Siri AI Will Have a Waitlist When iOS 27 Launches
iOS 27 , iPadOS 27 , and macOS Golden Gate include Siri AI, Apple's much more capable version of Siri. When the new updates launch, it appears Apple will use a waitlist and limit initial access. On the MacRumors forums, Mactracker found that the seventh betas of iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS Golden Gate include waitlist infrastructure. Apple will use dynamic wait time messages once a user joins the Siri AI waitlist. It looks like Apple will give a clear estimate of the wait, and the company will be able to adjust the wait time readouts server-side based on demand and capacity. Apple will send a notification when Siri AI can be used. Siri AI had a waitlist during the beta testing period. It took up to a week for some people to get access, but there's no indication yet of how long people might have to wait after the public launch in September.

Apple today said it is reversing its decision and will not change the email domain used for the iCloud + Hide My Email feature. Emails sent using Hide My Email will continue to use the same icloud.com domain that Apple uses for standard iCloud emails. In June, Apple said it would unify the email domains used by Sign in with Apple and Hide My Email under a single private.icloud.com domain. iPhone users expressed concern that moving Hide My Email to a private.icloud.com domain instead of icloud.com would let platforms easily block iCloud aliases . Using the same domain for iCloud and Hide My Email makes it hard for services to block the disposable iCloud addresses because doing so would also block legitimate users. Apple said after further consideration and reviewing feedback from the community, it will not make the change. Sign in with Apple addresses will be issued through private.icloud.com instead of privaterelay.appleid.com starting later this year. There will be no update for Hide My Email addresses. Sign in with Apple addresses created before the change will continue to be forwarded without interruption. Apple says developers with apps or websites that use Sign in with Apple should make sure their systems allow the private.icloud.com domain in addition to privaterelay.appleid.com. Hide My Email is a paid iCloud feature that allows users to generate unique email addresses for each website or service, with options to deactivate and delete those addresses at any time. Hide My Email addresses are forwarded to a user's real email address, which is hidden from the site or service.

Apple Watch Series 12: Everything to Expect Next Month
The Apple Watch Series 12 is almost certain to be introduced at Apple's annual iPhone event next month, and the rumors point to another quieter upgrade year for the device. Apple has not altered the Apple Watch's design since the Series 10 arrived in 2024, and it is not expected to change this year either, making 2026 the third year of the current case. This isn't unusual since every Apple Watch casing design has lasted through three successive generations before being refreshed. Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman believes the Series 12 will continue a run of modest upgrades , with virtually everything of significance happening internally. Here are all of the features and changes rumored for the device so far: New chip : Last year's Apple Watch Series 11 retained the same S10 chip as its predecessor for the first time, and the S10 chip is itself functionally the same as 2023's S9 chip. After three generations of the same chip, the Apple Watch Series 12 is highly likely to deliver the first meaningfully new chip for the device in years. Evidence of this has also been spotted in internal Apple code . The new chip will likely be branded as the S11, but it could be the S12 if Apple wants to keep its numbering in line with the series. Longer battery life : A known leaker on the Chinese social media platform Weibo said in May that Apple is prioritizing battery life with the Series 12, pursuing a physically larger battery as well as efficiency gains elsewhere in the device. Apple rates the Series 11 at up to 24 hours on a charge, or up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode. Health and fitness improvements : Gurman referred to a number of health and fitness upgrades for the device without detailing them. DigiTimes pointed to a new blood pressure notification feature awaiting FDA clearance, which would build on the hypertension notifications Apple introduced last year, and claimed at least one high-end model is due a significant sensing upgrade involving eight sensors arranged in a ring. Ceramic case option : Gurman reported this month that the Apple Watch's distinctive ceramic casing is set to return either this year or in 2027, and the leaker and prototype collector known as Kosutami since claimed it will arrive with the Series 12 . The finish has been absent from the lineup for six years and would give Apple a high-end case option above titanium for the first time since 2020. New colors and bands : Gurman expects to see the device unveiled with a fresh collection of case finishes and band options. Leaked code related to the Apple Watch Series 12 included references to AppleMesa, Apple's codename for Touch ID , prompting rumors that a sensor could sit under the display or in the side button. The same leaker who flagged the battery focus denied the claim , arguing that it would add cost and consume internal space better given over to the battery. Gurman said he does not expect any significant design changes to the Series 12 or Ultra 4, which a fingerprint sensor would almost certainly require, so the rumor seems unlikely to pan out. A rumor about a new sensor embedded in the band looks similarly improbable. Kosutami claimed in July that the Series 12 could ship with at least one health sensor in a band, which would be a first for the product. Every existing model houses its sensors in the case itself, and no other source has corroborated the claim. The Apple Watch Series 12 is expected to be announced alongside the Apple Watch Ultra 4, iPhone 18 Pro , iPhone 18 Pro Max, and foldable iPhone Ultra . There is not expected to be a new Apple Watch SE this year.

In recent years, the Pixel has been transitioned from a phone with a really, really good camera to something closer to a showcase for Googles software and AI ecosystem.

This is, ultimately, Pixel 11s biggest strength and its biggest limitation. It is very much a Google phone.
Apple iPhone 18 Pro Pricing Leak: Why A Price Hike Is Likely
Apple is reportedly preparing to raise retail prices across its upcoming iPhone 18 Pro lineup , driven primarily by escalating component expenses . According to Bloomberg industry analyst Mark Gurman, ongoing supply constraints in memory production and advanced semiconductor fabrication have made a price revision practically inevitable for the Cupertino-based tech giant. These broader hardware supply chain disruptions have substantially driven up fixed manufacturing costs across the mobile industry. This anticipated adjustment follows earlier price revisions across other major Apple hardware categories , including Macs and iPads , which experienced average price adjustments of approximately 23%. Within the premium mobile sector, Apple has closely monitored market reactions to recent pricing strategies adopted by competitors such as Samsung and Google . Both companies introduced roughly $100 price increases across their latest flagship product portfolios, establishing an industry baseline that Apple appears poised to follow. If Apple executes a comparable price adjustment, the base model iPhone 18 Pro is projected to start at $1,199 , up from the $1,099 introductory price of the previous-generation iPhone 17 Pro . This revision represents an estimated 9% price increase for entry-level premium configurations in the United States. Despite the higher sticker price, industry analysis suggests that a $100 bump remains relatively moderate considering the severity of current memory shortages . Apple is expected to absorb a portion of rising production costs rather than passing the entire expense to consumers, aligning with corporate guidance warning of tighter gross profit margins this fiscal quarter. Maintaining the price adjustment within a $100 threshold allows Apple to keep its flagship smartphones competitively aligned with rival devices. Furthermore, Apple aims to minimize customer friction through financing tools, relying on the Apple Upgrade Program and extended carrier financing agreements to spread retail costs across monthly installment plans. Official pricing and final availability details will be confirmed during Apples standard product launch announcements.

iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Ultra: When Will Apple Event Be Announced?
It is now late August, meaning that Apple's annual iPhone event is just around the corner. Below, we take a look at when the event might be held this year. This September, Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and an all-new foldable iPhone that will reportedly be named the iPhone Ultra . The regular iPhone 18, a lower-end iPhone 18e, and the iPhone Air 2 are not expected to be announced until around March 2027, as part of a new launch strategy . Australian media outlet ChannelNews recently published an exclusive report claiming that the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Ultra event will take place on Tuesday, September 8. However, this date is questionable, as Apple has never held its iPhone event one day after Labor Day. Historically, there has always been at least a two-day gap between the holiday and the event, so it is more likely to fall on Wednesday, September 9 or later this year. In his Power On newsletter yesterday, Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman said the event will indeed take place on or around Wednesday, September 9 this year. If the event were to fall on Tuesday, September 8 or Wednesday, September 9 this year, pre-orders would ordinarily begin on Friday, September 11. However, that Friday will mark the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, so Apple may want to avoid starting pre-orders that day out of respect. Perhaps for the same reason, iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus pre-orders began on Saturday, September 12 instead of Friday, September 11 in 2015. It would be a lot smoother for Apple to skip the week of Labor Day and the 9/11 anniversary entirely and hold its iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Ultra event the following week instead. This would also allow for an extra week of production for the first-of-its-kind iPhone Ultra. Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman reported that the event will take place in the first half of September , which would make Tuesday, September 15 the latest possible date. If the event falls on Monday, September 14 or Tuesday, September 15, then pre-orders would likely begin on Friday, September 18, and the devices would likely launch Friday, September 25. It remains to be seen if the iPhone Ultra is available at the same time as the iPhone 18 Pro models, but it might be limited to the U.S. at first either way. Since 2020, iPhone event videos have been pre-recorded, but in recent years Apple has invited select reporters to the Steve Jobs Theater to watch the video in person. Afterwards, attendees receive hands-on time with the new devices. The table below provides an overview of dates for the last six iPhone events, with 2020 being an outlier due to the COVID-19 pandemic. iPhone Series Announcement Date Event Date Delta (Days) iPhone 17 Tuesday, August 26, 2025 Tuesday, September 9, 2025 14 iPhone 16 Monday, August 26, 2024 Monday, September 9, 2024 14 iPhone 15 Tuesday, August 29, 2023 Tuesday, September 12, 2023 14 iPhone 14 Wednesday, August 24, 2022 Wednesday, September 7, 2022 14 iPhone 13 Tuesday, September 7, 2021 Tuesday, September 14, 2021 7 iPhone 12 Tuesday, October 6, 2020 Tuesday, October 13, 2020 7 Related Roundup: iPhone 18 Pro Tags: Apple Event , iPhone Ultra This article, iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Ultra: When Will Apple Event Be Announced? first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums

In the Apple Store app on the iPhone, select users have received access to an early preview of a new AI-powered virtual shopping assistant. Once it is available, you can open the chatbot by tapping on the speech bubble with two sparkles in the bottom-right corner of the app. Then, you can ask questions about Apple products, your existing Apple Store orders, trade-in values, payment options, and more, or simply tap on one of the common topics on the page to begin. MacRumors was first to report that the Apple Store app would be getting an AI shopping assistant , based on a new privacy policy added to Apple's website. The policy states that Apple uses your personal information to personalize the chat experience, provide relevant responses, and if you opt in, to improve the assistant. Apple has yet to officially announce this feature, so it seems to be quietly testing it with a smaller number of users for now. Many of our staff members do not have access to the chatbot, so if you do not see it yet, know you are not alone.

Apple Preparing to Increase iPhone Prices
Apple is preparing to raise iPhone prices following similar moves from Samsung and Google, according to Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman . Apple raised prices on almost every major product category two months ago, with affected Macs and iPads rising about 23% on average. In the latest edition of his Power On newsletter , Gurman said that the iPhone faces the same memory and chip supply chain issues affecting Apple's other products, so a price increase emains inevitable. Apple has apparently been closely observing how Samsung and Google respond to higher component costs. Both companies raised prices on their latest smartphones by about $100. Matching that increase would put the iPhone 18 Pro 's starting price at $1,199, up about 9% from the current iPhone 17 Pro 's $1,099 starting price. Given the severity of the memory crunch, Gurman says that is a fairly modest bump, suggesting Apple is absorbing some of the added costs itself. The company has already warned of pressure on gross margins this quarter, which is a sign it is not passing on all of its growing expenses to customers. Apple still has good reason not to push too far. A $100 increase would keep the iPhone broadly in Samsung's pricing territory and avoid the sticker shock of the steeper hikes imposed on the Mac and iPad . Nevertheless, Gurman says that Apple has room to go higher, since the Mac and iPad price increases were far larger and the iPhone has a loyal customer base to draw on. The new Apple Upgrade subscription program could also soften the blow by allowing buyers to spread the higher cost across monthly payments rather than paying the full price upfront.
