The challenge with HomeKit Secure Video is that the manufacturer sees no option for recurring revenue, so I suspect that might be part of the holdup for many new cameras (on top of the lack of new features). When Aqara originally released the Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro with HomeKit Secure Video support back in 2025, it ended a long drought. I have had one outside for over a year now, and if you have a porch area, this is a great outdoor camera. more…08:47 pmApple shares iPhone and Mac post-quantum cryptography code on GitHub

The latest "leak" from someone impersonating a now-defunct leaker appears to be nothing more than painted lens covers, especially considering the modern iPhone design has a unibody case.iPhone 17 Pro Max has a unibody rear case. Note the design of the plateau here.Majin Bu was once a prominent Apple leaker who had some accurate leaks. After attempting to sell cases for an unreleased iPhone, the leaker disappeared, and a copycat has risen in its stead.It still isn't clear to me why anyone is covering the clearly fake account, but 9to5Mac shared the latest post about iPhone colors. The publication did call out the potential of the account being fake, but it did serve the post as possible thanks to corroborating previous color rumors.

As OpenAI prepares an IPO, information suggests it is bleeding money. Apple, on the other hand, continues to benefit from AI without all of the spend.Jony Ive & Sam Altman | Image Credit: OpenAIIf you didn't predict it already, you could sense that AI was past its sell-by date when you watched the 2026 Google I/O conference. Half the hyped new technologies seemed worthless or at best old hat, and half were yet again preposterous exaggerations about saving the human race from something or other.What never changes is that AI is both said to be this staggering technology right now and, if you press a little, to well, no, it isn't, but it's going to be someday. You just have to believe, and to spend money. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums07:07 pmThe iPhone 18 Pro clear case may lose its big, ugly white rectangle
Macworld While Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro redesign was met with rave reviews, its clear case was not well-received. Unlike all the companies’ previous models, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max clear cases featured a large white rectangle on the back, covering the entire lower 2/3rds of the phone. In fact, it covers most of the actual colored part of your shiny new Cosmic Orange phone. Previous clear cases, as well as the regular iPhone 17 clear case, have a simple design with a semi-circle for the MagSafe puck and a line where the MagSafe magnets should line up. Now, Chinese social media sites are circulating images of what are claimed to be Apple’s official clear cases for the upcoming iPhone 18 line. You can see the Pro and Pro Max cases are once again similar to the standard iPhone case, with a semicircle and line covering the MagSafe magnets, while the rest of the case remains clear. Majin on X Honestly, we don’t know what Apple was thinking, making a clear case where most of the part you really care about being clear is covered by a big white rectangle, but it’s good to see that the cases may be returning to normal.06:48 pmMike Judge, Ben Stiller team for Apple TV comedy series ‘Protective Custody’

Macworld Ugreen MagFlow Air 10K 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; }); })(); Keeping an iPhone charged during long commutes or international travel usually means carrying a bulky, heavy battery pack. The newly released Ugreen MagFlow Air 10K magnetic power bank solves this problem without weighing you down, and it is already on sale for $60. That’s a $20 discount from its standard $80 price tag. This super-slim device is an ideal upgrade for iPhone users everywhere, no matter how frequently you travel, whether you commute every day or not. It’s a reliable power source for any and all situations. And we know this because we reviewed it, and in our lab testing, it delivered record-setting iPhone recharge performance. So it looks good and performs great. Not only is this power bank efficient in its Qi2 15W wireless charging job, but it also has great capacity. Its 10,000mAh is enough to recharge an iPhone 16 Pro twice over (and about 10 percent on the third charge), as our testing revealed. Beyond the wireless charging job it provides, the power bank also comes with a built-in 30W USB-C cable that also doubles as a carrying strap. Since there’s also another USB-C port available, you can actually charge multiple devices at once. Finding a notable discount on a newly launched power bank that we already scored with 4.5 stars and our Editors’ Choice award feels like winning the lottery, so go grab one for $60.06:10 pmAirPods with cameras suddenly make a lot more sense after this new reveal
