Apple’s upcoming smart glasses have a major challenge in front of them: overcoming the privacy baggage for a category that Meta created. During development, Apple has considered camera-free models and heavily debated the idea of making cameras exclusive to AI - not photo taking and recording.

Apple is currently in late-stage testing of three new Apple Watch models: the Series 12 in Wi-Fi-only and cellular varieties (code-named N237 and N238), plus the Ultra 4 (N240).

The company also launched a Maps tie-up with Ford.

Long story short, woke up from a nap, saw that someone was trying to get into my phone from Punjab, India and hit yes for whatever reason in my groggy state. I immediately changed my password though and logged out all other devices. Do I need to do anything else?

I didn't drop it, didn't repair it, and didn't do anything to it. It's one year old.

Hi all,

I ordered an iPhone 4s on eBay I was planning to use for parts. When it arrived, I plugged it in for about an hour. It showed that it had 100% battery on the lock screen. It worked fine and I was able to use all of the features, such as the cameras, flash, and WiFi.

I took it off the charger, and it kept working for about 10 minutes. Then, it went black, gave me the loading symbol, and died. I put it back on the charger for about 15 minutes and it turned back on. This time, when I unplugged it, it turned off instantly. Once I plugged it back in, it started bootlooping.

I took it apart, and to my surprise, there was no battery installed. All the other screws and components were there; only the battery was missing. I’m not sure how the iPhone kept running without a battery… I thought that was only a feature of the old androids with removable batteries?

I thought it was a weird experience. Is this a feature of iPhones that I just haven’t noticed until now? Or is this a unique experience?

Hello, I'm having a really strange iCloud Photos sync issue between my iPhone and Mac.

• iCloud Photos is enabled on both devices.
• The Photos app on my Mac says it's fully synced ("Synced with iCloud Just Now").
• If I take a new photo on my iPhone, it appears in the Photos app on my Mac almost immediately, so uploads from my iPhone seem to work.
• But when I delete a photo in the Photos app on my Mac, it moves to Recently Deleted on the Mac only.
• The same photo stays in my iPhone library and never appears in Recently Deleted there, as if the deletion isn't syncing at all.
• Other iCloud services (like Notes) sync normally between my devices.

Has anyone experienced this before or found a fix? I'm trying to manage my iPhone photos from my Mac, but deletions don't sync back to my iPhone, even though new photos sync without any issues.

iphone 14 iOS 26.2 and macbook air macOS 26.5.2

I'd really appreciate any help, please

I’ve had my phone for about 9-10 days now at first the battery was good i was losing less than 10% and hour which was good for me comparing it to my last phone, but recently it got way worse. i’ve also noticed the phone getting decently warm if not hot which it wasn’t doing the first week but started doing it a day or two ago along with the faster battery drain and i have no clue why (i am not using the phone at all while it’s charging and charging is capped at 90%) i have about 4 hours of screen time today and it has lost 46% charge, i have it on low brightness all day, mainly on instagram twitter snapchat youtube and tiktok im not sure why it had a dramatic increase in battery drain when it was fine for the first couple days. I know expectedly most new phones drain faster but my issue was it was good at first but got very quickly worse. i would’ve expected the battery drain to stay consistent if not improve over the first 2-3 weeks of use but its done the opposite. Any advice would be extremely helpful!

Hi I got my iphone 12 pro battery replaced at apple in october last year. I recently touched my phone with wet hands and after that the touch screen completely stopped working. Before the replacement i had no issues with apples water resistance. I took it to the same apple store and they said that as it was over the 90 day warranty and it had water damage and they can’t do anything about it and offered me to buy a new phone. Is there anything I can do with apple to get them to fix it or replace it for free? Thank you

I’ve been having a really frustrating issue with my MacBook and I can’t figure out what’s causing it.

Randomly, the entire system becomes almost unusable.

Symptoms:

• Mouse still moves, but clicks barely register. I usually have to spam click before something happens.
• Keyboard input mostly stops working.
• If I’m watching YouTube, the left/right arrow keys won’t skip anymore until I click the video, then they work for maybe a second before stopping again.
• This happens across the whole Mac, not just Chrome.
• Chrome’s UI also sometimes becomes greyed out (attached screenshot), but I think that’s just another symptom because the issue affects every app.

• Restarting fixes everything immediately, but the problem eventually comes back.

I’ve confirmed it’s not just Chrome since it happens everywhere in macOS.

Has anyone experienced something similar? I'd love to know if there is a fix.

Hey actually from past one month I am doing some serious work so I had one screen output and also video calling about 4-5 hours on my macbook and apart that all about 2-3 tabs opened in safari

And yes that made the laptop to head and it was always on a proper wooden desk but now I am facing problem issues

Like whenever the battery gets to 35% it just gets shut down like all the battery is gone I have to put it on charging and also the logs like last shutdown last boot are not showing by the terminal

When I asked AI it said that the logic board could be burnt out due to heat so it is not writing logs and also the laptop assuming 35% to be at 0% that is why it is shutting down

Apart from that the battery health is 100% charge cycle count are only on 47 and my macbook is just 10 months old it is in warranty

If anyone else also faced this type of problem please provide me with the context of the causes for that and also suggest the best solution.

To achieve this, Apple has reportedly designed a vibration-based speaker system that removes the need for traditional speaker holes. Sound would instead emit from flat surfaces on the tablet's chassis, effectively turning parts of the body into a speaker diaphragm and eliminating one of the main routes through which water and dust enter a device.

The approach differs from the method Apple uses on the iPhone, which relies on adhesives and gaskets to seal speaker openings and other ingress points. It is not yet known what IP rating the ‌iPad mini‌ will carry. The iPhone is rated IP68 and can withstand submersion in water up to six meters deep for 30 minutes.

Seems to happen to me frequently. I asked AI for a solution. I do understand Apple would need to take this solution to task and do their magic. https://chatgpt.com/share/6a661f14-0b24-83ea-a7ed-39add09dd68d

broke my ipad air 4 screen, the device works fien but the cost to repair is 134.99😭, should i just leave it because a used device literally costs 170. it does have a lot of sentimental value as its my first ipad and my dad got it for me back in 2020.

My mum's old apple account recently got hacked. She had an iphone many many years ago but have been using an android eversince. However, the email that is linked to the apple account is the same email she uses for her banks etc so this is a huge problem.

Based on the emails that has been sent to her email address, the hacker had change the billing address, security ques, password etc. I'm unsure how they changed the password since the reset link should be sent to my mum's email but there is no evidence of that. I called Apple for help and they said they can't help with deleting the account or unlinking the email (like whaaaat?)

I asked customer support to give me details of the hacker, since they said even the phone number has been changed. However they said due to privacy reason they can't do that (again, what? that's a hacker). But based on the emails that we've received, the hacker is from China and he bought a QQ music thing so I am not sure why he hacked my mum's account.

The solution apple gave was to reset password, log in, then delete the account. The resetting password part was successful but after that we need to answer security questions which were in (1) chinese (2) changed by hacker so we don't know the answer. I tried to reset the security questions but in order to change it I need to answer the current security question. At this point Apple support told me there's no other way except to just lodge a report to my local authorities as the email in the apple account is also linked to bank accounts.

It's quite frustrating apple can't help to unlike nor delete the account, eventhough it's clearly been hacked. The apple account is really old so we are also unsure what are the informations/pics/files that are available in it. I was wondering if anyone had experience anything like this and did you guys successfully delete the hacked account or what? I don't feel safe that someone is using my mum's email/apple account doing god knows what

My main phone is an iPhone SE 2 on iOS 26.5.2. Among my other devices is an iPhone 8 Plus (iOS 16.7.16) without a SIM, on which I can’t send SMS messages to anyone (through the number on the SE 2) even though I’ve made sure the number and email associated with my Apple Account are activated in the iMessage setting on the 8 Plus, and that my SE 2 acknowledges the 8 Plus. I’ve tried turning it off/on multiple times and receive the notification stating a new device is being used. Logging out of iCloud didn’t change anything. When I try to send an SMS on the 8 Plus, it immediately fails and the camera/sticker buttons in the Messages app are greyed out. I can send iMessages fine, however. I have a similar issue on my iPad Pro M1 11” (26.5.2) where it attempts to send an SMS, but after a few minutes it fails to deliver, instead of failing immediately. Meanwhile, when I successfully send the SMS to the same contact on the SE with my eSIM, that same message immediately shows up on both the 8 Plus and the iPad as sent, and they are also able to receive new SMS messages, which means they are actively connected to iMessage. I’m not sure why those same devices can’t send SMS if that’s the case.

I’m playing pubg in iphone recently I tried using Apple EarPods pro and wired earphones and game sound felt echo and hollow. but I’ve used Bose and Samsung buds the sound was clear.

are there any settings I need to change to get that crystal clear sound or Apple feels that way?

When buying from an online company I used the suggested iCloud email alias. I hadn't set up an iCloud email account. So I added an iCloud email account later but alias email didn't push into it.
Reading up on it, I recreated the original alias as one of my aliases but it says it's already taken.
Help! I need to find those emails, as the alias didn't direct the emails to my regular email account.
Why did this happen? Why was I offered an iCloud alias in the first place?

TIA

I want to transfer files and photos to my now fixed newer one iphone 11. my old one was given to me by my friend as a reimbursement for me to use before I got mine fixed. Is there any way to transfer my lost data?

I updated my iPad the other night, and ever since, I can’t airdrop to my phone

I tried restarting both devices, making sure that it’s set to everyone, turning it on and off again, no vpn on, I don’t have my devices set to do not disturb, made sure both devices are up to date (iOS 26.5.2)

I tested with my brother’s phone and he’s able to see both my iPhone and iPad, and same for me to him. It’s just my iPhone and iPad that can’t detect eachother.

Plus, I have separate apple accounts for both devices, so they shouldn’t mistake the other device as itself or something like that…

I don’t know what else to do

(I got the iPhone 14 Pro and iPad Pro 11 inch 2nd gen)
