The iPhone Air reaches one year on sale next month, and Apple is now closer to launching its successor than it is to the original's debut. On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss what's next for the device.The first-generation model has had a difficult run. A KeyBanc Capital Markets survey found virtually no demand for the device within weeks of its September 2025 launch, supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported that suppliers were asked to cut capacity by more than 80%between launch and early 2026, and Luxshare and Foxconn both wound down production, leaving the phone believed to be entirely out of manufacture. Apple discounted it heavily in March, and SellCell data put its ten-week depreciation at 44.3% on average, against 34.6% for the iPhone 17series. The Weibo leaker known as "Digital Chat Station" said in May that the device had barely surpassed 700,000 activations even after multiple rounds of price cuts.A single rear camera left a $999 phone looking less capable than the cheaper ‌iPhone 17‌, which has two, and the absence of the iPhone 17 Pro's vapor chamber cooling means the Air runs warmer under load. It also lacks stereo speakers. Battery life falls short of a full day for many users, mitigated in part by the dedicated MagSafe battery accessory Apple sells alongside it. With the ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ starting at $1,099, the Air occupies a $100 gap that gave buyers little reason to stop there.Almost every change rumored for the second-generation model targets one of those points. Bloomberg reported in June that Apple will add an Ultra Wide lens alongside the existing 48-megapixel Fusion camera, and that the dual-lens design has reached advanced testing with the same exterior as the current model save for the extra lens. Almost everything other than the battery sits inside the ‌iPhone Air‌'s camera plateau, and Apple has reportedly asked suppliers for an ultra-thin Face ID module to free up space. The company also plans to adopt Samsung's CoE display technology, which is thinner and brighter than the current panel and debuts first on the foldable iPhone. Digital Chat Station expects a 3,500mAh battery, up from 3,149mAh, and The Information reported that Apple wants the device to be lighter and to gain vapor chamber cooling despite the added hardware.The device will also likely feature the A20 Pro chip, binned in some form like its predecessor, along with Apple's second-generation N2 wireless networking chip, the C2 modem, and 12GB of RAM, unchanged from the current model. Externally, little is expected to change beyond the additional rear camera, but Pu expects a slightly smaller Dynamic Island, in line with the wider iPhone 18lineup. A lavender color option could replace Sky Blue.Pricing is the biggest open question. The Information reported that Apple is considering a lower price for the second model, but the surrounding lineup is moving too. Pu expects the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max to cost $250 to $300 morethan the current Pro models owing to 2nm silicon and memory costs, and the foldable iPhone is rumored to start somewhere between roughly $2,000 and $2,500. A widened gap between the Air and the Pro tier could change the calculation that undermined the original, particularly once the camera disparity with the standard iPhone disappears.The leaker "Fixed Focus Digital" claimed in April that Apple will push through at least two generations of the device no matter how poorly it sells, a position consistent with Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who expects the Air 2 in spring 2027 alongside the standard iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e. Nikkei Asia reported in January that no second-generation Air was expected before 2027 at the earliest.Apple's confidence in the fall lineup appears to be growing in the meantime. The company reportedly told suppliers to prepare roughly 10 million foldable iPhones this year, up from an earlier forecast of seven to eight million, and has booked parts for around 80 million smartphones in the second half of 2026. Samsung, meanwhile, says the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra, and Z Flip 8 drew 1.44 million pre-orders in South Korea across seven days, a company record, with the redesigned Z Fold 8 accounting for close to half of them.The ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌, ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max, and foldable iPhone are expected in September, and Apple has already begun preparing for the event, opening a lottery for U.S. retail employees to staff it.

This week's episode of The MacRumors Show looks ahead to the 20th anniversary iPhone, the radically redesigned model that Apple is expected to launch in 2027.0:00 Introduction1:51 What Will Apple Call the 20th Anniversary iPhone?5:03 Is It Time to Abandon iPhone Numbers?7:29 Sponsor: Shopify8:44 The Biggest iPhone Redesign Since iPhone X14:07 Under-Display Technology and the End of Dynamic Island18:22 Haptic Buttons and Apple's All-Glass Vision22:03 Apple's Custom Camera Sensor24:34 The Ideal iPhone and the Future of Foldables29:20 Battery Life, Denser Batteries, and Reverse Charging36:02 Why Apple's Charging Ecosystem Needs an Overhaul38:14 Apple Needs to Reinvigorate Its AccessoriesApple's plans for the device's name remain unclear. The company skipped "iPhone 9" and moved straight to the iPhone X for the handset's 10th anniversary in 2017, and it is widely expected to skip "iPhone 19" in the same way. Rumors have referred to the 2027 models as both the "iPhone 20" and the "iPhone XX" as placeholder names, and it is still possible that they will sit above the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max as a separate, higher-tier directly, even though they are more likely to replace them as usual. Apple has reset iPhone branding before with the iPhone Air, whose successor is expected to be the iPhone Air 2.The 2027 iPhone is rumored to be the biggest redesign since the iPhone X. Apple is reportedly aiming for a near bezel-less design with curved glass that wraps around all four edges and a return to a glass back, in line with the single slab of glass that former design chief Jony Ive long described as a goal. The frame is said to be a thin polished band, potentially in a material other than the aluminum used on Apple's straight-edged models, with the display curving onto the sides rather than following one consistent curve.Displays that curve down the sides can be prone to accidental touches, an issue seen on earlier Android handsets with waterfall edges, though Apple is expected to engineer the device to work with a case. The extent of the curvature, and how far the display appears to refract at the edges, is not yet clear.Apple reportedly wants a front with no cutouts, but some of the under-display technology is unlikely to be ready in time, meaning some form of front-facing cutout is expected to persist. Current reporting points to a gradually shrinking Dynamic Island, Face ID components moving beneath the panel, and an under-display camera arriving last, since image quality still degrades when a lens sits behind the display.Apple is also rumored to be revisiting solid-state haptic buttons, reviving the "Project Bongo"effort that reached prototype hardware years ago before being shelved. Reports have cited several potential motivations, including a cleaner frame with no moving parts, a reduction in the mechanical button failures that account for many AppleCare repairs, and additional internal space for a larger battery or additional haptic engine.Apple is reported to be developing a custom image sensor that would replace the Sony sensors currently used across the iPhone lineup, following the company's move to bring its silicon, modem, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth chips in-house. The rear camera plateau is likely to remain, owing to the space required by the folded optics used for the telephoto lens.The anniversary models are expected to share a second-generation 2-nanometer A21 chip, along with efficiency gains and a newer Apple modem. A 6,000mAh battery has appeared in some rumors, though it is unclear whether that figure is based on supply chain information.Reverse wireless charging appeared in the same report and would let the iPhone top up accessories such as AirPods or an Apple Watch. The underlying hardware is already present, since iPhones can charge a MagSafe battery pack through their wireless coil, but Apple has never enabled the capability for other devices, a feature Samsung has offered on its phones for several years. Its viability on the anniversary model may depend on the larger battery and efficiency gains rumored for the device, given how much charge reverse wireless charging draws from the handset itself.This year's ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ models are rumored to be a more modest update, with the larger redesign reserved for the 20th anniversary model. It is expected to arrive in the fall of 2027, following the iPhone 18, iPhone 18e, and ‌iPhone Air‌ 2 in the spring.

Unity just made direct-to-consumer payments free for every developer on its IAP SDK. No take rate, no fees. So what's the catch?I sat down with Steve Ganem, VP of Product at Unity, to unpack the real strategy — and it turns out the story isn't about payments at all. It's about data.Steve brings a rare vantage point: 19 years in games (EA, Activision's Tony Hawk franchise, 11 years running his own studio through the free-to-play transition), then a decade at Google Analytics. In this conversation we cover why "free" is a rational move rather than a giveaway, why going D2C without Unity could actually cost developers ad signal, the conversion tradeoff most coverage skips (web checkout is harder than Face ID), and how this connects to Unity's advertising business and its AI platform, Vector.Whether you're a developer weighing D2C, a PM modeling the conversion math, or an investor watching Unity's turnaround, this one goes well past the announcement.

Instagram got hacked, and the way it happened was idiotic. Meta's AI doesn't know the difference between an AI deepfake and a legit facial verification video. Multiuple government accounts got hacked, including Obama's old White House account. This shows exactly why Facial ID could be a complete disaster, yet they keep pushing it.

Workforce security in healthcare is no longer just about compliance—it's about creating a seamless, secure digital experience for employees and patients.  In this episode, host Sandy Vance chats with Chandramouli Dorai, Chief Evangelist - Cybersecurity Solutions and Digital Signatures at Zoho.com. Today, they will explore how password management, secure browsers, multi-factor authentication (MFA), identity and access management (IAM), and identity verification in document signing all come together to build a zero-trust, future-ready healthcare workforce.  Healthcare organizations are under constant pressure to strengthen cybersecurity without slowing down clinicians and staff.  In this episode, they talk about: Healthcare organizations face a constant challenge in balancing strong cybersecurity protections with the need for convenience and productivity. Weak and reused passwords remain one of the most common vulnerabilities across organizations, despite years of awareness efforts. The 2024 Change Healthcare cyberattack demonstrated how a single account without multi-factor authentication can lead to massive data breaches and operational disruption. Employees often disable or avoid MFA because they perceive it as adding friction to their daily workflows. Modern authentication strategies must tightly integrate password management, single sign-on, and MFA to reduce friction while improving security. Passwordless authentication methods such as passkeys, Face ID, and Touch ID are helping organizations improve both security and user experience. Organizations adopting passwordless authentication are seeing measurable reductions in login time and increased user adoption. Identity and access management platforms can enforce role-based and time-based access controls to reduce unnecessary exposure to sensitive systems. AI-powered behavioral analytics can detect suspicious login activity and help organizations respond more quickly to threats. Secure onboarding and offboarding processes are critical for protecting healthcare data and preventing unauthorized access. Many healthcare organizations still operate in complex legacy environments, making interoperability and integration essential for workforce security solutions. CIOs should approach AI adoption strategically by first understanding their current environment, educating users, and implementing changes in phases. A Little About Mouli: Chandramouli Dorai (Mouli) is the chief evangelist for cybersecurity solutions and digital signatures at Zoho Corporation. Mouli brings over 12 years of experience leading marketing and product strategy at Zoho. He carries an active interest in topics like workforce productivity, security, trust, and compliance, often sharing his thoughts and expertise on social media platforms like X and LinkedIn.  “The greatest example is the 2024 Change Healthcare breach, which happened because of one compromised account. That one account lacked multi-factor authentication, which was a loose end, and the attacker was able to get into the network and get away with millions of confidential records. The major problem is the trade-off between security and convenience.”

We spent the first 30 years of our lives telling people we were fraternal twins.Everyone else thought that was ridiculous. We looked too much alike. But our doctor had told our mom we were fraternal, so that was the story we carried around as fact.Then, at 30 years old, we took a DNA test and found out everyone else had been right. We were identical twins all along.In this episode, we tell that story, but we also use it as a doorway into the stranger world of identical twins. Why are some identical twins misclassified as fraternal? Do identical twins actually have the same DNA? Why does science still not fully understand why identical twins happen? Can twins read each other's minds, or is something more ordinary and still kind of mysterious going on?We also get into the questions people have asked us our whole lives. Did we ever switch places? Could we unlock each other's iPhones with Face ID? Was there jealousy growing up? Did sharing an identity make it harder to become individuals? And why did being twins sometimes mean taking the blame for things only one of us did?Twins are familiar enough that everyone thinks they understand them. But underneath that familiarity is something much stranger.

Sony wants to scan your face to prove your age, and UK gamers aren't having it. Age verification goes into full effect on June 1, and PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 owners in the UK will need to verify their age with a driver's license or facial ID scan to be able to unlock chat, multiplayer and more features.

In MobileViews 608, I spent some time venting about Microsoft's new "Windows K2" effort to fix the performance and reliability issues in Windows 11—a move that feels long overdue considering, as Jon Westfall noted, the current OS uses React for the start menu rather than native forms. I also shared a warning about expiring secure boot certificates coming in June 2026, which may require manual registry fixes for those whose hardware doesn't receive automatic firmware updates. On the hardware front, my iPhone 15 Pro's battery health is dipping, but I'm hesitant about replacing it with the rumored iPhone Fold. While the larger form factor is appealing, rumors suggest it may lack Face ID and a telephoto lens, both of which are dealbreakers for my mobile photography and daily convenience. Jon shared a surprising shift in his workflow: returning to paper notebooks during meetings to improve interpersonal engagement, while using a Plaud Note device for the actual transcription. He also showcased his latest "vibe coding" success, building a card game app called "Pierogi Palace" in just 48 hours using ChatGPT and Codex to handle everything from the rule set to App Store screenshots. Meanwhile, I offered a mini-rant about Microsoft 365 Copilot, which has turned the once-simple task of scanning my daily doodles into a frustrating five-click process compared to the old, streamlined Microsoft Lens app. Looking ahead to Google I/O, we discussed the rumored "Aluminium OS," an AI-first operating system that aims to merge Chrome OS and Android. We wrapped up with some tech nostalgia, reflecting on the days when the original iPhone and Windows Phone 7 lacked built-in screenshot features—a sharp contrast to today's AI tools that can generate entire apps in a weekend. I also gave a shout-out to my 2019 Anker Bluetooth keyboard, which still works perfectly for my iPad Mini typing needs, proving that some hardware really is built to last.

Natalia Parker (00:04.206)Thank you. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (00:04.211)Hi, thank you for having me. Frazer Rice (00:05.966)We are, this is a new frontier for wealth actually. You are the first two person interview I’ve done so far. So it looks like the technical issues seem to have gone away. That’s great. But we’re gonna talk about something that I think is the driver for your new company and something that’s important to me because when I’m advising people around a lot of different topics, either estate planning wise or wealth management wise, the digital asset question comes up and. You’ve formed this new company. Tell us a little bit about that and more importantly tell us the problem that you’re trying to solve around digital assets Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (00:40.83)Okay, so I’ll first start with what is a digital asset because there’s a lot of different definitions out there and a lot of people have different concepts of what it might mean. of all, because crypto is in the news quite a bit, it is not just about crypto. Everybody has digital assets because basically if you are logging into an account and it is storing data, you have an account that has assets online and it could be monetized. It could be social media, which means that the information that’s there is very personal to you. It could be that you have reward points you’ve accumulated. There’s all sorts of types of assets that are out there and there is a pain point problem. Let’s die down. Natalia Parker (01:28.462)Yes, and we started actually, it was interesting, Tatiana just went through the process of writing a will and she will tell about it. I went through a divorce where we had online business and it was really, really hard to trace all those online accounts because I had no understanding how many we had and what to do with them and how even to find them. And Tatiana wrote a will. Frazer Rice (01:54.67)Yeah, no. so just to put a finer point on that, it’s not only the monetary assets and the social media accounts and everything that basically requires a password to get into it probably in this day and age. Natalia Parker (02:10.252)Yes, and I can tell you more than I lost pictures of my family from my daughter’s birth to age seven because I didn’t think that the iCloud password and iCloud identity gone through a divorce. Yes. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (02:10.336)That’s all. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (02:26.88)So she can resell for it. Yeah. Frazer Rice (02:26.992)Yeah, and a very painful thing to go through. so, Tatiana, as we sort of look at that example and make the definition a little bit even more in depth, how else do you sort of think about that in terms of the roles that are played from a Will’s perspective? Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (02:49.366)So from a will perspective, you have two kinds of entities. You have things where business owners have created online accounts where their business is running off of certain platforms. And you also have a personal side aspect. And it may be an influencer, it may just be your personal account. The thing is that we’re dealing with a problem of immortality. And this means that these accounts remain open, active and online, ready for hackers and ready for now, today, AI to continue the trajectory of that account because they’re making money off of the data that we’ve put online. So we actually have two things to look at. One is from the business perspective and how do you transfer a business over? Because maybe you’ve built a platform for 10 years on Facebook, right? You have a following which is important to your base. Maybe you’re just a mom and you’ve put all your baby pictures on there, like Natalia, and then what is the loss? What is the impact of that loss? And both are really difficult on families. So estate planning means that we actually need to be looking at these accounts, we actually need to be planning for these accounts, because down the line, it’s gonna be a heavy impact, whether it’s sociological, emotional, or monetary. Frazer Rice (04:14.552)So as we think about this little bit further, the concept that these accounts are going to live on beyond the life of someone who created them. Maybe dive into that a little bit, because I imagine you not only have points of risk, certainly during the lifetime, and someone hacking in and pillaging your bank account or otherwise maybe blocking access or something like that, but what happens when someone passes away? How do those risks translate to the people who are inheriting these properties? Natalia Parker (04:45.258)Okay, let’s talk about it. We have those certain pain points. The first one, when somebody dies, the executor or administrator, they don’t know what is existence. They don’t know what kind of accounts the person had, what they wanted to do with those accounts. That’s a first problem because they don’t know even what banking, where the life insurance, did they have Venmo because they don’t have access to phone. The second one, didn’t know what the person wanted to do with that account. Did they want to close, transfer, memorize it? They have no clue. The other one is authority as an executor doesn’t mean that you will get automatic access to the account. Many people think that yes, it is. No, for Google it doesn’t matter. Unless you were appointed as inactive account manager. The same for Apple. Frazer Rice (05:48.68)I was going to say those annoying terms of services agreements that no one reads and you click so that you get, you move on with life and get into your accounts, that’s where some of these details are buried. And the intersection between that and maybe what we call estate law and how an executor works, that’s where the friction takes place. Natalia Parker (06:09.43)Yes, I agree and many people don’t even know that that feature exists like legacy contact for Meta and Apple or inactive account manager. Otherwise, when you look at the hierarchy online tool, we call it Castonian tool, outweighs everything what you have in wheel. If the online tool wasn’t enabled, then it goes what kind of language you had in wheel. if you appointed some digital executor and if that executor was authorized to have access to all your accounts. The third one, it always default to terms of service. Terms of service for basically 99 % of each company says do not give access. Frazer Rice (06:56.09)So if you were stuck and you didn’t do anything and you relied on the terms of service, you could be in a really deep set of troubles. They might delete your account, they may not allow access, or they may make it otherwise very difficult in order to access and do it. You think that the person who died with it wanted to have done. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (07:16.246)That’s right. Natalia Parker (07:16.598)Absolutely. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (07:17.504)That’s why some of these really large companies have a custodial tool. You do have to go to certain settings within the device or within the account. And you can enable these tools so that you can either add what could be a legacy contact. It may not have the term beneficiary on it, but it’s important to be able to enact that so that these settings will allow certain access down the line. A lot of the companies are very particular about that the larger ones have it and then a lot of them don’t so Knowing which company has the most value to you and those terms of service is really important Frazer Rice (08:01.84).For someone who has an account that lives beyond them, there are identity and financial risks to having that. I can imagine, you know, when you put a credit card on file and, it’s auto-debated or you have information lurking out there that that’s a problem. Maybe talk a little bit about how bad that can get. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (08:21.517).So I think there’s a few issues on that. We all know that there are scammers and hackers. The really important stories that have come out in the past is where AI is enabling recopying your name, image, and likeness posing as you live on a video stream or live on a phone call asking for money or data or information. And this is becoming really prevalent. This is where families, if they want to save and secure their reputational legacy. But also perhaps crypto, perhaps their banking accounts, it’s really important that they understand that they are all subject to this hacking because probably the likelihood that they have a social media account is there and that means it has public access. Frazer Rice (09:17.636).So let’s dive into the tech problem. I can envision, and I’ve heard before, the concept of someone passes away and people can’t access the computer, the hard drive, the phone, all sorts of mechanisms that hold a lot of this data. I think you could probably extrapolate that to the cloud accounts and things like that where other information is held. How do you help people think about that? Natalia Parker (09:28.162).Mm-hmm. Natalia Parker (09:44.398).Two-factor authentication. It is your phone, your email, it is gateway to your estate, basically, administration. If you don’t have access to the deceased phone or email, you don’t know anything about their accounts, first of all, second of all, where all those codes are coming to, to that devices. Frazer Rice (10:08.72).Right. And how do you fix that problem? Natalia Parker (10:12.91).There are some settings on iPhone because we kind of everybody has iPhone some have androids but mostly it’s iPhones. Yes, you have to establish the legacy contact. You have to make sure that specific features are turned off or on like stolen device protection. If it is on, it’s basically impossible to override it. Frazer Rice (10:20.793).Right. Beware the green text. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (10:24.212).Bye. Natalia Parker (10:40.302).because if 48 hours, is it 48 or 72, Tatiana? Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (10:44.981).Well, so what she’s referring to is that the latest update in Apple has this feature for stolen theft mode, it’s called. So this happened to us on an actual case. Someone had given us a phone and they said, can you help us? The problem was the person had passed away over 100 miles away. because Apple tracks our location everywhere we go, it’s a habitual, you know, we’re creatures of habit, right? Same coffee shop, we go to the same store. So they know what our patterns of behavior are. As soon as it leaves that circle of trust, call it, that map of trust, theft mode can become enabled if the setting is on, which means that Apple has cut off any access to the phone. So for people who are dealing with families, let’s say, who live across state borders, this is a really difficult task for them. Because their phone is completely inaccessible because of theft mode not even because of the legacy contact. Natalia Parker (11:51.278)8. Frazer Rice (11:51.345)And then, you know, I’ve seen in movies and I’ve actually heard anecdotally, you know, the concept that the biometrics at play, they in a sense turn off too. It used to be you could take the phone and put it up to somebody’s face or you could take their finger and maybe get into the laptop by putting it onto the biometric reader. That world doesn’t exist anymore, correct? Natalia Parker (11:58.594)Mm-hmm. Natalia Parker (12:12.162).Correct. When you’re dead, the Face ID doesn’t work really well. Frazer Rice (12:17.59)Well, and that tells you something that they can tell whether you’re dead or not. And I would not have made that comment maybe six weeks ago before we started talking about this, saying, geez, these things are getting smarter. So as we start thinking about this, we’ve sort of analyzed a couple of pain points, areas where if you’re an executor and someone’s situation comes across their desk and they say, gosh, first of all, I have to try to know. Natalia Parker (12:19.758)Yes. Frazer Rice (12:43.81)What accounts are out there, what social media accounts, what subscriptions, what bank accounts, what crypto, what IP, that type of thing. So getting your arms around that’s important. Then the idea of hopefully someone has been organized enough to lay out where the accounts are and how to access them in one way, shape or form. And we can get into what a good practice is on that. But then if you’re the executor slash in conjunction with the estate planner slash the client, Natalia Parker (12:48.545)Yes. Frazer Rice (13:13.402)How do you plan for this so that you create a real organized state of affairs for the person who has to actually manage this stuff going forward? Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (13:22.797)So I think it’s important to understand priorities. So everyone’s different, everyone’s unique. There may be priorities that are social media based priorities where there’s a lot of crypto at stake or monetary funds, even perhaps reward points. That priority list is best done in an inventory. Where we specialize is in the directives for this. So we’ve actually researched all these terms of services for hundreds of companies. We maintain this database so that someone can say, okay, if it’s company A, company A has three options for a directive. You can select that directive. That means that the executor will then know exactly, this is what needs to be done with this account and this is what is of value either for the descendants, the beneficiaries, and so on. So first the inventory, but actually the directives is really important. Frazer Rice (14:21.904)By directives, mean something maybe an addendum to the will or something like that that says these the information or the value, whether it’s monetary or otherwise, is going to be transmitted to such and such a person and given full access to it. Is that really is that part of the advice is to say, you know, for the modern will drafter, let’s say that it’s a really good idea to have an inventory of what these digital assets are. To set out who gets what in the will so that there’s a, let’s call it a backstop, so that if you have problems with the terms of service or something like that, you have something that goes through probate where somebody opines on that and you can actually get access to it after the fact. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (14:50.061)Yep. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (15:08.565)Yeah, so there’s two points there. There’s the access part and then there’s the directive part. Natalia Parker (15:09.313)Yes. Frazer Rice (15:13.315)Okay. Natalia Parker (15:13.556)Yes, there’s, yes, sorry, there is a language in the will where it’s actually specified that this is a digital executor who has the right to access all those accounts and perform all those duties. Frazer Rice (15:32.068)Got it. so in your experience, so Facebook or Google or Coinbase or things like that, for me anyway, in the last maybe three or four years ago, to get somebody on the phone to even have any understanding of what you’re talking about was gonna be just forget it, not happening. Are they getting better at understanding these situations? Natalia Parker (15:56.074)No, they’re not. They’re not. They don’t care. Facebook, it’s all AI. You don’t get a person on the phone in any case, Coinbase. You can, but it’s weeks of waiting for the response and they will ask you, we lost it. Can you resend it again? All three companies you name, they do have policies.for transferring or for somebody who is dead. But it’s still very, very difficult to deal with them. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (16:32.069)To add to that too and I’ll give you a case example is that we had social media requests to take the accounts down. Meta of course owns both Instagram and Facebook right and the images and memories that were left on these accounts were actually harming the kids. The request was can we close these accounts out and of course you can but Facebook interestingly enough agreed of course to close the account and even though it’s owned by Meta, Instagram said, no, these photos do not violate our terms of service. So it doesn’t mean you can close out both just because it’s Metta. It’s really, really specific and it’s really in their hands. Frazer Rice (17:19.003)Lovely. That will warm people’s hearts that have to deal with this. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (17:22.143)Natalia Parker (17:22.638)Yes, it’s hard. And can you imagine we deal with this day after day, but people who have never been in this position, they don’t even know where to start. Frazer Rice (17:34.747)So walk us through what you think a good scenario would be for someone who wants to, let’s say they have, I don’t know, a bunch of accounts, both monetary and social media and maybe miles and maybe other things, stuff like that. And they walk into a trust and estate lawyer’s office and they say, okay, I’ve got my house, I’ve got my liquid assets, that stuff trust and estate lawyers know how to deal with. but let’s say the lawyers aren’t as facile with the digital assets. A, help the person be a better client for that trust and states person so that it’s organized. And then, let’s start with that and then I have a follow-up question. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (18:21.055). Okay, I would say the first thing is that, you know, there are modern problems and we need modern solutions. And that starts with the discovery and conversation that we do have these immortal accounts online. As much as we may not want to think about it, and we can get into other stories about this, but I won’t do that now, there are reasons to enact on these accounts. That means deleting them, transferring, closing, out data, it might be biological data. There’s a lot of data and for me that means that data is money. It may not be money to us, but it’s money to companies. And what you want done with that is your choice still. So it’s important to make that decision. I think that any estate planning attorney who starts this conversation with their clients is already helping move the needle because everyone has online accounts, the average user has at least probably around 200 accounts by now. And that’s without a work account. Natalia Parker (19:28.492)Yes, we developed a tool basically where we have inventory and 15-20 minutes with assigned directives and it’s prompt. Just choose the companies you have accounts with. They don’t have to remember. just, okay, I identified those companies and we already give them a choice of pre-selected, pre-vetted directives, assigned a directive. Then take these report and go to your state attorney. Bring it, yes, bring it to them, include it into the wheel with specific language, appoint a digital executor, you’re set. Then you will just have to support it, kind of. Frazer Rice (20:11.609)No, so then the next question, so let’s say the paperwork from a will and a revocable trust, et cetera, is up to speed and covers the authority to access these. Then let’s say the executor is not the attorney and it’s a family member or a friend or something like that and you’re giving them the honor of helping to deal with all of this stuff. What do you deliver to them to help them be prepared for that time when you pass away? Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (20:39.479)We- Natalia Parker (20:39.5)We give step by step directions on how to deal with each company. We give what this company has, what kind of account is that, what kind of paperwork you need, what kind of documents in what time frame. For some companies it’s three years, for matter in their terms of service it’s 28 days, but hey, you have an account for years there. Anyway, we give step by step directions. How to deal with this account to fulfill the directive. But if they can’t or they don’t want to, they can always hire and come to us. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (21:11.597)Go. Frazer Rice (21:17.361)Sure. No, that’s the backstop too, is that you not only provide the tool, but also some support behind the tool and the experience of having dealt with some of those folks, maybe even the contacts to call it one or the other company to maybe get from A to Z a little bit faster. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (21:18.326)Well… Natalia Parker (21:20.717)Yeah. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (21:21.26)you Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (21:35.245)It can be very overwhelming, that is for sure, and I think tech is constantly changing and the terms of service is constantly changing. So we have lot of barriers to entry to enact professional executorship and do it as best we can and a lot of it is because of technical bottlenecks, if you like. Natalia Parker (21:45.165)Mm-hmm. Frazer Rice (22:00.101)So this is a bit of a catty question, which is how many times have you seen this properly set up? Because I can tell you right now, I feel like I’m pretty fashion forward as far as tech’s concerned. I see the issue. I know my estate plan. The poor person, in this case, my sister, who’s my executor, she’s gonna take one look at this and be like, thanks a lot, man. Natalia Parker (22:08.651)None. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (22:25.901)What? Frazer Rice (22:26.033)And so I’m guilty as charge number one, but is anybody doing this with any sort of specificity yet? Natalia Parker (22:26.478)you Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (22:34.785)Well, can I just… sorry. Natalia Parker (22:35.112)No. I’ll start, Tatiana. Here’s the problem. We came across some people and they say that, I have spreadsheets where all my accounts and passwords are written down and my wife will deal with that at some point. First of all, there is no directives for those accounts. And second of all, it’s still illegal to log in under somebody else’s logins. Frazer Rice (23:02.853)Right. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (23:04.567)And I was just gonna say the reason we started this company is exactly what you just described. My brother is my executor and I was like, man, there’s no way he’s gonna know how to start at all because I have my fingers in a lot of different businesses, my personal. And so, you know, that floor plan and sort of direction guide was sort of how we started this. It became intense. I mean with Natalia. It became a really intense research project. We have a database that is constantly being updated. As executors become executors or as will writers are writing wills, we really want everybody to understand the importance of technology in this process. Because it’s moving really fast. Now that AI has come about we can even throw in the whole name image and likeness problem which a whole other sort of barrier of questions to ask. Frazer Rice (24:11.501).No, I’m going to bring you all back on to tackle that one separately. I think it’s worth its own half hour sort of figuring that out. But in the meantime, tell us a little bit about how people can find you. One of the things that I think you have on your website and some of your materials is a digest. Really almost like a questionnaire or a brief that allows people to think through where they may have digital assets. It’s not just social media accounts and your bank accounts. They’re like fruit and flower miles, things like that. I hadn’t thought of that, but yes, that’s a big one. Where can people find you and what kind of resources do you have that people can get familiar with the topic as they embark on this fun assignment? Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (24:45.399)Thank you. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (24:59.809)So the first place is our website and it’s actually, even though our company name is Dexit, which stands for digital exit, it’s Dexitplan.com because where we are proud is the actual plan of action that we’ve been able to customize for any individual. And then yes, we do have a sort of discovery questionnaire so that they can understand exactly what impacts them the most, where they may want to look at these accounts and have a plan for them. And yeah, contact us anytime, email, phone. We’re here, we’re not chat bots. We want to be sure that you are talking to a human. We know how this AI slop is turning out and we don’t want to be any part of that. Frazer Rice (25:46.501)I was going to add on to that too. mean this is not just for the end clients, so for anybody who sort of understands that they have this issue, obviously check out your website and do all that. But I would argue that for the estate planners, the accountants, the wealth managers, etc. who are advising clients, it’s a good resource to kind of help you get your arms around it in terms of advising people who are looking for help on all these different things. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (25:55.041)Yeah. Natalia Parker (25:55.575)Yes. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (26:04.68)See you Natalia Parker (26:11.136)Yes, because you can have the most compliant language in the world. But the executor will still start with the zero on day one. They don’t know the inventory. They don’t have the directives. Finally, they don’t know how to deal with those accounts. Frazer Rice (26:32.491).So give us the website one more time. Then take us out here with a funny story. One you’ve dealt with in putting this company up to getting it up and running. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (26:42.381)Okay, so that sounds great. So Dexit Plan. It’s D-E-X-I-T-P-L-A-N dot com. Dexit Plan dot com. And I guess I’ll leave you with a text story. We worked with a church here locally. They had their domain name purchased in 1997 and posted as in your own personal name. The person passed away over 20 years ago. Nothing was ever done with the titling of the church’s domain name. But the church has been forever on this domain name. It’s been over 50 years so to remark it. Rebranding a dot org is not an easy task. Actually, no kidding it took us nine months to get the church back their domain name. That was finding people from 20 years ago reopening email accounts from a long time ago, getting signatures verified and processed. It is actually doable, but it is definitely a task. So planning ahead of time would save hundreds of hours and a lot of pain. Absolutely. Frazer Rice (27:52.241)No, good object lesson for companies too. That it’s a good idea to see who owns what. Your domain name, any other digital IP, we’ll call it that. If you don’t have that in place. You may have a real forensic accounting job in the tech world to get everything back. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (28:02.274)Yep. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (28:10.337)That’s right. Natalia Parker (28:10.72)Yeah. Frazer Rice (28:11.705)Natalia, Tatiana, thank you so much for being on and we’ll look forward to talking again soon. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (28:16.811)Thank you so much. Natalia Parker (28:16.888)Thank you.

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss all of the rumors surrounding Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone, now said to be called the “iPhone Ultra," which is shaping up to be a comprehensive redesign unlike anything the company has shipped before.The ‌iPhone Ultra‌ is expected to launch alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max this fall, though reports suggest it will ship after the Pro models, potentially as late as December. Pricing is expected to start at over $2,000, making it the most expensive iPhone Apple has ever sold.The device will have a book-style, passport-shaped design with a 4:3 aspect ratio, wider than it is tall and unlike any foldable currently on the market. When closed, it will have a 5.5-inch outer display; when open, a 7.8-inch inner OLED panel takes over, making it just slightly smaller than the 8.3-inch iPad mini. According to design leaks from Instant Digital, the device will measure just 4.5mm thick when unfolded, which would make it Apple's thinnest iPhone to date. The outer frame is said to be made of titanium for durability at that thinness, while the inner frame uses aluminum. The back features a glass finish with a shorter, iPhone Air-style camera plateau housing two horizontally arranged rear cameras.The same leak revealed that volume buttons are relocated to the top edge of the device, aligned to the right. The inner display features a single punch-hole cutout resulting in a smaller Dynamic Island, while a Touch ID power button and Camera Control remain on the right edge. Reports indicate the ‌iPhone Ultra‌ will support iPad-style multitasking and layouts for running apps side by side when unfolded, befitting its iPad mini-sized inner display. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has described it as the "most significant overhaul in the iPhone's history."Achieving that ultra-thin form factor comes with tradeoffs, and the ‌iPhone Ultra‌ will be missing several features that iPhone users have come to expect, in some ways echoing the compromises Apple made with the iPhone Air. The ‌iPhone Air‌ went without stereo speakers, a SIM card slot, and multiple rear cameras to achieve its 5.6mm frame; the ‌iPhone Ultra‌ faces similar constraints at an even more demanding 4.5mm. The ultra-thin chassis leaves no room for a triple-lens camera setup, so the telephoto lens found on iPhone Pro models is absent, leaving just a dual 48-megapixel rear system. More significantly, there is no space for the TrueDepth sensor array required for Face ID, meaning the ‌iPhone Ultra‌ will rely on a side-button ‌Touch ID‌ module instead.Under the hood, the ‌iPhone Ultra‌ is expected to feature Apple's A20 chip paired with 12GB of RAM. Storage options are said to include 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB. Battery capacity is reportedly in the 5,400mAh to 5,800mAh range, which would put it among the largest ever in an iPhone despite its slim dimensions.The scale of Apple's production ambitions for the ‌iPhone Ultra‌ has already been tempered by manufacturing realities. Kuo initially indicated Apple placed orders for 15 to 20 million total foldable iPhones, though he noted demand would likely be limited due to the device's cost. By December, Kuo warned that early-stage yield and ramp-up challenges could mean smooth shipments may not occur until 2027, with potential shortages lasting through at least the end of 2026.The high asking price is expected to be a further constraint on volume: IDC projects the device will capture over 22% unit share of the foldables market in its first year, but that market remains a niche segment overall. The ‌iPhone Air‌'s underwhelming sales performance, with Kuo reporting suppliers cut production capacity by more than 80% after demand fell short of expectations, may serve as a cautionary tale for premium iPhone form-factor experiments.

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we talk through everything the iPhone 18 Pro will feature, according to the latest rumors. Following last year's major redesign, the ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ models are expected to feature a very similar design to their predecessors. There is expected to be a smaller Dynamic Island, with Face ID's flood illuminator component moved under the screen to reduce the cutout's size. It is rumored to be approximately 35% narrower than the iPhone 17 Pro's, shrinking from around 20.7mm to 13.5mm. The Pro Max will be slightly thicker than its predecessor, rising to around 8.8mm and over 240 grams to accommodate a larger battery of 5,100 to 5,200 mAh, up from the ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ Max's 5,088 mAh.The rear will see a slight design shift as well. Apple is reportedly dropping the two-tone look found on ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ models in favor of a more seamless aesthetic, with improved alignment between the Ceramic Shield back glass and the aluminum frame. The devices are also expected to come in a special red color.The camera system will undergo more substantial changes. Both Pro models' main 48-megapixel Fusion camera are rumored to feature variable aperture, which would allow users to control the lens opening to manage light intake and depth of field. The aperture would function similarly to a DSLR camera, giving photographers greater control over focus sharpness and background blur in different lighting conditions. Additionally, Samsung is developing a new three-layer sensor for the ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌, designed to reduce noise, improve dynamic range, and enhance camera responsiveness compared to Sony's current sensors.The Camera Control button is also getting a simplification. Rather than supporting both capacitive touch gestures and pressure sensing as on the iPhone 17, the iPhone 18 will rely on pressure sensing alone, reducing manufacturing complexity and the cost of repairs, while improving ease of use. The A20 Pro chip will mark Apple's debut of a 2-nanometer processor, with a reportedly 15% speed increase and about 30% better power efficiency compared to the A19 Pro. The chip will use TSMC's Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Moduletechnology, integrating RAM directly onto the same wafer as the CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine rather than mounting it separately, which should improve performance and battery life while reducing the physical footprint of the chip.The ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ models will also feature Apple's C2 modem, which is expected to bring faster speeds, improved power efficiency, and support for mmWave 5G in the United States, a capability absent from the C1 and C1X modems used in earlier iPhones. Other upgrades include Apple's N2 wireless chip and 5G satellite internet.The ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ and ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max are expected to launch in September 2026, with the standard ‌iPhone 18‌ and the lower-end iPhone 18e following in spring 2027. A foldable iPhone is also expected to debut alongside the Pro models in the fall.

Bienvenidos a un nuevo APPLEaks con TODO sobre el futuro de Apple: cambios radicales en producción, iPhone plegable, productos Ultra, línea NEO y el 50 aniversario. Arrancamos fuerte: 1 de cada 4 iPhones ya se produce en India. Apple se aleja de China y se viene producción en territorio americano. Además, Apple está probando impresión 3D de aluminio para iPhone y Apple Watch: bajan costos, usan aluminio reciclado y mejoran el diseño. iPhone plegable confirmado: ya empezó la producción y saldría este año en septiembre. Por eso NO habrá iPhone 18 estándar, solo 18 Pro y 18 Pro Max + el iPhone Fold. Tendrá multitarea como iPad y posiblemente se llame "iPhone Ultra" siguiendo la lógica de nombres actuales. Productos Ultra: nueva categoría de alta gama. MacBook Pro Ultra con procesador M6, pantalla táctil, isla dinámica y panel exclusivo. El M6 llegaría primero a esta línea. Productos NEO: la revolución de Apple. MacBook NEO con 8GB RAM (ojalá 12GB próximamente), puerto USB 2.0, pero diseño reparable (iFixit le dio la mejor calificación en 14 años). Precios: $399 regular, $299 para estudiantes. Se viene línea completa: iPhone NEO, iPad NEO, Mac NEO, iMac NEO, Mac Mini NEO. Esto destruye el mercado de entrada. iPhone 18 Pro: isla dinámica más pequeña, Face ID bajo píxeles activos, mejor batería, sensores de cámara superiores, Always On Display mejorado y mayor eficiencia energética. 50 aniversario de Apple (1 de abril): Tim Cook adelantó celebraciones masivas. Se viene libro "The First Fifty", eventos especiales, nueva categoría Ultra, productos de edición limitada con logo Rainbow del Apple II. Rumores de iPod edición limitada (20-40 millones de unidades escala Apple). Tim Cook se retiraría: después de llevar Apple de $350 millones a $4 trillones, daría un paso al costado. Jony Ive ya se fue, ahora manda Jeff Williams (quien trajo de vuelta MagSafe, puertos USB y todo lo que Johnny había sacado). Se viene sangre nueva. La cara del futuro: rumores indican que el personaje Finder Guy (el muchachito del Finder) sería la imagen visible del asistente de IA de Apple. Recuerda a Clippy de Microsoft. ¿Te gusta la idea?

In this episode of Reboot IT, host Dave Coriale, President of DelCor, sits down with Andrew Leggett, Director of Cybersecurity at DelCor, and Chris Ecker, Chief Technology Officer at DelCor, to unpack two critical cybersecurity topics every association and nonprofit should be thinking about right now: phishing‑resistant MFA and preparing your Microsoft 365 environment for Copilot. They discuss why passkeys truly improve the user experience, how oversharing in Microsoft 365 creates risk, and what steps organizations must take before deploying AI tools. This conversation is packed with practical guidance leaders can act on immediately.Themes and Topics:Why It's Time to Level Up Your MFATraditional MFA isn't enough anymore with modern phishing attacks. FIDO2 passkeys make logging in easier for your staff, not harder.Passkeys Are Way Simpler Than Passwords (Really!)A short PIN or FaceID is more secure than a long, complex password.Your device's TPM chip keeps those credentials locked down safely.How Modern Phishing Tricks Users, and What Stops ItAttackers now steal MFA approvals and ride along on active sessions. Phishing-resistant MFA shuts the door on those token-harvesting scams.Before You Turn on Copilot, Fix How Your Association Shares FilesYears of sharing files without guidelines or guardrails can create hidden risks.Copilot can surface any file users have access to, even old oversharing.Why 365 Sharing Settings Matter More Than EverUsers must run their own OneDrive reports (admins can't see it all).SharePoint tools help find where HR, finance, or executive docs may be exposed.Leadership Buy‑In Makes or Breaks These UpgradesChange management matters, especially if the C‑suite wants exceptions. Passkeys also offer a chance to simplify tools and retire extras like Duo.
