A new evasive Mac malware strain is stealing crypto
A new type of Mac malware is masquerading as CleanMyMac or Photoshop cracks, and has been stealing data from browsers and pilfering cryptocurrency wallets. Here's how to stay safe.New Mac malware uses AppleScript to access browser data & crypto walletsAccording to MacPaw's Moonlock Lab, the malware often presents itself as legitimate apps. Once installed, it can use AppleScript to trick users into revealing their passwords, steal cookies from browsers like Chrome and Safari, and self-destruct if it detects that it is running on a virtual machine.The script starts by getting the current username from the system along with other essential system paths for later use.

Apple Watch buyers in the U.S. can check out the following stores: Apple Amazon Best Buy Costco Target Walmart If you’re based in the U.K., you can pick up an Apple Watch from the following retailers: Apple Amazon Argos Carphone Warehouse Currys John Lewis KRCS Very Apple Refurbished Store One of our favorite hunting grounds for a tasty iPad deal is the Apple Refurbished Store, where you’ll find iPads with huge discounts. These are items that have been returned, but in most respects you wouldn’t be able to tell. Apple replaces the battery and outer shell of every refurbished iPad, and you’ll still get all of the accessories and manuals that would come with a new model. Plus, you’ll also get the same one-year warranty as you would with a brand-new iPad. The only thing that gives the game away is the box: Apple replaces the original with a white box to prevent people from buying the discounted models and selling them as new. Apple Education Store Don’t forget students can get discounts on iPad devices as a part of Apple’s Education Discount. That concludes our guide to the best iPad deals available right now. But if you’re unsure of which model you should pick up, take a look at our in-depth iPad buying guide. iPad

This 25,000mAh Ugreen Power Bank is just nearly half-off right now
Macworld If you often find yourself frustrated by your iPhone’s lack of battery life, then you’ll love having this Ugreen Power Bank at your disposal. Now available for $84 at Amazon, this 25,000mAh power bank has a retail price of $150, which makes the current discount remarkable. Equipped with 145W fast charging, the Ugreen Power Bank features can deliver a rapid recharge to your devices. Even the mighty battery of a 13-inch MacBook Air can be filled fully in just 90 minutes with this power bank. The same Ugreen gadget will have your smartphone charged up in a blink. Since the Ugreeb Power Bank boasts a massive 25,000mAh battery capacity, you can completely recharge laptops up to 1.3 times and mobile devices up to 5.6 times. It’s the ideal solution for long trips, busy workdays, or any situation where you need reliable power without access to an outlet. I have this exact model, and I can say that it’s a bit heavy at 1.1 pounds, but since it holds that much power, that’s easily “forgiven.” Otherwise, it’s about the size of two smartphones on top of each other, which means it will easily fit in your bag. One of the coolest things about this power bank is that it itself can be charged super fast. So not only can it quickly charge your gadgets, but it can also recharge in about 2 hours, which is rather impressive for such a high capacity. There’s even a smart LED display on the side of the power bank where you can check out how much battery power there’s still left. There are three ports available–two USB-C and one USB-A–but only one, the “Out1” USB-C port, will deliver 100-plus watts. So go ahead and shell out $84 for the Ugreen Power Bank. If you’re not a Prime member just yet, you can always sign up for a free 30-day free trial. Get a 25,000mAh Ugreen Power Bank for $84See deal at Amazon Mobile Phone Chargers

Apple’s AI chatbot won’t be enabled unless you want it
Macworld With just a few days until Apple unveils its newest AI-infused operating system updates, a new report from Bloomberg sheds some light on the partnership Apple has struck with OpenAI—and how Apple plans on safeguarding users. Most notably, the AI features coming to the iPhone are described as an “opt-in service,” meaning users will be prompted to turn it on during setup, much like the “Improve Siri and Dictation” screen. According to Mark Gurman, “wary customers could easily steer clear of them if they’d prefer,” but will also let Apple limit the possibility of “reputational damage from a rogue chatbot.” Gurman says Apple “determined early on that OpenAI and Google were far ahead in chatbots and on-the-fly assistance” though the company is still working on its own competitor to ChatGPT using its in-house Ajax framework. In the meantime, Gurman says Apple “may offer a number of third-party chatbots, but it’s negotiating the deals on a case-by-case basis, according to the people with knowledge of the situation,” though it “believes that OpenAI’s technology is the best available on the market.” For now, it sounds like Siri and this new chatbot will be separate offerings, though it remains to be seen how it will all work. The report claims Apple will use its own AI “to power features like voice memo transcriptions and photo editing, as well as new search capabilities in the Safari web browser and auto-replies in apps like Messages.” Based on the report, it’s likely that these features get prominence over the OpenAI-powered chatbot. Apple will unveil its new AI feature in iOS 18 and macOS 15 during its WWDC keynote on Monday at 10 a.m.  iOS

Best Apple Studio Display deals
Macworld Apple’s Studio Display was released along with the Mac Studio in March 2022. While it’s seen as a display for that Mac, the Studio Display can work with any Mac. It’s a lot more affordable than Apple’s Pro Display XDR, and it’s really the only 27-inch 5K display on the market. If you’re in the market for a Studio Display, we can help you find a good deal. Our price trackers below show several retailers who are selling the Studio Display and the prices. Use these trackers to get the best deal. We also have the information you need to know about the Studio Display, in case you’re still trying to decide if it’s the monitor for you. Here’s everything you need to know about buying the new Studio Display. How much does the Apple Studio Display cost? The regular price for the Studio Display depends on two things: the type of glass and the type of stand. Here are the prices of each Studio Display configuration. ProductFront glassStand typePriceApple Studio Displaystandardtilt-only adjustable$1,599/£1,499Apple Studio DisplaystandardVESA wall mount adapter$1,599/£1,499Apple Studio Displaystandardtilt and height-adjustable$1,999/£1,899Apple Studio Displaynano-texturetilt-only adjustable$1,899/£1,749Apple Studio Displaynano-textureVESA wall mount adapter$1,899/£1,749Apple Studio Displaynano-texturetilt and height-adjustable$2,299/£2,149 In the box, you’ll get a 1-meter Thunderbolt cable, and the nano-texture displays include Apple’s Polishing Cloth. The power cable is attached to the monitor. The Studio Display is designed to work with the new Mac Studio, but it can work with other Macs. The Studio Display is designed to work with the new Mac Studio, but it can work with other Macs. The Studio Display is designed to work with the new Mac Studio, but it can work with other Macs. Best deals on the Apple Studio Display It’s rare to find deals on Apple displays, so if you’re shopping specifically for an Apple display and a deal pops up, it’s time to take advantage. Amazon U.S. is currently offering a few deals on the Apple Studio Display. You can save $150 or $300 dollars, which is significant when you consider that these displays almost never go on sale. Here are links to the deals: U.S.: Amazon, Apple Studio Display, tilt-adjustable: $1,250 ($249 off, MSRP $1,599) ​​​​​​​In the U.K. Currys, Apple Studio Display 27-inch 5K Standard Glass: £1,469 (£30 off) New Refurbished Retailer Price $1,499 View Deal $1499 View Deal $1499.99 View Deal $1599 View Deal $1599 View Deal $1599 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide View more prices Product Price Apple 27-inch Monitor 5120 x 1440 LCD (Studio Display) $1287 View Deal Apple 27-inch Monitor 5120 x 1440 LCD (Studio Display) $1287 View Deal Apple 27-inch Monitor 5120 x 1440 LED (MK0U3LL/A) $1456.42 View Deal $1609 View Deal $1949 View Deal Price comparison from Backmarket View more prices What else will I need to buy? Potentially, nothing. The Studio Display has three USB-C ports in the back and one Thunderbolt, so it can easily be connected to your existing accessories. While you will find Apple’s A13 Bionic chip under the hood of the Studio Display, this is mainly used for the audio and video features. There’s also no RAM, storage or operating system built-in, even if it’s designed to work with macOS. You can technically use the display with any PC or laptop. What are the glass options? The front of the Studio Display is covered in glass, and Apple offers two kinds: Standard and Nano-texture. The Nano-texture glass is a lot less reflective than the Standard glass. If you’re sensitive to glare, or you do production work where lighting is critical, opt for the Nano-texture–but this option adds to the price of the display. What are the stand options? Apple offers three types of stands for the Studio Display: Tilt-adjustable stand: Allows for only the adjustment of the display’s tilt. This comes standard with the Studio Display. Tilt- and height-adjustable stand: Can adjust the tilt and height. This stand costs extra. VESA mount adapter: Used to attach to a VESA-compatible arm, wall mount, or stand. Comes at no additional cost. Deals for the best monitors and displays for Mac These displays and monitors are featured in our test of the best monitors for Mac. If you see a deal on one of these we recommend that you buy it. You may also like to browse Amazon’s dedicated pages for display discounts.

Best iMac deals this month
Macworld Finally, 30 months after Apple announced the 24-inch iMac in a collection of seven different colors and powered by Apple’s M1 Chip in April 2021, Apple has updated the iMac with an M3 chip. The 2023 iMac, which was announced in October 2023 and went on sale in November, is a leap up from the 2021 iMac, although not much else has changed. Read about the 2023 iMac and our review of the 2023 M3 iMac. Apple discontinued the 27-inch iMac in March 2022, but it is rumored that a new iMac Pro could be in the pipeline. If that is the Mac you are interested in you may be in for a long wait though, with the larger iMac not expected until late 2024 or 2025. Alternatively, you may be interested in Apple’s high-power desktop, the Mac Studio, see our Best Mac Studio deals. The Mac mini with M2 Pro is another good option, see Best Mac mini deals. With the arrival of the M3 iMac the M1 iMac will no longer be sold by Apple, but you may find those older models available at a discount from resellers while they try to sell off old stock. Note that while the prices remain the same, the M1 iMac did have a price increase outside the U.S. a year after launch, so the savings may not be as good as they appear to be. Not that you need to pay full price. The team here at Macworld is constantly looking out for the best iMac deals from around the web.

View Deal Price comparison from Backmarket View more prices Where to buy an iMac You can buy an iMac directly from Apple in the US or at Apple UK, but there are plenty of stores and Apple Premium Resellers around the world that offer discounts on new and old Macs. Some Mac retailers offer great discounts on Apple products and Apple accessories, so you should be able to save a few hundred pounds off some iMac configurations. Beware, though. The Mac listed by the reseller may be an older model than the one Apple currently sells. We’ve seen resellers advertising Macs with money off based on the price they were previously sold at by Apple, even after Apple has started selling a newer Mac at the same price – so the deal often looks better than it actually is. So be careful to check the age and spec of the machine being sold, and don’t automatically assume that it’s current. To get an idea of what the old model should be worth, take a look at Apple’s refurbished store to see what Apple is selling the older version for (and remember that buying from Apple, even if it’s refurbished, will mean you get a full year’s warranty). And for another way to save money on a new Apple product read about how you can trade in old products at Apple and other resellers and get money off.

Best refurbished iMac deals One of the best places to look for iMac deals all year round is the Apple Refurbished Store. There, you’ll find huge iMac discounts, sometimes even on the latest models. These iMacs have been returned to Apple for various reasons, and then completely revamped for resale. One of the major benefits of buying a refurbished Mac from Apple is that it will come with a one-year warranty so Apple may fix or replace it for free should anything happen to it in that first year. You won’t be able to tell the difference between a refurbished iMac and a brand-new iMac, aside from the box it comes in, which is white to prevent people from buying them and attempting to sell them as new.
