iPhone 18 Pro could get a teleconverter for greater zoom
A new rumor claims that Apple is considering adding a DSLR-like teleconverter to the iPhone 18 Pro, increasing the cameras' focal length and zoom.The current iPhone 17 Pro Max's camerasPrevious rumors about the iPhone 18 Pro have included the claim that it will feature a variable aperture camera. Now a new report from leaker "Smart Pikachu" on Weibo backs up the variable aperture camera — but also introduces a totally new rumor.While the claim offers no details, it says that a teleconverter is being evaluated. That would be a kind of magnifying lens that increases the camera's focal length. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums

AI is forcing me to buy a new MacBook Pro | Macworld
AI is forcing me to buy a new MacBook Pro
Macworld Ever since I bought it from Apple’s refurbished store, my MacBook Pro with M1 Pro chip has served me well. But these days I’ve been thinking about upgrading it. The upcoming MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips (which could be released soon) are looking mighty tempting, and the rumors are encouraging. The main aspect is the noticeably improved performance that we should get with the new chips. Rumors suggest that GPU performance could be on par with Nvidia’s RTX 4070 graphics card, and combined with increasing support for high-end games like Cyberpunk 2077, this feels like a strong reason to upgrade. But there’s another reason that’s compelling me to upgrade sooner rather than later. I can’t help but think that this might be the perfect time to upgrade–and waiting too long could prove to be costly. Prices are exploding If you’ve been paying attention to the wider tech world in recent months, you might have noticed that the prices of computing components–particularly memory, but also storage, graphics cards, and more–are going through the roof. Apple’s Mac prices have yet to be affected by skyrocketing RAM prices, but that could all change this year.Christoph Hoffmann Many RAM sets have doubled in price or more in just a couple of months. PC users are frantically buying up stock before prices rise even further, which they’re expected to do over the course of 2026. Why the sudden panic? It’s all to do with AI. (What else?) With AI booming and companies either starting up or expanding operations everywhere you look, huge data centers are being constructed to meet the demand for AI compute. All those data centers need computing power, and that means they need memory. RAM manufacturers are switching their production processes towards the kind of high-capacity memory needed for AI and away from consumer kits, pushing prices up for ordinary users as production dwindles. In other words, AI has caused a massive shortage that isn’t expected to improve for at least a year. If this all concerns PC components, why should Apple users be worried? Well, Apple needs to buy memory for its laptops and desktops, too. What happens in PC land has a knock-on effect for Apple fans. Apple has traditionally been very good at insulating its devices against inflation. Look at the Mac mini, for example, which launched in 2005 at a price of $499–over 20 years of inflation later, it costs just $100 more. But there’s talk that even Apple will have to raise its prices in the wake of this global component shortage. And Apple has shown it’s not afraid to raise prices when global events demand it. Returning to the Mac mini, Apple pushed its price up in the U.K. after Brexit, for example, as it did with every other product it sold at the time. That means that the upcoming MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips could be the last chance to get a MacBook Pro at a reasonable price for some time. And that’s a risk that’s been seriously playing on my mind. What about the 20th anniversary MacBook Pro? The M5 Pro/Max MacBook Pro isn’t the only high-level MacBook we’re expecting this year. Claims have been made that by late 2026 (or possibly early 2027), a new model–the so-called 20th anniversary MacBook Pro–with an OLED display could hit store shelves. That OLED screen could give the device a massive visual boost, and it’s also rumored to come with touchscreen functionality. While I’m not a fan of touchscreen displays (I agree with Steve Jobs’ assertion that they’re “ergonomically terrible”), I’m open to being proved wrong. The M6 MacBook Pro is expected to feature several hardware changes, and a price increase seems unavoidable.Foundry The problem, though, is that this edition might come right as price increases start to bite. Throwing an OLED display into a device when memory prices are at their most extortionate seems like a recipe for sky-high costs. Which brings me back to the M5 Pro and M5 Max and their tantalizing performance. I love gaming, and I have a PC alongside my MacBook Pro for exactly that reason. While I mostly game at home on my PC, I want to be able to carry on while I’m traveling using my MacBook Pro. My M1 Pro chip has fulfilled this role well over the years, but it’s starting to show its age. Considering how well Apple’s modern Pro and Max chips perform when it comes to gaming, I’d love to be able to put them through their paces on the go with a new laptop. In an ordinary year, new chips like that could be enough to convince me to upgrade. But with the ongoing memory shortage and the threat of out-of-control price rises, that consideration has taken on a new urgency. If you’ve been considering buying a piece of Apple kit, now is the time to think very seriously about investing. No one can know for sure what will happen, but if any of the uncontrollable price rises on the PC side of the aisle are reflected in Apple’s ecosystem, things could get messy. Apple is a big company with sizeable cash reserves, and it might decide to eat some of the memory cost. But I’d be surprised if prices remained entirely unaffected. If you weren’t considering an upgrade to your Mac or other Apple kit, there’s no need to rush in and buy something you won’t need in the near future. We don’t know what the situation will look like in another 12 or 15 months. But if you’ve been eyeing an upgrade, this might be the time to make a move before it’s too late. I know I am.

Apple fans might want to brace for higher Mac prices this year | Macworld
Apple fans might want to brace for higher Mac prices this year
Macworld These early days of AI development are filled with promises, potential, excitement, hallucinations, and abominations. These early days are also costing us a lot of money, too. Take RAM, for example. Prices have skyrocketed because demand has skyrocketed, thanks to AI infrastructure needs. So far, the Apple consumer hasn’t been affected, but that could change soon. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently posted an analysis of the RAM market and how Apple could handle the situation surrounding its most important product, the iPhone. The TLDR version: Kuo thinks Apple will do what it can to “at least keep the starting price flat” for the iPhone 18 release this fall. According to Kuo, Apple may be willing to take a hit to its margins in the short term to tempt buyers as Android manufacturers increase their prices. The lost revenue could be made up through its Services division, he suggested. A few quick thoughts on Apple/iPhone memory price hikes:1. The 1Q26 LPDDR price hikes mentioned in the news are pretty close to what I’ve heard. NAND flash increases, however, are a bit lower.2. iPhone memory pricing is now negotiated quarterly instead of every six months, so…— 郭明錤 (Ming-Chi Kuo) (@mingchikuo) January 27, 2026 Apple’s Services have been posting record quarters for some time now, and its margins are probably quite favorable for Apple (and mostly unaffected by rising component costs). So Kuo’s idea makes sense, but–stepping outside of Kuo’s analysis now–can Services revenue really grow enough to offset the increased cost? It’s hard to tell what’s going to happen, not just with the RAM market, which Kuo expects to continue throughout 2026, but with anything in the supply chain. (Kuo reports that “other components could also run short as the AI server boom continues to squeeze the rest of the supply chain.” And I’m not even considering any possible tariffs.) Even without knowing Apple’s strategy, budgets, and internal numbers, it seems like hardware price increases must happen at some point, and the Mac seems like a product where Apple could raise prices. If Apple is adamant about keeping iPhone prices flat, Macs are a big enough market to help maintain Apple’s overall profitability, but small enough so that any negative response or a decrease in sales can be absorbed in the short run. Plus, it’s the only product where RAM is sold separately, so Apple has some flexibility with pricing. It also seems like ideal timing for a Mac price increase in the second half of this year. Apple reportedly will be releasing a revamped MacBook Pro with M6 chips, OLED touchscreen displays, and a thinner design. Higher prices for these laptops won’t fly under the radar, but they would certainly be camouflaged by the dramatic product changes. So if you’re planning on buying a Mac later this year, be prepared. Or buy one now. And if nothing happens, well, then, take that cash you saved and buy yourself some new AirTags.

Apple Updates iOS 12 For the First Time Since 2023 | Slashdot
Apple Updates iOS 12 For the First Time Since 2023
Apple quietly released its first update to iOS 12 since 2023 to keep iMessage, FaceTime, and device activation working on older hardware through January 2027. The update applies to legacy devices like the iPhone 5S, iPhone 6/6 Plus, and 2013-era iPads. Macworld reports: The update appears to be related to a specific issue. According to Apple's "About iOS 12 Updates" page, iOS 12.5.78 "extends the certificate required by features such as iMessage, FaceTime, and device activation to continue working after January 2027." Meanwhile, the iOS 16 update says it "provides important bug fixes and is recommended for all users." When iOS 13 arrived, it dropped compatibility for the iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus, as well as the 2013 iPad Air and iPad Mini 3, so users of those phones should specifically take note. To update to the latest version, head over to the Settings app, then General and Software Update, and follow the instructions.

Surf’s up with WaveCradle for the iPhone

By ‘Doctor’ Dave Greenbaum

While many of us personalize our phones with stylish cases and decals, we leave these works of art simply lying on a desk or bedside table ignoring the balance of form and function they provide.

Fortunately, the US$28.50 WaveCradle (http://www.wavecradle.com/) saves us from iPhone mediocrity. The primary purpose of WaveCradle is to enhance and amplify the audio output of your iPhone without the use of speakers or other extra hardware. The WaveCradle uses natural acoustics to direct the sound to the listener via its curved design.

3M confidential filters bars your Mac screen from prying eyes

Because of the design of the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and iMac, these Macs haven’t been able to attach mobile privacy filters to protect on-screen data — until now. 3M — yep, that 3M, the company that specializes in adhesives through their iconic Scotch Tape brand — has served up Mac Confidential privacy filters (http://macte.ch/BzBWB).

The company is offering three designs of privacy filters specifically for these Macs. They use a clear, adhesive strip to attach a privacy filter. They also protect the Mac screen from dust and dirt.

Kool Tools: Cell Link

The US$54.95 Cellink I (http://usbcelldrive.com) is a portable backup battery, USB charger, micro SD card reader, and data transfer device all in one. It works with iOS devices.

Its 600 mAh rechargeable back up battery restores and extends battery life for mobile devices. For example, it can provide over 90 minutes of continuous talk time and over two days of standby time.
