    ChatGPT now works right inside Xcode and VS Code on Mac

    OpenAI has made its ChatGPT app for macOS even better by letting it edit code straight in popular tools like Xcode, VS Code, and JetBrains software. With this update, you don’t need to copy and paste code anymore. ChatGPT can now look at your code in these programs and change it right there. It’s simple and saves time.

    There’s also an “auto-apply” option. When turned on, ChatGPT makes the edits for you without extra steps. Alexander Embiricos, who works on OpenAI’s product team, showed how it works on social media. He said Windows users will get this feature soon, too.

    Right now, only people with ChatGPT Plus, Pro, or Team plans can use this if they update their macOS app. OpenAI says everyone else—Enterprise, Education, and free users—will get it next week.
    This new trick builds on something ChatGPT started testing last November.

    Back then, it could read code from these apps but couldn’t change it. Now, it can do both. This update puts ChatGPT up against other AI coding helpers like GitHub Copilot and Apple’s Swift Assist, which already let you edit code directly in similar ways.

  • iPhone 17 Pro Max to get thicker for a bgger battery

    iPhone 17 Pro Max to get thicker for a bgger battery

    Apple is making the iPhone 17 Pro Max a bit thicker than the current iPhone 16 Pro Max, according to a Chinese tipster named Ice Universe. The new iPhone 17 Pro Max is said to measure 8.725mm thick, compared to 8.25mm for the iPhone 16 Pro Max. That’s a small jump of 0.475mm. The leaker believes this extra space is “definitely” for a larger battery. Other than the thickness, the phone’s body is expected to stay the same as the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

    So far, there haven’t been any whispers about better battery life or size changes for the iPhone 17 Pro Max. If Ice Universe is right, this could be fresh news for Apple fans. The iPhone 17 Pro models are also rumored to sport a big rectangular camera bump with rounded edges. However, Apple seems to be keeping the triangle setup for the back camera lenses.

    For its high-end phones, Apple might switch to an aluminum frame instead of the titanium one used in the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro. The back of these devices could also feature a new look, blending aluminum and glass. Ice Universe added that the iPhone 17 Pro Max and the super-slim iPhone 17 Air will have the same size, except for their thickness, which will differ. This tweak in design could mean longer battery life for users, something many iPhone lovers would welcome. We’ll have to wait and see if these rumors hold true when Apple reveals the iPhone 17 lineup!

  • iPhone 17 Air and 17 Pro Max: Same size, different thickness

    iPhone 17 Air and 17 Pro Max: Same size, different thickness

    Apple’s upcoming super-slim iPhone 17 Air is said to match the iPhone 17 Pro Max in size, except for how thick each phone is, according to a tip from leaker Ice Universe.

    Comparing iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 17 Air

    On their Weibo page, the Chinese leaker shared that the iPhone 17 Air and iPhone 17 Pro Max have the same length, width, screen size, and edges. “The only thing that’s different is the thickness,” they explained. “The iPhone 17 Air is just 5.5mm thick, while the iPhone 17 Pro Max is 8.725mm thick.”

    If this is true, it also means the iPhone 17 Pro Max will be quite a bit thicker than the current iPhone 16 Pro Max. We’ve heard about the iPhone 17 Air’s slim 5.5mm body before, but Ice Universe’s info shakes things up compared to older rumors. Last year, screen expert Ross Young said the iPhone 17 Air would have a 6.55-inch display, or about 6.6 inches when rounded up.

    However, YouTube creator Jon Prosser disagreed last month, saying the iPhone 17 Air will come with a bigger 6.7-inch screen. (Young later stuck to his 6.55-inch prediction.) If Prosser’s right, that still doesn’t match the 6.9-inch screen expected for the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Apple bumped up the screen sizes for the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max last year, and they’re likely staying the same for the iPhone 17 Pro models. Ice Universe added that the iPhone 17 Pro Max’s frame is unchanged, “just like the iPhone 16 Pro Max.”

    iPhone 17 Pro Max vs. iPhone 17 Air

    • Thickness: 8.73mm vs. 5.55mm
    • Height: 163mm vs. 163mm
    • Width: 77.6mm vs. 77.6mm
    • Screen: 6.9″ (174mm) vs. 6.9″ (174mm)
    • Edge: 1.15mm vs. 1.15mm

    Ice Universe has a good track record, correctly leaking iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max sizes in the past. Still, we’re keeping a cautious eye on this rumor until more people back it up. Apple should reveal the iPhone 17 family around mid-September, as usual.

  • This handy Apple Notes tricks makes jotting down ideas a breeze

    This handy Apple Notes tricks makes jotting down ideas a breeze

    Whether you use Apple Notes a lot or just now and then, you might not have noticed a cool new tool that came with iOS 18. It’s all about making note-taking super simple. With the ability to record audio, plus get transcripts and short summaries, Apple Notes has become a go-to for saving thoughts on your iPhone, iPad, or other devices.

    Audio Recordings and Transcripts Do the Hard Work for You

    Apple Notes has come a long way from its early days.

    • Back then, it was just a basic app for typing simple stuff. But with regular updates, it’s turned into a handy, feature-filled tool.
    • One new thing in iOS 18 stands out, even though Apple doesn’t make a big fuss about it.
    • When you’re in a note, tap the attachment button on the toolbar, and you’ll spot a ‘Record Audio’ option.
    • This lets you easily record things like a work meeting, a school lecture, or even your voice memos.
    • Once you’re done, the recording sits right in the note alongside your text, pictures, or doodles.
    • What makes this feature extra awesome is the transcription part.
    • With iOS 18, Apple Notes can turn your recording into written words—sometimes even as you’re still recording.
    • And it gets better! If your device works with AI, you’ll also get a quick summary of what was said, thanks to Apple Intelligence.

    In short, Apple Notes now handles everything for you:

    • It records the audio from your meeting or class.
    • It gives you a transcript to check later.
    • It sums up the key points in a snap.

    No more scrambling to type every word during a busy session. This little trick takes the stress out of note-taking and keeps everything neat and easy to find.

  • Apple’s new smart home device teased in tvOS 18.4 Beta

    Apple’s new smart home device teased in tvOS 18.4 Beta

    The latest tvOS 18.4 beta update has dropped some exciting clues about Apple’s upcoming smart home hub. People at MacRumors spotted something called the ChatKit framework in the tvOS code. This is interesting because neither Apple TV nor HomePod has a Messages app right now.

    The ChatKit feature in tvOS 18.4 brings things like reactions and alerts for iMessage tapbacks—think “John didn’t like this” or “Sara added a heart.” These don’t make sense for Apple TV or HomePod, which both use tvOS. But the new smart home hub, also running on tvOS, might use them.

    This “command center” Apple is working on could come with built-in apps, and Messages might be one of them. Since tvOS and iOS share some code, this ChatKit addition could just be a carryover from iOS. Still, it’s new to tvOS with this beta, so it’s worth paying attention to.

    Apple’s smart home device will be a control center for your connected gadgets. Beyond that, it’ll handle video calls, photo viewing, web browsing, music, news, and more. Picture a tiny iPad—just six inches wide—with a sleek, all-screen look. You could place it on a table or hang it on a wall, and it might pop up in multiple spots around your home. It’ll also have sensors to check the room’s temperature or notice when someone’s nearby.

    There’s no set launch date yet, but rumors point to sometime between April and September 2025. This little gadget could be a game-changer for Apple fans who want a smarter, more connected home. For now, the tvOS 18.4 beta is keeping us guessing about what’s next!

  • New iPhone 16 Pro ad highlights audio mix with a brazilian carnival tune

    New iPhone 16 Pro ad highlights audio mix with a brazilian carnival tune

    Apple dropped a fresh iPhone 16 Pro advertisement this weekend, and it’s a real treat. To showcase the Audio Mix feature, they filmed a music video using the new iPhone, blending it with the lively spirit of the Brazilian Carnival.

    A Carnival Vibe for the iPhone 16 Pro

    The track, “Brasil em Cena,” sung by Brazilian artist Nilze Carvalho and composed by Jair Oliveira, brings energy to the ad. Apple says the video “honors Brazilian cinema with one of the world’s most exciting music styles” and pays respect to Brazil’s rich culture, where Carnival and movies come together for a memorable tale.

    The Audio Mix tool lets iPhone 16 and 16 Pro users tweak sound in cool ways. You can quiet down noises or voices that aren’t in the shot, cut out background echoes, or shift all voices to sound like they’re coming from the front for a movie-like effect. Plus, you can adjust the audio even after recording.

    In Brazil, this ad aired on TV during the 2025 Oscars, where the country cheered its first-ever win with “I’m Still Here” taking the Best International Feature Film award.

    Carnival Fun on Apple’s Brazilian Site

    To keep the Carnival party going, Apple spruced up its Brazil website with a festive look. Products like the new iPhone 16e and AirPods 4 pop up with confetti all around. They’ve also added a special Carnival playlist section on Apple Music for fans to enjoy.

    Apple’s Carnival Tradition

    This isn’t Apple’s first Carnival-inspired ad. They’ve done it before, like with the iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone X promotions, showing their love for Brazil’s colorful celebration.
    With this latest ad, Apple mixes cutting-edge tech with Brazil’s joyful vibes, making the iPhone 16 Pro stand out in style.

  • iFixit explores iPhone 16e and its new C1 Modem

    iFixit explores iPhone 16e and its new C1 Modem

    iFixit recently posted a teardown video where they carefully took apart the iPhone 16e to check out what’s inside. The iPhone 16e comes with a handy feature: its battery glue can loosen up with a small jolt of electricity, just like the other iPhone 16 models. This makes swapping out the battery a bit easier.

    A previous teardown showed that the iPhone 16e has a 15.55 Wh battery, which is larger than the 13.83 Wh one in earlier models. iFixit explains that Apple fit this bigger battery because the phone’s single-lens back camera leaves extra room inside.

    The teardown also gives us a good peek at Apple’s new C1 modem, tucked under the RF board. It looks a lot like the Qualcomm X71M modem, with a 4nm design and some memory built in. However, the 7nm signal boosters are separate from the modem itself.

    iFixit wasn’t too happy with some of Apple’s choices, though. For example, fixing the USB-C port is a hassle because you have to take out everything inside the phone first. Still, they gave a nod to some repair-friendly updates. Thanks to changes in iOS, parts pairing isn’t as strict anymore.

    Plus, there’s a small metal piece that keeps a delicate cable safe when you open the phone, which is a nice touch. In short, while the iPhone 16e isn’t perfect for repairs, it’s moving in a better direction with these small but helpful tweaks.

  • Apple rolls out new test updates for Vision Pro, Apple TV, Watch, Mac, and iPhone

    Apple rolls out new test updates for Vision Pro, Apple TV, Watch, Mac, and iPhone

    Apple has just shared the second test versions (betas) of new software updates with developers. These updates include visionOS 2.4 for Vision Pro, tvOS 18.4 for Apple TV, watchOS 11.4 for Apple Watch, macOS Sequoia 15.4 for Mac, and iOS 18.4 for iPhone. This comes two weeks after the first test versions were released. Developers can grab these updates through the Settings app on each device if they’re signed up with Apple.

    The Vision Pro’s visionOS 2.4 update stands out because it adds Apple Intelligence features for the first time. These include tools for writing, creating custom emojis, making memory videos, editing images, sorting notifications, and connecting with ChatGPT. There’s also a new Spatial Gallery app showing off cool 3D videos, photos, and panoramas from artists and creators.

    Plus, a Vision Pro app for iPhone lets users manage their headset, find apps, and add stuff to a watch list. With iOS 18.4, your iPhone can set up a Guest Mode for Vision Pro, letting others try it easily while you control what they see. These updates will launch fully in early April.

    For Mac users, macOS Sequoia 15.4 brings a smarter Mail app that sorts emails into categories like deals, news, and important messages. Apple News+ fans get a new food section with recipes and restaurant stories, while Photos gains memory video options. Apple Intelligence also adds support for more languages. This update will roll out in early April, too.

    On the iPhone side, iOS 18.4 beta now works on iPhone 12 models and the new iPhone 16e after fixing a glitch that caused some devices to freeze. It also brings Visual Intelligence to iPhone 15 Pro models—a feature that uses the camera to explain objects or places around you.

    New emojis like tired eyes, a shovel, and a fingerprint are included too, along with quick Apple Intelligence shortcuts in Control Center. These updates show Apple’s focus on making devices smarter and easier to use. Full releases are planned for early April, giving everyone a chance to enjoy the changes soon!

  • Apple park’s colorful arches are coming back stronger

    Apple park’s colorful arches are coming back stronger

    The bright rainbow arches that once framed the Apple Park Stage are no longer there, as shown in recent Google Maps satellite photos. These arches were a familiar sight in Apple’s keynote videos, so their removal caught many by surprise. However, word is they’re not gone for good—Apple is reportedly planning to rebuild them, this time to last forever.

    Back in May 2019, Jony Ive, a key figure at Apple, shared the vision for these arches in a message to employees. He wrote that the goal was to design a stage that screamed “Apple” the moment you saw it. The rainbow idea clicked right away for a few reasons. It tied back to the classic rainbow logo that’s been part of Apple’s story for years. Plus, it’s a cheerful symbol of the company’s belief in bringing people together. Ive also loved how the arches’ curved shape echoed the circular design of Apple Park itself. He said it’s tough to find anyone who doesn’t smile at a rainbow.

    The stage itself was always meant to be temporary—set up and taken down for big events—while the arches stayed put. Now, Gabriel Iglesias from Ibsix has a hunch they’ll return soon. His take? The original arches weren’t built to last forever and were made with temporary use. But they’ve grown into such a beloved landmark that Apple might want them to stick around for good. The plan seems to be crafting a tougher, sturdier version.

    So, while the rainbow arches are missing for now, it looks like they’re gearing up for a big comeback—ready to shine as a permanent part of Apple Park’s landscape. Fans of the colorful design can likely look forward to seeing them again, bolder and better than before.
