Sure, Adobe has Acrobat, but that’s a subscription that is, at its cheapest, still over $200 for a single year. If you want an app that can edit, annotate, and convert PDFs that you don’t have to pay for every month, then check out this lifetime subscription for PDF Expert. There are no recurring costs of any kind, and it’s on sale for $79.99 (reg. $139). PDF expert packs a lot of different tools into one easy-to-navigate interface. You can edit PDFs by changing the text, inserting images, or adding links. You can annotate to highlight or comment on different areas. You can also merge, re-arrange, or split PDF files. PDF expert can also convert to and from JPG, PNG, Word, PPT, and Excel files. Working with an older file? The OCR scanner can recognize almost any text and turn it into a searchable document. You can even enhance scans and remove shadows. If you don’t want to pay every month to access files you’ll need forever, then get a lifetime subscription to PDF Expert for $79.99.

As we expected, Apple is now offering free two-hour delivery on eligible, in-stock products ordered through December 24 in select countries. The offer is available for the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, AirPods, Apple TV, and Beats only. Free two-hour delivery is available in most U.S. and Canadian metro areas for orders placed through Apple's online store, until December 24. The items will be delivered from a local Apple retail store by a courier service such as Uber Eats at a time selected during checkout. Apple normally charges $9 for two-hour delivery. Apple is also offering free three-hour delivery in Australia until December 24. Apple's extended return policy remains in effect for the holiday shopping season. In the U.S., for example, most products purchased from Apple between November 8 and December 25 this year may be returned through January 8, 2025.Tag: Apple StoreThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums01:10 amiOS 18.2.1 coming soon for iPhone users

Apple just published a new Press Release:Apple reveals 2024’s most downloaded apps and games on the App Store12:45 amApple Preparing iOS 18.2.1 Update for iPhone
Apple appears to be internally testing iOS 18.2.1 for the iPhone, based on evidence of the software update in our website's analytic logs this week. The logs have accurately revealed many iOS versions before they were released. iOS 18.2.1 should be a minor update that fixes bugs and/or addresses security vulnerabilities, but it is unclear which specific issues might be resolved. The update will likely be released in late December or early January. There could be accompanying updates, such as macOS 15.2.1, but we have not confirmed that. iOS 18.2.1 will follow iOS 18.2, which was released earlier this month. iOS 18.2 introduced more Apple Intelligence features for iPhone 15 Pro models and all iPhone 16 models, including Genmoji, Image Playground, ChatGPT integration for Siri, and more. iOS 18.2 also added a useful feature to the Find My app that allows you to share the location of your AirTag-equipped baggage with select airlines, including Delta, United, Air Canada, and others, making it quicker and easier for the airline to find your lost or delayed bags. Apple is also testing iOS 18.3 with developers and public beta testers. That update is likely to be released in January, and it only includes minor changes so far.Related Roundups: iOS 18, iPadOS 18Related Forums: iOS 18, iPadOS 18This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums12:43 amSMS Delivery Delays to Multiple Networks in UK via Subset of Pre-Registered Sender ID

Apple plans to release a new "HomePod" with a 7-inch LCD display, an A18 chip, and Apple Intelligence support in 2025, according to DigiTimes. Google's Nest Hub It is unclear how much the screen-equipped HomePod would cost, but Apple is seemingly aiming for a reasonable price. In a paywalled report this week, the supply chain publication said Apple has selected China-based manufacturer Tianma to supply the LCD panels for the device, at an "exceptionally competitive" price of $10 per panel. The low cost of this component would likely contribute to the device being more affordable. A screen-equipped HomePod has been rumored several times over the past few years. Earlier this month, for example, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo similarly said that a HomePod with a 6-to-7-inch display, an A18 chip, and Apple Intelligence support would enter mass production in the second half of 2025. Kuo said smart home capabilities would be a core aspect of the device, so it sounds like rumors about a screen-equipped HomePod and Apple's rumored smart home hub are referring to the same product coming next year. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman last month said Apple's smart home hub looks like a "square iPad," with a roughly 6-inch screen. He said the hub can be attached to a tabletop base with a speaker, or mounted on a wall. It will run a new "homeOS" operating system with a customizable widget-focused home screen, and revolve around Siri, Apple Intelligence, and HomeKit, he added. The hub could double as a home security system by displaying camera footage, and it is said to have a built-in camera that allows for FaceTime video calls. Apple's hub would compete with products like Google's Nest Hub and Amazon's Echo Show, which are priced in the $150 to $300 range. Kuo and Gurman both said Apple is also planning a wireless security camera that would work with the hub. It is unclear if Apple will actually use HomePod branding for the home hub, or if it will opt for all-new naming. It is also unclear if the current HomePod speaker will be updated next year, but a new HomePod mini is expected to launch next year.

2024 is rapidly drawing to a close, but the Apple news and rumor mill remains busy. On the software side, users are still exploring the new features in iOS 18.2 such as expanded Apple Intelligence capabilities, while Apple is moving ahead with beta testing of iOS 18.3 and related updates. On the hardware side, we're hearing lots of rumors about what's coming in 2025 and beyond, including a new design for the iPhone 17 Pro, an all-new "iPhone 17 Air," a second-generation AirTag, a redesigned Magic Mouse, and even a foldable iPad or MacBook, so read on below for all the details! 'iPhone 17 Air' With 'Major' Design Changes and 19-Inch MacBook Detailed in New Report We've been hearing quite a few rumors about a super-thin "iPhone 17 Air" coming next year and a potential foldable iPad or MacBook for further down the road, and The Wall Street Journal this week published a new report outlining information from its own sources on both devices. The report comes as analysts at Display Supply Chain Consultants shared their expected roadmap for new Apple products based on OLED displays, including an OLED iPad mini in 2026 plus OLED iPad Air models and an 18.8-inch foldable iPad Pro in 2027. iOS 18.2: Everything You Can Do With ChatGPT Integration Following last week's release of iOS 18.2 with expanded Apple Intelligence capabilities, we've shared some how-tos and guides taking deeper looks at what's new. ChatGPT integration is one of the big new features, so be sure to check out our overview of everything you can do with it. Visual intelligence on iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro models is another one, while the custom emoji characters known as Genmoji open up new possibilities for expression, although they come with some limitations. Other iOS 18.2 additions worth checking out include the new Mail Categories feature and the ability to bring back the volume slider on the Lock Screen. Apple Releases First Betas of iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3 With iOS 18.2 out the door, Apple has turned its attention to the next set of operating system updates likely scheduled for a late January release to the general public. Ahead of that release, Apple this week provided the first developer and public betas of iOS 18.3, iPadOS 18.3, macOS 15.3, and more. The updates appear to be relatively light on new features so far, although macOS Sequoia 15.3 brings Genmoji to the Mac while tvOS 18.3 is preparing to support robot vacuums in the Home app. Apple 'Working' on Redesigned Magic Mouse With a Long-Awaited 'Fix' Apple's Magic Mouse has been the butt of jokes for years over the location of its charging port, which prevents the mouse from being used while it's charging. That issue wasn't fixed with the recent update to shift the Magic Mouse and other Mac accessories from Lightning ports to USB-C, but it appears Apple is indeed going to remedy it at some point. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says Apple is working on a "full overhaul" of the Magic Mouse to address some of the "longstanding complaints" about it, but don't expect the new mouse to debut before 2026. AirTag 2 Expected to Launch Next Year With 'Considerable' Upgrade to Item Tracking Rumors have been pointing to a second-generation AirTag arriving some time in 2025, and Bloomberg's Mark Gurman this week provided a few new details about what we can expect with the update. The biggest improvement will reportedly be improved Ultra Wideband capabilities that will deliver triple the range of the current AirTag, making it much easier to track down items with associated AirTags. Meanwhile, for owners of current AirTags who want to get much more battery life out of them, Elevation Lab has a new TimeCapsule enclosure that will power your AirTag for up to ten years from a pair of AA batteries. iPhone 17 Pro Rumored to Stick With 'Triangular' Camera Design There's been a confusing mess of rumors about the iPhone 17 Pro design, including the use of multiple materials on the rear housing and a redesigned camera bump, with some sources claiming the new bump will be "rectangular," leading to suggestions that the three camera lenses could be arranged in a horizontal layout. A new rumor claims, however, that the iPhone 17 Pro will continue to feature a triangular layout for the lenses, although the overall appearance of the back of the device will indeed change.

Macworld At a glanceExpert's Rating Pros Stylish, colourful graphics Combat feels fast and fluid Multiple difficulty levels available Cons Only available on the Mac App Store No DLC packs currently available Works best with a controller Our Verdict The precise timing needed for the game’s combat and movement can be frustrating if you’re not used to arcade games, but it’s good to see Prince Of Persia back on the Mac, and this latest chapter is one of the best arcade games currently available for the Mac. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Price When Reviewed$39.99 Best Prices Today: Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown Retailer Price Mac App Store $39.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket It’s been a long time since any of the Prince Of Persia games was available on the Mac, and The Lost Crown episode was itself first released for Windows PCs at the start of 2024. However, it’s just appeared on the Mac App Store – with very little fanfare – and is rapidly working its way up Apple’s games chart. For more Mac games recommended by us read: Best Games for Mac. The Lost Crown turns out to be a real blast from the past too, as it’s a side-scrolling ‘metroidvania’ – a game that combines combat and platform-jumping elements from the Metroid and Castlevania arcade games (which were never officially available on the Mac). You don’t need any knowledge of the previous games, though, as The Lost Crown has its own story, in which you play a young warrior called Sargon, who is a member of a group that modestly call themselves The Immortals. The game starts simply enough, with the kingdom of Persia under attack from an enemy army, and Prince Ghassan taken captive and imprisoned on the magical Mount Qaf. Sargon and chums head off to rescue the Prince, but soon discover that Mount Qaf is full of mystical enemies, puzzles and obstacles that have to be overcome. The game uses detailed and colourful graphics that seem to be in 3D – at least for the main characters – but is presented like an old-school 2D platform game where you mostly run left or right across the screen and use the Space bar to jump over obstacles. The game looks great, though, with detailed backgrounds that create a real sense of atmosphere, whether you’re charging along corridors in the royal palace or hacking and slashing your way through a forest. Foundry The only bad news is that the game doesn’t run on Intel Macs, and requires an M1 processor or later, and macOS 12.0 (Monterey) or later. However, the 2D presentation means that it doesn’t need a powerful Mac, and we had no trouble running it with high graphics settings at 4K resolution on a MacBook Pro with an M2 Pro chip. Combat is fairly straightforward during the early stages of the game, with basic and heavy attacks assigned to your mouse buttons, as well as the ability to dodge and parry incoming attacks. The opening section acts as a tutorial that introduces the main moves, but the game also provides five difficulty levels so that newcomers can ease themselves into the action, along with more challenging perma-death and speed-run modes for more experienced players. Combat is fast and fluid, but will probably be easier with a game controller, as I found that parrying attacks using keyboard and mouse controls required very precise timing, and it took me quite a few attempts to slice and dice my way past the first Boss battle at the start of the game. Foundry There aren’t many games on the Mac that also focus on parkour movement like Prince Of Persia, where you have to run, jump and climb with great precision in order to get past various obstacles. This can be tricky too, as you need to hit the Space bar for a quick jump, or press-and-hold to jump higher, and many obstacles require you to rapidly jump left and right in quick succession in order to reach areas that are otherwise out of reach. That’s a bit tricky on a keyboard, so again it might be easier playing with a controller (there is an assist option that can help you out with some of these obstacles, but much of the fun lies in learning to master your combat and movement abilities). As you progress further into the game, you’ll learn to master a magical energy called Athra that gives you more powerful attacks, and you can also find or buy magical amulets that provide additional powers too. And, of course, the traditional calling card of the Prince Of Persia games is the use of ‘time powers’ that allow you to manipulate time in order to escape death or outwit your enemies. Should you buy Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown The need for really precise timing during combat and movement may be frustrating for newcomers, but if you’re a fan of arcade games then The Lost Crown is a great way to re-live your misspent youth. It’s a little annoying, though, that the Mac version currently seems to be exclusive to the Mac App Store, which means that people who already own the PC version on Steam or Epic don’t get access to the Mac version as well (and Steam and Epic also seem to have additional DLC packs that aren’t currently available on the App Store too).11:37 amDoes anyone know how I can apply this kind of effect to a tab bar in SwiftUI? | Reddit on iOS ProgrammingDoes anyone know how I can apply this kind of effect to a tab bar in SwiftUI?

Hi I am working on a iOS version of a project I did for Android and I am trying to place markers/annotations on an image. I was able to get some help for the android version but I don't really understand the math and how to do the same in SwiftUI. Right now this is what I have setup in Swift - import SwiftUI import Kingfisher struct ImageView: View { @StateObject var viewModel = viewModel() let index: Int @State var showSheet: Bool = false @State var show: Bool = false @State var currentAnnotationSelected: SelectedAnnotationModel? @State var showDialog: Bool = false @State var note: String = "" @State var localY: CGFloat = 0 @State var globalY: CGFloat = 0 @State var localX: CGFloat = 0 @State var globalX: CGFloat = 0 var annotationIndex: Int = 0 var body: some View { VStack { KFImage.url(URL(string: viewModel.uri ?? "")) .placeholder {ProgressView()} .loadDiskFileSynchronously() .cacheMemoryOnly() .gesture(DragGesture(minimumDistance: 0, coordinateSpace: .local).onEnded { dragGesture in self.localY = dragGesture.location.y self.localX = dragGesture.location.x showSheet = true }) } .sheet(isPresented: $showSheet) { VStack { AnnotationNote(x: Int(self.localX), y: Int(self.localY)) } .presentationDetents([.medium]) .presentationDragIndicator(.visible) } .overlay { VStack{ if(viewModel.annotations != [] && viewModel.annotations != nil) { ForEach(Array((viewModel.annotations.enumerated())!), id: .offset) { index, annotation in Circle() .frame(width: 15, height: 15) .position(x: 100, y: 100) //.position(x: CGFloat(annotation.coordinateX), y: CGFloat(annotation.coordinateY)) .onTapGesture { currentAnnotationSelected = SelectedAnnotationModel(index: index, details: annotation) self.showSheet = true } } } } } } } It's giving me 2 issues though - 1. The markers are not showing where I clicked and 2. I need the android and iOS versions to both show the markers correctly for the same image on any device, so I'm not sure how to do those same calculations in swift? - Android Version06:57 amSMS Delivery Delay To Telenor Network In Pakistan

The EU is pushing Apple to make iOS more interoperable with other platforms, requiring features like AirDrop and AirPlay to work seamlessly with Android and third-party devices, while also enabling background app functionality and cross-platform notifications. 9to5Google reports: A new document released (PDF) by the European Commission this week reveals a number of ways the EU wants Apple to change iOS and its features to be more interoperable with other platforms. There are some changes to iOS itself, such as opening up notifications to work on third-party smartwatches as they do with the Apple Watch. Similarly, the EU wants Apple to let iOS apps work in the background as Apple's first-party apps do, as this is a struggle of some apps, especially companion apps for accessories such as smartwatches (other than the Apple Watch, of course). But there are also some iOS features that the EU directly wants Apple to open up to other platforms, including Android. [...] As our sister site 9to5Mac points out, Apple has responded (PDF) to this EU document, prominently criticizing the EU for putting out a mandate that "could expose your private information." Apple's document primarily focuses in on Meta, which the company says has made "more interoperability requests" than anyone else. Apple says that opening AirPlay to Meta would "[create] a new class of privacy and security issues, while giving them data about users homes." The EU is taking consultation on this case until January 9, 2025, and if Apple doesn't comply when the order is eventually put into effect, it could result in heavy fines.

It's looking like 2025 is going to be an important year for Apple, with the company planning to revamp the iPhone, push further into smart home products, and improve Apple Intelligence. There are tons of new products rumored for 2025, including new iPhones, M4 Macs, a smart home command center, and much more. We've highlighted the top five Apple products that will have the biggest impact in 2025. iPhone 17 "Air" There's a new, super thin iPhone planned for 2025, and while we don't know what Apple will call it, rumors have taken to referring to it as the iPhone 17 Air. It's a fitting name, because it won't be as powerful or as pricey as the Pro models, but it will be more expensive than the standard iPhone 17. Rumors suggest the iPhone 17 Air will be somewhere around 6mm thick, which will make it the thinnest iPhone to date. For reference, Apple's iPhone 16 Pro is 8.25mm thick, so we're looking at a good 2mm difference. The new iPhone is rumored to have a 6.6-inch display, coming in between the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro Max in size. It will only have a single-lens 48-megapixel rear camera because of space constraints, and it's going to be one of the first devices to feature Apple's new 5G modem. We're still getting a regular iPhone 17, but there won't be an iPhone 17 Plus this year. Apple also plans to sell the iPhone 17 Air alongside iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models, and rumors suggest there are some design changes coming to those models, too. So far, it sounds like we're going to get a half-aluminum half-glass design for the back panel that could improve durability, plus the camera setup could get a redesign. All four iPhones in 2025 will get A19 chips, and ProMotion 120Hz display technology isn't going to be limited to the Pro models anymore. You can about the features rumored for the iPhone 17 lineup in our iPhone 17 roundup. AirPods Pro 3 Apple refreshed the AirPods 4 in 2024, and in 2025, we'll get an AirPods Pro update. Apple is rumored to be updating the design, but just what the earbuds will look like remains unclear. The AirPods 4 got a slimmed down case, so that could be what we see for the AirPods Pro 3 too. Both sound quality and Active Noise Cancellation are expected to improve, mostly due to Apple unveiling a next-generation H series chip. Apple hasn't introduced a new audio chip for some time now, so it will be exciting to see what features an update will bring. There have been some rumors about heart rate tracking and temperature monitoring coming to the AirPods Pro at some point, so that's a possibility as well. More on what we've heard about the AirPods Pro 3 can be found in our guide. Apple Command Center Apple plans to unveil a small, square-shaped home "Command Center" device that will be used for controlling smart home devices, FaceTime calls, watching videos, and more. It essentially sounds like it's going to be Apple's version of the Echo Show. The six-inch device will be small enough to take from room to room, and you can use it on a tabletop or mount it on the wall. It will hopefully be affordable enough that you can have multiple devices across different rooms, streamlining the increasing number of smart home products many of us have in our homes. The Command Center will have standard Apple apps like Home, Calendar, Apple Music, Apple News, and Apple Photos, but Apple isn't making a dedicated App Store for it. You'll be able to use it for video calls, and expect deep Apple Intelligence integration. iPhone SE 4 Apple is finally ready to refresh its low-cost iPhone, and the iPhone SE 4 is going to get a lot of improvements that have the potential to make it an incredible value. Small screen sizes and Touch ID are a thing of the past, so the iPhone SE will have a 6.1-inch OLED display and Face ID. In fact, rumors suggest that it's modeled after the iPhone 14. There will be a single-lens 48-megapixel rear camera, a notch for Face ID, and a USB-C port for charging. The larger screen size, OLED display technology, Face ID, and higher megapixel camera will all be new to the SE lineup. The device is also expected to be the first to get Apple's in-house 5G modem, and it is rumored to have the same A18 chip that's in the current iPhone 16. The A18 chip supports Apple Intelligence, so the iPhone SE will have Genmoji, Image Playground, Writing Tools, smarter Siri, and more, plus 8GB RAM is the minimum for Apple Intelligence, so it's also going to get a big memory boost. When it launches, the iPhone SE's performance will be on par with the iPhone 16, which is impressive for a low-cost iPhone. There's been no word that Apple plans to raise prices, and we're still expecting the iPhone SE to cost less than $500. Siri Improvements In spring updates coming to iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia, Apple plans to add new functionality to Siri, including onscreen awareness, personal context, and the ability for Siri to take more actions in and across apps. Onscreen awareness will let Siri see and understand what's on your display, so you can reference it in voice requests. If you're looking at a photo and want to send it to your friend Eric, for example, you will be able to say "Send this to Eric," and Siri will understand what "this" is. Personal context will allow Siri to do more with your personal data like emails and messages, learning more about you to be more helpful. Siri will know who you're communicating with, how you use your device, and will keep track of everything you have stored. Personal context will let Siri do things like find a specific message, locate a recent file, find content in emails like flight numbers, or remind you when you took a photo you're looking for. Siri's ability to do more in and across apps will majorly improve what Siri is capable of. You'll be able to move files from one app to another, edit photos with voice commands, and complete multi-step multi-app processes that Siri isn't currently capable of handling. In iOS 19, coming in June, Apple plans to unveil LLM Siri, or a version of Siri trained on a large language model.
