Macworld TL;DR: Get a 10TB Internxt Cloud Storage Lifetime Subscription for $360.

You can reach your files from macOS, iOS, Windows, Linux, or a browser, across as many devices as you want.

OpenAI Delays Next Major AI Model
OpenAI today said it is pausing activities involving its upcoming AI model Astra, because its cyber capabilities are potentially too dangerous. OpenAI says its newest internal evaluations show significant advancements in agentic coding and cybersecurity, and it cannot rule out critical cyber capabilities. Prior OpenAI models, including GPT5.6 Sol, were labeled as High. Astra triggers stricter guidelines in OpenAI's Preparedness Framework . The guidelines call for caution when developing frontier AI capabilities that create risks of severe harm, and the cybersecurity portion of the framework says OpenAI will implement extra safeguards for models that create new risks of scaled cyberattacks and vulnerability exploitation. The Critical threshold Astra may have hit is defined by an ability to identify and develop functional zero-day exploits of all severity levels in many hardened real-world critical systems without human intervention, or devise and execute end-to-end novel strategies for cyberattacks. OpenAI says it is increasing its safeguards and security controls before deploying Astra, including limiting work on the model until new safeguards are in place. The company plans to use isolated testing environments with restricted network and tool access, along with adding sandboxed execution and more monitoring capabilities. OpenAI says it will work with relevant government agencies and AI safety organizations to test Astra. We're committed to working alongside governments, safety institutes, and civil society to ensure that the frontier capabilities of models like Astra, and those that follow, are deployed responsibly and broadly for the benefit of all humanity, writes OpenAI. Astra wasn't formally announced, but OpenAI shared details on its next major model in a recent post outlining its mathematical advancements. Astra solved 10 open problems in math and theoretical computer science for around $2,000 (in Sol API rates). Advancements in AI are changing cybersecurity for major tech companies like Apple by unearthing an unprecedented number of bugs. Apple recently limited its bug bounty program submissions because it is having trouble handling the volume. Models like Claude Mythos are able to suss out critical vulnerabilities, and Apple is one of Anthropic's Mythos partners. Mythos is limited to select companies because in addition to finding vulnerabilities, it has the potential to exploit them. OpenAI made headlines in July because GPT5.6 Sol and a more capable pre-release model (not Astra) autonomously hacked Hugging Face during internal benchmark testing. Anthropic found Claude had done something similar . Meta this week said it too had an AI model hack another company during a cybersecurity evaluation.

Apple Rumored to Launch Three New
According to various reports from sources such as Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman and Macworld 's Filipe Espsito , Apple is planning to release up to three new products with Ultra branding between late 2026 and early 2027. The long-rumored foldable iPhone is expected to be called the iPhone Ultra. Rumored features include a 7.7-inch inner display, a 5.3-inch outer display, two rear cameras, one front camera, a Touch ID power button instead of Face ID, and more. The device's large inner screen will be ideal for watching videos and multitasking. Apple is expected to release the iPhone Ultra this September, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. In the U.S., it has been estimated that the device will have a starting price of anywhere from $1,999 to $2,499. AirPods Ultra are reportedly set to be released as early as this year it would be fitting for them to be unveiled alongside the iPhone Ultra this September. AirPods Ultra are essentially rumored to be AirPods Pro with tiny infrared cameras that serve as eyes for Siri. The cameras will help to enhance the Visual Intelligence feature on the iPhone 15 Pro and newer, and a small LED light on the earbuds will indicate when the cameras are active, according to Gurman's reporting. On iOS 27, Visual Intelligence is accessible through the Camera app via a new Siri mode. AirPods Ultra would provide a more hands-free experience. The idea is to let users ask questions about an item they might be looking at, he said. If someone is looking at ingredients on their kitchen countertop, for example, they could ask Siri for dinner ideas. Last month, Apple's code for the second iOS 27 developer beta seemingly hinted at AirPods with cameras , so a launch could be fast approaching. Finally, Apple is reportedly planning a MacBook Ultra with an OLED display that doubles as a touch screen. Other rumored features include M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, a Dynamic Island, a thinner design compared to the latest MacBook Pro models, and potentially even an Apple-designed C2 modem for built-in 5G/LTE cellular connectivity. Apple plans to release this new MacBook by early 2027, according to Gurman. All in all, Apple is expected to release an iPhone Ultra, AirPods Ultra, and a MacBook Ultra over the course of the next six to seven months or so.

Spain vs Italy: NATO Allies Face Off as Europes Migration Crisis Deepens
Spain has demanded that Italy remove temporary checks on travellers arriving from Spanish territory by Sunday, warning that it will otherwise adopt proportionate measures. Madrid calls the restrictions discriminatory and argues that migrants who entered Ceuta did not receive unrestricted access to mainland Spain or the wider Schengen area. Giorgia Melonis government maintains that the unprecedented influx justifies safeguards against onward movement. Spain has not specified whether its response could include reciprocal checks on Italian travellers. Watch.

The MacRumors Show: iPhone Air 2 - What Changes After a Difficult First Year
The iPhone Air reaches one year on sale next month, and Apple is now closer to launching its successor than it is to the original's debut. On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show , we discuss what's next for the device. Subscribe to The MacRumors Show YouTube channel for more videos The first-generation model has had a difficult run. A KeyBanc Capital Markets survey found virtually no demand for the device within weeks of its September 2025 launch, supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported that suppliers were asked to cut capacity by more than 80% between launch and early 2026, and Luxshare and Foxconn both wound down production, leaving the phone believed to be entirely out of manufacture. Apple discounted it heavily in March, and SellCell data put its ten-week depreciation at 44.3% on average, against 34.6% for the iPhone 17 series. The Weibo leaker known as Digital Chat Station said in May that the device had barely surpassed 700,000 activations even after multiple rounds of price cuts. A single rear camera left a $999 phone looking less capable than the cheaper iPhone 17, which has two, and the absence of the iPhone 17 Pro 's vapor chamber cooling means the Air runs warmer under load. It also lacks stereo speakers. Battery life falls short of a full day for many users, mitigated in part by the dedicated MagSafe battery accessory Apple sells alongside it. With the iPhone 17 Pro starting at $1,099, the Air occupies a $100 gap that gave buyers little reason to stop there. Almost every change rumored for the second-generation model targets one of those points. Bloomberg reported in June that Apple will add an Ultra Wide lens alongside the existing 48-megapixel Fusion camera, and that the dual-lens design has reached advanced testing with the same exterior as the current model save for the extra lens. Almost everything other than the battery sits inside the iPhone Air's camera plateau, and Apple has reportedly asked suppliers for an ultra-thin Face ID module to free up space. The company also plans to adopt Samsung's CoE display technology, which is thinner and brighter than the current panel and debuts first on the foldable iPhone. Digital Chat Station expects a 3,500mAh battery , up from 3,149mAh, and The Information reported that Apple wants the device to be lighter and to gain vapor chamber cooling despite the added hardware. The device will also likely feature the A20 Pro chip, binned in some form like its predecessor, along with Apple's second-generation N2 wireless networking chip, the C2 modem, and 12GB of RAM, unchanged from the current model. Externally, little is expected to change beyond the additional rear camera, but Pu expects a slightly smaller Dynamic Island , in line with the wider iPhone 18 lineup. A lavender color option could replace Sky Blue. Pricing is the biggest open question. The Information reported that Apple is considering a lower price for the second model, but the surrounding lineup is moving too. Pu expects the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max to cost $250 to $300 more than the current Pro models owing to 2nm silicon and memory costs, and the foldable iPhone is rumored to start somewhere between roughly $2,000 and $2,500 . A widened gap between the Air and the Pro tier could change the calculation that undermined the original, particularly once the camera disparity with the standard iPhone disappears. The leaker Fixed Focus Digital claimed in April that Apple will push through at least two generations of the device no matter how poorly it sells, a position consistent with Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman , who expects the Air 2 in spring 2027 alongside the standard iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e . Nikkei Asia reported in January that no second-generation Air was expected before 2027 at the earliest. Apple's confidence in the fall lineup appears to be growing in the meantime. The company reportedly told suppliers to prepare roughly 10 million foldable iPhones this year, up from an earlier forecast of seven to eight million, and has booked parts for around 80 million smartphones in the second half of 2026. Samsung, meanwhile, says the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra, and Z Flip 8 drew 1.44 million pre-orders in South Korea across seven days, a company record, with the redesigned Z Fold 8 accounting for close to half of them. The iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and foldable iPhone are expected in September, and Apple has already begun preparing for the event , opening a lottery for U.S. retail employees to staff it.

Apple Flags Discovery Delays in Its Lawsuit Against Jon Prosser
Apple has told a federal court that it hasn't heard from Jon Prosser 's legal team in a month, as discovery drags on in its trade secret lawsuit against the leaker. In a joint status report filed on Wednesday in the Northern District of California, Apple's attorneys said they had made repeated attempts to reach Prosser's counsel about outstanding discovery issues without success. From the filing: Apple and Mr. Prosser have worked to advance this case through limited discovery. Mr. Prosser provided documents and communications to Apple, and sat for a deposition on June 16, 2026. Unfortunately, Apple last heard from Mr. Prosser's counsel on July 6th, 2026, despite repeated attempts to communicate and follow up on outstanding discovery issues. There still appear to be deficiencies in Mr. Prosser's productions, and Apple has notified Mr. Prosser's counsel of those issues. Shortly before the report was filed, Prosser's attorney told Apple's legal team that the delay likely stems from Prosser welcoming his second child and attending to the newborn's care. The attorney indicated he would find dates for Prosser to provide the remaining discovery materials. Co-defendant Michael Ramacciotti, who Apple says accessed the confidential device at the center of the case, has continued cooperating throughout the case. He agreed to supplement his interrogatory responses and sit for a second deposition. Apple sued Prosser and Ramacciotti in July 2025, accusing them of misappropriating trade secrets tied to then-unreleased iOS 26 software, including the Liquid Glass redesign, by accessing a development iPhone belonging to Apple engineer Ethan Lipnik. Ramacciotti cooperated with the case from the outset, but Prosser initially missed several deadlines to respond, leading the court to enter a default against him in October 2025 that barred him from contesting Apple's allegations. Prosser's attorney successfully petitioned to have that default set aside in June 2026, and Prosser filed a formal answer in the case on July 2. In it, he admitted joining a FaceTime call in which Ramacciotti showed him unreleased iOS features running on the development device, but denied that what he saw constituted trade secrets and denied knowing the device belonged to Lipnik. Apple is seeking damages as well as a permanent injunction barring Prosser from disclosing its trade secrets again. Such an order could stop him from covering unreleased Apple products at all, which forms a significant part of his YouTube channel. Ramacciotti's second deposition is set for September, and all three parties expect to file another status update with the court on October 7.

Apple Captures 65% of Global Premium Smartphone Market
Apple captured 65% of the global premium smartphone market in the first half of 2026, as the wider premium segment's share of overall smartphone sales climbed to a record 29%. That's according to Counterpoint Research's Handset Model Sales Tracker , which tracks smartphones with a wholesale average selling price of $600 or more. Apple's premium segment revenue grew 9% year-over-year in the first half of 2026, which Counterpoint attributed to strong sales of the iPhone 17 lineup, particularly the base model. Even with that growth, Apple's share of the premium segment has slipped from 74% in the first half of 2022. Counterpoint pins the decline on intensifying competition in China, the largest premium smartphone market, where Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, and vivo have all sharpened their flagship offerings, pulling more Chinese consumers toward domestic premium brands. Across the broader premium segment, unit sales grew 5% year-over-year in the first half of 2026, with the segment's overall market share up from 25% in the first half of 2025 and 20% in the first half of 2022. Counterpoint says the latest gains stem largely from rising memory and component costs, which have hit low- and mid-tier phones harder than flagship models. Premium brands, including Apple, were better positioned to absorb the higher costs through wider margins and fewer promotions, helping sustain demand even as the broader market grew more challenging. The share gains between the first half of 2022 and the first half of 2025, by contrast, were driven mainly by a broader premiumization trend as consumers traded up to higher-end devices. Counterpoint Research said the narrowing price gap between mid-tier and premium phones is accelerating that shift, making flagship devices, including older or discounted iPhones, a more attractive upgrade for consumers: As mid-segment Android smartphone prices rise, the price gap with premium devices, especially older or discounted flagship models, is narrowing. This trend makes flagship smartphones a better upgrade option for consumers. To support this shift, OEMs are expanding financing, trade-in and buyback programs to improve affordability. Samsung has also expanded its Galaxy Forever program to several markets to make flagship devices more accessible. Samsung remains the only other brand in Apple's league, holding 19% of the premium segment after 3% year-over-year growth, despite a later launch for the Galaxy S26 series. Behind the two leaders, Chinese brands showed the sharpest growth off a much smaller base: OPPO grew 69% on the strength of its Find X9 series, while vivo grew 20% as the X300 series outperformed its predecessor.

Apple Account Card Expands Again: What It Is and What It Isn
Apple this week expanded support for its Apple Account Card in the Wallet app to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Malta. The Apple Account Card option for Wallet started rolling out in 2022 , and Apple has been gradually expanding the feature to more countries since then. What is the Apple Account Card? So what is it, exactly? The card displays the balance associated with a user's Apple Account (formerly Apple ID), and it can be used to make purchases in any brick-and-mortar Apple Store and online at Apple.com. It can also be used to buy apps in the App Store, as well as subscriptions and other Apple services. It's also where the credit goes if you use it to redeem an Apple Gift Card. An Apple Account Card can also be topped up using a linked debit or credit card (via the Add Money option in Wallet). It's NOT an Apple Credit Card Note that an Apple Account Card is different from Apple Card, the latter of which is a straightforward digital and physical credit card for making financial transactions at contactless payment terminals (via Apple Pay), as well as in stores, restaurants, and other locations where Apple Pay isn't yet accepted. Comparatively, an Apple Account Card is a digital-only card for money available in your Apple Account balance. There's no credit line, no interest, and no rewards attached. Neither is there a physical version of the Apple Account Card. You can't send money to a friend with it, and the balance isn't something you can cash out. Apple Account Card Supported Regions As well as the regions mentioned at the start of this article, Apple Account Cards are supported in the following countries : Australia Austria Belgium Canada Czechia Denmark Finland Hong Kong Ireland Italy Japan Luxembourg Mexico Norway Poland Portugal Spain Sweden Switzerland the UK U.S. United Arab Emirates One thing to note: Paying in person at an Apple Store with an Apple Account Card (by double-clicking the side button and holding your iPhone to the reader) isn't available in every country or region , and neither are all of the card's other features. Apple hasn't yet said whether the four new regions that it most recently expanded to will get the full range of usage options. Add an Apple Account Card to Wallet To add an Apple Account Card to your iPhone's Wallet app, open Wallet, tap the plus ( + ) button, then tap Add Apple Account . Tap Continue , then give it a few moments while it's linked to your Apple Account. Once it's in your Wallet, your balance and any recent transactions will appear below the card.

I trained Siri AI to answer my messages. It actually worked
Macworld iOS 27 finally delivers Siri AI a highly capable chatbot with access to world knowledge, personal data, and live web results. Its system-level agentic privileges, paired with its smarts, turn it into an unrivaled tool that can understand and interact with on-screen content across iPhone apps. This helps you execute complex everyday tasks by using just your voice. Messaging is one of the most common smartphone use cases, and it can feel tiresome at times. Our iPhones buzz whenever we receive a text, which can include long rants, random 2 AM questions, super important updates, and more. To make my life a tad easier, I leveraged the overhauled chatbots power and used Shortcuts to make it respond to certain iMessages. Siri AI has entered the chat. Getting started To replicate the experiences Im breaking down below, youll need an iPhone 15 Pro or a newer model running iOS 27 (currently in beta) with Siri AI enabled. The first, more practical method works on demand inside chats youre viewing in real time. The automatic mode, on the other hand, can run in the background and autonomously respond to assigned contacts whenever they text you. While the latter mode can be fun to play around with, I advise you not to keep it enabled at all times. As artificial intelligence and its generated slop take over social media and other digital spaces, maintaining the humanness of online interactions has become more challenging than ever. You probably wouldnt want a robot to reply to you when texting your friends, and neither would most people. Manual mode Manually having Siri AI reply to specific conversations doesnt require any setup beyond enabling the chatbot itself. The feature works across first- and third-party messaging apps, allowing you to generate contextual replies in any text box. For example, a friend asked me for Apple Arcade game recommendations, but I havent been playing any lately. I clarified that, then proceeded to ask Siri to answer his question. The AI assistant automatically scoured the web and composed a message highlighting some of the popular titles. It even allows you to view its source(s) to ensure its credibility before hitting send. Through this basic, intuitive integration, I was able to help a friend out without leaving the chat. Foundry Siri AIs usefulness in chats can go even further. I sent a paragraph copied from an article highlighting an iCloud+ price hike in several countries. My friend inquired about the new pricing, so I asked Siri to answer his question. The chatbot took into account that my friend is based in Trkiye (visible in the chat through the Find My tile), and listed the pricing for this particular country. It understoodwithout my explicit instructionthat this is the particular information my friend is likely interested in and searched the web for results accordingly. This deep understanding of the context and contacts available data, alongside its ability to browse the web, transforms Siri AI into a genuinely helpful assistant when conversing with others. In the past, such workflows would require jumping between multiple apps and manually hunting for results. Thats no longer necessary. Foundry I now often find myself hitting the keyboards Write with Siri button (the successor to Writing Tools)not because I need assistance with typing, but because it can provide the needed information from indexed on-device content and the web. I tend to extract the generated details and reword my responses afterwards to maintain my texting tone and style. Foundry Auto answers If a contact regularly spams you on iMessage while youre busy tending to other life matters, Siri AI can fully take over the chat and respond on your behalf. Launch the built-in Apple Shortcuts app, which now supports generating shortcuts using natural language. Create a new shortcut by inserting this prompt: When [contact name] texts me, analyze their message, generate a suitable reply, and send it to them automatically. This will create an automation that fetches the contents of incoming texts, privately feeds it to Apples cloud-based AI models to come up with an appropriate response, and finally relays it to the selected recipient. Foundry Unlike the manual mode, the Shortcuts automation works best in iMessage and may not be supported in most third-party instant-messaging apps. Whenever the automation runs, youll receive a notification alerting you about the automated reply, which, by default, you cant review in advance. So, unless you actively visit and read the developing conversation, Siri could be sending the contact all sorts of nonsense AI hallucinations. Worry not, however; the automation, unlike the manual mode, bases its replies on world knowledge and public information. While stress-testing it, I was unable to force Siri AI to leak my sensitive details by having someone ask me personal questions. The practical path I had a lot of fun watching Siri AI automatically come up with all sorts of wacky replies and send them to one of my close friendsbut once my tests concluded, I deleted the automation altogether. Its certainly a cool way to demonstrate how far the virtual assistant has come and how iOS now caters to power users by supporting advanced automations and tools. You wouldnt, however, want the AI chatbot to continuously send your contacts texts without confirmation. Conversely, manually having Siri AI assist with responding when receiving particular questions has become an indispensable part of my workflow. It selectively uses AI to fetch the needed informationwithout turning the conversation into a monotonous wall of text full of em dashes. It also works in texting apps beyond Apple Messages, making it the more practical method. Once iOS 27 rolls out to the public, I see this integration revolutionizing how people text by sparing them from time-consuming tasks, like browsing the web and digging through local files to find answers. Siri AI did not contribute to this story.
