- 06:55 pmMacs get fun custom Genmoji with macOS Sequoia 15.3
macOS Sequoia 15.3 just became available ready for any compatible Mac to install. It brings Genmoji to Mac. (via Cult of Mac - Apple news, rumors, reviews and how-tos)06:50 pmNew leak gives us a clear look at the iPhone SE 4–with a notch
Macworld We now have our best look at what is supposed to be the iPhone SE 4, due for launch this spring. Notable leaker Majin Bu posted a short video on X showing the iPhone SE 4 from all angles, and a series of clear photographs showing the white and black models. MajinBuOfficial/X If you have been following the rumors and expected the iPhone SE 4 to look like an iPhone 14 with a single rear camera, you won’t be surprised by these photos at all. The video doesn’t show much new either but appears to offer confirmation that the iPhone SE will have a notch rather than a Dynamic Island. While this is hardly a surprising look, and definitely not innovative, it’s exactly what we expect from an iPhone SE: modern processors in an older body with reduced camera capabilities. Notably, Apple still sells the iPhone 14 for $599 (U.S.), which makes one wonder what will happen once this launches. Why buy an iPhone 14 for more money when the presumably less-expensive iPhone SE 4 looks and feels the same has a faster processor and presumably costs less? We should know the answer soon enough, as Apple is expected to launch the new phone in March or April.

The designer of the new title sequence for season two of Apple TV+ hit "Severance," has detailed the many clues and hints in the sequence — even though he doesn't know what they mean either.Still from the new "Severance" title sequence — image credit: AppleSomewhere around the middle of the 2000s, the television drama title sequence was dead. Just compare Aaron Sorkin's "The West Wing" with its 1999 soaring theme and sequence, to the stark title card of Sorkin's 2006 "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip."The idea was that a sequence lasting up to 60 seconds is a whole minute's advertising lost. Hour-long dramas have already shrunk from around 55 minutes to around 45 over the decades, every second possible taken out for an advert, so title sequences were an obvious target.

Macworld Anytime you can get an iPad for $200 off, it’s a great deal, especially when it has the largest screen and best chip. We’re talking about the 13-inch M4 iPad Pro, of course, the very best tablet Apple makes, which is down to its very best price of $1,099. It probably comes as no surprise that when we reviewed the new iPad Pro, we gave it a super rare five-star rating, appreciating the first-class display, stellar performance, great battery life, and incredibly thin design: “The new iPad Pro is the best tablet you can currently get. Its performance and range of functions are first-class, while the new OLED display saves on weight and makes a flatter chassis possible,” we wrote. The M4 chip on this tablet really makes it shine, allowing it to deliver a performance that’s well above what we saw in previous iPad Pro models. The tablet’s AI-powered features also make the whole experience better, while the 16-core Neural Engine makes the iPad ready for any other functions Apple may want to bring in the future. If you want some accessories, the tablet works with the Apple Pencil Pro ($14 off) and the Magic Keyboard, which basically turns your tablet into a laptop. The 13-inch display is gorgeous, as well, and perfectly suitable for anything you have to watch and work on. Don’t miss out on this $200 off deal for the M4 iPad Pro, and get a gorgeous tablet that’s tons of fun for work and play. Buy now at Amazon06:28 pmApple’s secret work on AR glasses continues
