There will also be some enhancements to photos in the form of AI-based editing, but none of those features will impress people who have used AI in Adobe Inc.'s apps for the last several months.</blockquote><br/> <br/>Gurman added that while Apple will mainly rely on on-device processing to support its AI features, it will also deliver them via the cloud in data centers that contain high-end Apple silicon chips designed for the Mac. He also noted that a ChatGPT-like chatbot will be noticeably absent from Apple's upcoming AI features. Apple executives are said to have admitted that they're "playing catch-up" internally. <br/> <br/>Apple's inaugural push into AI is widely expected to be revealed as part of previews of its next-generation software updates at WWDC, which begins on June 10.<div class="linkback">Related Roundup: <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-18/">iOS 18</a></div><div class="linkback">Tags: <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/bloomberg-com/">Bloomberg</a>, <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/artificial-intelligence/">Artificial Intelligence</a>, <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/mark-gurman/">Mark Gurman</a></div><br/>This article, "<a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2024/05/19/ios-18-to-use-ai-to-summarize-notifications/">iOS 18 to Use AI to Summarize Notifications, Add to Calendar, and More</a>" first appeared on <a href="https://www.macrumors.com">MacRumors.com</a><br/><br/><a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/ios-18-to-use-ai-to-summarize-notifications-add-to-calendar-and-more.2426866/">Discuss this article</a> in our forums<br/><br/>]]></description> </item> <item> <title>iPhone 16 Lineup Rumored to Come in These Two New Colors</title> <link>https://www.macrumors.com/2024/05/19/iphone-16-lineup-to-come-in-these-two-new-colors/</link> <comments>https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/iphone-16-lineup-rumored-to-come-in-these-two-new-colors.2426864/</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 19 May 2024 11:08:52 PDT</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.macrumors.com/2024/05/19/iphone-16-lineup-to-come-in-these-two-new-colors/</guid> <dc:creator>Hartley Charlton</dc:creator> <category>Featured</category> <category>iPhone 16</category> <category>iPhone 16 Pro</category> <category>Ming-Chi Kuo</category> <description><![CDATA[Apple analyst <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/ming-chi-kuo/">Ming-Chi Kuo</a> today outlined his expectations for the <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-16/">iPhone 16</a> lineup's color options, revealing that two new colors should replace two of the existing shades.<br/> <br/><img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2024/02/iPhone-16-Camera-Lozenge-2-Perspective.jpg" alt="" width="2500" height="1406" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-935161" /><br/>Kuo outlined his expectations in a <a href="https://x.com/mingchikuo/status/1792223282361680169">post on X</a> (formerly Twitter) earlier today. He believes that the <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-16-pro/">iPhone 16 Pro</a> and ‌iPhone 16 Pro‌ Max will be available in black, white or silver, gray or "Natural Titanium," and rose. This effectively means that the <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-15-pro/">iPhone 15 Pro</a>'s Blue Titanium option will be discontinued and replaced with a new rose color. This mirrors <a href="https://x.com/VNchocoTaco/status/1772522408144191732?s=20">an earlier rumor</a> originating in China, which claimed that the existing Blue Titanium color will be dropped from the ‌iPhone 16 Pro‌ lineup in favor of a new "rose" titanium color.<br/> <br/>On the other hand, the ‌iPhone 16‌ and ‌iPhone 16‌ Plus will apparently be offered in black, green, pink, blue, and white. The <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-15/">iPhone 15</a> and ‌iPhone 15‌ Plus are available in black, green, pink, blue, and yellow. This means that white will replace yellow, with the colors remaining the same. <br/> <br/>Kuo noted that Apple may rename some of the existing colors, such as when it changed the <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/iphone/">iPhone</a> 12's "White" to the <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-13/">iPhone 13</a>'s "Starlight." Likewise, where color names are not changed, the actual tone and appearance may still look different.

The new model will apparently feature an upgraded chip and enhanced location tracking capabilities. <br/> <br/>In October 2023, Apple analyst <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/ming-chi-kuo/">Ming-Chi Kuo</a> said mass production of the second-generation ‌AirTag‌ had been postponed from the fourth quarter of 2024 <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2023/10/18/airtag-2-postponed-until-2025/">until some point in 2025</a>.

Following their unveiling at last week's "Let Loose" Apple event, the new iPad Pro and iPad Air models launched this week alongside the Apple Pencil Pro and revamped Magic Keyboard, bringing the first updates to Apple's iPad lineup in over 18 months.<br/> <br/><img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2024/05/top-stories-18may2024.jpg" alt="" width="1600" height="900" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-951514" /><br/>This week also saw the release of iOS 17.5 and related operating system updates, while Apple previewed some clever new accessibility features coming later this year and we got an intriguing rumor about the 2025 iPhone lineup, so read on below for all the details on these stories and more!<br/> <br/><h2>Hands-On With New iPad Pro: M4 Chip, OLED Display, and More</h2><br/>The <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-pro/">new iPad Pro</a> and <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-air/">iPad Air</a> models launched on Wednesday after being unveiled by Apple last week.<br/> <br/><img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2024/05/M4-iPad-First-Impressions-Thumb-4.jpg" alt="" width="2500" height="1406" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-950936" /><br/>We <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2024/05/15/m4-ipad-pro-hands-on/">shared a hands-on video for the new iPad Pro</a>, which has several new features compared to the previous model, including a <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2024/05/10/m4-ipad-pro-cpu-benchmark/">faster M4 chip</a>, a brighter OLED display, a thinner design, the front camera and Face ID sensors moved to the landscape edge of the device, and compatibility with the <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2024/05/07/apple-announces-magic-keyboard-ipad-pro/">redesigned Magic Keyboard</a> and <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2024/05/09/apple-pencil-pro-features/">Apple Pencil Pro</a>.<br/> <br/><h2>Hands-On With the New M2 iPad Air</h2><br/>In addition to the new M4 iPad Pro, we also picked up an M2 iPad Air in order to see what's new with the mid-tier iPad family and <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2024/05/17/m2-ipad-air-hands-on/">shared our early thoughts in a hands-on video</a>. The new 13-inch size option is of course the most obvious change, but the new M2 chip is a welcome spec bump and the relocated front camera is great for those who want to use their iPad in a landscape orientation.<br/> <br/><img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2024/05/M2-Air-Hands-On-Thumb-1.jpg" alt="" width="2500" height="1406" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-951431" /><br/>The M2 iPad Air is at least $400 cheaper than the M4 iPad Pro, so you can save quite a bit of money while still getting a very capable device that will last you for years.<br/> <br/><h2>iPhone 17 Lineup Rumored to Feature All-New Slim Model Above Pro Max With 'Major Redesign'</h2><br/>We've been hearing a few rumors about an "iPhone 17 Slim" to replace the current "Plus" model for the 2025 iPhone lineup, and this week we got <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2024/05/17/slimmer-iphone-17-major-redesign-rumor/">additional detail on what this device might be</a>.<br/> <br/><img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2023/09/iPhone-15-Pro-Lineup-Feature.jpg" alt="" width="2500" height="1406" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-911423" /><br/>According to <em>The Information</em>, Apple is aiming to discontinue the Plus model with the iPhone 17 lineup, and this new "Slim" model will sit at the top of the lineup above the Pro Max model.

The current iPhone SE starts at $429 in the U.S. with 64GB of storage, with other key features including a 4.7-inch display, A15 Bionic chip, 5G support, a single 12-megapixel rear camera, and a Lightning port.<br/> <br/>Keep track of our <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-se/">iPhone SE roundup</a> for the latest rumors.<div class="linkback">Related Roundup: <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-se/">iPhone SE</a></div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: <a href="https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#iPhone_SE">iPhone SE (Don't Buy)</a></div><div class="linkback">Related Forum: <a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/iphone.99">iPhone</a></div><br/>This article, "<a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2024/05/17/when-to-expect-the-next-iphone-se/">When to Expect the Next iPhone SE to Launch</a>" first appeared on <a href="https://www.macrumors.com">MacRumors.com</a><br/><br/><a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/when-to-expect-the-next-iphone-se-to-launch.2426709/">Discuss this article</a> in our forums<br/><br/>]]></description> </item> <item> <title>Game Boy Emulator 'Delta' for iPhone Updates App Icon After Adobe 'Threatened Legal Action'</title> <link>https://www.macrumors.com/2024/05/17/delta-changes-app-icon-to-avoid-adobe-legal-action/</link> <comments>https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/game-boy-emulator-delta-for-iphone-updates-app-icon-after-adobe-threatened-legal-action.2426704/</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 17 May 2024 13:15:48 PDT</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.macrumors.com/2024/05/17/delta-changes-app-icon-to-avoid-adobe-legal-action/</guid> <dc:creator>Joe Rossignol</dc:creator> <category>App Store</category> <category>Adobe</category> <category>Emulator</category> <description><![CDATA[The developers behind the popular <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2024/04/17/delta-emulator-hands-on/">Game Boy emulator Delta for the iPhone</a> said they updated the app's icon today to avoid potential legal action from Adobe.<br/> <br/><div class="center-wrap"><img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2024/05/Delta-App-Icon-Update-Adobe-AEM-Feature.jpg" alt="" width="2250" height="1266" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-951476" /><em>Delta's new app icon (left) and Adobe's logo (right)</em></div><br/>"Adobe threatened legal action unless we changed our app icon — so we did," say the release notes for the latest version of Delta <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/delta-game-emulator/id1048524688">on the App Store</a>.<br/> <br/>Delta's former icon does look like a mirrored version of Adobe's logo, which is a registered trademark in the U.S. and other countries.

That friend updated the ‌iPad‌ to iPadOS 17.5 this week, and began seeing the Reddit user's old photos reappearing in the <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/photos/">Photos</a> app. <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/ios/comments/1cspwh2/my_old_photos_appeared_on_an_ipad_i_sold/">From Reddit</a>:<blockquote>I wiped the iPad using official Apple guides before selling. I never logged into that iPad with my Apple ID after erasing the iPad. I sold my iPad to a friend in September 2023, they called me today after updating to iPad OS 17.5 and said my old pictures appeared in their Photos app... HUGE PRIVACY VIOLATION. I see other reports of this. How many people will get other people's photos on the devices they bought from other people?</blockquote>The impacted ‌iPad‌ was a fourth-generation 12.9-inch <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-pro/">iPad Pro</a> that had been updated to the latest operating system update, and before it was sold, it was erased <a href="https://support.apple.com/en-ca/109511">per Apple's instructions</a>. The Reddit user says they did not log back in to the ‌iPad‌ at any point after erasing it, so it is entirely unclear how their old photos ended up reappearing on the device.<br/> <br/>Earlier this week, we shared several other reports of users who saw <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2024/05/15/ios-17-5-bug-deleted-photos-reappear/">deleted photos resurfacing</a> on their devices after updating, but those reports were from users who still owned their devices and were logged into their own <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/icloud/">iCloud</a> Photo Libraries and Apple IDs.<br/> <br/>The latest report suggests that the erased and sold ‌iPad‌ is somehow restoring old photos from an <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/apple-id/">Apple ID</a> that is no longer signed in to it. The Reddit user says the photos that are reappearing are from 2017, which is in line with similar reports. The images were initially taken on an <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/iphone/">iPhone</a>, and so had been synced to the ‌iPad‌ via <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/icloud-photo-library/">iCloud Photo Library</a> before the ‌iPad‌ was wiped and sold.<br/> <br/>Other users have seen photos from years ago (as late as 2010) reappearing suddenly, with no explanation for why. Not all users are seeing this problem, nor does it appear to be impacting all deleted images.<br/> <br/>Apple devices are supposed to retain photos for 30 days in the Recently Deleted section of the ‌Photos‌ app, and images should be deleted automatically if a second delete procedure is carried out from the Recently Deleted interface. Apple has not yet provided any information on why some users may be seeing photos reappearing, and it is concerning to hear of a report of old photos showing up on a device that was wiped and sold.<br/>This article, "<a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2024/05/17/ios-17-5-bug-wiped-devices-photos-resurfacing/">iOS 17.5 Bug May Also Resurface Deleted Photos on Wiped, Sold Devices</a>" first appeared on <a href="https://www.macrumors.com">MacRumors.com</a><br/><br/><a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/ios-17-5-bug-may-also-resurface-deleted-photos-on-wiped-sold-devices.2426698/">Discuss this article</a> in our forums<br/><br/>]]></description> </item> <item> <title>Hands-On With the New M2 iPad Air</title> <link>https://www.macrumors.com/2024/05/17/m2-ipad-air-hands-on/</link> <comments>https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/hands-on-with-the-new-m2-ipad-air.2426687/</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 17 May 2024 10:44:03 PDT</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.macrumors.com/2024/05/17/m2-ipad-air-hands-on/</guid> <dc:creator>Juli Clover</dc:creator> <category>Featured</category> <category>iPad Air</category> <description><![CDATA[Apple this week came out with new <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-pro/">iPad Pro</a> and <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-air/">iPad Air</a> models. The ‌iPad Pro‌ has a next-generation M4 chip and an OLED display so it got much of the attention, but Apple added a whole new size to the Air lineup to offer a more affordable way to get a bigger screen. We spent some time with the new ‌iPad Air‌ to see what's new and whether it's worth buying.<br/> <br/><div class="center-wrap"><iframe title="13" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/J12xb7kQseo" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/macrumors?sub_confirmation=1">Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel</a> for more videos.</em></div><br/>The smaller version of the ‌iPad Air‌ measures in at 11 inches, and the larger version is 13 inches, the same as the ‌iPad Pro‌. Prior to now, the only way to get a 13-inch tablet was to buy the Pro, but the new Air is a much more affordable option.<br/> <br/>Pricing starts at $599 for the 11-inch version and $799 for the 13-inch version, while the 11-inch ‌iPad Pro‌ is priced starting at $999 and the 13-inch ‌iPad Pro‌ is $1,299. So the 13-inch Air is a full $500 cheaper. You're losing out on the OLED display, ProMotion, compatibility with the new Magic Keyboard, and the M4 chip, <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/ipad-air-vs-ipad-pro/">but not too much else</a>.<br/> <br/>The <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/m2/">M2</a> chip in the ‌iPad Air‌ is still super fast and able to handle anything you might want to do on an <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad/">iPad</a>, and while the display doesn't have the brightness or the contrast of the OLED display, it's good enough for almost everyone.<br/> <br/>Confusingly, the ‌iPad‌ "Air" name no longer really fits because the ‌iPad Pro‌ models are now thinner and lighter than the Air models, so you can also expect a little bit of extra bulk going with the Air line. The ‌iPad Air‌ can only be used with the prior-generation Magic Keyboard, but it does work with the new <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/apple-pencil/">Apple Pencil</a> Pro that has haptic feedback and a gyroscope for barrel roll.<br/> <br/>At $799, the 13-inch ‌iPad Air‌ paired with a keyboard is probably the best ‌iPad‌ for those who want a computer replacement, given its size, speed, and price point. The 11-inch model is ideal if you want something smaller and more affordable that's still powerful, but for those who just want a simple tablet for watching movies or browsing the web, even the Air might be too much tablet.<br/> <br/>What do you think of the revamped ‌iPad Air‌ and <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2024/05/07/apple-full-ipad-lineup/">Apple's new iPad lineup</a>?

The report says the device could have a higher price tag than the Pro Max model, which currently starts at $1,199, suggesting that the device would become the new highest-end model in the lineup.<br/> <br/><img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2023/09/iPhone-15-Pro-Lineup-Feature.jpg" alt="" width="2500" height="1406" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-911423" /><br/>The device will allegedly feature a "major redesign" akin to the iPhone X, and this could involve the rear cameras being relocated from the top-left corner of the device to the "top center," along with a narrower Dynamic Island. The device will have between a 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch display size, the report adds. Other potential features mentioned include an aluminum chassis, an A19 chip, and an improved front camera.<br/> <br/>As part of this plan, the report says that Apple does not plan to release an iPhone 17 Plus next year, so the lineup would still consist of four models.<br/> <br/>This is the third time that a slimmer iPhone 17 model has been rumored this month, following reports <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2024/05/06/iphone-17-slim-rumor/">from Apple supply chain analyst Jeff Pu</a> and display industry expert Ross Young, who said the device <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2024/05/06/iphone-17-slim-to-feature-6-55-inch-display/">will have a 6.5-inch screen</a>.<br/> <br/>The report cautions that Apple is still testing multiple designs for this new iPhone, and potential delays could push the device's release beyond 2025.<div class="linkback">Tag: <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/theinformation-com/">The Information</a></div><br/>This article, "<a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2024/05/17/slimmer-iphone-17-major-redesign-rumor/">iPhone 17 Lineup Rumored to Feature All-New Slim Model Above Pro Max With 'Major Redesign'</a>" first appeared on <a href="https://www.macrumors.com">MacRumors.com</a><br/><br/><a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/iphone-17-lineup-rumored-to-feature-all-new-slim-model-above-pro-max-with-major-redesign.2426680/">Discuss this article</a> in our forums<br/><br/>]]></description> </item> <item> <title>Some iPhone Users Say 'Allow Apps to Request to Track' Toggle is Suddenly Grayed Out [Fixed]</title> <link>https://www.macrumors.com/2024/05/17/iphone-app-tracking-toggle-grayed-out-issue/</link> <comments>https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/some-iphone-users-say-allow-apps-to-request-to-track-toggle-is-suddenly-grayed-out-fixed.2426681/</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 17 May 2024 09:30:55 PDT</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.macrumors.com/2024/05/17/iphone-app-tracking-toggle-grayed-out-issue/</guid> <dc:creator>Joe Rossignol</dc:creator> <category>App Tracking Transparency</category> <description><![CDATA[Over the past few days, some iPhone users have said the "Allow Apps to Request to Track" toggle in the Settings app is suddenly grayed out on their devices. The issue was <a href="https://x.com/iDeviceHelpus/status/1791298492004188306">highlighted by @iDeviceHelpus on X</a>, and in a <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/ios/comments/1cthk6t/allow_apps_to_request_to_track_setting_is_greyed/">post on Reddit</a>.<br/> <br/><img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2024/05/Allow-Apps-to-Request-to-Track-Grayed-Out-Feature-1.jpg" alt="" width="2500" height="1406" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-951383" /><br/>Apple's fine print below the grayed-out toggle says "this setting cannot be changed because a profile is restricting it, or because your Apple ID is being managed, does not meet the minimum age requirements, or is missing age information." However, many affected users say none of these reasons actually apply to them.<br/> <br/>While some affected users said the issue began after they updated their iPhones to iOS 17.5, released earlier this week, others said they are also impacted on older software versions, including iOS 17.4.1, iOS 17.4, and iOS 16.6. The root cause of the problem is unclear. We have reached out to Apple for comment.<br/> <br/>With multiple iOS versions affected, and some users saying the problem eventually resolved itself, it is likely this is a server-side issue.<br/> <br/>Located in the Settings app under Privacy & Security → Tracking, the "Allow Apps to Request to Track" setting normally allows apps to ask to track your activity across other apps and websites when it is turned on. When the setting is turned off, all new app tracking requests are automatically denied. The setting is part of Apple's <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/app-tracking-transparency/">App Tracking Transparency</a> feature, introduced with iOS 14.5 around three years ago.<br/> <br/><strong>Update:</strong> Apple says it has fixed an issue that may have briefly disabled the "Allow Apps to Request to Track" setting for some iPhone users on iOS 14 and above.
