Apple to Launch Touchscreen OLED MacBook Pro and OLED iPad mini on October 27
Apple will introduce new OLED touchscreen MacBook Pro models and an OLED iPad mini on or around Tuesday, October 27, reports Bloomberg . The launch will also include an M6 14-inch MacBook Pro and an M6 iMac . The October 27 follows Apple's October 13 debut of a new smart home hub, a revamped Apple TV 4K, and a refreshed HomePod mini . Earlier this month, MacRumors reported that Apple would do two rounds of product launches during October . Bloomberg says both the October 13 and October 27 product launches will include an online video presentation as well as a hands-on experience for members of the media. Apple has been working on an OLED MacBook for several years now, and while some rumors indicated it could be named the MacBook Ultra , Bloomberg suggests the 14-inch and 16-inch notebooks will be in the MacBook Pro family. The devices will be thinner and lighter than current MacBook Pro models and they will have OLED displays, touchscreen capabilities, and a Dynamic Island . The iPad mini will have a landscape camera for video calls, a redesigned speaker system, and a new OLED display.

In his new role as the executive chairman of Apple's board of directors, Tim Cook told The Independent 's David Phelan that he is ot meddling with Apple's new CEO John Ternus. First of all, John and I have an incredible level of trust in each other, said Cook. The relationship must be based on trust, and the communication must be frequent and significant. But other than that, what I'm focused on right now is worldwide policy. And the interface with governments around the world matters because there are lots of things where we're trying to advance or advocate for change. There's a significant amount of work in that, and I'm doing that and helping John in any way he sees fit. I'm not meddling. I'm not a meddler.

Tim Cook Explains Why He Stepped Down as Apple CEO Before iPhone Duo Launch
The Independent 's David Phelan on Wednesday interviewed Apple's executive chairman Tim Cook at Apple's U.K. headquarters in the Battersea Power Station, and one of the topics they discussed was John Ternus taking over as Apple's CEO. Ternus, who was previously Apple's hardware engineering chief, succeeded Cook as Apple's CEO on September 1 . Cook said the transition started years ago. It's been an interesting transition, said Cook. We really set out to have the best transition ever, a textbook example that people could look back to and learn from. It actually started years ago. Obviously, these things are not quick things and I feel so great about how things are going. I think everything has gone sort of exactly the way I had envisioned it. And it feels fantastic. Because Apple deserved the best. Cook said that he stepped down on September 1, just eight days before Ternus unveiled the iPhone Duo , in part to give Ternus some immediate momentum. I wanted John to have some wind at his back, said Cook. And the wind at Apple is very much based on the product cycle. This product cycle feels unbelievably great. The Duo is coming in a few weeks and it's amazing. Cook had the seemingly impossible task of succeeding the legendary Steve Jobs as CEO. Jobs told Cook not to make a decision simply because it is what Jobs would have done, and Cook said that he provided Ternus with similar advice. The advice I've given him is, make it your own job, said Cook. Put your time in the things that you can add the most value to around the company. And that means don't mimic me. Just like I didn't mimic Steve. We all have different strengths. Apple and The King's Trust, a charity founded by King Charles III, on Wednesday announced an immersive new education program to help young people build careers in the creative industries, with more details outlined in our previous coverage . Cook commented on the program in his interview with Phelan. It's a way for us to give back in a way that is uniquely Apple, he said. There are a lot of ways to do philanthropic activities, but I think you want to do ones where you can give part of yourself... not just your resource, but part of yourself, and we have such great creative people in the company that can be incredible mentors to these folks. Cook also touched on the new Apple Music Hall inside Apple's Battersea headquarters, describing the performance venue as uniquely Apple. I'm not sure there's a lot of people that could do it, and there's certainly not a lot of people that would. Every detail has been thought through, the construction, the design, the technology behind it, spatial audio capabilities: it's the perfect place to perform, whether you're a top-tier artist now, or an emerging artist, one that's just starting out. And it's a commitment to live performance and the recognition that that is so important.

4 big announcements coming at Apple
Macworld October is shaping up to be an exceptionally busy month at Apple Park. The company is readying the iPhone Duo , revamped Health app on iOS 27.2, touchscreen MacBook Pro , and overhauled iPad mini , which could all launch by the end of this month. That wont be all. Apple announced on Thursday that it will be holding a special Welcome Home experience on October 13, where it will presumably launch its new smart home products. According to credible rumors, the devices will include next-generation Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini models, along with a brand-new home hub . While many enthusiasts may perceive some of next weeks Apple TV and HomePod upgrades as unexciting performance boosts, the chip bumps will actually unlock never-before-seen advantages for Apples smart home line. An all-new platform The star of the show will undoubtedly be the dedicated home hubwhat some are referring to as the HomePad. Hardware-related leaks and OS code references already give us a solid idea of what to expect from this forthcoming device, including its approximate size and some of its software perks. The HomePad will offer a 6-inch, square-shaped touchscreen stitched to a HomePod-like speaker and draw AC power. Users will be able to display memories from their photo libraries when its idlepresumably depending on whos detected nearby. It will rely on the built-in camera to recognize household members and surface apps/data accordingly, in addition to providing for FaceTime video calls. Apples new smart platform is expected to use elements of the iPhones Standby mode when not in use. Apple Perhaps the most exciting aspect of the HomePad is the all-new homeOS, which will certainly introduce its own unique user interface and feature set to justify the creation of such a device. Apple TV 4K and HomePod models already act as HomeKit hubs, and the iPad is perfectly capable of controlling smart home accessories. So, its safe to assume that the HomePad will bring new features, enticing customers to add it to their existing setups. Smarter speaker The HomePod mini has been around for six years, providing a decent listening experience, seamless Apple ecosystem integrations, and basic voice command support in a miniature design. During the October 13 launch, Apple could finally unveil the HomePod mini 2, bringing fresh color options, potential audio improvements, and a faster S-series chip. While this may sound like an iterative upgrade, the HomePod mini 2 will finally resolve its predecessors main flaw. Foundry Despite its smart speaker classification, the HomePod mini is currently powered by the classic Siri, which is anything but smart. The voice assistant frequently struggles to perform basic actions, requires precise phrasing, and instructs users to check their iPhones for complex answers. The HomePod mini 2 will address that by adopting Siri AI, allowing you to speak more naturally and get hands-free answers based on its trained data and your personal information. Many users will finally be satisfied with the HomePods overall performance, minimizing the need to hunt for smarter third-party alternatives like those from Google and Amazon. A19 TV perks Similar to the HomePod mini, the imminent Apple TV 4K 4s most prominent highlight will be the introduction of a faster chip. First released in 2022, the current model packs the iPhone 13s A15 Bionic chipset with 4GB of RAM. Next weeks model could bump that to an A19 or A19 Pro SoC from last years iPhone 17 lineup, increasing the RAM to 8GB or 12GB. This will bring Siri AI to the big screen and enhance the set-top boxs general performance. That seems unlikely to be the full story. Opting for a year-old flagship smartphone processor in the midst of a chip shortage crisis solely for Siri AI support does not add upespecially since TVs arent primary AI consumption devices. Had it been the case, Apple couldve easily repurposed the iPhone 15 Pros A17 Pro chip and gotten away with it. Apple wants you to game on your Apple TV, and a much better processor could help. Foundry As such, I presume the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K will bring meaningful software additions that take full advantage of the A19, like a more serious gaming push. Given that Beats has allegedly been developing game controllers , this theory could realistically materialize. Otherwise, no one is paying over two hundred bucks to stream Netflix and chill with Siri AI in the living room. The great unknown While iPhone hardware components tend to leak in advance all the time, Apple has a tighter grip over its software development teams. During pretty much every press event, the company surprises us with fresh OS features introductions that had been built in utter secrecy. These features often roll out to older devices, too, despite being marketed for the latest and greatest releases. Foundry So even if youre not planning to upgrade your current Apple smart home devices, the next software update could still elevate your experience with significant additionslike iOS 27.2s four-HomePod surround sound setup.
Macworld Its official. Apple will announce its big push into the smart home on Tuesday, October 13. This isnt expected to be a big special event keynote at Apple Park, but rather a web launch with a coordinated Special Experience for invited members of the media to go hands-on with the new products in New York City. Apple did the same thing with the launch of the MacBook Neo earlier this year, after wrapping up a week of product announcements. That launch followed three days of announcements; however, this time everything is expected to drop at the same time. Apples Senior VP of Marketing Greg Joswiak posted a video showing the creation of the embroidered Apple logo and Welcome Home tagline. So what is Apple expected to announce? Reportedly, were getting a trio of new products: An updated Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini with new processors that make them suitable to run Siri AI, and the headline device, an all-new home hub device . The Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini are expected to be relatively straightforward updates with new chips to enable Apple Intelligence features and a few minor tweaks, such as HomePod mini colors, but without any dramatic design or interface changes. Its the new home hub device that is the star of the show. Apples answer to the Amazon Echo Show or Google Nest Hub, this new as-yet-unnamed device (most call it HomePad for now) is a totally new thing, with a new design, operating system, and interface. The most reliable rumors say it has a 6-inch display with a squareish aspect ratio, attached via a polished metal arm to a half-dome perforated base similar in size to a HomePod mini. Like a tiny little iMac G4 . It will have a new operating system and a new interface that is supposedly a mashup of tvOS, iOS widgets, iPhone Standby mode, and Apple Watch faces and complications. Youll be able to access your smart home controls as well as your calendar, messages, Apple Music and Podcasts, and make FaceTime calls thanks to the forward-facing camera. That camera reportedly has a cool new trick, too: recognizing which user is looking at it and switching to their own preferences and showing their own data. In addition to Apples trio of new products, it might show off some smart home stuff made in partnership with other manufacturers. Apple is said to have partnered with LG on a set of smart home products: A doorbell, an indoor camera, an outdoor camera, and an outdoor floodlight cam. These will carry LG branding, but were designed in conjunction with Apple, so Apple will likely show some of these products on October 13 as well. The media event to accompany this Welcome Home launch is on Tuesday, October 13 at 9:00 am ET in New York. Its not clear whether Apple will accompany this with a longer keynote-style video to introduce these products, as it does with other events, or if it will simply launch new product pages directly on the Apple website.

GTA V Ported To Run Locally In Browser: How A Modder Brought The Game To WebGPU
A tech enthusiast has successfully managed to run Grand Theft Auto V completely offline inside Google Chrome on an Apple MacBook Air M1 . While running demanding Windows games on non-Windows hardware traditionally presents substantial technical hurdles, this experimental setup demonstrates modern browser capabilities. Shared via Reddit, the initiative took shape after an unofficial web port of Rockstars open-world title briefly appeared online, enabling the developer to extract key assets and configure them for an entirely self-hosted, local environment. The technical architecture relies on an x86_64 game engine compiled directly into 64-bit WebAssembly . Background tasks and computational operations are split across multiple Web Workers within Chrome. On the visual front, graphics rendering is handled via modern WebGPU APIs , supported by roughly 6,600 translated shaders adapted to WGSL (WebGPU Shading Language). The client assetsamounting to approximately 20 GB of game data are streamed using a lightweight local host server and stored inside browser storage caches. GTA V running fully offline in Chrome on an M1 MacBook Air by u/Rude-Application-931 in pcmasterrace Initially, the build exhibited severe instability due to version mismatches between late-2022 engine code and legacy game assets from 2014. These bugs triggered endless loading loops, system freezes, inaccessible stores caused by missing asset textures, and broken UI text elements. To achieve playable stability, the developer introduced a dual-save mechanism utilizing both IndexedDB storage and local disk files. Visual parameters were optimized with reduced graphical presets, a resolution cap, and a 30 FPS frame-rate limiter . Bespoke JavaScript patches circumvent corrupt video files and missing textures, supplemented by a post-processing sharpening filter and an integrated in-game trainer menu capable of weather manipulation, vehicle spawning, and teleportation. Despite these performance optimizations, instability remains an inherent risk. The software regularly hits the strict memory limits enforced by modern web browsers, leading to occasional crashes during extended gameplay sessions.

ChatGPT Adds GPT-6 For Everyone, Featuring Dynamic Maps And Diagrams
OpenAI has officially expanded access to its flagship GPT-6 model , rolling out the next-generation artificial intelligence system to all ChatGPT tiers, including members on the Free and Go plans. Initially introduced last month exclusively for paying subscribers as a major architectural leap forward, the upgraded model is now paired with a dynamic user interface designed to generate interactive visual elements alongside standard text output. Under this new visual experience, ChatGPT can dynamically construct interactive maps to plot road trip routes, draft explanatory diagrams for complex technical subjects, and generate customized, embedded software tools directly inside the active conversation feed. These modular utilities allow users to manipulate data, adjust variables, and interact with graphical assets in real time without navigating away from the chat window. Alongside the expanded interface capabilities, OpenAI highlighted substantial speed and responsiveness gains in the underlying system architecture. The lightweight GPT-6 Instant iteration operates 44% faster than the previous-generation GPT-5.6 Instant . Furthermore, when responding to inquiries that necessitate live web searches , the model utilizes an optimized pipeline that streams answers immediately while continuing background data processing , drastically cutting down overall user latency. According to the company led by CEO Sam Altman , the rollout of the intelligent visual interface began globally today across the primary Chat interface for subscribers on Plus , Pro , Business , and Enterprise tiers. General availability for standard accounts follows closely behind, reaching all Free and Go users tomorrow. This strategic update solidifies the platforms shift from a conventional conversational assistant into a multimodal, real-time computational workspace.

ASOS hack exposed what millions of customers were searching for. Here
ASOS says hackers accessed names, addresses, phone numbers and email details. Recent customer search histories, including terms such as glamorous wide fit, were also exposed. Passwords and payment card information were not accessed, according to ASOS. ASOS has revealed that hackers gained access to millions of customers recent search histories, as well as names, addresses, phone numbers and email details, in a cyber attack on the online fashion retailer. Searches including glamorous wide fit, ASOS petite and reclaimed vintage were among the information accessed, according to reports. The disclosure gives a clearer picture of the breach after ASOS initially said only basic personal information may have been affected. The incident emerged on Thursday (6) when customers received a notification through the ASOS app titled ASOS hacked, directing them to a Telegram channel. ASOS subsequently confirmed that the notification had been sent by an unauthorised third party. Following what the company described as a detailed 48-hour investigation, ASOS said an unauthorised party had gained access to an employee account by impersonating a trusted contact and obtaining login credentials. ASOS said the credentials were then used to access information held on certain third-party platforms. The company said payment card information and account passwords had not been accessed. What information did ASOS hackers access? ASOS said basic personal information including names and contact details was accessed. This included delivery and email addresses and phone numbers. The company also said hackers accessed certain non-personal account related information. The BBC reported that this included customers recent search history after it was contacted by the people claiming responsibility for the attack. That means the exposed information could reveal not only who a customer is and how to contact them, but also what they have been looking for on the fashion site. For example, searches such as glamorous wide fit or ASOS petite could provide additional context that makes a scam message or phone call appear more convincing. ASOS said in its customer message: We discovered that an unauthorised party gained access to an Asos employee account by impersonating a trusted contact to obtain login credentials. It added that the affected platforms were immediately locked down and that it had launched a full investigation with internal and external cyber experts, while working with law enforcement and regulatory authorities. ASOS has around 16.5 million active customers across more than 100 markets, according to its latest corporate information. The breach appears to have involved social engineering rather than a direct attack on ASOSs main website or app. According to ASOS, the attackers impersonated a trusted contact to persuade an employee to provide login credentials. Those credentials were then used to access information on third-party platforms used by the retailer. The distinction is important because ASOS has said its website and app remain safe to use. The hackers initially claimed in their Telegram message that they had compromised a Snowflake instance, referring to the cloud data platform. However, ASOS has said the access involved third-party platforms and an employee account. There is no confirmation from ASOS that Snowflake itself was breached. The incident also highlights a wider problem for companies that rely on outside technology providers. ASOS has previously identified cyber attacks involving third-party systems as a business risk, noting that unauthorised access can result in data loss, operational disruption and loss of customer confidence. What should ASOS customers do now? ASOS says customers do not need to take any action and that its website and app are safe to use. However, the company is warning customers to be particularly cautious about unexpected calls, texts or emails claiming to be from ASOS. Please remain cautious of unexpected messages or calls claiming to be from Asos, the company said. We will never ask you to share passwords, security codes or payment details through an unsolicited message or call. The warning matters because exposed personal information can make phishing attempts look much more authentic. A scammer who knows a customer's name, phone number and shopping interests could potentially create a highly personalised message. Cybersecurity expert Trevor Dearing of Illumio warned that criminals could use details from the attack to make fraudulent messages appear genuine and create a sense of urgency. ASOS has said it will contact customers directly where its investigation finds that additional information, support or action is required. Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Charles Allen also warned that the incident could have a commercial impact, saying the hack might temporarily cap the pace of ASOS's efforts to revive sales and profits. The loss of customer trust could weigh on efforts to rebuild its client base, he said. For customers, the immediate risk is therefore not necessarily someone using an exposed password or payment card. It is the possibility of more convincing impersonation and phishing attempts based on information that customers may not realise they have shared with a retailer. ASOS said it had already taken additional steps to strengthen its security controls following the attack.

Intego ONE Review: Top-tier Mac malware protection with powerful Firewall controls
Macworld At a glance Expert's Rating Pros Malware detection that caught nearly every threat Fast scan speeds, processing 700GB+ and millions of files in under 10 minutes Strong, granular firewall controls with easy allow/deny/edit rule management Easy-to-use iPhone VPN with useful security checks Cons Lacks web/phishing protection and parental controls Slow quarantine cleanup iPhone app lacks advanced VPN features Our Verdict Intego ONE offers superb malware detection, excellent firewall controls, and impressively fast scan times, even across millions of files. Recent updates have improved performance during cleanup and resolved several frustrating bugs. It still lacks features such as spam and phishing prevention, and a few interface limitations remain, but its a strong choice for Mac users who want reliable malware protection and excellent network control at a good price. The Complete plan also includes an iPhone app with a straightforward VPN and useful security checks, although it lacks some advanced features found in dedicated VPN apps. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Price When Reviewed Intego ONE Essential from $2.50 a month/one device/first year, then $3.33 a month or $29.99 for the first year and then $39.99 a year. Best Prices Today: Intego ONE Retailer Price Intego (annual) $29.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Who its best for: Mac users who want strong, reliable malware protection with advanced control over network activity should seriously consider Intego ONE Complete. Its especially suited to users who prioritize security performance over having an all-in-one feature set. Who its not for: Its missing key features youd expect at this price, like phishing protection and parental controls, so if you need those features look elsewhere. At a glance Protection: Performance: Features: Ease of use: Value: Intego ONE is Integos new antivirus and anti-malware package, replacing Internet Security X9. We have long recommended its predecessor as the best antivirus utility for Mac users , thanks to its excellent malware detection, strong ransomware protection, and tools designed specifically for macOS. Intego ONE improves on it in several respects. There are three plans available, with options covering one, three, or five Macs. Intego ONE Complete also includes an iPhone for each Mac covered by the subscription. Intego ONE Essential: Antivirus protection and a firewall. Intego ONE Advanced: Adds SmartClean to free up disk space and remove junk files. Intego ONE Complete: Adds Intego VPN and an iPhone app with VPN access, network speed tests, and security checks. We tested Intego ONE Complete, including its Antivirus, Firewall, VPN, and SmartClean modules, as well as the companion iPhone app. Each Mac module has its own features and customization options, while the iPhone app provides additional VPN and security tools. Intego ONE requires macOS 12.4 Monterey or later and is easy to set up. Like previous versions, it asks for full disk access and permission to create a network extension for firewall and filtering functions. Antivirus: How good is Intego ONE Complete at detecting malware? An Intego ONE Complete Quick Scan in progress . Foundry Perhaps the strongest feature of the package, Intego ONEs antivirus module took just about everything I threw at it from over 130 viral samples from the Objective-See malware collection and came out smiling. Scan performance improved dramatically with version 1.2.3 (compared to our initial tests of the Release Candidate), with the software processing more than two million files in roughly eight minutes in testing placing it among the fastest options currently available for macOS. The software, which offers Full Scan, Quick Scan, and Custom Scan options, dovetailed in perfectly with the Xprotect/Gatekeeper tools found in macOS Tahoe 26.4, issued warnings, and prevented malware and ransomware from being installed on all fronts. Intego ONE quickly plowed through and removed more than 200 quarantined files, but left three behind. Foundry What few exceptions did get through via developer tools such as Xcode or Visual Code were caught moments later, and where I thought a fake copy of the Transmission BitTorrent client had gotten through, Intego ONE flagged it and quickly removed it via quarantine. Even fake Flash Player applications, which have long been the bane of antivirus utilities, were stopped immediately, and the software came through with flying colors while also scanning my MacBook Pros SSD, complete with more than 877GB of data, in under 10 minutes. Other nifty features from the Antivirus module included a Custom Scan feature, which was well-implemented and included targeted scanning as well as an excellent auto-scan feature in which a test flash drive with malware on it was quickly scanned and its suspect files quarantined. A handy scheduling feature worked like a charm, and its easy to configure a set daily, weekly, or monthly scan as needed. Firewall: How much control does the firewall actually give you? Quickly editing a Firewall function and assigning an application to a function . Foundry Intego ONEs firewall feature may not be as customizable as a systems administrator might like, but whats present is on point, complete with readily accessible configuration options that allow for a network connection and allow it to be denied or edited on the fly. One of the first things youll notice after installing the software is how active the firewall itself is, reminding you of network connections as they emerge and asking whether you approve them or if they might be suspicious. New rules can be created on the fly, and easy scripting allows you to activate applications on your Mac to deal with them as well as add a network port. A list of currently approved networks is available, and you can see which servers your Mac is trying to talk to and get a bead on your overall network traffic. VPN: Is the built-in VPN good enough to use daily? With the Intego ONE Complete plan you can take advantage of a VPN. This VPN may not be as robust as a dedicated VPN app, but whats present is robust and has a good level of customization. Just click into the module from the home screen, activate the VPN, and its easy to geolocate to one of 51 servers around the world, as well as choose favorites. Interestingly, the VPN module offers a choice between your preferred VPN module, wherein you can choose between Lightway UPD, which is optimized for speed, and Lightway TCP, which is optimized for reliability. Where performance itself was concerned, the bandwidth proved excellent, and the frame rates and audio sync on streaming content proved excellent. Intego ONE Complete also extends VPN protection to the iPhone, although the iOS app has fewer configuration options than its Mac counterpart. Heres how it performed in our tests. What does Intego ONE for iPhone do? VPN location selection and Security assessment Foundry Intego ONE for iOS is a mobile companion to Intego ONE Complete for Mac, combining a VPN with a selection of security and privacy checks. It doesnt offer the full antivirus and firewall protection found in the Mac version, but it provides useful tools for keeping your iPhones internet connection private and checking important security settings. The app requires iOS 18.2 or later and is available through the App Store. Installation is straightforward: download the app, sign in to your Intego account, and allow it to create a VPN configuration. Once thats done, youre ready to use the VPN and security tools. Is the VPN any good on iPhone? The VPN client makes it easy to switch between international servers and create a favorites list for locations you use regularly. Connections and disconnections are quick, and the app performed well in our tests over both Wi-Fi and cellular connections. One limitation is that the iPhone app currently supports only the WireGuard VPN protocol. This gives users fewer configuration options than the Mac version, although it shouldnt be an issue for most people who just want a simple VPN connection. We tested Intego ONE on an iPhone 17 running iOS 27.0.1, using both Wi-Fi and AT&Ts 5G network. Tests were conducted with Ooklas Speedtest.net app and Integos built-in speed test tool. On Wi-Fi, our download speed averaged 84.1Mbps without a VPN, dropping to 71.9Mbps when connected to a Canadian server and 71.3Mbps with a New York server. Thats a reduction of around 15%, leaving plenty of bandwidth for streaming and other everyday activities. The impact was greater over cellular. Our average download speed fell from 289.4Mbps without a VPN to 179.2Mbps through Canada and 174.8Mbps through New York, a reduction of approximately 38% to 40%. Nevertheless, these speeds remained more than adequate for streaming and large file transfers. Integos built-in speed test reported average download speeds of 70.3Mbps over Wi-Fi and 139Mbps over cellular. Streaming worked smoothly during testing, with good video quality, and the iPhone maintained a reasonable temperature even when streaming on battery power. What security features does Intego ONE offer on iPhone? Beyond its VPN, Intego ONE provides a useful security checkup. It can remind you to review whether important iPhone protections are enabled, including Face ID, your passcode, and the latest iOS updates. The app also checks settings relating to ad tracking, detects whether screen recording is active, and looks for signs of jailbreaking, which can weaken Apples built-in security protections. Intego ONE can also check the security of the Wi-Fi network your iPhone is connected to. The check takes around 10 seconds and identifies potential security issues, including whether the network uses strong encryption. It also reports connection speed, which can be useful when connecting to unfamiliar networks in hotels, cafs, or airports. These tools are helpful reminders, particularly if you dont regularly review your iPhones security and privacy settings. However, they dont replace active threat protection. Intego ONE for iOS wont prevent you from visiting a malicious website or clicking a phishing link, and it doesnt provide the traditional antivirus and malware-scanning capabilities found in Intego ONE for Mac. Is Intego ONE for iPhone worth using? Intego ONE for iPhone is a useful addition to the Complete package. Its VPN is easy to configure, switching servers is straightforward, and performance was good enough for everyday use, including streaming. Its less suitable for users who want the extensive customization offered by dedicated VPN services, including more protocol choices and an internet kill switch. The security checks are useful, but theyre reminders to review your settings rather than comprehensive protection against online threats. If youre already subscribing to Intego ONE Complete for your Mac, the iPhone app is a worthwhile extra. It provides an easy way to use a VPN on the go while encouraging better security habits, without needing to learn another complicated security app. For more on VPNs read our group test of the best VPNs for iPhone and iPad . SmartClean: Is SmartClean a good Mac cleaner? The SmartClean module is included with the Intego ONE Advanced and Intego ONE Complete plans. Its a tool for disk optimization and offers several functions to manage CPU usage, RAM usage, a Disk Space Monitor, an App Uninstaller, and Optimization history. Each function works well, and the overall SmartClean Optimization Scan was able to locate 111GB of large files on my Mac that could be removed, as well as 500MB of cache and log files. It is a good way to claw back some drive space without decimating your larger work files. This disk cleanup can be extended in the settings to also include old downloads and old trash files, which is a nice option. The Uninstaller function worked well and cleanly removed several extraneous applications I had on my SSD, but an attempt to remove a copy of DaVinci Resolve during a test run had to be repeated. This is one of a few bugs that cropped up in our testing of the Release Candidate, so we raised these issue with Intego and will be verifying that it has been addressed in the final version of the software. What is missing? Parental controls and spam/phishing protection would be good to see in a future update. What issues and bugs did we encounter? Quarantining suspect files in Intego ONE . Foundry While Intego ONE Complete is generally excellent and its component functions shine, there are still a few quirks and interface limitations to note, though several earlier issues identified in our initial review have been resolved. The application no longer repeatedly prompts for the system password during quarantine or malware removal, which was a major annoyance in earlier builds. Performance during large-scale cleanup has also improved considerably, with better system load distribution preventing the Mac from slowing to a crawl. During testing, the software successfully processed and removed more than 200 quarantined files quickly, though a small number of files (three in our case) remained and required additional attention. The user interface, while generally friendly, still lacks the ability to resize or expand to full screen, which feels like an unnecessary limitation. A previous issue involving the application resetting permissions and requiring reinstallation did not reoccur in this version, suggesting it may have been resolved. Pricing: Is Intego ONE good value? Intego ONE Essential starts $2.50/1.87 a month for one device for the first year, after that first year it will default to the full price of $3.33/2.50 a month. Thats $29.99/22.49 for the first year and then $39.99/29.99 a year. You can choose a two year plan to keep paying the lower price for longer. Get the best Intego ONE deal here Intego ONE Advanced (with the Mac cleaner) is currently $52.49/38.49 for the first year, and Intego ONE Complete (with the VPN) is $67.49/45.49 for the first year. There are plans for one, three or five devices. Intego ONE Complete also includes the iPhone app, with plans covering one Mac and one iPhone, three Macs and three iPhones, or five Macs and five iPhones. The iPhone app includes VPN access, network speed tests, and security checks, but not the Mac versions antivirus and firewall features. In comparison to Integos Mac Internet Security X9, which though available for $24.99/20.99 for the first year, rose to $49.99/49.99 a year afterwards, the new pricing structure is better for the long-term. The price is also very favourable compared to alternatives we include in our round up of the Best Antivirus software for Mac users . Foundry Should you buy Intego ONE? Intego ONE proves to be an easy recommendation if youre looking for strong malware protection and advanced firewall control on your Mac, and this is where the application shines. Recent updates have addressed several early bugs and significantly improved performance, making Intego ONE a more compelling option than at launch. The addition of an iPhone app makes the Complete package more appealing if you want protection for both your Mac and iPhone. While the iOS app doesnt offer the same antivirus capabilities as the Mac version, its straightforward VPN delivered good performance in our tests, and the security checks provide useful reminders. Its a worthwhile addition rather than a reason to subscribe on its own. Where core protection is concerned, this is one of the best options available for your Mac, and this, combined with Integos 30-day money-back guarantee, makes it well worth a trial run.
