Studio Display 2022 vs. Studio Display 2026 Buyer's Guide
Apple updated the Studio Display earlier this month, four years after the original launched. Here's how it compares to the original model. The new model keeps the same $1,599 starting price, 27-inch 5K panel, and overall design, but brings a handful of small internal improvements: a newer chip, upgraded Thunderbolt connectivity, Desk View camera support, and improved bass. The display itself, a 60Hz LCD panel with 600 nits of brightness, is unchanged. Our guide helps you to understand the differences between the two models, and answer the question of which of these two Studio Displays is best for you and whether it's worth upgrading. Here is everything that differs between the 2022 and 2026 Studio Display: ‌Studio Display‌ (2022) ‌Studio Display‌ (2026) A13 Bionic chip A19 chip 4GB RAM 8GB RAM 64GB internal storage 128GB internal storage One Thunderbolt 3 port (upstream, 96W host charging) Two Thunderbolt 5 ports (one upstream with 96W host charging, one downstream for accessories or daisy-chaining) Three USB-C ports Two USB-C ports 12MP Center Stage camera 12MP Center Stage camera with Desk View support Six-speaker sound system Six-speaker sound system with 30% deeper bass Standard Thunderbolt cable included Thunderbolt 5 Pro cable (1m) included Compatible with Intel and Apple silicon Macs Requires Apple silicon Mac (2020 or later) For existing 2022 ‌Studio Display‌ owners, there is no general-purpose reason to upgrade. The panel is identical, the pass-through charging is the same 96W, and the practical day-to-day experience in front of both screens is the same. The Thunderbolt 5 ports are the only change that meaningfully affect how the display is used, and only if you need high-bandwidth peripherals or daisy-chaining. For everyone else, the update is not worth the cost of replacement. Studio Display vs. Studio Display XDR Buyer's Guide For new buyers, the picture is a little more nuanced. At the same $1,599 starting price, the 2026 model is the obvious choice; it is simply the better-specified display for the same money and may last longer. However, the 2022 ‌Studio Display‌ has been discontinued and stock is available at a discount from third-party retailers. Given how little changed between the two generations, the older model at a sufficiently lower price is a good purchase for most buyers, particularly if you have no need for Thunderbolt 5 or Desk View. The display panel itself is identical. The compatibility constraint is also worth bearing in mind: The 2026 model requires an Apple silicon Mac, while the 2022 model works with Intel machines too. Apple stopped selling Intel Macs in 2023, so this will only affect a narrowing group, but it is a hard limitation if it applies to you.Related Roundup: Studio DisplayBuyer's Guide: Displays (Buy Now)Related Forum: Mac AccessoriesThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Don't Like Your Gmail Email Address? You Can Finally Change It
Google today announced that you can finally change the Google Account email address that you use for Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Photos, Google Drive, and more, but this ability is only rolling out to U.S. accounts for now. The company did not indicate if or when this functionality will be available in other countries. You can switch to any available @gmail.com address, and your previous address will become an alias, ensuring that you retain ownership of your original email address. You can still sign in and send and receive emails with both addresses. You can change your Google Account's email address once per year, up to three times total, and Google says all emails and other account data and history are preserved. If you change your mind, you can revert to your old email address. This new ability will be especially useful for longtime Gmail users who may have chosen a casual email address when they were younger. For example, maybe 13-year-old you signed up for sk8erboi2006@gmail.com, but as an adult you would prefer to have a more professional johnsmith@gmail.com address. It was already possible to set up other email addresses as aliases in Gmail, but now you can change your account's main email address entirely. Google provides more details in a support document.Tags: Gmail, GoogleThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple TV Teases New 'Highly Anticipated' Psychological Thriller Series
Apple today released a teaser trailer for Cape Fear, a new "highly anticipated" psychological thriller series starring Amy Adams, Patrick Wilson, and Javier Bardem. The first two episodes of the 10-episode limited series will premiere on Apple TV on Friday, June 5, and one new episode will follow every Friday through July 31. In the series, Apple says a storm is coming for happily married attorneys Anna (Adams) and Tom Bowden (Wilson) when the notorious killer Max Cady (Bardem) they are responsible for putting behind bars is let out of prison and wants vengeance. There is a 70-year history behind this series. The upcoming Apple TV show was inspired by the 1991 film Cape Fear, directed by Martin Scorsese and produced by Steven Spielberg. That film was itself a remake of the 1962 film of the same name, which was based on the 1957 novel The Executioners by John D. MacDonald. This latest remake was created by Nick Antosca, who serves as showrunner. Scorsese and Spielberg serve as executive producers alongside Antosca. In the U.S., Apple TV is priced at $12.99 per month or $129 per year, with a free one-week trial available for new subscribers. Apple TV is also included in Apple One and Peacock bundles, with all of the options outlined on Apple's website. You can stream Apple TV in the Apple TV app, which is available on the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV 4K, Apple Vision Pro, Android, PlayStation, Xbox, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, select smart TVs, on the web at tv.apple.com, and more.Related Roundup: Apple TVTags: Apple TV Service, Apple TV ShowsBuyer's Guide: Apple TV (Don't Buy)Related Forum: Apple TV and Home TheaterThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

iOS 27 Shortcuts App May Write Custom Actions for You Using AI
Apple continues to develop a new feature for its Shortcuts app that will let users generate unique actions using Apple Intelligence models, based on backend code discovered by Nicolás Alvarez and confirmed by MacRumors. For those unfamiliar with the Shortcuts app, the tool lets users create custom workflows or actions – called shortcuts – to perform tasks automatically or with minimal interaction. Actions can include anything from sending messages to controlling smart home devices. The app emerged out of Apple's 2017 acquisition of Workflow, which was rebranded as Shortcuts the following year. As part of iOS 26, Apple added Apple Intelligence support to the Shortcuts app, allowing AI models to be incorporated into shortcuts. In contrast, the new version that Apple is working on will let users create actions using Apple Intelligence models – by issuing voice commands in natural language, for example. Last June, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported that Apple was working on the AI-driven feature for release in 2025, but he said that delays could see it launch in 2026. For iOS 27, Apple is expected to include a revamped Siri that functions like a genuine conversational chatbot and can interact with apps, so it's likely that the shortcuts generator will be part of its skill set.Related Roundup: iOS 27Tag: ShortcutsThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

AirPods Max 2 Review: Better Sound and ANC, Same Design Frustrations
The $549 AirPods Max 2 are set to launch tomorrow, and ahead of the debut of the new over-ear headphones, Apple sent a pair for MacRumors videographer Dan Barbera to check out. Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos. With the new H2 chip in the AirPods Max, Apple says Active Noise Cancellation is 1.5x better than the ANC in the prior-generation model, and ANC is indeed clearly improved. More exterior noise is eliminated than before, plus audio quality has changed. There's a new digital signal processing algorithm and a high dynamic range amplifier, and when comparing the AirPods Max USB-C to the ‌AirPods Max 2‌, you can hear the difference. There's more separation between highs, mids, and lows, and there's more bass than before, but it doesn't feel overdone. Audiophiles who pay attention to how music is mixed will appreciate the quality boost in the ‌AirPods Max 2‌. You're getting sound similar to the AirPods Pro 3, but with the over-ear form factor, which provides a wider soundstage and richer audio. Individual instruments are easier to pick out with spatial audio, and spatial audio feels more immersive. The ‌AirPods Max 2‌ are some of the best over-ear headphones you can get right now. You'll get the clearest sound over USB-C, since the ‌AirPods Max 2‌ support 24-bit 48kHz lossless audio. The USB-C AirPods Max had lossless audio support too, but the updated sound adds more depth. When you're using a wireless connection, there is a small difference between the ‌AirPods Max 2‌ and the prior version, since the ‌AirPods Max 2‌ are using Bluetooth 5.3. Unfortunately, Apple didn't update the AirPods Max form factor at all, and that's a major downside. These are still some of the heaviest headphones on the market at 385 grams, and Apple hasn't addressed any design complaints. There's been no change in weight, the headband is the same, and even the minimal case that no one likes is still around. Battery life hasn't changed at 20 hours of listening time, there continues to be no power button to turn the AirPods Max off, and there aren't even any new colors. The H2 chip brings several features that the AirPods Max should have gotten some time ago, so Apple is just bringing the headphones on par with the ‌AirPods Pro 3‌ and the AirPods 4. Adaptive Audio blends ANC and Transparency to adjust sound on the fly based on where you are, and Conversation Awareness pauses audio if you start to speak to someone. Real-time Live Translation is available on the ‌AirPods Max 2‌, and there are other nice-to-have features like Personalized Volume for customizing volume based on listening habits and Loud Sound Reduction to cut down on exterior noise. Phone calls sound better with Voice Isolation and improved microphones, and you can activate Siri without the need to say "Hey." ‌Siri‌ also supports interactions, so you can do things like nod to accept a call or shake your head to decline. Like the ‌AirPods Pro 3‌, the ‌AirPods Max 2‌ can be used as a camera shutter for the iPhone or iPad. The ‌AirPods Max 2‌ sound fantastic and are great at cutting down on noise, but it is a somewhat disappointing update because Apple didn't refine the design of the headphones. If you have the original AirPods Max from 2020, not much has changed except for the sound profile. Whether it's worth $549 to upgrade to the ‌AirPods Max 2‌ will depend on the person. Sound quality is up, but no new design makes the headphones feel dated. If you're new to the AirPods and want the best sound you can get via Apple-designed headphones, you won't go wrong with the ‌AirPods Max 2‌ as long as you don't mind the weight or the case. The ‌AirPods Max 2‌ will be available starting tomorrow.Related Roundup: AirPods Max 2Buyer's Guide: AirPods Max (Buy Now)Related Forum: AirPodsThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

iPhone 20 Rumored to Feature Radical Curved Design
Apple's 20th anniversary iPhone will feature a radical new curved design with slimmer bezels, according to a new report. The X user "@phonefuturist" shared the claims across two posts yesterday and today. The first suggested that the device, referred to as the "anniversary" iPhone, will feature a 1.1mm bezel around the display, along with a seamlessly curved design. The post included a mock-up image showing convex display glass curving down at the edges to meet a slim, iPhone X-like polished frame. The iPhone 17 Pro has a bezel size of approximately 1.44mm. In a follow-up post today, the same account today referred to the device as the iPhone "XX" for iPhone 20 and claimed Apple has been evaluating Samsung's under-panel camera (UPC) technology as an alternative to the under-display camera (UDC) approach more commonly discussed in rumors, but found the image quality insufficient. As a result, the post claims the iPhone 20 may ship with either a smaller Dynamic Island than the current ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ or a punch-hole cutout, paired with Samsung's "Polar ID" face authentication system. The claims should be taken with a considerable pinch of salt given the source's unknown credibility. That said, the information is being widely circulated on social media, and parts of it broadly align with the direction more established leakers and analysts have been pointing toward for the 20th anniversary iPhone. In addition to this information, Apple tried using Samsung's UPC instead of UDC to achieve full screen but the camera quality is still not good better than UDC. So the XX might come with a smaller dynamic island than even the 18 Pro or a punch hole and Samsung's polar ID. https://t.co/tuEer5uieF— Schrödinger (@phonefuturist) March 31, 2026 Apple is reportedly still targeting an all-screen design for the iPhone 20, though as recently as January, reports suggested the all-screen ambition may be in doubt due to the technical difficulty of hiding a front-facing camera beneath the display without degrading photo quality. The under-display camera problem is well documented. Current UDC implementations, including those used by some Android manufacturers, have struggled to match the image quality of conventionally positioned sensors. With UPC, the camera sits behind the panel but uses a perforated pixel structure rather than a fully transparent region. This means it can theoretically reduce the visual footprint of a cutout, though it has its own quality trade-offs. If Apple cannot resolve the camera quality issue before the device launches, a smaller ‌Dynamic Island‌ or a conventional punch-hole may represent the fallback position. The iPhone 18 Pro is already expected to be the first iPhone with a smaller Dynamic Island, so the iPhone 20 could take that reduction further still. Apple's 20th anniversary iPhone is expected to arrive in the fall of 2027. Tag: 20th-Anniversary iPhoneThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Amazon Leo Satellite Internet Coming to Delta Flights in 2028
Amazon today announced that it is bringing more high-speed Wi-Fi to Delta Air Lines customers via its Amazon Leo technology, which is powered by a constellation of thousands of satellites in low Earth orbit – roughly 370 miles above the planet's surface. Under the multi-year agreement, Delta will begin rolling out Amazon Leo in 2028 with an initial installation on 500 aircraft, "providing customers with high-speed, low-latency Wi-Fi from gate-to-gate." Each Delta aircraft will be equipped with a single purpose-built phased array antenna that supports download speeds up to 1 Gbps and upload speeds up to 400 Mbps. "We've designed Leo to provide high-speed internet to the billions of people on Earth without reliable connectivity, and this agreement with Delta is a great example of the impact and scale of the technology – bringing even faster in-flight Wi-Fi to tens of millions of passengers who fly Delta every year," said Andy Jassy, President and CEO of Amazon. "People increasingly want to stay connected wherever they are in the world, and Leo's speed and reliability is going to have a big impact for businesses, governments, and consumers. It's going to make the in-flight experience so much better, and it's going to change what's possible while traveling."Like Delta's existing commitment to passengers, Leo-powered in-flight Wi-Fi will be free for all Delta SkyMiles members.Tag: Delta AirlinesThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Sets Privacy Rules for Third-Party Access to Live Activities and Notifications
As part of its interoperability compliance in the EU, Apple has been working on changes to iOS that allow AirPods-like pairing and notification forwarding for third-party wearables on iPhone. In the iOS 26.5 beta released on Monday, Apple added Live Activities forwarding, and the company has now revised its Developer Program License Agreement with new rules on how the forwarding features should be accessed. In a new section titled "3.3.3 (J), Accessory Notifications Framework and Accessory Live Activities Framework," Apple says that third parties "may not use Forwarding Information for advertising, profiling, training models, or monitoring location." It also states that they "may not disseminate the Forwarding Information to any other Application, or any other device besides Your Authorized Target Accessory." The new section goes on to state that developers can't store forwarded notification data on servers, in the cloud, or on any remote device, and the data can only be decrypted on the accessory itself, not on a server or anywhere else along the way. Besides formatting adjustments, the forwarded information can't be altered in any way that changes its meaning, while the accessory that receives the notification can't share that data or its encryption keys with any other device, including the user's own iPhone. In other words, the data must be locked to the device it was sent to. Even if a developer's app doesn't use these frameworks at all, Apple says it reserves the right to forward that app's notifications to a third-party accessory if the user enables it. Last September, Apple complained that its obligations under the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) would cause feature rollout delays in the bloc, but it also warned of new privacy and security threats. Apple based these threats on companies' submitted requests, which included the complete content of a user's notifications, as well as the full history of Wi-Fi networks a user has joined. Apple said it had explained the risks of such requests to the European Commission, but the concerns had not been accepted as valid reasons to turn them down. The new developer rules appear to be Apple's best effort to mitigate the risks regardless. Taken together, they make it clear that Apple wants no tracking, no profiling, no cloud copies, and no sharing between devices, with developers bearing full responsibility for their app's compliance with the new rules.

Ollama Now Runs Faster on Macs Thanks to Apple's MLX Framework
Ollama, the popular app for running AI models locally on a computer, has released an update that takes advantage of Apple's own machine learning framework, MLX. The result is a hefty speed boost on Macs with Apple silicon. According to Ollama, the new version processes prompts around 1.6 times faster (prefill speed) and nearly doubles the speed at which it generates responses (decode speed). Macs with M5-series chips are said to see the largest improvements, thanks to Apple's new GPU Neural Accelerators. The update also includes smarter memory management, which should make AI-powered coding tools and chat assistants feel noticeably more responsive during extended use. Ollama says the new performance boost should especially benefit macOS users who run personal assistants like OpenClaw or coding agents like Claude Code, OpenCode, or Codex. The preview release is available to download as Ollama 0.19 – just make sure you have a Mac with more than 32GB of unified memory to run it. Support is currently limited to Alibaba's Qwen3.5, but Ollama says support for more AI models is planned.This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Leans Into Little Finder Guy With New TikTok Videos
When promoting the MacBook Neo, Apple found a surprise hit with a tiny anthropomorphized version of the Mac Finder icon, which people have taken to calling Little Finder Guy. Little Finder Guy starred in some of Apple's early March TikTok videos, and Apple is now targeting Finder fans with a trio of new videos. Three tutorials on Apple's TikTok account star Little Finder Guy. Videos feature Stacks on the Mac desktop, ring light for video apps, and dictation. The tutorials are all shown on the ‌MacBook Neo‌, and each one includes Little Finder Guy. Most of the comments on the videos are about Apple's new Finder mascot. Stephen Hackett of 512 Pixels has created a .3mf file for 3D printing a Little Finder Guy for those that have a printer available. Android has long had a 3D mascot that's a hybrid between a bug and a droid, which Google calls The Bot, so now there is an Apple equivalent.Tags: Apple Ads, TikTokThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Safari Technology Preview Turns 10: A Decade of Testing Apple's Web Technologies
Today marks the 10th anniversary of Safari Technology Preview, a version of Safari that's aimed at testing new web technologies. Apple first announced ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ for Mac on March 30, 2016, and rolled it out that same day. At the time, Apple said that it wanted to get feedback from developers on browser development using a method more easily accessible than WebKit. "Get a sneak peek at upcoming web technologies in macOS and iOS with ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ and experiment with these technologies in your websites and extensions," reads the description on Apple's developer website. ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ can be used side-by-side with the main Safari browser, and it can be set as the default if users prefer it. Though it is designed for developers, it does not require a developer account to download and use. ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ has a purple icon to distinguish it from the standard version of Safari. STP is compatible with macOS Sequoia and macOS Tahoe right now, and when macOS 27 launches, it will work with ‌macOS 27‌ and ‌macOS Tahoe‌. Apple regularly releases updates for ‌Safari Technology Preview‌, and over the last decade, we've had 240 versions. Apple provides detailed release notes for each update, highlighting new additions and bug fixes in STP that will later come to the primary version of Safari. ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ can be downloaded from Apple's developer website.Tag: Safari Technology PreviewThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Everything New in iOS 26.5 Beta 1
iOS 26.5 is now available for developers, and while it doesn't include any new Siri capabilities, there are some major changes for the European Union, and smaller tweaks for features available worldwide. Suggested Places In the Maps app, there's a new "Suggested Places" feature that recommends locations to visit based on trending places nearby and recent searches. When Apple launches ads in Maps, it will also show ads. Ads in Maps iOS 26.5 lays the groundwork for ads in the Maps app. Apple plans to implement ads this summer, with businesses able to purchase ads that are shown in search results and Suggested Places. Code in iOS 26.5 says the following: "Maps may show local ads based on your approximate location, current search terms, or view of the map while you search." Ads will have a clear "ad" label. RCS End-to-End Encryption Apple re-enabled end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for RCS messages between iPhone and Android users in iOS 26.5. Apple tested the feature in the iOS 26.4 beta, but not include E2EE in the final version. There is a toggle for End-to-End Encryption in the Messages section of the Settings app, and the feature is enabled by default. E2EE for ‌RCS‌ means that conversations between iPhone and Android users are encrypted and cannot be intercepted and read by a third party. European Union Third-Party Wearable Changes Apple is working on new interoperability features in the EU to comply with the requirements of the Digital Markets Act. Apple has tested these features in prior betas, but the Live Activity sharing feature is new. Proximity pairing - Devices like earbuds will be able to pair with an iOS device in an AirPods-like way by bringing the accessory close to an iPhone or iPad to initiate a simple, one-tap pairing process. Pairing third-party devices will no longer require multiple steps. Notifications - Third-party accessories like smart watches will be able to receive notifications from the iPhone. Users will be able to view and react to incoming notifications, which is a capability normally limited to the Apple Watch. Notifications can only be forwarded to one connected device at a time, and turning on notifications for a third-party device disables notifications to an Apple Watch. Notifications from select apps can be forwarded, or from all apps. Live Activities - Live Activities are able to sync to a third-party wearable, similar to other notifications. This is a feature that appears to be new to iOS 26.5. There's no word on when the EU third-party wearable features will launch, and Apple also tested them in the iOS 26.3 and iOS 26.4 betas before removing them when the software was released to the public. Magic Accessories When you connect an accessory like a Magic Keyboard to an iPhone over USB-C, the iPhone will automatically establish a Bluetooth connection with the accessory. iPhone to Android Transfer When switching from an iPhone to an Android device, there appears to be a new setting for selecting which message attachments to transfer over. There are options for All, 1 year, or 30 days. Apple Books There are mentions of new awards in the Apple Books app, which are likely for year-end wrap-ups. Keyboard Layout iOS 26.5 has an Inuktitut keyboard layout option.Related Roundups: iOS 26, iPadOS 26Related Forum: iOS 26This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Pulls Vibe Coding App 'Anything' From App Store, Escalating Enforcement
Apple has removed a "vibe coding" app from its App Store, reports The Information. AI app building app "Anything" was pulled from the ‌App Store‌, and Anything co-founder Dhruv Amin was told that his app violated Guideline 2.5.2. "Vibe coding" is a term used for code generated using AI based on natural language with no coding experience necessary. Anything and other apps like it let users create apps, websites, and tools with text-based prompts. Apple started removing vibe coding apps from the ‌App Store‌ earlier in March, and the company said that certain features in the apps that were pulled violate code execution rules. In a statement to MacRumors, Apple said that there are no specific rules against vibe coding, but the apps have to adhere to longstanding guidelines. Apple specifically mentioned Guideline 2.5.2, which is the rule Anything apparently violated. Apps should be self-contained in their bundles, and may not read or write data outside the designated container area, nor may they download, install, or execute code which introduces or changes features or functionality of the app, including other apps. Educational apps designed to teach, develop, or allow students to test executable code may, in limited circumstances, download code provided that such code is not used for other purposes. Such apps must make the source code provided by the app completely viewable and editable by the user. "Anything" launched on iOS back in November with no issue, and Amin says the tool has been used to publish thousands of apps in the ‌App Store‌. The app let users create and preview vibe code apps on the iPhone, and it raised $11 million at a valuation of $100 million back in September. While Anything was removed from the ‌App Store‌ on March 26, Apple has been blocking updates to the app since December. Amin submitted an update that would allow vibe coded apps to be previewed in a web browser instead of in the app to attempt to comply with the 2.5.2 rule, but Apple blocked the update and pulled the app. Apple previously blocked iOS updates to Vibecode and Replit, vibe coding apps used to generate other apps.Tag: App StoreThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Lays Groundwork for Ads in Maps With iOS 26.5
Apple is planning to introduce ads to the Apple Maps app in the near future, and the iOS 26.5 beta lays the groundwork for the feature. Code in the update says the following: "Maps may show local ads based on your approximate location, current search terms, or view of the map while you search." Apple also says that a user's location and ads interacted with in ‌Apple Maps‌ are not linked to an Apple account to protect user privacy. Apple does not plan to collect or store Maps app data, or share it with third parties. Last week, Apple said that ads are coming to the Apple Maps app for iPhone and iPad in the U.S. and Canada "this summer." Businesses in the U.S. and Canada will be able to show ads in search results and at the top of a "Suggested Places" section in the app, which is new in iOS 26.5. Suggested Places displays recommendations for locations to visit based on trending places nearby, recent searches, and more. Ads in the Maps app will have a clear "Ad" label, much like the ads shown in the App Store search results.Related Roundups: iOS 26, iPadOS 26Tag: Apple MapsRelated Forum: iOS 26This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Testing AirPods-Like Pairing, Live Activities and Notification Forwarding for Third-Party Wearables in EU With iOS 26.5
For the last several months, Apple has been working on interoperability changes that are set to be implemented in the European Union to comply with the Digital Markets Act. Apple is developing AirPods-like pairing and notification forwarding for third-party wearables. Testing on these features started back in iOS 26.3 and continued in iOS 26.4, but the options have not yet launched. Apple is still testing them in iOS 26.5, and both notification forwarding and proximity pairing for wearables are included in the iOS 26.5 beta. Today's update also appears to include a new feature forwarding Live Activities to a third-party wearable device, so Live Activities will be included under the notification forwarding umbrella. Third-party wearables like earbuds will be able to use proximity pairing, similar to AirPods. Bringing a set of earbuds close to an iPhone or iPad will initiate an AirPods-like one-tap pairing process, so pairing third-party earbuds and other wearables will no longer require multiple steps. Apple is also planning to allow third-party accessories like smartwatches to receive notifications from the iPhone. Users will be able to view and react to incoming notifications, which is a capability currently limited to the Apple Watch. Notifications are only able to be forwarded to one connected device at a time, and turning on notifications for a third-party device disables notifications on an Apple Watch. Apple has not provided details on when these features will launch in the European Union, but the European Commission said that Apple will roll them out in Europe in 2026. Developers can test third-party TVs, smartwatches, and headphones with the new options. The notification forwarding and proximity pairing features are only going to be available to device makers and users in the EU.Related Roundups: AirPods 4, iOS 26, iPadOS 26Tag: European UnionBuyer's Guide: AirPods (Neutral)Related Forums: AirPods, iOS 26This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Intelligence Accidentally Goes Live in China Before Regulatory Approval
Apple accidentally started rolling out Apple Intelligence features in China before receiving regulatory approval, reports Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Some Chinese users began seeing ‌Apple Intelligence‌ features listed as available and active in the Settings app on their iPhones, but Apple made no formal announcement. Gurman says that Apple is not planning to launch the feature imminently, and that its availability was a mistake. Apple has since removed the ‌Apple Intelligence‌ features. Gurman claims that Apple would not launch AI features in China without an announcement, nor would it launch AI in China in the middle of the night local time. The feature also currently uses Google reverse image search, and Google is banned in China. Apple has not been able to launch ‌Apple Intelligence‌ features in China because the country restricts foreign AI technology. Apple is partnering with Alibaba to power ‌Apple Intelligence‌ capabilities, but Apple needs regulatory approval from China's Cyberspace Administration (CAC). The CAC has to test and approve all AI models before AI services are able to launch in China, and there have been ongoing delays with that process. It is unclear when ‌Apple Intelligence‌ features will come to China, but Apple is eager to launch in the country. Chinese smartphone makers like Huawei and Xiaomi have a variety of AI features available to customers, which puts Apple far behind in the AI race.Related Roundups: iOS 26, iPadOS 26Tags: Apple Intelligence, ChinaRelated Forum: iOS 26This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

New Siri Features Absent From iOS 26.5 Beta, Likely Pushed to iOS 27 in September
The iOS 26.5 beta that Apple released today includes no new Apple Intelligence Siri functionality, which suggests we're going to be waiting until iOS 27 to see any of the promised ‌Siri‌ features. Apple was initially targeting iOS 26.4 for new ‌Siri‌ capabilities, but in February, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said that the company wasn't going to make that goal due to ongoing accuracy issues. He said that Apple could postpone some or all of the new ‌Siri‌ features until iOS 26.5 and ‌iOS 27‌. At the time, Apple engineers were apparently using iOS 26.5 for internal ‌Siri‌ testing, and the employees said the update included all of the ‌Apple Intelligence‌ ‌Siri‌ features that Apple promised back at WWDC 2024, but there are no signs of those additions to ‌Siri‌ now that the beta is available to developers. It's possible that ‌Siri‌ features could come in a later beta of iOS 26.5, but that's looking less and less likely as we get closer to June and the ‌iOS 27‌ WWDC debut. Last week, Gurman said that ‌iOS 27‌ would include a standalone Siri chatbot app and all of the ‌Apple Intelligence‌ ‌Siri‌ features, indicating members of the public won't get a smarter ‌Siri‌ until ‌iOS 27‌ launches in September 2026. When Apple introduced ‌Apple Intelligence‌ ‌Siri‌ in June 2024, it said the feature set would launch in an update to iOS 26 coming in 2025. When spring 2025 rolled around, Apple announced a delay and said that ‌Siri‌ was not ready and needed more time. After that setback, Apple made no promise other than saying the revamped version of ‌Siri‌ would launch in 2026. Behind-the-scenes rumors suggested Apple was targeting iOS 26.4 and development was further delayed, but Apple never publicly mentioned the iOS 26.4 update. As long as Apple launches the new ‌Siri‌ features before December 2026, it will be on track to deliver what it promised. The version of ‌Siri‌ that Apple has planned for ‌iOS 27‌ will go above and beyond what was demonstrated at WWDC 2024. ‌Siri‌ is turning into a full chatbot, with a standalone ‌Siri‌ app and feature set that will put the personal assistant on par with Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI chatbots.Related Roundups: iOS 26, iPadOS 26, iOS 27Tag: SiriRelated Forum: iOS 26This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

iOS 26.5 Beta Continues RCS End-to-End Encryption Testing for iPhone and Android Messages
Apple tested end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for RCS messages exchanged between iPhone and Android users in the iOS 26.4 beta, but Apple made it clear the functionality was not going to launch in the iOS 26.4 update. E2EE for ‌RCS‌ was removed before iOS 26.4 was released, but the feature is back in the iOS 26.5 beta as Apple continues testing it. In the Messages section of the Settings app, the End-to-End Encryption toggle is back in the ‌RCS‌ options, and like before, it is turned on by default. End-to-end encryption ensures that messages sent between devices cannot be intercepted and read by a third party. Right now, ‌RCS‌ messages sent between Android and iPhone users do not have E2EE, but ‌RCS‌ messages between Android users do. iMessages exchanged between iPhone users have always had end-to-end encryption. E2EE is in beta and is not available to all devices or carriers in iOS 26.5. Conversations that are encrypted have a lock symbol.Related Roundups: iOS 26, iPadOS 26Tags: Android, RCSRelated Forum: iOS 26This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Releases First watchOS 26.5, tvOS 26.5 and visionOS 26.5 Betas
Apple today provided developers with the first betas of upcoming watchOS 26.5, tvOS 26.5, and visionOS 26.5 betas for testing purposes. The software comes a week after Apple launched the 26.4 versions of each platform. The software updates are available through the Settings app on each device, and because these are developer betas, a free developer account is required. There's no word on what's in the software as of yet. watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS often get few features in each new beta, with updates primarily focusing on bug fixes and performance improvements. Apple will likely provide public beta testers with access to the tvOS 26.5 and watchOS 26.5 betas in April, but visionOS 26.5 will remain limited to developers.Related Roundups: Apple TV, Apple Vision Pro, watchOS 26Buyer's Guide: Apple TV (Don't Buy), Vision Pro (Buy Now)Related Forums: Apple TV and Home Theater, Apple Vision Pro, Apple WatchThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Seeds First iOS 26.5 and iPadOS 26.5 Betas to Developers
Apple today seeded the first betas of upcoming iOS 26.5 and iPadOS 26.5 updates to developers for testing purposes, with the software coming a week after Apple released iOS 26.4 and iPadOS 26.4. Registered developers can download the betas from the Settings app on the iPhone or iPad by going to the General section and selecting Software Update. It's possible iOS 26.5 and iPadOS 26.5 will include new Apple Intelligence Siri features, but it's sounding like those capabilities are going to be held until iOS 27. Apple is planning to implement end-to-end encrypted RCS messages at some point, so that functionality could come in iOS 26.5, plus Apple has been planning to implement notification forwarding and proximity pairing for third-party wearables in the EU. It's not known what other features might be included in iOS 26.5, but we'll provide updates when we've installed the new software.

Apple Discontinued More Than Just the Mac Pro This Month
While it felt inevitable, it was still big news last week when Apple announced that the Mac Pro was discontinued after a nearly 20-year run. Apple discontinued a lot more than just the Mac Pro this month, though, as outlined below. Mac Studio with 512GB of RAM Apple no longer allows customers to configure the Mac Studio with 512GB of RAM, with the maximum amount of unified memory now limited to 256GB. Apple has not publicly commented on removing the 512GB of RAM option, but it was likely because of the ongoing memory chip shortage, which has resulted in the price of RAM chips skyrocketing. It is possible that Apple could allow the Mac Studio to be configured with 512GB of RAM again one day, once supply catches up to demand. 14-inch MacBook Pro with 512GB of Storage The new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips start with at least 1TB of storage, and Apple also decided to bump the minimum storage for the lower-end 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M5 chip to 1TB. This means the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M5 chip and 512GB of storage was discontinued. Keep in mind that the 14-inch MacBook Pro now starts at $1,699, whereas a configuration with 512GB of storage previously started at $1,599. Pro Display XDR Apple discontinued the Pro Display XDR this month after releasing the Studio Display XDR, which effectively replaces it. Released alongside the 2019 Mac Pro, the Pro Display XDR featured a 32-inch screen with LED backlighting, 6K resolution, a 60Hz refresh rate, P3 wide color, up to 1,600 nits of brightness, one Thunderbolt 3 port, and three USB-C ports. In the U.S., the monitor started at $4,999, but the optional Pro Stand cost $999 extra. The Studio Display XDR has a lot of superior features compared to the Pro Display XDR, including mini-LED backlighting, a 120Hz refresh rate, up to twice as much display brightness, speakers, a camera, Thunderbolt 5 support, and a lower $3,299 starting price that includes a stand. However, it has a smaller 27-inch screen. More Of course, Apple also discontinued previous-generation versions of the iPad Air, MacBook Air, and many other products this month, as we already listed.Related Roundups: Studio Display, Mac Studio, MacBook ProBuyer's Guide: Displays (Buy Now), Mac Studio (Caution), MacBook Pro (Buy Now), Mac Pro (Don't Buy)Related Forums: Mac Accessories, Mac Studio, MacBook Pro, Mac ProThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

iPhone 18 Pro's Smaller Dynamic Island Revealed
New images of an alleged iPhone 18 Pro prototype and screen protectors have emerged from multiple sources, adding weight to earlier reports that Apple plans to significantly shrink the Dynamic Island later this year. An X user called @earlyappleleaks recently shared an image purportedly showing a prototype ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ with a noticeably smaller ‌Dynamic Island‌. In the picture, the flashlight of another iPhone is held over the corner of the display, revealing a small circular punch-hole cutout under the display, which is presumably a relocated Face ID sensor. Moving TrueDepth camera components under the display would allow the ‌Dynamic Island‌ cutout itself to shrink considerably, and multiple earlier reports suggested ‌Face ID‌ will be the first component Apple plans to move beneath the screen. "Early Apple" is a relatively new account of unknown origin with no established track record, so the image should be taken with caution. iPhone 18 series bezel are the same as iPhone 17 and iPhone 16.But all three iPhone 18 reduce the width of Dynamic Island. pic.twitter.com/g50BKPPiws— Ice Universe (@UniverseIce) March 27, 2026 Separately, the leaker known as "Ice Universe," who has a decent track record for Apple leaks, shared an image of an alleged ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ screen protector showing dramatically smaller cutouts compared to the current design. The protector images appear to corroborate the alleged prototype photo, and similar images have since been proliferating across Chinese social media. The leaker known as "Majin Bu," citing the accumulating evidence, claims the ‌Dynamic Island‌ is set to shrink by as much as 35% compared to the iPhone 17 Pro. The fact that these accessories are starting to be produced suggests that manufacturers have a high level of confidence that the upcoming device will feature a smaller ‌Dynamic Island‌. Leaks about the iPhone 18 Pro have just appeared online, showing that the dynamic island has shrunk by 35% compared to previous models. pic.twitter.com/DFHbcig9sJ— Majin (@MajinBuofficia) March 29, 2026 There has been some disagreement among sources on the smaller ‌Dynamic Island‌, with some reports casting doubt on the rumors, but most of the evidence now appears to support the change. Ice Universe previously reported that the smaller ‌Dynamic Island‌ would be adopted across the full iPhone 18 lineup, not just the Pro models, while bezels on next-generation devices will apparently remain identical to those on the iPhone 17 series. Apple is expected to announce the ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ models alongside its first foldable iPhone this fall, with the standard ‌iPhone 18‌ arriving early next year as part of a new split-cycle launch strategy.Related Roundups: iPhone 18, iPhone 18 ProTags: Dynamic Island, Ice Universe, Majin BuRelated Forum: iPhoneThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
