After over a month of testing iOS 27, on this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we circle back to the beta and talk through our experiences with Siri AI, Liquid Glass refinements, and more.iOS 27 is expected to launch this fall, bringing sweeping performance work across the system. Apple has cited more than 80 speed and efficiency improvements, with app launches up to 30 percent faster and AirDrop transfers up to 80 percent faster than on iOS 26. Animations, keyboard responsiveness, Home Screen page swapping, and App Library loading have all been sped up, and Apple says the improvements extend even to older iPhones like the iPhone 11.The centerpiece of iOS 27 is Siri AI, a substantially overhauled version of the assistant positioned as a rival to chatbots like Claude and ChatGPT. Siri AI can hold back-and-forth conversations, draw on personal context from Mail, Messages, Photos, and Files, and see what's on screen to answer follow-up questions. A new standalone Siri app houses ongoing conversations, while a "Search or Ask" interface, accessed via the Dynamic Island, has effectively replaced Spotlight as the default way to search the device and launch apps.Liquid Glass, the translucent design language introduced in iOS 26, has also been reworked. iOS 27 adds a system-wide transparency slider in place of the binary "Clear" and "Tinted" toggle from iOS 26.1, letting users dial the effect anywhere between fully opaque and completely clear. Apple also improved how the material diffuses busy content behind it, addressing readability complaints that dogged the original rollout, and refreshed first-party app icons with additional Liquid Glass layering.Elsewhere, Apple has leaned into contextual, on-device intelligence. For example, Call Context, a new Phone app feature, automatically surfaces relevant information, such as a flight confirmation number or order code pulled from Mail, when a user calls a business they've recently corresponded with. Apple says the feature works entirely on-device and looks only at who is being called, not at call audio, and it also appears on the Apple Watch during a call. Calendar and Reminders now support natural language entry, letting users type something like "meeting at 2pm with Eric on July 14" and have the app suggest the date, time, and attendees automatically. Apple says Siri can handle more complex natural-language scheduling requests directly, including edits to recurring events.The Photos app gains three generative editing tools grouped under an Apple Intelligence Tools section: an upgraded Clean Up, a new Extend tool, and Spatial Reframing. Clean Up now offers Fast, High Quality, and Auto modes for object removal and can reconstruct more complex backgrounds than before. Extend uses generative AI to fill in new content when a photo's borders are expanded, and is capped at a maximum of 25% per side. Spatial Reframing, which draws on the same spatial data used for Portrait mode, lets users shift a photo's apparent camera angle after it was taken.The Shortcuts app has been rebuilt around a "Describe a Shortcut" interface, where Apple Intelligence assembles an entire automation from a plain-language description rather than requiring users to build workflows action by action manually. Safari picks up a similar natural-language approach with a new Create an Extension option for building custom browser extensions on the fly, automatic AI-driven tab organization by topic, and a "Notify Me" tool that monitors a webpage and alerts users when it changes, which is useful, Apple says, for tracking ticket sales or restocked products. Image Playground has also been overhauled for iOS 27, adding support for photorealistic image generation, edits to existing images via text descriptions, and additional aspect ratio options for wallpapers and Contact Posters.iOS 27 is available now to developers and public beta testers, and Apple plans to release the software officially in September. The MacRumors Show has its own YouTube channel, so make sure you're subscribed to keep up with new episodes and clips.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when the tools designed to make life easier begin shaping how we think, learn, parent, and spend our time?In this episode of Consequence of Habit, JT sits down with technologist and The Home Screen creator Emily Tavoulareas to examine how social media and artificial intelligence are changing our habits and sense of agency. Emily draws on two decades in technology to explain how digital products are deliberately designed to keep us engaged and why parents need more than simple rules or screen-time limits.They discuss helping children understand persuasive design, the value of friction in learning and growth, and why using AI to avoid the difficult parts of writing may also undermine thinking itself. This conversation offers a grounded look at how families and individuals can make more intentional choices, reclaim their attention, and build healthier relationships with technology.

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we continue unpacking WWDC 2026 and take a closer look at iOS 27, macOS Golden Gate, and Apple's other new software updates coming this fall.00:00 — Intro & beta check-in00:42 — OS compatibility cuts: watchOS, iOS, macOS, tvOS, iPadOS09:49 — Sponsor: Claude11:08 — Liquid Glass refinements & redesigned icons14:10 — Shortcuts with natural language16:34 — Sidebar icons, extra-large widgets & foldable iPhone hints18:43 — Siri's new design & dynamic island shape20:20 — Siri AI in practice: autocorrect, clarifications, and daily use25:57 — Third-party AI extensions & region availability30:03 — Apple Intelligence across apps: Messages, Image Playground, Genmoji, Passwords, nutrition39:35 — macOS Golden Gate & the keynote's new format44:39 — iPadOS, watchOS, visionOS, tvOS, and HomeKit hintsiOS 27 supports the same iPhones as iOS 26, including the iPhone 11 and second-generation iPhone SE, giving the update the widest device compatibility of any iOS release to date.macOS Golden Gate drops Intel Macs entirely, confirming the end of an era that Apple flagged a year earlier when it said macOS Tahoe would be the final release for pre-Apple silicon machines. Four models that ran Tahoe miss out: the 16-inch MacBook Pro (2019), the 13-inch MacBook Pro with four Thunderbolt 3 ports (2020), the 2020 iMac, and the 2019 Mac Pro. Golden Gate is also the last version with full Rosetta 2 support, meaning the translation layer that keeps Intel-built apps running on Apple silicon will disappear entirely after this release.iPadOS 27 raises its hardware floor to the A14 Bionic or M1 chip, cutting the fifth-generation iPad mini, the eighth-generation iPad, the third-generation iPad Air, the first-generation 11-inch iPad Pro, and the third-generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro.watchOS 27 makes the steepest cuts in Apple Watch history, dropping the Series 6, Series 7, Series 8, original Ultra, and second-generation SE in a single wave and effectively erasing three years of device support at once. The only models that remain compatible are the Series 9, Series 10, Series 11, Ultra 2, Ultra 3, and SE 3.tvOS 27 drops two Apple TV models, the Apple TV HD from 2015 and the first-generation Apple TV 4K from 2017, leaving only the second- and third-generation Apple TV 4K boxes supported.In iOS 27, notifications now slide in from the left edge of the screen rather than dropping down from the top, and reaching Notification Centre requires swiping down from the top-left corner instead of the centre, freeing up that gesture for Siri. Other changes include colorful sidebar icons, real-time widget updates when an app is already open, extra-large Home Screen widgets, and web audio that no longer interrupts other system audio.The centerpiece of the update is Siri AI, which replaces Spotlight with a "Search or Ask" interface accessed by swiping down from the center of the display. Siri is designed to tone-match a user's own writing style when composing messages. Apple's pill-shaped Siri indicator is seemingly a hardware workaround for current Dynamic Island constraints, and a smaller Dynamic Island on the iPhone 18 Pro could allow the indicator to become a true circle. On the Apple Watch, Siri AI requires pairing with an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence. In the European Union, Siri AI is available on macOS and visionOS at launch but not on the iPhone or iPad.Apple Intelligence is also getting smarter Writing Tools and a composition assistant in Mail and Messages that adapts to how a user typically communicates with different contacts. Apple has overhauled Genmoji, adding a "Describe a change" interface for iterating on existing creations and the ability to start a new Genmoji from an existing emoji, a photo, or a person tagged in the user's photo library. Image Playground similarly adds support for multiple aspect ratios for wallpapers, Contact Posters, and social media images, alongside new photorealistic image generation.Visual Intelligence, meanwhile, gets a new primary entry point called Siri Mode, though holding down Camera Control still works as an alternative. The feature is expanding to the iPad and Mac, and now supports importing multiple calendar events from a single photo of a flyer, as well as importing contacts directly from a photographed business card.On the Mac, macOS Golden Gate extends toolbars and sidebars to the edges of the screen with a more consistent, tighter corner radius across windows. iPadOS 27 adds undo and redo for Home Screen edits, extra-large widgets in Today View, an optional persistent menu bar, and Visual Intelligence support for screenshots combined with Apple Pencil highlighting. Notes gains an Image Wand tool that generates photorealistic images from rough sketches, the Siri app gets a dedicated sidebar with full windowing support, and Shortcuts adds support for Magic Keyboard triggers.watchOS 27 drops the Walkie-Talkie app entirely, with the feature missing from both the app list and Control Center in the first developer beta, while adding new Smart Stack suggestions, more accurate step tracking, and a consolidated Find My app. visionOS 27 lets users activate Siri simply by looking at its on-screen bubble rather than requiring a button press, and adds a redesigned Control Center along with new curved windows. tvOS 27 brings a redesigned Podcasts app, Hi-Res Lossless audio support in Apple Music, and on-device processing for HomeKit Secure Video.Ready to tackle bigger problems?

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we talk through the changes introduced in the second developer beta of iOS 26. In iOS 26 beta 2, Apple refined several interface elements to slightly improve visual clarity and usability. The Control Center's Liquid Glass buttons now appear more clearly, thanks to increased background blur that makes them easier to distinguish. Similarly, the Reduce Transparency setting in Accessibility has been enhanced, further cutting down the see-through effect across the UI. Safari saw a couple of adjustments as well. The new tab button in the tab management view has been moved from the top left to the bottom left corner, bringing it back to its position in iOS 18. Additionally, when using the Compact tab bar layout, back and forward navigation buttons are now present. Apple Music now includes a Live Radio widget, giving users quicker access to real-time radio streams from their Home Screen. There's also a new ringtone option—"Alt 1" under the Reflection category—available in Sounds and Haptics settings. Low Power Mode's description has been rewritten for greater clarity, now explicitly noting that it reduces background activities, processing speed, display refresh rate, brightness, and limits features like 5G and iCloud syncing. Lastly, the default wallpaper introduced with iOS 26 has been updated to animate in response to the system's spatial photos feature, adding a more dynamic feel to the home screen. We also discuss Apple's apparent consideration of a bid to buy AI search startup Perplexity, as well as the new purple and green color options rumored for the iPhone 17.

It's an all new That Real Blind Tech show as Allison, Brian, David, and Jeanine recap this year's WWDC. We kick our review off with Brian discussing his recent experiences on his Delta flights to San Francisco, and some odd things happened. We kick off our WWDC coverage discussing the sentiment of the angry mob outside Apple HQ letting their feelings be known about the state of Apple Intelligence. We move on to discuss the new Liquid glass coming to all Apple devices and what this will mean for Assistive Tech users. We then discuss all the new features supposedly coming to Apple Intelligence some time in the next millennium. We discuss the new Apple Visual Intelligence not to be confused with the Apple crappy Visual Intelligence for the blind that launched last year. Is Apple punting on Siri updates? Don't expect an updated Siri to at least Spring 2026. We then dive in to a list of accessibility features coming in iOS 26. We hope this list we located is not rumor and is actually fact. iOS 26 will bring massive changes to your Home Screen, but which screen is your Home Screen? And Apple Intelligence will give us a new look to messages and the phone app. We then discuss the new features coming to Notes and Reminders. Apple Maps is getting a new look and a few other things. Apple Music will be getting a pinned list. Boarding Passes will come to the Apple Wallet which in turn will then get live activities. We then discuss our favorite items from the list of all the things Apple failed to mention. The share Sheet is getting a makeover. Your Apple Wallet will now track all of your shipments you receive an email notification about. Spotlight in Mac OS Tahoe will become much more powerful. Spotlight will be getting Quick Key commands you can customize. Spotlight will also get the long wanted Clipboard History. The Apple Watch will get a new wrist gesture to dismiss notifications and phone calls. We then discuss all the other features coming to the Apple Watch, spoiler alert it is brief. The iPad will be getting four new apps. Much more exciting then the new apps is that the iPad will be getting the menu bar. The file structure is getting a much needed overhaul. And finally we discuss all the new features coming to air Pods. And it's more of Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading.

On this week's show we talk about 20 years of the HDTV and Home Theater Podcast! We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: A Software Update Is Killing Samsung Soundbars Apple TV+ loses $1 billion every year, according to new report ESPN might pay up to $2 billion for NFL Network, RedZone Netflix announces it is adding HDR10+ support for videos Apple to Launch HomeOS Later This Year Apple is set to have an exciting year in software development with significant updates planned for iOS 19, macOS 16, and iPadOS 19. However, the tech giant is also preparing to introduce a completely new operating system called ‘homeOS.' This new platform will accompany the launch of a novel device dubbed the ‘HomePad,' a smart display that blends features of the iPad and HomePod. The homeOS is anticipated to share many characteristics with Apple's existing platforms, yet it will be uniquely adapted for home use. It will feature a customizable Home Screen akin to those on iOS and iPadOS, allowing users to add widgets for weather, stocks, and reminders, launch apps from a grid, maintain a dock for favorite apps, and manage smart home controls. This familiarity should make it intuitive for current iPhone and iPad users. Additionally, Siri will play a pivotal role in homeOS, enhancing the integration of Apple Intelligence to provide a more context-aware and action-oriented voice experience, building on its capabilities from the HomePod and forthcoming iOS enhancements. In terms of applications, homeOS might not launch with a full App Store but it will come equipped with a robust suite of built-in Apple apps. Users can expect essentials like FaceTime, Notes, Calendar, Reminders, Home, Safari, Settings, News, Music, TV, Podcasts, Weather, and Photos. These apps will support the HomePad's function as a central home device, offering both productivity and entertainment options right out of the box, with the potential for more apps to be added in the future. A distinctive feature of homeOS will be its dynamic responsiveness to user proximity, enabled by sensors in the HomePad that adjust the display based on how close a person is. For instance, when a user is far from the device, it might showcase a slideshow of photos via the Photos app or display StandBy-like widgets as a screensaver. As the user approaches, the system will seamlessly transition to the Home Screen. This adaptive functionality underscores homeOS's design philosophy of “iOS, but for your home,” aiming to extend Apple's ecosystem cohesively into home environments and potentially appealing to the vast iPhone user base when the HomePad debuts later this year.

A deep dive into the psyche of self-love—or self-obsession?—as Jeff and Jeremy tackle a quirky conundrum: what does it mean when someone's got their own face plastered on their phone home screen and pics of themselves covering their walls? #SelfieCentral sets the stage as Jeff kicks things off with a theory—narcissism or ultimate confidence?—while Jeremy counters with a hilarious take on “living in a personal shrine.” #MirrorMirror vibes flow as they dissect the psychology: is it a flex, a cry for validation, or just a really good hair day worth immortalizing? #JeffAndJeremy bring the laughs and hot takes, debating if this is peak individuality or a red flag waving high. From phone screens to picture frames, they'll explore why some folks can't get enough of their own mug #PodcastBanter #SelfLoveOrSelfObsessed #HomeDecorDeepDive #PersonalityUnpacked #LaughsAndLife

In this episode, Scott Davert explores the different ways to access the Home Screen on iPhones without a Home Button. With the launch of the iPhone 16e, Apple has fully transitioned to a buttonless design, changing how users interact with their devices. For those accustomed to the tactile feedback of the Home Button, this shift may feel challenging. However, several alternative methods can replicate its functionality.1. Using the Default Gesture:To return to the Home Screen without a physical button:Place a finger at the bottom center of the screen.Quickly swipe upward until you feel a slight vibration or hear a "pop" sound.Release your finger to navigate to the Home Screen.Tip: Using the charging port as a reference point can help with finger placement. Adding a small tactile marker, such as a bump dot, on your case near the swipe area can also provide a reliable guide.2. Customizing VoiceOver Gestures:VoiceOver users can assign the Home function to a different gesture for easier navigation:Assigning Home to a Two-Finger Swipe Right:Open Settings > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Commands > Touch Gestures.Choose a gesture, such as a two-finger swipe right.Under the "System" section, select "Home".If the gesture is already assigned, iOS will notify you. Confirm the reassignment by selecting "Assign".Note: The two-finger swipe right is typically used for grouped navigation, so choose another gesture if this conflicts with your existing setup.3.

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we take a look back at all of Apple's biggest announcements this year. Apple's year started out with the launch of Apple highly anticipated Vision Pro headset in February. This "spatial computer" marked Apple's first brand new product line in years, seeking to blend the physical and digital worlds. Powered by the M2 and R1 chips, the Vision Pro uses over a dozen sensors and cameras to map environments in real-time, boasting two high-resolution displays for immersive experiences and advanced hand-tracking. In March, Apple refreshed its popular MacBook Air lineup, unveiling new 13-and 15-inch models powered by the M3 chip. May brought significant updates to the iPad lineup. Apple launched the iPad Air 6, now available in 11-inch and 13-inch sizes and powered by the M2 chip, and the redesigned iPad Pro, featuring OLED displays for the first time and the debut of the M4 chip. Accompanying these devices was the Apple Pencil Pro, offering precision enhancements and haptic feedback for creative professionals, and the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro, which further bridges the gap between iPads and laptops. Apple hosted its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June, unveiling iOS 18 with enhanced Home Screen customization, a redesigned Control Center, and more. The company also previewed macOS Sequoia, iPadOS 18, watchOS 11, tvOS 18, and visionOS 2, but the biggest announcement was Apple Intelligence – a new suite of AI tools for Apple devices. As usual, September was packed with major announcements. The iPhone 16 lineup debuted, with the standard models embracing Pro-like features such as the Camera Control button, Action button, and spatial video capture. The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max gained bigger displays, longer battery life, an improved ultra wide camera, and more. The Apple Watch Series 10 launched in September, showcasing a thinner design, while the Apple Watch Ultra 2 gained a back colour option and a new titanium Milanese Loop. Apple also debuted the fourth-generation AirPods, now with optional ANC, and a USB-C version of the AirPods Max. October saw a minor refresh of the iPad mini with the A17 Pro chip and Apple Intelligence. Apple closed the year with a focus on its Mac lineup, bringing the M4 family of chips to the iMac, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini. Most notably, the Mac mini was completely redesigned with an even smaller enclosure measuring just 5 inches by 5 inches. The iMac and MacBook Pro also gained enhanced cameras and a nano-texture display option for the first time, along with a series of other small but significant improvements. Alongside this, Apple finally refreshed its Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad, and Magic Keyboard with USB-C connectivity. What do you think about Apple's releases this year? Let us know in the comments.

Knitting in Passing During Marta's visit, the kids turned the living room at my parents' into a craft room. Millie knit on the hat she's making for her dad. Riley worked on crochet hexagons for our matching blankets. Roc crocheted on a crab and eventually started a giraffe amigurumi and a baby hat. Riley taught Roc to make a crochet hexagon. Even Max & Garret got in on the action and did some drawing. One of the first afternoons, we were sitting at the bar at my parents' pool. Marta was sewing up a hole in Max's shirt, I was finishing some socks and Roc was crocheting his crab. Throughout the trip, Roc (age 12) was crocheting constantly- in the car, at the table, at the park, anytime he had a few free minutes. He was incredibly adept at chatting and keeping up with his pattern working in increases and decreases. We ended up going to 6 craft stores- Plymouth Harbor Knits, Michaels, Joann, The Craft Loft, Hobby Lobby, Gather Here. Roc also got a crochet kit at Dollar Tree (the same dinoaur my niece Aila bought earlier this summer). We had a campfire at my house one night. Roc, Millie and Hattie spent most of the night crafting in my studio. We visited my house after kayaking & ice cream one afternoon- Hattie also did a bit of knitting on my Musselburgh hat. I found a few dropped stitches the next time I picked it up but that's ok. Crafty Adventures Marta, Roc and I did some resin projects while they were visiting. Roc put resin in the bottom of a small wooden crate and then we worked together on a pumpkin lazy susan.

There were lots of hats and dishcloths, of course, as these are often quick projects. But one player went above and beyond! Shellylynnknits already completed a blitz in 4 days!

Update on Mom: Mom had a couple good days while Marta was visiting. Grateful we were able to spend time together even when she couldn't leave the house. The sound of the boys laughing brought her joy. She had the catheter removed from her lung. Began having throat issues that worsened day after day. On Thursday 9/12 came for scans and chemo, but only had scans and then was admitted. She's had a whole slew of tests and so far they haven't found anything wrong which is good news, but we still need to get to the bottom of things. One bit of good news, she should be having an injection of filler into her paralyzed right vocal cord that will allow her voice to come back. Ask Me Anything Herdofhills asked about: fall project plans, books, favorite fall recipes I am looking forward to: apple picking, apple sauce, wood chopping weekend, oven baked oatmeal (here's a recipe I like to use), a Better Off Dead movie party, I've already enjoyed watching Hocus Pocus (1 & 2), pulling out the wool socks and wearing those at night, decorating, overnight oats for breakfast which I tend to eat more in fall/winter. Even better for fall is warm. Deborahjay- Love is blind UK I was watching but got sidetracked with Marta's visit. For the first time, I found myself fast forwarding through the pre-wedding stuff to hear yes/no. Liked that it seemed like folks were actually there for love and that the cast was far less dramatic than the US participants. kjkcrochet- I'd love to know a little bit more about your job I'm a Project Manager in the Nursing Dept of a big boston hospital, supporting a communication system and other projects thank involve communication, responsiveness (to patients) and technology). Tune in to hear more. On a Happy Note Max's reaction to Plymouth Rock! Teaching Roc some new crochet stitches and seeing his enthusiasm. He's definitely my new buddy. My heart almost burst when he sent me a screenshot of his Home Screen- photo of us outside the Craft Loft in Cambridge. Handpicked sunflowers from my friend Eileen's garden. Laser tag Going on a Duck Tour 2 whole weeks with Marta. We haven't been together that long since 1998! And all of the funny moments and inside jokes that come from it. Connections at work making tough days a little easier. Quote of the Week Summer ends, and Autumn comes, and he who would have it otherwise would have high tide always and a full moon every night. ~ Hal Borland —— Thank you for tuning in!
