Related Roundup: CarPlayTag: RivianRelated Forum: HomePod, HomeKit, CarPlay, Home & Auto TechnologyThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Oura Ring 5 Unveiled With Smaller Design and Blood Pressure Tracking | MacRumors
Oura Ring 5 Unveiled With Smaller Design and Blood Pressure Tracking
Oura today unveiled the Oura Ring 5, a significantly smaller smart ring with new health-monitoring capabilities including blood pressure trend detection, nighttime breathing analysis, and tools for GLP-1 medication tracking. The Oura Ring 5 is 40% smaller than its predecessor, measuring 6.09mm wide and 2.29mm thick compared to 7.99mm and 2.88mm on the previous model. Oura says the reduction was achieved by redesigning the mechanical, electrical, optical, battery, and sensing architectures, and the company claims the new form factor more closely resembles a traditional wedding band. Despite the smaller size, Oura says battery life remains at approximately one week per charge. The ring's sensing system has also been overhauled. A new signal architecture uses precision-engineered sensor domes for better skin contact, more powerful LEDs, and twelve signal pathways that Oura says deliver greater accuracy across more finger types and skin tones. The headline software addition is "Health Radar," a proactive health-monitoring feature that builds on the company's existing Symptom Radar tool, which launched in 2024 to flag early signs of illness. Health Radar includes two initial capabilities: Blood Pressure Signals and Nighttime Breathing. Blood Pressure Signals continuously monitors for patterns that may indicate cardiovascular strain, surfacing nighttime blood pressure trends. Nighttime Breathing provides a 30-day rolling view of sleep-related breathing disturbances, with guidance on when to seek further evaluation. A new Health Records feature allows U.S. users to import diagnosed conditions, medications, lab results, and allergies directly into the app. Oura has also partnered with Counsel Health, an AI-powered virtual care platform, to let eligible users in 43 U.S. states ask health questions and connect with licensed physicians from within the app for an additional fee. New GLP-1 Insights tools let users track medication dosing, side effects, weight changes, and biometric data in one place. A Lab Uploads feature lets users import blood biomarker results alongside Oura's biometric data. Other new features include live workout tracking with real-time pace, distance, and heart rate via a connected device, a Brain Health Study through Oura Labs pairing cognitive assessments with biometric data, and a time-based Data Deletion tool allowing users to erase data from specific periods without affecting their full history. An optional new Charging Case accessory provides one month of battery and supports wireless charging, priced at $99. Oura is also introducing a Locate feature to track misplaced rings and charging cases. The Oura Ring 5 is priced at $399 in Silver and Black, with Gold, Stealth, Brushed Silver, and Deep Rose finishes priced at $499. The Oura Ring 4 in ceramic remains available at $349. An Oura Membership is required for full functionality at $5.99 per month or $69.99 annually. Global pre-orders open today, with shipping beginning June 4.

Report: Apple Plans to Make On-Device AI a Key WWDC Focus | MacRumors
Report: Apple Plans to Make On-Device AI a Key WWDC Focus
Apple reportedly plans to use next month's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) to highlight its on-device AI capabilities as a competitive advantage, leaning on 15 years of custom silicon expertise to make the case for running AI models locally rather than in the cloud. People familiar with Apple's plans speaking to The Information say the company is expected to showcase how the chips designed for iPhones, Apple Watches, and Macs give it an edge in processing AI queries directly on devices. While cloud-based processing will remain necessary for complex queries, Apple will position local inference as a privacy-preserving, cost-saving alternative to the massive data center buildouts its rivals have pursued. As part of its agreement with Google, Apple is apparently set to use a large version of Google's Gemini model to train a smaller, distilled version capable of running locally on Apple hardware. Apple is also said to be scouting acquisitions to help advance its model-shrinking work, with one company it has reportedly considered being Liquid AI, a Massachusetts startup focused on running AI locally on devices. Some queries will still require cloud processing. Apple is believed to have approved the use of Nvidia's confidential compute technology within Google Cloud to handle processing of the larger Gemini-based model. The security feature encrypts data and AI models during processing, adding a modest performance cost but offering stronger privacy protections. The arrangement represents a noticeable departure from Apple's original Apple Intelligence announcement, in which the company said all cloud-bound queries would be handled exclusively by its own Private Cloud Compute infrastructure running on Apple silicon. Apple is likely to retain the Private Cloud Compute branding despite the change, people familiar with the partnership told The Information. There are also said to be material limits to how far Apple can push on-device processing. Google's full Gemini model runs into the trillions of parameters, and The Information claims that Apple has struggled to run it on its own Private Cloud Compute infrastructure, which uses the same Apple silicon chips found in Mac computers. ‌Apple Intelligence‌ was first announced at WWDC 2024, but the rollout has been hampered by a tepid response to initial features and a protracted delay to the more personal version of Siri. Apple is now expected to use WWDC 2026, which runs from June 8 to reframe the narrative, reintroduce the delayed features, and debut new ones.

The Suitcase for MacBook Pro is a protective, lightweight case for ‘everyday life’

Twelve South’s new US$79.99 SuitCase is a minimalist hard shell case for the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros. I’ve found it especially suited to the latter thanks its longer battery life. I’ve tested it with a 2023 16-inch MacBook Pro. (See my review of the laptop...

The new BackPack is a great accessory for the Studio Pro, 24-inch iMac

I was a big fan of Twelve South’s original BackPack for the iMac when it was released 13 years ago. And I’m just as big a fan of the new BackPack for the Apple Studio Display and iMac. The US$44.99 product has one goal and achieves it flawlessly. The aluminum shelf...

HD Hero2 offers pro action video in a tiny package

By Erik Vlientinck

GoPro’s US$299.99 HD Hero2 camcorder (gopro.com) packs video-recording capabilities of 1080p/30, 960p/30, 960p/48, 720p/30, 720p/60, WVGA/60, and WVGA/120, as well as photo-capture capabilities (single, burst, self-timer, and time-lapse) at a maximum resolution of 11 megapixels. And it’s all in a box the size of a cigarette lighter!

Inkling digital pen/receiver is a bit sketchy

By Bruce Bicknell

The US$199 Inkling from Wacom (http://www.wacom.com) is a digital ink pen and receiver clip combination that allows you to draw or sketch anywhere and digitize those sketches.

Simply clip the receiver to your notebook or sketchpad and you’re ready to rock! The receiver captures all of the information from the pen. Push the button on the receiver to add new layers and set up the drawing for export to Photoshop, Illustrator, or Sketchbook Pro. This alone is cool enough but it does have some drawbacks, even on the sketching side.

Your MacBook Pro can travel in style with the Travel Express

I don’t travel as much as I once did. However, when I am on the go I pack my Retina Display MacBook Pro, and a couple of accessories: the power adapter and an external SuperDrive (the laptop doesn’t have a built-in optical drive).

To accommodate all these items I use the US$99 Travel Express from Waterfield Designs (http://www.sfbags.com). It’s a rugged, good-looking case. Add the optional shoulder strap for another $22 as I have and you also have a protective carry bag.
