One of the reasons many people pick one of the best iPhones over their Android counterparts is due to security. However, that could be changing as the first ever banking trojan designed to target iPhone users has been spotted in the wild.

According to a new report from Group-IB, the Android trojan GoldDigger has now been modified with new capabilities that make it easier for this malware to drain victims’ bank accounts. First discovered last October, the trojan's new variation has been dubbed GoldPickaxe, with versions specifically designed for both Android and iOS devices.

If you’ve spent any time in the tech-enthusiast corners of Instagram of TikTok over the past few weeks, you’ve seen the videos: so-called tech bros strolling through public spaces with confidence, donning Apple’s $3,500 Vision Pro headset on their faces while gesturing into the air.

Dive into the comments on those videos and you’ll see a consistent ratio: about 20 percent of the commenters herald this as the future, and the other 80 mock it with vehement derision. “I’ve never had as much desire to disconnect from reality as this guy does,” one reads.

The Vision Pro is the strangest product Apple has introduced in the time I've been covering the company. By now, it's well established that the headset is both impressively cutting-edge and ludicrously expensive.

You could certainly argue that its price means it’s only for Silicon Valley techno-optimists with too much money to burn or for developers looking to get in on the ground floor on the chance that this is the next gold rush for apps. But the platform will need more than those users to succeed.

I spent a little more than 30 minutes wearing the Apple Vision Pro today, and I saw the future of computing. The impressive technology in Apple's upcoming mixed-reality headset lays the groundwork for what's to come, but I am at a crossroads. I'm not sold on the bulky headset.

A report of an Apple GPU security flaw has been confirmed by the company, acknowledging that the iPhone 12 and M2 MacBook Air are affected.

An exploit has been demonstrated by security researchers, which would allow an attacker to view data processed by the chip, including the results of things like ChatGPT queries …

Apple's highly anticipated mixed-reality Vision Pro headset will be available starting on February 2 at US retail Apple locations and on the Apple Store website, the company announced this morning. Preorders for the $3,499 "spatial computing" headset will start on January 19 at 5 am PST.

The next year or two will be a turning point for people who bought into the last few generations of Intel Macs. AppleCare+ subscriptions will expire, batteries will begin to lose a noticeable amount of capacity, software updates and security fixes will gradually dry up, and normal wear and tear will slowly take its toll.

Apple is squeezing one more round of product announcements into October after all. The company announced today that it would be streaming a product event at 5 pm Pacific/8 pm Eastern on October 30, unusually late in the day (and in the month) for an Apple event. The "Scary Fast" tagline doesn't give away anything about what Apple plans to announce, but both history and well-sourced Apple reporters and analysts suggest that the company will focus mostly on the Mac.

Over the past few days, there have been many conflicting rumors and reports, some from usually reliable sources, about Apple's plans for the next wave of iPad updates. But on close examination, the rumors may not be as contradictory as they seem.

When Apple released its statement about iPhone 15 Pro overheating issues earlier this week, the company indicated that an iOS update would be able to partially address that issue. That update has arrived today in the form of iOS 17.0.3, an update which claims to address "an issue that may cause iPhone to run warmer than expected," as well as patching a pair of security exploits.
