HomeView Software 27.2: Wallpapers, Control Center, and More
Apple today released HomeView Software 27.2, which is the software that runs on the upcoming HomeView device set to launch on November 13. The HomeView was announced earlier in October, but the early software release gives us a look at features like wallpapers and reveals a few tidbits we didn't previously know. Wallpapers There are 20 default wallpapers to choose from on HomeView, with a range of colors. Users will also likely be able to set their own photo wallpaper. The HomeView uses faces, but the wallpapers may be shown on the Home Screen . View all 20 photos in the full article Face Editing Guilherme Rambo shared an image of the HomeView's face editing interface, where users can choose the design they want to use on the HomeView's Lock Screen.

Here are the Snoopy videos from the HomeView https://t.co/hrRxPlmVSS Aaron (@aaronp613) October 30, 2026 Launcher Unlike iOS, HomeView doesn't use SpringBoard. It has a new launcher called BreadBoard , and the process for its Control Center UI is called CupBoard. iOS 26 There is a hidden HomeView Software 26 graphic in the update, which adds to evidence that Apple wanted to release the HomeView earlier but had to wait on Siri AI. Apple also appears to have been testing the interface on a sixth-generation iPad mini before launch. HomeView Software contains this image, adding more indiciation it was initially going to ship with HomeView Software 26 last year https://t.co/yV1a1lbJcr Aaron (@aaronp613) October 30, 2026 The HomeView is priced at $299, and it can be pre-ordered from Apple's website. It will launch alongside the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K on November 13.

Apple Alerts Stores to iPhone Duo
In a memo shared with Apple Stores and Apple Authorized Service Providers this week, and later obtained by MacRumors , Apple provided technicians with guidance on how to diagnose and address the iPhone Duo's inner display cracking issue. If a customer reports the issue, Apple advised technicians to inspect the iPhone Duo and repair or replace it in accordance with their standard procedures. While the instructions themselves are straightforward, the fact that Apple issued an internal memo suggests the issue is widespread enough to warrant official guidance. Apple's memo said the issue affects a small number of iPhone Duo units, which is consistent with what it said in a public statement on Monday. We are aware of an issue impacting the inner display on a small number of iPhone Duo units, said Apple, in a statement shared with MacRumors . If users experience issues with their iPhone Duo display, they should contact AppleCare for a replacement. You can get support on Apple's website or by calling 1-800-APL-CARE in the U.S. and Canada. Apple said most iPhone Duo units are not susceptible to this issue and that impacted units appear to exhibit the defects rather quickly after usage. Apple said there is no iPhone Duo recall, and the company has yet to launch a public-facing repair program on its website for this issue. Almost immediately after the iPhone Duo began arriving to customers a week ago, a handful of early adopters reported that the device's inner display had cracked , resulting in lines appearing down the middle and towards the right side of the screen. The electronics repair website iFixit completed an iPhone Duo teardown and said that the issue is likely related to a defective hinge on affected units. However, Apple has yet to comment on the underlying cause of the issue.

Apple Says iOS 27.3 Beta Coming Next Week
Apple today announced that the first iOS 27.3 developer beta will be released next week and enable some Apple Intelligence features in China . In a press release shared on the Apple Newsroom website in China, Apple said the beta will be released on Wednesday, November 4, but that likely means Tuesday, November 3 in the U.S. due to time zone differences. Apple said iOS 27.3 will then be released to the public in December, but it did not provide a specific date. iOS 27.3 will enable some of the earlier Apple Intelligence features on the iPhone 15 Pro and newer in China, such as Writing Tools, Genmoji, Clean Up, Notification Summaries, Priority Notifications, Visual Intelligence, and Live Translation with AirPods. Siri AI and other Apple Intelligence features announced at WWDC 2026 will not be available in China on iOS 27.3, according to Apple. Image Playground will also not be available in China. Apple also said it has partnered with Alibaba to add support for its AI assistant Qwen within Siri, Writing Tools, and Visual Intelligence. Both the iPhone and Siri language will need to be set to English and Chinese (Simplified).

14 New Things Your iPhone Can Do in iOS 27.2
Apple released iOS 27.2 on October 26, bringing enhancements to Siri AI, adding Suggestions in Messages, and sneaking in a string of smaller additions across Photos, Podcasts, Games, Apple TV, and FaceTime. iOS 27.2 is available to download to your device now via Settings General Software Update. Note that some features may not be available in all regions or on all iPhone models. Apple maintains a feature availability list with all the details. Ask Siri About Past Conversations Siri AI can now recall your past conversations, so you can ask it about something it told you before, like the restaurants it recommended last week. Siri AI features require an iPhone 16 model or later, or an iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max. Get Answers From More of Your Personal Context Siri AI can now draw from more sources when answering, including photos attached in Messages, Calendar event attendees, and your voicemails. Apple says you'll also get better results from Safari history and Reading List. Use Siri in More Languages Siri AI now supports French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish, in addition to English. Just keep in mind that, as things stand, it's not available in the EU or mainland China. Control Which Apps Siri and Search Can Access A new settings menu has been added that lets you choose which apps Siri, Search, and suggestions can access, all from one list. You can find it in Settings Siri Excluded Apps. Copy Just Part of a Siri Response Granular text selection lets you select and copy only the part of a Siri response you need, rather than the whole reply. Act on Suggestions in Messages The new Suggestions in Messages feature aims to help you take quick actions based on the context of a conversation, like adding a Calendar invite for a dinner or saving a Reminder. The feature appeared during iOS 27 beta testing but was held back from the initial release , so its arrival has been a good while coming. Manage Shared Albums More Easily Shared Albums in Photos gain three additions. You can now edit captions and comments, the app can avoid adding duplicate photos, and it can display a reminder before an album expires so participants can save important photos and videos. Spot AI-Generated Images iOS 27.2 supports SynthID watermarking, which aims to help you identify whether an image was generated or modified with generative tools in Photos and Image Playground. See What Your Friends Are Playing In the Games app, the Friends tab now provides context around friend suggestions, plus it shows you any recent games your friends have played on their player pages. Create Apple TV Profiles for Your Household If you have an Apple TV, you can now create profiles in the account settings section on iPhone and iPad. All you need for a profile is a name, plus whether it's for an adult or a child. Creating a profile for a child limits content to a PG rating by default, but there's a customize option for finer control. You can select age ratings for TV shows and movies that are appropriate for the child based on their age. Stream FaceTime From Front and Rear Cameras Dual Capture is now available in group FaceTime calls, so you can stream FaceTime video content from the front and rear cameras at the same time. On a compatible device running iOS 27.2, flipping the camera while on a FaceTime call automatically turns on Dual Capture. Dual Capture is available on the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone Air, iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Duo. Watch Several Live Sports Streams at Once Multiview has been expanded in the Apple TV app to the iPhone, so you can now watch up to four live sports streams at the same time. Multiview works for sports events that come with an Apple TV subscription, so that's Major League Soccer (MLS), Formula 1 (F1) in the U.S., and Friday Night Baseball doubleheaders during the Major League Baseball season. iPhone Duo Edge Light and Apple Pencil Support iOS 27.2 adds Apple Pencil USB-C support to the iPhone Duo. It also includes support for the Edge Light feature that first appeared in macOS to illuminate your face during video calls. Be Reminded of a Contact's Anniversary on a Call A new feature of Call Context reminds you that it's your anniversary when you call that special person as long as you've added the date in the Contacts app. To add an anniversary to a contact, open the Contacts app and select their name. Tap Edit in the corner, then tap add date, and the first suggestion under date is anniversary. Do it now. It could save your marriage...

iPhone Duo Review: One Week Later
It's been a week since the iPhone Duo was released, and MacRumors videographer Dan Barbera wanted to revisit his review since he's been able to use the Duo for a longer stretch of time. Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos. You've probably seen images of iPhone Duos with a bright white line running across one side of the inner display. There is a defect affecting some users, but Apple says it's a problem limited to a small number of units. None of us at MacRumors have had a display crack, and we've seen some AI photos floating around, so it's hard to tell just how many people are actually having problems. iPhone Duos with the hinge issue that causes the display to crack seem to get damaged shortly after purchase, so if you've had an iPhone Duo for the last week and it's still fine, it's not likely to have this defect. The outer display is small, but Dan finds it useful for checking notifications, replying to messages, and scrolling through apps and websites. He unfolds it for multitasking or longer messages, and is a fan of using the iPhone Duo unfolded in portrait mode for watching videos and using an app at the same time. He finds the Touch ID fingerprint sensor easy to find, and says Apple Watch unlock is similar to Face ID . The cameras are just okay, and someone who zooms in a lot is probably going to miss having a telephoto lens. Battery life is between an iPhone 18 Pro and a Pro Max, and for most people, it's likely going to last a full day. Not all apps have been updated for the Duo layout yet, but it's getting better. There's an extension called Wider that extends the Safari window to the edges of the iPhone Duo's outer display, and it's a big improvement. We may see other accommodations in the coming months as developers and users get used to the new layout. Dan says the iPhone Duo is the most excited he's been about an iPhone in a long time, and he plans to keep using it even though he misses having a telephoto lens. Did you get an iPhone Duo? What do you think now that you're a week into using it? Let us know in the comments below.

MacBook Pro With Touch Display: 15 More Details Revealed
Apple on Wednesday unveiled new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with touch-enabled OLED displays , and more details about them continue to be shared by tech reporters who were invited to Apple's hands-on experience in Los Angeles. Nicolas Lellouche of the French website Numerama shared 15 details about the new MacBook Pro models in an article and a social media post . Some of this information has already surfaced, but he provided a useful summary: Apple said the keyboard and trackpad remain the primary input methods, with touch input available as an additional option for those who want it. Apple said there is now a generation of young creators who grew up using touchscreens, so it felt the timing was right to bring the functionality to the Mac. Apple said music creators prefer touch over trackpads for controlling virtual instruments. Traffic light controls in the top-left corner of macOS windows expand when pressed. Items in a list become more spaced out when touched. A swipe up from the bottom of the screen brings up the Dock. A swipe down from the top of the screen brings up Spotlight/Siri AI. A long press is equivalent to a right click. Holding a window and quickly moving it left or right triggers Split View. If you close your Mac while your finger is touching the display, touch input is temporarily deactivated to prevent accidental touches. The camera is stabilized so it does not shake on video calls when you touch the screen. You cannot wake the MacBook Pro by touching the screen. Multi-touch supports up to 10 fingers at the same time. No word yet on toes (kidding). Live Activities from iPhone apps can appear in the Dynamic Island. There are settings that allow you to turn off touch input and the illuminated Apple logo on the MacBook Pro's lid. The new MacBook Pro models can be pre-ordered now and launch Friday, November 6.

Samsung Mocks iPhone Duo Display Cracks in New Ad Campaign
Samsung this week launched an advertising campaign mocking the display issues some people have had with the iPhone Duo . In an Instagram post on its Canadian account, Samsung shared several images showing a bright line through the spot where iPhone Duo models have been experiencing display problems. There are three images, each with different text: Folding is nothing new to us Folding. We know a thing or eight. Switch to Galaxy Z Fold8 A Samsung spokesperson said it's a playful new campaign that taps into the conversation about the growing rivalry in foldables and how experience plays in the category. The first Galaxy foldable smartphone came out in September 2019, and the company introduced its eighth-generation Galaxy Z Fold8 three months ahead of when the iPhone Duo debuted. Shortly after the iPhone Duo launched, some customers ran into hinge issues that caused cracks in the inner display . Affected devices seem to break in the same spot, with a bright line appearing on the OLED screen. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Samsung Canada (@samsungcanada) Apple said it is aware of the issue and that only a small number of iPhone Duo units have a problem. Customers who have a faulty device will see the issue early on, and users with a broken iPhone Duo should contact Apple for a replacement. The response to iPhone Duo from early users has been incredibly positive, and we are seeing exciting things from developers who are rapidly updating their apps to take advantage of its unique form factor. We are aware of an issue impacting the inner display on a small number of iPhone Duo units. If users experience issues with their iPhone Duo display, they should contact AppleCare for a replacement. The iPhone Duo is backordered until January for online orders, though Apple has had some in-store stock available sporadically. There do not appear to be supply issues for the Galaxy Z Fold8, with many colors and capacities delivering on November 3. Apple's iPhone Duo is priced starting at $1,999 for 256GB of storage, while Samsung is charging $1,899 for the same capacity.

Filmmaker Rian Johnson, best known for writing and directing Knives Out, Glass Onion, and Star Wars: The Last Jedi, has seen his new iPhone photography app Chromagraph Camera climb to the top of the paid App Store charts after attracting attention on social media this week. Johnson developed the app with his longtime cinematographer Steve Yedlin and programmer Eric Cameron, bringing image processing techniques from their films to iPhone still photography. Chromagraph currently ranks No. 1 in Photo & Video on the U.S. App Store . Johnson's announcement on X accumulated six million views within a day, while users have been sharing their results, with some photo posts attracting thousands of likes. Chromagraph shoots RAW photos and processes them using techniques Yedlin developed for his films, giving pictures a distinctive treatment of color, contrast, and grain. It also adds halation, a soft glow around bright areas. Users can adjust the look with controls for color, tone, and texture. The effect appears after taking a photo, when users open the app's gallery. Original RAW files are kept intact, so edits can be changed later. For sharing, photographs can be exported as JPEG or HEIC files with the processing applied. An automatic export option also sends each finished photo to the user's photo library. Chromagraph Camera costs $12.99 as a one-time purchase on the App Store and requires iOS 17 or later.

Where Did All the iPhone Duos Go? Mostly to Apple
Apple allocated roughly 80% of its initial iPhone Duo inventory to its retail stores, with locations holding as few as 50 units each, according to Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman. Speaking on the latest episode of his Power On podcast , Gurman, citing people very close to the device's logistics, said most customers who bought a Duo in store on day one got one by waiting in line . Flagship stores were said to have held up to around 250 units, and Fifth Avenue was stocked unusually heavily because Apple executives attended the launch. The inventory split helps explain why pre-orders slipped to late January within minutes on October 16, while most people who queued on launch day walked away with a new phone. At the time, Apple described demand as othing short of extraordinary and said it was working to satisfy demand as quickly as possible, so there's a good chance that, even if a delivery estimate for your order is way out in the future, it could improve over time.

New Apple TV 4K and iPad Mini: RAM Amounts Revealed
Apple today released Xcode 27.2, and it reveals how much RAM is in the new fourth-generation Apple TV 4K and the new iPad mini with an OLED display . As expected, the new Apple TV 4K with the A19 chip is equipped with 8GB of RAM, while the new iPad mini with the A20 Pro chip has 12GB of RAM. For good measure, Xcode shows the iPhone Duo is equipped with 12GB of RAM. None of these RAM amounts are surprising, but Apple does not list this information in its tech specs for these devices, so they are worth confirming. An industrywide memory chip shortage has led to skyrocketing prices for RAM and storage chips, resulting in Apple raising prices this year across many products, including iPhones, iPads, Macs, HomePods, the Apple TV 4K, and more.

The best touchscreen MacBook is already on your desk
Macworld Apple rarely arrives first to the party, but it tends to deliver an innovative twist when it eventually catches up to its rivals. AirPods , Face ID , Apple Watch , even the iPhone Duo werent the first of their kind, but they stood out for their leaps in design and functionality. However, as the launch of Apples first touchscreen MacBook Pro just proved, thats not always the case. Commercial touchscreen laptops have been around for almost two decades. Despite that, standard models have remained the default for valid reasons, most notably due to their perfect ergonomics. Instead of perfecting the formula as it usually does, Apple distracted fans with a recycled favoriteslapping on a glowing logo that had been retired a decade ago. What makes the touchscreen MacBook especially baffling is how unnecessary it is. Apple already figured out the touchscreen setup back in 2019, and its been hiding in plain sight all these years. Sidecar attachment Sidecar was released as part of macOS Catalina in 2019. Billed as a way to expand your workspace, it essentially lets you use an iPad as an external wireless display for your Mac. Once its connected via AirPlay, you can drag Mac windows to your iPads screen and interact with them as you would on your Mac. Most controls were previously limited to Apple Pencil or mouse and keyboard input, but with macOS 27, you can use your fingers, too. Theres even a handy Sidebar on the iPad for common controls, like bringing up the on-screen keyboard or returning to the iPads Home screen, along with the Touch Bar that was previously included with certain MacBook models. Sidecar turns your iPad into a wireless external display for your MacBook. Apple Unhinged design Steve Jobs famously opposed touchscreen laptops because after an extended period of time, your arm wants to fall off. When reading early rumors about the touchscreen MacBook, I had expectedor at least hopedApple would do something different by incorporating an innovative hinge mechanism. A convertible form factor would have allowed users to interact with the touchscreen horizontally and easily switch back to the traditional laptop mode whenever needed. Alas, that did not come to fruition. I acknowledge that we shouldnt take everything Steve ever said as gospel because technology evolves, but many of his remarks still hold true today. The main issue with touchscreen laptops has never been weight or thickness, as some Apple execs recently suggested. At no point while using my MacBook does it feel natural for me to extend my arm and touch its display, and most people would probably relate. The new MacBook Pro is no different, and a sturdier hinge and lighter chassis dont resolve the actual problem. Sidecar is a whole different story, however. My iPad is untethered from the MacBooks keyboard, letting me flexibly touch its screen horizontally or otherwise. This allows me to utilize touch input on macOS when the need arises without straining my arm. Its precisely the kind of innovation Apple is generally praised for, and weve already had it for years. Out of touch The MacBook Pro with a PROLED XDR Display caters to professional creatives by letting them interact with macOS apps using their fingers. Yet, curiously, the machine is seemingly incompatible with many of these professional creatives go-to accessory: the Apple Pencil. This bars power users from taking advantage of precise interactions, pressure sensitivity, tilt detection, and all the other perks they cannot achieve with their fingers. Meanwhile, Sidecar on the iPad supports Apple Pencil inputnot to mention that iPadOS can run many desktop-class creative suites natively. So, whether youre Sidecar-ing or using the iPad independently, you get to unlock advanced creation controls and workflows that surpass what you can do with the new MacBook Pro. Beyond functionality, using an Apple Pencil minimizes fingerprints on your display, and creators know all too well how relevant that is. Im far from being a professional photographer, but Im constantly wiping down my 13-inch iPad Pro M4 before editing pictures because color correction and healing blemishes on the pixel level require that kind of clarity. Without Apple Pencil support, the new MacBook Pros display is going to get all smudgy as you attempt to get work done. You dont need a touchscreen MacBook if you already have an iPad. Apple Mac Duo Another advantage for using Sidecar as a separate wireless monitor for your Mac is having two sets of app windows open on each screen simultaneously to work on more complex tasks. Touch Bar enthusiasts will also be delighted to learn that the discontinued MacBook feature lives on through Sidecar. Non-MacBook Pro users, like those with a Mac mini/Studio, MacBook Air, or iMac, will especially appreciate being able to utilize the touchscreen without spending almost $3,000 on a new laptopall thanks to Sidecar. In fact, it might be wiser to buy a Mac mini and an iPad Pro than a touchscreen MacBook Pro. Lets break it down. An M5 Pro Mac mini ($1,699) combined with an iPad Pro M5 ($1,199) costs $2,898a dollar less than the touchscreen MacBook Pro (M5 Pro)s starting price. With this package, youd be getting one of the most advanced tandem OLED panels on the market and two desktop-grade processors instead of one, not to mention Apple Pencil support and far greater versatility. Sidecar gives you the versatility you wont get in a touchscreen MacBook. Foundry Pick a side Ive long depended on Sidecar with my MacBook Air, andunlike the touchscreen MacBook Proit remains a prominent example of Apples classic It just works philosophy. The built-in feature requires absolutely no setup, cables, or technical literacy. Your Mac magically pairs to your nearby iPad and lets you mirror or extend the display wirelessly. Thats the epitome of touchscreen support on a laptop, even surpassing the highly advanced convertibles in terms of practicality and overall user experience. Ultimately, if touchscreen laptops were truly essential, they wouldve evolved meaningfully throughout the past years, and Apple wouldnt have waited this long to release one. Professionals have been using standard laptops for decades just fine, and add-ons like Wacom graphics tablets continue to thrive among digital artists due to their precision and horizontal designs. Steve Jobs once said that people dont know what they want until you show it to them. Apple already showed us the right way to do touch on a Mac with Sidecar, and it shouldnt have caved to market pressure to build the wrong one.
How macOS Adapts Its Controls for Touch on the New MacBook Pro
Apple announced a new MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display on Wednesday. It's Apple's first Mac with a screen that supports touch, and demonstrations Apple gave to the media show how macOS reshapes its controls for finger input. Menu bar items expand under a fingertip, window controls get bigger, and the Dynamic Island pulls down into a floating widget, amongst other changes. Back in 2016, then-senior VP of marketing Phil Schiller (now Apple Fellow) argued that putting touch on a Mac display would mean totally redesigning the menu bar for fingers something he said would clash with pointer devices. Apple's modern solution, however, is more subtle. The menu bar looks the same, but when you move a finger over a menu item, it expands to let you make a selection with more precision. The same idea applies elsewhere in the macOS interface. For example, the traffic-light buttons that control window size and position also get bigger when you touch them, after which you make your selection with a tap. You can also swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal a hidden Dock. A Pull-Down Dynamic Island Elsewhere, the new MacBook Pro replaces the notch with a Dynamic Island where Spotlight, Live Activities, and Siri AI live. You can pull down on the Dynamic Island to open an expanded version that floats on the screen like a widget, giving you access to Siri responses and Spotlight search. Apple says macOS automatically translates touch into clicks, so many existing apps will work with touch right away no developer updates required. Possible interactions include swiping to scroll a webpage, pinching to zoom in on a photo, dragging and dropping slides between presentations, and double-tapping a window to fill the screen. The foundation has been visible in macOS for months. macOS Golden Gate added iPhone-style pull-to-refresh gestures in apps like Safari, Mail, and Calendar, while code in macOS 27.2 added touch-specific gesture recognition in Safari, Notes, Photos, and Quick Look. Precision Work in Pro Apps It appears that touch isn't just for casual swipes either. Pro application features have also been updated to work with fingers, such as color grading in DaVinci Resolve and tweaking soundtracks in Logic Pro. How well the interactions hold up in daily use is something we'll only be able to judge when the new MacBook Pro arrives in customers' hands. The machines are available to pre-order now, starting at $2,899 for the 14-inch model and $3,399 for the 16-inch model. They officially launch on Friday, November 6.

How Accurate Were Rumors About Apple
Rumors about Apple's work on a touchscreen OLED MacBook Pro started in 2023, when Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman said there would be a MacBook Pro with an OLED display and a touchscreen, but OLED rumors date back even further. We heard a lot about the new Mac over the last few years, and we thought we'd take a look back to see what was right and what was wrong. OLED 2016 - In 2016, ETNews said Apple was considering OLED displays for future MacBooks. 2019 - The Elec said Apple was in talks with Samsung about OLED displays for a future 16-inch MacBook Pro. 2021 - The Elec said a future MacBook would use an OLED display with a two-stack tandem structure , which is what Apple announced today. 2023 - ETNews claimed Apple was sourcing OLED panels in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes for the MacBook Pro, which turned out to be accurate. 2023 - Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said Apple would release the first MacBook with an OLED display by the end of 2024 at the earliest, which was incorrect. Touch 2023 - Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman was the first to report on a touch display. In January 2023, he said Apple was working on an OLED MacBook Pro with a touchscreen. 2025 - Kuo said in September 2025 that the OLED MacBook Pro would have touch sensors integrated into the display panel's top layer, which was correct. No Notch/Dynamic Island 2024 - Omdia said in December 2024 that Apple would remove the notch from the MacBook Pro in a few years, replacing it with a hole-punch camera. The hole-punch aspect wasn't quite correct. 2025 - In August 2025, Omdia said an OLED MacBook coming in 2026 would have an iPhone-like Dynamic Island cutout instead of a notch . 2025 - In October 2025, Gurman said the OLED MacBook Pro would have a so-called hole-punch design with a display area around the sensor similar to the Dynamic Island. 2026 - In February 2026, Gurman described the Dynamic Island as interactive and able to contextually expand based on the app or Mac feature in use. Hinge 2025 - Gurman was the first to mention a reinforced hinge that would keep the display from moving when touched. Design 2024 - In November 2024, Gurman said the MacBook Pro would have a thinner design , which was accurate. 2026 - In October 2026, Gurman said he didn't expect the MacBook Pro would be significantly thinner, tempering expectations. 2026 - In October 2026, he said the MacBook Pro models would be significantly lighter. Chips 2025 - In October 2025, Gurman predicted the OLED MacBook Pro models would use M6-series chips, and in November , he specified M6 Pro and M6 Max chips. 2026 - In June 2026, Gurman said there would be no M6 Pro or M6 Max chips , and the OLED MacBook Pro would instead use M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. 2026 - In September 2026, Omdia said the OLED MacBook Pro would have an M5 Ultra chip option , which was wrong. Pricing 2026 - In March 2026, Gurman said the OLED MacBook Pro models would be more expensive and would be above the mini-LED MacBook Pro models, which was correct. 2026 - Just a day before the MacBook Pro models were announced, Gurman accurately predicted the $2,899 and $3,399 pricing. Naming March 2026 - Gurman suggested Apple was working on a MacBook Ultra , but he did hedge and say Apple might not use the Ultra naming. April 2026 - Macworld claimed Apple would release a MacBook Ultra in late 2026 or early 2027. October 2026 - MacRumors ' Joe Rossignol speculated that Apple could call the new MacBook the MacBook Studio, but that didn't happen. Launch Timing 2021 - In March 2021, DigiTimes said Apple would release MacBook Pro models with an OLED display in 2022, which was not accurate. 2021 - In November 2021, The Elec said an OLED MacBook Pro would launch in 2025, but also suggested the launch could be postponed. 2023 - When Gurman first reported on the OLED MacBook Pro, he said it would launch in 2025. 2023 - In March 2023, display analyst Ross Young accurately predicted Apple would launch an OLED MacBook Pro in 2026, but he also incorrectly claimed an OLED MacBook Air would come first in 2024. 2024 - In November 2024, Gurman updated launch timing to probably 2026. 2025 - In August 2025, Dealsite.co.kr said Apple would launch a MacBook Pro with OLED in late 2026, which was accurate. 2025 - In September 2025, The Elec also said the OLED MacBook Pro would launch in the fourth quarter of 2026. 2025 - In October 2025, Gurman updated his launch timing prediction to late 2026 or early 2027 . 2026 - In February 2026, Gurman said the MacBook Pro would launch in 2026 , though in April he went back to 2026 to 2027 and said the touchscreen MacBook Pro launch timing could slip to the end of his predicted window because of the chip shortage. By September, he updated timing to later this year, and he mentioned a November 6 launch on October 15. Not Rumored Some features in the new MacBook Pro were never rumored and came as a surprise. Illuminated Apple logo Up to 16TB storage Revamped speakers PROLED XDR naming Wrap Up Most of the rumors about Apple's OLED MacBook Pro were right, and Gurman scored a win being the first to suggest it would also have a touchscreen. Launch timing was harder to pin down, partly because Apple's plans shifted over the years, and more recently, because of the ongoing RAM shortages.

Touchscreen MacBook Pro Guide: Release date, price and new features
Macworld Apple has announced its first touchscreen MacBook Pro lineup, officially called MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display. Available in 14.2-inch and 16.3-inch sizes with M5 Pro or M5 Max processors, the new models combine tandem OLED technology with direct touchscreen input. Touch is standard across the new range, while non-touchscreen MacBook Pros remain available. The biggest changes include Dynamic Island, a smaller and lighter enclosure, and a new 16TB maximum SSD option on M5 Max configurations. The display adds Adobe RGB support and higher peak brightness while retaining a maximum 120Hz refresh rate. Other features include up to 128GB of RAM, Thunderbolt 5, Wi-Fi 7 and audio with a claimed 50% deeper bass. The touchscreen models retain the same chip families, memory capacities and advertised battery endurance as their equivalent non-touch M5 models, making this primarily an upgrade to the display, design and how users interact with their Mac. U.S. starting prices carry a $400 premium over equivalent non-touch versions, with the 14-inch M5 Pro starting at $2,899 and the 16-inch M5 Max starting at $4,799. Whats new compared with the non-touchscreen MacBook Pro? The processor generation, maximum RAM, Thunderbolt generation, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth versions and Apples battery-life ratings havent changed, but there is a lot that is different.

It comes in Space Black or Silver, with an enclosure made from 100% recycled aluminium. Compared to the existing models, the weight reduction is more substantial than the thickness reduction: the 14-inch models lose 220g, while the 16-inch models lose approximately 310320g. Slimmer borders also allow the larger screen to grow slightly despite a reduced enclosure footprint. Apple describes a revised hinge and cooling system. It claims greater hinge stability during touch input and says the cooling design directs warm air away from the display. Well be verifying those claims in our review of the new laptop.

Touchscreen MacBook display The PROLED XDR Display isnt just for touching. Apple Both sizes offer M5 Pro and M5 Max configurations, and every PROLED XDR model includes touch. There is no base-M6 configuration in this touchscreen range. OLEDs benefits concern image reproduction: individually lit pixels, deeper blacks and reduced blooming around bright objects. Touch adds a separate benefit direct interaction with content. The maximum refresh rate remains 120Hz. Apple indicates that pixel compensation mitigates ageing and burn-in, rather than establishing that OLED cannot deteriorate. It quotes 1% reflectance for standard glass; nano-texture scatters reflections further. There is also an oleophobic coating to reduce fingerprints. For cleaning, Apple advises powering down and using a soft cloth appropriately dampened for standard screens; never spray liquid directly onto the display. For nano-texture, use the supplied polishing cloth and follow Apples specific care instructions.

Peak brightness does not mean the whole screen continuously operates at 2,000 nits. Which MacBook models get a touchscreen? Touch comes with the 14- and 16-inch PROLED XDR models using M5 Pro or M5 Max; the M6 MacBook Pro and Liquid Retina XDR models have no touchscreen. How does touch work in macOS? Apple Apple confirms scrolling, pinch-to-zoom, drawing, dragging and dropping, double-tapping a window to fill the screen, and flicking windows into tiled positions. Touch works alongside keyboard and trackpad input. Dynamic Island provides access to activities and controls. Spotlights relocation there requires Siri AI to be available and enabled. In everyday use, this offers a direct way to move through documents, enlarge photographs or reposition content. macOS translates taps into clicks for many existing apps; developers can use gesture APIs for more specialised controls. Apple indicated that there are forthcoming updates for Microsoft 365, Notion, Canva, Zoom, Lightroom, DaVinci Resolve, Blender, Cinema 4D, ZBrush, Shapr3D and djay Pro later this year. Creator Studio updates are confirmed to be coming in November. Touchscreen MacBook Pro processor M5 Pro and M5 Max As expected, the processors are carried-over M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. The new models feature the same CPU/GPU options, Neural Engine and memory bandwidth as the equivalent non-touch models. All have a 16-core Neural Engine and GPU Neural Accelerators. The 18-core CPU comprises six super cores and 12 performance cores; the 15-core version has five and 10 respectively. Apple introduced these chips earlier in 2026. They use third-generation 3nm manufacturing and Apples Fusion Architecture, joining two dies into one system-on-chip through advanced packaging. Those are characteristics of the existing M5 Pro/Max generation, not manufacturing upgrades introduced with touch. For an example of Apples older-generation comparisons, it claims 10.9 faster time to first token than M1 Pro for a 14-inch M5 Pro model. Apples test used an 18-core CPU/20-core GPU, 64GB RAM and 4TB SSD against an M1 Pro with 10-core CPU/16-core GPU, 32GB RAM and 8TB SSD. The workload was a quantised 14-billion-parameter model, an 8K-token prompt and LM Studio. Apple made no indication that there was any CPU/GPU performance increase over an equivalent non-touch M5 configuration, or a quantified improvement in whole-system power efficiency. Separately, Apple has launched the 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M6 chip . Touchscreen MacBook memory: How much RAM is included? There is no increase in base or maximum memory over the equivalent non-touch M5 models. The M5 Pro starts with 24GB, the 32-core GPU M5 Max has 36GB, and the 40-core version starts with 48GB. Reaching 64GB with M5 Pro requires the 20-core GPU; reaching 128GB requires the 40-core M5 Max. More memory can accommodate larger creative projects, more demanding multitasking and larger local AI models. Touchscreen MacBook storage: What is the highest capacity? The entry capacities are unchanged. However, it is possible to upgrade to 16TB on M5 Max, up from 8TB. In order to obtain that capacity buyers need either the 32-core or 40-core GPU. Apple makes an up to twice as fast storage claim that compares a 16TB M5 Max system with an 8TB M4 Max system. Both had 128GB RAM; testing used FIO 3.43 with 1,024KB requests, a 10GB file and queue depth eight. That test doesnt demonstrate doubled SSD performance over the non-touch M5 range. We will be running our own benchmarks. Touchscreen MacBook camera, microphones and speakers The camera remains a 12MP Center Stage camera with Desk View and 1080p video recording. Advanced video stabilisation is new, however. Authentication remains Touch ID. Dynamic Island is an interface feature, not confirmation of Face ID or a TrueDepth camera. Apple retains a six-speaker system, force-cancelling woofers, Spatial Audio and Dolby Atmos support. Apple claims 50% deeper bass and adds closed-lid audio tuning. The three-microphone array retains directional beamforming, Voice Isolation and Wide Spectrum modes. Touchscreen MacBook battery Apple lists video-streaming ratings of 22/20 hours for the 14-inch Pro/Max and 24/22 hours for the 16-inch Pro/Max, the same as the non-touchscreen models. Touchscreen MacBook Pro connectivity and ports Both sizes include: One 3.5mm headphone jack with support for high-impedance headphones. Three Thunderbolt 5 USB-C ports, supporting charging and DisplayPort. One HDMI port. One SDXC card slot. MagSafe 3. Apple quotes Thunderbolt/USB4 support up to 120Gb/s and DisplayPort 2.1. Apples N1 wireless chip, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 and Thread are included, but they are not touchscreen-model upgrades. External display support The M5 Pro chip supports three external displays at 6K/60Hz or 4K/165Hz. Alternatively, it can support one 8K/60Hz, 5K/120Hz or 4K/240Hz display, plus a second at up to 5K/120Hz or 4K/200Hz. The M5 Max chip supports four external displays at 6K/60Hz or 4K/165Hz, or two displays at up to 8K/60Hz, 5K/120Hz or 4K/240Hz. Apples PROLED XDR specifications lists 165Hz for the multi-display 4K configurations, rather than the older 144Hz figure.

Is touch worth the premium? Provisionally, the stronger justification is the combined OLED display, lower weight and touch capability. Buyers who regularly manipulate visual content may find direct input useful. Those who mainly type, use a mouse or work on an external display have less reason to pay the extra $400. A firm verdict needs testing of reflections, fingerprints, reach, hinge movement and app behaviour. Which model? The 14-inch M5 Pro is the most accessible and portable option. Choose the 16-inch M5 Pro for a larger workspace and Apples longest battery rating. M5 Max makes sense when GPU performance, memory bandwidth, more than 64GB RAM or storage above 4TB serves a demonstrated workload; it is unnecessary simply to obtain touch. Should existing owners upgrade? For owners of an M5 Pro or M5 Max MacBook Pro, this is principally a screen and portability decision. M4 owners should similarly assess the display benefits against the cost. Older Apple-silicon and Intel owners may gain more broadly, but performance improvements vary by application. This or an iPad Pro? Choose the MacBook Pro when desktop Mac applications, its keyboard, ports and professional workflows are essential. Choose an iPad Pro when a handheld tablet and supported Apple Pencil workflow are central. Apple has not established Pencil support, a detachable display or tablet conversion for this MacBook Pro.

The Mac Studio with 512GB of RAM is shipping, and it costs New Car Money
Macworld People like to joke that a high-end Mac costs more than my first car did! Well, after being delayed for about a month, the Mac Studio with M5 Ultra chip and 512GB of RAM is finally shipping, and it costs more than some brand new cars today . When the new Mac Studios with M5 Max and M5 Ultra started shipping on September 22, one configuration was not yet available: that with a whopping 512GB of RAM. In order to select that much RAM, you must also choose the M5 Ultra configuration, of course, and the version with the maximum CPU and GPU cores at that. That puts the minimum possible price for a Mac Studio with 512GB of RAM at an eye-watering $22,299. Its a full $11,500 more than the exact same configuration with 256GB of RAM. To put the price in perspective, its the about same price as the entry-level trim for a Hyundai Elantra, Nissan Sentra, or Kia K4. Apple Yes, you read that right. You can buy two M5 Ultra Mac Studios, each with 256GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD, for a total of $21,598 ($10,799 each). Youre still getting 512GB of RAM in total, but double the SSD and two full-size M5 Ultra processors, and it will cost you about $700 less . And thats with a paltry 1TB SSD, which youd be crazy to configure if you were spending this much on a computer. Its $500 more for 2TB, and $1,500 for 4TB. But hey, if youre made of money anyway, why not spring for the 16TB SSD, a mere $7,500 upgrade? That means the most you can spend on a single Mac Studio is $29,799. Do you want a fully loaded Mac Studio, or a Toyota Corolla hybrid at the full XLE trim level?

South Korea Rules Against Apple Over App Store Payment Rules
South Korea has fined Apple 20.8 billion won ($15.5 million) and ordered it to let developers link to external payment options from their apps, The Associated Press reports. The Korea Media and Communications Commission found that Apple and Google effectively require developers to use their payment systems, violating a 2021 law intended to allow alternatives. Google was fined 42.9 billion won ($32 million). Both companies allowed third-party payment services within apps, but charged developers a 26% commission and restricted some features. The regulator said these conditions pushed developers toward Apple and Google's payment systems, while rules against external payment links limited their other options. The companies must also improve their app review processes. The commission found that some reviews were delayed without clear explanations or information about when they would resume. It separately found that Apple charged South Korean developers higher commissions than overseas developers between 2015 and January 2023. Apple told The Associated Press that it disagrees with the ruling and is considering its legal options. The company says its policies comply with South Korean law and that its payment system helps protect customers against fraud.

Social media is full of weird video game mashups. Where are they all coming from?
Apple has raised the MacBook Neo's starting price from $599 to $649 on its online education store in the U.S., meaning it now offers college students and other eligible groups only a $50 discount on the laptop, down from $100. The change was made within the past week, with equivalent increases in local currencies in other countries. When the MacBook Neo first launched in March, it started at just $499 on Apple's education store, but that rose to $599 in June and now to $649. Apple raised the MacBook Neo's starting price for the general public from $599 to $699 in June as well, and it has also raised prices on iPhones , other Macs and iPads , and additional products this year. The company has attributed the price increases to a memory chip shortage that has led to significantly higher costs for RAM and storage chips. MacBook Neo: Education Pricing March: $499 June: $599 October: $649 MacBook Neo: General Pricing March: $599 JunePresent: $699 In May, Apple expanded the UNiDAYS verification system that it already used in many European countries to the U.S. and Canada, meaning that customers who are not students, educational staff, or otherwise eligible are no longer be able to break the rules and take advantage of the lower prices available through the education store. Apple reportedly plans to release a second-generation MacBook Neo with an A19 chip, 12GB of RAM, and new color options in the first half of 2027 . The current model has an A18 Pro chip with 8GB of RAM, and it is available in Silver, Blush, Citrus, and Indigo.

iOS 27.2 Adds Selfie-Based Age Verification
Apple has added selfie-based age verification in iOS 27.2 and iPadOS 27.2, allowing users in supported regions to demonstrate that they are adults without submitting a credit card or government-issued ID. The feature estimates whether someone is an adult by analyzing their face, according to a new Apple support document . The capture process involves following onscreen prompts to turn and tilt the head, providing views of the face from four directions. Apple says the verification process combines processing on the user's device with analysis through Private Cloud Compute. The results are brought together locally, and Apple says the images remain inaccessible to the company and anyone else during processing. After successful verification, the selfie is deleted. Users who receive an age confirmation prompt may be offered the option, although availability varies by location. Regional requirements determine when adult verification is necessary. Possible triggers include setting up an Apple Account, installing a software update, accessing apps rated 18+, and adjusting safety controls. Once a user has successfully established their adult status, Apple says further confirmation is unnecessary. Apple released iOS 27.2 on October 26.

A teaser video shared by Apple CEO John Ternus today hints at a potential name for the rumored MacBook models with touch-enabled OLED displays: MacBook Studio. The video shows an Apple logo being projected onto a wall against a city skyline, and perhaps that wall is a movie studio. Apple is expected to show off the new MacBooks to selected tech reporters and content creators at an experience in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. Pacific Time today , and that is the home of Hollywood movie studios after all. If this theory proves to be accurate, then Apple would offer both a Mac Studio desktop computer and a MacBook Studio laptop, plus the Studio Display. Apple would likely position the MacBook Studio as being aimed at creators, and it would surely promote its recently-updated Apple Creator Studio suite of apps alongside the announcement today. This is obviously all just some last-minute speculation for fun we did the same with iPhone Duo . The new models could stick with MacBook Pro branding, and the long-rumored MacBook Ultra name still remains a possibility too. Bonus theory: What if the teaser hints at the glowing Apple logo returning to the MacBook's lid? We truly might be getting ahead of ourselves now.

iOS versions: Explore every iOS version from day one to today
Macworld Since the launch of the original iPhone in 2007, Apple has released dozens of versions of iOS, introducing new features, design changes, performance improvements, security updates and more. From the early days of iPhone OS through landmark releases such as iOS 7, iOS 14 and the current iOS 27, each version has changed the way we use the iPhone. Whether youre trying to identify the version running on your iPhone, check compatibility before upgrading, or find out which releases are still supported, this guide covers every version of iPhone OS and iOS in chronological order from the original iPhone OS 1 to iOS 27. Discover the major features introduced with each release, from the App Store and copy and paste to widgets, Apple Intelligence and the new Siri AI introduced with iOS 27. Below, youll find a complete list of iOS versions in order, along with release dates, key features, compatibility and support information. What is the latest version of iOS? The current version of the iPhone operating system is iOS 27 , more specifically, iOS 27.2, released on October 26. Apple is also continuing to issue security updates for iOS 26 and iOS 18 . iOS 26.7.2 and iOS 18.7.11 were also released on October 26. iOS version history: Every iOS and the features it brought There are significant milestones scattered across the iOS timeline: Steve Jobs holding the first iPhone at the launch in 2007. Apple iPhone OS (2007): iOS made its debut in 2007 with the first iPhone. However, when Steve Jobs held the little device aloft revealing it to the world for the first time, it wasnt running iOS 1. Instead, it was reported by Apple to be powered by OS X , the software for the Mac. Over time it was called iPhone OS, until finally gaining its now legendary name in the fourth generation of the software when it was shortened to iOS in 2010. iPhone OS 2 (2008): The second major release of the iPhone software was groundbreaking because it brought third party apps and introduced the App Store. iPhone OS 3 (2009): This update was designed to make it easier to find things, while at the same time adding the ability to have up to 11 pages to the Home Screen. Messages could support MMS, Video recording became possible and it was possible to save voice notes with the Voice Memos app. iOS 4 (2010): Apple changed the name to iOS and added the ability to put apps in folders for a better organised Home screen with iOS 4. The FaceTime, iBooks and Game Centre apps also arrived. The iPad also joined the scene, sharing the same operating system as the iPhone. iOS 5 (2011): iOS 5 was introduced along with the iPhone 4S in 2011, which saw the debut of Siri as a built-in part of the operating system. The Notification Centre was introduced and iCloud arrived bringing synchronization between devices. This was the first time iOS could be installed directly on the iPhone without requiring a computer. iOS 6 (2012): This is where Apple Maps came onto the scene. Podcasts and Passbook (now Wallet) apps also arrived. iCloud Photo Stream made it easier to share photos with family and friends. iOS 6 was the last with a skeuomorphic design. iOS 7 (2013): With iOS 7 iPhone users got a redesigned user interface, which looked a lot more modern with flatter icons. iOS 7 introduced AirDrop and CarPlay. iOS 7 had a brand new look (at the time). Apple iOS 8 (2014): One of the features of iOS 8 was Continuity, which linked the iPhone, iPad and Mac together, so you could handoff tasks from one device to another. Family Sharing also arrived making it easier to manage a childs iPhone . iOS 9 (2015): iOS 9 improved the Notes app, added Apple News, and featured a new Night Shift mode that removed some of the blue light that can disturb circadian rhythms and stop someone sleeping. iOS 10 (2016): There were updates to Messages and changes to the Photos app in iOS 10 . A new Home app brought HomeKit control. Maps got a redesign. Universal Clipboard meant that users could copy something on a Mac and paste it on an iPhone, for example. iOS 11 (2017): Things changed significantly in iOS 11 in 2017 as it brought the first touch and gesture interface, allowing the first iPhone without a Home button the iPhone X. There was a new Files app making it easier to access content synced or saved in iCloud and the Control Centre got a redesign. iOS 12 (2018): Screen Time, Memoji, Group FaceTime and Siri Shortcuts were new in iOS 12 . iOS 13 (2019): Another major shift came with iOS 13 in 2019, as Apples mobile operating system for the iPad split with the iPhone, with iPadOS powering new iPads. Updates to iOS included Dark Mode, new privacy features and the ability to Sign in with Apple and hide your email address. The Photos and Apple Maps apps got a redesign and a swipe-to-type keyboard was added. iOS 14 (2020): One of the most notable additions was Back Tap, a feature that effectively turned the back of the iPhone into an extra button. Home Screen widgets and the App Library were also major new features. Starting with iOS 14 .2, music recognition was built directly into the operating system via a Shazam button. iOS 15 on iPhone 12. Foundry iOS 15 (2021): Focus Mode arrived in iOS 15 to help users manage the onslaught of notifications, Live Text and Visual Look up made it possible to interact with text within photos (Live Text) and use the camera to identify objects like plants and animals. The Safari browser received a major interface update as did Maps and the Weather app. Read: iOS 15 vs iOS 14 . iOS 16 (2022): One of the most visible changes in iOS 16 was the complete overhaul of the Lock screen, which allowed users to add widgets for the first time to view data at a glance without unlocking their devices. Apple added Rapid Security Responses so that it could deliver important security patches outside of an iOS update. Read: iOS 16 vs iOS 15 . iOS 17 (2023): NameDrop in iOS 17 made it possible to share information by bringing two iPhones together. Stolen Device Protection added a layer of security by requiring biometric authentication (Face ID or Touch ID) before an Apple ID password could be changed. Live Voicemail meant that iPhone users could get a live transcription of a message. Read: iOS 17 vs iOS 16. iOS 18 (2024): The iOS 18 update laid the groundwork for Apples subsequent AI initiatives. There was also a complete redesign of the Photos app, a dedicated Passwords app, and Control Center Customization. Read: iOS 18 vs iOS 17 . iOS 26 (2025): Rather than progress to iOS 19, Apple aligned the numbering of all its operating systems according to the year with iOS 26 . It wasnt just a name change though, there was a significant visual and functional overhaul with a Liquid Glass design language. Big changes also came to the Phone app with Call Screening and Hold Assist. Live Translations make it easy to communicate with foreign friends and colleagues. The Camera app had a simplifying redesign and a Games app that integrated Game Centre features. Heres how iOS 26 and iOS 18 compare . iOS 27 (2026): iOS 27 launched in September 2026, including a massive overhaul of Siri, better Apple Intelligence integration, improved photo and camera tools, and parental control enhancements. Heres how iOS 26 and iOS 27 compare . Foundry List of iOS versions and latest versions Heres a breakdown of all the versions of iOS that have been released, when they were released, when they were last updated, and the latest iOS version. OS version Release date Latest version Latest update date iPhone OS 1 June 29, 2007 iOS 1.1.5 July 15, 2008 iPhone OS 2 July 11, 2008 iOS 2.2.1 January 27, 2009 iPhone OS 3 June 17, 2009 iOS 3.2.2 August 11, 2010 iOS 4 June 22, 2010 iOS 4.3.5 July 25, 2011 iOS 5 October 12, 2011 iOS 5.1.1 May 7, 2012 iOS 6 September 19, 2012 iOS 6.1.6 February 21, 2014 iOS 7 September 18, 2013 iOS 7.1.2 June 30, 2014 iOS 8 September 17, 2014 iOS 8.4.1 August 13, 2015 iOS 9 September 16, 2015 iOS 9.3.6 July 22, 2019 iOS 10 September 13, 2016 iOS 10.3.4 July 22, 2019 iOS 11 September 19, 2017 iOS 11.4.1 July 9, 2018 iOS 12 September 17, 2018 iOS 12.5.8 January 26, 2026 iOS 13 September 19, 2019 iOS 13.7 September 1, 2020 iOS 14 September 17, 2020 iOS 14.8.1 October 26, 2021 iOS 15 September 20, 2021 iOS 15.8.8 May 11, 2026 iOS 16 September 12, 2022 iOS 16.7.16 May 11, 2026 iOS 17 September 18, 2023 iOS 17.7.2 November 19, 2024 iOS 18 September 16, 2024 iOS 18.7.11 October 26, 2026 iOS 26 September 15, 2025 iOS 26.7.2 October 26, 2026 iOS 27 September 14, 2026 iOS 27.2 October 26, 2026 Which iOS versions are supported by Apple? iOS 27 is Apples current iPhone operating system and the version receiving new features and functionality. It can run on the iPhone 11 and newer, as well as the iPhone SE (2nd generation) and later. Every iPhone that supports iOS 26 also supports iOS 27, but Apple is continuing to maintain iOS 26 with security updates, at least for now. On October 26, Apple released iOS 26.7.2 and iOS 18.7.11 alongside iOS 27.2, allowing users who havent yet upgraded to iOS 27 to continue receiving important security fixes. Apple also periodically releases security updates for considerably older versions of iOS on devices that can no longer upgrade to a newer release. Which iOS versions get security updates only? Even after Apple stops developing new features for older versions of iOS, it can continue to issue security updates for devices that cannot run the latest operating system. As explained in How long does Apple support iPhones? , this means some older iPhones can continue receiving security fixes years after they stop getting major iOS upgrades. In August 2026, for example, Apple released iOS 18.7.10 with security fixes for the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR. Those are the iPhones that remain on iOS 18 because they cannot upgrade to iOS 26 or iOS 27. Apples newer iPhones are generally expected to move to a newer version of iOS to receive the latest security fixes. There was no equivalent iOS 18 update on September 28, when Apple released iOS 27.0.1 and iOS 26.7.1. The latter patched a CoreGraphics vulnerability that Apple says may have been exploited in highly targeted attacks against versions of iOS earlier than iOS 27. iOS 26.7.1 is available for the iPhone 11 and later. Support extends even further back. On May 11, 2026, Apple released iOS 15.8.8 for the iPhone 6s, iPhone 7 and first-generation iPhone SE, and iOS 16.7.16 for the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X. Both updates included security fixes. This doesnt mean that Apple will continue to support these iOS versions. That means the following older iPhones were still receiving some form of software support in 2026: iPhone 6s and 6s Plus iPhone SE (1st generation) iPhone 7 and 7 Plus iPhone 8 and 8 Plus iPhone X iPhone XR iPhone XS and XS Max Many of those iPhones appear in Apples list of Obsolete and Vintage iPhones , demonstrating that software security support can continue even after normal hardware servicing has become restricted or ended. The oldest of these is the iPhone 6s from 2015, meaning Apple was still issuing software fixes for it more than ten years after launch. It is not yet clear whether Apple will release further iOS 15 and iOS 16 security updates now that iOS 27 has launched. Neither received an update alongside iOS 27 on September 14 or the September 28 security releases, but Apple has not announced that support has formally ended. Apple has occasionally supported even older software when necessary to keep essential services working. In January 2026, for example, it released an update for iOS 12 to extend certificates used by features including iMessage, FaceTime and device activation beyond January 2027. That meant even devices as old as the iPhone 5s received an update in 2026. Which iPhones support which iOS versions? Luckily, many iPhones are able to run supported versions of iOS.

The touchscreen MacBook Pro completes the circle started 10 years ago
Macworld October 27, 2016 was a day that shook the laptop market. Some of us are still recovering from what Apple did on that day, and how it lead to insanity amongst devoted Mac users. On that day, Apple introduced the first MacBook Pro with the Touch Bar . And the world was never the same. Okay, sarcasm aside, the Touch Bar, on the surface, seemed like a good idea at the time. That idea was to provide more dynamic input capabilities than the standard F keys across the top of the keyboard. In our early hands-on of the Touch Bar when it was revealed, Macworld editor Susie Ochs felt like it had potential, despite some lag. However, the Touch Bar suffered from what seemed like neglect from Apple. Its performance never really improved, and it never evolved beyond those early days. Five years ago, I wrote about how I really tried to like the Touch Bar , but I was ready to move on. I could never adjust my workflow to the accommodate the strip screen, and prefer having physical function keys that I can press without hunting them down with my eyes first. And now, 10 years after the Touch Bar introduction and almost exactly three years since its discontinuation , Apple will reportedly release a touchscreen MacBook Pro. The Touch Bar was seen by some as an Apple compromise for not having a touchscreenthere was even speculation that the Touch Bar was a precursor to a touchscreen Mac, but Apple shot down that theory . Now, as Apple prepares to launch what most people had given up on, the excitement of those early Touch Bar days can be felt once again. But I cant help but wonder if the touchscreen MacBook Pro will follow the same pattern as the Touch Bar: Impressive at first, but as time goes on, it doesnt seem necessary. According to rumors, Apple will treat touch as an option rather than a necessity, despite attaching a hefty premium to touchscreen devices. macOS Golden Gate is said to be retooled to work with fingers, but Apple will need to be active in touchscreen development to make it more successful than the Touch Bar. But for now, lets enjoy the anticipation and promise that Apples first touchscreen Mac brings. And pour one out for the Touch Bar that had to die so the touchscreen MacBook could live.
MacPaw has launched Eney , a proactive AI assistant for Mac and iPhone that the company says understands what is happening across a user's apps, files, and system, prepares the next step, and asks before it acts. On Mac, Eney offers copy-triggered suggestions, bot-free meeting transcription with notes and follow-ups, and ready-made workflows such as Morning Brief and Plan My Day. An Eney Wand (Option-W) acts on whatever is dragged over to it, and can translate text, convert prices, turn dates into calendar events, and extract text from images. The app also surfaces Mac care warnings for low disk space, memory pressure, and crashing apps, and connects to Apple Mail, Calendar, and Reminders out of the box, plus Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Slack, Notion, Jira, and Linear. MacPaw calls Eney proactive, never autonomous, since by default it asks before sending a message, changing an event, or moving a file. Eney is also the first product powered by MacPaw's own AI stack, including a memory layer called Mnemos that MacPaw says manages only Eney's own memory and never reads or changes user files. Eney for Mac is available to download from eney.ai and requires an Apple silicon Mac running macOS 15 or later. There's a free 14-day trial that includes 10,000 AI credits, after which an AI credits subscription is required. A Starter plan with 10,000 AI credits costs $14.99/month, a Boost plan with 25,000 credits costs $29.99/month, and a Power plan with 50,000 credits costs $49.99/month. Signing in with a Setapp account is supported, but MacPaw says a Setapp membership is not required on the Mac. An iPhone companion app is also available on the App Store although its listing describes the app as a companion for active Setapp members, so the eligibility terms on mobile are unclear.

On March 4, the company invited select media to hands-on experiences in multiple locations.

Calendars at the ready. Foundry FAQ 1. How far in advance does Apple announce an event? Apple usually announces its events around one to two weeks before they take place, although the timing varies. The October 13, 2026 Experience was announced just five days in advance. Apple also sometimes chooses to announce products via press release without holding an event. 2. How long do Apple Events usually last? Apple keynotes usually last between one and two hours and feature the CEO alongside various other Apple executives. WWDC and the September event tend to be longer keynotes; the spring and late-fall events can be slightly shorter. For example, the September 2024 keynote event was 1 hour 38 minutes. 3. What time do Apple events normally start in U.S., U.K. and other global time zones? Apples keynote events tend to start at 10 am PT or 1 pm ET. That translates to the following times in the countries where most of our readers live: U.S. : 10 am PDT, 11 am MDT, 12 pm CDT, 1 pm EDT Canada : as above, plus 2 pm ADT U.K. : 6 pm Europe : 7 pm CEST, 8 pm EEST India : 10:30 pm IST Australia : next day 1 am AWST, 2:30 am ACST, 3 am AEST New Zealand : next day 5 am NZST The timings are generally the same for all Apple Keynotes, but can be slightly different if Apple holds the event during the period of a couple of weeks when the clocks have changed in the U.S. but not elsewhere (in 2026 the clocks will change in the U.S. on November 1, while in the U.K. they change on October 25). Sometimes Apple holds events at different times, for example, in October 2023 the event was held in late afternoon in San Francisco, which meant it was midnight in the U.K. The event on October 13, 2026 started at 9 am in New York, 2 pm in the U.K. If Apple doesnt hold an event and instead just issues a press release, that usually happens around 8 am PT, 11 am ET and 4 pm U.K. time. 4. How often does Apple hold events? There can be as many as four Apple events in a year: Spring Event WWDC in June iPhone Event in September Late Fall Event in October This event calendar is by no means set in stone, though, with the spring and October events being less regular. Some years, Apple doesnt hold a spring event at all. In 2025 Apple only held two events, preferring instead to announce new products via press release. 5. Will there be a live stream at the next Apple Event? There was no public livestream for the October 13 Experience and one isnt expected for the October 28 event. Apple usually livestreams the iPhone announcement in September and the WWDC keynote in June. 6. Does Apple ever announce products without an event? Apple frequently announces products without a keynote event, often opting for press releases or multi-day announcement windows. In recent years, the company has increasingly reserved its large-scale media events for major flagship launches, such as the primary iPhone lineup in September, while using press releases for iterative updates or chip bumps that may not warrant a full hour-long presentation. 7. How to watch an Apple event Apple events are typically broadcast across several digital platforms, allowing viewers to tune in from almost any device. While the company previously restricted access to its own hardware or the Safari browser, these barriers have been removed in recent years. You can access live Apple presentations through the following official channels: YouTube : This is often considered the easiest way to watch. Apple streams its keynotes live on its official YouTube channel, which can be accessed via any web browser or the YouTube app on smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs. Apple.com : The company hosts a dedicated Events page on its official website. Apple TV App : The stream is available within the Apple TV app on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV hardware. Keynotes are usually listed in the apps lineup a day or two before the event begins. Apple Podcasts : Apple also showcases its events through the Podcasts app on Apple devices, where you can watch the video presentation. We usually run a Live Blog which will provide minute-by-minute text updates and analysis as products are announced. Following the end of the event, detailed breakdowns will also be available on the Macworld Podcast, which can be found on Spotify, Soundcloud, and Apple Podcasts. Will Apple have a second October event in 2026? Apple Apple has already unveiled new products on October 13atanAppleExperienceinNewYork, but a second October product showcase is set for October 28, this time in Los Angeles. Will Apple hold a spring event in 2027? John Ternus: Apples new CEO. Michael Simon / Foundry Apples spring events have become increasingly unpredictable. The company has not held a traditional spring event since May 2024, although it did invite members of the media, including Macworld, to a Special Apple Experience in 2026. Rather than a keynote presentation, the March 4, 2026 gathering was a hands-on showcase that followed three days of product announcements, including the MacBook Neo, iPhone 17e, and M5 MacBook Air. Will Apple take a similar approach to spring product launches in 2027? Its certainly possible. The format appeared to work well, allowing each product announcement to receive its own media coverage rather than competing for attention during a single event. Apple is expected to release three iPhone models in spring 2027 or it could be two new iPhones, with the Air and iPhone 18 merging. iPhone 18 (base model) iPhone 18e iPhone Air 2 Apple may also update the MacBook Air with an M6 processor in spring 2027. When is WWDC 2027? Foundry When is the WWDC keynote? In 2026 the WWDC keynote was on Monday June 8. In 2025 it started on Monday June 9. We expect WWDC will start on Monday 7 June in 2027. WWDC generally runs from the Monday to Friday in the second week of June. What Apple could launch at WWDC WWDC is Apples big developer event at which it reveals plans for the operating systems that run on Apple hardware. In June 2027 we expect Apple to unveil details of iOS 28, iPadOS 28, macOS 28, updates to watchOS, tvOS, HomePod software, and an update to Apples visionOS. Apple sometimes announces new hardware at WWDC, usually the high-end models targeted at power users, so we could see new Macs. Following the keynote on Monday, developer events and sessions will run throughout the week. You can read more about WWDC date, times and everything you need to know in a separate article. What did Apple launch at past events? So far in 2026 Apple has held an experience, which rather than being an event in the traditional sense, was a chance for journalists to get a look at products Apple had launched in the days prior, including MacBook Neo and iPhone 17e. The company also hosted the WWDC keynote on June 8, at which it revealed its plans for Apple Intelligence and Siri in iOS 27, macOS 27 and the other operating systems. Apple held its iPhone launch event on September 9 at which the iPhone 18 Pro and Max, iPhone Duo, Apple Watch Series 12, Apple Watch Ultra 4 and AirPods 5 launched. Plus Apple has unveiled new Home focused products (HomeView, HomePod mini 2 and Apple TV 4K) at a Welcome Home experience on October 13. In 2025 Apple only held two events. The first was its Worldwide Developers Conference ( WWDC ) on June 9, at which it introduced the new features coming in the next version of its operating systems, and the second was the huge September 9 Apple Event where it launched new Apple Watches , new AirPods Pro and the new iPhones for 2025 . Apple doesnt have to hold an event to launch new products though. Prior to WWDC, Apple launched a new iPhone 16e via press release on February 19, a new iPad and iPad Air via press release on March 4, and a new MacBook Air and Mac Studio on March 5. Apple then went on to launch a new M5 MacBook Pro and M5 iPad Pro in October. No event was held to mark these launches. In 2024 , Apple held three events: one on Tuesday, May 7, at which it launched new iPads; a keynote to kick off WWDC on June 10; and an event on September 9 at which Apple unveiled the new iPhone 16 , Apple Watch Series 10 and the AirPods 4 . In October 2024 there was no event, but Apple did announce new products (iMac, Mac mini and MacBook Pro) via press release. In 2023 there were three events: WWDC in June, an iPhone event in September, and Apples second fall event on October 30 (or after midnight on October 31 if you werent in the U.S.). In 2022 Apple held three events: a spring event on March 8, WWDC on June 6, and the iPhone 14 launch on September 7. In other years Apple has held four events though.

Touchscreen MacBook Pro to Debut Today With These 5 Features
Some reports have suggested the new high-end MacBook Pro models that Apple is expected to announce today might not be called MacBook Pros at all. They could in fact be something altogether new and more exciting MacBook Ultra , perhaps marketed as the company's top-tier laptop offering. The machines are expected to sit above the current M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pros, rather than replace them, suggesting the latter will remain in Apple's lineup. One thing to state up front is that Apple is expected to stick with the existing M5 Pro and M5 Max chips for its touchscreen MacBook models. Apple reportedly plans to skip what would have been the M6 Pro and M6 Max for more powerful M7 Pro and M7 Max chips. Apple announced the new entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M6 chip yesterday, ahead of pre-orders opening today, but the first MacBook Ultra models will use M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, after which second-generation models will come with M7 Pro and Max chips in late 2027. Apple has already unveiled most of a second set of new products this week, as MacRumors ' sources earlier indicated: the OLED iPad mini arrived on Monday, and the M6 iMac and M6 14-inch MacBook Pro followed yesterday. The new touchscreen models are expected to debut today at Apple's Pro and tell event in Los Angeles and become available for pre-order at 10:10 a.m. Pacific Time, with Bloomberg reporting that availability could begin as early as November 6. Recent reports have referred to the machines simply as new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, so the final name remains uncertain. Below, we've listed the features and changes we are expecting for the new high-end MacBook Pro models. OLED Display Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman and analyst Ming-Chi Kuo say Apple is readying OLED technology for these models, and industry reports corroborate their claims. Samsung Display is said to be making the panels exclusively , and the supplier has invested heavily in an 8.6-generation OLED production line in South Korea. The line reached a key milestone for mass production in May. OLED presents an overall upgrade over the current mini-LED display technology, bringing deeper colors and a higher contrast ratio with true blacks. In an OLED display, individual pixels turn off instead of dimming when not activated, so there's less light leakage and better power efficiency. OLED displays also tend to have better HDR output than mini-LED, but they don't always match mini-LED brightness levels. Touchscreen The new MacBook Pro is expected to become the first Mac to support touch input directly on the display. It's a notable shift from Apple's longstanding position against bringing touchscreen functionality to the Mac. Apple previously experimented with touch controls through the OLED Touch Bar on earlier MacBook Pro models, but the feature was ultimately discontinued following a lukewarm reception. Rather than positioning the MacBook Pro as a touch-centric device like the iPad, Apple is reportedly planning to let users move seamlessly between touch and traditional trackpad or mouse input across the system. There are features in macOS Golden Gate that hint at a future touchscreen Mac. Apple added direct touch input to Sidecar so users can tap and interact with macOS elements when using the iPad as a Mac display. macOS Golden Gate also supports an iPhone-style pull-to-refresh option, and it can be used across apps like Safari, Mail, News, Podcasts, and Calendar. A pull-to-refresh option makes the most sense on a touch display. Reinforced Hinge Apple has reportedly developed a reinforced hinge and screen hardware to prevent the display from bouncing back or moving when touched. Apple is apparently aware of the same issue that plagues existing touch PCs. Lighter Design Gurman has reported that Apple is working to make the OLED MacBook Pro thinner , as part of the company's plan to create he thinnest and lightest products in their categories across the whole tech industry. (Think the latest iPad Pro and iPad Air two of the thinnest devices the company has ever made.) Indeed, the reporter said there's a good chance that the next MacBook Pro model will represent a rue overhaul for the laptop, thanks to the combination of the OLED display and thinner design. In October 2025, Gurman reported that the OLED MacBook Pro models would have hinner and lighter frames. Then again in November 2025 , he said the touchscreen models would have a thinner chassis. However, Gurman has walked back somewhat on his previous reporting that Apple's upcoming touchscreen OLED MacBook Pro will be thinner than current models. I don't think it'll be significantly thinner in the end, he said in early October 2026. In a last-minute detail, Gurman reports that Apple has also reworked the cooling system to improve airflow through the hinge while helping to reduce the laptop's weight. Dynamic Island The MacBook Ultra could ditch the current notch used in the MacBook Pro models for a display cutout potentially similar to the iPhone's Dynamic Island, according to Bloomberg . Such a move would mirror Apple's iPhone evolution, since the iPhone's notch became the current Dynamic Island starting with the iPhone 14 Pro models in 2022. As with the iPhone, the Mac Dynamic Island will be interactive and it will contextually expand based on the app or Mac feature in use. The change should address long-standing user complaints about the notch, which physically ingresses into the macOS menu bar. Price Changes There is no doubt that Apple will unveil the new MacBook Pro models as ultra-premium products carrying price tags that are higher than the current MacBook Pro 14-inch and 16-inch models. Apple increased the prices of all its Macs in June 2026 MacBook Pro pricing went up $300 so the MacBook Ultra will likely be even more expensive than expected. For what it's worth, the higher-end 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 Pro chip starts at $2,499 after the price increase, while the 16-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro starts at $2,999. More specifically, Bloomberg reported this week that Apple has discussed charging $2,899 for the new 14-inch model with an M5 Pro chip, which would mean a starting price of at least $3,399 for the 16-inch model.

Macworld On Wednesday at 1 pm ET, Apple is expected to cap off its Pro and Tell week of announcements with the launch of its first truly new laptop in years and a milestone for the Mac: the first-ever touchscreen MacBook Pro with a new design, a new display, and a new price tag. As with the past few Apple announcements, Bloombergs Mark Gurman has spilled some final details about the new device, most notably the price. According to his sources, Apple has discussed charging as much as $2,899 for the new 14-inch model with an M5 Pro chip, essentially a $400 premium over current M5 Pro model, which comes with 24GB and 1TB. Apple offers two varieties of the M5 Pro chip, with an 18-core variant commanding a $200 premium. Rumors suggest the options for the new laptops will be the same as the current crop but wont replace them. Rather, theyll exist as premium options alongside the existing models. Its not clear whether theyll offer the same RAM and storage tiers, however. Gurman has previously reported that the touchscreen MacBook Pro will offer several upgrades over the current model, including: An OLED display with thinner bezels; A new design thats significantly lighter than the current crop; A new hinge that doesnt move when tapped; and A new cooling system that improves airflow through the hinge. The new laptops will also feature a new version of macOS Golden Gate that includes dial-like menus that appear around a users finger. However, Gurman says Apple will market the touchscreen as an option rather than a replacement for the trackpad. In a follow-up post on X , Gurman wrote that Mac fans should Get excited for the new laptop. And believe me, we are.

Apple Shares tvOS 27.2 Release Notes With List of New Features
tvOS 27.2 was released on Monday for the Apple TV 4K (2nd generation) and newer, but the Apple TV does not show release notes for software updates in the Settings app. Instead, Apple periodically updates a support document outlining what is new in tvOS updates, and the release notes for tvOS 27.2 are now available. Note that Apple never released a tvOS 27.1 version, so tvOS 27.2 is the first Apple TV software update since tvOS 27 was released in September. Apple says tvOS 27.2 includes a few FaceTime enhancements, plus the ability to shuffle through different screen saver categories. In addition, the Find My app now supports the Siri Remote (2nd generation) and later , but Precision Finding is limited to the Siri Remote (4th generation). The update also contains bug fixes and security patches . Here are Apple's full tvOS 27.2 release notes: This update brings new ways to stay connected with FaceTime, personalize your screen saver, and locate your Siri Remote with Find My, along with bug fixes and security updates for your Apple TV 4K. FaceTime FaceTime links make it easier to join calls directly from your Apple TV. Sign language interpreter and captioning support lets you add third-party services to your calls. Screen Savers Photo personalization lets you use your iPhone to choose specific photos for your screen saver without sharing your full library with Apple TV. Shuffle option lets you enjoy different screen saver categories as your Apple TV cycles through them. Find My Find My support lets you locate your Siri Remote (2nd generation) or later using your iPhone. Apple said Siri AI will be available on the Apple TV 4K (2nd generation) and newer , but this functionality is not yet enabled on these models on tvOS 27.2. The new Apple TV 4K (4th generation) launches on Friday, November 13, and Siri AI is one of its headline new features, so perhaps the feature will come to older models closer to then.

OLED Touchscreen MacBook Pro Could Start at
Apple's 14-inch OLED MacBook Pro with an M5 Pro chip could be $400 more expensive than the current model, reports Bloomberg . Apple has discussed charging $2,899 for the upcoming M5 Pro model. The current M5 Pro MacBook Pro starts at $2,499. The 16-inch OLED MacBook Pro could start at $3,399 if it gets the same $400 price increase, though Bloomberg suggests the larger version might be even more expensive. Apple is adding OLED touchscreens to the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro, but they will use the same M5 Pro and M5 Max chips as the current models. Other features include a Dynamic Island , a redesigned hinge that keeps the display steady when touched, thinner bezels, and a slimmer and lighter body. Apple updated the cooling system to cut weight and improve airflow through the hinge. Apple is expected to continue selling the existing mini-LED MacBook Pro models alongside the more expensive OLED models, so customers who don't want to pay for touch will have a more affordable option. The OLED MacBook Pro models will be unveiled tomorrow morning, with pre-orders set to begin at 10:10 a.m. Pacific Time. Apple also plans to accept pre-orders for the OLED iPad mini , the M6 iMac , and the entry-level M6 MacBook Pro.

M6 iMac Sticks With Its Five-Year-Old Color Lineup
The new M6 iMac models come in the same color options as the 2024 model, despite reports suggesting we could see new shades. You can buy the M6 iMac in green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, blue, and silver. Those are the seven colors that Apple used for the original 2021 iMac design. Apple tweaked the colors in 2024 to make the back of the iMac a more vibrant shade in those seven colors, but no further changes were made this year. Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman said back in August that some new color options would be available for the M6 iMac models, but unfortunately, we're stuck with the colors we've had for years. The new iMac has the M6 chip that was previously added to the Mac mini . It also includes a faster SSD and an N1 networking chip with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6. Pricing starts at $1,499. iMacs still ship with color-matched accessories and cables, so color choice matters more than with most Mac purchases. Pre-orders for the M6 iMac start on October 28 at 10:10 a.m. Pacific Time, and it launches on Friday, November 6.

Buying a new MacBook Pro? This Anker 240W Thunderbolt 5 cable is a must-have for just $38

However, Apple doesnt provide you with a cable, so youll need to buy one separately. You could pay Apple $69 for one, or you can grab a 3.3ft cable for $8 , down from its $46 MSRP. This Anker cable is as impressive as Thunderbolt 5 is. With 80Gbps data transfers, Anker says you can move a 5GB file in just 1 second. Thats a massive amount of data that moves before you can blink. Its a serious charging cable, too, supporting up to 240W. This short cable can push your 16-inch MacBook Pro from 0 to 50 percent in less than half an hour. When it comes to multitasking, this cable also supports 8K displays at 60Hz, while bandwidth can reach up to 120Gbps, keeping everything smooth and sharp. Of course, youll only get to enjoy this cables full potential if your laptop, dock, or drive also supports Thunderbolt 5, but while you wait to buy one you can still use it on any Thunderbolt 4 or USB-C device, just at alower speeds. So, go ahead and future-proof your next MacBook accessories with this $38 Anker Thunderbolt 5 cable.
ChatGPT Can Now Access Your iCloud Mail and Calendar
OpenAI today said it added iCloud Mail and Calendar plugins to ChatGPT. With the iCloud Calendar integration, ChatGPT can read, schedule, and update events that show up on your iPhone's Calendar app or any third-party app that uses iCloud Calendar. The Mail integration lets ChatGPT search and read iCloud Mail, manage messages and drafts, send email, and look up iCloud contacts. iCloud Mail uses an Apple-provided email address that ends in @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com. ChatGPT can only see your iCloud Mail, not other accounts that are in the iOS Mail app, like Gmail or Outlook. You will need to create an app-specific password for both iCloud Mail and iCloud Calendar. iCloud plugins give ChatGPT some of the same access that Siri AI has to personal data, expanding what the chatbot can do. iCloud access can also be used for Dots, the proactive AI agent that OpenAI launched last month. The iCloud plugins are available on all plans across the web, desktop, and iOS.

Apple Creator Studio gets a major AI boost with latest update
Macworld On Tuesday, Apple announced new features in the apps for Apple Creator Studio , its collection of professional creative apps for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. The updates will be available in November for free to current Creator Studio subscribers. Each of the 10 apps that make up Creator Studio received a major update. Video software updates Apple acquired plug-in developer MotionVFX earlier this year; the company specialized in video editing and graphics tools subscriptions that cost for $29 per month. The MotionVFX tools for color grading, rotoscoping, and tracking, as well as graphics, themed templates, titles, and transitions will be incorporated into Final Cut Pro in the update for no extra charge. Final Cut Pro now has cross-app functionality with Pixelmator Pro, so editors can open images directly from the timeline and save changes back to the project without needing to reimport the image. Other enhancements include more keyframe easing options, the ability to disconnect clips from the primary storyline to place them anywhere on the timeline, and 23 new transcription languages. Apple Motion also benefits from the MotionVFX acquisition; it incorporates new options for 3D camera tracking, cinematic color grading, and one-click selection for visual effects. Motion also supports a new Displacement filter, image generation and edits from text descriptions, cross-app functionality with Pixelmator Pro, and fine-tuned keyframe easing. Compressor supports the ability to encode Cinematic mode video recorded on iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo . Pixelmator Pro Pixelmator Pro gets the power of AI with its new Generate Fill option that performs edits based on a users description. It takes into account the surrounding area to match lighting, perspective, and texture to create a seamless blend. Sharpness is maintained with Pixelmator Pros built-in Super Resolution technology. Logic Pro Apple worked with OpenAI for a new intelligent assistant in Logic Pro for Mac. The assistant can be used for navigating workflow productions, refining an active project, starting a new song, or setting up a vocal track. The Browser has been redesigned to make it easier to find effect patches, instruments, loops, and more. Logic Pro can analyze and classify sounds to make them easier to find. The enhanced Stem Splitter now has the ability to isolate, replace, or rebalance drum parts without needing the original multitracks. A new Sergio George Producer Pack features authentic Latin jazz and salsa loops, including a full salsa percussion section, brass ensemble, and basses. Apple Logic Pro also has a Voice Memo Studio Sound feature that can reduce noise in iPhone recordings. And Logic Pro on both the Mac and iPad has Liquid Glass Ui enhancements. Freeform, Keynote, Numbers, Pages Apples productivity apps are enhanced by a new Intelligent Assistant that understands document context and can be used to develop content. For example, the assistant in Keynote can be used to design slides. In Pages , the assistant can help with fine-tuning whats been written. In Numbers , the assistant can calculate, visualize, and organize data, recommend chart types, and build custom tables. Apple accidentally revealed these features last week when it prematirely posted the update early. The Content Hub for these apps now includes Apple-curated stock video footage, and subscribers get new templates and themes. Keynote introduces support for Keynote Interchange Format (.keyx), an open JSON-based bundle file format. Freeform adds text styles, and in December, will have the ability to edit images directly in Pixelmator Pro and generate editable shapes from text descriptions. Apple Creator Studio is available via subscription for $12.99/12.99 per month or $129/129 per year. Education pricing is available. Up to six family members can share all of the apps and content included in Apple Creator Studio with Family Sharing. One-time-purchase versions of Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Pixelmator Pro, Motion, Compressor, and MainStage are available on the Mac App Store. Freeform, Keynote, Numbers, and Pages are free.
