Leak reveals four colors for Apple
Macworld If the latest reports are correct, were less than two weeks away from Apple revealing its long-rumored home hub device. If youre excited about it and already making plans on how to incorporate it into your home, then youll appreciate the latest report that reveals the colors of the new device. According to a post by itspdfu (who has previously posted leaks that have panned out), Apple will offer four colors for the new device: Rose Pink, Silver, Space Gray, and Starlight. The information was gleaned from a feature itspdfu discovered called Photo Face, which displays four background colors that seemingly match the color of the device. Apples Home device may come in four finishes: Silver, Space Gray, Starlight, and Rose Pink. The Photo Face setup screen picks its preview art based on the hardware color the device reports. The devices housing may also show in setup screens once device assets are available. https://t.co/8h4iF9OEsG pic.twitter.com/oRRTijUdkO pdfu (@itspdfu) October 1, 2026 Notably missing from the color choices is black, but Space Gray could come close enough, depending on the shade Apple uses. Starlight is a light bronze finish that has been offered on the MacBook Air, iPad, and AirPods Max. Apple has offered Rose Gold and Pink devices in the past, but Rose Pink is a new name. However, there were rumors that the iPhone 13 Pro Max was going to come in Rose Pink, but that color never shipped. The Home hub is expected to have a 6-inch display and come in two forms: a design reminiscent of the iMac G4, and another that is mounted to a wall. Its not clear if Apple will reveal the new smart home products at an event, but rumors point to October 13 as a possible launch date.

Apple's iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max models come in four distinct color options, so which should you choose? The iPhone 18 Pro models come in Black, Silver, Glacier, and Burgundy. The aluminum and glass backs are more closely matched than on the iPhone 17 Pro, although the different materials remain somewhat visible. You should also consider if you plan to use a case with your device and, if so, which one. The iPhone 18 Pro's large, full-width camera plateau stands out on most cases, exposing more of the device's color. Choosing a complimentary color should be your first priority. Burgundy Burgundy is the most distinct and expressive iPhone 18 Pro finish, and it is much darker than the iPhone 17 Pro's equivalent Cosmic Orange. It looks closer to wine or plum than a vivid red. Burgundy is the standout shade in the iPhone 18 Pro lineup, designed to be bold and attention-grabbing. It is the most noticeable iPhone 18 Pro color, and the most likely to indicate that you have the latest generation devicethere has never been an iPhone color option like it before. Apple offers Burgundy Silicone and TechWoven cases if you want the phone and case to look closely coordinated. With a contrasting case, the large, exposed plateau becomes a prominent patch of red-purple. That is worth considering if you like to change between bright case colors: Burgundy will remain part of every combination. A clear case shows more of the finish, although Apple's white MagSafe ring covers part of the back. Burgundy is the clearest way to distinguish this generation by color, but anyone hoping for a bright red iPhone may be disappointed. Choose Burgundy if you want a distinctive, dark color that remains noticeable even when the phone is in a case. Glacier Glacier is a cool, pale blue that gives the iPhone a much softer look than Burgundy. It is much lighter than the iPhone 17 Pro's Deep Blue, yet it does not disappear into Silver; in-person , it still looks distinctly blue. Glacier is a useful middle ground if you want gentle color with some saturation, without making it the strongest feature of the phone. The exposed camera plateau gives an opaque case a light blue accent, while a clear case reveals most of the finish. Apple's clear case has a large white MagSafe ring, however, so it does not leave the back completely unobstructed. Apple sells blue cases in shades such as Crisp Blue and Chambray Blue, but neither is named Glacier. If you want the case and phone to match precisely, it may be best to compare them in person; otherwise, a clear or neutral case lets Glacier stand on its own. Choose Glacier if you want an iPhone with a fresh, subtle, and light appearance. Silver Silver is the most classic, versatile, and timeless option, but also the most practical. The finish gives off a clean and bright look that pairs well with virtually any case or wallpaper, and it reflects light more than the other three colors, making it quite neutral. Its aluminum has a metallic sheen that leans toward white in some lighting conditions. This year, the two rear materials are the same tone, making the new model look much more cohesive than the two-tone Silver iPhone 17 Pro. Silver is also the most adaptable color for cases. The exposed silver plateau provides a crisp, light accent against a dark case and sits more quietly beside a pale one. The color is likely to age well since it goes well with any case and embodies Apple's most traditional colors. It is also the only finish of the three that pairs well with Apple's own clear case. The clear case's white MagSafe ring is less of a visual interruption here than it is against Black or Burgundy. If you frequently change cases, Silver is unlikely to compete with your next choice. Unlike Burgundy or Black, Silver minimizes the appearance of damage. When the anodized layer chips or scratches, the raw aluminum underneath is very close in tone, so imperfections blend in far better. For users who prioritize long-term durability of appearance, Silver is the most forgiving finish. It may not be as dramatic as Burgundy or as sleek as Black, but it is the safest choice for maintaining a like-new look over years of use. Choose Silver if you want a classic, flexible look that mitigates the signs of damage. Black Black returns after the iPhone 17 Pro offered Deep Blue as its darkest option. It offers a dark, neutral look without Deep Blue's blue cast. A black case makes the exposed camera plateau blend into the rest of the phone. A light or colorful case has the opposite effect, framing a broad dark section across the top. Apple's clear case also makes its white MagSafe ring particularly noticeable against Black, so it is less suited to an uninterrupted all-black look. If a deep chip or scratch exposes bare aluminum, its lighter color would stand out against this finish, especially on the plateau that Apple's cases leave uncovered. Anyone using the device without a case should be prepared for more noticeable damage. If visible marks would bother you and you plan to go without a case, Silver may be a better fit. Choose Black if you want a dark, stealthy, and professional look, but be willing to accept signs of wear and tear.

Samsung Launches Galaxy Buds On: Open-Ear Clip Earbuds With Gemini Live
Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy Buds On , marking the global technology brands first entry into the open-ear clip-on wireless earbuds market. Engineered to prioritize long-term wearing comfort and situational awareness during outdoor athletic activities, the earbuds utilize an open acoustic architecture that leaves the ear canal completely unobstructed for extended daily listening sessions without causing physical ear fatigue. To ensure structural stability across diverse ear anatomies, Samsung conducted extensive anatomical simulations and demographic data analysis to balance internal speaker and battery component mass. The ergonomic clip-on chassis distributes clamping pressure evenly, providing a reliable, secure grip during rigorous workouts and high-movement sports. Internally, the hardware is powered by Qualcomms Snapdragon S7 Gen 1 Sound Platform , delivering highly efficient digital audio processing and up to 9.5 hours of continuous music playback on a single battery charge. Acoustic performance directly addresses traditional open-ear challenges through custom TwinBoost speakers , which reinforce low-frequency bass output often compromised in non-occluding designs. An integrated automatic volume control dynamically recalibrates gain levels according to changing ambient environmental noise conditions. To maintain personal privacy in quiet settings such as offices or libraries, dedicated Audio Leakage Reduction technology minimizes external sound dispersion. For telecommunications, the earbuds integrate a triple-microphone array , a bone-conduction Voice Pickup Sensor , and Intelligent Clear Call algorithms to isolate human speech from disruptive environmental background noise. Smart software features form a central pillar of the overall device experience. The earbuds support native Gemini Live integration, enabling natural, real-time conversational assistance via hands-free voice triggers. Users can record instant voice memos through a long-press capacitive gesture, with Samsungs Bixby indexing these recordings for future voice-based search retrieval. Additionally, built-in intuitive head gesture controls allow users to accept or decline incoming phone calls, dismiss morning alarms, and review smartphone notifications using natural head movements without manual touch input. In terms of new releases by the South Korean giant, also check out the Galaxy Tab S12 Series . Availability and Price The Galaxy Buds On will launch first in South Korea on October 27, 2026 , priced at KRW 299,000 (roughly $220 ). Samsung plans to expand broad commercial retail availability to other international markets in subsequent scheduled rollout phases worldwide.

NVIDIA DLSS 5 Can Now Run On Unsupported GPUs Via Custom Mod
Independent software engineer and developer Andrew Sampson has released a custom implementation of DLSS 5 Neural Rendering and Frame Generation within the Borderless Gaming utility, enabling advanced artificial intelligence visual reconstruction and upscaling on graphics processing units lacking official NVIDIA support. The community-driven software integration effectively expands modern machine learning graphics enhancements across diverse PC hardware categories bypassed by standard proprietary platform hardware restrictions. Operating directly through a specialized compositor-level BGFX frame capture framework, the utility functions seamlessly without invoking official proprietary NVIDIA software libraries, tampering with local game installation directories, or manually swapping internal dynamic link library (DLL) runtime dependencies. By capturing and intercepting graphical frames directly at the desktop compositor layer , the utility ensures broad operational compatibility across multiple game engines without modifying protected core system installation files. To achieve functional performance across uncertified PC hardware, Sampson quantized the underlying machine learning model and systematically eliminated architectural bottlenecks across the neural network pipeline . These aggressive software optimizations allow the neural rendering framework to execute reliably on a significantly wider array of consumer graphics cards. For instance, unsupported legacy GPUs such as the GeForce RTX 3090 can execute the rendering pipeline, sustaining around 30 frames per second depending on individual video game complexity and target display resolutions. The integrated Frame Generation capability relies on an independently trained machine learning model conditioned on tens of thousands of hours of continuous interactive gameplay footage . This broad training dataset eliminates the requirement for per-title developer patches, community driver hooks, or customized profile configurations. Additionally, the system does not run automatically out of the box, ensuring that dormant shader assets consume zero background computing resources when inactive. Distribution occurs via an open-source post-processing shader hosted on GitHub . Users incorporate the technology by entering the direct repository URL into the Borderless Gaming management interface. Once properly initialized, the software provides extensive user-facing controls to fine-tune detailed image characteristics. Players can adjust key rendering parameters, including effect intensity , structural detail , ambient lighting , artistic style , and internal processing resolution, to balance visual fidelity against operational rendering latency.

Photon Studio: Meet The Free Photoshop Rival With Local AI And No Subscriptions
A new open-access desktop software competitor to Adobe Photoshop has officially launched without recurring subscription fees, artificial intelligence credit tokens, or paid perpetual licenses. Developed by Tenzen Studio , Photon Studio is a completely free image-editing application that successfully attracted over $1,279 in community donations within its first three days of commercial public release. Available natively across Windows , Linux , and macOS platforms, the software does not present in-app purchases, paid tier upgrades, or restrictive feature paywalls during everyday professional workflows. To ease the digital transition for creators switching from legacy editing suites, Photon Studio provides full native compatibility with standard Photoshop .psd project files . It also mirrors Photoshops established interface architecture, keyboard shortcuts, multi-layer handling , layer masks , and professional color adjustment workflows within a sleek, customizable, and fully multilingual operating environment. Photon Studio, fully featured photoshop alternative, is now on Microsoft Store, and for Free! 41% of the user base of photon are windows users, now you can install it directly from the store. Link in the comments pic.twitter.com/mkUzMv5DAu Tenzen Studio (@tenzenstudio) September 30, 2026 Performance optimization stands as a primary engineering focus for the developer. In comparative technical evaluations, the application consumes 41% less RAM than Photoshop. Furthermore, it consistently records cold startup and active project load times roughly twice as fast as Affinity , an alternative creative suite traditionally recognized for lightweight hardware resource demands. https://tenzen.studio/assets/videos/photon_hero.mp4 A central cornerstone of the applications foundational design philosophy is strict user privacy . Tenzen Studio formally guarantees that imported personal creative user images are never uploaded to remote cloud servers or harvested to train external neural networks. Instead, smart object selection , universal function search, and assistive generative utilities execute entirely on-device using efficient local AI models installed directly onto the host PC. https://tenzen.studio/assets/videos/photon_layers.mp4 While early public builds show reliable operational stability, a few minor issues remain evident. These early drawbacks include occasional untranslated menu strings, inconsistent behavior when applying complex advanced masks , and reduced UI fluidity across busy canvas projects containing hundreds of independent graphical elements. Tenzen Studio has publicly committed to addressing these specific edge cases in imminent routine software maintenance patches to enhance overall system responsiveness. Download Photon Studio is available for immediate download as a free standalone installer through the official Tenzen Studio website and can also be acquired directly via the Microsoft Store on modern Windows machines.

What will Paris firm change at Ahmedabad's Sabarmati Ashram? 23 museums and a Parisian vision
Highlights: Paris-based Museum Studio is designing 23 museums at Sabarmati Ashram. The redevelopment project spans nearly 50 acres along the Sabarmati River. Research on Gandhi's 19171930 years at the ashram began in January. The proposed displays include digital exhibits, murals, sculptures and audiovisual content. The project aims to introduce Gandhi's principles to a new generation. For decades, Sabarmati Ashram has stood as a reminder of Mahatma Gandhis simple lifestyle and his role in Indias freedom struggle. Its modest surroundings, spinning wheel, and association with the Dandi March have made it a landmark of Indias history. Now, the historic site is preparing for a significant transformation, with plans for 23 museums that could change how visitors experience Gandhis life and legacy. A Paris-based firm, Museum Studio, is designing the museums in collaboration with Ecofirst, a Tata group subsidiary. The project is part of a redevelopment initiative that seeks to expand the ashram into a major visitor destination while preserving its historical significance. The design of the museums is being done by Museum Studio of Paris, and they have a consortium partner, a subsidiary of Tata Engineering Services called Ecofirst. They are the curators, said an official closely associated with the project, as reported by PTI on Thursday (1). From a quiet retreat to a 50-acre redevelopment iStock Established by Gandhi in 1917, Sabarmati Ashram served as his home during a defining period of the independence movement. It was here that he lived simply, experimented with community life and prepared for the historic Dandi March. The Gujarat government launched the redevelopment project in 2021, envisioning a transformed ashram spread across nearly 50 acres along the Sabarmati River. The Mahatma Gandhi Sabarmati Ashram Memorial Trust oversees the project. Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel heads its governing council, while retired IAS officer I.P. Gautam leads its executive council. The redevelopment is being carried out with the vision and inspiration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, according to the official. Four months of research to tell Gandhis story Before the design work began, a Tata research team spent four months studying Gandhis life at the ashram between 1917 and 1930. The findings were presented to a content advisory committee at a meeting on April 21. The committee brings together museum professionals, historians and experts in Gandhian literature. Its members include Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh Narayan Singh, philanthropist Rajshree Birla, National Commission for Scheduled Castes Chairman Kishor Makwana, Gujarat Vidyapith Vice Chancellor Dr. Harshad Patel, museum professionals Sabyasachi Mukherjee and Rajarama Yagnik, Indian Institute of Heritage Pro-Vice-Chancellor Dr. Manvi Seth, and historian Rizwan Qadri. After further discussions in July and August, the content plan was finalized and sent to Paris for design. From South Africa to the banks of the Sabarmati The museums will focus on Gandhis years in India, particularly the period when he brought ideas and experiments from South Africa to Sabarmati. We are trying to emphasise Mahatma Gandhi's stay from 1915 to 1930, those 15 years, because Mahatma ji extended his learnings from Tolstoy Farm in South Africa here. He repeated that experiment and turned lakhs of people into Gandhians, the official said. The planned exhibitions are expected to explore this formative chapter of Gandhis life and the community he built around his principles. Getty Images Will technology reshape the visitor experience? The proposed museums could bring together a range of formats, from traditional displays to digital storytelling. Plans include audiovisual presentations, digital exhibits, murals, and sculptures. But the designs are still subject to review. Experts from the National Institute of Design will examine the proposals to ensure they reflect the historical and cultural context of Gandhis life. Once the designs receive approval, Ecofirst will handle the curation, with the Indian Institute of Heritage supervising the process to ensure that the exhibitions remain consistent with the approved design. The challenge lies in balancing innovation with the spirit of a place known for its simplicity. How the new museums will integrate with the existing ashram remains an important part of the projects unfolding story. Preserving values for a new generation For all the planned changes, the projects stated ambition goes beyond architecture and technology. Its central purpose is to introduce Gandhis ideas to younger visitors and make them relevant to contemporary audiences. It is a collective effort involving experts in literature, museums, design, and communication. Ultimately, we want to convey Gandhiji's principles, truth, non-violence, non-possession, and non-cooperation to the new generation, the official said. As the designs take shape in Paris, Sabarmati Ashram stands at the threshold of a new chapter. The question is not only what the 23 museums will look like, but also how they will preserve the experience of a place whose historical significance has long rested on its simplicity.

MacBook Pro With OLED Touch Screen Rumored to Launch in October or November
On his first-ever Power On podcast today, Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman said that he believes Apple will introduce its long-rumored 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with touch-enabled OLED displays in October or November this year. Apple, I believe, will introduce its first touchscreen MacBook Pro this fall, as early as October, he said. It could slip to November, but as early as October. Apple is testing the laptops with macOS 27.2, which is currently in beta, he added. The software update is expected to be released towards the end of October, so the touch-screen MacBook Pro models might be announced later this month. Other rumored features beyond an OLED touch screen include Apple's existing M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, a thinner design, and a Dynamic Island instead of a notch. A few years ago, Gurman reported that Apple was looking into the idea of cellular Macs that would be able to connect to a 5G or LTE network without relying on an iPhone's hotspot. For this reason, some Apple fans are hopeful that the touch-screen MacBook Pro models will be equipped with the company's custom-designed C1X or C2 modem. The touch-screen models are expected to be positioned above the regular 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, which will reportedly jump to the M7 Pro and M7 Max chips next year. It is unclear if the touch-screen models will still have MacBook Pro branding, or if Apple will opt for something unique like MacBook Ultra.

Best time to buy AirPods in 2026: Buy now or wait?
Macworld If youre planning to buy AirPods, timing your purchase can make a big difference to how much you pay. Apple rarely discounts AirPods itself, but retailers frequently cut prices particularly around Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday. October 2026 is an interesting time to buy because Apple has recently refreshed much of the range. The AirPods 5 launched in September 2026, joining the AirPods Pro 3 , introduced in September 2025, and the AirPods Max 2 , which arrived earlier in 2026. That means there is relatively little reason to wait for an imminent replacement if you want one of Apples current range of AirPods . There is, however, a very good reason to wait a few days if youre reading this at the beginning of October: Amazons October Prime Day sale takes place on October 6 and 7, and AirPods regularly receive substantial discounts during major sales events. In this guide well explain when the best time is to buy each AirPods model, whether you should buy now or wait, which older AirPods are worth considering at clearance prices, and the times of year when youre most likely to find a bargain. When to buy AirPods: At a glance When AirPods 5 AirPods Pro 3 AirPods Max 2 October 2026 Buy during Prime Day Buy during Prime Day WaBuy during Prime Day November 2026 Buy during Black Friday sales Buy during Black Friday sales Buy during Black Friday sales December 2026 Buy Buy Buy Early 2027 Buy Buy Buy Best AirPods deals right now U.S. AirPods Pro 3 : $234 ($15 off, MSRP $249) AirPods 5: $129 ($0 off, MSRP $129) AirPods Max 2: $479 ($80 off, MSRP $549) U.K. AirPods Pro 3 : 200 (19 off, RRP 219) AirPods Max 1 : 424 Clearance What is the worst time to buy AirPods? The worst time to buy AirPods is generally immediately before a major sale, or just before Apple replaces the model youre considering. Thats particularly relevant right now. Amazons October Prime Day sale takes place on October 6 and 7, so paying full price for AirPods just a few days before the sale would make little sense unless you need them immediately. What is the best time to buy AirPods? Major sales events are generally the best time to buy AirPods. Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday are particularly worth watching because Apples headphones and earbuds frequently receive significant retailer discounts. The savings can be substantial. AirPods Pro 3 have previously dropped from their $249 MSRP to $169, while AirPods Max 2 have already been available for $399 rather than $549. That doesnt mean you should never buy between sales. If the AirPods you want are already close to their historical low, theres little reason to wait simply because another sales event will eventually arrive. Should you buy AirPods now or wait? For most people, yes but wait for Prime Day if you can Foundry For most people, October 2026 is a good time to buy AirPods but wait until the October 67 Prime Day sale if you can. Apple has recently refreshed the standard AirPods and AirPods Max ranges, while AirPods Pro 3 are only around a year old. That removes much of the risk that comes with buying immediately before a product refresh. The bigger question is therefore not whether a new generation is about to arrive, but whether you can get the current model at a good price. Read our AirPods Buying Guide to understand how the different AirPods compare and find out which is best for you. Model Our advice AirPods 5 Buy, but wait for Prime Day if possible AirPods Pro 3 Buy, particularly when discounted AirPods Max 2 Buy only if you specifically want Apples over-ear headphones; look for a substantial discount AirPods 4 Clearance purchase only AirPods Pro 2 Consider only at a significant discount Should you buy AirPods 5 now or wait? Buy but wait for a Prime Day discount if you can. We recommend: Apple AirPods 5 Price When Reviewed: $129 Best Prices Today: $129 at Amazon | $129 at Apple | $129 at B&H The AirPods 5 only arrived in September 2026, so theres little reason to wait for another generation. They are also much easier to recommend than the AirPods 4 they replace because Active Noise Cancellation is now standard. AirPods 5 start at $129 with a USB-C charging case. Apple also sells a $149 version with a Wireless Charging Case, which adds wireless charging, a speaker for Find My, volume adjustment by swiping the stems and slightly longer battery life. The new generation also brings improved sound and stronger noise cancellation. Apple says AirPods 5 remove up to 50 percent more external noise than AirPods 4 with ANC. We think the $149 Wireless Charging Case version is the better choice for most buyers because it costs only $20 more and adds several useful features. Our recommendation : Buy AirPods 5 if you prefer an open-ear design. If you arent in a hurry, wait until Prime Day on October 67 to see whether either version is discounted. Should you buy AirPods Pro 3 now or wait? Buy particularly if you find them well below $249. We recommend: Apple AirPodsPro 3 Price When Reviewed: $249 Best Prices Today: $229 at Best Buy US | $234 at Amazon | $235 at B&H AirPods Pro 3 launched in September 2025 and remain Apples most capable earbuds. They improve on AirPods Pro 2 with a more comfortable and secure fit, stronger noise cancellation, improved battery life and a heart-rate sensor. They also have a significant battery-life advantage over AirPods 5, lasting up to eight hours with ANC enabled compared with four or five hours for the two AirPods 5 packages. AirPods Pro 3 additionally support Apples Hearing Test, Hearing Aid and Hearing Protection features. Their $249 price is much higher than the $129/$149 AirPods 5, but discounts can dramatically narrow that gap. AirPods Pro 3 have previously fallen as low as $169, making sales events particularly attractive times to buy. Our recommendation : Buy if you want the strongest noise isolation, longer battery life, a secure in-ear fit or Apples health and hearing features. At full price, compare carefully with AirPods 5; at a substantial discount, AirPods Pro 3 become much more compelling. Should you buy AirPods Max 2 now or wait? Buy if you specifically want AirPods Max but look for a discount rather than paying $549. We recommend: Apple AirPods Max 2 Price When Reviewed: $549 Best Prices Today: $479 at Walmart | $495 at Best Buy US | $509.99 at Amazon AirPods Max 2 are relatively new, so waiting for an imminent replacement isnt the main concern. The bigger issue is value. The second-generation model adds the H2 chip and features including Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, Voice Isolation and Live Translation. Sound quality, Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode remain excellent. However, our review found that Apple failed to address several longstanding complaints, including the headphones weight, Smart Case and inability to be switched off manually. That makes the price particularly important. AirPods Max 2 cost $549, but the updated Prime Day roundup has already recorded a $399 deal $150 below MSRP. Our recommendation : Dont wait because Apple isnt expected to update the AirPods Max soon. Instead, wait for a good discount unless you particularly want them immediately. Should you buy AirPods 4? Only at a substantial clearance discount. We recommend: Apple AirPods 4 (with ANC) Price When Reviewed: $179 with Active Noise Cancelation Best Prices Today: $89 at Walmart | $149 at B&H | $149.99 at Best Buy AirPods 5 have replaced AirPods 4 and now include Active Noise Cancellation as standard while starting at the same $129 MSRP previously charged for AirPods 4 without ANC. That makes older AirPods 4 difficult to recommend unless retailers cut their prices significantly. The standard model fell to $99 during Prime Day, but now that AirPods 5 cost $129, wed want to see an even lower clearance price before choosing the older generation. Our recommendation : Buy the ANC equipped version only if the price is exceptionally low. Should you buy AirPods Pro 2? Only at a significant discount. We recommend: AirPods Pro 2 USB-C Price When Reviewed: $249 Best Prices Today: $173.99 at Walmart | $239 at Best Buy US | $249 at Apple AirPods Pro 2 are still capable earbuds, but AirPods Pro 3 improve the fit, battery life and noise cancellation and add heart-rate sensing. The older model can still make sense if retailers are clearing stock at a sufficiently low price. But the closer its price gets to a discounted pair of AirPods Pro 3, the less attractive it becomes. Our recommendation : Consider AirPods Pro 2 only if theyre substantially cheaper than AirPods Pro 3 and you dont need the newer models heart-rate feature. Should you buy older or refurbished AirPods? Screenshot Foundry Older AirPods can make sense when retailers are clearing stock, but compare the price with the model that replaced them rather than focusing on the percentage discount from the original MSRP. You should also be careful when buying an older generation simply because it appears heavily discounted. The percentage saving can be misleading if the replacement model offers significantly more for a similar price. AirPods 5, for example, start at the same $129 price originally charged for AirPods 4 without ANC, but now include Active Noise Cancellation as standard. You should be particularly cautious when buying AirPods from marketplaces or unfamiliar sellers. Counterfeit AirPods can closely resemble genuine products, and unusually low prices particularly on second-hand marketplaces can be a warning sign. If youre considering an older model, check the exact generation, charging case and condition, and make sure the seller is reputable. When does Apple release new AirPods? Unlike the iPhone, AirPods dont follow a simple annual update schedule. AirPods Pro 3 launched in September 2025, AirPods Max 2 followed in 2026, and Apple introduced AirPods 5 in September 2026. Because the three main AirPods families have all been updated relatively recently, the current lineup doesnt present the obvious wait because a replacement is imminent problem that sometimes occurs with Apple products.

More evidence emerges of an imminent Apple device launch
Macworld Following a report Wednesday that Apple is planning to launch three new smart-home products on October 13, more evidence has emerged to indicate that something is indeed coming soon. According to a report from MacRumors , Apple retail stores have received packages that arent to be opened until October 8. The site claims it has multiple sources that confirm Apple Stores around the world have received confidential boxes with instructions to not open them until October 8. The boxes appear to contain new visual merchandise, which enables workers to update labels, graphics, and product layouts in stores around the release of new products. Of course, Apple is also launching the iPhone Duo this month, with in-store availability beginning on October 23. However, as MacRumors notes, its unlikely that there would be secrecy around those displays, as the product has already been announced and new store displays are very much expected to go up around that time. Weve heard about stores receiving displays ahead of events and launches before, but its rare for Apple Stores to get information about new devices before the general public. So if the report is accurate, a date of October 8 would indicate that Apple plans to announce something next week rather than, or in addition to, October 13. Its also worth noting that Apple Stores dont generally advertise new products until theyre available for purchase or at least on display. So if stores are changing their signage for October 9, it would indicate that something new will be available. Apple is expected to launch at least three new smart-home devices, including an updated Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini, as well as a new smart-home hub . Its not uncommon for Apple to space out announcements on multiple days when there isnt an official event.

iPhone 18 Pro Aperture Control Goes Fully Manual in Halide 3.2
Award-winning camera app Halide Mark III has been updated to version 3.2, bringing dedicated support for iPhone 18 Pro by broadening user control over the device's new variable aperture camera system. Apple's stock Camera app lets iPhone 18 Pro owners choose from a four-stop variable aperture ranging from /1.48 to /4.0, delivering around 50 percent better low-light performance and giving users more optical control over depth of field. Halide 3.2 does away with that four-stop limitation and instead lets you select any -stop setting within the camera's full range. There are two styles of aperture control in the app. The first is Aperture Priority mode, where you can set the -stop and the app handles the shutter speed and ISO to properly expose the shot. The other style is Manual mode, which gives users full control over all three settings. This includes ISO settings something that Apple's stock Camera app doesn't offer manual control over. Halide has said it is also considering adding f-stop presets in future updates, based on user feedback. Elsewhere in this update though, Halide 3.2 adds two new film simulations, or photographic looks: Dawn and Quicksilver. Dawn features filmic warmth in mid-tones and highlights, paired with rich yet gentle shadows and subtle complementary cool colors. Quicksilver is described as a high contrast and muted color that simulates a silver-retention alternative process. Halide's developers call it an excellent midpoint between color and stark black-and-white. Lastly, version 3.2 introduces a new 16:9 aspect ratio shooting mode for those who want to use a wider framing. iPhone 18 Pro: Using the New Variable Aperture Lens Halide 3.2 is available to download on the App Store , and costs $69.99 as a one-time purchase price, or $19.99 for an annual subscription.

iPhone Duo Guide: Everything you need to know about Apple
Macworld The iPhone Duo , Apples first foldable iPhone , will be available to pre-order on October 16 and goes on sale October 23 . Buyers can begin Apples Get Ready process on October 12, allowing them to choose their configuration and prepare payment, trade-in and delivery details before orders officially open. The Duo opens like a book from a compact 5.4-inch phone into a much larger 7.6-inch device. Apple describes the internal screen as its largest-ever iPhone display, with 50 percent more screen area than the iPhone 18 Pro Max , while the outer display provides more than 90 percent of the screen area of an iPhone 18 Pro . The biggest change is obviously the folding design , but Apple has done more than simply add a hinge. The iPhone Duo will ship with iOS 27.1 , which adapts to different positions and orientations with fold-specific interface and multitasking features. These include Split View, hands-free FaceTime and video, StandBy without charging, and layouts that move seamlessly between the two screens. Apple Pencil USB-C support is also coming later in 2026. The other major changes are the 7.6-inch nano-texture inner display , Touch ID replacing Face ID , an A20 Pro processor with vapor-chamber cooling , and a dual-battery system designed around the two halves of the phone. Apple has also introduced camera features that exploit the second screen, including Duo Preview, Smart Take, Kid Cue and Duo FaceTime. Much of the pre-launch reporting proved accurate: the Duo name, book-style design, roughly 7.7- and 5.4-inch screens, Touch ID, two 48MP rear cameras, two front-facing cameras, A20 Pro, C2 modem, MagSafe and the white/dark-blue colours were all anticipated. iPhone Duo at a glance Apples first folding iPhone , with 5.4-inch outer and 7.6-inch inner displays.

Apple unveiled the iPhone Duo on September 9, 2026 , but unlike the iPhone 18 Pro models it wont arrive until October. From Monday, October 12 , Apple will let customers Get Ready for iPhone Duo pre-orders . Through the Apple Store app, buyers will be able to choose their preferred color and storage capacity, select a carrier, arrange a trade-in or financing, choose AppleCare+, and enter payment and delivery information in advance. That should make placing the final order considerably quicker once pre-orders open. Pre-orders begin on Friday, October 16 , at 1 p.m. in the U.K. and 5 a.m. Pacific in the U.S. The iPhone Duo officially goes on sale one week later on Friday, October 23 , in more than 70 countries and regions, including the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, China, France, Germany, India and Japan. A further 28 countries and regions will get it on October 30. Pre-order iPhone Duo at Apple U.S. Pre-order iPhone Duo at Apple U.K. It will be available directly from Apple online and through Apple Stores, with carrier availability varying by market. Initial supplies may be limited.A late-September supply-chain report claimed Apple and its manufacturing partners were still experiencing relatively low production yields for the new folding design. iPhone Duo design: What does it look like? The iPhone Duo opens up like a book. Apple The iPhone Duo uses a book-style folding design . Closed, it is unusually short and wide for an iPhone, measuring 84.1mm wide, 117.8mm tall and 11.3mm thick . Open it and the width expands to 164.6mm , while thickness reduces to just 5.2mm , making it Apples thinnest iPhone when unfolded (taking that mantle from the iPhone Air). It weighs 254g . The outer screen measures 5.4 inches , while the folding inner panel measures 7.6 inches . Both are Super Retina XDR OLED displays with ProMotion up to 120Hz, Always-On display support and up to 3,000 nits outdoor peak brightness. The internal display also has a nano-texture surface designed to reduce reflections and make the crease less noticeable. The frame and hinge cover are made from Grade 5 titanium . Apple uses a mirror-polished finish on the enclosure and a micro-blasted finish on the 3D-printed hinge cover. Ceramic Shield protects the rear, while Ceramic Shield 2 protects the outer display. The phone retains an IP68 rating despite its folding construction. The hinge from the outside. Apple There are just two colors: Star White and Night Sky , essentially confirming the pre-event reports of silver/white and a very dark blue. For more information read about the iPhone Duo colors. Action button and Camera Control There is Camera Control , giving access to exposure, depth, zoom, cameras, styles and tone. It can also launch the new Siri Camera mode. However, Apples Duo doesnt feature an Action button . The regular iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max retain both the Action button and Camera Control, so this is one hardware-control compromise of the folding model. Accessories Apple is also launching two dedicated accessories for the foldable: The iPhone Duo Case at $79/79 The Duo Folio with Kickstand at $129/129 Both will be orderable from October 16. Face ID, Touch ID and the notch Perhaps the most surprising difference between the iPhone Duo and Apples other flagship iPhones is that there is no Face ID . Instead, Apple has brought back Touch ID , with the fingerprint sensor incorporated into the side button. It works whether the Duo is folded or unfolded, and Apple Watch can also be used to unlock the device. This confirms one of the most persistent pre-launch rumors. The internal display therefore does not need the TrueDepth sensors used for Face ID. Its FaceTime camera sits beneath the display and disappears when it isnt being used , giving the inner screen a largely uninterrupted surface. The inner camera itself is hidden below the display rather than sitting permanently in a visible camera cutout. And yet, despite this and the absence of Face ID, there is still support for Dynamic Island . iPhone Duo cameras: What cameras does it have? There are two cameras on the rear. Apple The Duo has a 48MP Dual Fusion camera system , comprising: Camera Resolution Equivalent focal length Aperture Fusion Main 48MP 26mm f/1.6 2x crop from Main 12MP 52mm f/1.6 Fusion Ultra Wide 48MP 13mm f/2.2 Outer front camera 12MP f/2.2 Inner FaceTime camera Apple does not specify resolution f/1.8 The Duo does not have variable aperture . Variable aperture is exclusive to the 48MP Fusion Main camera in the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. The biggest camera features for iPhone Duo Duo Preview The outer screen can show a live preview while somebody else is being photographed, allowing the subject to adjust their pose and framing. Smart Take and Kid Cue Smart Take detects when everybody is ready and automatically captures the shot. Kid Cue uses animations on the outer screen to encourage children to look towards the camera. Two-screen shooting The folding design supports unusual shooting configurations, including using the main cameras for selfies or group photos while seeing the composition on the other screen. Duo FaceTime can also put nearby participants onto the outer display. Other notable camera features include 48MP macro photography, a 2x optical-quality crop from the Main camera, an under-display inner FaceTime camera, Dual Capture for simultaneous front-and-rear video, and 4K Dolby Vision recording at up to 120fps. Rear cameras The 48MP Fusion Main has an f/1.6 aperture, sensor-shift stabilization and can shoot 24MP or 48MP images. It also provides a 12MP, 2x optical-quality crop equivalent to a 52mm lens. The 48MP Fusion Ultra Wide has a 13mm-equivalent lens, f/2.2 aperture and 120-degree field of view. It also supports 48MP macro photography and is the same Ultra Wide camera used by the iPhone 18 Pro family. That means the Duo does not match the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max camera system. Those phones add a dedicated 48MP Fusion Telephoto and variable aperture on the Main camera, making the Pro models much more flexible for photography despite costing substantially less. Pre-event reports were divided between a Main + Telephoto and Main + Ultra Wide arrangement. Apple ultimately chose Main + Ultra Wide , confirming the earlier reports that a dedicated telephoto could be sacrificed to save space. Front cameras On the outside is a 12MP Center Stage camera with an f/2.2 aperture . It supports Center Stage, automatic portrait/landscape framing, Dual Capture, Photonic Engine, Deep Fusion, Smart HDR 5 and 4K Dolby Vision video at up to 60fps. Inside is an under-display FaceTime camera with an f/1.8 aperture. Apple does not specify its megapixel resolution. It supports Center Stage for video calls and records at up to 1080p/60fps. Its major advantage is visual rather than photographic: the camera effectively disappears beneath the display when it isnt being used. iPhone Duo video features The Main camera records 4K Dolby Vision at 24, 25, 30, 60, 100 or 120fps , with 4K/120fps also available for slo-mo. Cinematic mode reaches 4K/60fps and Action mode up to 2.8K/60fps. Dual Capture can record at up to 4K/30fps. Apples specifications also do not list ProRes or Apple Log recording for the Duo. Those remain more Pro-oriented capabilities rather than part of Apples foldable camera proposition. The Duo does support Spatial Audio recording , Audio Mix, Dolby Vision HDR and Apples computational photography features including Photonic Engine, Deep Fusion, Smart HDR 5, Photographic Styles 3, smart focus tracking and Apple Intelligence-powered editing. Apple does not list conventional Spatial Video capture in the Duo specifications. iPhone Duo processor: What processor does it use? Watch video on the screen. Apple The iPhone Duo uses the A20 Pro , the same processor as the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. It is manufactured using a 2-nanometer process , a major step forward in transistor density and efficiency. Apple combines it with a new chip packaging design inspired by its M-series Mac processors. The package connects the A20 Pro directly to a custom vapor chamber to transfer heat away from the processor more effectively. The A20 Pro includes: 6-core CPU: two super cores and four efficiency cores 7-core GPU with Neural Accelerators Dual 16-core Neural Engine Hardware-accelerated ray tracing A dedicated display engine capable of operating both Duo displays Compared with the A19 Pro, Apple says the CPU is up to 20 percent faster , while the GPU is up to 40 percent faster and more power-efficient . The Dual 16-core Neural Engine delivers twice the compute power , while unified-memory bandwidth rises by 50 percent . Apple also claims that the complete thermal system gives the Duo up to 35 percent better sustained performance than the iPhone 17 Pro . That sustained-performance figure is particularly important for a folding device because prolonged gaming, multitasking and AI workloads generate considerably more heat than short benchmark bursts. iPhone Duo RAM: How much memory does it have? Apple has not disclosed how much RAM is inside the iPhone Duo . Before launch, supply-chain reports consistently pointed to 12GB of RAM , which would make sense given the demands of running two displays, simultaneous applications, Siri AI and larger on-device AI models. Apple does reveal that A20 Pro has 50 percent more unified-memory bandwidth than A19 Pro , which should help the Duo move data more quickly between the CPU, GPU and Neural Engine. Extra memory is particularly useful on the Duo because iOS 27.1 can display multiple apps simultaneously and because Apple Intelligence and Siri AI increasingly run generative models locally rather than relying entirely on cloud processing. iPhone Duo connectivity An expensive desk calendar. Apple Apple has put a significant amount of its own communications silicon into the iPhone Duo. It uses Apples new C2 cellular modem , replacing Qualcomm silicon. Apple says C2 introduces AI-powered improvements to cellular quality and reliability and supports mmWave 5G in the U.S. The N1 wireless networking chip provides: Wi-Fi 7 with 22 MIMO Bluetooth 6 Thread networking The USB-C port also supports USB 3 data transfers at up to 10Gbps and DisplayPort video output. The Duo also has Apples second-generation Ultra Wideband chip , NFC and precision dual-frequency GPS. It is eSIM-only worldwide , something that had been widely rumored before launch. Eliminating the SIM tray gives Apple additional internal space for its batteries. Satellite capabilities include: Emergency SOS via satellite Roadside Assistance via satellite Find My via satellite Messages via satellite Battery, MagSafe and charging: Whats available? Instead of one battery spanning the body, the iPhone Duo contains two rechargeable lithium-ion batteries , with one high-energy battery fitted into each half of the device. Apples energy-balancing algorithms make them operate as a single battery system. Apple rates battery life at: Up to 24 hours of typical use Up to 44 hours video playback using the outer display Up to 31 hours using the inner display Up to 37 hours streamed video on the outer screen Up to 26 hours streamed video on the inner display Apple has not disclosed the batteries combined capacity in mAh. The pre-launch rumor of approximately 5,000-5,500mAh therefore remains unconfirmed. Wired charging can take the Duo to 50 percent in around 20 minutes with a 60W-or-higher USB-C adapter. Despite earlier uncertainty, MagSafe is supported , with wireless charging at up to 25W . Qi2 charging also reaches 25W. Apple says a 35W-or-higher adapter and MagSafe charger can bring the battery to around 50 percent in approximately 30 minutes. iPhone Duo price: How much does it cost? The iPhone Duo starts at $1,999 in the U.S. and 1,999 in the U.K. for 256GB. Prices are: Storage Price 256GB $1,999/1,999 512GB $2,199/2,199 1TB $2,599/2,599 2TB $3,199/3,199 The 256GB starting capacity means Apple has not created an unusually low-storage entry model simply to make the headline price look lower. iPhone Duo vs iPhone 18 Pro pricing The iPhone 18 Pro starts at $1,199/1,199 , while the iPhone 18 Pro Max starts at $1,299/1,299 . That makes the Duo approximately $700/700 more expensive than the Pro Max at entry level. That premium buys the folding display, precision hinge, titanium structure, second screen and more complex dual-battery design rather than superior cameras: in several areas the iPhone 18 Pro models are actually better equipped. Reports before the launch suggested the Duo could cost anywhere from around $1,999 to $2,399 at entry level, largely because of the folding OLED display, hinge mechanism, titanium components and other expensive parts. Apple ultimately landed at the very bottom of those predictions. Should you buy the iPhone Duo? The iPhone Duo is the iPhone to buy if you genuinely want a phone and small tablet in one device. Its 7.6-inch display, multitasking features, A20 Pro performance and clever fold-specific camera modes offer capabilities no other iPhone has. But at $1,999/1,999 it is enormously expensive, and there are significant compromises: no Face ID, no dedicated telephoto camera, no variable aperture and no Action button. For photography, battery life and conventional everyday use, the iPhone 18 Pro Max is likely to be the better-value flagship. Buy the Duo because you want the folding experience, not because it is simply the best iPhone . Read: When is the best time to buy an iPhone and our iPhone Buying Guide .
Apple Stores around the world are preparing to install new product presentations starting on Thursday, October 8. Apple retail stores received confidential boxes earlier this week featuring Do Not Open Until October 8 stickers on them. They are believed to contain new visual merchandise, which enables workers to update labels, graphics, and product layouts in stores around the release of new products. MacRumors received a tip-off about the boxes earlier this week, which it has now independently verified. There is a possibility that the materials relate to the iPhone Duo , but it seems more likely given their confidentiality and timing that they relate to the rumored launch of Apple's smart home hub , alongside a new Apple TV 4K, and the HomePod mini 2. Yesterday, Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman said that Apple plans to introduce these three long-awaited new devices on Tuesday, October 13 . If Apple announces the new devices sometime in the week of Monday, October 5, Apple Stores would need to update their displays for launch on October 13. For now, the exact timing of the announcement of the trio is unclear. Gurman's report used indeterminate wording, simply saying that Apple would push into the smart-home market on October 13. This could be either announcement or launch.
