If you exclude Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, next weekend, and New Year's Eve, that leaves what, 3 possible days (including today) for next-generation CarPlay to launch this year, as Apple's website says? Time is certainly running short…

I removed the Messages app from the Dock on my Mac. Hoping this leads to a massive productivity boost for me in 2025.

USB-Cya later! 👋 www.macrumors.com/2024/12/20/i...

McDonald's Happy Meals are my go-to junk meal while calorie counting. A cheeseburger, small fry, yogurt, drink, and a mini toy/book in a fun box for $6 Canadian. We collected the plush Grinch ornaments. Plus, it supports the Ronald McDonald House charity. This is what excites me at age 30.

Hey guys, it’s me, Morphious, it’s Carlos, how are you guys?

This festive projection was filmed with eight iPhone 16 Pro Max devices, according to Apple.

tvOS 18.2 adds a rotating Snoopy screen saver to 2021-and-newer Apple TV models, but it seems like additional screen savers based on Apple TV+ originals like "Foundation" are no longer coming with the update this December. Apple removed all references to them on its website.

Apple's holiday ad is really good this year. Very emotional.

Here is our imaginative iPhone 17 Pro concept at MacRumors Who knows if it will actually look like this… we had to come up with something for the "part-aluminum, part-glass" and "rectangular camera bump" rumors and roll with it until we learn more!

Since the end of 2022, the Apple Watch Series 9 and Sport Band are the only new products that have been released in (PRODUCT)RED. Is the color being phased out slowly? It certainly appears that way?

Apple today announced it will again donate $5 for every purchase made using Apple Pay at the Apple Store (online or in person) to The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, from November 29 through December 8. Apple said its donation this year will be capped at $3 million.

With redesigned next-generation CarPlay icons appearing in iOS 18.2 beta code, and now this, perhaps the software system will finally launch in December. Apple promised the first vehicles would arrive in 2024. www.macrumors.com/2024/11/25/n...

I've seen some outrage over iPhone 17 Air rumors, but I guess that's just the internet for you. If you don't care for an ultra-thin iPhone with compromises, I've got great news for you: you'll still be able to buy an iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, or iPhone 17 Pro Max as usual.

The latest rumor says the iPhone 17 Air could be as thin as 5mm. 13" iPad Pro (M4) is the thinnest Apple device ever at 5.1mm.

Congrats, @sdw.bsky.social!

I told my wife I’d go see more of the movies she wants to see. Why does Wicked have to be 2 hours and 40 minutes? 😭

Jon Watts, director of the Spider-Man films starring Tom Holland, is not pleased with Apple. He told Deadline that he canceled his planned sequel to "Wolfs" — the most-viewed film on Apple TV+ in its history — because Apple pivoted away from a wide theatrical release without consulting him. Oof.

I've been calorie counting for 3 months again (down 15 pounds). I was doing 1,600/day all week, but I switched to 1,500 with 2,200 on Saturdays (same weekly total). When you're used to eating 1,500/day, an extra 700 feels like SO MUCH. Like, 5 Popeyes tenders + sauce + overestimating much! 🤤

To emphasize how much more affordable out-of-warranty MacBook Pro speaker repairs will now be, Apple Stores/AASPs can order 2 speakers for ~$40 USD total instead of a whole "top case" for ~$500 (profit margin & labor extra). We're talking a 90% decrease. Way less wasteful, too.

Big news for MacBook Pro repairability! @kwiens.bsky.social Also, I have an update: According to a reliable source, Apple is giving technicians access to individual speaker parts for ALL 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with Apple silicon, going back to models with M1 Pro and M1 Max chips!

There are a whole bunch of Snoopy screen savers for the Apple TV on tvOS 18.2 (I'm on the beta). I haven't even seen all of them yet. They're really great! Very comforting.

I think there's a really strong chance that I'm going to buy the iPhone 17 Air.

iPad 10 price trajectory October 2022: $449 (Apple/New) May 2024: $349 (Apple/New) November 2024: $299 (Apple/Refurbished) November 2024: $249.99 (Amazon/New)

Pretty wild that you can get a new iPad 10 on Amazon for $249 right now when Apple was charging $449 for it until around six months ago.

Siri's true ChatGPT-like revamp is not expected until iOS 19.4 in a year and a half from now, according to Mark Gurman. By that point, ChatGPT will have been available for 3.5 years.

That's the wafer for the M4 Extreme chip.

Billie Eilish is Apple Music's Artist of the Year for 2024. She already won this award in 2019.

Satechi makes nice stuff. For the new Mac mini, this hub will add an SD card slot, bring back USB-A ports, and allow you to add up to an additional 4TB of storage without having to pay Apple's expensive upgrade prices. Launches spring 2025. Pricing not shared yet. www.macrumors.com/2024/11/21/s...

Apple has announced its annual four-day Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping event in the U.S. and many other countries. It runs from Friday, November 29 through Monday, December 2. In the U.S., you can once again get up to a $200 Apple gift card with the purchase of an eligible product.

Tomorrow will be day 3,500 of the Apple Watch being available, so anyone with an absolutely perfect record of closing their rings since day 1 of the Apple Watch could earn the 3,500-day version of the new All Rings Closed activity awards very shortly! The ultimate flex!

Just got a scam SMS from the "Canada Post" claiming they are trying to deliver my package without success and need me to update my info via a fake URL. Someone should probably inform the scammers that Canada Post is currently on strike and not delivering at all right now.

With this service program now over, it is no longer guaranteed that customers with affected MacBook butterfly keyboards will be able to receive a free repair from Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

I'm going to create the next Twitter clone called Yapp that is focused exclusively on yapping. 280 characters will be the minimum requirement.

iPhone 17 Air will likely be the thinnest iPhone ever. https://www.macrumors.com/2024/11/18/iphone-17-air-could-be-thinnest-iphone-ever/

Fake news! https://www.macrumors.com/2024/11/17/tim-cook-didnt-say-that/

RIP to Apple's Lightning to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter? USB-C version of the adapter remains available. https://www.macrumors.com/2024/11/17/lightning-to-headphone-jack-adapter-sold-out/

I have a love-hate relationship with the show From. I want to find out what happens, but the acting is so mediocre.

RIP, iPhone XS Max. Honestly feels like yesterday that 9to5Mac leaked the image of the device (shown below) by guessing the URL for it on Apple's website. (Still a bit jealous). https://www.macrumors.com/2024/11/15/apple-adds-two-iphone-models-to-vintage-list/

iPhone's life-saving satellite feature launched two years ago today

I made a basic Linktree website showing where you can find me online: rsgnl.com

Silo season 2 episode 1 is NOW OUT on Apple TV+! https://www.macrumors.com/2024/11/14/apple-tv-plus-silo-season-two-begins/

Hyped for Silo season 2 episode 1 on Apple TV shortly!

Alongside Final Cut Pro 11, iMovie for the Mac also received a minor update yesterday. Just in case anyone was wondering, I have confirmed that iMovie did not gain any new features. Also, this post is me testing the Croissant app for cross-posting across Threads, Bluesky, and Mastodon all at once.

Here is Apple's official photo for Apple Fairfax Corner, which held its grand opening on Saturday. This store replaces Apple Fair Oaks, which is now permanently closed. Fairfax Corner is less than a mile away from the Fair Oaks mall by car.

Say hello to Apple La Vaguada! Apple's first all-new store in Spain in a decade opens on Thursday, November 28, at the La Vaguada shopping center in northern Madrid, the company announced today. Apple has celebrated the occasion by sharing a special wallpaper for the iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

I’m here!
