iPhone 18 Pro and Foldable iPhone Could Sell Out Fast Due to Memory Shortage
The iPhone 18 Pro , iPhone 18 Pro Max, and foldable iPhone Ultra could be in short supply this year, leading to long wait times and an initial sellout during preorders. Semiconductor analyst Tim Culpan says Apple is having trouble getting enough DRAM to finish production of the new iPhone models, and chip supplier TSMC has $1 billion worth of unpackaged processors waiting on memory chips. Apple's new A20 Pro chips are built on TSMC's 2nm process and use Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Module packaging to integrate the processor and DRAM at the wafer level. Unfortunately, that means TSMC needs to have the DRAM on hand for assembly, and it can't be added at a later step. Apple is not able to stockpile finished dies and then add DRAM when it becomes available. Apple and its assemblers think they can meet initial demand, but retail inventory could sell quickly, leading to prolonged delivery estimates. The chip backlog will delay main logic board assembly and final device assembly, which could impact production at Foxconn and other assemblers. DRAM has been in short supply for months and has led to long wait times for the Mac Studio , Mac mini , and MacBook Air . Companies that make memory are prioritizing chips for AI data centers because those chips are more profitable, leaving little capacity available for manufacturing chips for consumer devices. We've had ongoing rumors about manufacturing issues with the iPhone Ultra due to the complexity of the design, and supplies of the new foldable could be the most limited of the three iPhone models. Some reports suggest the foldable iPhone could be introduced in September and then launch later, in October or November, but others say it will be available at the same time as the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. The iPhone Ultra is going to cost as much as $2,500, but the novel form factor and Apple's new Apple Upgrade pricing option could lead to more people being willing to shell out for the device. Apple is also expected to raise prices for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, and analysts believe the devices could be up to $300 more expensive because Apple is paying more for RAM. Last year, the iPhone Air , iPhone 17 Pro , and iPhone 17 Pro Max sold out during the preorder period, and shipping times extended into October . Along with potential production delays impacting supply, there will be no lower-cost iPhone 18 for people to choose this year, putting more pressure on iPhone 18 Pro supplies. Apple is not planning to launch the standard iPhone 18 until early 2027. If you're looking to get one of the new iPhone models in September, it's a good idea to preorder right when the devices become available for purchase to have the best chance of getting one on launch day.

Original iPhone Loses Its Last Cellular Network as T-Mobile Kills 2G
T-Mobile retired its 2G GSM network on Monday, August 3, which means all three major carriers in the United States have now ended 2G service. T-Mobile kept its 2G network active because it still had some legacy customers who were using it. Some customers visiting the United States and using international roaming carrier agreements for connectivity also needed 2G for voice calling, but T-Mobile worked with carriers globally to prepare for the end of its 2G network. Customers who were still on T-Mobile's 2G network were warned well ahead of time about the shutdown and given time to transition. Smartphones, alarm panels, payment terminals, and other IoT accessories that used 2G will no longer function. AT&T ended support for 2G almost a decade ago in 2017, and Verizon stopped supporting 2G in 2020. Now that no carriers in the U.S. support 2G, legacy devices like the original iPhone will not be able to connect to any cellular network. The iPhone technically lost cellular support in 2017 when AT&T sunset its 2G network, and now the last workaround is gone. All three carriers also ended support for 3G back in 2022, and have also abandoned early LTE iPhones without VoLTE support.

Apple fixes Screen Sharing vulnerability with macOS 26.6.1 update
Macworld Apple rarely releases an operating system update for just one of its OSes, and its just as rare that it fixes a single issue. Thats exactly what macOS 26.6.1, released today, is and does. Apples Security Releases page lists only a single fix, to Screen Sharing: An attacker on the network may be able to authenticate to Screen Sharing without valid credentials. The update is only for macOSthere are not updates for iOS, iPadOS, or any other OS equivalent. For those with older Macs that dont support macOS 26, Apple has released macOS 15.7.9 and 14.8.9 as well to address the same issue.

BMW Owners Angry Over Spider-Man Ads Appearing on Dashboard Screens
BMW has enraged customers by sending ads for Spider-Man: Brand New Day directly to in-car infotainment systems. An ad appears as a notification when starting the car, and when tapped, it plays a full-screen 19-second animation with music and a light show. The ad started going out on July 27, and it is set to continue through August 10. Cars built after July 2020 with BMW Operating System 7 or newer are displaying the Spider-Man promo in more than 70 markets. BMW owners on Reddit are understandably unhappy with the unsolicited ad showing up in their vehicles. One user said it's classless and tacky for a car that costs over $100,000, and another said it was disgusting. Others asked for an opt-out button, and predicted more ads would be shown in the future. Some users compared it to the U2 album Songs of Innocence that Apple pushed out to all iTunes users back in 2014. Apple did not allow users to decline or delete the album, leading to widespread backlash. Apple ultimately did add a tool for deleting the album. BMW sent out a press release highlighting the ad campaign in late July, claiming it was an exclusive Spider-Man animation that was a special surprise for BMW owners. To celebrate the partnership with Spider-ManTM: Brand New Day, BMW has a special surprise for its drivers. [...] Starting the car brings up a special banner in the Control Display. Clicking on it then activates the Spider-ManTM animation, comprising a full-screen festive animation in the Control Display with aptly chosen backing music and an accompanying light show courtesy of the ambient lighting system. The notification for the Spider-Man ad is going out to compatible vehicles automatically, but owners can avoid the ad by not tapping to play it after receiving the notification. It's also been added to the Festive app on the in-car system. In response to complaints, BMW told The Autopian the Spider-Man animation is not an ad and is part of a broader brand partnership with the film. BMW vehicles also appear in the Spider-Man movie. BMW has pushed similar animated videos for holidays in the past, but car owners found the Spider-Man video to be too close to a commercial. As Daring Fireball points out, BMW said in late 2023 that it would not sell advertising on its in-car displays. BMW was one of the first companies to adopt Apple's CarPlay system, and it has long been an Apple partner. The BMW notification is part of the default in-car operating system, and it does not appear as part of CarPlay.

Your old Mac and iPhone are suddenly worth a lot more
Macworld When Apple hiked prices on dozens of devices in late June, we were left wondering what that meant for trade-ins. Since Apple was charging more for new devices, we naturally assumed Apple should give us more for our older devices, too. Now they are. As spotted by 9to5Mac , Apple has raised trade-in values for most devices, including Android phones. Presumably this is because Apple will get more from the used devices on the secondary market, whether through resale or reused parts, due to the surging price of RAM and other components. Most notably, iPhone trade-in values have mostly all increased, going all the way back to the iPhone 8, which will net you $5 more than before ($40 versus $35). The only iPhones that havent been affected are the 16e, 14 Plus, 2nd-gen SE, X, and 8 Plus. Apple doesnt offer trade-in estimates for its newest iPhones, including the iPhone 17 series, Apple Watch Series 11, MacBook Neo, and other current devices. Here are a few highlights for the models it does offer: iPhone 16 Pro: Up to $630 ($70 more) iPhone 14 Pro Max: Up to $405 ($30 more) iPad: Up to $260 ($25 more) iPad mini: Up to $300 ($35 more) MacBook Pro: Up to $855 ($160 more) Mac Studio: Up to $1,305 ($270 more) Of course, the maximum value depends on the condition, configuration, and age of the device, and you can almost certainly get more by selling your device through eBay or some other third-party site. But if youre buying through Apple, the process is easy and straightforwardand now youre getting a little more, too, just in time for new iPhones, Apple Watches, and Macs this fall. You can check the trade-in value for your device on the Apple Trade In site .

Apple Vision Pro may have found its reason to exist
Macworld When Vision Pro hit shelves in February 2024 with a $3,499 price tag, it was clear that it wasnt going to be Apples next big seller. Not only did it cost more than most MacBook Pros, but it also didnt really have a reason for people to spend that much on a headset. There were barely any games, a handful of immersive experiences, and no real killer app to lure people in. Over two years later, the Vision Pro costs even more now (starting at $3,699 after a recent price hike) and still doesnt have a compelling reason for most people to buy one. However, a recent report puts Apples headset in a different light. According to a study conducted at the UC San Diego Shiley Eye Institute , Apple Vision Pro is a remarkably effective tool for endoscopic lacrimal surgery. So effective, in fact, it actually saves time and money. Among the studys findings: 19 percent shorter operative times 100 percent functional success with no intraoperative or postoperative complications Significantly lower surgeon-reported workload Improved ergonomics As the study explains, this surgery is ideal for Vision Pros design and functionality: Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (endoDCR) has become a mainstay in the surgical management of nasolacrimal duct (tear duct) obstruction and is now common practice among lacrimal surgeons. Compared with the traditional external approach, the endonasal route avoids a cutaneous incision and provides direct visualization of the intranasal surgical field while achieving comparable success rates.Because the procedure is performed entirely under nasal endoscopy, with the operative image displayed on an external monitor, it is a natural setting in which to evaluate a wearable, head-anchored display. According to Horace Dediu at Asymco , who assessed the cost and space impacts of the Vision Pro for the study, within the context of the operating room, the Apple Vision Pro is notable for being very small and very cheap. It is less than 1% of the cost and smaller than almost any piece of equipment. So while you and I might not have $3,699 to spend on a new Vision Pro, hospitals would actually be saving money by investing in the headset over their current equipment. And with an M5 chip and Siri AI, the Vision Pro could just be the next big thing for surgeons. After all, how many endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy monitors let you kick back and watch a movie on the moon when youre done with surgery.

iPhone 18 Pro Launching Next Month With These 12 New Features
It is now August, and that means the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are just a month away. The devices are expected to look similar to the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, but there will still be many year-over-year changes, with rumored features including a smaller Dynamic Island, 5G via satellite, and more. Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and a foldable iPhone Ultra in the first half of September , and the devices should be released in the second half of the month. The regular iPhone 18, a lower-end iPhone 18e, and a second-generation iPhone Air will reportedly be announced around March 2027 . It has been estimated that the U.S. starting prices of the iPhone 18 Pro models could be $200 to $300 more compared to the iPhone 17 Pro models. Below, we have recapped 12 features rumored for the iPhone 18 Pro models, as of August: Smaller Dynamic Island: It has been rumored that Face ID's flood illuminator will be moved under the screen on the iPhone 18 Pro models, paving the way for a smaller Dynamic Island on the devices. LTPO+ Displays: The next Pro models are expected to have the same overall design as the iPhone 17 Pro models , including 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch display sizes and a plateau housing three rear cameras. However, the displays will reportedly use so-called LTPO+ display technology , which should contribute to longer battery life. Variable Aperture: The main 48-megapixel Fusion camera on both iPhone 18 Pro models is rumored to have a variable aperture , which would allow users to control the amount of light that passes through the camera's lens and reaches the sensor. This would provide greater control over depth of field. However, given that iPhones have smaller image sensors due to smartphone size constraints, it is unclear exactly how meaningful this improvement would be. A20 Pro Chip: Apple's next-generation A20 Pro chip is expected to use TSMC's first-generation 2nm process, whereas the A19 Pro chip is 3nm. With a 2nm architecture and a new packaging design , the A20 Pro chip should deliver solid year-over-year performance and power efficiency gains. C2 Modem: Apple's custom C1 cellular modem for 5G and LTE debuted in the iPhone 16e last year, and that was followed by a C1X chip in the iPhone Air. Apple says the C1X modem is up to twice as fast as the C1 modem, and the most power-efficient modem in an iPhone ever. The improvements should continue with Apple's third-generation C2 modem in the iPhone 18 Pro models. 5G via Satellite: With the C2 modem, the iPhone 18 Pro models will reportedly support 5G via satellite for web browsing without Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity. N2 Chip: Most of the iPhone 17 models and the iPhone Air are equipped with an Apple-designed N1 chip that enables Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread. Apple says the N1 chip also improves the overall performance and reliability of features like Personal Hotspot and AirDrop. iPhone 18 Pro models are expected to have Apple's next-generation N2 chip, but it is not yet known what improvements would come with this upgrade. Dark Cherry: The special color for the iPhone 18 Pro models will reportedly be Dark Cherry , alongside Light Blue, Dark Gray, and Silver. The existing Cosmic Orange and Deep Blue colors are expected to be discontinued. Simplified Camera Control: Apple is expected to simplify the Camera Control button on the iPhone 18 Pro models, by removing touch sensitivity and haptic feedback. The redesigned button will only have pressure sensitivity. Redesigned Rear Ceramic Shield: The rear Ceramic Shield area for MagSafe is rumored to feature a more frosted and seamless appearance on the iPhone 18 Pro models compared to the current two-tone design. Larger Battery (iPhone 18 Pro Max): According to alleged Chinese regulatory database filings , the iPhone 18 Pro Max will have nearly a 10% larger battery compared to the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Thicker Design (iPhone 18 Pro Max): It has been rumored that the iPhone 18 Pro Max will be thicker than both the iPhone 17 Pro Max and the iPhone 18 Pro.

And since this is an unlocked phone, there arent any carrier pitfalls to navigate. The iPhone Air is Apples thinnest phone ever but still a powerhouse. Its got a 6.5-inch display with an A19 Pro processor and 256GB of storage, and an incredibly strong frame. It wont bend, break, or budge, but youll still barely know youre carrying it around due to its remarkable 5.6mm body. Youre only getting one camera with the iPhone Air, but its a good one. The iPhone Air has a 48MP Fusion camera system with 2X optical-quality zoom and digital zoom up to 10x. Youll miss out on features like macro mode, telephoto zoom, and spatial photos, but if you just want to be able to take your phone out and snap a great pic, itll be more than enough. And its a fine trade-off for how thin and light it is. Ive been using the iPhone Air since last September, and I dont think Ill ever switch to another iPhone. The screen size is perfect and thanks to the thinness, I can comfortably use it with one hand. My fingers never touch the camera plateau, so it feels like Im holding a thin piece of glass. Ill admit that at $999, the iPhone Air is a luxury item with too many tradeoffs for most people, but at this sale price of $849 , youll wonder why you didnt buy one earlier.
