    iPhone 17 Pro to get 8K video and iPhone 16 hits Indonesia soon

    Exciting news for iPhone fans! The upcoming iPhone 17 Pro, expected to launch in September 2025, might let you record videos in super-clear 8K quality. This is a big jump from the 4K videos we get now with the iPhone 16. A source from China hinted that this upgrade will make the iPhone 17 Pro a top choice for video lovers.

    While the iPhone 16 Pro can’t do 8K yet—possibly due to its camera limits—the iPhone 17 Pro could change that, giving you sharper and more detailed footage. Apple seems ready to make this a big deal for people who love filming, like vloggers.

    In other news, the iPhone 16 is finally coming to Indonesia! Apple announced it will be available there starting April 11, 2025. This comes after Indonesia lifted a ban on its sale, which had delayed things. Now, people in Indonesia can grab the iPhone 16 and enjoy its cool features, like better cameras and a faster chip.

    It’s great to see Apple bringing its latest phone to more places around the world. Both updates show how Apple keeps pushing to improve its gadgets and reach more fans. The iPhone 17 Pro’s 8K video could set a new standard, while the iPhone 16’s launch in Indonesia spreads the excitement. Stay tuned for more as these dates get closer!

  • iOS 19 might get a fresh look inspired by VisionOS

    iOS 19 might get a fresh look inspired by VisionOS

    Rumors are buzzing about iOS 19, Apple’s next big update for iPhones, expected to roll out later this year. People are saying it could bring a brand-new style, borrowing ideas from visionOS, the system that powers Apple’s Vision Pro headset. This fresh design might make the iPhone’s screens look more glassy and see-through, with rounded buttons and a sleek, modern feel. Some think it’ll be the biggest change to iOS since iOS 7 came out years ago, giving apps, menus, and icons a whole new vibe.

    A leaker named Jon Prosser shared some early pictures of what iOS 19 might look like, showing off a redesigned Camera app with floating buttons and a shiny, visionOS-like touch. But not everyone agrees these sneak peeks are spot-on. Mark Gurman, a well-known reporter from Bloomberg, said those images don’t fully match what Apple’s cooking up. He believes the real iOS 19 will still surprise us with bigger changes, though he didn’t spill all the details.

    On top of that, a leaked screenshot hints at a smoother, more polished interface, but some folks aren’t sure it’s the final deal. Apple’s keeping things under wraps until the official reveal at WWDC 2025 in June, followed by a public launch in September. So, while the chatter is exciting, we’ll have to wait a bit to see the real magic iOS 19 brings to our iPhones!

  • Apple Watch health feature delays and new upgrades coming in 2025

    Apple Watch health feature delays and new upgrades coming in 2025

    Apple’s plan to add a blood pressure tracking feature to the Apple Watch is facing more hurdles. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the company is still struggling with testing issues, though exact details remain unclear.

    This health tool, in development for years, was hoped to launch by 2025. It won’t give precise readings but will alert users if their blood pressure rises or if high levels are spotted, helping catch problems early. However, these delays suggest it might not arrive as soon as expected.

    Meanwhile, the Apple Watch Ultra 3, set for September 2025, is bringing exciting updates. Gurman says it will include satellite texting, letting users send messages without Wi-Fi or cell service—perfect for hikers or adventurers.

    It’ll also switch to a 5G modem from MediaTek, upgrading from the current 4G. This aims to rival brands like Garmin and make the watch a top pick for those needing off-grid safety. While the blood pressure feature lags, these new additions promise to keep the Ultra 3 a game-changer next year.

  • Big updates coming to iOS 19 and iOS 20 for EU users

    Big updates coming to iOS 19 and iOS 20 for EU users

    Apple is gearing up for some major changes to its iPhone software, thanks to new rules from the European Union (EU). The European Commission has set deadlines for Apple to roll out updates in iOS 19 and iOS 20, making the iPhone work better with other devices and apps. These changes will give users more freedom and options, especially in Europe.

    By the end of 2025, likely with iOS 19.2, third-party smartwatches will be able to show and handle iPhone notifications. This means you won’t need an Apple Watch to stay connected. Then, by mid-2026, around iOS 19.4, Apple will let third-party headphones use its cool audio-switching trick—something AirPods already do when hopping between your iPhone and Mac.

    Also by mid-2026, iOS will support alternatives to AirDrop, letting other apps share files just as easily. Finally, by the time iOS 20 rolls out in late 2026, third-party apps will get a shot at matching AirPlay’s streaming magic. These updates aim to make your iPhone play nicer with non-Apple gear.

    Meanwhile, iOS 18.4, coming in April 2025, brings a small but handy tweak to Safari. When you open a new tab and tap the search bar, it’ll now show your recent searches right away. This could save time if you often look up the same things, but it might feel less private—anyone peeking at your screen could see what you’ve been searching for.

    If you don’t like it, you can switch to Private Browsing or clear your history often. Apple might add an off switch for this feature later, based on what users say during testing. These updates show Apple balancing new features with EU demands. iOS 19 will kick off at WWDC 2025 in June, hitting phones in September, while iOS 20 will follow in 2026. From better device support to a smarter Safari, your iPhone experience is about to get a big boost—especially if you’re in the EU.

  • Apple’s iPhone ID feature expands to more U.S. states, but it’s taking time

    Apple’s iPhone ID feature expands to more U.S. states, but it’s taking time

    In some U.S. states, people can now store their driver’s license or state ID in the Wallet app on their iPhone or Apple Watch. This handy, no-touch option lets them show who they are or how old they are at certain airports, stores, or apps without pulling out a physical card. Sadly, this cool tool is spreading slowly. Apple first shared the idea back in September 2021, and over three years later, only nine states plus Puerto Rico have it ready.

    States Where It Works

    Here’s where you can use it now:

    • Arizona (started March 2022)
    • Maryland (started May 2022)
    • Colorado (started November 2022)
    • Georgia (started May 2023)
    • Ohio (started July 2024)
    • Hawaii (started August 2024)
    • California (started September 2024)
    • Iowa (started October 2024)
    • New Mexico (started December 2024)
    • Puerto Rico has it too!

    States Coming Soon

    Apple says these places plan to add it later:

    • Montana
    • West Virginia
    • Connecticut
    • Kentucky
    • Mississippi
    • Oklahoma
    • Utah
    • Illinois

    Also, Japan will join in with its My Number Card when iOS 18.4 comes out in early April.

    Airports That Accept It

    You can use the Wallet ID at security checks in these airports:

    • Baltimore/Washington (BWI)
    • Reagan National (DCA)
    • Phoenix (PHX)
    • Denver (DEN)
    • Atlanta (ATL)
    • Cincinnati (CVG)
    • Columbus (CMH)
    • San Francisco (SFO)
    • San Jose (SJC)
    • Los Angeles (LAX)
    • Honolulu (HNL)
    • Des Moines (DSM)
    • Cedar Rapids (CID)
    • Albuquerque (ABQ)
    • Hobbs (HOB)
    • San Juan (SJU)

    Apple suggests checking TSA signs at the airport to be sure it’s accepted. The TSA website has more info too. The Wallet ID also works to prove your age or identity at some U.S. shops or spots, but Apple doesn’t list which ones yet. Even though it’s growing, the wait for more states and places to catch on feels long!

  • First iPhone 17 Air case shows off new camera bar and button spot

    First iPhone 17 Air case shows off new camera bar and button spot

    Today, well-known leaker Sonny Dickson posted a picture of what he says is an early peek at a case made for Apple’s iPhone 17 Air. “If you didn’t hear about the Air model, you’d think this was for a Google Pixel,” he joked.

    How Case Makers Get the Scoop

    Companies that make phone cases often get a head start by teaming up with Apple or checking out production sites. By watching how things are made and studying early versions, they figure out what the new designs will look like. The iPhone 17 Air is set to have a fresh look with a wide, flat “camera bar” stretching across the top of its back. This style feels a bit like Google’s Pixel phones and shakes up the usual iPhone camera setup.

    From leaked images, it looks like this camera bar will hold just one back camera on the left, with a flash way over on the right. The design is simple and clean, matching the iPhone 17 Air’s super-slim body, which is said to be about 5.5mm thick.

    What the Case RevealsEven with its simple style, the case hints at cool features like MagSafe, an Action button, and a new Camera Control button. You can see a spot for this button on the lower left side of the case in Dickson’s photo. A recent report and some fake models shared earlier by Dickson also back up this detail.

    The iPhone 17 Air is expected to come with a 6.6-inch screen that refreshes fast at 120Hz, a Dynamic Island, a regular A19 chip (not the Pro version), a sharp 48-megapixel camera, Apple’s own C1 modem, and no slot for a physical SIM card anywhere in the world. Like always, Apple will likely show off its new iPhones around mid-September.

  • Apple fixes password app flaw that risked user safety

    Apple fixes password app flaw that risked user safety

    Apple recently patched a problem in its Passwords app with the iOS 18.2 update in December. This flaw had put users at risk of phishing attacks for three months, ever since iOS 18 came out.

    What Went Wrong with the Passwords App

    A report from 9to5Mac highlighted an Apple security note revealing that the Passwords app was sending unprotected requests for website logos and icons tied to saved passwords. Normally, encryption keeps this data safe, but without it, anyone on the same Wi-Fi network could trick users into visiting a fake site designed to steal their login info. Security experts from Mysk first noticed this issue and told Apple about it in September.

    How Apple Described the Fix

    In the iOS 18.2 security notes, Apple explained the problem simply:

    • Effect: Someone with network access might steal private details.
    • Solution: The app now uses HTTPS to send data securely.

    Apple also confirmed they fixed this across other devices like Macs, iPads, and Vision Pros, not just iPhones.

    Why It Matters

    This glitch left users exposed for months, but Apple’s update finally closed the gap. It’s a reminder that even big companies can miss things—though they acted once the issue was clear. If you’re on iOS 18, grabbing the latest update keeps your info safer from sneaky attacks like these.

  • Apple drops bigger iPhone 17 Air plan over bend worries

    Apple drops bigger iPhone 17 Air plan over bend worries

    Apple once tested a super-thin iPhone 17 Air with a big 6.9-inch screen but scrapped the idea. Why? They worried it might bend too easily, a problem they faced years ago. A new report spills the details.

    iPhone 17 Air’s Big Screen Scare

    Mark Gurman, a Bloomberg writer, shared this in his recent Power On newsletter:

    When Apple first worked on this phone, they tried a 6.9-inch screen—same size as the Pro Max. But they dropped it, fearing a slim phone with such a large display could bend. Back in 2014, Apple dealt with “Bendgate” when the iPhone 6 Plus warped in tight pockets. They didn’t want that headache again.

    A rumor from China earlier this month said the iPhone 17 Air matched the iPhone 17 Pro Max in size, just thinner. That might have come from this canceled test model.

    What’s Coming Instead

    The iPhone 17 Air hitting shelves in September will sport a 6.6-inch screen with smooth 120Hz ProMotion tech, a Dynamic Island, a speedy A19 chip, one 48-megapixel back camera, and Apple’s own C1 modem. Gurman hears it could cost around $899 in the U.S.—the same as the iPhone 16 Plus, which this slim phone seems set to replace in Apple’s lineup. Apple’s clearly playing it safe after past lessons, sticking with a size that’s big but not risky. Fans of giant screens might be bummed, but a sturdier phone could be worth it.

  • 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? Share your thoughts below!

  • 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.
