UK backing down on Apple encryption backdoor after pressure from US

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-06 19:30:09

Sir Keir Starmer’s government is seeking a way out of a clash with the Trump administration over the UK’s demand that Apple provide it with access to secure customer data, two senior British officials have told the Financial Times. The officials both said the Home Office, which ordered the tech giant in January to grant access to its most secure cloud storage system, would probably have to retreat in the face of pressure from senior leaders in Washington, including Vice President JD Vance. “Th

Act surprised: Apple is soon expected to formally kick off development of iOS 27. This year, Apple will have a big task: updating the iOS experience in preparation for its most radical new iPhone yet. Details are unclear, but iOS 27 will unsurprisingly focus heavily on optimizing software for Apple’s first foldable iPhone. This will include new features specifically for the iPhone Fold as well as ensuring that iOS as we know it today is optimized for the new form factor. In the latest edition

During WWDC25, Apple announced new versions of its on-device and cloud-based foundation models. Now, they have published a tech report detailing how those models were trained, optimized, and evaluated. And the report includes some genuinely interesting under-the-hood tidbits. In a comprehensive document called “Apple Intelligence Foundation Language Models – Tech Report 2025“, the company walks through multiple aspects of the new models, including their architecture, data sources, pre-training,

British government set to back down on secret iCloud backdoor after US pressure

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-08-07 08:16:30

We learned earlier this year that the British government had secretly ordered Apple to create a backdoor into encrypted data for all iCloud users worldwide. Specifically, it wanted a way to see personal data protected by Apple’s introduction of Advanced Data Protection (ADP), which extended end-to-end encryption to almost all iCloud data, meaning not even the iPhone maker could access it. Apple has been fighting the secret order in secret court hearings, but it now appears that the US governmen

Here’s how Apple Intelligence keeps privacy in mind versus the competition

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-08-07 01:10:43

Artificial intelligence has obviously been the industry craze for the past couple years. While large language models are incredibly capable, they’ve always come with a bit of a compromise: privacy. Ultimately, you’re still using a model hosted in the cloud, and all of your conversations are stored on some server. Apple’s always had privacy at the core of its products – so in the months leading up to the debut of Apple’s AI features, many people wondered: how would Apple handle it? Today, we del

Apple's next iPad Pro will reportedly get two front-facing cameras

engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-07 02:20:42

The iPad Pro with the M5 chip is expected to be just as easy to use for selfies in a landscape or portrait orientation. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple will add a second front-facing camera on the portrait edge of the upcoming iPad Pro that's expected to launch later this year. It may seem like a small quality-of-life upgrade, but it means the iPad Pro can use either camera to center the subject for selfies or FaceTime calls.

Java was not underhyped in 1997 (2021)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-03 12:37:50

Java Criminally Underhyped? Not Back in 1997. Earlier today, a fun little moment of Twitter serendipity alerted me to an article by Jackson Roberts, a computer science student at the University of Colorado, entitled “Java is criminally underhyped”. It’s a really interesting article, and Jackson’s observations correlate with a lot of my own thinking about languages and platforms, although I am squarely in the .NET / CLR camp on that particular front.

Renewed iPad Pros pair nicely with iPadOS 26, and they’re quite affordable right now

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-08-06 21:01:30

A short while ago, I was browsing Apple deals on Amazon (as one does) – and something stuck out to me. High-end iPad Pros, particularly 12.9-inch models, are surprisingly cheap. I saw M1 models with 1TB and cellular for nearly $600. Given the recent iPadOS 26 overhaul that makes the iPad much more Mac-like, I figured these deals would be worth a share. While renewed iPad deals are the focus here because of their affordability, new iPad deals are also mentioned at the end. Renewed M1 iPad Pro d
