  • Exciting updates coming to your Mac with macOS 15.4

    Exciting updates coming to your Mac with macOS 15.4

    Apple is gearing up to roll out macOS 15.4 next month, bringing some cool new features to your Mac. First up, the Passwords app is getting a handy upgrade. You’ll see a timer for verification codes right in the menu bar, making it easier to know when they expire.

    Another neat addition is Quick Start, a feature iPhone and iPad users already love. It lets you set up a new Mac quickly by scanning a code with your phone to transfer settings. The Mail app is also getting a fresh look with better inbox sorting, and Apple Intelligence will soon support more languages beyond English.

    These updates promise to make your Mac experience smoother and smarter. Meanwhile, Apple’s new Passwords app is stirring up some buzz. Is it good enough to ditch your current password manager? It’s simple to use, with sections for passwords, Wi-Fi logins, and security alerts, all synced across your Apple devices.

    You can even access it on Windows through iCloud. But it’s not perfect—there’s no support for Android or web browsers, and it lacks extras like secure notes or two-factor authentication that apps like 1Password offer. It’s a solid start, especially for beginners, but if you’re used to more advanced tools, it might not fully replace them yet.

    These changes show Apple’s focus on making things easier and safer for users. The macOS 15.4 update, paired with the Passwords app, could be a game-changer for everyday tasks. Whether you’re setting up a new Mac or managing logins, these tools aim to save time and boost security. Still, if you rely on a mix of devices or need more features, you might stick with your trusty password manager for now. Either way, Apple’s latest moves are worth checking out when they land next month!

  • YouTube explains why videos look fuzzy for iPhone users and promises a solution

    YouTube explains why videos look fuzzy for iPhone users and promises a solution

    YouTube recently shared some news about a problem iPhone and iPad users have noticed—videos looking blurry or not as sharp as they should. This issue popped up after the latest iOS update, version 18.4.1, came out. People started complaining that their favorite clips didn’t look clear, even though they were set to high quality. YouTube says they’ve figured out what’s going on and are working to fix it soon.

    The company explained that the trouble comes from how the iOS update handles video playback. The new system messes with the way YouTube’s app shows videos, making them lose some crispness. It’s not about your internet speed or the video itself—it’s a tech glitch between Apple’s update and YouTube’s software. They’ve promised users that a solution is on the way, and things should get back to normal with sharp, clear visuals soon.

    For now, iPhone and iPad fans might notice this fuzziness mostly on high-definition videos, like 1080p or 4K. YouTube suggests sticking with the app since watching videos in a browser like Safari might not help much either. Some users have tried tweaking settings, but that hasn’t solved it yet. The good news? YouTube is already testing a fix, so you won’t have to wait too long.

    This isn’t the first time tech updates have caused little hiccups. When big changes roll out, apps sometimes need a moment to catch up. YouTube’s team is moving fast to smooth things out, and they’ve asked users to hang tight. If you’re seeing blurry videos, don’t worry—it’s not your device or connection.

    Just give it a bit of time, and your movie nights or quick clip sessions will look great again. Until the fix arrives, YouTube says to keep using the app as usual and watch for updates. They’re committed to making sure iOS users get the best experience, with crystal-clear videos back in no time.

  • iPhone 17 Pro to bring more power and better zoom

    iPhone 17 Pro to bring more power and better zoom

    The upcoming iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are set to pack some exciting upgrades, according to analyst Jeff Pu in a note shared with GF Securities this week. One big change is the rear Telephoto camera, which will jump from 12 megapixels on the iPhone 16 Pro to a sharp 48 megapixels.

    This upgrade means all three cameras—Fusion, Ultra Wide, and Telephoto—on these new models will boast 48 megapixels. That’s a win for anyone who loves snapping detailed shots, especially from a distance. Plus, the phones are expected to sport a fresh look with a rectangular camera bump.

    Memory is getting a boost too. The iPhone 17 Pro models will come with 12GB of RAM, compared to 8GB in the iPhone 16 Pro lineup. More RAM should make things run smoother, especially for multitasking or using Apple’s smart features like Apple Intelligence.

    Screen sizes won’t surprise anyone familiar with recent iPhones. The iPhone 17 Pro will stick with a 6.3-inch display, while the Pro Max keeps its larger 6.9-inch screen. Both are sizes people already know and love.

    Under the hood, these phones will run on an A19 Pro chip, built using TSMC’s latest 3nm process called N3P. That’s a fancy way of saying it’s a step up from what’s in the current models, promising better speed and efficiency.

    With these changes, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max sound like they’re shaping up to be powerful tools for photo lovers and tech fans alike. From clearer zoom shots to faster performance, there’s plenty to look forward to when these devices arrive.

  • New iPhone 17 models to get Wi-Fi 7 Chip, Foldable MacBook-iPad mix might use macOS &18 Pro could have C2 modem

    New iPhone 17 models to get Wi-Fi 7 Chip, Foldable MacBook-iPad mix might use macOS &18 Pro could have C2 modem

    All four iPhone 17 models will come with a Wi-Fi 7 chip made by Apple, says Jeff Pu, a tech expert who tracks Apple’s suppliers. In a note shared with GF Securities, Pu explained that Apple finished designing this chip in early 2024. It’s set to appear in the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max later this year.

    The iPhone 16 already has Wi-Fi 7, so that’s not new. What’s exciting is Apple creating its own Wi-Fi chip. Last month, Apple introduced its custom C1 modem for 5G and LTE in the iPhone 16e. Now, it’s moving away from companies like Broadcom for Wi-Fi chips and Qualcomm for modems by building its own tech. This helps Apple rely less on others. Another expert, Ming-Chi Kuo, also predicted this Wi-Fi chip switch for the iPhone 17.

    Wi-Fi 7 works on three bands—2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz—at the same time with the right router. This means faster internet, less lag, and a stronger connection. Speeds can hit over 40 Gbps, four times faster than Wi-Fi 6E, if your device supports it. Expect the iPhone 17 lineup in about six months.

    Pu also shared news about Apple’s first foldable gadgets, set for mass production in late 2026. He says there’ll be a foldable iPhone with a 7.8-inch screen and a bigger 18.8-inch foldable device. This larger one might blend a MacBook and iPad, likely running macOS instead of iPadOS. That hints at a touch-screen Mac, which is a big deal! Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman recently said iOS 19 and macOS 16 updates could pave the way for such devices, but a touch-screen Mac this soon seems uncertain.

    Last month, Apple launched the C1 modem in the iPhone 16e, part of its shift from Qualcomm. Pu says the slim iPhone 17 Air will use this C1 modem too, matching Kuo’s earlier scoop. Next year, the iPhone 18 Pro models might get a faster C2 modem with better power use and mmWave support in the U.S. Meanwhile, iPhone 17 Pro models will stick with Qualcomm modems for now. Apple’s deal with Qualcomm lasts until March 2027, giving it time to perfect its own chips.

  • Apple makes storage info clear again in macOS 15.4 and fixes iCloud Mail trouble with iOS 18.3.2

    Apple makes storage info clear again in macOS 15.4 and fixes iCloud Mail trouble with iOS 18.3.2

    Apple recently updated macOS 15.4, and in its second beta version released this month, they hid how much space Apple Intelligence uses on a Mac. This change happened in the System Settings, making it tough for users to see the details.

    After some people thought Apple was trying to keep the storage size of Apple Intelligence a secret, the company quickly fixed it. With the fourth beta of macOS 15.4 out now, Apple brought back an easy way to check this info. You can find it by going to System Settings > General > Storage, then clicking the info button next to the macOS entry. A little window pops up showing the macOS version and how much space Apple Intelligence takes. This is the same setup as in the current macOS Sequoia 15.3.2.

    Some think the missing storage info in the earlier beta was just a mistake. Users who turned off System Integrity Protection (SIP)—a security feature that stops unsafe code from running—could still see the details. SIP is usually on for most people and can only be switched off in Recovery Mode, something developers do more often. Since Apple brought the info back for everyone, it might’ve been an accident, but we’re not sure.

    Apple says Apple Intelligence can use up to 7GB of space on a Mac, though some users notice it takes even more in macOS Sequoia 15.4. It needs this space to store special files that let it work on your device without always needing the internet. If you don’t want it using space, you can turn off Apple Intelligence.

    Meanwhile, the iOS 18.3.2 update from last week has caused problems for some iCloud Mail users. People on Reddit and forums like MacRumors say new emails aren’t showing up on their iPhones automatically after the update. Even with the right settings, they have to refresh the Mail app manually to see new messages. One Reddit user shared, “Since updating to iOS 18.3.2, my iCloud emails don’t come through on their own. I have to refresh, even though it worked fine before on 18.3.1.”

    Normally, iCloud Mail uses Push to send emails to your phone instantly. If that’s not working, it should switch to Fetch, checking for new mail every so often. But for some, neither option is doing the job. Other email services like Microsoft seem fine, so this glitch is just with iCloud Mail. Apple likely knows about it, and a fix should come soon.

  • iPhone 17 Air looks super slim in new leaked photos

    iPhone 17 Air looks super slim in new leaked photos

    Last night, fresh pictures of iPhone 17 dummy models popped up, shared by Sonny Dickson. He’s a guy who’s been spot-on for years about leaking these fake phone versions that help case and accessory makers get ready for new iPhones. The photos match the designs we’ve seen lately, including a big camera bump stretching across the back, which Apple might add to all models except the basic iPhone 17.

    Dickson’s pictures show the dummies from every angle. The side views really stand out, showing how thin the iPhone 17 Air could be compared to the others. I never thought the current iPhones were bulky, but next to the Air, they look pretty hefty. Check it out:

    The iPhone 17 Air dummy looks sleek from the side, making other models seem thick. These dummy units seem to confirm whispers that the iPhone 17 Air will have a 6.6-inch screen. That size puts it right between this year’s 6.3-inch iPhone 16 Pro and the 6.9-inch 16 Pro Max.

    Mark Gurman from Bloomberg backed this up in his latest Power On newsletter. He says Apple thought about making it 6.9 inches but dropped the idea, worried a super-thin phone with a hugescreen might bend too easily.

    Gurman also mentions the Air will have slim edges like the 16 Pro, plus the Dynamic Island notch and a Camera Control button—details that line up with Dickson’s leaked shots. The iPhone 17 Air’s slim design is stealing the spotlight, and these photos give us a solid peek at what’s coming. It’s exciting to see how it stacks up against the rest of the lineup!

  • iPhone 17 Pro parts leak hints at big camera changes

    iPhone 17 Pro parts leak hints at big camera changes

    Apple’s next iPhone 17 Pro models might come with a fresh look, and a leaked photo from what seems to be a factory line backs up one of the biggest rumored updates. The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are said to switch to a horizontal camera strip, similar to what Google uses on its Pixel phones. This strip would stretch across the back, holding three cameras in a triangle shape on the left, plus the flash, microphone, and LiDAR sensor on the right. Why Apple might go this way or what the extra space is for isn’t clear yet, but it keeps popping up in leaks.

    A picture shared on X by a leaker named Majin Bu shows metal parts—possibly aluminum or titanium—for the iPhone 17 Pro Max. These pieces, likely shaped by precise machines, match the rumored design. The big round holes in them could be for things like the MagSafe charger or battery inside. The parts look neatly stacked and freshly made, ready for the next step.

    Word is that Apple might drop titanium frames from past models like the iPhone 15 Pro and 16 Pro and use aluminum instead. They could mix aluminum with glass for a tougher build. The glass part would keep wireless charging alive, while aluminum might make the phone less likely to break.

    There’s talk of a glass patch around the Apple logo, blended into a metal body. Those holes in the leak might tie into this—or maybe even a new feature like reverse wireless charging. Tests suggest the iPhone 17 Pro could send 7.5W of power wirelessly to gadgets like AirPods or an Apple Watch, a step up from the 4.5W it can do now via cable.

    The iPhone 17 Pro Max might also get a bit thicker—8.725mm compared to 8.25mm on the iPhone 16 Pro Max—possibly to fit a larger battery. The new camera style could also appear on the iPhone 17 Air, a slim model replacing the Plus version, though it’ll have just one lens. The regular iPhone 17, however, should stick to the current camera setup from the iPhone 16. Apple’s big reveal is expected next September. What do you think of these changes?

  • Apple’s strongest Mac yet lacks one cool trick

    Apple’s strongest Mac yet lacks one cool trick

    Apple’s brand-new Mac Studio, powered by the M4 Max or M3 Ultra, is now out for everyone to grab. To go along with its release, Apple updated a help page that shows which power settings this Mac Studio can use—and which ones it skips. The result might catch you off guard.

    Yes, the Mac Studio has a Low Power Mode, but it’s missing High Power Mode. Early reviews say this Mac Studio is the most powerful Mac Apple has ever built. Whether you pick the M4 Max or M3 Ultra version, you’re getting a machine that’s a total beast.

    But what if you want to tone down all that strength sometimes?

    Apple’s updated help page about Power Modes (spotted by MacRumors) says the new Mac Studio lets you switch on Low Power Mode. Why would you bother? Apple explains it does two handy things: it keeps the fans quiet for jobs needing silence and cuts down on energy use if your Mac stays on all the time. These are solid perks for a feature you might think isn’t needed on a Mac Studio.

    Here’s the odd part, though: High Power Mode isn’t an option. Apple says High Power Mode lets the fans spin faster, giving extra cooling so the system can handle super heavy tasks better. When it’s on, you might notice more fan noise. It sounds like a great fit for a machine as strong as the Mac Studio, right?

    But for some reason, it’s not included. You can use High Power Mode on certain MacBook Pros and even the M4 Mac mini, but can you use it on the new Mac Studio? Nope, it’s left out. This missing feature stands out since the Mac Studio is such a powerhouse. It’s a curious choice by Apple that’s got people scratching their heads!

  • iPhone 17 to stay cool with new tech and slim iPhone 17 Air details

    iPhone 17 to stay cool with new tech and slim iPhone 17 Air details

    Fresh news about the iPhone 17 suggests at least one model will stay cooler with a fancy liquid cooling system called a vapor chamber. This is the third time we’ve heard this, but it’s still unclear which models will get it.

    Apple’s chips keep getting stronger every year, but they heat up when you push them hard—like when playing heavy games. When they get too hot, the phone slows down to avoid damage. This is called thermal throttling. It happens when the chip hits its heat limit, and the phone cuts back power until it cools off.

    Big devices like the MacBook Pro use fans to blow heat away, but iPhones rely on a simple metal or graphite block to soak up heat and pass it to the phone’s body. A vapor chamber is a smarter version of this. It has liquid inside that turns into vapor when part of the phone gets hot. The vapor moves to cooler areas, turns back into liquid, and lowers the temperature. It’s like how a wet towel cools your head when you’re sick.

    Who Said What About iPhone 17 Cooling?

    Last summer, Apple expert Ming-Chi Kuo said only the iPhone 17 Pro Max would get this vapor chamber upgrade paired with graphite sheets. Other models would stick to just graphite. Then, the Chinese site MyDrivers claimed all iPhone 17 models would have it. Now, a trusted leaker, Instant Digital, says both Pro models—iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max—will use this cooling trick.

    iPhone 17 Air: Super Thin and Sleek

    Apple’s also swapping the “Plus” model for a new iPhone 17 Air, and everyone’s talking about how thin it’ll be. Reports vary: some say 6mm, others 5.5mm at its slimmest. Leaker Ice Universe adds that the camera bump is 4mm, making the thickest part 9.5mm. It’ll have one camera, a microphone, and a flash in a long bump, like on Google Pixel phones.

    Size and More

    The iPhone 17 Air might have a 6.6- or 6.7-inch screen—bigger than the iPhone 17 (6.3 inches) but smaller than the Pro Max (6.9 inches). Expect Apple to show off the whole iPhone 17 lineup around mid-September 2025.

  • Four cool updates to Apple’s Photos app in iOS 18.4 and a key security fix in iOS 18.3.2

    Four cool updates to Apple’s Photos app in iOS 18.4 and a key security fix in iOS 18.3.2

    Apple’s iOS 18.4 is in testing mode right now, and it brings some neat updates to the Photos app that you might not notice at first. These changes make it easier to use and give you more control. Plus, there’s a small but important security update in iOS 18.3.2. Here’s what’s new!

    #1: Better Ways to Filter Your Photos

    When you’re looking at your pictures or videos, check the bottom-left corner. There’s an icon with two arrows pointing up and down. Tap it, and you’ll see options to sort or filter your stuff. In iOS 18.4, two new filters join the list:

    • Shared With You – Shows only things others sent you.
    • Not in an Album – Find photos or videos you haven’t organized yet.

    Also, if you go to the Albums tab and tap the three-dot button at the top-right, you can now filter to see just Albums or just Folders. It’s a simple way to tidy up what you’re looking at.

    #2: A Fresh Way to Sort Albums

    On the Albums screen, iOS 18.4 adds a new sorting trick. Besides sorting by name or your custom order, you can now pick:

    • Sort by Date Modified – This puts albums you’ve recently tweaked at the top.
    • There’s also a small tweak: “Grid” and “List” views are now called “List View” and “Key Photo.” It doesn’t change how things work, but the new names might feel a bit odd at first.

    #3: Hide Albums for Privacy

    The Photos app has some default albums like Recently Viewed and Recently Shared, which track what you’ve looked at or sent lately. If you’d rather keep those private, iOS 18.4 lets you turn them off. Just go to Settings > Apps > Photos, scroll down, and switch off “Show Recently Viewed & Shared.” Easy!

    #4: Clean Up Deleted Photos Fast

    Want to wipe out all your deleted photos for good? Or maybe bring them all back? In iOS 18.4, the Recently Deleted album has two new buttons: a trash can to erase everything forever and a “Recover All” option to restore them. Super handy!

    Quick Security Update in iOS 18.3.2

    Apple also rolled out iOS 18.3.2 with a fix for a WebKit issue. This bug could let sneaky web content escape its safe zone, but Apple patched it with better checks. It’s an old problem they fixed before in iOS 17.2, and this update just makes it even safer. No recent attacks are known, so you’re good!
