Amazon Launches Early Prime Day Discounts on AirPods, iPad, MacBook Air, and More
Earlier this week, we began tracking early Prime Day deals on Apple-related accessories , and today Amazon has introduced major early deals on Apple products as well. This includes AirPods, iPads, MacBooks, and more, all available at some of the lowest prices of the year so far. Note: MacRumors is an affiliate partner with Amazon. When you click a link and make a purchase, we may receive a small payment, which helps us keep the site running. As is typical for Prime Day deals, these markdowns are very time sensitive, so sales listed below may disappear fast, and new ones may appear even faster. With this in mind, we'll keep this article updated throughout the event, and keep an eye on the MacRumors front page as we'll be posting particularly great deals in separate articles this week. EARLY SAVINGS Amazon Prime Big Deal Days Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, Amazon Prime Day requires you to have an Amazon Prime membership to take advantage of the discounts.

Wi-Fi 5 vs Wi-Fi 6: What Is the Difference?
Wi-Fi Alliance launched the Wi-Fi 6 standard in September 2019. There are many key differences between Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6. The Wi-Fi 5, or 802.11ac, standard was introduced in 2013 by the Wi-Fi Alliance. The technical standard is now 13 years old. However, various devices still ship with support for Wi-Fi 5. The Wi-Fi 6, 802.11ax, standard is relatively new. The Wi-Fi Alliance introduced Wi-Fi 6 in September 2019, making it only seven years old. Most flagship smartphones ship with support for Wi-Fi 6. However, Wi-Fi 7 is now the most advanced standard, which was introduced in 2024. Wi-Fi 6 is much better at handling high-bandwidth tasks, delivering a maximum theoretical speed of up to 9.6Gbps. However, real-world speeds could be lower depending on the devices. Yet, it is better for playing competitive games online, watching high-definition (HD) content, and downloading multiple large files simultaneously.

Apple confirms iPhone cellular issue, admits affected units can
Macworld Following numerous complaints from iPhone 18 Pro Max owners, its now been officially acknowledged that some units have a problem placing calls, sending texts, and accessing data. Initially by the carrier AT&T, which sent out a message to customers warning about the issue and strongly advising them to update iOS immediately. And now by Apple itself. As seen by MacRumors , the carrier sent out the following text on Thursday: Hi, its AT&T. Action needed: An important Apple software update for your iPhone 18 Pro Max is available. Some phones may be unable to complete calls/text/data, including to 911. Update to iOS 27.0.1 immediately Settings > General > Software Update. Please contact AT&T or Apple if you have questions. While this formal admission will be some comfort to affected partiessince the first step on the road to a fix is admitting that one is neededthe proposed solution may not be viewed kindly. Apples release notes for the iOS 27.0.1 software update do not mention fixing this issue. And many users whove encountered the bug explicitly report that updating to 27.0.1 doesnt fix it. The problem was first reported in mid-September. New [iPhone 18 Pro Max] cant make or receive phone calls or FaceTime, complained the author of one Apple Support discussion thread . Text messages are extremely slow to come through It does all of this even when the phone is showing four bars of 5G then the phone randomly drops service and goes into SOS. A Redditor , meanwhile, wrote: I got my iPhone 18 on Friday. I have coverage through AT&T. I have been noticing that I have been getting SOS on my phone. Wi-Fi works for the internet but I cant make calls. Even if it doesnt say SOS, trying to make a phone call is impossible now. There are thousands of replies to these and similar discussions, many of whom confirm theyve had the same experience. And they are pessimistic about AT&Ts solution. One commenter on the Apple Support thread replies, I just received a text from them that the latest [iOS 27.0.1] update would fix the problem I had already updated to this so I know it isnt the resolution. This just reaffirms that they have no idea what the problem is or how to fix it. And while a separate Reddit thread entitled iPhone 18 Pro Max Cellular Issues: Did iOS 27.0.1 resolve them? includes a couple of replies who cautiously think it may have helped, but overwhelming people are unconvinced the issue is fixed: No, it did not fix that issue. Can confirm personally. No The bugfix update did nothing. I feel like the 27.0.1 update made it worse. I did the update but still have the problem. Im still having the issue even after the update, so its definitely AT&T. I updated and it didnt fix it and had to get the phone replaced for SECOND time. After we initially posted this article, AT&T contacted Macworld and asked us to publish a statement: Apple has released a software update to address an issue that may affect calls, data, texts, and 911 calls on a small number of Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max phones. AT&T customers with an iPhone 18 Pro Max should update their phones now to the latest available software. Our top priority is ensuring customers can stay connected when they need it most, and we are working with Apple to make it right. Based on the unsatisfied responses of affected parties, however, this didnt seem convincing. At this point, it wasnt even clear if it was a hardware or software problem, let alone whether it was possible to fix it through an iOS update. Resolution looked to be a long way off. Apple gets involved On October 3, Apple got in touch to offer a company statement and a fix. But its not entirely good news. We have identified an issue affecting a small number of iPhone 18 Pro Max users on the AT&T network that may cause a device to lose service and be unable to make calls, said an Apple spokesperson. We released iOS 27.0.1 earlier this week and strongly encourage all iPhone 18 Pro Max users to update now, and are also issuing a carrier settings update today. These updates together are meant to help prevent this issue from occurring. The company believes that the problem can be avoided (thats to say, avoided in the future, not fixed if its already happened) if users install iOS 27.0.1 and the latest carrier settings update . You need both to be protected, apparently. AT&T-based iPhone 18 Pro Max owners should find that the carrier settings update downloads automatically within the next 14 days, but they can manually trigger this process by opening Settings and going to General > About . But this is a prophylactic measure, not a cure. If an iPhone has already been affected and is therefore without service, Apple admits that it cannot be reactivated via software and will require a hardware replacement. In such cases, the owner should contact Apple Support or AT&T, or visit an Apple Store or AT&T location.

AirPods 5 Review: Getting Surprisingly Close to the Pros
AirPods 5 are an interesting step forward for Apples regular AirPods lineup. They keep the familiar open-fit design but add ANC (active noise cancellation), the H2 chip, improved audio, better water resistance, and several smarter features previously seen on the Pro range. The biggest surprise is just how effective the ANC can be without silicone ear tips sealing the ear canal.

Apple tightens macOS Full Disk Access controls as AI agents proliferate
Macworld If youve been using third-party apps on your Mac, you are probably familiar with a permission dialog box called Full Disk Access. Its sort of a big catch-all permission that lets an application read or write almost any data to your Macs drive. It was originally conceived as a way for apps to be able to fully back up and restore your hard drive, but developers have since used it as a shortcut for auto-updating apps, managment apps, among others. On my Mac, the Adobe Creative Cloud updater wants this permission, as does the Logitech software for managing my keyboard and mouse, and Microsoft OneDrive. AI agents on the Mac also typically ask for this permission, and it allows them to access information that you may not iwant them to have. If you know where the data is stored, you can access full messages, contacts, photos, emails, browsing history, and much more with just this one setting. In a note on its Developer Site , Apple says its about to crack down on this Full Disk Access abuse by introducing additional controls: We give developers powerful APIs to build incredible capabilities into their apps for Apple products, backed by a set of controls designed to protect users private data. Full Disk Access largely sidesteps these controls in order to allow backup apps to function properly on the Mac. Some developers are using Full Disk Access in ways that could put users at risk, exposing everything on their systemsincluding files, mail, messages, and even browsing historywithout users full knowledge and understanding. For communication apps, this can also compromise the privacy of the people users are communicating with. Going forward, we will introduce additional controls to ensure that users who genuinely wish to grant an app this extraordinary level of access can only do so with very explicit user action. Addressing this is critical. As AI agents become increasingly capable and autonomous, the risks associated with this level of access will grow substantially. We are committed to ensuring users clearly understand these risks before granting such access, so they can make informed decisions about their own data and privacy. Apple has not yet said what form these controls will take, but its likely that itll start with sterner wording for this setting, making it clear that any app that requests this access can essentialy see everything on your drive, including every cache and buffer storing info from online services. Were starting to hear plenty of horror stories about AI agents having knowledge theyre not supposed to have or wreaking havoc by deleting or modifying important files, and they almost always stem from this simple and over-permissive setting granting access to read and write almost every file on your Mac. Apple has not given a time frame for this Full Disk Access abuse crackdown, but given how many applications (not just AI agents) use it when they dont really need to access your entire Mac disk, it cant come soon enough.
Top Stories: Apple Smart Home Launch on October 13, iPhone Duo Production Issues, and More
Things are getting crazy in the Apple rumor world, as even though the iPhone 18 Pro and several other products have only just launched and the iPhone Duo is right around the corner, there's even more to come imminently. October 13 looks to be the date for an introduction of Apple's revamped smart home portfolio, including the home hub device we've been hearing about for ages. This week also saw word that Apple's supply chain is struggling to meet production yield goals for the iPhone Duo ahead of its launch, while iPhone 18 Pro owners are now getting a chance to put the devices through their paces, so read on below for all of the details! Top Stories Three New Apple Smart Home Products Coming on October 13 A couple of those leaked products above could be arriving very shortly, as Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman says Apple will be introducing a trio of new smart home products on Tuesday, October 13 . Apple will reportedly debut its long-rumored smart home hub product, as well as the new HomePod mini and Apple TV models, and while he didn't specify how Apple will introduce them, signs are pointing to some sort of event . Apple retail stores have reportedly also received confidential boxes that are marked Do Not Open Until October 8 and which are likely to contain merchandising materials. It's unclear, however, if they are for the upcoming iPhone Duo launch or something related to the smart home product introduction. Apple Smart Home Hub to Feature iMac G4-Style Design Apple's long-rumored smart home hub will have an iMac G4-style design and a host of unique features, Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman reports. The smart home hub is said to feature a square 6-inch display, with variants that can be placed on a countertop or mounted on a wall. It features a single FaceTime camera on the front, with microphones and speakers in its connected base. Leaks suggest the hub may be available in Silver, Space Gray, Starlight, and Rose Pink colors , and will be able to display user-customizable Photo Faces pulled from your photos library, memories, and shared albums, a feature that appears similar to what will be available for StandBy mode on the iPhone Duo. iPhone Duo Reportedly Facing Production Problems Ahead of Launch The iPhone Duo is reportedly facing production difficulties ahead of its October launch , with early output expected to be limited. A person said to be close to Foxconn's supply chain told China's Jiemian News that final assembly yields for Apple's first foldable iPhone were only slightly above 60% as of September 17. The source said that, under Apple's current quality standards, it could take another six months to a year for the assembly line to reach a mature yield. According to the source, Foxconn is repeatedly adjusting equipment, assembly processes, and production settings as it makes the iPhone Duo at scale. The source also said suppliers were waiting to see whether Apple would ease any quality requirements to accelerate production. iPhone 18 Pro First Impressions: What Do You Think So Far? It's been almost two weeks since the iPhone 18 Pro models launched, and we want to hear from MacRumors readers. What do you think of Apple's newest iPhones? If you upgraded from an older phone, was it worth it? What about upgrading from an iPhone 17 Pro? What problems are you running into? Anything you love so far? MacRumors readers have already been sharing early opinions on the MacRumors forums, and there are interesting discussion threads to read through. For early reviews and hands-on images, make sure to check out the first impressions and photos thread . Not everything has been perfect, however, as some users have been experiencing issues such as speaker crackling or popping while some iPhone 18 Pro Max users on AT&T in the U.S. have been having issues with cellular connectivity or eSIM provisioning . Apple Planning to Launch Products Faster and More Often John Ternus is marking one month as Apple CEO, and he is apparently undertaking efforts to restructure the company to accelerate product development and introduce new products more frequently , according to Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman. Ternus apparently wants Apple to roaden its range of devices and create a leaner organization with a greater focus on engineering. One proposal under consideration is to rely less on Apple's traditional spring and fall product release cycles, and introduce new devices more quickly and throughout the year. Ternus has also purportedly indicated that Apple must become more experimental to remain competitive in the era of artificial intelligence.

How to send photos as email attachments on the iPhone
Macworld Since iOS 14, there is no longer an option to send photos as attachments. Apple changed the creation of new emails on iOS so that as soon as any additional formatting is used, the message is no longer sent as plain text but as an HTML email. As a result, inserted images are automatically displayed within the email and are not sent as separate attachments. Apple doesnt seem like it will change this soon. Here are some tips for sending emails with images from the iPhone. How to send iPhone photos as attachments Use a different email app. To avoid embedded photos in emails, the most reliable method is to use a third-party email app such as Microsoft Outlook app on your iPhone and use it only to send photos. Outlook for iOS is available for free from the App Store. You can use the app as a standard email client, even if you dont have a Microsoft subscription. When sending emails, remember to send the photos via Outlook rather than the Mail app. Since iOS 18, you can set a third-party email app as the default. Zip the photos . Another method is to send your iPhone photos as an archived ZIP file. This can be done using a shortcut called Zip and Share Photos, which weve made available for download through this link . Once youve installed the shortcut in the Shortcuts app, open your Photos library and tap the Share button on any image. In the Share menu, select the Zip and Share Photos option and then select the images you want. After tapping Add , you can select your preferred email client. The iPhone will then create a Zip file containing the original images and attach it to the email. By default, the file is named after the device name and the current date. If desired, you can customize the automatically generated filename by adding your own variables or text blocks in the second step of the shortcut. Print to PDF . Another method does not require any third-party apps, but it has one drawback: the selected photos are combined into a single file. To do this, use the iPhones built-in print function. Open the Photos app, select one or more images and tap the share arrow in the bottom-left corner. In the Share menu, rather than selecting an app such as Mail or Messages directly, select the printer icon. The selected photos will then be displayed in a print preview, which initially suggests sending them to an available printer. Then tap the Share arrow again and send the PDF file via your preferred email service. Multiple photos will automatically be distributed across individual PDF pages and can be saved by the recipient as attachments. Send via iCloud link . To do this, select the photos you want, tap the share icon and choose Create Shared Album Link from the menu. This requires the photos to be synchronized via iCloud. This option is not available if iCloud Photo Library is not enabled. When the recipient opens the link in a browser, they can then download all the shared images in one go.

Best Apple Find My Bluetooth trackers 2026: AirTag alternatives that
Macworld In the 15 years since it first appeared on the iPhone, Apples Find My technology has transformed from a simple GPS-based phone finder to a versatile ecosystem of devices not just from Apple but many specialized accessory makers in all exciting shapes, sizes, and forms. Apples Find My app offers a unified, secure way to locate all your Apple devices (iPhone, Watch, AirPods, and Mac) and items (AirTags plus third-party trackers such as these reviewed here) via an anonymous network of millions of Apple devices that ping encrypted Bluetooth to report their location back to iCloud, even when offline. These are detected by other nearby Apple devices, relaying the location data securely to you. Find My helps you to locate misplaced items in seconds, alerts you if you leave them behind, and works through your Apple device. Find My features See all your devices on a map Get the distance and direction with Precision Finding Share your lost items location Play a sound to find your device Notify When Left Behind Display a message for someone who finds it Find devices that are offline or powered off Best Find My AirTag alternatives Apples AirTags are cute, but at 8mm thick, theyre too bulbous to realistically fit in your wallet. The latest 2nd generation AirTag doesnt change the originals dimensions, leaving the market open to third-party trackers that are thinner, louder and more capable. The most common type of AirTag alternative that works directly with Apples Find My is a thin card design that can slip into your wallet or purse just like a bank card. These can be under 2mm in thickness. If you have an AirTag, stop reading and check out the best AirTag accessories , but if you need a new tracker, Apples Find My ecosystem has broken away from locating just Apple devices and AirTags to tracking just about anything, from keys to wallets , glasses cases , and passports , to bikes and pets (although Apple doesnt recommend AirTags for pets ). In January 2026, Apple released a new version of its AirTag; read our new AirTag 2 review . The 2nd Generation AirTag features a louder alert chime and improved range for super-local discovery. However, it retains the same small but curiously bulky shape that makes these third-party FindMy trackers more appealing. While all the non-Apple trackers listed below work perfectly with Apples Find My app, there is on area where the AirTag offers something unique: Precision Finding , which uses an Ultra Wideband chip that is exclusive to Apple and not publicly available to other tracker makers. This feature guides you to the tracker with more detailed directions when you are close bywithin about 1015 meters (3350 feet). The non-AirTag trackers will guide you on a map just like an AirTag but reply on their alert sound when you get closer.

It comes with a decent-sized lanyard, and will work with just about any object but works especially well on a bag. The built-in battery neither rechargeable nor replaceable but Ugreen claims it will last at least five years, claims its maker.

Best Find My passport holders In the days when air travel was a rare treat or when you travelled to different continents via ocean liner, everyone had a passport holder. The advent of the Find My tracker puts the passport wallet back in vogue and makes it even more useful.

Best Find My keychains Although its one of the most obvious uses for an AirTag, Apples device has no hole or loop for attaching it directly to a keyring. There are plenty of good-looking keychains that can host an Apple AirTagindeed we have reviewed a bunch of them in our roundup of the best AirTag accessories . The expansion of the whole Find My ecosystem means you dont have to choose Apple or AirTag, just certified Find My solutions, including these excellent third-party keyrings.

You can recharge it via standard USB-C rather than need to replace the battery every couple of years. This is more convenient, cheaper and better for the planet. Youll never look at your AirTag in the same way again. The Universal in the name means it is compatible with both Apple Find My and Android Find Hub.

It stands out a mile from all the other dull trackers out there. Indeed, it goes much further than that. It works with the two major Find apps (iOS and Android), but also connects to its own Chipolo app mentioned at the start of this article. You can buy a 4-pack of mixed colors for $90 / 90 . The only slight downside is that the POP uses the same replaceable CR2032 battery as the AirTag rather than being rechargeable itself. It works with both Apple Find My and Google Android Find Hub apps. Chipolo For Merc drivers (or wannabes) there is now the special Chipolo Loop (Mercedes-Benz Edition) including a brushed metal loop and matte black shell with the iconic chrome Star to keep with your car keys. Unlike the Benz cars, it is priced the same as the standard editions of the Loop (reviewed further up this chart). It is available direct from Chipolo , Mercedes-Benzs dealerships, and Amazon .

The $35 Orbitkey Universal Tracker will fit in one of the companys standard Key Organisers or you can slip it into pretty much anything you want tracked.

You can attach it to whatever you like (if you ask nicely) and it includes all the features youve loved since the AirTag. Ugreen has a version that, like Apples AirTag, has a replaceable CR2032 battery. While this means longer life between battery swaps, we prefer this USB-C-rechargeable model that is available in a 2-pack or 4-pack . Ugreen Ugreen also sells the FineTrack Mini 2 Tracker , pictured above, available in a four pack. The super-lightweightIP68 water/dust-proof FineTrack Mini 2 has a louder 110dB speaker volume, and comes with a detachable loop so you can attach it to a bag or keyring.

The LOC8 MagSafe Finder Wallet and Stand (pictured above left) holds up to five cards, secured with RFID protection.

Both are made from eco-conscious vegan leather. Both convert into a stand that can hold the iPhone in either portrait or landscape orientation.

All of the trackers reviewed here support Apples Find My app and functionality, and some can be switched over to Googles Android Find Hub if you change your phone to that platform. Using both networks simultaneously isnt possible due to Apple and Google policies and basic incompatibility between the Find My and Find Hub. To switch between the two networks, you must reset the tracker by removing it from the current app and then reconnect it on another device.

Apple Says iPhone 18 Pro Max Users With AT
Apple today confirmed that a small number of iPhone 18 Pro Max users on the AT&T network have experienced an issue that causes the device to lose cellular service, thereby preventing phone calls, text messages, and data from working. Thousands of users complained about the issue across the Apple Support Community and other platforms. Apple said it released iOS 27.0.1 earlier this week and an AT&T carrier settings update earlier today to help prevent more iPhone 18 Pro Max users from being impacted by this issue going forward. In a statement shared with MacRumors , Apple strongly encouraged all iPhone 18 Pro Max users to update to iOS 27.0.1 now. To install the update, open the Settings app on your iPhone and tap on General Software Update. The carrier settings update for the iPhone 18 Pro Max will automatically download for AT&T users over the next 14 days, according to Apple. To manually trigger the update, users can open the Settings app and tap on General About. Apple's full statement: We have identified an issue affecting a small number of iPhone 18 Pro Max users on the AT&T network that may cause a device to lose service and be unable to make calls. We released iOS 27.0.1 earlier this week and strongly encourage all iPhone 18 Pro Max users to update now, and are also issuing a carrier settings update today. These updates together are meant to help prevent this issue from occurring. Notably, Apple said that iPhone 18 Pro Max devices that have been affected by this cellular issue on the AT&T network cannot have service reactivated with a software update. Instead, Apple said the device must be replaced entirely, and it advises affected customers to contact Apple Support or AT&T, or visit an Apple Store or AT&T location. Apple said it has only observed this issue with iPhone 18 Pro Max users on the AT&T network. No other iPhone models or carriers are known to be impacted. Apple did not disclose the underlying cause of the issue. U.S. models of the iPhone 18 Pro Max rely on Qualcomm's Snapdragon X80 modem for cellular connectivity, while variants of the device sold in all other countries are equipped with Apple's custom C2 modem. It is unclear if this modem difference is a factor in this AT&T issue. It is also unclear if there will eventually be an Apple Service Program dedicated to this issue. In the meantime, it sounds like Apple Stores will replace affected iPhone 18 Pro Max devices for free, so book an appointment with the Genius Bar if necessary.

What Is LTPO Display Technology? How It Works, Benefits and Drawbacks Explained
Smartphone displays have come a long way in a short period of time. LCD panels, which once dominated the market, have been phased out in most segments in favour of more advanced display technologies. Today, buyers can choose from AMOLED, OLED, pOLED, and other types. Meanwhile, high-end smartphones are also increasingly advertised with another term LTPO. It is often mentioned alongside 120Hz refresh rates and always-on displays. However, LTPO is not simply another type of screen panel, but a backplane technology that helps a display dynamically adjust its refresh rate depending on what is being shown.

In a post on its developer news website today, Apple announced that it will be introducing additional controls for the Full Disk Access setting on macOS due to new risks posed by AI agents. This announcement comes amid the rise of always-on AI agents like Meta's Muse and OpenAI's Dots, which have prompted privacy concerns. Some developers are using Full Disk Access in ways that could put users at risk, exposing everything on their systemsincluding files, mail, messages, and even browsing historywithout users' full knowledge and understanding, said Apple. As AI agents become increasingly capable and autonomous, the risks associated with this level of access will grow substantially, it added. Here is the full text of Apple's announcement: We give developers powerful APIs to build incredible capabilities into their apps for Apple products, backed by a set of controls designed to protect users' private data. Full Disk Access largely sidesteps these controls in order to allow backup apps to function properly on the Mac. Some developers are using Full Disk Access in ways that could put users at risk, exposing everything on their systemsincluding files, mail, messages, and even browsing historywithout users' full knowledge and understanding. For communication apps, this can also compromise the privacy of the people users are communicating with. Going forward, we will introduce additional controls to ensure that users who genuinely wish to grant an app this extraordinary level of access can only do so with very explicit user action. Addressing this is critical. As AI agents become increasingly capable and autonomous, the risks associated with this level of access will grow substantially. We are committed to ensuring users clearly understand these risks before granting such access, so they can make informed decisions about their own data and privacy. Apple did not say when the new Full Disk Access controls will be implemented.
