Claude Code Adds Cross-Session Messaging on macOS
Anthropic has updated Claude Code so that separate coding sessions can message each other directly, removing the need to manually copy context between Terminal windows. The company shipped the feature in Claude Code version 2.1.224, released on Friday for macOS and Linux. Two new tools power it: ListAgents, which finds other active sessions running on the Mac, and SendMessage, which delivers the message. A session that receives one shows it as a labeled card with a link back to the sender. According to Anthropic's documentation , only text passes between sessions, not conversation history, files, or permissions. One session can warn another when a change breaks something it depends on, or pass along an answer another session is waiting on, and Anthropic says an incoming message can't approve a permission request or change a session's settings on its own. New in Claude Code: your sessions can now message each other. Instead of having to re-explain yourself in another session, you can now tell Claude to do it. It sends a summary (not your history or files), and the other session picks it up mid-task. pic.twitter.com/PtNsfXeQXP ClaudeDevs (@ClaudeDevs) August 7, 2026 The feature sits alongside Claude Code's existing subagents and Agent Teams tools, but connects sessions a user is already running separately on their Mac rather than ones Claude spawns and manages itself. Messages between sessions on the same Mac stay local and never reach Anthropic's servers. Between different machines, messaging works only as a reply through Remote Control, the feature that connects a Mac terminal to the Claude apps for iOS and Android. Cross session messaging requires macOS or Linux with Claude Code 2.1.224 or later and isn't available on Windows. It was released alongside 31 other changes in the same release, including a new claude self-hosted-runner command for Team and Enterprise plans.

Macworld TL;DR: Get a 10TB Internxt Cloud Storage Lifetime Subscription for $360. Renting cloud storage from Google or Dropbox means a monthly charge that never stops and files a company can scan whenever it likes. Internxt is a private, encrypted alternative, and a lifetime subscription to its 10TB plan is on sale for $359.99 (reg. $2,900). Your files get end-to-end encrypted on your Mac before they ever leave the device, so only you can open them, and not even Internxt can read them. That encryption goes a step past the standard AES-256 most providers use, holding up against future quantum computing threats. Internxt is open-source with its code posted publicly on GitHub, and theyve even been audited independently by Securitum. You can reach your files from macOS, iOS, Windows, Linux, or a browser, across as many devices as you want. Files are split into smaller encrypted pieces during transfer, so intercepted data stays unreadable. Because the system is decentralized, your data isnt locked to one server, and you can export everything whenever you like. This plan is open to new users only.

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

If you want an iPhone 18 Pro, you
Macworld Former Bloomberg correspondant and supply-chain expert Tim Culpan has bad news. A brief post on his Substack blog say that Apple isnt immune to the RAM crunch that is affecting everyone right now. The company is scrambling to get DRAM modules from suppliers to the assembly plants for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Ultra. With less than two months before the phones ship out to consumers, production should be in full swing right now. But a shortage of DRAM chips means theyre not able to manufacture as many as they would like. It sounds like the iPhone 18 Pro may be in short supply when it first goes on sale. The iPhone Ultra, with a much higher price tag, is expected to have lower demand. It also may have a slightly later shipping date, giving a little more time for production to catch up. He says processor wafers are on the shelves awaiting packaging, so if Apple can get the RAM it needs, it should be able to quickly get new iPhones on shelves. The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Ultra should be announced at a special event in the second week of September, and ship to consumers in late September or early October.
Apple Rumored to Launch Three New
According to various reports from sources such as Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman and Macworld 's Filipe Espsito , Apple is planning to release up to three new products with Ultra branding between late 2026 and early 2027. The long-rumored foldable iPhone is expected to be called the iPhone Ultra. Rumored features include a 7.7-inch inner display, a 5.3-inch outer display, two rear cameras, one front camera, a Touch ID power button instead of Face ID, and more. The device's large inner screen will be ideal for watching videos and multitasking. Apple is expected to release the iPhone Ultra this September, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. In the U.S., it has been estimated that the device will have a starting price of anywhere from $1,999 to $2,499. AirPods Ultra are reportedly set to be released as early as this year it would be fitting for them to be unveiled alongside the iPhone Ultra this September. AirPods Ultra are essentially rumored to be AirPods Pro with tiny infrared cameras that serve as eyes for Siri. The cameras will help to enhance the Visual Intelligence feature on the iPhone 15 Pro and newer, and a small LED light on the earbuds will indicate when the cameras are active, according to Gurman's reporting. On iOS 27, Visual Intelligence is accessible through the Camera app via a new Siri mode. AirPods Ultra would provide a more hands-free experience. The idea is to let users ask questions about an item they might be looking at, he said. If someone is looking at ingredients on their kitchen countertop, for example, they could ask Siri for dinner ideas. Last month, Apple's code for the second iOS 27 developer beta seemingly hinted at AirPods with cameras , so a launch could be fast approaching. Finally, Apple is reportedly planning a MacBook Ultra with an OLED display that doubles as a touch screen. Other rumored features include M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, a Dynamic Island, a thinner design compared to the latest MacBook Pro models, and potentially even an Apple-designed C2 modem for built-in 5G/LTE cellular connectivity. Apple plans to release this new MacBook by early 2027, according to Gurman. All in all, Apple is expected to release an iPhone Ultra, AirPods Ultra, and a MacBook Ultra over the course of the next six to seven months or so.

Spain vs Italy: NATO Allies Face Off as Europes Migration Crisis Deepens

Madrid calls the restrictions discriminatory and argues that migrants who entered Ceuta did not receive unrestricted access to mainland Spain or the wider Schengen area. Giorgia Melonis government maintains that the unprecedented influx justifies safeguards against onward movement.

After the trial youll be charged either the monthly or annual fee, depending on your selection. When subscribing, youll need to enter your Apple ID password or use Touch ID or Face ID to sign in, and youll have to confirm your subscription purchase a few times. Once youre done with the sign up, the Arcade section of the App Store shows what games are available to you. To access a game, tap on it in the App Store, then tap the Get button. When the game is done installing on your device, the Get button turns into a Play button, and you can tap it to launch the game. The game app icon will also appear on your devices Home page. On the Apple TV, there actually is an Arcade app. Open that to see the sign-up offer. Youll also find an Arcade tab within the App Store. Does my subscription include family sharing? Yes. One $6.99 per month subscription can be shared between up to six people (including you). How do I cancel Apple Arcade? First off, keep in mind that if you cancel Apple Arcade (either before your free trial is up or after subscribing), you wont be able to keep playing the games unless you re-subscribe. If youre okay with that, you can use the same process you use to cancel any other subscription service. Heres the easiest way to do it on the iPhone and iPad: Open the App Store app and tap on your profile photo in the upper right. In the screen that pops up, press Subscriptions near the top of the page. Youll then see a list of active subscriptions, and Apple Arcade should be listed there. Tap it. Youll either see Cancel Free Trial or Cancel Subscription toward the middle of the page that appears. Tap whatever option is available , then Confirm Cancellation . And heres how to cancel Apple Arcade on the Mac: Open the App Store app and then press the icon with your profile photo in the lower left. The Account window will appear, and you should then click View Information at the top of the window. Enter your password when/if prompted.

When the list of your active subscriptions appears, click Edit to the right of Apple Arcade . Toward the middle of the page that appears, youll see a button that says either Cancel Free Trial or Cancel Subscription . Click it, then click Confirm Cancellation and Confirm . Do Apple Arcade games have in-app purchases? No. In Apples words, since every game includes access to the full experience, including all game features, content, and future updates, no additional purchases will be required. Even games that have in-app purchases on the App Store wont have any in Apple Arcade. Do Apple Arcade games have ads? Also no. On a related note, Apple says Apple Arcade has no ad tracking. Is Apple Arcade a game streaming service like GeForce NOW or Xbox Game Streaming? No. All Apple Arcade are downloaded. Are there demos for Apple Arcade games? No, and theyre not really necessary. Like App Store apps, games download quickly and can easily be removed if you dont want to keep it anymore. Apple partly envisions Apple Arcade as a way of letting players try out games with more freedom than the App Store currently allows (which is basically none). In Apples words, rather than pay upfront for each game, a subscription to Apple Arcade will give players the opportunity to try any game in the service without risk. The service has a free trial, though, as weve seen with other Apple subscription services. Am I able to keep playing Apple Arcade games if I cancel my subscription? No. As with most subscription services, you only have access while youre a subscriber. Can I use controllers with Apple Arcade games? Yes. In additional to traditional MFi (Made for iOS) controllers, you can pair some specific Bluetooth controllers for either PlayStation or Xbox with either your iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV. Since many Apple Arcade games are playable on Mac and Apple TV (where controller support is more common), many games will support them. Some games, especially those that are also available in the broader App Store and only for iPhone or iPad, have no controller support. Recently Apple relaxed the requirements for MFi controller certification, which may have grown out of the Apple Arcade negotiations. How often are new games released? Games are typically released on the first Friday of each month. There are some rare exceptions. What games have been released so far? There are over 200 games available for Apple Arcade, and the list grows all the time.

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

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