The real reason people buy new iPhones (hint: it’s not AI)

Apple doesn’t report sales numbers anymore, but analysts estimate the company sells hundreds of millions of new iPhones every year. While many 9to5Mac readers may buy new models for features like camera upgrades or Apple Intelligence, new data reveals very different motivations for the vast majority of buyers. iPhone sales are driven by broken, malfunctioning phones far more than anything else CIRP has just published a new report offering insights into what prompts new iPhone purchases.

Pro-Israel hackers destroy $90 million in Iran crypto exchange breach, analytics firm says

Iran's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Nobitex, was hacked for more than $90 million Wednesday, according to blockchain analytics firm Elliptic. The funds were drained from platform wallets into addresses bearing anti-government messages explicitly referencing Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC, pointing to a politically motivated cyberattack, Elliptic said. Pro-Israel hacking group Gonjeshke Darande, or "Predatory Sparrow," claimed responsibility for the attack and said it wou

macOS Tahoe’s new Spotlight clipboard manager leaves plenty of room for powerful third-party apps

The new Spotlight is easily my favorite macOS announcement from WWDC25. It may even be my favorite update across all of Apple’s platforms this year. Still, I don’t plan on abandoning my current clipboard manager. Here’s why. The addition of a native clipboard history tool to macOS feels like one of those small but meaningful quality-of-life upgrades we’ve been waiting forever to get. That said… I’m not switching. Don’t get me wrong: I love that Apple is acknowledging clipboard history as a po

See the hacked iPhone camera Apple built to shoot real race scenes for F1 The Movie

Talk about “shot on iPhone”. For its upcoming F1 movie, Apple tasked its engineers with building a custom camera module, using iPhone parts, to replace the onboard cameras that are used for F1 live race broadcasts. Here’s a closer look at the rig. But… why? As detailed by Wired (via MacMagazine), when director Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick) and cinematographer Claudio Miranda (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) told Apple they wanted authentic, driver-perspective shots for the film, the

The iPhone Air may get a new battery-saving display – but not this year

One of the likely challenges of the upcoming iPhone 17 Air is battery life. Indeed, Apple’s own tests reportedly show that a lot of us wouldn’t make it through the day with the ultra-slim model. The company may have a fix for that in the works, in the form of a new power-efficient display upgrade. But Apple isn’t expected to incorporate the new tech before 2027 at the earliest … The iPhone 17 Air is set to be the slimmest iPhone Apple has ever made, but it’s going to come with some significant

U.S. and China drive iPhone rebound for April and May

After a rocky start to the year, the iPhone business is showing signs recovery, especially in China, where Apple had recently been overtaken by local brands riding on an aggressive government-backed subsidy plan. Here’s the latest data. The new report from Counterpoint Research (via MacRumors) says iPhone sales grew 15% year-over-year across April and May, marking Apple’s strongest performance for this time of year since the pandemic.

All 17 fired vaccine advisors unite to blast RFK Jr.’s “destabilizing decisions”

All 17 experts ousted from the federal vaccine advisory committee have spoken out about the drastic changes that anti-vaccine advocate and current US health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made since taking office. Those changes include unilaterally restricting access to COVID-19 vaccines and summarily firing the entire Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which had guided federal vaccine policies for more than 60 years. "We are deeply concerned that these destabilizing deci

Bzip2 crate switches from C to 100% Rust

Today we published bzip2 version 0.6.0 , which uses our rust implementation of the bzip2 algorithm, libbz2-rs-sys , by default. The bzip2 crate is now faster and easier to cross-compile. The libbz2-rs-sys crate can also be built as a C dynamic library, if you have a C project that would benefit from these improvements. Why though? Why bother working on this algorithm from the 90s that sees very little use today? The thing is that many protocols and libraries still need to support bzip2 to be

A New ‘Star Trek’ Comic Will Bring Captain Kirk Back to Life

Somehow, Captain Kirk returned. Wrong sci-fi franchise for that meme, but it’s true. IDW Publishing has just announced Star Trek: The Last Starship as a new addition to its line of Trek comics, and it’ll focus on a certain Starfleet hero who’s been dead since the big-screen events of 1994’s Star Trek: Generations. How is this possible? Well, beyond the long-held notion that anything is possible in sci-fi, a notion that also applies to comic books, the Hollywood Reporter—which was the first to a

AWS' custom chip strategy is showing results, and cutting into Nvidia's AI dominance

Amazon Web Services is set to announce an update to its Graviton4 chip that includes 600 gigabytes per second of network bandwidth, what the company calls the highest offering in the public cloud. Ali Saidi, a distinguished engineer at AWS, likened the speed to a machine reading 100 music CDs a second. Graviton4, a central processing unit, or CPU, is one of many chip products that come from Amazon's Annapurna Labs in Austin, Texas. The chip is a win for the company's custom strategy and puttin

Here are five of my favorite iOS 26 features that you might’ve missed

Apple unveiled iOS 26 last week at WWDC 2025. While Liquid Glass and iPadOS certainly stole the show, there’s a number of smaller features for iPhone users that I think a lot of people will still enjoy, and I’ll be diving into them here. Custom Ringtones get much easier This is certainly a “finally” feature – but for the first time in the 18 year history of the iPhone, you can now set a custom ringtone simply within iOS.

Facebook videos are all just going to be reels now

Facebook is once again rebranding the "video" section of its app. This time, the tab formerly known as " video ," which was also once called " watch ," will become "reels." The change comes as the company says that all video on the social network will now fall under the umbrella of "reels" regardless of how long the clip is or how it was shot. According to Meta , the change will make things simpler for users and creators sharing video clips on the platform. Previously, users had to decide wheth

Peak Design's new tripods take aim at the professional set

Peak Design is building on the success of its innovative Travel Tripod. The photography accessory maker is launching a new Pro Tripod on Kickstarter. The latest model comes in three flavors: Pro Lite, Pro and Pro Tall. As you might expect, their prices dwarf that of the (already expensive) Travel Tripod. The Pro Tripod is scaled up for greater stiffness and maximum height. It has stronger legs, an all-CNC-machined hub and a flanged center column. This results in double the weight capacity of the
