You might change the color of your iPhone 15 simply by holding it.
In a support document Thursday, Apple indicated that fingerprints might “temporarily alter the color” of the titanium frame the company uses on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, MacRumors reports. A number of social media posts called out the issue this week.
It's Apple season once again. We can always count on Apple to announce the newest iPhone model in September. This year’s event is almost upon us, and the company is expected to unveil its lineup of iPhone 15 models, as well as at least a couple of new Apple Watches during a livestreamed showcase this week. We should also see some announcements on software and services, and maybe even some other hardware accessories and tidbits.
Apple has released security updates for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS today to fix actively exploited zero-day security flaws that can be used to install malware via a "maliciously crafted image" or attachment. The iOS 16.6.1, iPadOS 16.6.1, macOS 13.5.2, and watchOS 9.6.2 updates patch the flaws across all of Apple's platforms. As of this writing, no updates have been released for older versions like iOS 15 or macOS 12.
Devices like the Flipper Zero can send out pre-programmed radio signals that can cause an iPhone to open a disruptive interface, effectively being attacked into temporary uselessness.
Apple products like the iPhone have various communication tools like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, and Ultra Wideband to make pairing and using accessories easier. These tools are what make systems like AirDrop and fast AirPods pairing possible.
One of your Mac's built-in malware detection tools may not be working quite as well as you think. At the Defcon hacker conference in Las Vegas, longtime Mac security researcher Patrick Wardle presented findings on Saturday about vulnerabilities in Apple's macOS Background Task Management mechanism, which could be exploited to bypass and, therefore, defeat the company's recently added monitoring tool.
Apple is taking several steps to help developers prepare their apps for Apple's new Vision Pro platform next year, above and beyond the Vision Pro simulator that comes with the Xcode development environment. One of those steps is actual pre-release hardware in the form of the Apple Vision Pro developer kit (DK).
Apple has built its own large language model (LLM) AI framework and associated chatbot service similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Bard, and Microsoft's ChatGPT-based Bing Chat, according to a new report.
Apple has been forced to make drastic cuts to production forecasts for the mixed-reality Vision Pro headset, unveiled last month after seven years in development and hailed as its most significant product launch since the iPhone.
Going into the Vision Pro demo room at Apple’s WWDC conference, I wasn’t sure what to expect. The keynote presentation, which showed everything from desktop productivity apps to dinosaurs circling a Vision Pro user in space, seemed impressive, but augmented reality promotional videos often do.
Technically, each year's Apple Watch includes a processor upgrade. The Apple Watch Series 8 comes with an Apple S8 processor, which is a larger number than the S7 SoC that came with the Series 7 or the S6 that came with the Series 6.
However, none of those processors has actually provided much by way of a performance upgrade; they all seem to use an identical processor with a CPU architecture based on the Apple 13 (presumably the small, energy-efficient cores) and a 7 nm manufacturing process from TSMC.
