Over the weekend, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported that Apple Glasses likely won’t launch until late 2027. But the report also mentions Apple’s planned strategy for its glasses, and it has me way more excited for the product. more…
The Controller for HomeKit app has just been updated with a new AI feature which the developer is promoting with the phrase “just say it”.

White has been reported to be one of the confirmed colors for the upcoming iPhone Ultra, and a new dummy model gives us a very basic idea of how it might look. While the automatic translation of the text accompanying the photo claims it to be a prototype of the device, I’m certain that it’s simply a dummy model created by a third party … more…
It was clear that the launch of the MacBook Neo at just $599 took most Windows PC makers by surprise. However, Dell appears to have had a strong suspicion of what was coming as the company has just launched its own direct competitor, (sort of) starting at the same price. Apple also has a new rival when it comes to Apple Silicon. Nvidia has just announced its first ever PC chip which also aims to provide a similar leap forward in performance … more…

A new piece has given us a behind-the-scenes look at the setup for this, with MLS, saying that it offered a number of benefits over conventional cameras – though there is a rather sizeable asterisk … more…

And the first quarter of this year was pretty quiet on the iPhone front. When it comes to the walled fortress of iOS, no news is basically good news. So, in this Q1 review, I’m going to specifically be going over the Mac malware landscape and what it looks like, and where things seem to be heading. I’ll look back on every report I covered, every guest I had on the Security Bite Podcast, and most of the samples that crossed my desk over the past three(ish) months. There are three major takeaways from this Q1 review. The first one being that attackers have mostly stopped trying to break into Macs and are instead getting let in… more…
Apple has been working on AI smart glasses for a little while, both to compete against Meta Ray-Bans and to provide a hardware platform for Siri and its Visual Intelligence features. While they were originally set to be announced at the end of this year and debut early next year, that’s now been delayed, with a launch now set to take place by the end of 2027, per Bloomberg. On the flip side of things, a cheaper and lighter version of Apple Vision Pro, dubbed Vision Air, may arrive as soon as 2028, potentially 2029. more…
According to the latest edition of the Power On newsletter, Apple is gearing up to finally launch new versions of the Apple TV and HomePod mini later this year – alongside the long-awaited release of next-generation Siri in iOS 27. These devices will largely be chip upgrades, though the Apple TV may get an updated Siri Remote. more…
It makes sense that Apple TV 4K customers are vocal about the lack of new hardware. The current set-top box, introduced in 2022, runs the risk of breaking a record no one wants to see happen. more…
Welcome to Indie App Spotlight. This is a weekly 9to5Mac series where we showcase the latest apps in the indie app world. If you’re a developer and would like your app featured, get in contact. Navigating across different cities and figuring out their public transportation can sometimes be a bit messy. Maps apps might not always have the best information, or the apps that do exist aren’t presenting data in a super readable manner. NextThere aims to tackle that problem, and also packs loads of historical data for providing more informed information regarding delays, on-time performance, and so on. It’s great for tourists and frequent commuters alike. more…
Last week, reports emerged around Apple developing a new pair of Beats over-ear headphones, with the FCC leaking an outline of the headphones, model number A3577. Now, leading into the world cup, Lamine Yamal has just openly teased the new Beats headphones in an Instagram post, likely to be a successor to Beats Studio Pro. more…
One of the core Apple Intelligence features to date has been Visual Intelligence. It started off in a rather limited capacity through Camera Control, but with iOS 26, the company expanded it to screenshots. I’ve found those capabilities very useful thus far, and I’d love to see Apple take it even further with iOS 27. more…
We manage huge chunks of our life online these days, which means there is a mass of personal data entrusted to a range of different companies. You probably already use Apple privacy tools like App Tracking Transparency, Hide My Email, and iCloud Private Relay, but none of that helps with data that is already out there publicly exposed on the internet. Even things as seemingly innocuous as our hobbies and interests can be valuable data when it comes to those who want to try to sell us things or – worse – to scam us. more…

I have long joked to my family that if I were super rich, I would love to hire someone whose only job would be to hand me a large cup of coffee as soon as I walked out of my bedroom. Apple Home has not let me do that, but it gets me close. A few years ago, I wrote a guide on automating my morning coffee using a SwitchBot button pusher and HOOBS. It required pulling API keys and MAC addresses just to get it communicating with Apple Home. The new SwitchBot Bot Button Pusher completely streamlines this process with native Matter support and a built-in rechargeable battery. more…
