Rounding Up iPhone 17 Pro Rumors, From Improved Cameras to Design Changes

Now that we know what's coming in iOS 26 following Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, we can't help but turn our eyes toward the iPhone 17 line (which might include an ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air) expected to arrive in the fall. And because it tends to include more features, the rumored iPhone 17 Pro is especially interesting, such as better video capabilities and improved battery technology.

Apple Execs Get Seriously Flustered Trying to Explain the Company's Dismal AI Failure

Apple is facing some intense scrutiny after yet again flubbing its AI tech. During the company's Worldwide Developers Conference on Tuesday, the company showed off its latest vision for "Apple Intelligence," a suite of tools that use machine learning to scan images for objects or smush emojis together to form custom Franken-reacts — cutesy ideas that fall vastly short of the ambition of competitors in the space like OpenAI. The Wall Street Journal's Joanna Stern sat down with Apple's software

Apple quietly fixed an iPhone zero-day flaw that was used against journalists

Today, Apple confirmed (via TechCrunch) that a zero-day flaw used to deploy mercenary spyware onto journalists’ iPhones was quietly patched earlier this year, with the iOS 18.3.1 update. The flaw, disclosed today in an updated security advisory, was exploited by Israeli surveillance firm Paragon, to hack into the phones of at least two European journalists.

After 18 Years, Apple Is Killing Its 9-Minute Snooze—That Can Only Mean One Thing

For years, it’s always been nine more measly minutes. If you don’t know what the hell I’m talking about, you’ve probably never owned an iPhone, or you’re one of those freaks who wakes up without a device screaming in your face to do so. If you are in one of those camps, let me explain: for 18 years, Apple has maintained a vice grip on its alarm snooze feature, which grants nine more minutes to your alarm. No more, no less. Just nine minutes. And there’s no adjusting that in settings. No adjusti

Apple fixes new iPhone zero-day bug used in Paragon spyware hacks

Researchers revealed on Thursday that two European journalists had their iPhones hacked with spyware made by Paragon. Apple now says it has fixed the bug that was used to hack their phones. Citizen Lab wrote in its report, shared with TechCrunch ahead of its publication, that Apple had told its researchers that the flaw exploited in the attacks had been “mitigated in iOS 18.3.1,” a software update for iPhones released on February 10. Until this week, the advisory of that security update only m

Here are Apple’s top AI announcements from WWDC 2025

Last year, Apple’s WWDC keynote highlighted the company’s ambitious strides in AI. This year, the company toned down its emphasis on Apple Intelligence and concentrated on updates to its operating systems, services, and software, introducing a new aesthetic it calls “Liquid Glass” along with a new naming convention. Nevertheless, Apple still attempted to appease the crowd with a few AI-related announcements, such as an image analysis tool, a workout coach, a live translation feature, and more.

macOS apps can now render 3D scenes directly on Apple Vision Pro, hinting at a tethered headset

Apple’s WWDC25 developer sessions are packed with interesting tidbits that didn’t get stage time on the keynote or the State of the Union presentation. One in particular, highlighted briefly during What’s new in SwiftUI, could offer the first real hint at where visionOS is heading next. A couple of months ago, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported that Apple was readying two new Vision Pro headsets. One aims to be lighter and more affordable than the current version, while the other is said to be a

Apple confirms Siri’s delayed features won’t ship until 2026

In a new interview, Apple executives have narrowed the timeline of when to expect Siri’s delayed AI upgrades, confirming they will release in 2026 and no sooner. Here are the details. When Apple first delayed the new Siri features that were supposed to ship in iOS 18, it did so with a fairly vague updated timeline. The company said of the Siri upgrades: “we anticipate rolling them out in the coming year.” That was back in March. The language of “the coming year” left many wondering: did that

Apple’s Newest iPad Air 11-inch With M3 Chip Suddenly Hits Its Lowest Price, Feels Like a Clearout Sale

There’s something to be said for just getting off your phone at the end of the day. Even if it is just being replaced by another screen, at least you’re more likely to use that other screen to actually watch something, or maybe play a game, or even work.

Your iPad is your new computer

After its WWDC 2025 event, Apple described its upcoming iPadOS 26 update as “the biggest iPadOS release ever.” This doesn’t seem like it’s just a self-aggrandizing exaggeration, though — iPadOS 26 could actually change the way we think about the utility of a fifteen-year-old product that has long felt like an oversized iPhone designed for a cyclops. The new OS brings us multi-tasking tools, a new windowing system, and the Preview app, which may not sound as alluring as “Liquid Glass.” But if yo

Apple is salvaging Image Playground with a boost from ChatGPT

When Apple unveiled Image Playground last year, the company touted it as a quick and easy way to generate personalized, original images with the help of Apple Intelligence. Upon launch, the app was met with skepticism, as some users were disappointed by its limitations and low-quality results. For example, one Reddit user was surprised to find that Image Playground kept generating an image of a hand with six fingers when prompted to create an “up close image of a hand.” In another instance, a u
