Happy touch your Mac day! Apple's new PROLED MacBook Pro is now in the hands of customers. We picked up one of the new machines to get our greasy fingerprints all over that pristine OLED display. Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos. It's been five years since Apple last redesigned the MacBook Pro, so it was due for an update. The PROLED MacBook Pro looks a lot like the mini-LED model, but it's thinner and lighter. The 14-inch model is about half a millimeter thinner and weighs just over three pounds, while the 16-inch model is almost a millimeter thinner and weighs four pounds. Apple shaved off about half a pound for the 14-inch model and 0.7 pounds for the 16-inch model, and while that doesn't sound like much, it makes a big difference. You can feel how much lighter it is the second you take it out of the box. Apple brought back the glowing logo for the PROLED MacBook Pro, so everyone around you will know you have the fancy new OLED model. The OLED display is the major new feature, and it looks as good as you would expect from a display in a laptop starting at $2,899. Blacks are true black, and since each pixel lights up individually, there's none of the bloom you get with mini-LED when viewing bright objects on a dark background. The PROLED MacBook Pro can get super bright too, and that brightness paired with the deep blacks, HDR content looks great. OLED sometimes isn't bright enough outdoors, but that's not the case here. The display bezels are thinner, and the 16-inch machine is actually 16.3 inches instead of 16.2. There's also an iPhone-like Dynamic Island that replaces the notch and houses Siri AI, Live Activities, and more. The Dynamic Island makes sense because you can now touch the MacBook Pro's display. It works like touching an iPhone or iPad , so you can swipe through webpages, tap buttons, drag and drop, and pinch to zoom. Touch isn't meant to replace the trackpad and keyboard, but it's there if you want it. Apple made some tweaks to macOS, so menu options expand a little more when you touch them than when you click them, and tiny window resizing buttons get larger. Apple put a sturdier hinge in the PROLED MacBook Pro so the display won't move as much when you tap it, but it's not perfect. It does still jiggle depending on where you tap. The touch feature is fine, but it's probably not a reason to go out and get the PROLED MacBook Pro. It has the potential to be useful in some situations, but it's not going to dramatically change the way most people use a laptop. New chips weren't ready in time for the PROLED machines, so they use the same M5 Pro and M5 Max as the mini-LED models. That's a disappointment in a laptop that starts at almost $3,000. Since Apple is still selling the mini-LED models, you're basically paying a $400 premium for the higher-end OLED display, the thinner and lighter design, and the touch functionality. The better display and the lighter weight are going to be worth the price for some people, and the touch is just a bonus.

More Fun iPhone Duo Apps: 30 New Picks to Try
When the iPhone Duo launched, we shared a list of some of the fun apps developers created for the new form factor. Two weeks out, developers are continuing to come up with fresh ideas, so we thought we'd share some of our favorites. Games Marbles Unhinged ($2.99) - Marbles Unhinged is a marble maze designed for the Duo. When you fold it, the floor turns into a ramp. If you stand the top half up, you can bank a marble off of it. When you snap the hinge, the marble launches up. Midnight Fridge ($2.99) - Midnight Fridge turns the iPhone Duo into a tiny refrigerator. It's a memory game where the idea is to look at the magnets on the fridge and then find the items inside. Greens: Mini Golf ($2.99) - Greens is a mini-golf app made for the iPhone Duo, and it's playable in any orientation. When folded like a laptop, you can putt on the half on the table, with the upright half serving as a caddie camera. Chirpfold (Free) - Chirpfold is a Flappy Bird-style app where you fold the phone to cause your bird to flap its wings. Valley Run ($0.99) - Valley Run is a neon-themed racing game where you fold the iPhone Duo to direct a marble down a series of challenging tracks. PianoFold ($4.99) - PianoFold is a rhythm game you can play with the iPhone Duo positioned like a laptop. Press and hold on the keys to match the song that's playing. It's free to download, but the full unlock is $4.99. Load Bearing ($5.00) - Load Bearing is a roguelite Tetris-style game that's meant to be played with the Duo half open. The controls are on the bottom, and the blocks fall at the top. It also has deck building elements, so you can put together a set of your preferred block pieces to beat each level. Who's at the Door? (Free) - Who's at the Door? is an app that turns your iPhone Duo into a door. Open it up to see who is on the other side, and if it's something scary, make sure to slam the Duo shut quickly before it gets you. Fold Match ($2.99) - Fold Match is a game where you're given a shape on one side of the Duo and a blank spot where the shape needs to go on the other side. The idea is to position the shape to get to that empty space, but you won't know how close you were until you close the iPhone. Battlefleet Duo (Free) - Battlefleet Duo takes advantage of the Duo's design for a Battleship-style game. In laptop mode, you can see your fleet on the lower screen and the enemy's waters in front of you. Simple But Clever Duo Aquarium ($1.00) - As the name suggests, this app turns your iPhone Duo into an aquarium. When in tent mode, it serves as a virtual fish tank and clock. You can choose your fish and your add-ins, then feed them. AltoPaint ($5.99) - AltoPaint is an app that turns the iPhone Duo into a tiny canvas with a paint palette. There are watercolor, oil, and gouache paints with mixable colors. Post Club ($4.99) - Post Club is a cute app where you can pick a typewriter, fold the Duo like a laptop and type up a letter. There are 10 typewriters and 14 paper styles to choose from. Halfpage ($2.99) - Halfpage is another app that turns the iPhone Duo into a typewriter when it's used in a MacBook-like orientation. The keys are at the bottom, and what you type is at the top. It has a simpler design than Post Club. Callsign ($1.49+) - Callsign turns your iPhone Duo into a sign that lets people know if you're free or busy on a call. Just set it up, put it in tent mode, and people can know at a glance not to bother you. It's free to download, and there are different visual packs to unlock with one-off $1.49 purchases. AskZine ($1.99) - AskZine is a Magic 8 Ball-like app where you ask a question, unfold the screen, and see your answer. Lullabox (Free) - Lullabox turns the iPhone Duo into a music box where you can wind the key, lift the lid, and watch a porcelain ballerina spin while soft music plays. The music gets louder as the iPhone Duo is opened further. DuoBook (Free) - DuoBook turns the iPhone Duo into a tiny Mac with a keyboard and trackpad that work like the Mac equivalent. You can also use it to send photos and files to the Mac. Special Duo Features Wakeout ($59.99/year) - Fitness app Wakeout was Apple's App of the Year back in 2020. It offers up workout games you can do in just minutes a day. You can put your Duo in tent or laptop mode to follow along with workout moves, playing games with your body. Faro (Free) - Faro is an app that helps you find movies to watch so you don't waste time browsing through Netflix without ever making a choice. On iPhone Duo, you can see two films side by side to choose between them, or see your list of picks on one half of the display with details on each movie on the other half. CalibReader (Free) - CalibReader is an EPUB and PDF reader that turns the iPhone Duo into a book. The outer screen shows the title's cover, and when you open it, there's a two-page spread with page-turning animations. Retrocade ( Apple Arcade ) - Retrocade turns the iPhone Duo into a mini arcade machine and works on the Duo in multiple fold positions. Blankie (Free) - Soundscape app Blankie has a dual view with Now Playing on one side and Sound Mixer on the other. When folded in tent mode, it shows a view of what's playing. Camera Apps IncrediBooth (Free) - IncrediBooth turns the iPhone Duo into a little photo booth. Press the red button to capture an image, and your photo strip appears on the outer display. It's free to download, with five strips available per day. VNTG (Free) - VNTG is an instant camera app where you close the iPhone Duo to take a shot and then open it up to develop it. It's free to download, with in-app purchases to unlock camera lenses. Flipcorder ($4.99) - Flipcorder is a video recording app that turns the iPhone Duo into a retro camcorder. It's designed to be used for daily video diaries, and each tape is displayed on a shelf in the app. To film, just unfold the Duo. Recordings have classic VHS-style effects. Less Fun, More Serious Brim ($0.89) - Brim is a Safari extension that lets Safari use the full width of the iPhone Duo's outer display for websites. It reclaims the blank space Apple left in Safari and moves links and buttons out from under the side controls. Widen ($3.99) - Widen is another extension that expands Safari to take up the width of the outer display. It also hides cookie banners and works in Split View. There are multiple settings, so you can set just pictures to take up the full screen, or opt to have pictures and text expand. SPAN (Free) - SPAN is an app that turns the iPhone Duo into a project tracker and timer. It has different views for each iPhone Duo orientation. SPAN is free to use for the current week, with a $4.99/month pro subscription available for unlimited projects and full monthly and yearly reports. BrainDrain (Free) - BrainDrain is a 60-second brain dump app that helps you sort your thoughts. On the iPhone Duo, different Duo orientations have different purposes. You can use it like a laptop in a half fold, type thoughts with the Duo closed, or put it in tent mode to use voice capture. More Apps Know of some fun iPhone Duo apps not on our list?

Control the Glowing Apple Logo on Your New MacBook Pro
Once a common sight in lecture theaters and coffee shops everywhere, the glowing emblem of an Apple logo featured on the lids of many Mac laptops launched in the early 2000s. In a nice touch, the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with PROLED XDR displays bring back the much-loved logo. It's lit up whenever the Mac is awake, and it automatically dims or brightens based on your screen's brightness level and the ambient light in the room. Image credit: MacRumors forum member sniffies If you'd rather keep the logo dark, Apple has shared a way to turn it off. Unusually though, there's no switch in System Settings. Instead, you need to enter a command in the Terminal app. If that sounds intimidating, don't worry it's a single line that you can copy and paste. Note that the following command only works on MacBook Pro models with a PROLED XDR display. Open Terminal on your Mac: it's in the Applications Utilities folder, or you can search for Terminal using Spotlight ( Command + Space ). Type or paste the following command, then press Enter : sudo defaults write com.apple.CoreBrightness LEBacklightMode -int 0 When prompted, enter your administrator password and press Enter . (Terminal doesn't show the password as you type it.) After performing the steps, the logo illumination should turn off immediately, no restart required. The change applies to all macOS user accounts on the machine, and it will carry over even if you start up from macOS Recovery. If you later migrate to a new Mac, the setting even transfers across with the rest of your system. Relight the Apple Logo Reinstalling macOS turns the illumination back on, but you can also turn it back on yourself at any time by entering the following command in Terminal: sudo defaults delete com.apple.CoreBrightness LEBacklightMode Remember to press Enter ! Backstory The first Mac laptop with a lit-up Apple logo was the third-generation PowerBook G3 launched in 1999. The glowing symbol proved a mainstay through consecutive Apple notebooks for the next 16 years. The only change in that period was that the logo got flipped upright, so that it no longer appeared upside-down to onlookers when someone was sat in public with the lid open. According to former Apple employee Joe Moreno , the original orientation was deliberate: Apple's design group had found that users kept trying to open their laptops from the wrong end. Steve Jobs always focused on providing the best possible user experience and believed that it was more important to satisfy the user than the onlooker, Moreno recalled. Ironically, Jobs later reversed the decision. Opening a laptop from the wrong end is a self-correcting problem that only lasts a few seconds, said Moreno. However, viewing the upside logo is a problem that lasts indefinitely. The earlier orientation, seen in Sex and the City (Image: HBO/Everett/Rex Features) In 2015, Apple began nixing the illuminated insignia from its laptops, starting with the ultra-thin 12-inch MacBook, which had a polished metal logo instead, like iPads before it. In 2016, a new generation of MacBook Pro models continued the unlit trend. Apple hasn't launched a Mac laptop with a glowing logo since until now.

Apple Arcade in November: Four new games added to the service
Macworld Gaming subscription services are all the rage now, but Apple Arcade isnt a little different from the likes of PlayStation Plus, EA Play, or Xbox Game Pass. If youve got questions about it, weve got plenty of answers. Updated November 6, 2026: There are four new games on the service this month: Crossy Road Rush , Food Stylist Design Game+ , KAMI 2+ , NBA 2K7 Arcade Edition . What is Apple Arcade? Apple Arcade is a gaming subscription service for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and AppleTV that features several hundred games. The games are a mix of genres and styles, and include original games youll only find on the service and others that can be found on the regular App Store or even other platforms. Apple Arcade isnt a streaming service like Xbox Live Cloud Gaming or GeForce NOW. Games must be downloaded onto your device in order to be played. What do I need to run it? Apple Arcade was made available as part of iOS 13, iPad OS 13, tvOS 13, and macOS Catalina or later. Some of the more visually-intensive games may only run well on newer hardware, though, and some Mac games require macOS 11 (Big Sur). How much does Apple Arcade cost? Apple Arcade costs $6.99/6.99 per month, and youll also get a one-month free trial or you can get three months free if you purchase a new iPhone, iPad, Apple TV or Mac. To claim your free trial click here . You can get Apple Arcade for less than $6.99 a month if you subscribe for a year upfront. A year of Apple Arcade is $49.99/49.99 (so $4.16 a month). If youre currently on the $6.99 month-to-month plan and want to switch to the annual plan and save some money, you can do so on youriPhone or iPad. Open the App Store app, then tap your account icon in the upper right. Tap Subscriptions , then tap the entry for Apple Arcade . Here, you can switch to the annual plan. Apple Arcade is also included in the Apple One subscription bundles , which range from $20 a month to $38 a month and include access to Apple Music and Apple TV and iCloud storage. There is also a month free trial of Apple One. To claim the trial, or sign up for Apple One, click here . How do I sign up for Apple Arcade? There isnt an Apple Arcade appits built into the App Store. On your iPhone, iPad, or Mac open the App Store and look for the Apple Arcade tab at the bottom of the screen (or in the left column on macOS). A sign-up screen with a Try It Free button will appear. After the trial youll be charged either the monthly or annual fee, depending on your selection. When subscribing, youll need to enter your Apple ID password or use Touch ID or Face ID to sign in, and youll have to confirm your subscription purchase a few times. Once youre done with the sign up, the Arcade section of the App Store shows what games are available to you. To access a game, tap on it in the App Store, then tap the Get button. When the game is done installing on your device, the Get button turns into a Play button, and you can tap it to launch the game. The game app icon will also appear on your devices Home page. On the Apple TV, there actually is an Arcade app. Open that to see the sign-up offer. Youll also find an Arcade tab within the App Store. Does my subscription include family sharing? Yes. One $6.99 per month subscription can be shared between up to six people (including you). How do I cancel Apple Arcade? First off, keep in mind that if you cancel Apple Arcade (either before your free trial is up or after subscribing), you wont be able to keep playing the games unless you re-subscribe. If youre okay with that, you can use the same process you use to cancel any other subscription service. Heres the easiest way to do it on the iPhone and iPad: Open the App Store app and tap on your profile photo in the upper right. In the screen that pops up, press Subscriptions near the top of the page. Youll then see a list of active subscriptions, and Apple Arcade should be listed there. Tap it. Youll either see Cancel Free Trial or Cancel Subscription toward the middle of the page that appears. Tap whatever option is available , then Confirm Cancellation . And heres how to cancel Apple Arcade on the Mac: Open the App Store app and then press the icon with your profile photo in the lower left. The Account window will appear, and you should then click View Information at the top of the window. Enter your password when/if prompted. When your Account Information appears, scroll down to the Manage section and click the Manage link to the right of Subscriptions . When the list of your active subscriptions appears, click Edit to the right of Apple Arcade . Toward the middle of the page that appears, youll see a button that says either Cancel Free Trial or Cancel Subscription . Click it, then click Confirm Cancellation and Confirm . Do Apple Arcade games have in-app purchases? No. In Apples words, since every game includes access to the full experience, including all game features, content, and future updates, no additional purchases will be required. Even games that have in-app purchases on the App Store wont have any in Apple Arcade. Do Apple Arcade games have ads? Also no. On a related note, Apple says Apple Arcade has no ad tracking. Is Apple Arcade a game streaming service like GeForce NOW or Xbox Game Streaming? No. All Apple Arcade games are downloaded. Are there demos for Apple Arcade games? No, and theyre not really necessary. Like regular App Store apps, games download quickly and can easily be removed if you dont want to keep it anymore. Apple partly envisions Apple Arcade as a way of letting players try out games with more freedom than the App Store currently allows (which is basically none). In Apples words, rather than pay upfront for each game, a subscription to Apple Arcade will give players the opportunity to try any game in the service without risk. The service has a free trial, though, as weve seen with other Apple subscription services. Am I able to keep playing Apple Arcade games if I cancel my subscription? No. As with most subscription services, you only have access while youre a subscriber. Can I use controllers with Apple Arcade games? Yes. In additional to traditional MFi (Made for iOS) controllers, you can pair some specific Bluetooth controllers for either PlayStation or Xbox with your iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV. Since many Apple Arcade games are playable on Mac and Apple TV (where controller support is more common), many games will support them. Some games, especially those that are also available in the broader App Store and only for iPhone or iPad, have no controller support. How often are new games released? Games are typically released on the first Friday of each month. There are some rare exceptions. What games have been released so far? There are over 200 games available for Apple Arcade, and the list grows all the time.

No ****! And 5 other Apple Watch Live Rewind testing takeaways
Macworld Live Rewind, one of the more compelling features demonstrated at the launch of the Apple Watch Series 12 back in September, has finally become available with the launch (in beta form) of watchOS 27.3 and iOS 27.3. Ive spent several days testing Live Rewind, and can report that its a thoroughly impressive proof of concept. But there are flaws and limitations to be aware of, even if several of the latter are the result of good intentions. Here are six takeaways from my extensive hands-on testing with Live Rewind on the Apple Watch Series 12. Live Rewind is surprisingly accurate I was skeptical, but Live Rewind does a surprisingly decent job of understanding and transcribing what it hears. I started by playing YouTube videos of restaurant conversations for people learning English as a foreign language: slow, clear, with largely simple vocabulary. I sat close to the iPad playing the video. An easy task to begin with, and Live Rewind coped easily. The transcripts were virtually perfect, not to mention beautifully formatted with line breaks to denote separate short speeches. I stepped up the difficulty by looking up some menus online (I selected this fancy restaurant ) and acting the part of the waiter myself. I selected esoteric dishes I hadnt heard of, spoke quickly and was careless with my enunciation, chucked in some ums and ers, varied volume and occasionally mumbled a little. And the feature produced a mostly accurate transcript that would have been extremely useful to a diner who had missed an option on the list. This time the formatting was more of a challengeLive Rewind couldnt keep track of separate sentences, so the whole thing was jumbled together with a sometimes misleading number of commasand occasionally I had to decipher a soundalike guess when the feature didnt recognise a term. (IV instead of Ivy, 7 and Y instead of the British rivers Severn and Wye, for example.) But the information was mostly there. The most difficult task was when I used Live Rewind (after obtaining consent!) to recall snatches of random conversations with my family. This was more mixed. It caught the gist a lot of the time. But there were more soundalike guesses than before, and some sentences were missed entirely. This mostly related to distance, I think, and Ill come back to that later. So Live Recall is by no means perfect. But considering the difficulty of the taskhandling variations in accent and diction, mumbling and muffled speech, irregular grammar, slang, in-jokes, proper nouns, brand names, technical or foreign termsit does a very solid job. My verdict is that the accuracy is high enough to be useful as backup if you missed something, but not yet accurate enough to depend on as an alternative to paying attention. That should be tenderstem broccoli, obviously. David Price / Foundry Live Rewind has a short memory Like the proverbial goldfish, Live Rewind has a memory of 15 seconds. Which is shorter than you might think. On one test I read out a list of just four main courses, but made sure to include the additional verbiage for each one, as I suspect many waiters in high-end establishments would be encouraged to do. Nothing extreme, just an extra sentence detailing ingredients and/or preparation. The result of this slight bulking out was that Live Rewind, despite being triggered the very moment I finished my list, missed a big chunk of it. The first main and half the second were lost to history. Bear in mind, too, that while lists of specials in restaurants may frequently fit in the 15-second window (assuming the waiter refrains from prolixity), other scenarios may not work so well. Will the list of cocktails at a bar fit in 15 seconds, or the list of films at a cinema, or the list of changes your boss told you to make to a document? I have my doubts, although Siri Recap, if you use it, does not have a time limit and may be able to step in. The short memory, its worth noting, applies whether or not Live Rewind is currently hearing anything. If you trigger the feature, it wont rewind to the last 15 seconds of audio it heard; it will show you any speech it has heard in the past 15 seconds, ending when you double-press the Digital Crown. If youve been sitting in silence for at least 15 seconds, youll see the message No voice detected. And even if you do manage to capture the transcript of some speech, Live Rewind will by default forget it the moment you tap the X button to close it. You need to explicitly save it to the Siri app if you want to keep the record. (Youll save only the transcript, needless to say, not the audio from which it was created.) This short memory is deliberate, by the way, as well discover. Live Rewind has a short range My first impressions of the feature were not good. When I tried to use it on a conversation with my daughter, who was sitting perhaps 6 or 8 meters away and speaking unusually clearly, it produced a transcript of all my words and literally none of hers. But after more testing it became apparent that this was an issue of range, not accuracy. Live Rewind is good at picking up speech thats close to you, and far less effective when someone is speaking even from the other side of the room. I havent been able to find any evidence that this is deliberate (I know, for example, that the closely related feature Siri Recap can and will listen to people further away, since Apple gives the example of a lecturer in an otherwise quiet room in its notes ) but suspect that it may relate to privacy. If the waiter leans in and tells you about todays delicious cod cheeks, one may assume they consent to being heard. If the speaker is three tables away, things become murkier. Live Rewind doesnt approve of swearing I dont want to shock you, but while testing this feature I happened to hear a YouTuber use the word shit. Live Rewind transcribed this as ****. (Siri Recap did the same, incidentally.) The closest I can find to an explanation is in the support document, where Apple says Siri Recap is designed to omit potentially harmful content, such as language that promotes self-harm or hateful speech. But thats a different issue, and shit does not, as far as I can see, constitute hateful speech. So its a bit of a mystery. But very much the sort of family-values prudishness weve come to expect from Apple. How very shocking. David Price / Foundry The range of privacy measures is admirable For better and worse, the issue of privacy is absolutely central to Live Rewind. Apple is conscious that most of us are creeped out by the idea of a wrist-mounted surveillance bot listening in on conversations. Its conscious that previous surveillance-adjacent tech (Google Glass, for example) has encountered significant public pushback, and wants to avoid bad PR. So everything has been done with privacy in mind. To trigger Live Rewind, you have to double-press the Digital Crown, a distinctive gesture intended to be hard for creeps to disguise. A similar intent lies behind the on-screen animation and non-mutable sound effect, both of which alert anyone close enough to be recorded by the feature that you are summoning a transcript of what they just said. Its also worth mentioning that the feature works on your device. (The processing legwork happens on the companion iPhone, not the Apple Watch, by the way, so make sure its nearby.) It doesnt happen in the cloud, and Apple insists it does not have access to the data. I wont pretend Im completely on board with listening tech in general. I fear that such technologies are becoming more and more widespread and normalised. But with Live Rewind, Apple has done everything it can to take privacy concerns into consideration. and sometimes frustrating I applaud Apple for its efforts to safeguard privacy. But like the AirTag, which quite rightly took steps to combat stalking and in the process made itself a far less effective anti-theft device , Live Rewind finds itself in a position where good intentions lead to many of its most frustrating limitations. The short memory is there to limit the features surveillance capabilities. Ditto, I suspect, the short physical range. It also doesnt attempt, by design and for explicitly privacy-related reasons, to identify or differentiate between multiple speakers (not even speaker A and speaker B), despite this being an obvious way to make transcripts easier to parse. When viewing the transcript on your Apple Watch, youll find that the screenshot function is disabled, presumably to make it slightly less convenient for bad actors to eavesdrop and then share the results. But this also makes life less convenient if you want to share them for innocent reasons, such as sending the list of specials to a latecomer on their way to the restaurant, or publishing an article about how well the feature works. Live Rewind would be much more useful if these limitations were cast aside, but it would also be more controversial, and Apple doesnt like that. Youll need a new Apple Watch Series 12 to use Live Rewind. Mahmoud Itani / Foundry Conclusions Im way more impressed by Live Rewind than I expected to be. The accuracy is very solid. Yes, it makes some mistakes when tested under the most challenging conditions, but a lot of those mistakes will actually be phonetic best guesses that can be deciphered with little effort. And it usually gets the important details right. Its not quite sharp enough that you can ignore the waiter listing off specials or the senior colleague asking you a question and assume everything will be transcribed perfectly. But its a handy backup for the parts you missed while mostly paying attention. The main issues I have with Live Rewind, if they can be called issues, are the limitations deliberately put in place for privacy reasons. Its got very short range, for instance, and the 15-second memory window is on the low side in terms of usefulness. But privacy matters, and I understand why Apple made these decisions. Speaking only for myself, I still find the concept a tiny bit creepy. But Apple has done its best to minimise that factor, and this is overall a very decent effort.

Apple Says More Than 100,000 Apps Optimized for iPhone Duo, Here
Apple today announced that more than 100,000 apps have been optimized for the iPhone Duo, released two weeks ago. We confirmed that this figure refers to apps built with the iOS 27.1 SDK or later , meaning these apps fill the full width of the iPhone Duo's inner and outer displays and have vertical controls in the status bar. A statement from Susan Prescott, Apple's Vice President of Worldwide Developer Relations: It's been wonderful to see how quickly developers have embraced iPhone Duo, and we're grateful for their creativity and innovation. Today there are well over 100,000 apps built for iPhone Duo already live on the App Store, and thousands of optimized apps are being added to the store each day. In the last month alone, thousands of developers have joined us for workshops in 19 cities around the world to experience iPhone Duo firsthand and bring updated apps to their users. The enthusiasm has been incredible, and we're excited to see the pace of updates continue to accelerate as more and more apps optimize for iPhone Duo. Apple said thousands of apps optimized for the iPhone Duo are being added to the App Store each day, with recent examples including Microsoft's Excel, OneNote, PowerPoint, and Word apps , along with the Etsy, Goodnotes, Halide Mark III, NBA, NHL, and Zoom apps. Other apps optimized for the device include Amazon Prime Video, Fantastical, Flighty, Instagram, MLB, Netflix, SmartGym, WhatsApp, YouTube, and more. There are too many to list. Apps optimized for the iPhone Duo have a Made for iPhone Duo badge in their App Store listings on the device, making them easy to identify. iOS 27.2 added Apple Pencil (USB-C) support to the iPhone Duo , enabling users to draw in apps like Procreate Pocket, take notes in Apple Notes, Fineliner, and TypeDraw, and mark up documents in apps like Preview on the device. On the other hand, with millions of apps available in the App Store, there are unsurprisingly many apps that are still not optimized for the iPhone Duo, with the following examples listed in alphabetical order: AMC Theaters, Amazon Fire TV, Apple Store, Best Buy, Bluesky, Delta, DoorDash, Duolingo, Fandango, FedEx, Goodreads, Google Docs, Google Home, Google Sheets, Google Slides, GrubHub, JetBlue, Libby, Microsoft Authenticator, Microsoft Teams, MTA, Nike, PayPal, PictureThis, Ring, Southwest, Spectrum TV, Starbucks, Steam, Uber Eats, UPS, USPS, Venmo, Verizon, Wells Fargo, Whole Foods, and YouTube Music. Apple said developers can easily optimize their apps for the iPhone Duo. Apps that use standard SwiftUI and UIKit components adapt automatically to each display, with controls moved to the status bar and multi-column support on the inner display. New APIs let developers optimize their apps for the device's various layouts and poses. Apple has hosted more than 50 in-person iPhone Duo app workshops in 19 cities worldwide, and there are online resources like the Apple Developer Forums . In the meantime, apps built with the iOS 27 SDK resize to fill most of the inner display on the iPhone Duo, but they avoid the status bar on the right edge. Apps built with the iOS 26 SDK or earlier run on the iPhone Duo, but appear in the center of the inner display, with lots of empty black space on the left and right sides of the apps. iPhone Duo app optimization has been a hotly debated topic on social media platforms, with some people pointing out apps that are not yet optimized and others saying the issue is overblown. It is clearly a mixed bag, with some apps optimized and some not. More apps are being updated by the day, though, so the situation is improving rapidly.

The MacRumors Show: iOS 27.3 Looks Like a Huge Update
Apple's first 27.3 betas bring expanded Siri AI actions, a redesigned Health app, and new Fitness+ features, alongside conversation summaries on the Apple Watch. This week's episode of The MacRumors Show takes a closer look at the updates. Subscribe to The MacRumors Show YouTube channel for more videos Siri AI gains additional actions across Apple's apps, including unsubscribing from mailing lists, organizing files, and managing Safari tabs. In Weather, Siri can add saved locations and toggle severe weather or next-hour precipitation notifications. The additions extend the assistant's usefulness for everyday tasks, although the full range of supported requests can still be difficult to discover. A new developer preview also enables more flexible third-party integrations. Developers can supply custom actions and skills that help Siri coordinate multiple steps, improving its handling of more complicated requests. App Store submissions for these integrations are scheduled to open in the spring. Safari adds vertical tabs and Adaptive Dark Mode , allowing websites without their own dark appearance to adopt one automatically. The iPhone Duo also gains horizontal Reachability and a revised keyboard, making its wider outer display easier to operate with one hand. Apple Fitness+ gains Gym Strength , which creates personalized four-week plans based on available equipment and workout preferences. Short videos from Fitness+ trainers demonstrate proper form, extending the service beyond workouts that require following an entire video session. The initial beta's equipment selection and scheduling options nevertheless leave room for improvement, particularly for users whose routines vary from week to week. The redesigned Health app returns with Insights and Longevity sections, turning collected measurements into more accessible guidance and longer-term health assessments. iPhone Duo-style StandBy mode displays bring more customizable clocks, Calendar views, and Weather information to additional iPhones. Apple Music also gains enhanced transitions, concert recommendations, and Selfie Sing karaoke videos. On the Apple Watch, Live Rewind and Siri Recap introduce new ways to recover and summarize spoken information. Live Rewind provides a transcription of the preceding 15 seconds, while Siri Recap creates detailed conversation summaries that can be useful for meeting notes. Time- and location-based scheduling provides more control over when Siri Recap operates.

Global Tablet Sales Crash, Even For Apple; Why Buyers Are Not Upgrading
The global tablet market is experiencing a significant downturn, registering a steep 23% decline driven by ongoing industry pressures. According to data from Omdia , total global shipments dropped from 41.8 million units down to 32.2 million units , impacting even major industry leaders like Apple . Despite this sharp contraction, Apple retains its position as the market leader with a 36% market share , though its iPad shipments fell by 27.5% compared to the same period last year. Meanwhile, Samsung secures the second position as the isolated runner-up, capturing 16.9% of the market with 5.42 million units shipped, reflecting a 21.7% decrease in its sales volume. Rounding out the top tier, Lenovo holds 12.7% of the market , standing out as the only major manufacturer to achieve positive growth with an 11.9% increase during the analyzed period. Conversely, other prominent brands faced severe drops; Xiaomi experienced a 10.6% decline , while Huawei suffered the most dramatic contraction in the ranking, plummeting by 43% . Market analysts at Omdia point out that severe supply chain restrictions are heavily constraining the ability of manufacturers to introduce meaningful hardware upgrades in new tablet generations. Omdia research manager Himani Mukka notes that these limitations leave minimal differentiation between new models and their predecessors, prompting consumers to delay device upgrades until more substantial innovations emerge. Industry experts warn that these persistent supply constraints are projected to extend throughout 2027 , potentially dragging adjacent device categories, such as smartphones , into a parallel cycle of market stagnation as well.

Super Mario Odyssey Runs Natively On Apple TV 4K Thanks To AI
Nintendos popular titles, including Super Mario Odyssey and Animal Crossing: New Horizons , can now run natively on the Apple TV 4K through a new AI-assisted software port. Developed by a Reddit user known as FloatingFalafel , the open-source project is called TVPort . TVPort functions as a fork of the nxnative toolkit , utilizing Claude Opus 5.5 to recompile Nintendo Switch games on a Mac so they can operate on Apples streaming box. According to the creator, Super Mario Odyssey achieves a smooth 60 frames per second (fps) , while Animal Crossing: New Horizons runs at 30 fps . Although additional titles have not yet been tested, the open-source software is publicly available for users to experiment with other games. [Release] TVPort Port switch games to run natively on AppleTV (4k 3rd gen) by u/FloatingFalafel in decomps Running these titles requires users to supply their own game files extracted from physical cartridges using a modified Nintendo Switch , as game files are not bundled with the software. Furthermore, hardware limitations may restrict performance. More demanding titles, such as The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom , could face thermal throttling issues on the third-generation Apple TV 4K . However, the upcoming fourth-generation Apple TV 4K scheduled to launch commercially on November 13 may handle heavier workloads that current hardware cannot support. The project also faces potential legal scrutiny given Nintendos history with unofficial software. Nintendo actively protects its intellectual property, exemplified by its 2024 lawsuit against the Yuzu emulator team , which concluded with a $2.4 million settlement and the discontinuation of the project. Because of these enforcement measures, the longevity of TVPort remains uncertain. Super Mario Odyssey Runs Natively On Apple TV 4K Thanks To AI , original content from Ubergizmo .

With the latest purchase, cumulative FII investments since October 16 have reached Rs 53,154 crore, according to the exchange data.Friday's buying followed another massive investment of Rs 14,975 crore on Thursday, November 5, marking the biggest single-day FII purchase in Indian equities in more than a year.The pace of foreign buying has accelerated in recent sessions, with FIIs investing a net Rs 34,584 crore over the past five trading sessions alone. The latest inflows mark a sharp turnaround from the prolonged selling witnessed earlier this year, when overseas investors withdrew billions of dollars from Indian equities.The foreign buying came even as domestic institutional investors (DIIs) continued to sell. DIIs offloaded shares worth a net Rs 5,969 crore on Friday, following net sales of Rs 10,445 crore in the previous session. Their combined net selling over the two sessions stood at Rs 16,414 crore.The return of foreign buying follows months of sustained selling amid elevated crude oil prices, geopolitical tensions in West Asia, a weakening rupee and concerns over corporate earnings.Foreign selling intensified in September and October as oil prices climbed and global investors reduced their exposure to emerging markets. The outflows had pushed foreign ownership of Indian equities to historic lows.Global brokerage Nomura said Indian equities could become more attractive to foreign investors as earnings improve and valuations remain below their post-pandemic averages. It also noted that the correction in artificial intelligence-related stocks in international markets could encourage investors to redirect capital towards other markets, including India.Expectations of a possible reduction in long-term capital gains tax for foreign investors have also added to optimism, although any such change remains uncertain.ALSO READ: $5 billion in 5 days!

Mirwaiz says he remains under house arrest, barred from delivering Friday sermon
Srinagar, Nov 6: Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir Dr Moulvi Mohammad Umar Farooq on Friday said he continued to remain under house arrest for nearly a week, alleging that police deployment and barricades outside his Nigeen residence had prevented him from visiting the historic Jama Masjid in Srinagar to deliver the Friday sermon. In a post on X, Mirwaiz expressed disappointment over the continued restrictions, saying he would not be able to address the faithful at the mosque. My house detention continues unabated for the past week with police deployment and barricades in place. Unfortunate that I will not be able to deliver the Friday sermon at Jama Masjid Srinagar to the faithful today. Arbitrary and authoritarian measures to curtail freedom of movement and speech only betray the official narrative of normalcy in Kashmir, he said. He said the restrictions had prevented him from attending scheduled religious gatherings and leading the Friday congregation at Jamia Masjid.

Apple Rumored to Drop the iPhone
Apple plans to merge the iPhone's Action button with the Camera Control starting next year, according to the leaker known as Instant Digital . In a new post on Weibo, the leaker claimed that a single press of the combined button would open the camera, while a long press would trigger the function assigned to the Action button. They explicitly clarified that the dedicated Action button would disappear, while the Camera Control button would remain. The proposed arrangement seems plausible given how the two features already work. The Action button predates the Camera Control and requires a long press to activate its assigned function, while a single press of the Camera Control opens the camera. Combining them in the way described would therefore preserve both familiar interactions, with the customizable action simply moving to a different location on the device. A long press of Camera Control currently opens Visual Intelligence , but that feature has since been integrated directly into the Camera app as Siri mode in iOS 27 . That integration could give Apple room to reassign the gesture while keeping Visual Intelligence accessible through the Camera app. It is notable that the iPhone Duo also lacks an Action button , despite retaining Camera Control. Its omission provides a precedent for an iPhone without the separate control and could hint at a broader change in the future. The Camera Control received a mixed reception when it debuted on the iPhone 16 , with some reviewers criticizing its usefulness, complexity, and ergonomics, making further refinement seem plausible. Combining it with the Action button could give the control a clearer sense of purpose. Removing a separate button could also simplify manufacturing and reduce the potential for users to confuse the Action button with the adjacent volume buttons. Apple was previously rumored to be working on a simplified Camera Control design for the iPhone 18 lineup, but that change did not materialize. Instant Digital claimed Apple would remove the capacitive sensing layer and rely on pressure sensing to reduce costs while retaining its functions. The iPhone 16's Camera Control button. The latest rumor raises the possibility that a redesign is still in development, potentially as part of a broader rethink that incorporates the Action button's functionality, although it remains unclear whether the two claims describe related plans. Apple introduced the Action button on the iPhone 15 Pro in 2023 as a replacement for the longstanding Ring/Silent switch. It can be assigned to functions such as Silent mode, Focus, the flashlight, Shortcuts, and more. The rumored combined control would retain a dedicated way to trigger those actions while reducing the number of physical buttons. Instant Digital said that the change will take place starting with new iPhone models released in the second half of 2027. The claimed timing would presumably coincide with the launch of Apple's 20th-anniversary iPhone models in the fall of next year. Apple's naming plans remain unclear, so the devices could be called the iPhone 19 Pro, iPhone 20 Pro , or something else.
