Apple on Monday introduced a new generation of the iMac, which is now powered by the M4 chip. Although it looks almost identical to the previous model, the new M4 iMac comes with a few new tricks – and one of them is support for 8K output at 120Hz for compatible displays.

Today’s M4 iMac announcement shows just how serious Apple is about the all-in-one desktop line.

The M1 iMac made a huge splash. It brought the return of colors, featured a giant iPad-like design, and sported a larger display with more resolution than the 4K 21.5-inch Intel iMac it replaced. Then Apple introduced the M2 chip, put it inside a bunch of Macs, and left the M1 iMac untouched.

Apple released a ton of software updates today, including iOS 18.1, macOS Sequoia 15.1, and more. But there was another key software release you may be unaware of. If you’re not yet running iOS 18, Apple’s new iOS 17.7.1 update includes important security fixes for your iPhone.

iOS 18.1 is a big release for iPhone users, primarily because of Apple Intelligence. But what if you don’t have an AI-compatible iPhone, are in the EU or China, or just don’t care much about AI? Here are five reasons to upgrade to iOS 18.1 anyways.

iOS 18.1 with the first Apple Intelligence features launched to everyone today, with features like Writing Tools, Clean Up, and more.

Last week, Apple started beta testing the next round of Apple Intelligence capabilities with iOS 18.2. Apple has since confirmed that these Apple Intelligence features and iOS 18.2 will launch to everyone in December.

There are a lot of memes on the internet about Apple’s Magic Mouse as users have to turn it upside down to plug it into the charger. But if you thought Apple would change that with the new Magic Mouse launched today, we have some bad news. Although it now has USB-C, the charging port is still on the bottom of the mouse.

iOS 18.1 is here, and it brings the first set of Apple Intelligence features. But if you’ve updated your iPhone, you might have noticed that AI access requires joining a waitlist. Here’s why.

Today Apple released long-awaited USB-C updates for its trio of Mac accessories: the Magic Keyboard, Magic Trackpad, and Magic Mouse. The Apple Store currently only shows one, very pricey version of the new Magic Keyboard available. But don’t worry, you can still get a USB-C Magic Keyboard in several different variations and at lower costs.

If you want a slim MagSafe battery that supports Qi2 fast charging, look at the . This compact and sleek battery is perfect for charging your iPhone while offering some nice additional features, like a built-in kickstand.

Apple today launched the new M4 iMac in a press release, while simultaneously posting an announcement video to YouTube that looks like it could have been cut straight out of a streamed event video.

A report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman suggests that Apple’s upcoming smart home display might bear more than a passing resemblance to one of the most iconic Macintosh models, the iMac G4.

This is something I suggested might happen back in the summer, though personally I was hoping for a magnetic attachment for an iPad …

Instagram head Adam Mosseri has admitted that the company may reduce the quality of your video if it thinks it’s not getting enough views …

If you had a Cash App account between August 2018 and August 2024, you could be eligible to claim up to $2,575 in compensation for a data breach – but only if you submit your claim quickly …

The $250 (yep, there’s no missing ‘M’ from the end of that number) Apple was awarded in its patent infringement case against Masimo might seem amusing – as John Gruber wryly noted, it’s just about enough to buy one Apple Watch SE.

But what was even more amusing is than neither Apple not Masimo could admit what the case was really about for the respective parties …

Earlier this week, the Indonesian government has banned the sale and use of iPhone 16 models in the country, alongside other Apple products released this fall, including the Apple Watch Series 10. The ban occurred because Apple failed to meet some of its investment commitments in the country (via The Economic Times).

Apple skipped updating their this year (and last year as well), leaving it with the over four year old A14 chipset. They did lower the price earlier this year, from $449 to $349, but we should finally see a real refresh next spring. Here’s what to expect.

Meta released a brand new mixed reality headset about two week ago, the . It’s their cheapest mixed reality headset by far, starting at a price of $299, compared to the $499 starting price of Meta Quest 3. Don’t get confused though, the S in 3S does not mean it’s better, even though you may think that.

It’s a great value for mixed reality – but something Apple would never make.

Apple is going to be holding an “exciting week of announcements” starting tomorrow, confirmed by Apple marketing exec Greg Joswiak. Although the announcements will focus on the first M4 Macs, rumors for several other Apple products are circulating. Today, we aim to clarify what you shouldn’t expect this week.

iFixit shared their teardown for the new yesterday, highlighting the fact that Apple did not rotate the display driver in order to fix the “jelly scrolling” problem – which many expected them to do. Instead, the fix lies somewhere else.

Apple transitioned the Mac lineup to Apple Silicon starting in 2020, and they completed the transition in 2023. Since the transition started, Apple quickly started dropping support for Intel Macs on newer versions of macOS. That raises the question: how much longer will Intel Macs receive software support?

Apple released iOS 18.2 developer beta 1 earlier this week, with ChatGPT support, Image Playground, Image Wand, and Genmoji. However, the latter image generation features required a waitlist, one that many found themselves stuck on. A small number of users gained access quickly, but the vast majority have been waiting, unable to access the new features.

However, a decent wave of users have reported gaining access today.

Apple released its new model earlier this week, marking the first update in over three years. It was quite a small refresh, mainly focusing on A17 Pro with Apple Intelligence and Apple Pencil Pro – but there are some smaller changes under the hood you might’ve not heard about.

In this weekend’s Power On newsletter, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg outlined some additional details for Apple’s upcoming smart home products, and it seems likely that there’ll be a throwback to one of Apple’s beloved computers – the iMac G4.

Apple is going to be launching the M4 Mac lineup next week in a series of press releases, which Apple marketing exec Greg Joswiak refers to as an “exciting week of announcements.” These are some Apple products you probably won’t be able to buy from the Apple Store after that saga.

The latest Controller for HomeKit Version 7.2 release introduces a range of new features designed to fully take advantage of iOS 18’s capabilities. The update focuses on enhancing smart home control and providing a more streamlined experience for using .

Ever since the 2016 models with Touch Bar, Apple has been soldering the SSD storage to the logic boards, preventing users from easily being able to easily upgrade or swap the drives in their devices.

However, a repair YouTuber known as iBoff, who describes himself as a “Mac Logic Board Enthusiast”, has seemingly created a solution – one that doesn’t take up much additional space.

Apple refreshed the base iPad is over two years old, why is Apple leaving it outdated?

Apple this week released the first beta of iOS 18.2 to developers, which brings additional Apple Intelligence features – such as integration with ChatGPT, Image Playground and Genmoji. However, when it comes to the features related to image generation, beta users may have to wait a few weeks before trying them out.

The rollout strategy is part of Apple’s emphasis on its Responsible AI principles…

The popular Blackmagic Camera app has just received a huge update with multiple new features for iOS users. The new version brings support for the iPhone 16’s Camera Control, as well as more bitrate options and many other improvements. Read on as we detail everything that’s new in Blackmagic Camera.

The Bluesky microblogging platform has grown significantly over the last year, from 2 million users last November to more than 13 million users. But Bluesky seems to have more ambitious plans for the future, as its chief operating officer Rose Wang has confirmed that the platform will soon have a paid subscription.

Apple and medical device company Masimo are currently embroiled in multiple legal battles, headlined by the ongoing fight over the Apple Watch’s blood oxygen sensor.

In a separate case, however, Apple was handed a victory today courtesy of a jury in Delaware. The jury ruled that two of Masimo’s smartwatches and chargers “willfully violated Apple’s patent rights in smartwatch designs,” as reported by Reuters.

Last month, Apple announced that support for it would be adding support for spatial photos and spatial videos to Safari. In a new interview with PetaPixel, Apple confirmed that this feature is on track to arrive this year.

Apple News+ is once again expanding its collection of puzzles. With the release of iOS 18.2 beta 1, Apple News+ now offers daily sudoku puzzles across easy, moderate, and challenging difficulty levels. You can also track your sudoku performance right in the Apple News app.

The ideal HomeKit accessories run themselves. Turning off and on lights from an app is a nice feature, but it’s a similar level of effort to using a light switch. The real magic is when you can “set it and forget it.” The is the perfect example of this reality when you need a night light for a kid’s room or to light up a hallway/stairwell at night. Once installed, you can turn on an automation and never think about it again.

A new report from Bloomberg today details that Apple quietly tested an app this year designed to “help people with prediabetes manage their food intake and make lifestyle changes.”

The test comes as Apple continues its work on a noninvasive glucose tracker, a long-running moonshot project that dates back to the Steve Jobs era.

Friday’s best Apple deals are now ready to go with the very first straight up cash price drops on the brand new iPad mini 7 joined by clearance pricing on the mini 6 starting from $350 Amazon lows. The iPad deals carry on with this weekend’s Best Buy event that is taking an additional $50 off just about every M4 iPad Pro in the lineup for members, amounting to as much as $200 in savings and $150 off most of the mid-tier configs. The 42mm Apple Watch Series 10 has now dropped even lower to a new $369 Amazon all-time low, much like the price drops we spotted this morning on Apple’s brand new 2-meter 25W MagSafe Charger at its best price ever, and we also have ongoing $249 price drops on the latest M3 MacBook Air. All of that and much more await in today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break. 

Apple has confirmed that it has an “exciting week” of Mac announcements planned starting on Monday. We’re expecting updates to the MacBook Pro, iMac, and Mac mini – alongside the launch of the first Apple Intelligence features.

Here’s everything you need to know about next week.

Apple TV+ is having a moment. Not necessarily by getting more subscribers or hitting new levels of brand awareness. Those measures can be hard to judge. But TV+ is undoubtedly in the middle of a hot streak with acclaimed shows. Even more impressively, that streak looks set to continue with the strong lineup that’s coming.

Apple may be pitching Apple Intelligence as a key reason to upgrade to the iPhone 16, but it seems that most smartphone buyers are far more interested in the basics – like battery life.

A survey found that only a relatively small minority of consumers are currently using AI features on their smartphones, and it doesn’t yet seem to be a purchase driver …

With the release of iOS 16 in 2022, Apple removed the volume slider from the iPhone Lock Screen except while using AirPlay. In iOS 18.2, however, Apple has decided to bring back that capability with a new “Always Show Volume Control” option in the Settings app.

Apple marketing VP Greg Joswiak yesterday revealed that we can expect an exciting week of Mac announcements, starting on Monday morning.

The tweet also effectively confirmed that there will be no Mac event, just press releases and small-scale briefings for select media reps and creators …

A UnitedHealth hack exposed the personal information and health data of more than 100M Americans – the first time the company has put a specific number on the security breach.

A ransomware attack was made on Change Healthcare back in February, but it was only yesterday that the company revealed its “unprecedented magnitude” …

In most cases, you’d expect a shiny new Apple device to be worth less than you paid as soon as you walk out of the store, at least once you’re past the 14-day return period. You’d also expect companies buying in bulk to pay significantly less than retail.

But one of the biggest resellers in the business tells us that neither of these things is true, and that it is currently selling bulk lots of the iPhone 16 for above retail …

Apple recently announced a new generation of the iPad mini, which features the faster A17 Pro chip inside with support for Apple Intelligence. There are exclusive wallpapers available for these iPads, but you can download them for any device here.

After teasing a native app for macOS last month, Perplexity AI on Thursday officially launched a version of its app for the Mac. Users can now interact with the platform more easily without having to rely on the web version.

Even before releasing iOS 18.1 to the public, Apple has released the first developer beta of iOS 18.2, which includes many new Apple Intelligence features. One of the new features is the long-awaited integration with ChatGPT, and thanks to this, you can now ask Siri for details about what you’re seeing on your device’s screen.

Apple is planning a host of M4 Mac announcements for next week, but one model that won’t be included is the MacBook Air. However, a new report indicates we shouldn’t have to wait long for Apple’s most popular Mac to get updated, or the new iPhone that’s expected shortly afterwards.

Ahead of the release of iOS 18.1 to the public next week, Apple today released a major update to TestFlight. The new version comes with a new design and new features that were teased at WWDC 2024 in June. Read on as we detail everything that’s new with the TestFlight update.

Ahead of the Apple Intelligence launch next week, Apple is making good on this promise.

Apple has released the macOS Sequoia 15.1 RC to both developers and public beta users. This marks the final expected beta before next week’s public launch. Here’s what to expect.

Update 10/24/24: Apple has released a second RC version of macOS 15.1. It includes the build number 24B83.

The first Apple Intelligence features are launching next week with iOS 18.1, and beta testers have even now gained access to wave two in iOS 18.2.

The and the Qi2 Trio Wireless Charging Pad—two sleek, travel-friendly solutions to keep your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods powered up. Whether you’re at your desk or halfway across the world, these will do the trick. Simple, stylish, and seriously useful. Let’s take a closer look.

While it’s not an event, Apple has officially confirmed that next week will be an “exciting week of announcements” starting on Monday morning. The teaser was posted to social media by Apple’s marketing VP Greg Joswiak.

This announcements are expected to focus on the Mac and Apple’s transition to the M4 chip. Head below for the full details on what’s to come.

Apple Vision Pro is a surprisingly emotional computer. If Apple Watch is Apple’s most personal device, Apple Vision Pro is the company’s most intimate.

My take on Apple Vision Pro after a month of regular use is that it’s the ultimate nostalgia machine, a portable movie theater, and a Macintosh-caliber personal computer. In this piece, I want to focus on the nostalgia component and how profound it can be.

Alongside an ongoing offer on the previous M2 MacBook Air at $399 off the original price (now available in all colors), we are also tracking solid $249 price drops on select M3 MacBook Airs in the 13-inch form-factor.

Head below for a closer look at all of them in today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break alongside some Anker charging gear, iPad accessories, and more. 

Tim Cook has been making rounds in China this week. Among his many meetings, the CEO reportedly met with a Chinese government official. The result? Apple is said to be increasing its investment in China, especially in supply chain development.

OnePlus (and Oppo) have launched a new solution for sharing files with iPhone users wirelessly, all baked into the latest Android 15 update. But… uh… it’s probably not going to be all that popular.

For years, Apple provided its built-in Keychain password management tool hidden within the Settings app. This tool allowed passwords to be automatically generated and saved in the Passwords section, but it could often be cumbersome when a user wants to manage particular logins.

Now, in iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia, saved passwords have broken away into their own rounded corner island on the home screen called Passwords. Apple hopes this new app will make managing credentials more convenient for users. However, there are concerns that it may not offer enough features to replace paid password managers. Sure, but is that the goal?

The first iOS 18.2 beta brought a ton of new features and changes, with powerful Apple Intelligence upgrades being the highlight. But the release also introduced a new iMessage child safety feature for reporting nudes to Apple. Here’s what you should know.

A new supply-chain report notes that the Apple Watch Series 10 advanced display technology is expected to be adopted in future iPhones.

Apple’s trickle-down approach means that the Apple Watch always gets the most advanced display tech first before it later rolls out to other devices, and the S10 tech is likely to be later used for iPhones – but not next year …

While the narrative around Apple Intelligence is that the company is leaning heavily on “coming later” asterisks, and we’ll have to wait a long time for any of it to actually launch, yesterday’s iOS 18.2 beta release tells a somewhat different story.

Now, sure, we have to include an asterisk of our own here – just because a feature is available in the current beta doesn’t mean it’ll make it into the release version in December – but it’s still a good pointer to the intended pace of the Apple Intelligence rollout …

Editor’s note: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that iOS 18.2 beta enabled sleep apnea monitoring. The article has been replaced to reflect the feature is officially approved for all Apple Watch Series 9, Ultra 2, and Series 10 users in Canada.

Apple announced in September that sleep apnea detection was coming to the Apple Watch, and the feature is now available in many countries around the world. As of today, Canada is joining the list where sleep apnea notifications are available to Apple Watch users.

Apple last year introduced the ability for third-party web browsers to add web apps to the iOS Home Screen, a feature that was previously exclusive to Safari. However, these web apps still depend on Apple’s WebKit. But Apple is changing that with iOS 18.2 – at least for a specific group of users.

As a result of the Digital Markets Act (DMA) antitrust legislation in the EU, Apple has had to change how iOS and the App Store work for users in European countries. And there are more changes coming with iOS 18.2. More specifically, iPhone and iPad users will soon be able to delete the App Store, Safari, and many other built-in iOS apps.

The first iOS 18.2 developer beta has been released, and it includes a number of major changes for iPhone users. There are new Apple Intelligence features, upgrades to the Mail app, and more. Head below as we round up all of the changes and new features included in iOS 18.2 beta 1.

A huge Apple Intelligence upgrade has arrived in the iOS 18.2 beta: ChatGPT integration, which works both with Siri and in writing tools. But how will ChatGPT respect your privacy?
