Ever wonder what malware macOS can detect and remove without help from third-party software? Apple continuously adds new malware detection rules to Mac’s built-in XProtect suite. While most rule names (signatures) are obfuscated, with a bit of reversing engineering, security researchers can map them to their common industry names. In this edition of 9to5Mac Security Bite, I revisit a story I started working on in May of 2024. Because Apple is continuously adding new modules to its XProtect suit

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET One of the most important aspects of a desktop for me is efficiency. I need an OS that makes it easy to work with multiple windows open in a way that is effortless and painless. The MacOS desktop is an outstanding option for users of all types. It is elegant, simple to use, and rock solid. MacOS did not have built-in window snapping for the longest time, which was a glaring omission, especially given that most operating systems have had built-in windo

Something to look forward to: Even though iPadOS is considered a great operating system for the tablet form factor, it still falls short in several areas compared to a full desktop OS. But that could change with the launch of iPadOS 19, which will reportedly see the slate's software more closely aligned with macOS. According to Bloomberg's expert on all things Apple-related, Mark Gurman, a key theme of Apple's upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is likely to be iPad software. Writi

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is planning to make its upcoming iPadOS 19 overhaul “more like macOS.” This comes after many, many years of complaints about the capability of the iPad’s operating system.
