Apple today surprised us with a new Invites app, which is designed for planning events like birthday parties, vacations, and baby showers. We checked it out in our latest video to see how it works, what you can use it for, and to demonstrate all of the different features in the app. Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos. Invites is a standalone app that you can download from the App Store, but it's also got an accompanying iCloud+ service. You need an iCloud+ subscription to create an invite to an event, but there is no subscription needed to join an event. In fact, you don't even need an Apple device. People without an Apple device can be invited to an event and can join and see event details from a web browser, similar to how iCloud works on any device through a browser. Creating an event is a simple process. You tap on the "+" button, and then there's an interface that walks you through each step. Apple offers a selection of backgrounds to choose from, some of which feature emoji characters and some that are event appropriate with balloons, confetti candy, popcorn, and more. You can also choose a photo from your Photos app or make an image with Image Playground if you have an Apple Intelligence-capable device. After selecting a background, you can add an event title, a date and time, a location, and include a description that has information your guests need to know. There are options to set up a Shared Album that all attendees can contribute to during and after the event, plus there is an option to create a collaborative Apple Music playlist. When an event is ready to go, you can create a link that you can send out to a group of people through Messages or email. You can also send individual invites with a unique link for each person, though you need to give the app access to your Contacts for that. You can choose to allow anyone with the link to join, or you can turn on approvals so you'll need to greenlight anyone who requests to attend. Event creators can cancel an event at any time, change details, and remove attendees. If you receive a link to an invite, you'll be able to tap in and choose whether you're able to attend, not attend, or maybe attend. All invitees and the event creator can see who is going to an event, and Apple automatically adds weather information and directions to the event location. Weather information will be general for events that are several weeks or months out, but will get more specific as the event date approaches. The location listing can be tapped and it will open up in Maps with turn-by-turn directions. Invite creators can add notes that are sent out to everyone to provide updates on an upcoming event, and the selected playlist can be played from the Invite interface. Photos can be added to shared albums at any time, and will be available to all attendees. Events are shown in a card-style interface in the Invites app, and you can swipe between both events you've created and events you're attending. The app has sections for past events and for drafts that you've created but haven't sent out yet. Will you use the Invites app?

Macworld Apple has launched a new in-house iPhone app designed to help users organize social gatherings. It’s called Apple Invites, and it’s out now. As the name suggests, the first duty of the app is to create custom event invitations. You can use one of your own images as the main illustration, or choose one from a curated library themed around various occasions. You can also, inevitably, get Apple Intelligence involved, using Image Playground to generate “original” images tailored to the event and the people in attendance or Apple Intelligence’s writing tools to craft the perfect text. The invites feature directions and a weather forecast (thanks to integration with Apple Maps and Weather) and allow invitees to RSVP and view attendees based on RSVPs already submitted. Apple says you need to be an iCloud+ subscriber to create invitations using the app, but anyone, even those without an Apple device or account, can RSVP to one. However, the app has a larger scope than just creating and sending out the invitation. Guests can also upload photos and videos of the event to a Shared Album contained within the invite, and (if they subscribe to Apple Music) contribute to collaborative playlists. It isn’t clear if there will be any ability to upload playlists from Spotify or other services in the future but for now, at least the app directs you to Apple Music only. David Price / Foundry Given that it’s a software-only release with no hardware supply chain to leak out details ahead of the launch, Apple may have hoped that Invites would come as a surprise. But details were spotted in beta code in January and last Sunday Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman said the app could arrive as early as this week. The only thing he seems to have got wrong is that he persistently and pointedly referred to it as a service, not the app it has turned out to be (though it’s linked to iCloud+). Good news for Gurman, then, and seemingly good news for Apple and its customers. But as is often the case with a new Apple app, there are losers too, because Invites appears to fill a niche previously occupied by third-party app developers. Apple is notorious for “Sherlocking” its software partners in this way, bringing features they previously offered as independent apps within its own ecosystem and thereby putting them out of a job. Developers of apps such as Evite will have received the news of this launch with dismay. Apple Invites is available right now (for the iPhone only; there’s no sign of an iPad version) on the App Store. App Store search, never the most efficient, didn’t seem to have gotten the memo when I started writing this article, but after updating to iOS 18.3 and waiting half an hour I’m finding that it’s showing up fine. I’m not sure if the update or the wait made the crucial difference.05:35 pmApple Raises Monthly AppleCare+ Subscription Price for All iPhones
Apple this week increased the prices for its monthly AppleCare+ subscription prices for the iPhone, raising the cost by 50 cents for all models in the United States. Standard AppleCare+ for the iPhone 16 models is now priced at $10.49 per month, for example, up from the prior $9.99 per month price. The 50 cent price increase applies to all available AppleCare+ plans for Apple's current iPhone lineup, and it includes both the standard plan and the Theft and Loss plan. The two-year AppleCare+ subscription prices have not changed, nor have the service fees and deductibles. The increased prices are only applicable when paying for AppleCare+ on a monthly basis. Apple has not raised the prices of AppleCare+ subscription plans for the iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch. Apple's price tweak for iPhone AppleCare+ monthly subscriptions come as it prepares to shift AppleCare+ purchasing options to subscriptions. Apple is phasing out one-time purchase AppleCare+ plans in retail stores as of this week. In Apple Stores, customers who make a purchase will have the option to purchase AppleCare+ as a monthly or annual subscription that renews, which eliminates any lapse in coverage and provides Apple with ongoing revenue after a two-year period. Apple is keeping one-time AppleCare+ purchase options available in its online store for the time being, so customers who prefer buy a non-renewing AppleCare+ plan that expires at the end of two years can still opt for that.Tag: AppleCareThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums05:29 pmApple limits AppleCare+ one-time payment options, prioritizes subscriptions

Macworld Malwarebytes has released its 2025 State of Malware report, which reveals that AI has also captured the attention of threat agents and will become a key tool in future malware attacks. The AI implementation that has gained a wide audience is generative AI, which can create content based on a user’s inquiry. For example, Apple Intelligence tools such as the Image Playground app or Writing Tools create content based on input the user provides. According to Malwarebytes, generative AI has not had a significant impact on malware. However, the next iteration of AI is what experts call agentic AI, which can act autonomously to solve complex, multi-tiered problems. According to Malwarebytes, “Big game ransomware requires a lot of human labor,” and a lot of that labor can be addressed with agentic AI by threat agents. “Agentic AI could be used to scale up the number and speed of attacks,” according to the report. Agentic AI can also be used to defend against malware attacks through autonomous agents that can proactively check for vulnerabilities, monitor systems, and ensure that security patches are put into place. Malwarebytes recommends that organizations “operate their security as efficiently as possible” to protect against attacks, which includes active monitoring of security consoles and acting on alerts immediately. Automated tools can be used to install security patches quickly and efficiently. Malwarebyte’s report is targeted at IT professionals and the “big game” attacks the report covers involve corporations. The report also states that 2024 was the worst year ever for known ransomware attacks, which rose 13 percent. The U.S. saw a majority of the reported attacks, and two-thirds of the attacks were targeted at the manufacturing sector. The easiest way to protect yourself as an individual user from malware is to avoid downloading software from repositories such as GitHub and other download sites. Apple has vetted software in the Mac App Store and is the safest way to get apps. If you prefer not to patronize the Mac App Store, then buy software directly from the developer and their website. If you insist on using cracked software, you will always risk malware exposure. Apple releases security patches through OS updates, so installing them as soon as possible is important. Macworld has several guides to help, including a guide on whether or not you need antivirus software, a list of Mac viruses, malware, and trojans, and a comparison of Mac security software.04:34 pmNew Apple Invites app is now live on the App Store

Here’s the story of how a few little bears led their creators right to an Apple Design Award.Bears Gratitude is a warm and welcoming title developed by the Australian husband-and-wife team of Isuru Wanasinghe and Nayomi Hettiarachchi.Journaling apps just don’t get much cuter: Through prompts like “Today isn’t over yet,” “I’m literally a new me,” and “Compliment someone,” the Swift-built app and its simple hand-drawn mascots encourage people to get in the habit of celebrating accomplishments, fostering introspection, and building gratitude. “And gratitude doesn’t have to be about big moments like birthdays or anniversaries,” says Wanasinghe. “It can be as simple as having a hot cup of coffee in the morning.”ADA FACT SHEETBears Gratitude Winner: Delight and Fun Available on: iOS, iPadOS, macOS Team size: 2 Download Bears Gratitude from the App StoreWanasinghe is a longtime programmer who’s run an afterschool tutoring center in Sydney, Australia, for nearly a decade. But the true spark for Bears Gratitude and its predecessor, Bears Countdown, came from Hettiarachchi, a Sri Lankan-born illustrator who concentrated on her drawing hobby during the Covid-19 lockdown.Wanasinghe is more direct. “The art is the heart of everything we do,” he says.In fact, the art is the whole reason the app exists. As the pandemic months and drawings stacked up, Hettiarachchi and Wanasinghe found themselves increasingly attached to her cartoon creations, enough that they began to consider how to share them with the world. The usual social media routes beckoned, but given Wanasinghe’s background, the idea of an app offered a stronger pull.“In many cases, you get an idea, put together a design, and then do the actual development,” he says. “In our case, it’s the other way around. The art drives everything.”The art is the heart of everything we do.Isuru Wanasinghe, Bears Gratitude cofounderWith hundreds of drawings at their disposal, the couple began thinking about the kinds of apps that could host them. Their first release was Bears Countdown, which employed the drawings to help people look ahead to birthdays, vacations, and other marquee moments. Countdown was never intended to be a mass-market app; the pair didn’t even check its launch stats on App Store Connect. “We’d have been excited to have 100 people enjoy what Nayomi had drawn,” says Wanasinghe. “That’s where our heads were at.”But Countdown caught on with a few influencers and become enough of a success that the pair began thinking of next steps. “We thought, well, we’ve given people a way to look forward,” says Wanasinghe. “What about reflecting on the day you just had?’”Gratitude keeps the cuddly cast from Countdown, but otherwise the app is an entirely different beast. It was also designed in what Wanasinghe says was a deliberately unusual manner. “Our design approach was almost bizarrely linear,” says Wanasinghe. “We purposely didn’t map out the app. We designed it in the same order that users experience it.”Other unorthodox decisions followed, including the absence of a sign-in screen. “We wanted people to go straight into the experience and start writing,” he says. The home-screen journaling prompts are presented via cards that users flip through by tapping left and right. “It’s definitely a nonstandard UX,” says Wanasinghe, “but we found over and over again that the first thing users did was flip through the cards.”Our design approach was almost bizarrely linear. We purposely didn’t map out the app. We designed it in the same order that users experience it.Isuru Wanasinghe, Bears Gratitude cofounderAnother twist: The app’s prompts are written in the voice of the user, which Wanasinghe says was done to emphasize the personal nature of the app. “We wrote the app as if we were the only ones using it, which made it more relatable,” he says.Then there are the bears, which serve not only as a distinguishing hook in a busy field, but also as a design anchor for its creators. “We’re always thinking: ‘Instead of trying to set our app apart, how do we make it ours?’ We use apps all the time, and we know how they behave. But here we tried to detach ourselves from all that, think of it as a blank canvas, and ask, ‘What do we want this experience to be?’”Bears Gratitude isn’t a mindfulness app — Wanasinghe is careful to clarify that neither he nor Nayomirachchi are therapists or mental health professionals. “All we know about are the trials and tribulations of life,” he says.But those trials and tribulations have reached a greater world. “People have said, ‘This is just something I visit every day that brings me comfort,’” says Wanasinghe. “We’re so grateful this is the way we chose to share the art. We’re plugged into people’s lives in a meaningful way.”Meet the 2024 Apple Design Award winnersBehind the Design is a series that explores design practices and philosophies from finalists and winners of the Apple Design Awards.

Apple today announced the launch of a new app called "Invites," which is designed to allow users to plan events like birthday parties, graduations, vacations, baby showers, and more. "With Apple Invites, an event comes to life from the moment the invitation is created, and users can share lasting memories even after they get together," said Brent Chiu-Watson, Apple's senior director of Worldwide Product Marketing for Apps and iCloud. "Apple Invites brings together capabilities our users already know and love across iPhone, iCloud, and Apple Music, making it easy to plan special events." The app supports creating invitations that can be sent out to people. There are options to choose a background image from the Photos app or select an emoji background, with font customization available. Apple automatically adds in information from the Maps and Weather apps so that invitees have all of the data they need for an event, such as weather conditions and directions. Apple designed Invites with Apple Intelligence in mind. When creating an invite, there is an option to take advantage of Image Playground to create original images using text-based descriptions. Writing Tools can also be employed to find the ideal phrasing for an invitation. People who receive invites can RSVP, and there is a built-in method that allows the sender to track who has responded. When the event happens, there's an option to create a collaborative event soundtrack so everyone can contribute music, and a dedicated shared album lets event goers see photos and videos and contribute their own. Invites is an iCloud+ service, which means that it is available to iCloud+ subscribers. 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. Apple Invites is available for all iPhone models that run iOS 18 or later, and the app can be downloaded from the App Store for free.

Our advice though is that the price of an older iPad mini will need to be really good to compete with the new models that offer twice the storage for the same price. iPad mini (2021, 6th gen, 64GB): MSRP was $499/£499, now discontinued Note that this comes with half the storage of the baseline 2024 model, so the current deals will need to be really good or you should just buy the newer model with 128GB storage rather than 64GB.

The main iCloud.com page has seemingly confirmed Apple's rumored invites feature, which has yet to be officially announced by the company. The page says "Apple Invites" will be an iCloud+ feature:Upgrade to iCloud+ to get more storage, plan events with Apple Invites, and have peace of mind with privacy features like iCloud Private Relay, Hide My Email, and HomeKit Secure Video.iCloud+ is essentially Apple's name for paid iCloud storage plans, which start at $0.99 per month in the United States. Apple includes some additional perks with iCloud+ plans at no additional cost, such as iCloud Private Relay and HomeKit Secure Video, and it seems that Apple Invites is the newest perk that is set to be offered. As the name implies, Apple Invites would presumably help users to organize meetings and other events. iCloud would sync the invites across Apple devices, and there will likely be an iCloud.com/invites page on the web. It is not entirely clear if Apple Invites will be a standalone app, or a feature built into existing iCloud-based apps, such as Calendar and Mail. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple Invites could be announced as early as this week.Tags: Apple Invites, iCloudRelated Forum: Apple Music, Apple Pay/Card, iCloud, Fitness+This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums03:04 pmTwitterrific team launches new ‘Tapestry’ iPhone app for Bluesky, Mastodon, RSS, more

Apple has yet to announce any new products this year, but that should change in February. At a minimum, there will be Powerbeats Pro 2 next week, and there is a decent chance that the MacBook Air will be updated this month. On the software side, Apple is expected to announce an all-new "Invites" app soon, and the first iOS 18.4 beta should be released this month. Below, we recap what to expect from Apple in the month of February. 'Invites' App Last month, 9to5Mac discovered iOS 18.3 code references to a potential new "Invites" app from Apple, that would help users to organize meetings and other events. The report said the app would have iCloud integration, meaning that event invites would sync across Apple devices and be available on the web at iCloud.com. MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris might have found a clue that Apple is preparing to launch iCloud.com/invites. Over the weekend, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said the new iCloud-based service is codenamed "Confetti" within Apple. He said it will offer users a "new way to invite people to parties, functions, and meetings." He did not say if this functionality would be available through an all-new app, or built into an existing app, such as Calendar. Apple plans to announce the new app or service as early as this week, according to Gurman. He said it will be tied to iOS 18.3, which was released last week. There are still many unknown details, so we will have to wait for Apple's expected announcement to learn more about exactly what the company has planned. Powerbeats Pro 2 Last year, Apple teased that Powerbeats Pro 2 would be released in 2025. A few days ago, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said Apple plans to announce the wireless earbuds on Tuesday, February 11, with U.S. pricing set at $250. Powerbeats Pro are a sportier, fitness-focused alternative to AirPods Pro with built-in, adjustable ear hooks for a secure fit. According to Gurman, the Powerbeats Pro 2 will feature the same H2 chip as used in the AirPods Pro 2, which will enable improved active noise cancellation compared to the original Powerbeats Pro. Apple's teaser video last year showed MLB star Shohei Ohtani wearing the Powerbeats Pro 2, revealing a more vertical, slimmer design compared to the original Powerbeats Pro, which launched in 2019 and are now discontinued. We previously discovered that Powerbeats Pro 2 will offer heart rate monitoring during workouts. Based on our iOS 18 code findings, you will be able to connect the Powerbeats Pro 2 to gym equipment like a treadmill to measure heart rate, and the data will be visible in the Health app and other supported apps on the iPhone. iOS 18 code also revealed that Powerbeats Pro 2 will be available in four new color options, including a vibrant "Electric Orange." Based on other recent Beats headphones, other potential upgrades for the Powerbeats Pro 2 over the originals include improved sound quality, longer battery life, and a USB-C port instead of Lightning on the charging case. New MacBook Air? According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, new MacBook Air models will be announced "earlier" than some other devices rumored to launch this spring, such as the iPhone SE 4 and iPad 11. He has repeatedly said the new MacBook Air models are already in production, so a release as early as February rather than March or April seems possible. Likely upgrades for the next 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air models include the M4 chip, Thunderbolt 4 ports, and more. iOS 18.4 Beta The first iOS 18.4 beta should be released at some point this month. The software update is expected to introduce several new Apple Intelligence features for Siri, including on-screen awareness, deeper per-app controls, understanding of the user's personal context, and more. Apple Intelligence, which requires an iPhone 15 Pro or any iPhone 16, will also be made available in additional languages. Other new features expected in iOS 18.4 include new emoji, the ability to set default map and translation apps in the EU, and more. Apple's website suggests that iOS 18.4 will be released in April.Related Roundups: iOS 18, iPadOS 18, MacBook AirTag: BeatsBuyer's Guide: 15" MacBook Air (Don't Buy), 13" MacBook Air (Don't Buy)Related Forums: iOS 18, iPadOS 18, MacBook AirThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums02:33 pmApple wants you to be able to point your iPhone at anything to control it

Macworld At a glanceExpert's Rating Pros More than 50 tools and utilities Available for Mac and Windows Slick, easy-to-use interface Cons Requires annual subscription Few users will need all tools Would like to see a backup utility included Our Verdict Among the collection of 50+ tools there are some real gems, like the Clipboard History and video download tools. There’s also a lot of tools you probably don’t need, but someone somewhere does. It’s a shame that a Toolbox now requires an annual subscription (unless you get it as part of Parallels Desktop) but you can take advantage of the 7-day trial to see how useful Toolbox will be for you.

The CD-ROM generally contained various demos, updates, and free utilities to try out, and as you loaded it onto your Mac and copied everything over to try out later, your geeky heart thrilled to the idea of being able to play with some cool new applications and utilities you otherwise might not have come across. Parallels, makers of the Parallels desktop virtualization software, has kept this alive with Parallels Toolbox, which stands at version 7.0.0 as of this writing (version 7 launched in September 2024). What’s present in Parallels Toolbox is a giant grab bag of small, cool apps that function somewhat as system widgets, but are still unique in their own right. Parallels Toolbox is included in our review of the best cleaner apps for Macs, and for good reason, as it includes a number of tools and features that can help you to fully uninstall apps, and clear out old or duplicate files that are taking up unnecessary disk space. However, there’s a lot more to Toolbox than that simple handful of features. Parallels Toolbox applications number more than 50 tools available in the Files, Audio, Images, Photography, Internet, Screen Capture, System, Time, Utilities, and Video categories. The applications arrive as small downloads and are easy to dive into, with pre-loaded utilities like Uninstall, Download Video, Free Memory, and Clean Drive clamoring for your attention while the Library hints at other nifty apps that can be downloaded and explored. Each tool works like a kind of mini-app that performs one specific task – such as the Free Memory tool, which shows how much memory your Mac currently has free, and which apps that you’re running are using the most memory. Since it first launched as a small collection of utilities that were–and still are–included free of charge along with Parallels Desktop. The app has continued to grow and is now available as a standalone product for both Mac and Windows, with an annual subscription fee of $24.99/£20.99 a year. There’s also a 7-day free trial available so that you can try it out before deciding if you want to buy the full version. Parallels Toolbox tools You can set Parallels Toolbox to run automatically when you start your Mac, and the Toolbox icon will then be displayed on the Mac’s main Menu bar–alongside Time, Volume and other standard Mac controls. This allows you to open a pull-down menu that has two tabs for displaying tools. The Dashboard tab shows some of the most popular tools to help you get started, as well as the tools that you’ve used most recently. There’s also a Library tab that displays the entire list of tools that are available, with additional sub-tabs that sort tools into related groups, such as Video Tools or System Tools. You can tag your favourite tools so that they are added to the Dashboard view for quick access, but many tools can also be placed with their own icons in the Menu bar as well, and there’s also an option to create your own keyboard shortcuts to launch individual tools as well. Find the tool you need for the job in Parallels Toolbox.Foundry A collection of more than 50 tools means that there’s a lot to take in when first getting started but, as mentioned, Toolbox can sort tools into groups to help you find the tools you need. If you’re looking for cleaner tools that can help you to reclaim disk space or fine-tune your Mac’s performance then the Clean Drive tool can locate unnecessary files that are taking up space on your Mac, and also find duplicate files that you may no longer need. Another tool can fully uninstall Mac apps, along with any related files that may be scattered around your Mac’s drive. It can also highlight large files that are taking up a lot of space, such as games that you may not need anymore. Other groups of tools include Video Tools, with options such as Download Video, which can help you to download videos from YouTube and other websites, while Convert Video can convert your video files into different formats for use on an iPhone or iPad, or even into the AVI or WMV formats for Windows devices. The video tools also include options for creating screen recordings and animated GIFs, and there’s a useful Download Audio tool, which lets you just grab the audio track from video files that you find online. Here’s an overview of some of the most useful tools we found: The Uninstall app works as well as can be expected, and while this definitely isn’t completely original on the Mac in this day and age, it allows you to go through a list of installed applications on your Mac, pick and choose what to remove, and reliably strip out both the app and its support files, which comes in handy. Where Download Video is concerned, this actually functions more as a web browser extension than a standalone app, but it’s simple, to the point, and allows you to easily save Internet-based video as well as offers an option for whether or not to save a video’s subtitles. Yes, 4K Video Download offers more options, such as isolating audio and video for download, but this offers something simple and handy and worth trying out. Foundry Clean Drive: Once again, this feels a bit typical/in line with similar utilities being developed by other companies these days, but it offers easy notifications and access as to what’s eating drive space (i.e., log files, cache files, trash, browser data, mail cache, mobile apps, iTunes temp files, iOS device backups, and old updates) and offers a nice level of control as to clearing them out. Clean Drive also offers quick access to the macOS Storage pane, which tends to be overlooked, and allows you to adjust your storage preferences on the fly. Free Memory: Similar to other memory cleaners on the market, this notifies you as to where your Mac’s RAM/Unified Memory is going, which applications are munching up the majority of it, and allows you to mark the amount of free memory in macOS’ Menu Bar, which can be useful. Parallels Toolbox will free up memory on your Mac.Foundry Record Screen: This turned out to be both cool and handy, and after assigning it permission in the Screen & System Audio pane, it allows you to record what’s on screen as a QuickTime movie file and save it to the desktop. You’ll need to tinker with its options to get it exactly how you want it, but it’s impressive nonetheless. Break Time: The Break Time tool tracks time reminds you to get away from your computer every now and then. It is fairly customizable to boot. It’s easy to add your work calendar, customize notification sounds, and tell it to block your screen during breaks, thereby forcing you to actually relax and yank yourself away from a device for once in your life, and that’s appreciated. Yes, it could be a bit more customizable and offer an option to enter more specific numerical times for work and break cycles, but this is off to a good start and succeeds in reminding you to pull yourself away from your Mac throughout the day. Unit Converter: Just a nifty widget that can take just about any numerical unit and convert it into distances, monetary units, or about anything you can imagine on the fly. Yes, other widgets do this as well, but this is easy to pull up and work with and fun to boot. Transform Text: This got me truly into Parallels Toolbox and made me a fan, offering a quick and easy set of text settings that can be readily copied over to other apps and pasted in as desired. Yes, being able to create backwards and upside-down text to send along to friends may seem a bit silly, but this is a fun tool that makes you want to see what else you can come up with. Screenshot Foundry Encrypt: The cool on-the-fly encryption application Hollywood promised but no one ever actually delivered. This allows you to drag and drop files and folders in, and quickly encrypts everything to the .pboxz format, which can be locked to the password of your choice. It’s quick, it’s speedy in both its encryption and decryption functions, and you can designate where the file is saved to as well as save your passwords to the macOS keychain for easy retrieval. Eject Volumes: This ejects all the external volumes mounted on your Mac at once, which can be incredibly convenient, or at least easier than telling a friend or family member to remember to drag a volume to the trash or tell them to click an icon and use Command-E to eject it, which is a conversation I’ve had dozens of times over the years that never got less frustrating. Clipboard History: One of the biggest groups of tools is time-saving Productivity Tools. My personal favourite–which has earned its own spot on my iMac’s Menu bar–is Clipboard History, which can store multiple text and graphics items that you have copied into the clipboard, going back as far as the last 30 days. This is really useful for me when writing and editing articles as it allows me to quickly look back and retrieve text or graphics that I may need to use again. Foundry Focus On: I also like the ability to quickly launch an entire group of apps or files with one click–such as Pages and Photoshop Elements when I’m working on screenshots for reviews–and the Focus On Window tool that reduces distractions by dimming the entire screen apart from the window or app that I’m currently using. Foundry There’s also a useful set of time-management tools, including a countdown timer, and a calendar countdown that counts the days until a specific date. A stop-watch, and the ability to create multiple alarms (which I find much simpler than Apple’s own Reminders app). Not all of these tools will seem essential. The tools for reading and creating barcodes will probably only appeal to a rather niche audience, while the tools for creating screenshots and screen recordings largely seem to reproduce the features that are already built into the macOS itself. In spite of a few things that could be added to the apps in order to improve them, I see this as a playground of interesting utilities that’s easy to play with, enjoy, and dive into. Yes, you can find Apple widgets within macOS and Web-based applications across the Internet that perform similar functions, but this is a well-consolidated library, and it’s fun to watch this grow and evolve over time. Verdict It’s a shame that a relatively modest piece of software such as Toolbox now requires an annual subscription, as that will probably deter quite a few potential users. I do find Toolbox useful–but I get it included with my copy of Parallels Desktop, so I don’t need to pay an additional subscription fee for it. And, incidentally, Parallels Desktop still provides an option to buy that as a one-time purchase without an annual subscription, so it’s disappointing that Toolbox itself is now subscription-only. And, of course, there are many utilities available from other developers that provide similar features. But at least you can download the free trial and see how useful Toolbox is for your own personal work set-up before buying.02:12 pmCybercriminals are using AI to target macOS in 2025

Macworld There have been ten generations of Apple Watch, each available in multiple screen sizes, connectivity options, case materials, and straps, ranging from a couple of hundred dollars to literally thousands. Anyone else remember the original $10k Apple Watch Edition? While not all are available to buy directly from Apple–right now the company sells only the Ultra 2, the Series 10, and the 2nd-gen SE released in 2022–it’s easy to buy older models from third-party retailers or, if you’d like to save a decent chunk of cash, consider a refurbished model. And refurbished is an option you really shouldn’t ignore. While you might scoff at the prospect of buying what is technically a second-hand watch, Apple’s refurbishing process is admirably rigorous. In fact, apart from the packaging, we don’t think you’d be able to tell the difference between an Apple Watch that the company is selling refurbished and one that’s brand new. Other retailers have their own refurbishment processes, which vary in rigor and reliability, but when you take the potential savings into consideration, buying a refurbished Apple Watch becomes a highly tempting option. In this article we break down everything you need to know about buying a refurbished Apple Watch from the Apple Refurbished Store or elsewhere to save some serious money. If you want to save some money on an Apple Watch, it’s also worth keeping an eye on our roundup of the best Apple Watch deals. You may also be able to find a deal that bundles an Apple Watch for free. Read How to get an Apple Watch for free for more information. Where to buy a refurbished Apple Watch Here are some of the leading resellers of refurbished Apple products, including the Apple Watch, in the U.S. Apple Refurb Store: Apple itself offers a range of refurbished Apple Watches, and in typical Apple fashion, the refurb is of the highest quality. Walmart: US shoppers can also find refurbished Apple Watches from Walmart. Keep in mind, it’s not directly from the retailer but from other sellers. The beauty is that if you run into trouble you can return the device at any Walmart location, and we’ve seen some very competitive prices from this retailer. eBay: An obvious choice, but be cautious. Check the vendor’s rating and feedback as well as the device’s condition. Amazon Renewed Store: We’ve seen some excellent deals on here, but stock of refurb Apple Watches seems to be running low lately. And check carefully for the condition: these details can sometimes be difficult to spot on the product page. U.K. readers should try the following refurbished sellers: Apple Refurb Store: Buyers in the past have remarked on the near-new quality of Apple Refurb products, albeit in plain white packaging. These may not be as cheap as the refurb units on offer elsewhere but the quality is exemplary and you can buy with peace of mind. musicMagpie: musicMagpie is one of the most reputable refurbished sellers. It often has sales that reduce prices further. Plus, it also accepts old tech, gadgets, and media (including books and CDs) which you can trade in for more money off. eBay: Check the vendor’s rating and feedback, and use the Condition dropdown tool to distinguish between new and various grades of refurbished. The iOutlet: The iOutlet is another reseller with great prices on refurbished devices, including several generations of the Apple Watch. You can also trade in other gadgets such as iPhones, iPads, and gaming consoles to earn cashback. Amazon Renewed Store: Another solid option for refurbished Apple Watch deals. Purchases are not only backed by Amazon’s standard returns policy, but the “Renewed Guarantee” as well, which lets you get a refund or replacement within 1 year of receiving your product. Envirofone: Known for its smartphone offers, this site has in the past offered a solid selection of older Apple Watches too. Stock seems to be running low lately, however, and it’s never been good for more recent units. Refurb-Phone: Has deals available on some surprisingly recent Apple Watch models. Laptops Direct: Despite the name, Laptops Direct also sells smartwatches. Select Condition > Refurbished in the lefthand filters column to see refurb offers only. What’s the difference between a new Apple Watch and a refurbished one? Technically speaking, Refurbished Apple products (by which we mean specifically products refurbished by Apple itself) are pre-owned, but with such a meticulous refurbishing process undertaken by the company, it’s unlikely you’ll even notice. It’s not necessarily the case that the product has been used for years on end: it could have been used by a journalist relatively briefly for review purposes, or it could have been returned by a customer who quickly decided on a different make or model. Even if it was returned for being faulty after a period of use, Apple rectifies any issues before selling the unit on, providing a product that’s essentially ‘as new.’ When you buy a refurbished Apple Watch directly from Apple, you’ll also get the same one-year warranty that you’d get when buying a brand-new Apple Watch, along with all the manuals and accessories that come with the smartwatch. The only noticeable difference is the packaging; refurbished Apple products come in a plain white box with no branding or imagery. We imagine this is something to do with stopping untrustworthy customers from buying a refurbished product and trying to resell it as new, but only Apple knows the real reasons why. Perhaps it’s just cheaper. Apple replaces the battery and case for every refurbished unit as standard, but it goes further than that. The company promises that all refurbished Apple Watches are in full working order, and each unit is thoroughly tested to guarantee this. Any parts that were defective when the Apple Watch was originally returned will have been replaced, and the Watch will have been thoroughly cleaned and inspected to make sure it holds up to Apple’s high standards. These don’t just apply to brand-new products. As with new Apple products, you’ve got the option of extending the warranty from one to two years by taking out AppleCare+ for your refurbished Watch. This provides two years’ worth of technical support, 24/7 access to Apple experts and hardware coverage for two accidents, although there’s an additional $69/£49 fee for repairs (or $79/£55 for Ultra models). Note once again, however, that the comments above refer to Apple’s refurbished store. Other sellers will deliver varying standards of quality and reliability, although most of the big names provide a similar standard to Apple. We think it’s certainly worth considering, as top-quality refurbished products can look as good as new and, packaging aside, your experience will be identical to that of a first-time buyer. It also offers better value for money than simply buying used or second-hand for one key reason: the battery will have been replaced. Battery replacements cost $99 from Apple U.S., or £95 from Apple U.K. That’s money you might as well put towards a good-quality refurbished model. Which refurbished Apple Watch should I buy? If you’re on the hunt for the latest Apple Watch Series 10, you likely won’t find any at the Apple Refurbished Store just yet, so you’ll have to go elsewhere. You’ll easily be able to find a refurbished Series 8 or 9, however, and we’ve started seeing refurb stock of the Ultra 2. If you can find the Apple Watch Series 7 from 2021 (right now it’s out of stock) the price should be excellent… but we wouldn’t go any older than that. You may be able to find a tempting-looking deal on the Series 6 or 5, but these models are quite a long way behind the current range in terms of features, screen size and so on. More importantly, the latter is no longer supported by Apple itself: you won’t be able to install new versions of watchOS. And the Series 6 is likely to meet the same fate in the next year or two. If you’re struggling to decide on which Apple Watch is best for your needs, we recommend taking a look at our Apple Watch buying guide, although that deals primarily with the current range. For comparisons with the older models, check out our extensive library of Apple Watch reviews, or go to Apple’s website and use the watch comparison tool. (Click Watch in the top bar, then Compare.) The Apple Watch Series 5 no longer receives new watchOS updates.Foundry Which Apple Watch models are available from Apple’s Refurbished Store? With an ever-evolving stock, it should come as no surprise that products available in Apple’s Refurbished Store change quite frequently. You’ll want to check back regularly if a particular model of Apple Watch isn’t available when you first look. At time of writing, the U.S. store has refurbished Apple Watch Series 9, 2nd-gen SE, and Ultra 2 models. (The store has a slot for the first-gen Ultra too, but it’s currently out of stock.) This may all change in the future as stock waxes and wanes. Those browsing the U.K. store can choose from the Apple Watch Series 8, Series 9, 2nd-gen SE, 1st-gen Ultra, and Ultra 2, and there’s a currently unused slot for the Series 7. As we say, don’t lose heart if the configuration you want isn’t there right now. You might get lucky in the future. How to choose a refurbished Apple Watch If the Apple Refurbished Store doesn’t have the model you’re after, you can try a third-party reseller. There are a few things to note before you hand over your cash, however. Unlike the situation with Apple’s refurbished devices, which will be virtually indistinguishable from new, third-party refurbished sellers tend to offer Apple Watches in a range of conditions. Some will use descriptive terms such as “pristine” and “good.” Others will go for Grade A, Grade B, and Grade C, like grades on a report card. A Grade A refurbished Apple Watch will be as close to new as possible. Any sign of wear will be so minimal, you probably won’t be able to tell. Unsurprisingly, Grade A refurbished devices will be more expensive. Grade B may show some signs of wear but these will be mostly minor. Finally, a Grade C refurbished Apple Watch will show obvious signs of wear like scratches or scuffs. Keep in mind, however, that these grades are only a rough indication of what to expect. There isn’t a standards body that oversees these grades–which means a Grade A (or pristine) from one reseller may be closer to a Grade B or good elsewhere. This is why it’s also important to look at all the individual return/warranty policies of the reseller before you part with your money. Most trusted refurbished sellers offer a one-year warranty on purchases, which means you can get a refund or free repair should you run into any trouble. Many retailers such as musicMagpie and 4Gadgets also offer 14-day money-back guarantees so you can return the device if you’re not totally happy. Best refurbished Apple Watch deals right now In this final section you can browse our automated price-comparison widgets for each model of Apple Watch. These check prices across thousands of retailers to bring you the best possible deal right now, and they include both new and, where available, refurbished options. When refurbished devices are on offer in your area, they will appear in a second tab in the table; if there’s no second tab, there are no refurbished deals. Needless to say, you’re far more likely to find refurb units when you’re looking at the older models, which you’ll find further down.

Macworld After Apple kickstarted the spatial computing era with the high-priced Vision Pro mixed-reality headset last year, it seemed to be a first step toward a future all-day wearable device. However, it turns out that might not be the case. A report by Mark Gurman at Bloomberg claims that Apple is moving in the other direction after canceling its most promising augmented reality glasses project after hitting several roadblocks and focusing instead on the next-gen Vision Pro headset. Apple’s got it completely backward: Apple should kill Vision Pro 2 and pour more resources into its smart glasses project. More is less I’m not undermining the Vision Pro’s advanced technology and capabilities. It’s objectively one of the highest-end consumer headsets on the market, featuring sharp displays, a dozen sensors, a slew of well-designed apps, and seamless integrations with the Apple ecosystem. Its $3,499 price tag, however, acts as the first hurdle barring mass adoption. Beyond its outrageous price tag, the Vision Pro is the first in its product line, and, naturally, it’s filled with imperfections and limitations. Reviewers almost unanimously agree that it is too heavy and causes neck discomfort with extended use. That’s not to mention its relatively short battery life and lack of outdoor use. visionOS is essentially an immersive iPadOS/macOS hybrid that runs in users’ fields of view. But, what if we don’t want all of these overpriced complexities? A pair of smart glasses would be a fantastic addition to the Apple ecosystem.Foundry Ray of light While Meta has long catered to gamers and VR enthusiasts with its Quest headset (that costs one-tenth of a Vision Pro), its $299 Ray-Ban glasses are a different animal. For one, they’re not much more expensive than a Meta-less pair of Ray-Bans, but more importantly, they’re not catered to a niche tech-first category of customers. First, to make its device appealing to wear, Meta collaborated with Ray-Ban—one of the most popular sunglasses brands. Sometimes people are embarrassed to wear nerdy accessories in public. So, having the Ray-Ban branding instantly takes away that stigma. Also Meta didn’t shoot for the moon like Apple did. Instead, Meta built in just a few useful perks to keep its glasses simple and cheap. The temple tips house discreet open-ear speakers for music streaming on the go, so you don’t need a separate pair of earbuds. It has a set of AirPods-like controls built right into the arms. But most importantly, the glasses feature a forward-facing camera instead of a screen, which offers a window into the world for Meta’s AI bot to analyze what it sees and report back. And it also lets wearers take quick photos and videos for direct posting to Instagram Stories. Unlike the Vision Pro, the IPX4-certified Ray-Ban Meta are meant to be used away from home. So, users can put them on like any regular pair of sunglasses, which is great for family picnics, concerts, and influencers. Help wanted It’s clear that Apple is currently focused on the flagship headset line, as the Vision Pro’s successor could launch as soon as next year. In my opinion, Apple shouldn’t kill the glasses project but should leverage its own ecosystem advantage to create lightweight spectacles that rely on other devices to do the heavy lifting. A pair of Apple smart glasses could take some cues from the AirPods.Foundry The AirPods, for example, can announce notifications. Similarly, the Apple Watch packs exclusive perks unavailable to rivaling smartwatch brands, such as auto Mac unlock. So, Apple is in a position to create the best smart glasses for iOS users, as no other manufacturer has access to the underlying ecosystem infrastructure. Plus there are plenty of people who just don’t trust Meta. A pair of Apple glasses doesn’t need to have a Vision Pro-like interface. Like the early Apple Watches, they could piggyback on a paired iPhone’s processor and internet connection to offer some handy shortcuts. Like the AirPods, they could handle Siri requests, announce notifications, and accept calls. And with an embedded camera, Apple’s new Visual Intelligence feature could come alive. The smart glasses would transmit what they see to the connected iPhone, which would then analyze the content with ChatGPT and send the response back to the shades. Other potential features could include snapping quick shots and clips that users can view in the iPhone’s Photos app. It could also integrate with FaceTime, letting the caller enjoy the scenic route you’re taking while you talk. The possibilities are endless even without incorporating any of the current Vision Pro features. Vision Pro is too advanced to shrink down to a pair of glasses.Thiago Trevisan/Foundry Short-sighted Vision By putting the Apple Glasses on the back burner, the company is missing the smart glasses train. Meta is actively developing more advanced iterations of the Ray-Bans, while Apple seemingly has no plans to announce a competitor anytime soon. By the time the Apple glasses potentially debut, they’re going to have tremendous competition, and with Apple insisting on high-end features, it could be years before anything comes to market. Even if the Vision Pro 2 addresses most of its predecessor’s shortcomings, which is unlikely, it’s clear that the general public isn’t interested in this form factor. So, maybe Apple should study what’s actually working instead of trying to repair what’s inherently broken.11:05 amSMS Delivery Delays to Glo in Nigeria

Opera has announced Opera Air, a new web browser that integrates mindfulness and wellness features directly into the browsing experience. The browser aims to help users manage stress and maintain focus while navigating the internet. The Norwegian browser maker has incorporated several science-backed wellness tools into Opera Air, including breathing exercises, meditation sessions, and binaural beats. Users can access these features through two main functions: "Take a Break" and "Boosts." The "Take a Break" feature offers guided exercises ranging from 3 to 15 minutes, including breathing exercises, meditation, and full body scans. Users can set reminders to take mindful breaks throughout their browsing sessions. Opera Air's "Boosts" feature takes advantage of binaural beats technology, which plays slightly different frequencies in each ear to influence brainwave activity. Users can choose from various preset options like "Creativity Boost," "Energized Focus," and "Deep Relaxation." The feature also allows customization of volume levels, nature sounds, and background music, with sessions lasting from 15 minutes to unlimited duration. Opera says the browser is designed to maintain its core functionality while introducing these wellness features in a non-disruptive way. Users can continue browsing or working while using features like the "Focused Calm" boost, which uses Alpha 8Hz beats combined with nature sounds to promote concentration. To aid the sense of a calmer browsing environment, Opera Air also features a minimalist Scandinavian design with a frosted glass user interface. Opera Air is available to download today from the company's website.Tag: Opera BrowserThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums10:30 amApple rolls out mysterious iOS 18.3 update for iPhone 11 only
Macworld While iOS 18.3 was not as momentous as some of Apple’s previous x.3 iPhone updates, it brought a number of significant changes, mostly affecting Apple Intelligence. Now, however, the company has released another version of iOS 18.3 focused on a group of devices that don’t support its AI platform. As reported by MacRumors, an update with build number 22D64–as distinct from 22D63, which rolled out last week–has been released for iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max only. Those aren’t the oldest devices that can run iOS 18 (that title is held by the iPhone XS and XR) but they’re close to the bottom of the list and could miss out when iOS 19 is announced this summer. With their A13 chips they aren’t remotely close to meeting Apple Intelligence’s hardware requirements: an A17 or later found in the iPhone 15 Pro, Pro Max and the iPhone 16 range. Apple hasn’t released a special version of iOS 18.3 for iPhone 12, 13, 14, or 15 handsets, or for that matter the XS and XR, suggesting that this update is addressing specific flaws in the iPhone 11. It seems counterintuitive that the iPhone 11 would need iOS 18.3 at all, but the update does contain some new features that aren’t related to Apple Intelligence. Of the five features we picked out as noteworthy, for example, there is one for the Calculator app, restoring a pre-iOS 18 ability to continually tap the equals sign in order to repeat the last operation. And the Home app gains support for HomeKit- and Matter-compatible robot vacuums. The focus of the update, however, is more likely to be bug fixes. We already know of two fixes in the general iOS 18.3 release: one tackles an Apple Music problem that caused songs to complete playback even if you closed the app, while another deals with the keyboard disappearing when typing a Siri request. But 22D64 is likely to contain a patch for a bug specific to the late-2019 handsets. To install the update, which we would recommend, you should open the Settings app on your iPhone and go to General > Software Update and follow the instructions. Read our iOS 18 superguide for more information about the latest iPhone software.10:30 amApple is doomed because it can’t see the future
Macworld More bad news for people who get attached to rumored Apple products as Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that the company has canceled one of its headset projects: Apple Scraps Work on Mac-Connected Augmented Reality Glasses. Quick side note: if you do find yourself becoming attached to a rumored Apple product, that’s probably a good time to close the laptop and go outside and stare at a tree or something for a while. Pet a dog. Do whatever it is people do with cats. Getting attached to rumored Apple product lines is not healthy. This now dead as a doornail one is, of course, not the Vision Pro but a potential new type of glasses that Gurman reported on last year. This project apparently went from “Maybe if we offload the processing to an iPhone.” to “Oof. That’s not gonna work. How about offloading it to a Mac?” to “AR glasses you can wear while sitting at a desk? Why are we doing this again?” to canceled. Hey, it happens. Just the other day the Macalope was thinking of going out for a nice lunch. Then time got away from him and he thought maybe he’d make a nice lunch at home. Then he ended up eating Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups at his desk. That’s pretty much the same thing. The Macalope will not be taking questions. Gizmodo’s take on this turn of events is the most pointing and LOL-ing the Macalope’s seen. Here’s their subhead: Apple is lacking vision for where to go following the Vision Pro tanking. Gizmodo, January 31, 2025 Get it? Because Vision. Yeah, you got it. Copy editors are such scamps. The first part seems fairly true, based on the available rumors at least. Apple’s current status with its Vision efforts seems positively Titan-esque, which ain’t great. But did the Vision Pro “tank”? Apple certainly didn’t sell a lot of them, that’s for sure, but it’s questionable whether or not it sold fewer than it really expected. And if you’re comparing it to other Apple product lines, it’s worth remembering that you’re comparing it to some of the most successful consumer electronics products ever. By ditching the augmented reality glasses, Apple is tacitly admitting that it just cannot crack the VR/AR space. Gizmodo, January 31, 2025 That, however, is not exactly what Mark Gurman’s piece said. Despite the project being shuttered, Apple is still working on underlying technologies that could be used in AR glasses down the road, including custom microLED-type screens, Bloomberg News reported this week. Bloomberg, January 31, 2025 So much of Apple’s analysis relies on reporting done by Mark Gurman. It seems to the Macalope that if you’re going to use Gurman’s work as the basis for your views, you should use all of it instead of just the parts that support your thesis. He knows it’s less fun that way. Also, while Apple is ditching the offloading glasses, it has not ditched the Vision Pro itself. It’s still in there swinging. Maybe not connecting a lot, but still swinging. IDG To Gizmodo’s point, it really isn’t at all clear that Apple has a viable development path for the Vision line. While you could probably have said that about the Apple Watch back in 2015, too, those two products aren’t exactly comparable. One is priced at a consumer level and the other is priced more at an “I have a backup yacht” level. Of course, you’re gonna wanna keep the Vision Pro on the main yacht, just in case you want to show it to another of your yacht friends. Who probably also have their own Vision Pros. So maybe do keep it on your backup yacht? Honestly, the Macalope doesn’t really know how yacht provisioning works. The Macalope’s been wrong before but he doesn’t believe for a minute that Apple is done with AR/VR headsets. While the Vision Pro isn’t a sales hit, there is definitely enough neat technology there that can be steered into a product that might one day be a hit. It doesn’t seem like it’s going to be real soon, however.10:23 amCall history Access needed

WhatsApp is working on expanding its group chat event planning feature to private chats, according to new changes found in the latest beta version (via WABetaInfo). Currently, WhatsApp allows you to create events from group chats to help organize gatherings and stay connected. Hosted events can be given a name, date, and time, also with a description, location, call link, and end time. Only people in the group chat can be invited. WhatsApp's plan to bring events to private chats should see all of these event planning features become available in one-on-one conversations. It's another step towards Meta's goal of keeping users in the app for longer, instead of having to switch to calendars or other apps to organize meetings, set reminders, and coordinate appointments. Notably, Apple is said to be on the verge of launching its own iCloud-based event planning app called "Confetti." The service will reportedly offer users a "new way to invite people to parties, functions, and meetings," compared to the current simplistic way of creating events in Apple's Calendar app. Meanwhile, WhatsApp is also testing the ability to let users open View Once media on linked devices. Currently, a disappearing image or video can only be viewed on a user account's main registered device, so the change should make the feature more useful for those with more than one device. On that note, WhatsApp recently released an update for iOS devices to patch a significant privacy vulnerability that affected its "View Once" feature. The bug allowed users to access photos and videos that were meant to disappear after a single viewing. Given the privacy implications, make sure you're running the latest version of the app from the App Store to ensure any View Once media remains ephemeral as intended.Tag: WhatsAppThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums10:15 amApple makes Swift Build available as open-source, posts developer files to GitHub

Macworld Is your Mac’s performance not as good as it once was? Wondering if there might be a problem with your software or if one of the components has failed? Or perhaps it’s your web connection that’s bothering you, but you aren’t sure if it’s just that your broadband connection is really poor, or if there’s something else going on with your Mac. We share plenty of advice on how to update your Mac, and speed up a slow Mac, but how do you tell if there is really a problem with your Mac rather than you just being inpatient with it? One way to get an idea of how well your Mac is working is to run benchmarks and a set of performance tests on your MacBook or Mac desktop. Several benchmarking apps will help you find out how fast your Mac is, you can test your GPU and your CPU as well as your Wi-Fi internet speed and even ethernet speed. In this article we’ll run through the best Mac performance test apps, including some free options you can find online. If you are thinking of buying a new Mac, running benchmarks on your current machine and then comparing them to our benchmarks of the newer models we’ve reviewed will give you an idea of the kind of boost you can expect. (Check our Mac reviews section for the latest Mac benchmarks.) In this article, we’ll recommend the variety of (usually free) apps we use to evaluate a Mac’s performance (and more specifically, the performance of its components) in a range of scenarios. Carry on reading to find out how to benchmark the CPU, GPU, hard drive, and more, of your Mac desktop or laptop. How to run Mac speed tests Want to find out how fast your Mac is (and confirm your belief that it’s been slowing down)? You can run various tests to find out your processor speed, which would give you an insight into how powerful your Mac is. We also recommend checking the speed of your SSD–or hard drive, if you Mac is older. Before running any of the tests below, we recommend closing any apps on your Mac as they might affect how well the machine performs. Restarting to make sure that any RAM is freed up is also advisable. How to benchmark your Mac’s CPU To check your processor speed we recommend Geekbench from Primate Labs. Geekbench is free to use and you can get it on the Mac App Store here. You can also download it from Primate Labs website here. Geekbench 6 (updated from Geekbench 5 in February 2023) is the most popular tool for gauging how powerful the latest processors are, and because it works for Macs and PCs, as well as iOS and Android you can get a good idea of how your processor compares to another. It is our go-to benchmark tool when reviewing the latest Macs, iPhones and iPads here at Macworld. Geekbench’s CPU test runs through various tests to stress the CPU and then calculates an overall score–the higher the better. Tests include file compression, rendering web pages and PDFs, running developer scripts, and doing machine-learning tasks like object detection and background blur. Running these tests could be useful if you think something is wrong with your Mac; you can compare the score to similar Macs and processors. You can view recent Geekbench scores for various Mac processors here. Foundry How to benchmark your CPU with Geekbench The main draw of Geekbench is that it’s incredibly easy to use and requires little technical knowledge. Here’s how to use it: Download the app from the Mac App Store here or Primate Labs website here. We recommend that you restart your Mac before running the test. Close any other apps that are running on your Mac. Open Geekbench. You’ll see a Welcome to Geekbench message and a request to Upgrade or Enter License. You don’t need to do either of these things. Just click on Later. Click Run CPU benchmark. Foundry Geekbench will then measure the performance of your CPU when performing “everyday tasks designed to simulate real-world applications” and can take 10 minutes or more to complete, depending on the speed of your CPU. Once it’s done, the results will be displayed. You might initially be overwhelmed by all the information on offer, from the Processor ID to the Motherboard hardware, but the only two numbers you need to concentrate on are at the top: single-core score and multi-core score. The single-core score helps give a sense of how fast the Mac performs under certain situations when only a single processing core is handling everything. Many applications have their performance limited by a single main thread, so single-core CPU performance will determine how fast they run. Other applications are designed to be multi-threaded so that lots of processes can run at the same time. The multi-core results show you how well your Mac can perform when pushed to its absolute limits, as it’ll use multiple processing cores at once to handle the strain. Think of it as your Mac’s top-end performance. You can take these results and compare them to other benchmark tests on the Geekbench Browser, allowing you to see how your Mac compares to the latest generation of Macs, and even its competitors from other manufacturers. It should give you an idea of how well your computer is performing at the moment, and whether the upgrade you’re considering is worth it in terms of raw processing power. Foundry How to check your Mac’s disk speed One way we used to check how fast the storage inside our Mac was used to be to copy and paste a 4GB folder and then time how long it took to duplicate. That is no longer an effective measure because, since Apple introduced APFS (Apple File System) the folder is no longer duplicated, all you are really doing is creating an alias to the original file. Therefore the only way to really make a judgment about the speed of the storage inside your Mac is to use a tool such as the Blackmagic Disk Speed Test (free from the Mac App Store here), or the AJA System Test Lite (free from the Mac App Store here) to measure the read/write speeds of your hard drive or SSD. How to benchmark your SSD with Blackmagic Disk Speed Test The free Blackmagic Disk Speed Test was designed for video editors to help determine whether their hard drives can handle large files. If you’re not a video editor, don’t fret. the data is still very helpful to gauge performance. Download Blackmagic Disk Speed Test. We recommend that you restart your Mac before running the test. Open the app. For improved accuracy, and as with all other benchmark tests, it’s best to make sure that no other apps are running. Select your target drive if your Mac has more than one hard drive (this is done by clicking the gear cog) and click start to begin the benchmark. While there’s a bunch of data showcased in the Will it Work? and How Fast? charts, that’s mainly for video editors. The numbers you want to focus on are displayed in the big gauges at the top. The write speed is on the left and the read speed on the right, giving you an idea of how fast things will be written to the drive and how fast apps and files will load respectively. Blackmagic Disk Speed works by running a write test and the Write gauge will eventually stop with a result. Then, it will do the same with a Read test. Then, it starts the process over again with a test of a different file size and will continue to go back and forth between tests until you click the Stop button. You can record any results you see while the gauge is stopped. You’ll find that the results between test iterations are similar. How to check GPU performance on Mac Finally, let’s talk about graphical performance. For this, we usually opt for two main benchmark tools: Geekbench’s Compute tests and Maxon’s Cinebench. How to use Cinebench to benchmark your Mac’s GPU Cinebench 2024, which you can download here, is another free piece of software that, in addition to testing your Mac’s CPU (much like Geekbench without the ability to compare with other results online), will use an OpenGL and Metal test to benchmark your graphics card. Cinebench tests the CPU and/or GPU by creating a 3D engine with Maxon’s Redshift render engine. On M3 and later MAcs, Cinebench supports the GPU-accelerated Metal RT hardware ray tracing. After the tests have run you’ll see the frames per second (fps) result and a score, with the higher the result the better. You’ll see some of the best results following the test, but Maxon doesn’t have an easy-to-search database for different models like Geekbench does. Maxon To perform the test, install the app (It’s called Cinebench R24), open it, and click Start next to the GPU test in the top-left corner of the app. It’ll take you through the test, and your final result will be displayed next to the Start button. A test can take 10 minutes or longer. How to use Geekbench to benchmark your Mac’s GPU Geekbench doesn’t measure 3D graphics rendering performance like the Cinebench test above. Instead, it uses the GPU to handle computational tasks like edge detection on images, applying a gaussian blur to a 24-megapixel photo, or detecting faces in photos. That is how it measures GPU Compute tasks. For that reason we would suggest that if you want to measure 3D graphics performance you are better off using Cinebench (above). Geeknech Compute is a good general-purpose GPU benchmark. To measure the GPU using Geekbench download the app from the Mac App Store here or Primate Labs website here. We recommend that you restart your Mac before running the test. Close any other apps that are running on your Mac. Open Geekbench. You’ll see a Welcome to Geekbench message and a request to Upgrade or Enter License. You don’t need to do either of these things. Just click on Later. Click on Compute in the sidebar on the left. Choose between OpenCL or Metal in the GPU API section. On a Mac, Metal is the most important score; on iPhones and iPads, the only supported API is Metal. Click Run GPU Benchmark. Having benchmarked your Mac you will have a better idea of whether it is performing as well as should be expected, or if there might be something wrong. Our first suggestion would be to update your software, but if your Mac is just suffering from old age and you decide to look for a new Mac, take a look at our Mac buying guide and be sure to check out the best prices for a new Mac in our various Mac deals round ups: Best Mac mini deals this month Best MacBook Air deals this month Best Mac Studio deals available now Best MacBook Pro deals this month Best iMac deals this month08:00 amBurned through all the content on Apple TV?

A US District Court judge denied Apple's emergency request to halt the Google Search monopoly trial, ruling that Apple failed to show sufficient grounds for a stay. The Verge reports: Apple said last week that it needs to be involved in the Google trial because it does not want to lose "the ability to defend its right to reach other arrangements with Google that could benefit millions of users and Apple's entitlement to compensation for distributing Google search to its users." The remedies phase of the trial is set for April, and lawyers for the Department of Justice have argued that Google should be forced to sell Chrome, with a possibility of spinning off Android if necessary. While Google will still appeal the decision, the company's proposed remedies focus on undoing its licensing deals that bundle apps and services together. "Because Apple has not satisfied the 'stringent requirements' for obtaining the 'extraordinary relief' of a stay pending appeal, its motion is denied," states Judge Mehta's order. Mehta explains that Apple "has not established a likelihood of success on the merits" for the stay. That includes a lack of clear evidence on how Apple will suffer "certain and great" harm.

Sunday marked the one-year anniversary of the Apple Vision Pro launch, which means Apple's $3,500 AR/VR headset has now been available to consumers for a full 365 days. Over the course of the last year, we've seen numerous reports suggesting that the Vision Pro isn't selling well, which is not a surprise given its high price point. Apple CEO Tim Cook described the Vision Pro as an "early-adopter product" for people who want to have tomorrow's technology today," and the most recent rumors suggest that it might be out of production already. In October, The Information said that Apple was winding down production of the Vision Pro, with plans to stop making it at the end of 2024. Apple has enough supply to meet demand for now, because Apple apparently plans to make a new version of the Vision Pro as soon as this year. Apple didn't quite know how the Vision Pro would be received, and its work on a subsequent model seems to be shifting regularly. For that reason, we've heard a lot of mixed rumors about what's next, but we do have some idea of what might be on the horizon. Vision Pro 2 We started off with rumors about a second-generation Vision Pro, but work on the next-generation headset with a more advanced feature set has apparently been paused so that Apple can work on a more affordable version first. A Minor Update It doesn't sound like we're going to get a Vision Pro 2 this year, or at least not a next-generation model with notable improvements, but there could be an incremental update. Both Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and Bloomberg's Mark Gurman believe that Apple is working on a refresh that includes Apple's upcoming M5 chip, an improvement over the M2 chip in the current model. With the M5 chip, Apple might bring Apple Intelligence features to the Vision Pro, including a more advanced version of Siri. Right now, Apple Intelligence is limited to the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. No other major design changes or feature upgrades are expected for this device, and it will reuse many of the components from the first-generation model to use up any surplus inventory that Apple has. It's not really clear how the M5 chip might change the Vision Pro experience, and a chip upgrade likely isn't going to spur current Vision Pro owners to buy another headset. There is a possibility that the next Vision Pro could have 5G connectivity with Apple's in-house modem chip, but that is something that the company could also hold for a second-generation model rather than an incremental update. Low-Cost Model? Apple wants to make a more affordable version of the Vision Pro that's priced similarly to a high-end iPhone, but it will take some time. Kuo doesn't expect this lower-cost model until 2027 at the earliest, and it could take even longer. Apple is struggling to cut costs because it doesn't want to compromise the display components. Apple could use a less powerful processor and cheaper materials than aluminum and glass, and it could cut features like the EyeSight display that shows the wearer's eyes. Rumors suggest that Apple is looking at OLED panels that are up to 2.1 inches in size with a display density of around 1,700 pixels per inch. The Vision Pro has a 1.42-inch display with a ~3,400 pixel density per inch. Apple Glasses Apple was developing lightweight augmented reality smart glasses that would be powered by the Mac, but the project was abandoned in January. The glasses would have been the size of standard glasses, with projectors built in to display images to the wearer, but the Mac connection was a dealbreaker. Apple still hopes to introduce augmented reality glasses one day, but it looks like the company will wait until technology has advanced enough that the glasses won't need to rely on another device for power and battery.Related Roundup: Apple Vision ProBuyer's Guide: Vision Pro (Buy Now)Related Forum: Apple Vision ProThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums10:53 pmApple explains how to stop your MacBook from booting up every time you open it

Macworld Storage shortage is a reality for many iPhone owners: whether the culprit is apps, music, Messages or (most commonly) photos and videos, most of us have run out of space at a key moment. Perhaps just as you are trying to update the operating system, or as you were trying to install a hot new app. Unfortunately, you can’t upgrade an iPhone’s internal storage. But all is not lost. We have a few tips for managing and optimizing the storage available on your iPhone, getting the most out of every last gigabyte and freeing up space for new apps and photos. As an aside, please note that even though you can’t upgrade the internal storage, you can supplement an iPhone’s capacity with external storage accessories and you can use iCloud storage to extend your capacity to 2TB and beyond. PROMOTIONEaseUS MobiMover | Transfer iPhone data and free up space EaseUS MobiMover is a free iPhone transfer software to figure out what’s taking up the most space on your iPhone/iPad, backup and move iPhone data to a computer or new iPhone/iPad, clear the clutters to solve iPhone storage running low problems and get a less overloaded, more organized iPhone/iPad. Now 25% OFF Exclusive Code: MACWORLD25 MOBIMOVER FOR MACMobiMover for Windows 1. Find out what is taking up space and delete the biggest culprits Foundry The first thing to do is find out what is taking up the space on your iPhone. Luckily there is a simple way to do this. Open Settings. Go to General. Tap on iPhone Storage. This will take you to a screen where you can see what is taking up the space on your iPhone. You’ll need to be patient while it calculates how much storage is being used and by what. Eventually, you will see a bar chart divided up into Photos, Apps, Messages, iOS, System Data, and other types of files. System Data (which used to be called Other in older versions of iOS) can often run to tens of GB of storage, leaving many to wonder how to delete Other or System Data on an iPhone. Scroll down to see which of your apps are taking up the most space. In images above you can see Photos is using more than 49GB, Messages nearly 20GB. There are ways to manage these apps and how much they store that we will discuss below. If you scroll through the various apps taking up space (they are sorted so that the largest are at the top) you will be able to quickly locate the ones that are worth removing. The figures include any media stored in the app, so expect your Photos, Music, and Messaging apps to be near the top. This view also shows when you last used an app, so you can confidently delete an app you probably won’t use any time soon. Don’t worry, once you’ve bought something it’s tied to your Apple ID so Apple knows you own it and you’ll be able to download it again. Scroll through the list and be ruthless. If an app you rarely use is taking up 300MB of space then delete it. You can always download it again for free if you want to. Find an app you want to delete. Swipe from right to left on it. Choose Delete App. Alternatively, you could choose Offload App, which will delete the app but keep any documents and data so that if you download it again you can access the data you had in it. There’s another way to delete apps that we will discuss next. Once an app has been deleted you will see it in this list with a download icon beside it, so this is a good place to go if you ever want to re-download something. 2. Delete apps from the Home screen Foundry There is another way to delete apps that might be slightly quicker if you just want to free up some space in a hurry. You can delete an app from the Home screen, including the App Library. How this works depends on the version of iOS you are using. In the most recent iOS versions, press and hold on an icon until the menu comes up. Then tap Remove App. You’ll then see a window pop up to confirm you want to delete the app. Choose Delete App to remove it from your iPhone. On older versions of iOS you could tap and hold on its icon and wait for it (and the other icons too) to start jiggling about – this means you’re in Edit Mode. Then tap on the X in the left corner to delete the app. You can still hold your finger down until you’re in Edit model and tap the (-) in the corner of the app icon to delete it, if you wish. There is more advice about deleting apps here: How to delete apps on iPhone & iPad. 3. Work through Apple’s recommendations Foundry When you’re in Settings > General > iPhone Storage, you’ll see some recommendations for optimizing your storage. You will probably see two, as well as an option to Show All so you can see more recommendations. The reason why we didn’t start with this is that, although a great way to manage storage in the future, it’s not the quickest way to recover a bit of storage in a hurry. However, it will stand you in good stead if you take Apple’s advice and put the various storage management suggestions into play. One option you will see here (if you haven’t already set it up) is to use iCloud Photo Library. This will store your photos and videos in the cloud. iCloud Photo Library is a great solution if you want to have access to all your photos on all your devices, just make sure that Apple stores optimized versions of the photos on your device, rather than full res versions. Another option is to Auto Delete Old Conversations from the Messages app. We haven’t done this primarily because we don’t want to lose access to old messages from people long gone, but it’s a great way to reduce the amount of storage given to messages. Because of the images and videos stored in Messages, this can often free up several gigabytes. In a similar vein, the Review Large Attachments allows you to delete photos, videos and other media shared in attachments. So if you have a habit of sharing images via Messages expect to find lots of photos or videos here which you can delete if you know you have them in your Photos app. You could also choose to Review Downloaded Videos. If it’s an option for you tap on the arrow beside it and delete any downloads you see here that you don’t need to keep. Tap Edit > Tap the red circle beside the program you want to delete > Tap Delete. You may also see the to Offload Unused Apps. Here Apple volunteers to automatically offload apps that are rarely used when you start to run out of storage. ‘Offloading’ deletes the app itself, which is easy to replace by redownloading. But it keeps the documents and data, which are likely to be irreplaceable. You can also find the option to Offload Unused Apps under Settings > App Store. Make sure that Automatic app downloads is not selected here, so that apps don’e automatically download when you add them to other devices. iOS will tell you how much storage you stand to gain from enabling these suggestions. 4. Delete app data and cache Foundry Apple offers to remove the app while preserving the data, but perhaps it’s the data you want to delete. Maybe you have old videos and books you no longer plan to watch taking up space in an app you still want to use. Some apps will have a lot of data associated with them that you could delete without having to remove the app itself. To look deeper into the storage being taken up by apps, return to Settings > General > iPhone Storage and click on the arrow beside one of the apps listed there. This way you can see how much data is used by the app itself, and how much additional space is being used by documents and data. Video apps tend to be a big culprit here, but the Review Downloaded Videos above should have solved that for you. Another place to look is your video editing apps, and book reading apps like Kindle and Books. To delete the data you will need to go to the app itself. We’ll walk through how to delete data from a number of apps below, including Books, Notes, and Messages. Other places to look include: Google Maps: Tap your profile and select “Offline Maps” to see if there’s any map data you don’t need to store locally. Prime Video/Netflix/Disney+ etc: Open the app and view your downloads. You should be able to select the ones you wish to delete. Another way to free up space is to clear your browser cache. To delete Safari cache follow these steps: Open Settings. Scroll down and click on Safari. Click on Clear History and Website Data. If you use Chrome you have to remove the cache from inside Chrome. In that case, follow these steps: Open Chrome. Tap on Options. Tap Settings. Tap Privacy. Now tap on Clear Browser Data. Select what you want to delete. Tap Clear Browsing Data. 5. Delete text messages Foundry As we mentioned above, you could choose to auto-delete conversations from the Messages app, which would free up a lot of space. But you might not want to do that if you have messages you want to keep for sentimental reasons. You can still delete, en masse, a lot of the Messages on your phone while keeping the ones you don’t want to lose. Swipe from right to left on any message that you want to delete. Choose Delete. A better way to filter out messages that are safe to delete and then mass delete them is to filter your messages by Unknown Senders. Tap Filters in the upper left of the main Messages screen. Tap on Unknown Senders. Once in the Unknown Senders view tap on the three dots at the top. Choose Select Messages. Tap on Select all. Double-check that you aren’t deleting anything you might need. Deselect those messages. Tap Delete. If you don’t have any reason to keep messages you have two choices. You can delete messages over a year old or you can delete messages that are just 30 days old. To do this follow these steps: Open Settings. Scroll to Messages and tap. Scroll to Message History and tap on Keep Messages. Now choose between 30 days, 1 Year, and Forever. 6. Delete photos you don’t need Foundry If your photos are taking up a considerable amount of space on your iPhone you might want to consider deleting a few of the ones that you have no desire to keep. Perhaps, like us, you often take screenshots of train times when you are commuting. If you want to delete screenshots from your phone you can do so really easily by opening the Photos app and, under Media Types, look for Screenshots. In there, you can find the screenshots you no longer want to keep and delete them. Or you take a ton of photos just to get the perfect shot. There is no need to keep these shots. We try to get into the habit of deleting these extra shots close to the time we take them, or at least favoriting one of the collections so we can easily go back and delete lots at a later date. (If you’re not in this sensible habit, a free app may be able to help. See How to delete duplicate photos on iPhone.) We’ve tried a free option called Remo Duplicate Photos Remover, but there are plenty more you can try such as the paid-for Duplicate Photos Fixer. In the Utilities category there is a Duplicates folder. If you select it, you can see all your identical photos and choose which to merge into a single photo. Similarly, if you’ve been using Burst Mode you may have hundreds of near-identical images you really don’t need taking up space on your iPhone. To remove extra shots from Burst Mode find the Bursts folder under Media Types, and remove all the unwanted images. 7. Delete images from Messages Foundry Another way to save a ton of space on your iPhone is to delete images that have been shared via Messages. Again you might have images here you want to keep for sentimental reasons, so beware. This is a good option if you don’t want to mass delete a lot of images, as you can free up space by just deleting the space-hogging images or videos associated with iMessages. Open a conversation. Tap and hold an image within the thread. You’ll see a menu below the image. Tap More, and you’ll see little circles next to each message and image. (The one you tapped and held will have this pre-ticked.) You can now select as many images (or other files) as you wish, then tap the bin icon at the bottom left to delete them. If there are likely to be a few images you want to delete you might want to go straight to the images library associated with that message. To do this follow these steps: Click on the name or group at the top of the message. Now scroll down the page to the Photos section. Tap on See All. Now tap Select. You can tap on any images you want to delete now. Once they are deleted tap on Delete. You can also show just Screenshots, which might help you filter out the things you are most likely to want to delete. Unfortunately, you can’t select all here though. 8. Beware of iCloud Photos Foundry Signing up for iCloud Photos can save you a lot of space if you have gigabytes and gigabytes of photos, reducing the space they take up on your iPhone to something much less greedy, so it’s definitely worth turning this one on. However, a lot of people have a misunderstanding of what iCloud Photos will do for them. It’s a useful service that lets you automatically upload and store your entire photo library in iCloud so you can access photos and videos on all your devices. iCloud Photo is not a way to back up the images on your iPhone so you can delete them from your iPhone. If you were looking for a way to back up your photos so you could delete them iCloud Photos is not it. You cannot delete the images from your iPhone once they are in iCloud because deleting any image will delete it from all your devices. We have a separate article on backing up your Apple photo library and we recommend you read that for tips if that’s what you want to do. We also explain How to move photos to iCloud to save space on an iPhone in another article. If you do use iCloud Photos you also need to make sure you choose Optimize iPhone Storage to ensure that if you lack space your iPhone will only keep small versions of images on the device, thereby saving space. Alternatively, you could select Download and Keep Originals, but that would take a lot of space up! 9. The movie rental trick Foundry This tip can create space on your iPhone (from 1/2MB to over 1GB sometimes) using magic. Not really, but we’re not quite sure how it’s done, only that it works if your iPhone is almost at maximum capacity. And no, your iPhone doesn’t need to be jailbroken, nor does it void the warranty. Before we begin, head to Settings > General > About and make a note of how much storage you have. Then, head to the TV app and find a large title – we recommend The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers at a whopping 6.83GB. Once you’ve found a suitable movie, tap the Rent button twice (don’t worry, you won’t actually end up renting it) and dismiss the popup informing you that there’s not enough space to download the movie. Now, head back to the About section of the Settings menu and take a look at your available storage. If all has gone well, you should see a difference of a few hundred megabytes, possibly more. While it won’t work for everybody, users on Reddit report that following the steps several times allowed them to keep freeing up more storage. We’re not quite sure what Apple is deleting when it does this, as it’s not apps, photos or other important data. We assume it’ll be clearing out caches and other areas that make up the “Other” section on your iOS storage breakdown. 10. Sign up for iTunes Match or Apple Music Foundry You don’t have to store every Music track you could ever possibly need to listen to on your iPhone. If you sign up for iTunes Match (for $24.99/£21.99 a year) or Apple Music ($10.99/£10.99 a month) and you will then have every track you own available to you via the cloud. Therefore you can delete your music from your iPhone knowing that every song you may wish to listen to is but a download away. Here’s how to sign up for iTunes Match and here’s our guide to Apple Music. Once you have signed up for either of these Apple’s services, all your music on all your Apple devices will be uploaded to iCloud (even tracks you have imported from CD). This means you can download any track you fancy listening to on your iPhone whenever the mood takes you. You can download a track or a whole album, or a whole playlist. Just click on the iCloud download icon beside the title. If you then want to delete the track from your iPhone, just swipe left on it, to delete. It will still be available to download from iCloud another time. 11. Remove Books you’re not reading Foundry Have you got any iBooks downloaded on your iPhone? Do you need them to be there? If you delete them they will still be available in iCloud to download again, so why not save yourself a few MB by removing the novel you’re reading on your iPad from your iPhone. Our Books app is 35.5MB, but carries 1.65GB of data. Using the Books example, to delete the data you need to open the Books app. Open Books. Go to Library. Tap on Edit. Look through the books on your device – any that aren’t currently stored on the iPhone will have a cloud logo beside them. Now tap on any book you wish to remove from your device. Then tap on the Trash in the bottom left to delete it. Tap on Remove Downloads to remove it from your device. You can choose to Delete This Copy, rather than delete it from all your devices. Also, check Settings > Books and make sure you deselect Automatic Downloads so that when you buy a book on another device it doesn’t automatically download to your iPhone too. 12. Record video at a lower resolution Foundry Newer iPhones offer you the option to reduce the quality of the videos you record. As the screenshot shows, a minute of video can take up 400MB of space on your iPhone if you record it at 4K, so you probably won’t want to be doing that. The iPhone should default to 1080p HD at 60 fps, but you could economize further by recording at 720p HD and 30fps: just 40MB for a minute, rather than 90MB. You can change the settings in Settings > Camera > Record Video. 13. Check your other photo-editing apps Foundry There are photo-editing features in Photos, but you may use separate apps for photo editing. Those apps could have some old images lurking within that you could delete. Check apps like Instagram, Snapchat and the like for images stored in the app itself. 14. Spring-clean your Notes Foundry If you use your iPhone’s Notes app fairly heavily you may be wondering how much space you could save by deleting old notes. To see how much storage the app is taking up, go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage, then find and tap on the entry for Notes. This will show separate entries for the app itself (a paltry 12MB) and the documents and data it holds (a slightly less paltry 64.2MB, in our case). To be honest, this still isn’t a massive number, and it’s unlikely to make a huge difference. We deleted a fair few notes and didn’t notice any change at all in our phone memory; it doesn’t strike us as worth the effort. But if you’re desperate (and prepared to be drastic), or if you use Notes to store attachments and other media, then it may make a crucial difference. 15. Optimize storage using a third-party app Foundry If the free tips above aren’t for you, there are myriad third-party apps available that’ll make the process simpler and quicker. Here one of our top suggestions: iMyFone Umate This is an app for Mac and Windows that can free up a huge amount of space on your iPhone. Plug in your iPhone and run a scan. The app will tell you how much free space you could potentially gain by clearing out temporary and junk files, backing up photos, and deleting large files, then showcases your app collection for rapid (but selective) deletion. Interestingly, the app offers the ability to compress your photos instead of completely deleting them. It backs the original photos up to your Mac or PC, then will compress your entire library to free up extra space (up to 75 percent, according to the company). You can grab a trial of iMyFone Umate for free, or you can pay $19.95 (around £15) for the full app.10:12 pmSMS Delivery Delays to Onvoy Spectrum Mobile in United States of America via Subset of Short Codes | TwilioSMS Delivery Delays to Onvoy Spectrum Mobile in United States of America via Subset of Short Codes
