Macworld If you’re an avid Apple Pencil user, then you’re going to love hearing that the Apple Pencil Tips 4-pack is now on sale for just $12, down from the usual $19, the best price we’ve seen for this essential accessory. Whether you use the Apple Pencil extensively for sketching intricate designs, jotting down notes, or editing photos, these pencil tips will definitely come in handy sooner rather than later. Compatible with the Apple Pencil 1st and 2nd gen, as well as the Apple Pencil USB-C and Apple Pencil Pro, this 4-pack ensures you always have extra tips at the ready no matter which stylus you have. While it’s true that Apple Pencil nibs don’t have a set lifespan, they do wear down if you use them daily for hours. Also, if you’re drawing, thus applying more pressure at times, they’ll wear out faster than if you only use the Apple Pencil mainly for writing. And sometimes, you simply lose one of them. At one point or another, you’ll notice the iPad is no longer as responsive to your Apple Pencil. Or, even worse, you’ll see the wear yourself, perhaps even revealing the metal underneath. Rather than waiting for that moment to come and then scrambling for replacement nibs, it’s best to get this discounted four-pack right now and keep it on hand.

Macworld Get ready to jazz up your iMessages. According to a MacRumors story citing “multiple sources familiar with the matter,” iOS 18 is going to take the fun text effects a step further by allowing you to add text effects to individual words within the message. It is not clear if these will be the same text effects currently available to entire messages, entirely new ones (like bold or italics), or something else entirely. You can already add a handful of fun effects to your iMessages. There are full-screen effects like balloons, lasers, and confetti, or text effects like slam or invisible ink. Those text effects apply to your entire message, though. Messages in iOS 18 is expected to get quite an upgrade with RCS support allowing for much better communication with Android phones, AI-powered autocomplete features, and maybe even custom AI-generated emojis. It’s not clear if these text effects will apply only to iMessages or will work with RCS messages as well, but Apple is incentivized to continue making iMessage a more full-featured and desirable alternative to the “green bubbles,” even if Android users can send messages that are more advanced that the current SMS ones. We’ll learn about all the changes coming to Messages in iOS 18 and macOS 15 at WWDC in June. iOS05:26 pmExpect Settings revamp in iOS 18, iPadOS 18 and macOS 15

Macworld Last week, we heard about the tweaks that Apple will make to System Settings in macOS 15. In case you’re wondering if the changes are really going to happen, a quick X post late on Thursday by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman backed up the initial report by AppleInsider. However, while AppleIsider’s report focused on macOS 15, Gurman’s post refers to the upcoming iOS 18, as well. Gurman states that Settings is “getting a new UI with a reorganized, cleaner layout that’s more simple to navigate. It also has much-improved search.” Gurman’s post makes it sound as if Apple is doing more to unify the look of Settings between macOS and iOS, which was the original idea when Apple introduced the changes from System Preferences to System Settings in macOS Ventura. According to AppleInsider, System Settings in macOS 15 will have sections in the left column reorganized so that it’s easier to find settings that are more frequently accessed. Also, some settings will be consolidated into other settings, such as Wallpaper. Gurman’s post makes it sound as if somewhat more drastic changes could be in store. A lot of people using macOS 15 and iOS 18 keep mentioning the revamp to Settings. Obviously not a huge deal, but it’s getting a new UI with a reorganized, cleaner layout that’s more simple to navigate. It also has much improved search. There are also updates to Control Center.— Mark Gurman (@markgurman) May 31, 2024 Gurman also notes that Control Center is getting updates, but no specifics are provided, nor has any other outlet reported on the new Control Center. (Hey Apple, how about letting third-party apps access Control Center? That’d be cool!) Gurman publishes his Power On newsletter every Sunday, so perhaps he will provide more details then. Apple is expected to reveal the new features for iOS 18 and macOS 15 at WWDC24, which will have its keynote address on June 10. The conference is expected to have an AI focus, demonstrating features that use AI.
