Apple is planning some of the "biggest iOS and macOS redesigns in its history," according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
In his Power On newsletter today, Gurman reiterated that iOS 19 will have a visionOS-like design with more transparent interfaces:The new interfaces will adopt the design principles introduced in visionOS, the software for Apple's Vision Pro headset. That includes greater...

In select U.S. states, residents can add their driver's license or state ID to the Wallet app on the iPhone and Apple Watch, providing a convenient and contactless way to display proof of identity or age at select airports and businesses, and in select apps.
Unfortunately, this feature continues to roll out very slowly. It has been three and a half years since Apple first announced the...
While the iPhone 18 Pro models are still around a year and a half away from launching, there are already some early rumors about the devices.
Below, we recap some key iPhone 18 Pro rumors so far.
Under-Screen Face ID
In April 2023, display industry analyst Ross Young shared a roadmap showing that iPhone 17 Pro models would feature under-display Face ID. In May 2024, however, Young said ...
In an investor research note today with British bank Barclays, analyst Tim Long said Apple's first foldable iPhone could have a starting price in the $2,300 range in the United States, which would make it by far the most expensive iPhone model ever.
If the first foldable iPhone starts at $2,299, that means it would cost nearly twice as much as the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which starts at $1,199.

Apple prototyped a larger ultra-slim iPhone 17 Air with a 6.9-inch display, but ultimately decided not to go ahead with the device because of fears that it could be susceptible to bending, according to a new report.
Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, writing in his latest Power On newsletter:
When it first started work on the phone, it prototyped a device with a 6.9-inch screen — matching...
All four iPhone 17 models launching later this year will feature an upgraded 24-megapixel front-facing camera, according to analyst Jeff Pu.
In a research note today with investment firm GF Securities, Pu shared a chart in which he reiterated that the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max will each be equipped with a 24-megapixel front camera. By comparison, all four ...
The iOS 18.3.2 update that Apple released last week appears to have broken iCloud Mail for some users. There are multiple complaints on Reddit and the MacRumors forums from users who say that iCloud Mail is not able to push new iCloud emails to their iPhones after the iOS 18.3.2 update.
Affected users say that despite having the correct settings enabled, new iCloud emails are not showing up...
If you've been following iPhone rumors over the last few years, you may remember reading reports that Apple flirted with the idea of introducing a super high-end "Ultra" model that would either replace its Pro Max device or sit above it in Apple's smartphone hirearchy. These reports appeared in the pre-launch iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 rumor cycles, but ultimately came to nothing. Now though, the...
It'd be great if Samsung did these deals outside of their US store. This monitor is still full price (£1271 on the UK site). If Samsung had it for £715 (the same proportional discount as in this advert) then I'd buy one right now, probably more than one as we could do with some new monitors for a few people in the office. But I'm not paying the 'full price' when I know Samsung are selling it for almost half price regularly in other markets.
My holy grail size for 5K 16:9 is in the 29-30" range, although I'd take a 32" too.
27" 5K = 218 ppi, Retina at 15.80" 29" 5K = 203 ppi, Retina at 16.97" 30" 5K = 196 ppi, Retina at 17.56" 32" 5K = 184 ppi, Retina at 18.73"
Ergonomic guidelines recommend a minimum 20" seating distance for a desktop monitor, so all of these meet that criteria for Retina.
If we are on the topic of holy grail give me 4:3 aspect ratio or at the very least 16:10 like Macbook Pros. I remember one day walking into a Microsoft store and playing around with the Surface Studio(28" 192PPI 4:3) and it blew the 27" 5K iMac away yet was only a 1" larger. The iMac felt so cramped using it compared to that glorious IMAX aspect ratio in a monitor. Holy grail for me would be the 32" Apple XDR at 4:3.
lol, I mean we laughed our asses off the last time they offered such a steep discount but now I'm starting to feel really bad for the people who bought it for the initial price.
I end up having to use scaling as I find the default point sizes Apple has blessed as “correct” for retina at various screen sizes to be too small as I’ve gotten older.
On a 15” class laptop for instance I still run and prefer 1440x900 (or equivalent if on a NotchBook)
On a 32” monitor I prefer 2560x1440-ish, but could always enjoy more pixels than 4k/32” provides
