Apple Calendar spam on the rise again, mostly crypto scams

We first saw Apple Calendar spam almost a decade ago, when it hit such levels that the iPhone maker issued an apology and said that it was blocking suspicious senders. We’ve seen the problem re-emerge several times since then, with Apple even publishing a YouTube video on how to remove it. Despite all of these efforts, however, it seems to be spiking again … Spammers send calendar invitations containing links, most of them taking the form of cryptocurrency scams. Several of us at 9to5Mac have

If the iPhone 17 doesn't get ProMotion, I won't be upgrading my iPhone 12

In 2020, I bought an iPhone 12 to replace my aging Pixel 3 , and nearly five years later, I'm still using that same device because it works fine and Apple has yet to bring the feature I want most on a regular iPhone: a ProMotion display. If you're not familiar with the company's marketing lingo, ProMotion is its way of describing a high-refresh rate display. Apple introduced ProMotion with the iPhone 13 Pro . Since then, every Pro model has offered a 120Hz refresh rate display with the ability

M4 Mac mini still remains one of Apple’s best computers to date, here’s why

Apple announced the redesigned Mac mini with M4 chip last October. It’s by no means a new product at this point, and it’s nearly a year old.

Compute is getting cheaper It’s no secret that Apple Silicon has enabled Apple to ship far more performant chipsets in lower end machines. Before the transition to Apple Silicon, a MacBook Air being able to edit 4K video

Report: Apple planning to launch Apple Intelligence in China before end of 2025

Apple Reminders on macOS Tahoe includes this interesting piece of vintage UI design

Despite macOS going through a couple major redesigns over the past couple years with Big Sur in 2020 and now Tahoe in 2025, there’s still one app that includes a very old looking interface that predates these redesigns: Apple Reminders.

iCloud Calendar abused to send phishing emails from Apple’s servers

iCloud Calendar invites are being abused to send callback phishing emails disguised as purchase notifications directly from Apple's email servers, making them more likely to bypass spam filters to land in targets' inboxes. Earlier this month, a reader shared an email with BleepingComputer that claimed to be a payment receipt for $599 charged against the recipient's PayPal account. This email included a phone number if the recipient wanted to discuss the payment or make changes to it. "Hello Cu

Apple’s new generative AI ‘answer engine’ might arrive sooner than we initially thought

Despite this team’s recent formation, we might get to see the fruits of their labor much sooner than one might’ve anticipated. Despite all of the Apple Intelligence Siri woes, Apple still seems determined to make an impact in the generative AI space. That’s why it’s trying to develop a Perplexity and ChatGPT rival, which we’ve previously referred to
