It’s been a big week for iPhone Fold rumors, but a reputable leaker just posted iPhone 18 Pro updates related to two potential design changes.

Spotify has introduced a new universal switch for making the app all about audio. No, it’s not a toggle for hiding podcasts and audiobooks, but it does turn off almost all videos.

If you’ve thought the MacBook Neo could be for you, but the 512GB maximum storage size wasn’t enough, a YouTuber may have good news for you.

They carried out a DIY upgrade to swap out the SSD for a 1TB one, which is also faster than the stock one supplied in the device …

I said a couple of years ago that AI hardware devices were like trying to invent the iPod after the iPhone. Two former Apple engineers appear to have leaned into this with an AI button that bears more than a passing resemblance to an iPod shuffle.

While the AI wearable does address the horrendous privacy problem created by its erstwhile competitors, the duo still haven’t provided a convincing explanation as to why it isn’t an app …

There’s an iPhone Fold unboxing video doing the rounds, and at first glance it does look rather convincing, with none of the usual signs immediately pointing to an AI-generated fake.

However, there’s one rather large giveaway that it’s not the real thing, and that provides a clue as to how it was produced …

Apple has moved to obtain internal Samsung data from South Korea in its ongoing antitrust fight with the U.S. government over alleged monopoly practices. Here are the details.

Apple’s Self Service Repair Store was updated today to offer several standalone repair parts for recently released products, including the repair-friendly MacBook Neo. Here are the details.

iOS 26.4.1 is available today. While the official release notes were vague, a thread on the developer forums indicates it actually fixes a significant bug related to iCloud data syncing.

Developers had noticed that iPhones running 26.4 would stop receiving iCloud change notifications, which impacted cloud data sync for apps that use CloudKit framework, including Apple’s own Passwords app. Apple has now addressed this regression with the just-released iOS 26.4.1 version.

iPadOS 26 introduced a brand new windowing system for apps, and recently iPadOS 26.4 added a key enhancement that multi-window power users should appreciate.

Update 4:51 p.m. ET: iOS 26.4.1 fixes an iCloud syncing bug that impacted Apple’s apps as well as many third-party apps. The update also enables Stolen Device Protection for enterprise devices.

Apple has released iOS 26.4.1 for iPhone users today alongside iPadOS 26.4.1 for iPad. The update comes just over two weeks after the release of iOS 26.4.

Update April 8: Amazon has brought back new inventory of the 512GB model 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro in space black for $1,399.97. This is a great deal if you want a brand new machine and not a refurbished laptop.

Apple has added the plain M5 MacBook Pro to its refurbished store for a discounted price. However, the base storage change from last month means the value compared to new discounted hardware might not be as competitive as usual.

Following last month’s release of iOS 26.4, Apple is now beta testing iOS 26.5. The update will likely be released to everyone next month. Here are all the details on new features and changes on the way for iPhone users with iOS 26.5.

Journaling app Day One has reconfigured its subscription to include a more premium “Gold” plan with AI summaries and a Daily Chat feature.

If you own an older Kindle device (2012 or prior), Amazon has announced that starting next month, you’ll be cut off from downloading new books unless you upgrade to a newer model. Here are the details.

CarPlay just got new features in iOS 26.4, plus some exciting new apps, but one of my favorite recent features is an Apple Music change in iOS 26 that’s perfect for the car. Here’s how to use it.

Llama is out; Muse Spark is in. Meta has unveiled its rebooted AI efforts with a new model it calls Muse Spark.

Unlike Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Preview announcement yesterday, Muse Spark is actually available publicly today.

We also have Apple’s new 2026 model 16-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro back to its best price to date at up to $199 off joining the Apple Watch Ultra 3 price drops. On top of that, we are getting another shot at the rare deals on official black Apple USB-C cables from just over $7. Head below for a closer look at everything.

Apple Wallet got a lot of new features with iOS 26, but another key improvement is that car key support keeps expanding to more vehicle brands. Here are the recent and upcoming major car key launches.

The spacesuits worn by the Artemis II crew during their moon mission have a feature completely new to space missions – an iPhone. Each has a pocket containing an iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Apple TV’s next crime thriller is the return of Criminal Record, with season 2 premiering later this month—here’s the new trailer.

The report also says that Samsung has taken advantage of its technological lead in advanced folding displays to win a major concession from Apple …

The FBI says that a sharp rise in scams saw cybersecurity crime cost US victims a total of almost $21 billion last year. The most common example was investment scams, with cryptocurrency fraud responsible for the largest losses.

I love Apple Arcade. The game catalog really clicks with my son, and a single subscription unlocks hundreds of premium games. The best part is that the games have no ads or in-app purchases.

Apple researchers have published details of SQUIRE, an experimental AI-powered tool that helped developers explore and refine interface ideas with more control than with typical AI coding tools. Here are the details.

I would argue that Apple currently has its best MacBook lineup it’s ever offered. Since the release of the MacBook Neo, they now have a really strong option at every price point. But at the same time, there is a slight awkward issue. The MacBook Neo is now the default recommendation for anyone who just wants a Mac laptop, and if you need Pro-level features and hardware, you go with the MacBook Pro. So where does that leave the M5 MacBook Air? Who is the target customer now? The MacBook Air is no longer the de facto entry-level computer, but it’s also not as powerful as the Pro-level MacBooks, so who should buy the MacBook Air?

My iPhone stays on silent most of the time, but a new iOS 26 ringtone has strongly tempted me to rethink that choice because it’s such a pleasant tune. Here’s my new favorite iPhone ringtone.

For the vast majority of people, CarPlay is a must-have. Apple’s in-car experience provides a vastly superior infotainment experience than most options from carmakers. There’s quick access to your favorite apps, integration with Siri, seamless connectivity, and more.

Here are all of my favorite tips and tricks for making sure you’re getting the most out of your CarPlay experience…

AI is now being used to make software more secure.

Anthropic announced a new initiative called Project Glasswing that includes Apple as a partner. As part of Glasswing, Anthropic is sharing a preview of its newly unveiled Claude Mythos model with select partners, including Apple.

Anthropic says Mythos has found “thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities” in “every major operating system and web browser.”

Update April 7, 2026, 4 p.m. ET: The shortcuts API has been fixed and should work with no issues. Here is the link: Artemis II image shortcut

You might have seen in the news recently that for the first time in over 50 years, we have sent humans to circle the moon. On April 1st, NASA launched Artemis II with four astronauts on a test mission to orbit the moon and prepare for a later mission to land on the moon. We have already reached the far side of the moon and seen some amazing imagery from Artemis II. Some of the shots have even been taken on an iPhone! NASA has been sharing some latest images on their Flickr page for us to see, and someone even created a shortcut so you can pull these images directly to your device. Here is how!

Apple Vision Pro will soon offer access to a lot more games than ever before, as visionOS is gaining a native Steam Link app. Here’s how you can start using the Steam Link beta today.

Earlier today, a report indicated Apple’s foldable iPhone had hit production snags that could delay it several months. But now Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has rebutted the report, saying the iPhone Fold is “on track” for an expected September launch.

Earlier today we got our first look at a photo of dummy models for iPhone Fold, iPhone 18 Pro, and iPhone 18 Pro Max via Sonny Dickson. But now, a video has arrived to offer another look at what’s coming.

You can also refresh your Magic Mouse for 2026 back at the $64 Amazon low today, the lowest price to date on the medium-size black Apple Watch Ultra 3 with the Milanese Loop at $99 off, and plenty of notable discounts on Anker charging gear. Head below for a closer look.

Apple TV has just announced the release date for Dark Matter season 2, the highly anticipated return of a beloved sci-fi hit.

The new MacBook Neo has apparently been a smash hit, and Apple will likely talk up its success at its next quarterly earnings call. But, in what can be considered a good problem to have, Apple is facing a bit of a supply chain predicament. Its stock of A18 Pro chips — the previous-gen iPhone processor that powers the Neo — is reportedly running low according to respected analyst Tim Culpan.

One of the ways Apple got the price of the Neo down was by using leftover, binned, A18 Pro chips that were originally destined for life inside iPhone 16 Pro. If it needs to ramp up production again, though, the laptop’s margins will be squeezed.

Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected to launch this fall, and a notable leaker says that inside sources indicate the name won’t be ‘iPhone Fold,’ but rather ‘iPhone Ultra.’

Spotify Prompted Playlists were first launched in New Zealand late last year before rolling out to the US and Canada in January. The feature lets you use natural language to describe what you want to hear, and the streaming service will create an AI-powered music playlist to match.

Reported problems with the engineering test phase for the iPhone Fold could delay the launch of Apple’s most expensive phone by months. This could potentially mean that it doesn’t go on sale until next year.

Multiple sources are cited, with suppliers warned that they may need to delay production of components for the new device …

Reliable leaker Sonny Dickson today posted a photo of dummy units showing the final size of the iPhone Fold next to iPhone 18 Pro Max and iPhone 18 Pro Max.

It provides 5 watts of power to your AirPods, making it a nice add-on for people who do not need to charge an Apple Watch at their desk, but do want to keep everything else topped off.

iOS 26 brought a major new Liquid Glass design that, in some cases, led to user reports of slower iPhone performance. But Daring Fireball’s John Gruber recently went back to iOS 18 after a long time on iOS 26, and had a surprisingly different experience.

Apple released iOS 26.4 for iPhone last month with new emoji, updates to Apple Music, and more. Now, the company is prepping a bug fix update, and it looks like iOS 26.4.1 is coming soon.

Netflix has released a new iPhone and iPad app called Netflix Playground. Similar to Apple Arcade, the new Netflix Playground app includes ad-free games with no in-app purchase content.

It’s no surprise that the iPhone is behind the iconic shot of Earth from NASA’s Artemis II lunar flyby mission. It turns out the iPhone isn’t the only Apple product being used by astronauts in space.

I have avoided the AirPods Max since their original release in 2020. I could never justify the $550 price tag, especially when the AirPods Pro line was much cheaper, offered more features, and had a more convenient form factor. I knew there was a target customer for these high-end headphones, but at the time, it wasn’t me. Then Apple dropped the true successor to the Gen 1 AirPods Max and added a lot of the features and internal hardware that the AirPods Pro 3 received earlier in 2025. So I decided to pick up a pair, and while the AirPods Max 2 are objectively great headphones, what it truly did was show me just how incredible the AirPods Pro 3 are. Let me explain.

Apple TV just released the trailer for Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, a new dark comedy coming next month with thriller flair.

Today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is ready to go and it is starting with a bang – the brand new M5 MacBook Air lineup just hit the best prices ever at up to $149 off via Amazon.

There’s no shortage of rumors about iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Fold, but surprisingly little has been reported about Apple’s other upcoming flagships. However, new leaks detail what to expect from iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2’s design and launch timing.

The iPhone Fold is coming later this year, and per a notable leaker, the brand new model just hit a major milestone that’s good news for launch timing.

The next Apple Shot on iPhone ad campaign is writing itself: the four NASA astronauts currently on the Artemis || mission are taking stunning shots of Earth, using iPhone 17 Pro Max.

As confirmed on NASA’s official Flickr page, three of the published shots were taken on iPhone. The images show Earth through the window of the Orion spaceship’s capsule.

Shrinking is one of Apple TV’s biggest hits, and it’s set to conclude its third season in just a few days. Here’s what to expect from the show going forward, according to co-creator Bill Lawrence.

Amazon is now offering the best prices ever on the M5 MacBook Air on both the 13-inch and 15-inch models at up to $149 off. While not all configurations and colorways are seeing the new all-time lows, several options are now at the lowest price we have tracked since release last month. 

The current 14-inch MacBook Pro design is nearing five years old. It’s also not at all a secret that Apple is working on a redesign for its MacBook Pro lineup.

Despite those facts though, there’s still one compelling argument to be made about buying one today – even with bigger changes right around the horizon.

This story is part of 9to5Mac’s series celebrating Apple’s 50th anniversary.

Apple often likes to say that it isn’t a nostalgic company, but they’ve gone all out to celebrate their 50th birthday. The company recently opened an exhibition on campus displaying some of their most iconic products from over the years alongside photographs of memorable moments. There’s even a large screen that plays iconic ads and keynote moments like the 1984 commercial and the opening of the Steve Jobs theater. Thanks to Meriam Al Sultan on X, we all can get a look at the exhibit.

Last month, Apple acquired a popular Final Cut Pro plugin maker: MotionVFX. It isn’t clear what this acquisition will turn into, but based on the fact that it quickly followed the launch of Apple Creator Studio, it’s highly plausible that Apple will integrate its templates, effects, and other offerings as a perk of Apple Creator Studio.

While that on its own is interesting, I think the implication behind it is far more worth talking about.

I’ve had the MacBook Neo for a month, and it’s been an absolute pleasure to use. The Neo has been one of the more exciting new Apple products in a while. It gives you insane value, amazing build quality, and great performance, especially for the price. But to get the price down to $599, Apple had to make some compromises. To elevate my experience a bit, I added a few budget-friendly accessories that I think anyone can add to their MacBook Neo setup!
