If you live in the European Union and visit Apple’s website today, you’ll notice a new information snippet alongside iPhones and iPads: colorful energy labels grading each model’s efficiency, durability, and repairability. This change isn’t voluntary, but rather Apple’s compliance with a new EU regulation that just went into effect. The new labels assign each device a grade from A to G for energy efficiency and durability factors, including impact resistance and repairability. But Apple being

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-03-08 06:23:00

According to leaker Majin Bu, Apple is experimenting with two new colors for this year’s iPhone 17 base models, but only one might make it to launch. And if the current internal scuttlebutt is anything to go by, there seems to be a frontrunner. Purple vs. Green Bu’s sources say that Purple and Green are currently in development for the aluminum-framed iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Plus, but Apple will likely pick just one of them for the final lineup this fall. And Purple is in the lead. As the lea

Apple is continuing to face fallout from its Apple Intelligence rollout. As spotted by Reuters, Apple shareholders have sued Apple in a proposed class action securities fraud case for allegedly “downplaying how long it needed to integrate advanced artificial intelligence into its Siri voice assistant.” The lawsuit alleges that this misrepresentation negatively impacted iPhone sales and Apple’s stock price.

iOS 26 to let third-party apps build their own AirDrop alternative

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-03-08 10:44:48

Apple’s tight grip on local wireless sharing is finally loosening, even if rather reactively. With iOS 26, developers are getting a new API that allows third-party apps to discover and connect nearby devices over Wi-Fi, without needing an internet connection. Here’s how it’ll work. Wi-Fi Aware As observed by iHelpBR, the core of this news boils down to Wi-Fi Aware, which will allow nearby devices to find each other and create a direct peer-to-peer connection over Wi-Fi, even when they’re not o

If you were hoping Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro models would shake up their physical screen sizes, you can extra-officially temper your expectations. But that doesn’t mean the 2026 lineup won’t bring significant shifts in how the front of the iPhone looks. Here’s what may be coming. A new leak from Digital Chat Station on Weibo today says the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will stick with the same display sizes as the current iPhone 16 Pro series: roughly 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches, respectively.

The "USB killer" is dead: Apple drops FireWire support in macOS 26

What just happened? FireWire was Apple's ambitious attempt to establish a novel connectivity technology for its computer ecosystem back in the 90s. Now, Cupertino is unceremoniously removing the standard from its modern operating system capabilities. The recently introduced macOS 26 "Tahoe" will bring a new naming scheme for Apple's operating system ecosystem, novel features, and a highly questionable Vista-like UI redesign. The upcoming release will also mark the end of official support for ou

Apple vs. generative AI: Who needs who?

Tim Cook at Apple WWDC 2025. Jason Hiner/ZDNET One of my editors once told me that a cynic will always sound more rational, but that doesn't mean they're right. French statesman Francois Guizot basically said the same thing from the other POV: "The world belongs to optimists. Pessimists are only spectators." Apple's AI strategy has a lot of cynics and pessimists -- and they sound pretty rational based on what we've seen over the past year. The long-awaited revamp of Siri has never materialized

Apple built a custom camera using iPhone tech to shoot real F1 races

Unfortunately, existing camera technology and strict league regulations didn't allow for the kind of footage the filmmakers envisioned.
