If you want to play games on your iPhone or iPad, you're going to need a game controller, and the same is obvious for the Mac. GameSir's Cyclone 2 might be my favorite, thanks to a familiar feel and some notable features.The GameSir Cyclone 2 controller comes in a stealthy black color or a vibrant white.Sure, you can play iOS and iPadOS games using on-screen controls, and for some, that works like a charm. But for others, a controller is where it's at.For me, a controller is a must for a couple of reasons. The first is muscle memory. I've been playing games using some sort of controller since the late 1980s, and stabbing at a screen just doesn't have the feedback I need.

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss Apple's all-new "Invites" app for iPhone and iCloud. Subscribe to The MacRumors Show YouTube channel for more videos Earlier this week, Apple announced "Invites," which is designed to help users plan group events like birthday parties, graduations, vacations, baby showers, and more. Users can choose a background image or generate one using Image Playground and customize the look of the invite with different fonts. Apple automatically adds in data from the Maps and Weather apps so that invitees have all of the information they need for an event. People who receive invites can RSVP and the sender can track who has responded. There are options to create a dedicated shared Photos album and a collaborative Apple Music playlist for the event. Invites is an iCloud+ service, which means that it is available to iCloud+ subscribers only. iCloud+ is priced starting at $0.99 per month, and it provides users with additional iCloud storage over the free 5GB that comes with any device. While anyone is able to respond to an Invite that's sent out, creating invites is limited to iCloud+ subscribers. We discuss Apple's iCloud website and accessing the company's services from non-Apple devices, since Invites is also available via icloud.com. In addition, we reflect on the other apps that Apple has introduced in recent years, including Clips, News, Journal, and Sports.

Production on the third season of "Severance" is already underway, with its writers room currently active in Los Angeles. While Apple has not yet officially announced Severance's renewal, executive producer and director Ben Stiller told The Hollywood Reporter that work on the next season has begun. Stiller said that he hopes to avoid the nearly three-year gap that separated the first and second seasons. The prolonged development of Severance's second season is attributed to multiple factors, including the 2023 Hollywood strikes, which virtually halted production industry-wide. The second season also underwent extensive rewrites and reshoots as Stiller and the production team sought to refine character arcs and expand on the show's world-building to ensure that its "mystery box" narrative delivers on its premise. Stiller also indicated that Apple remains invested in maintaining the show's production quality amid falling budgets in the industry. The cost per episode for season two is believed to have approached $20 million, placing Severance among the most expensive series in Apple's streaming portfolio. According to Parrot Analytics, season one of Severance generated over $200 million in new subscriptions for Apple TV+, particularly in international markets. Apple does not release detailed viewership metrics, but third-party rankings have consistently placed Severance among its top-performing originals.Tags: Apple TV Plus, Apple TV ShowsThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums02:27 pmDid You Know iPhones Can Measure a Person's Height? Here's How
iPhones equipped with a LiDAR Scanner have a useful trick: they can be used to measure a person's height. In order to take advantage of this feature, you will need an iPhone Pro or Pro Max model released in 2020 or later. Below, we outline how to measure a person's height with an iPhone. How to Measure The ability to measure a person's height is built into Apple's pre-installed Measure app. Open the Measure app on a compatible iPhone (see list below). Make sure the person is visible on your iPhone's screen from head to toe. Wait a moment, and a line should appear at the top of the person's head with their height measurement. To take a photo of the measurement, tap the shutter button (filled-in white circle) in the bottom-right corner of the app. To save the photo, tap the screenshot in the bottom-left corner of the screen, tap Done at the top, and tap Save to Photos. Tips The app measures a person's height from the ground to the top of their head or hair. However, if the person is wearing a hat, the height measurement will be from the ground to the top of the hat. You can also measure a person's seated height. You can switch between imperial (feet and inches) and metric (centimeters) in the Settings app under Measure → Measure Units.Here are some additional tips from Apple's website: Make sure that you're in a place with good lighting. Avoid dark backgrounds and reflective surfaces. Check that the person you're measuring has nothing covering their face or head, like a face mask or sunglasses. Try to step back from the person you're measuring. You might be standing too close. Compatible iPhones The feature requires an iPhone with a LiDAR Scanner next to the rear camera. This sensor is typically used for augmented reality purposes, but its ability to measure a person's height is a useful bonus that many people don't know about. iPhone 12 Pro iPhone 12 Pro Max iPhone 13 Pro iPhone 13 Pro Max iPhone 14 Pro iPhone 14 Pro Max iPhone 15 Pro iPhone 15 Pro Max iPhone 16 Pro iPhone 16 Pro MaxThe feature is not available on any other iPhone models.This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums02:22 pmLondon police crackdown on phone snatching sees 230 arrests in one week

The UK government has ordered Apple to create a backdoor allowing access to encrypted cloud backups of users worldwide, Washington Post reported Friday, citing multiple sources familiar with the matter. The unprecedented demand, issued last month through a technical capability notice under the UK Investigatory Powers Act, requires Apple to provide blanket access to fully encrypted material rather than assistance with specific accounts. Apple is likely to discontinue its encrypted storage service in the UK rather than compromise user security globally, the report said. The company would still face pressure to provide backdoor access for users in other countries, including the United States. The order was issued under Britain's 2016 Investigatory Powers Act, which makes it illegal to disclose such government demands, according to the report. While Apple can appeal to a secret technical panel and judge, the law requires compliance during any appeal process. The company told Parliament in March that the UK government should not have authority to decide whether global users can access end-to-end encryption.

Macworld The 4th-gen iPhone SE was widely expected to launch at a dedicated press event in spring 2025, but the latest report claims it will be here quite a bit earlier than that. In an article for Bloomberg published Thursday, the respected leaker-analyst Mark Gurman predicted that the next version of Apple’s budget smartphone would be unveiled “in the coming days” before clarifying that the company expects this to happen “as early as next week.” That means some time between February 10 and 14, as opposed to the March or early April timing that a spring event normally means. These claims are largely based on the usual anonymous sources “with knowledge of the matter,” but Gurman tends to be right more often than he’s wrong. And he does offer the corroborating evidence that stocks of the 3rd-gen iPhone SE appear to be dwindling, at least in his neck of the woods; U.S. retail employees have been turning away potential SE customers, he reports, while online buyers face shipping delays until March. This sort of thing is frequently indicative that Apple has started winding up production ahead of a new launch. (I’m based in the U.K. and stocks here, by contrast, seem to be holding up. I tried ordering each model and in every case was offered delivery the very next day, and most were available for pickup from a local retail store the same day. Make of this what you will.) If the iPhone SE 4 is coming early, that wouldn’t be a total surprise. The 3rd-gen model may still be available in the U.S. and the U.K., but it had to be withdrawn from sale across the EU at the start of this year because it doesn’t comply with new regulations mandating USB-C ports on smartphones. The same fate befell the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus, leaving Apple with no remotely budget-focused smartphones across a major market for more than a month now… almost as if it didn’t have years to prepare. Once you add in the fact that Apple needs a cheap device with Apple Intelligence, it becomes clear that the sooner the new SE arrives, the better.

Apple's Advanced Data Protection for iCloud feature uses end-to-end encryption to provide the highest level of cloud data security that Apple offers. Here's everything you need to know about enabling it on your devices. The encrypted security feature gives you the choice to further protect your important iCloud data, including iCloud Backup, Photos, Notes, and more. Apple's use of end-to-end encryption means the vast majority of your most sensitive iCloud data can only be decrypted on your trusted Apple devices where you're signed in with your Apple ID account, ensuring that the data remains secure even in the case of a data breach in the cloud. In other words, no-one – not even Apple – can access your data except you. iCloud already protects 14 sensitive data categories using end-to-end encryption by default, including passwords in iCloud Keychain and Health data. For users who enable Advanced Data Protection, the total number of data categories protected using end-to-end encryption rises to 23, including iCloud Backup, Notes, and Photos. Advanced Data Protection provides end-to-end encryption for the following additional iCloud categories: Device Backups and Messages Backups iCloud Drive Notes Photos Reminders Voice Memos Safari Bookmarks Siri Shortcuts Wallet PassesThe only major iCloud data categories that are not covered are iCloud Mail, Contacts, and Calendar because of the need to interoperate with the global email, contacts, and calendar systems. Crucially, Advanced Data Protection for iCloud is an opt-in feature, so you must enable it yourself using the steps below. Note that if you lose access to your account, you can only recover your data using your device passcode or password, a recovery contact, or a recovery key. (You will be guided to set up at least one recovery contact or recovery key before Advanced Data Protection is enabled.) It's also worth bearing in mind that when Advanced Data Protection is enabled, access to your data via iCloud.com is disabled by default, although you will have the option to turn on data access on iCloud.com, which allows the web browser and Apple to have temporary access to data-specific encryption keys. Before you enable Advanced Data Protection, you'll first have to update all your devices to the latest software versions, otherwise you'll have to remove these devices from your account as they won't support end-to-end encryption. Advanced Data Protection is available globally on the iPhone, iPad, and Mac, running iOS 16.3 or later, iPadOS 16.3 or later, and macOS 13.2 or later, respectively. How to Enable Account Recovery on iPhone, iPad, and Mac Before turning on Advanced Data Protection, you'll need to set up Account Recovery. This ensures you can recover your data if you forget your password. Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad (or System Settings on Mac), and then select your Apple Account banner at the top of the menu. Select iCloud. Select Advanced Data Protection. Select Account Recovery and follow the onscreen instructions to set it up. During Account Recovery setup, you'll be able to select a recovery contact – a trusted person such as a family member or friend who also owns an Apple device. They will receive recovery codes if you ever forget your password. You'll also have the option to set a 28-character recovery key, which you'll need to print out and keep somewhere safe, or store in a password manager. How to Enable Advanced Data Protection on iPhone, iPad, and Mac Once Account Recovery is set up, you can enable Advanced Data Protection for iCloud Backups. Open Settings on iPhone or iPad (System Settings on Mac) and then select your Apple Account banner at the top of the menu. Select iCloud. Select Advanced Data Protection. Toggle on the switch for Advanced Data Protection to turn it on. That's it. Your iCloud backups are now protected with end-to-end encryption. You can turn off Advanced Data Protection at any time. Upon doing so, your device will securely upload the required encryption keys to Apple servers, and your account will revert to a standard level of protection.Tags: Apple Security, Encryption, iCloudRelated Forum: Apple Music, Apple Pay/Card, iCloud, Fitness+This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums01:18 pmReport: iPhone SE could shed its 10-year-old design “as early as next week”

Mac users running macOS Mojave (10.14) and earlier versions are reporting widespread issues accessing the Mac App Store, with many unable to sign in or download previously purchased apps. Based on reports compiled by Michael Tsai, the problems appear to have emerged around January 24, 2025, coinciding with Apple making changes to Mac App Store receipts. Users attempting to access the store on affected systems are receiving various error messages, including "An unexpected error occurred while signing in" and "The data couldn't be read because it isn't in the correct format." Different behaviors have been reported across affected macOS versions. Catalina (10.15) and later versions continue to function normally, while users on Mojave (10.14) can browse the store but are unable to complete new purchases or download previous purchases once their current session expires. Meanwhile, High Sierra (10.13) users are reporting missing interface elements and failed sign-in attempts, and Sierra (10.12) users are encountering error messages preventing access. The timing suggests a possible connection to Apple's recent changes in Mac App Store receipt handling, but the exact cause remains unclear. For users affected by these issues, Apple provides alternative sources for macOS installers, and many third-party apps remain available outside Apple's App Store ecosystem via direct downloads from developers' websites.Tag: Mac App StoreThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums12:59 pmDeepSeek's iOS app sends unencrypted data to Chinese servers

Apple's inventory of iPad Air and MacBook Air models is running low at its retail stores, indicating that refreshes for the devices are likely just around the corner. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that Apple's stock of both products is "dwindling," as the company gears up to launch new updates. Apple is expected to launch a MacBook Air with its faster M4 chip, along with updated iPad Air models during the first half of 2025. Some rumors have suggested the iPad Air will have the M3 chip that's a step behind the M4 in the iPad Pro, but Gurman said in January that Apple could opt for the M4 instead. A leaker who has provided reliable information in the past also said in January that the iPad Air 7 will use the M3 chip, not the M4 chip. No other major hardware or design changes are expected. Apple is also developing a new version of the Magic Keyboard for the iPad Air. It will not have an aluminum top case like the iPad Pro, but it could have a function row of keys and some other features from the iPad Pro Magic Keyboard. Apple is also believed to be working on a new 11th-generation entry-level iPad. Gurman has said Apple will use the A17 Pro chip – the same one that's in the iPhone 15 Pro models and the iPad mini 7. The A17 Pro chip supports Apple Intelligence, so presumably that means the new iPad will come with at least 8GB of RAM, which is the minimum requirement for Apple's suite of AI features. Gurman's inventory stock check was mentioned in a report claiming that Apple could announce the new iPhone SE 4 as soon as next week via a press release, with a launch to follow later in February. Gurman suggests that Apple will unveil its new low-cost iPhone the same time as the new PowerBeats Pro 2 earbuds, which Apple plans to unveil as soon as February 11. However, he also said the new MacBook Air and iPads are "coming soon," suggesting they are likely to arrive later in the spring.Related Roundups: iPad Air , MacBook AirTag: Mark GurmanBuyer's Guide: iPad Air (Neutral), 15" MacBook Air (Don't Buy), 13" MacBook Air (Don't Buy)Related Forums: iPad, MacBook AirThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums12:17 pmBritish government secretly ordered Apple to create a worldwide iCloud backdoor

Thanks, Apple
Macworld Last month, we covered a new SMS phishing scam specifically targeting iPhone users. The idea behind the scheme is to trick the recipient into replying to a text in order to activate a link, which would then be clicked, either purposefully or inadvertently, and activate a piece of malware. Messages in iOS 18 has a feature that turns off hyperlinks when receiving a text from a number that’s not in your Contacts list. That extra bit of security makes it difficult for scammers to trick you into clicking their links—unless you then reply, which unlocks the link. The idea is that the original text tricks you into replying with something as simple as a Y or N so the link will become clickable. It’s usually a question or some kind of opt-out trick to get you to respond. But the one I received on Thursday was neither clever nor tricky. The first tip-off was the sender’s name, which was too long to even display on the screen: hanwen.zhanyi.1991_zhongweicong-yulunchui@musician.org. The second clue was the message text, which told me my car had an unpaid toll and asked me to “settle properly” to avoid “excessive late fees.” Foundry After all that scary text was a web address without a hyperlink because the number was unknown. Instead of trying to trick me into responding, however, the rest of the message read: “Please reply Y, then exit the SMS and reopen to activate the link, or copy the link to your Safari browser and open it.” That’s about as obvious as a smishing attempt can get. I suppose it’s possible that an unsuspecting user could unwittingly follow those instructions and open their phone to malware, but mostly it’s just an advertisement for Apple’s excellent security measures to prevent attacks before they can even start.

Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Price When Reviewed$90 Best Prices Today: Ugreen CM850 USB4 NVMe enclosure Retailer Price $89.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket If you’ve shopped Thunderbolt in your quest for fast external Mac storage, you’ll know that sticker shock is often a pitfall of the process. You can reduce the monetary jolt by switching your search to USB4, which, being an outgrowth of Intel’s PCIe over-a-wire technology is just as fast as Thunderbolt 4. And it’s significantly cheaper than Thunderbolt, especially if you roll your own with something such as the UGreen CM850 NVMe M.2 enclosure. The CM850 is a more affordable version of the Ugreen’s CM642 that uses the same ASMedia ASM2464PD chip. It’s a gun-metal gray aluminum enclosure that’s approximately 4.75 by 2.1 by 0.6 inches and weighs 4.4 ounces. Its heft is nice, as is the top panel that pops off to reveal the internal M.2/NVMe slot that supports 2230 (22mm wide, 30mm long) to 2280 SSDs secured by a captive screw. The panel doesn’t have small screws to deal with (or lose). The CM850’s interior M.2 slot. Note the fan underneath the screw that’s used to secure the NVMe SSD. Your options on the Mac for 20Gbps/40Gbps performance are Thunderbolt 3, 4, or 5, all of which involve significantly pricier enclosures, and are not supported on the majority of Windows machines. That can be important if you work in a mixed environment. Adding an NVMe SSD to the CM850 will cost you anywhere from $40 (256GB) to $650 (8TB), with the sweet spot being the 1TB ($60) to 2TB ($160) range. Note that USB4 (or Thunderbolt for that matter) can’t use the extra bandwidth provided by PCIe 4.0 or 5.0 SSDs. PCIe 3.0 SSDs are quickly disappearing, but the point is, don’t overbuy. Beyond that, avoid QLC SSDs if you regularly write large amounts of data, and buy a DRAM design if you’re going to run an operating system off the drive or want top random performance. The best bang for the buck however will be cheaper TLC host memory buffer (HMB) drives. The CM850 with it’s silicone jacket in place. Artistically lit as well… Ugreen CM850: Performance The CM 850 is darn fast. In fact, in the aggregate, it’s the fastest external SSD we’ve tested. Take that with several grains of salt, however, as I populated the CM850 with the super-fast 8TB WD850X for my testing. Also, the Thunderbolt 5 OWC Envoy Ultra was significantly faster in Mac synthetic benchmarks, though its real-world transfers were little faster than SSDs with less haughty benchmark results. The charmingly simple, but generally quite accurate Disk Speed Test from Blackmagicdesign shows the 3GBps plus you get both reading and writing with the CM850–given a suitably fast NVME SSD inside. The charmingly simple, but generally quite accurate Disk Speed Test from Blackmagicdesign shows the 3GBps plus you get both reading and writing with the CM850 — given a suitably fast NVME SSD inside. AmorphousDiskMark (a port of the original CyrstalDiskMark) also shows well over 3GBps transfers. AmorphousDiskMark (a port of the original CyrstalDiskMark) also shows well over 3GBps transfers. ATTO Disk Benchmark says that the CM850 is perfectly capable of utilizing much of the performance any NVMe SSD will deliver. Within the confines of 40Gbps that is. PCIe 4.0 and 5.0 SSDs can go much faster than the 3GBps USB4 and Thunderbolt 4 allow. ATTO Disk Benchmark says that the CM850 is perfectly capable of utilizing much of the performance any NVMe SSD will deliver. Within the confines of 40Gbps that is. PCIe 4.0 and 5.0 SSDs can go much faster than the bus allows. I also ran the CM850 through PCWorld’s battery of tests, which is how that “fastest” claim is substantiated. The following are the results from CrystalDiskMark 8, as well as PCWorld’s 48GB transfers and 450GB write. These are all run on the PCWorld storage test bed’s Thunderbolt 4 ports, not a Mac. They’re still indicative of superior performance — given a superior NVMe SSD inside of course. Overall, the CM850 is number one among all external SSDs tested on that platform, with the CM642 finishing a very close second. That said, the Adata SE920 and OWC Express 1M2 are still both very fast drives that didn’t have the uber fast WD 8TB SN850X to help out. The UGreen siblings give their pre-populated rivals more than a run for their money. Keep in mind the super fast WD SN850X was inside. Longer bars are better. In both CrystalDiskMark 8’s sequential (above), and random (below) performance tests, the CM850 did very well. The UGreen siblings didn’t dominate in the 4K tests, but the results are still very good. Again, the super fast WD SN850X inside helped. Longer bars are better. The CM850, again with the aid of the WD SN850X was the fastest external enclosure we’ve tested with our 48GB transfers. The CM850 and its cousin bested both their rivals in our 48GB transfers, though the difference is within the margin of error. Shorted bars are better. The CM850 turned in the fastest 450GB write we’ve seen from an external drive. Bear in mind that the CM642 had the same 8TB WD SN850X inside. The WD SN850X allowed the UGreen enclosures to finish number 1 and 2 in our all time 450GG write times. Shorter bars are better. I did run into an issue with the CM850. While performing the 450GB write in the PCWorld testing, the drive would disappear with the sleeve on. No doubt due to thermal issues, internal fan or no. Removing the silicone jacket allowed it to finish, as did running a fan over it. Other than that, I was absolutely delighted with the CM850’s performance. (Who other than PCWorld writes 450GB files on a regular basis?) Should you buy the Ugreen CM850? The CM850 (or its pricier CM642 cousin) is an absolutely fantastic way to add 40Gbps storage to your Mac without paying that heavy Thunderbolt surtax. If you already have an NVMe SSD great, if you don’t, buy one and have at it. Good job, Ugreen.10:37 amUK Authorities Demand Back Door Access to iCloud Backups Globally
The British government has secretly demanded that Apple give it blanket access to all user content uploaded to the cloud, reports The Washington Post. The undisclosed order is said to have been issued last month, and requires that Apple creates a back door that allows UK security officials unencumbered access to encrypted user data worldwide – an unprecedented demand not before seen in any other democratic country. Apple is likely to stop offering encrypted storage in the UK, rather than break the security promises it made to its users, people familiar with the matter told the publication. However, that would not affect the UK order for backdoor access to the service in other countries, including the United States. Apple has previously said it would consider pulling services such as FaceTime and iMessage from the UK rather than compromise future security. The order came by way of a "technical capability notice," a document sent to Apple by the Home Secretary, ordering it to provide access under the sweeping UK Investigatory Powers Act (IPA) of 2016, labelled by critics the "Snooper's Charter," which authorizes law enforcement to compel assistance from companies when needed to collect evidence. An Apple spokesperson declined to comment on the revelation, though the law actually makes it a criminal offense to reveal that the government even made such a demand. Likewise, the Home Office told the publication that its policy was not to discuss any technical demands. "We do not comment on operational matters, including for example confirming or denying the existence of any such notices," a spokesman said. One of the people briefed on the situation, a consultant advising the United States on encryption matters, said Apple would be barred from warning its users that its most advanced encryption no longer provided full security. The person deemed it shocking that the U.K. government was demanding Apple’s help to spy on non-British users without their governments’ knowledge. A former White House security adviser confirmed the existence of the British order.The order would compromise Apple's Advanced Data Protection feature, which the company launched in 2022, giving users the option to enable end-to-end encryption for many additional iCloud data categories, including Photos, Notes, Voice Memos, Messages backups, device backups, and more. The IPA was updated in 2023 to allow the Home Office to outlaw certain encrypted services using a technical capability notice. Apple at the time called the then proposals "an unprecedented overreach by the government," saying that if the update was enacted, "the UK could attempt to secretly veto new user protections globally preventing us from ever offering them to customers."Tag: Apple PrivacyThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums10:30 amI still trust Apple–but how much longer is the question
Macworld I had a strange experience recently. I reached for my MacBook Pro to start work at around 7 am one day (before my first coffee, even!) and discovered that the device, stowed in my bag since the day before, was alarmingly warm. What was going on? Now, the machine is more than four years old and already a bit beat up. But I hadn’t dropped it, nor was there any other reason to fear thermal runaway (aka “imminent battery explosion”). Maybe it was something to do with macOS 15.3, which I had already downloaded during the day? The computer might have tried to install the update overnight. But not when it’s closed, you’d think. The suspicion turned out to be correct. When I opened up the Mac, its screen was completely black… apart from the film of dirt built up over the past four years, which really comes into its own when the machine is switched off. I plugged the Mac into a power supply. Nothing happened at first; fearing that the battery was almost flat, I had at least expected it to display the sad face screen once power was connected. My MacBook Pro strangely decided to install a macOS update—even though it was supposed to be asleep.Petter Ahrnstedt I then pressed the power button, and after a short time, the Apple logo appeared. Five minutes later, the familiar boot process, which fills several progress bars in a row after a system update, was complete and I was able to start working on a MacBook Pro that was now getting noticeably cooler. Back to business as usual, then. But I couldn’t help worrying. Sure, a desktop Mac installs downloaded system updates during the night, even if you haven’t shut it down in the evening but just put it to sleep. But surely a MacBook Pro that’s closed and stowed away in a briefcase should sleep much deeper than a Mac mini, iMac, or Mac Studio? That was the sort of common-sense approach that I trusted Apple to adopt. Now my trust has been shaken. Who can you trust these days? Your own experience and acquired knowledge, your own intuition? Institutions like the WHO? Or a company like Apple that feels like an institution to long-standing customers? On balance, I have decided that yes, we can trust Apple, even if it seems to be doing a lot these days to squander that trust. On far more serious issues than those that result in a hot MacBook Pro. Testing our trust At the end of January, we learned of a security gap in Apple silicon chips from M2 and A15 onwards that allows attackers to access sensitive data. According to the researcher who found the vulnerability, Apple has been aware of it for some time but has still not responded with a security update. iOS 18.3 and macOS 15.3 have closed some gaps and bolstered security, but the two vulnerabilities in SLAP and FLOP were not included. This is probably what prompted the Georgia Institute of Technology to go public. The Apple Watch has come under criticism for the safety of its bands.Dominik Tomaszewski / Foundry At least the security researchers confirmed Apple’s statement that there is no immediate danger. This makes us feel better about the issue not being addressed until iOS 18.3.1 or iOS 18.4. The release of the findings may have accelerated matters, of course. In the same month, toxins were discovered in smartwatch bands. As Apple is not only the best-known brand in this sector, but also by far the market leader, a class-action lawsuit was only filed against the Cupertino-based company. Apple put out a statement insisting that its wristbands do not pose any health risks, and we trust this statement. Apple explained years ago that it would ban toxic PFAS (polyfluoroalkyl substances) from its products, and that this was a long-term process. The company has repeatedly succeeded in removing environmental toxins from its products, often as a pioneer for the entire industry. PVC and brominated flame retardants have both been raised as concerns in the tech industry, and both are addressed in Apple’s environmental FAQs. But that’s the thing about trust. It doesn’t matter how hard you work to earn it; once you lose it, it’s difficult to regain. One breach of trust could be one too many. On thin ice I haven’t lost my trust in Apple, and the answer to the question in the headline is yes. However, in these times when the ice of civilization is growing thinner and thinner, the smallest thing could be enough to break through and drown in the waters below. I hope Apple will prove itself more resistant to declarations about the Gulf of Mexico, tariffs, and, most of all, diversity and inclusion. Simply put, how can Cupertino make the best products if it can no longer hire the best minds in the world? And how can the company be trusted if it betrays its cherished principles? (To be fair, there have been some positive indications in this direction.) In the next pandemic, people around the world may need Apple (and Google) to prove themselves more trustworthy than the U.S. health authorities. I also have to trust that Tim Cook knew what he was doing when he donated $1m from his personal fortune for the presidential inauguration. Because there’s a hell of a lot at stake, and in the end, trust is all you have.10:22 amMalaysia SMS Carrier Maintenance – Celcom and DiGi

Macworld People write in with mysteries all the time. One is why their Mac (and sometimes other devices) will seemingly connect to a Wi-Fi network just fine but not be able to access the internet via that connection. They know the password and network are both correct: they have other devices, like an iPhone, connected without a problem. The culprit is usually a firewall or VPN. Most people no longer use firewall software, even though macOS continues to offer it as an available feature in System Settings > Network. Apple’s is largely an application firewall, one that allows apps to communicate in and out, rather than a network one that can be configured to block incoming addresses, connections to certain internet ports on your computer, and other activities. (This is available from the command line in macOS, however.) If you use a third-party firewall that blocks traffic and can’t connect to the internet after making a valid Wi-Fi connection, check its rules and configuration. You may need to disable it for a moment or enable an option that prompts you to allow a new network configuration before proceeding. It’s more likely that you have a VPN (virtual private network) enabled for work, school, or personal protection. A VPN creates an encrypted tunnel between your device and some other point on the Internet, which may be inside a corporate or academic network’s firewall or in a data center when you’re using a VPN you pay for as a service. The trouble isn’t the VPN but the VPN’s ability to connect. When you connect to Wi-Fi, your VPN settings may have the service try to connect with its counterpart at the other end of the tunnel. If it can’t make that connection, it can appear that you have no internet connection. The solution is to either disable or remove the VPN. Depending on the VPN’s settings, you may be able to just flip its switch off; in some cases, you may need to disable an option that has it try to always make a VPN connection as soon as you connect to a network. VPN settings are located in Settings (iOS/iPadOS) or System Settings (macOS) at the top level if enabled or in Network. Configurations may be nested under VPN & Filters, depending on your version of the operating system. You can remove a VPN configuration by clicking or tapping the i (info) icon to the right of its name, clicking or tapping Remove Configuration, and confirming the operation. In iOS or iPadOS, you can also go to Settings > General > VPN & Device Management, select the VPN’s profile, tap Remove Profile, and confirm.

According to The Verge, the prototype speaker had a square shape, and it was similar to the look of Apple's now-discontinued MagSafe Battery Pack, but thicker. Some employees thought the speaker product would resonate with Gen Z, and expected it to deliver good sound regardless of the compact size. Sonos ended up scrapping the project, though, due to "technical limitations, questionable appeal, and a limited target market." Sonos has been working to expand its product lineup.

It is expected to look similar to the iPhone 14 but with a single camera on the rear.According to a report from Bloomberg, Apple could release the iPhone SE 4 "as early as next week."

Apple's next-generation iPhone SE could debut as soon as next week with a launch to follow later in February, reports Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Apple isn't expected to hold an event for the iPhone SE 4, and will instead unveil the device through a press release. The iPhone SE 4 is expected to have an iPhone 14-style design, with Apple eliminating the thick bezels and Touch ID Home button of the current iPhone SE. When the iPhone SE 4 launches, it will mark the end of Touch ID in the iPhone lineup. Apple is planning to unveil its custom in-house modem in the iPhone SE 4, and it will be the first iPhone to get the new modem chip. While Apple's modem chip won't be as advanced as Qualcomm's modem chips, it will be Apple's first step toward cutting down on its reliance on Qualcomm. The iPhone SE 4 will support Apple Intelligence, and it will be equipped with the same A18 chip that's in the iPhone 16 and 8GB RAM. It will also have a USB-C port, allowing it to be sold in Europe again, and it is expected to feature a single-lens 48-megapixel rear camera. While the current iPhone SE is priced at $429, Apple could increase the price of the new model due to the inclusion of the faster chip, Face ID, and other features. Pricing is expected to remain below $500 though, so that the iPhone SE 4 is competitive with lower-end smartphones from Samsung and Google. Gurman suggests that Apple will unveil the iPhone SE 4 around the same time as the new PowerBeats Pro 2 earbuds, which Apple plans to unveil as soon as February 11.

Information on new "SparkCat" malware infesting a small number of iOS apps was shared yesterday by Kaspersky, and shortly after the report came out, Apple pulled the apps from the App Store. Some of the apps that had hidden malware included ComeCome, WeTink, and AnyGPT. 11 apps were removed in total, but when removing the apps, Apple found another 89 with the same code that had been previously rejected or removed from the App Store for violating Apple's fraud policies. When an app is removed for fraud, Apple terminates the associated developer account. As outlined by Kaspersky, the apps used a malicious framework with OCR capabilities designed to suss out sensitive information in images and screenshots stored on iPhones. Recovery phrases for crypto wallets were a specific target, with attackers aiming to steal bitcoin and other cryptocurrency, but the malware could target other phrases like passwords. By default, Apple blocks access to a user's photos, so the apps would have needed express user consent to operate. If given permission to access a Photo Library, the apps could scan through the images to look for key phrases outlined by the attackers. If an image with a relevant phrase was found, it was uploaded to a remote server. Kaspersky found that the malware was likely targeting iOS users in Europe and Asia. It is worth noting that Apple added granular control over the images that an app is able to access back in iOS 14, and there is an option to provide access to a limited number of images rather than an entire library. It is a good idea to avoid apps that seem sketchy, and to refrain from giving an app access to all of your images. Apple also provides an App Privacy Report that outlines all of the instances when an app accesses sensitive data like location, images, camera, and microphone. The App Private Report can be found in the Privacy section of the Settings app.This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums11:15 pmDubious leak purportedly details the exact specifications of Apple's foldable iPhone
Rumors of an alleged iPhone Fold have been floating around for years, but now a suspicious report claims to have revealed the exact specifications of the device.The specifications of Apple's foldable iPhone were allegedly posted online.The purported specs were shared via social media by leaker Jukanlosreve, formerly known as TechReve.

Following a price increase in the United States and Canada earlier this year, Netflix is raising its prices in the UK as well. According to Cord Busters, all of Netflix's plans are going to be more expensive going forward. The Standard plan with Ads is £1 more expensive at £5.99 per month, while the Standard plan is now priced at £12.99 per month, a £2 increase. The high-end premium plan costs £18.99 per month, up £1 from the prior £17.99 per month price. The UK price hike is in line with the price increases that Netflix made in the United States. The Standard with Ads plan is $7.99 (up $1), the Standard plan is $17.99 per month (up $2), and the Premium plan is $24.99 per month (up $2). When raising prices in the United States, Netflix said that it will use the money to provide more value to subscribers. "As we continue to invest in programming and deliver more value for our members, we will occasionally ask our members to pay a little more so that we can re-invest to further improve Netflix." Netflix's price increases and crackdowns on password sharing have been successful for the company. In the fourth quarter of 2024, Netflix gained 19 million new subscribers and saw 16 percent revenue growth. Netflix has more than 300 million paying subscribers, and it is expecting continued growth in 2025.Tags: Netflix, United KingdomThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums10:53 pmUS SMS Carrier Maintenance – Small US Carriers

Google this week announced that the Google app for iOS now supports Auto Dark Mode on compatible iPhones and iPads. Auto Dark Mode will ensure that dark mode is on regardless of the website that you're browsing using the app's built-in browser, but Google warns that the quality of the conversion to dark mode can vary. Websites with an existing dark theme will default to that instead of using Google's new dark mode option. With Auto Dark Mode activated, the Google app will automatically swap over to the dark theme for websites whenever Dark Mode on your Apple device is activated. The feature was previously available through Search Labs, but it is now rolling out to all users. The option can be activated by tapping on the three dots in the upper right corner when visiting a website. The Google app is free to download from the App Store.

iOS 19 is rumored to feature a redesigned Camera app with visionOS-like menus and buttons, but the changes might go beyond that. As noted by Apple enthusiast Parker Ortolani, both the Apple Sports app from last year and the new Apple Invites app have a more visionOS-like design language with translucent or "glassy" buttons and user interface elements. "The last new Apple app, Apple Sports, already felt out of place in iOS 18," wrote Ortolani. "It has a more visionOS or watchOS-like design language utilizing colorful backgrounds, glassy floating UI elements, expanding buttons, and lots of layered shapes. Apple Invites takes it all even further. It's got big beautiful cards, translucent cells, big bold buttons, and an emphasis on content. It feels so clearly like a hint of what is to come in a future iOS update." It seems like a reasonable possibility that this "glassy" design could extend to other iOS 19 apps and interfaces, although this is purely speculation for now. Apple should announce iOS 19 at WWDC 2025 in June.Related Roundup: iOS 19This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums09:04 pmApple TV and MLS make sensible tradeoff with new ‘Sunday Night Soccer’ package

Foldable display technology could be the next major design change that Apple introduces for the iPhone, and we've been hearing rumors about an iPhone that folds in half for over eight years now. Rumors have been all over the place as Apple has experimented with different prototypes, and now one questionable source claims to have new details on Apple's plans. The information, said to be sourced from "foldable iPhone supply chain research," comes from "zwz," and was highlighted by leaker Jukanlosreve. We are not familiar with zwz, some of the measurements are wrong, and the details don't match with other recent rumors we've heard, so the claims should be viewed with skepticism. Here's what's rumored, along with our commentary. Folding Mechanism There is supposedly a "large folding mechanism on the left rear side, and the device opens like a book with a horizontal fold." 2024 rumors from The Information suggested Apple is working on a clamshell iPhone that folds vertically, like Samsung's Z Flip. Sizing The rumor suggests that the internal (opened) display would be comparable to two 6.1-inch iPhones, "resulting in a total size of over 12 inches." Two 6.1-inch iPhones side by side would have a diagonal size of around 7.5 inches. A total size over 12 inches would be an iPad Pro folded in half, which would make for an enormous smartphone. There are rumors of a large foldable iPad-like device, but that is distinct from the rumored foldable iPhone. The report even mentions a 2027 launch for a foldable iPad and MacBook, so there is no confusion over which device the source is talking about. It also says that "progress on small foldable phones is minimal," with focus on "large foldable phones." Thickness The report says the foldable iPhone will have a 4.6mm thickness when unfolded, and a 9.2mm thickness when folded. That's perhaps unrealistically thin. Samsung has been making foldable iPhones for six years and the current Z Fold is 5.6mm thick when unfolded. The thinnest device Apple has made to date is the 5.1mm iPad Pro, and that device doesn't have any kind of hinge mechanism. Display Supplier Apple will allegedly use displays developed and supplied by Samsung, but another rumor from last week suggested Apple had not yet selected a display supplier, and would not do so until late February or early April. There have been other rumors about Samsung supplying foldable displays to Apple, but Apple is also rumored to be working with LG Display. Cameras The foldable iPhone will supposedly have an ultra-thin front camera that uses Meta Lens technology. This is technology that was rumored to be coming to the iPhone 17 lineup, but recent information suggests it's been scrapped for that device. There are also supposedly Main and Ultra Wide cameras for a dual-lens rear camera setup. Battery The foldable iPhone will allegedly use two "stainless steel-cased batteries" with a combined capacity of 5,000mAh. Launch Date The foldable iPhone is said to be coming in fall 2026, which is not too far off from other rumors we've heard. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Jeff Pu, The Information, and The Wall Street Journal have all targeted late 2026 or early 2027.Tag: Foldable iPhoneThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums08:41 pmcan’t install self signed cert onto iOS 18.3 device or Simulator
