  • People commonly disclose all kinds of personal data to AI chatbots, including the highly inadvisable practice of asking them for health advice. In addition to the grave medical dangers of obtaining inaccurate advice, users are also running significant privacy risks. Most AI chatbots have terms and conditions that allow any of your conversations with them to be used as training data, and often app terms that allow data to be collated and sold. Democrats now propose to update a privacy law to prevent the sale of health data …

  • For Apple users, storage never feels finished. iPhone photo libraries keep growing, Macs fill up with large projects and downloads, and the monthly services meant to solve the problem can become another subscription to track. pCloud’s 4th of July promotion takes a different approach: pay once for lifetime cloud storage, then keep using it across your devices without monthly or annual renewal fees.

  • MagSafe is typically known for charging only, but there are use cases for it as just a mounting technology/use case. If you don’t want to charge your iPhone in your car or you have a wired CarPlay setup, you might want to use it just for mounting. That’s what the ESR OmniLock for MagSafe Car Mount is designed to do. Let’s take a look.

While the files include a lot of company-sensitive data, Reuters is reporting that Apple is particularly concerned right now as the documents include drop test photos of the iPhone 18 Pro, the upcoming model Apple will officially announce in early September.
  • If you’re curious to try macOS Golden Gate while it’s still in beta, I highly recommend installing it on a separate APFS volume instead of your main volume. Installing macOS 27 on your main volume would replace macOS Tahoe, leaving you at the mercy of any bugs or compatibility issues that arise with the software and hardware you use. Unlike iOS and iPadOS betas, macOS betas can pose a greater risk due to the complexity of macOS, which includes support for legacy software and hardware. I’ve been burned too many times in the past with hardware and software that didn’t work properly for months until the inevitable updates came after the public version was released later that fall. In my opinion, it’s just not worth it. The good news is, thanks to APFS, you can easily create a separate volume and silo the macOS Golden Gate beta installation away from your production Tahoe volume. This allows you to test the macOS beta in full while retaining the stability and reliability of the current public release. Watch our full hands-on video walkthrough for a complete step-by-step guide, and be sure to subscribe to 9to5Mac on YouTube for more macOS tutorials.

  • June 30, 2026: A day later, public beta versions are now available as well.

Apple has released the third iOS 26.6 developer beta. iOS 26.6 beta has been in testing since the end of May.

  • Apple has acquired a variety of apps recently, and the latest—Play—won the 2025 Apple Design Award in the ‘Innovation’ category. Here’s what it does.
  • Today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is headlined by what might be your chance so score a seriously deep deal as official price hikes start to hit Amazon – score MacBook Pro at up to $650 off while you still can and the same goes for M4 iPad Air at $350 off. Prime Day all-time low pricing is still live on Apple’s 2026 AirTag 2 from $22 each, and the ultra-rare Prime Day deal rolls on with the latest black Apple Magic Mouse back at its best Amazon price ever. Head below for a closer look.
  • Silo returns later this week for season 3, and the first reviews indicate the new season could be the show’s best yet thanks in part to a new split-timeline story.
  • Apple is rumored to have more new iPhones launching in 2027 than ever before, and a new post from leaker Digital Chat Station corroborates that. Here’s what he says is coming.
  • Some of the recent Apple price hikes exceeded 50%, while the cost of upgrading memory and storage has literally doubled in some cases. The company has said that it’s “working tirelessly to find solutions” to the problem, but when might we expect prices to revert – if ever … ?
  • If you’re a long-time T-Mobile subscriber on a plan you took out years ago, the company may have some bad news for you. The carrier is closing what it says are more than 1,100 different legacy “plan codes” and moving subscribers onto new ones, with price increases or reductions in usage limits likely …
  • A maxed out MacBook Pro has never been cheap given Apple’s pricing on both RAM and SSD upgrades, but the recent price hikes mean that the 16-inch model now tops out at a five-figure sum. John Gruber ran the numbers and noted that while the base model prices only went up by around 14%, there were massive increases to both RAM and storage options …
  • We learned yesterday that Apple is trying to persuade the Trump administration to allow it to buy memory chips from two Chinese companies blacklisted by the Pentagon, CXMT and YMTC. Apple previously sought permission from the Biden administration to do the same thing back in 2022, and that did not go well – despite promising to use the chips only for iPhones sold in China …
  • Apple just announced unprecedented price increases for the majority of its product lineup, with only iPhone and Apple Watch not yet seeing a price hike. This is because of the AI-driven memory crisis, caused by AI data centers buying up loads of memory supply, putting tons of pressure on the market. Apple tried to hold out for quite a while, but the situation got out of hand. It’s worth noting that these memory pressures have existed for the entirety of the year, and it’s only now getting to the point where it’s unsustainable. Nonetheless, we’ll be diving into the why of it all, and when you should expect things to get better.
  • Later this year, Apple will be debuting an updated version of the Mac Studio with M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips – a long awaited refresh. The current Mac Studio, released in early 2025, includes an M4 Max and M3 Ultra chip, so at least on the high end, it’s pretty behind. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the M5-based Mac Studio, which should just be a chip upgrade, is still on track to launch this year. Looking ahead to 2028, there may be more interesting changes in the pipeline.
  • In this hands-on guide, I’ll show you how to transform a USB drive into a macOS Golden Gate USB installer.

  • With iPhone Air, Apple reintroduced the MagSafe battery pack. It’s $99, and optimized specifically for iPhone Air. It’s rather slim, though it’s rather weak in capacity – making Qi2 alternatives all the more interesting. We’ll be delving into the top options on the market, just in case you want a higher capacity MagSafe battery for your iPhone, or aren’t buying the iPhone Air.

  • We’re about 3 weeks out from when Apple unveiled iOS 27 to the world at WWDC26, and it’s still safe to say: this is an incredible update. It’s incredibly performant, and besides some small quirks and a little battery drain, it feels much more usable than iOS 26.5. While iOS 27 does support every device that ran iOS 26, the same isn’t true for iPadOS. A number of older iPadOS 26 devices will not be receiving the iPadOS 27 update, which I think is quite a shame – and Apple should mitigate this one way or another.
  • Apple just implemented major price increases for a ton of Mac and iPad models this week. For example, the MacBook Neo just got $100 more expensive, while the MacBook Pro jumped a whopping $300. MacBook Air is also now $200 more expensive. Some of these price increases aren’t yet reflected on Amazon — and some are still discounted for Prime Day — but that’s starting to change. Here’s how you can still save.

  • The Financial Times reports that Apple is seeking clearance from the Trump administration to purchase memory chips from a banned Chinese company. The move would help it meet demand for product manufacturing during the ongoing global memory supply shortage.

  • Apple’s plans for new high-end MacBooks are coming into focus after recent Bloomberg reports, with a MacBook Ultra and new M6 MacBook Pro both now expected to launch this fall.
  • To me, e-ink is one of the most underappreciated technologies in the world today. I love my Kindle Paperwhite. I really wish Apple made e-ink devices. However, SwitchBot has officially entered this market with the new SwitchBot Weather Station. It combines an E-ink screen, iCloud calendar syncing, and Matter-compatible environmental sensors into a single device.
  • OpenAI is introducing GPT-5.6, its next-generation model, two months after the release of GPT-5.5. However, the rollout to customers won’t be as straightforward as previous model updates to ChatGPT and Codex.
  • Apple had a major theatrical hit last year with F1. But so far in 2026, all of Apple’s new movies have skipped theaters. Now, the company has announced that the forthcoming Tenzing will get a limited theatrical debut.
  • Apple’s base model iPhone 18 was previously rumored to get 12GB of RAM, but a new report claims it’s only getting 9GB instead—raising questions about support for iOS 27’s most demanding features.
  • I recently explored and tested over 200 new features in the iOS 27 beta, but in this post, I’ve distilled that list down to 10 of my favorite new features for iPhone. From Journal app writing prompts and section links in Notes, to much-improved 3D buildings in Apple Maps, iOS 27 is packed with awesome new enhancements.
  • Apple’s price increases were both swift and dramatic. As some of us suspected, there was just over a week between CEO Tim Cook warning that the move would be unavoidable and the new pricing taking effect. The increases were substantial in both percentage and absolute terms. The highest percentage increase was the Apple TV 4K, with a 55% increase …

  • The countdown is on as we enter the final stretch of the 2026 Prime Day sale with ongoing discounts on AirPods Pro 3 and a whole lot more, but some things are starting to sell out completely. Apple has just raised the price on MacBook and iPad dramatically so today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is headlined by Prime Day pricing on MacBook Neo at $110 off before the price hike hits Amazon, as well as $450 off the new MSRPs. Those deals join the most affordable Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra 3 at up to $150 off for the final 24 hours of Prime Day, a super rare price drop on Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID, all-time lows on Magic Mouse. Head below for a closer look while you still can.

  • Apple announced sweeping price increases across its product lineup yesterday, including raising the base price of the MacBook Neo from $599 to $699.

You can, however, get a brand new MacBook Neo for even less on Amazon …
