Apple Releases Safari Technology Preview 256 With Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements
Apple today released a new update for Safari Technology Preview, the experimental browser that was first introduced in March 2016. Apple designed ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ to allow users to test features that are planned for future release versions of the Safari browser. ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ 256 includes fixes and updates for Accessibility, Animations, CSS, Editing, Forms, HTML, JavaScript, Media, Networking, Rendering, SVG, Security, Web API, Web Extensions, Web Inspector, WebGL, and WebRTC. The current ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ release is compatible with machines running macOS Tahoe and macOS Golden Gate, the newest version of macOS. The ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ update is available through the Software Update mechanism in System Preferences or System Settings to anyone who has downloaded the browser from Apple's website. Complete release notes for the update are available on the Safari Technology Preview website. Apple's aim with ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ is to gather feedback from developers and users on its browser development process. ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ can run side-by-side with the existing Safari browser and while it is designed for developers, it does not require a developer account to download and use.Tag: Safari Technology PreviewThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

'Super Mario Odyssey' Can Now Run on Apple TV Thanks to AI
A Reddit user was able to get Nintendo's "Animal Crossing: New Horizons" and "Super Mario Odyssey" to run natively on the Apple TV 4K, continuing a string of ports made possible with the use of AI (via Engadget). TVPort, Reddit user FloatingFalafel's open-source project, is a fork of the nxnative toolkit used to recompile Switch and Switch 2 games for the Apple TV using a Mac. It was built using Claude Opus 5.5. "Super Mario Odyssey" runs at 60fps according to FloatingFalafel, and "Animal Crossing" runs at 30fps. Other games haven't been tested, but the creator says people are welcome to use the open-source software to get other games to run. Game files are not included, and users will need to supply files from their own game cartridges, which requires a modified Nintendo Switch. [Release] TVPort - Port switch games to run natively on AppleTV (4k 3rd gen) by u/FloatingFalafel in decomps More intensive games like "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom" may not be able to run on the third-generation ‌Apple TV‌ 4K because of thermal throttling. The fourth-generation ‌Apple TV‌ 4K that launches November 13 may be able to run titles the third-generation model can't. Nintendo often takes issue with unofficial ways to play its games, so TVPort may not survive long. In 2024, Nintendo sued the Yuzu emulator team, and the lawsuit led to a $2.4 million settlement and the sunsetting of the emulator.Related Roundup: Apple TVBuyer's Guide: Apple TV (Buy Now)Related Forum: Apple TV and Home TheaterThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

How 'Resident Evil' Director Zach Cregger Uses His iPhone to Make Movies
Apple marketing chief Greg Joswiak today shared an Apple TV video that offers a look at how "Resident Evil" director Zach Cregger uses an iPhone during filmmaking. Cregger said he uses his iPhone and the Cadrage app to plan out filming sequences ahead of time. He decides what shots to take, what lenses to use for each shot, and what's in each frame. He then prints out the images so the crew knows exactly what to do. According to Cregger, he used this process for "Weapons" and "Barbarian," two movies that he wrote and directed. He said every scene in those films was planned with photos in advance. I can't match Zach Cregger's love of being afraid, but I can match his love of iPhone in the filmmaking process.— Greg Joswiak (@gregjoz) November 4, 2026 "Everybody can make a movie with what's in your pocket," he said. "It's all right there." "Resident Evil" is now available to rent or buy, including in the ‌Apple TV‌ app.Tag: Apple TVThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

In the latest special of the acclaimed "Snoopy Presents" banner, the Peanuts kids are on their best behavior — but Snoopy has landed on Santa's naughty list. With just 12 days until Christmas, he sets out to prove he's not such a bad beagle after all, discovering along the way that the season is about more than gifts. The special has original music from John Legend, Kamasi Washington featuring Leon Bridges, and Laufey. Apple TV has exclusive rights to Peanuts content, including the classic library and original shows and specials. Snoopy content available on ‌Apple TV‌ includes "Snoopy in Space," "The Snoopy Show," "It's the Small Things, Charlie Brown," "Lucy's School," and more.

Apple is Putting Employees on an AI Budget
Apple is curtailing employee AI use to cut costs, reports Bloomberg. In October, Apple limited some engineers to $200 per day for AI spending, down from $300. More cuts could be coming, with daily allowances for some engineers dropping to $100. Many groups outside engineering already have a $100 daily limit, but some teams could have their spending capped at $25. Apple is asking some teams to use less expensive models or switch to on-device AI. Employees who need a bigger budget will be able to ask executives for an increase. Engineers at Apple have the largest budgets because using AI for coding can consume a large number of tokens. Apple lets employees use Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and other models. Some Apple employees told Bloomberg that few were using their full $300 daily limit, so the savings may be small. Apple has also hired outside productivity consultants for some divisions. Combined with the AI cost cuts, the reviews have fueled worries about possible restructuring. Apple CEO John Ternus took over on September 1, and he reportedly wants to reduce corporate hierarchy and bloat to accomplish more with fewer people.This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Will Check Public iCloud Links for Harmful Content Starting in iOS 27.3
Apple says it will start checking public iCloud links for harmful content in iOS 27.3, iPadOS 27.3, macOS 27.3, and visionOS 27.3. Images in iCloud Photos and files in iCloud Drive shared using the "Anyone with the link" option will be "made accessible to Apple" for a content check. Apple doesn't define harmful content, but it could mean malware, malicious files, and/or child sexual abuse material (CSAM) given Apple's mention of law enforcement involvement. If you try to upload harmful content, Apple reserves the right to move, refuse, modify, remove, or delete the content at any time. Apple may also take action against your Apple Account, including blocking or disabling your Apple Account, blocking the ability to create a new Apple Account with the associated email address or phone number, or if necessary, involving law enforcement. iCloud files can be shared with "Send a Copy," which sends a file directly, or "Share a Link," which lets someone download it. Link sharing options are "People you choose" or "Anyone with the link," and it's only the latter option that will be evaluated by Apple. Apple does not say whether links created before the 27.3 updates will be checked. Apple says content made available to anyone is no longer end-to-end encrypted, even when Advanced Data Protection is on. iOS 27.3, iPadOS 27.3, macOS 27.3, and visionOS 27.3 are currently available to developers for beta testing, and the software will see a public release in December.Related Roundups: iOS 27, iPadOS 27Tag: iCloudRelated Forums: iOS 27, Apple Music, Apple Pay/Card, iCloud, Fitness+This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

macOS 27.3 Brings Live Activities to Macs Without Dynamic Island
The new MacBook Pro models with touch-enabled OLED displays feature the Dynamic Island instead of a notch, and it includes support for Live Activities. Fortunately, other Apple silicon Macs will not entirely miss out, as the macOS 27.3 update enables Live Activities for apps like Apple Music, Clock, and Voice Memos in the macOS menu bar. The first macOS 27.3 developer beta released this week enables Live Activities support in the menu bar for several of Apple's built-in apps, along with things like screen recording. The update is expected to be released in December. Third-party Mac apps can also implement Live Activities support now. "With Live Activities, users can now get timely updates at a glance, and can accept an AirDrop request or pause a song with a tap of their finger," explained Apple, in its press release for the MacBook Pro models with OLED displays. macOS 26 and later already supported Live Activities mirrored from an iPhone.Related Roundup: macOS Golden GateTags: Dynamic Island, Live ActivitiesRelated Forum: macOS Golden GateThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Is It Worth Buying a Titanium Apple Watch?
The Apple Watch Series 12's titanium option offers a premium metallic finish and sapphire crystal, sitting between the more affordable aluminum model and the higher-priced ceramic version. Is it worth choosing? The titanium Apple Watch starts at $699, compared to $399 for aluminum. Available in Natural and Radiant Gold with a polished finish, it offers a more traditional watch aesthetic than the matte aluminum models. There are designer Apple Watch Hermès options too. One of the main practical benefits is its sapphire front crystal, which is highly resistant to scratches. The aluminum Series 12 instead features Ceramic Shield 2, replacing the Ion-X glass used on previous generations. Titanium is heavier than aluminum, so buyers who prioritize a lightweight watch for workouts and sleep tracking may prefer the cheaper option. The titanium models also include cellular connectivity as standard, while aluminum models offer a choice of GPS or GPS and Cellular. The $300 difference between their starting prices therefore covers more than the case material and front crystal; if you already intend to buy a cellular Apple Watch, the additional cost of choosing titanium is smaller. Titanium pairs particularly well with premium bands such as Apple's Link Bracelet or Milanese Loop. Its polished finish gives it a dressier appearance, although it can still be paired with rubber or woven bands for workouts and everyday use. For buyers who wear their Apple Watch throughout the day, including in formal settings, this versatility may be the best reason to pay more. Internally, the titanium Apple Watch Series 12 offers the same chip, sensors, display technology, and battery life as the aluminum and ceramic versions. Paying more for titanium does not unlock additional features. Ceramic's return means titanium is no longer the only premium alternative to aluminum. The Series 12's Pearl White and Night Blue ceramic cases also feature sapphire front crystal, so scratch resistance alone is not a reason to choose titanium over ceramic. Titanium is lighter than ceramic and offers a metallic appearance that may be easier to match with metal bracelets, while ceramic provides a more striking look, particularly in Pearl White. Most customers will struggle to justify the extra cost of titanium. It is worth considering if you particularly want its polished metallic finish and sapphire crystal, especially if you were already planning to buy a cellular model. If you mainly want the polished finish and sapphire crystal, a discounted titanium Series 10 or Series 11 may also be worth considering. The titanium Series 12 also starts at just $100 less than the Apple Watch Ultra 4. For another $100, the Ultra offers longer battery life and a more rugged design. The titanium Series 12 makes more sense if you want a premium Apple Watch with slimmer proportions and a more traditional appearance. Do you think the titanium Apple Watch models are worth buying?

macOS 27.3 Includes an Important Security Fix
The first macOS 27.3 developer beta includes an important security fix that prevents command-line tools from accepting eMudhra's compromised web certificates. Specifically, the update removes the affected certificates from the /etc/ssl/cert.pem file. macOS 27.3 is not expected to be released to the public until December, but a macOS 27.2.1 update will likely arrive sooner with the same security fix. If you do not wish to update your Mac at this time, you can opt to manually remove the affected certificates from your computer's /etc/ssl/cert.pem file by following the instructions outlined in Apple's support document related to this matter. If you do not use command-line tools via Terminal or similar, you are already fully protected. Apple said it has been blocking eMudhra's compromised TLS web certificates since October 19 in Safari, Mail, and other apps that use Apple's networking and security frameworks, across all of its software platforms. The certificates are blocked automatically with no software update required, so most users do not need to take any action. This all comes after a security researcher last month discovered that private cryptographic keys associated with eight of Indian company eMudhra's intermediate certificate authority (CA) certificates were weak. The compromised keys could have allowed attackers to impersonate legitimate websites, potentially putting users' sensitive information at risk. So far, no evidence has surfaced that indicates the keys were exploited maliciously.Related Roundup: macOS Golden GateTag: macOS SecurityRelated Forum: macOS Golden GateThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Does HomePod Mini 2 Have Improved Sound? Here's What Reviews Say
Apple's press release for the HomePod mini 2 last month touted "rich sound" and "advanced computational audio," but it did not explicitly mention if the second-generation model has better sound compared to the original. A few early reviews of the speaker, however, said that audio quality has in fact improved. Apple's tech specs pages for both the HomePod mini 2 and the original HomePod mini mention a "full-range driver" and "dual passive radiators for deep bass and crisp high frequencies," so the core speaker hardware is seemingly unchanged. However, the HomePod mini 2 is equipped with a much newer S10 chip that could use advanced algorithms to optimize sound in an improved manner compared to the S5 chip in the original model. CNET's Tyler Lacoma said the HomePod mini 2 has "much better sound" than the original model. From his article:Playing the same audio at the same volume on each speaker, I repeatedly switched between them while streaming Apple Lossless audio via Apple Music. The results were always the same: The new Mini 2 had significantly greater range and louder, clearer audio than the first HomePod Mini. It wasn't just noticeable: It was a big enough difference to completely change my mind about a speaker that didn't seem worth it on paper. If you want sound that can actually fill a room without losing quality, the HomePod Mini 2 is by far the preferable pick.Cult of Mac's Ed Hardy said likewise:To my ears, the second-gen version sounds noticeably better. Especially the stronger bass. I did a side-by-side comparison with HomePod mini 2 and my original model, and the new model definitely came out ahead.Another benefit of the S10 chip that Apple did not emphasize: Siri is apparently much faster for basic requests such as playing a song and smart home commands, according to The Verge's Jennifer Pattison Tuohy. However, this is based on what Apple now calls Siri Classic, as the more intelligent and personalized Siri AI will not be available on the HomePod mini 2 until a future software update, according to Apple. From her article:The Mini 2 is so much faster than the first-gen Mini, playing music in a few seconds and responding to smart home commands just as quickly. If you're fed up with standing over your HomePod waiting for it to finally do what you asked, then that alone is worth the upgrade.The new HomePod mini was released last week, with U.S. pricing set at $149.Related Roundup: HomePod mini 2Buyer's Guide: HomePod Mini (Buy Now)Related Forum: HomePod, HomeView, CarPlay – Home & Auto TechThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple May Phase Out Non-Touch High-End MacBook Pros
Apple will likely consolidate its high-end MacBook Pro lineup around touchscreen models, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Writing in his latest "Power On" newsletter, Gurman questioned whether Apple would keep updating its high-end ‌MacBook Pro‌ models without touchscreens. The company has retained the mini-LED M5 Pro and M5 Max models alongside the new touchscreen versions, which cost $400 more. Gurman cited the resources required to support parallel product lines across development, production, and promotion. Given the price difference, he expects the two offerings to converge, although he did not specify when Apple might stop developing the non-touch models. Gurman added that Apple plans to introduce another generation of touchscreen MacBook Pros in 2027. These machines will use M7 Pro and M7 Max processors with additional hardware capabilities for AI. He previously said the chip upgrade would arrive toward the end of 2027. The redesign will also reach the entry-level 14-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌, according to Gurman. Apple plans to offer an M7 version with reduced weight, a thinner enclosure, and narrower borders around the display, similar to the new high-end models. Gurman first reported plans for the redesigned base model in July, when he outlined a potential launch in the first half of 2027. Apple unveiled its first touchscreen MacBook Pros last week, retaining the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips introduced in March. The redesign pairs OLED displays and Dynamic Island with a lighter, slightly thinner enclosure and a revised cooling system that channels warm air away from the screen.

Apple's Insider Trading Policy Now Covers Prediction Markets
Apple has added an explicit ban on using confidential information to bet on prediction markets to its insider trading policy, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The policy was filed on Tuesday as an exhibit to Apple's annual report on Form 10-K, which is also available on Apple's Investor Relations website. The new version is marked "Updated October 2026," while an earlier version that Apple filed in 2024 doesn't mention prediction markets at all. If you haven't heard of them, prediction markets are basically platforms where people buy and sell contracts that pay out depending on whether a future event happens. The new clause in Apple's policy is titled "No Trading in Prediction Markets Based on Confidential Information," and it warns employees not to "participate in 'prediction markets' or similar platforms to wager, bet, trade, buy or sell contracts based on the outcome of future events," when doing so involves confidential information obtained through their work at Apple. It's not a blanket ban, however. The restriction applies only when confidential information is used, but that also includes information about other companies, such as Apple's suppliers, manufacturers, vendors, customers and carrier partners. Apple also says employees must not share confidential information to others who may go on to use it on such markets. Apple's insider trading policy applies to directors, officers, employees, independent contractors and consultants, as well as to family members who live with them or are financially dependent on them.

iPhone 18e Rumored to Focus on Chip Upgrade With Few Major Changes
Apple's upcoming iPhone 18e will primarily focus on a chip upgrade, with few major new features expected, according to the leaker known as "Fixed Focus Digital." In a new post on Weibo, the leaker said that a new chip is the only upgrade they can currently confirm for the device. They also claimed that the standard iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e will share some manufacturing processes, while tempering expectations for substantial changes. Fixed Focus Digital drew attention to their correct prediction that the iPhone 17e would retain a notch, despite other sources insisting it would gain the Dynamic Island. The reference could hint that the iPhone 18e will also miss out on the feature, although the leaker did not explicitly say this. The claim follows a recent report from fellow Weibo leaker "Digital Chat Station," who said the iPhone 18e will feature an A20 chip, a 6.12-inch OLED display with a 60Hz refresh rate, and a single 48-megapixel rear camera. That report also suggested a front-facing camera upgrade was possible. The A20 is expected to be similar to the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo's A20 Pro chip, but feature one fewer GPU core just like its predecessor. The iPhone 18e is expected to launch alongside the standard ‌iPhone 18‌ and the iPhone Air 2 in spring 2027.Related Roundup: iPhone 17eTag: Fixed Focus DigitalBuyer's Guide: iPhone 17e (Neutral)This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Google Maps Updated to Fully Support iPhone Duo Displays
Google Maps has been updated with improved support for the iPhone Duo's displays, so that the app now fills the foldable iPhone's inner and outer screens rather than leaving unused space along the edge. The change comes with version 26.44.4, which is available on the App Store. Google doesn't mention Duo-specific changes in its release notes, but the updated support is plainly visible. The previous version, 26.43.1, was only partially adapted to the device, and there was still a vertical black border along the right side of both the inner and outer screens, where the circular status bar lives. Now the map extends across the inner screen, with the search field in the upper-left corner, the Explore, You, and Contribute tabs in a panel on the left, and map controls on the right. Google Maps follows a growing number of apps adapting to Apple's foldable iPhone.

China Earthquake Alerts iOS 27.3 appears to add support for safety alerts. Apple has been working with the China Earthquake Networks Center to add early warning earthquake alerts for users in China. Selfie Sing Apple Music has a new "Selfie Sing" option that lets users capture a video of themselves singing karaoke. The feature can be found by searching for the ‌Apple Music‌ Sing playlist in ‌Apple Music‌, selecting a song, and then tapping on the camera icon to start a recording. Karaoke videos can be adjusted wit voice modification options and shared with friends or on social media. Freeform In the Freeform app, there are new tools for generating custom shapes and adding images. Apple says users can create custom, editable shapes with text descriptions. It's a feature limited to Apple Creator Studio subscribers. There are also new styles for formatting text, and an option to choose a color for the background of a board.

Apple Music's New Selfie Sing Feature Lets You Record Karaoke Videos
iOS 27.3 adds a new "Selfie Sing" feature in Apple Music that lets users record themselves while singing a song. There's a dedicated Selfie Sing playlist and a selfie camera view that shows lyrics on the screen while also recording a video. Apple has a description of the feature: There are some songs everyone knows by heart, the ones that come on and suddenly the whole room's singing along. This playlist is loaded with them, each one ready to become your next Selfie Sing. Pick your favorite, record a Selfie Sing, add mic effects to your voice, then save or share your video selfie with anyone you like. No pitch-perfect anything required–just you, the song, and the moment. Oh, and make sure you've updated to the latest iOS before getting started. After selecting a song, you can tap on the camera icon to start a Selfie Sing. Tapping the red button begins a recording, and the lyrics start to scroll by. When a song is finished, there are options to change the volume of your voice or add an effect. Options include Megaphone, Echo, Concert Hall, and Studio. Videos can then be saved to the Photos library or shared. Here is your first look at Selfie Sing, new in iOS 27.3, inside of Apple Music Record a video selfie, adjusting vocals to make it yours, and share your performance with friends (Animoji is not available for this feature, I used it so I don't have to post a video of me singing) https://t.co/fLQ3B5DV4N— Aaron (@aaronp613) November 4, 2026 Songs on the Selfie Sing playlist include "Respect" by Aretha Franklin, "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper, "Like a Virgin" by Madonna, "Wonderwall" by Oasis, "Hungry Like the Wolf" by Duran Duran, and "Baby One More Time" by Britney Spears. There isn't an option to take a Selfie Sing recording on every ‌Apple Music‌ song, but that could be something coming in the future. Selfie Sing appears to be an extension of the ‌Apple Music‌ Sing karaoke feature that came out in iOS 16.2. The Selfie Sing playlist shows up on iPhones running iOS 27.2, but the option to activate the front-facing camera is only available on devices running the iOS 27.3 beta.Tag: Apple MusicThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

iPhone Jailbreak Gets Past Lockdown Mode and Survives an Update
Just over a week after jailbreaking an iPhone Duo on launch day, hacker team Calif is back with another jailbreak demonstration. This time, the group has jailbroken an iPhone in Lockdown Mode, and the jailbreak appears to persist across an iOS update. Calif shared a video of a jailbroken iPhone 18 Pro with Lockdown Mode on. From there, iOS 27.2 is installed, and the jailbreak remains in place after the update. It isn't clear whether the jailbreak could be installed on a device already running iOS 27.2. Apple describes Lockdown Mode as "extreme protection" for individuals who might be targeted by sophisticated mercenary spyware. Lockdown Mode disables a long list of features, blocking most message attachment types, limiting web technologies, blocking FaceTime calls from unfamiliar callers, disabling invites for Apple services, and removing location information from photos. Lockdown Mode helps, until it doesn't. https://t.co/1UyxPHQUAe— Calif (@calif_io) November 3, 2026 The video shows a malicious PDF sent to the target iPhone using AirDrop to initiate the jailbreak, with the file accepted by the user. Calif hasn't shared additional information, and the exact jailbreak steps are unknown. Earlier this year, Apple told TechCrunch that it was not aware of any successful mercenary spyware attacks against an iPhone in Lockdown Mode. Calif previously said it was disclosing vulnerabilities to Apple and did not plan to release a jailbreak tool for end users.This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
