Macworld Jamf Threat Labs has posted a report on new malware that attacks macOS. The malware installer presents itself as a Zoom installer that actually installs the app, but it also installs an infostealer dubbed CloudSyncD that works in the background to capture data and send it to the attacker. The installation is presented as an app icon that is dragged to the macOS Applications folder, a common method of installation. However, because the malware lacks the proper signatures, macOSs Gatekeep

Macworld Apples HomePod lineup could be about to undergo its biggest expansion since the original HomePod launched. Rather than simply refreshing its existing smart speakers, Apple is reportedly preparing several new smart home devices, including products that blur the line between HomePod, smart display and home hub. The company is said to have three smart home products very nearly ready to release, according to Bloombergs Mark Gurman. However, Apple is reportedly delaying their launch until it

Macworld Earlier this week, we reported on a couple of fairly widespread bugs that were affecting early iPhone 18 Pro users. Now it seems as though both bugs are related to the same issue and a fix is on the way. According to 9to5Mac , Apple is preparing to issue a software update early next week, likely iOS 27.0.1 , to address the issue. According to numerous reports, Apples Face ID system has been glitchy on the new phones, failing to authenticate when unlocking and paying with Apple Pay, and

Macworld The Mac operating system has been around for over 42 years, and its seen a lot of changes. Theres one aspect of the user interface that has changed a lot: the buttons that appear on screen. Button changes usually accompany major graphical overhauls, so theyre easy to overlook. Now theres a website that has collected them all in a neat interactive gallery. At mac-buttons-timeline.vercel.app , the different button styles can be viewed by scrolling along a Time Machine-esque timeline. Turn

Macworld Youre not going to want to believe this. It doesnt feel like it should be true. But it is: The A20 Pro in the iPhone 18 Pro is legitimately faster than a standard M4 as found in the recent Mac mini, or current iMac. Thats right. Faster. And not just sort of faster in just this one test when you run in one specific way. Faster overall. Faster generally . Yes, of course there are caveats, and well get to those. But as defensible claim, we can say that Apples advancements in chip design an

Macworld When reviewing the Apple Watch Series 11 last year, I found the battery performance across multiple complete power drain tests to be nothing less than superb. In fact, thats the exact word I used. Last year, Apple bumped up the estimated life to 24 hours (after holding steady at 18 hours for the previous 10 generations), and our testing more than justified this ambitious claim. In fact, real-world performance seemed roughly double that: In one test, the Series 11 lasted for 46 hours, an

Macworld The good news about the new Mac mini is that it offers very good CPU and GPU performance, whether its the M6 or M5 Pro model. But there is some bad news under the hood: Apple has returned to using soldered-on SSDs, which means owners cant upgrade the storage themselves. Expand Mac mini took apart the M6 and M5 Pro Mac mini and found the soldered SSD. Its an unexpected turn, since the previous M4 and M4 Pro Mac mini switched to an SSD design that was implemented as a removable module . A
