Quote of the Day by Tim Allen: The world's a mean place.

Quote of the Day by Tim Allen: Tim Allen's quote, The world's a mean place. It's unfair, then it's fair... captures a difficult truth: life rarely follows a single moral pattern. Good things happen without warning, unfair moments can reshape us, and love can appear where we least expect it. The deeper lesson is not to expect perfect fairness, but to accept life's contradictions without becoming cynical. The quote opens a wider reflection on resilience, human nature, faith, uncertainty and the strange balance between suffering and joy.

Top Stories: iOS 27 Beta 5, iPhone 18 Pro Rumors, and More

Apple is likely winding down work on the initial release of iOS 27 as it prepares to install the operating system on new iPhone models coming next month, but some changes are still being made as we saw with the fifth round of betas this week. Other news and rumors this week included a look at an alleged battery from the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro Max, third-party accessories revealing some information about the foldable iPhone Ultra, and more, so read on below for all of the details! Top Stories Everything New in iOS 27 Beta 5 We're a little over a month away from the launch of iOS 27, and Apple is continuing to make changes. The fifth beta of iOS 27 seeded to developers and public beta testers this week changes the look of some app icons and adjusts Liquid Glass, plus it adds some smaller features that make the iPhone just a little nicer to use. Check out our full overview of all of the changes in the latest beta. iPhone 18 Pro Max's Larger Battery Capacity Allegedly Revealed The upcoming iPhone 18 Pro Max will be equipped with a nearly 12% larger battery compared to the iPhone 17 Pro Max, according to an apparent leak. An alleged photo of a battery pack for a Chinese model of the iPhone 18 Pro Max with a SIM card tray lists a capacity of 5,391 mAh, up from 4,823 mAh for the equivalent iPhone 17 Pro Max battery. The iPhone 18 Pro will reportedly start with the same 256GB of storage as the iPhone 17 Pro, but one analyst firm estimates that memory price spikes and other increases will raise Apple's costs to manufacture the new models by approximately 38% . 'iPhone Ultra' Screen Protectors Reveal Asymmetric Corners The leaker known as Ice Universe this week shared images and a hands-on video of screen protectors for Apple's rumored iPhone Ultra, and the leak appears to confirm a few of the most discussed details about the foldable's front design. Notably, the leaked accessory has square corners on the side that would sit next to the hinge, and rounded corners on the opposite edge. That asymmetry lines up with months of rumors describing a foldable device with a hinge on one side, and the leak marks one of the clearest looks yet at how the proportions and shape carry over to the cover display itself. Third-party camera protectors intended for the iPhone Ultra may also point to two expected color options for the device: silver and dark blue . Apple Watch Rethink Could See Debut of Round Model, Screenless Fitness Tracker, and More Apple is re-evaluating the Apple Watch lineup and considering a host of radical new designs , according to Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman. In this week's edition of his Power On newsletter, Gurman compared plans for the Apple Watch's evolution to the evolutionary design change that the foldable iPhone represents. It will be something that transforms the product for a new era. Apple's industrial design team has reportedly been exploring a broader rethink of its smartwatches for some time, with several directions under evaluation including offering a round display and even some screenless fitness tracker products. In the nearer term, a ceramic case option for the Apple Watch could return either this year or next. The material has been absent from the Apple Watch lineup since the discontinuation of the Series 5. New MacBook Pro and Refreshed iMacs Likely Coming in October Apple is likely to unveil a new M6 MacBook Pro and refreshed iMacs in October , based on its typical release schedule, according to Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman. Writing in the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, Gurman reiterated his belief that Apple is readying the launch of a refreshed base-model MacBook Pro with a 14-inch display powered by an M6 chip. As for iMacs, the new version is likely to be an updated 24-inch model with an M5 chip or M6 chip, replacing the existing M4 model. No major design changes are expected. iPhone Users Who Pay for Enough iCloud Storage Get New iOS 27 Perks If you are subscribed to an iCloud+ plan with at least 2TB of storage, you will receive new perks in the Home app on iOS 27 , according to Apple. Starting with iOS 27, Apple said iPhone users who are subscribed to an iCloud+ plan with at least 2TB of storage receive access to three new Apple Intelligence features in the Home app: generated video descriptions for HomeKit Secure Video cameras, the ability to search for camera clips, and automatic surfacing of noteworthy clips. According to Stephen Robles, the Home app on the fifth developer beta of iOS 27 now indicates how many HomeKit Secure Video cameras are eligible for generated video summaries. Robles told us he had a total of 8TB of iCloud+ storage (6TB plus 2TB from Apple One), and this made him eligible for video summaries for up to 15 cameras.

Get lifetime access to 20+ AI models for $55

Macworld TL;DR: ChatPlayground AI gives you access to 20+ AI models in one interface, and its only $55 for life. Picking a single AI model means betting on that one tools strengths and living with its (many) blind spots. ChatPlayground AI works a little differently. Instead of locking you into one model, it gives you access to over 20 of the most popular AI models, including Claude, GPT, and Gemini. Through August 16, its only $54.97 to get a lifetime subscription. Heres how it works. You type one prompt and see answers from more than 20 models side by side, including GPT-4o, Gemini, DeepSeek, Llama, and Perplexity. Reading them next to each other makes the best response a lot more obvious instead of forcing you to run the same question through four separate tabs. One of the other benefits of switching to a full AI platform is you get tools for more than just basic text. ChatPlayground has models that can generate images, work through coding problems, and refine prompts in the same window. Upload a PDF or an image and ask questions against it directly. Saved chat history keeps past conversations ready for ongoing projects, and priority support moves you to the front of the line when something needs sorting. Mac users can access ChatPlayground through any current browser, so theres no app to install and nothing tied to a single machine. Chrome, Edge, and Firefox all work as long as theyre up to date. Stop paying a separate subscription for every AI model you use. Get a ChatPlayground lifetime subscription for $54.97. Sale ends 11:59 p.m. PT on August 16.
