This week's show treats the event as the main story and breaks it down announcement by announcement. Everything Apple Announced at the September 2026 Event - MacRumors How Apple Presented the Event: John Ternus Takes the Lead The presentation itself is part of the story. This was John Ternus's first major product event as Apple CEO. Tim Cook appeared as a cameo in the opening film, a deliberate nod to the leadership transition, while Ternus served as the event's primary presenter and connective voice throughout. He also handled the event's signature iPhone Duo reveal, giving the new CEO the biggest product moment of the show. John Ternus Introduces Apple's "Intelligent Personal Hub" — In his first Apple Event as CEO, John Ternus laid out Apple's vision for AI, positioning the iPhone as the "intelligent personal hub" at the center of a user's digital life. Rather than requiring a new category of AI hardware, Ternus argued that the iPhone already has everything an ideal AI device needs: powerful on-device processing, cameras and microphones, connectivity, all-day battery life, personal context, and deep integration with Apple's ecosystem. Privacy is the key differentiator, with Apple Intelligence processing requests on-device whenever possible and using Private Cloud Compute when greater AI capability is required. Apple CEO John Ternus says the best AI device is still the iPhone | TechCrunch iPhone Duo Introduced as "one more thing", Apple's first foldable iPhone is the biggest hardware swing of the event. Opened, the Duo has a 7.6-inch inner display and becomes Apple's thinnest iPhone; closed, it uses a 5.4-inch outer display. Apple says the inner display uses a layered folding construction and a nano-texture surface designed to reduce glare and make the crease less visible. The device is IP68 rated, supports MagSafe, ships with iOS 27.1, supports the $79 USB-C Apple Pencil rather than Apple Pencil Pro, and does not include an Action button. Battery expectations vary depending on which display is used. Apple is also offering dedicated Duo cases and a folio with kickstand. Design Team explaining the reasoning that went behind the Duo's design https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=do3UqxfYc3I      iPhone Duo is more proof that Microsoft's brilliant ideas make great Apple products iPhone Duo is Dust-Tight With IP68 Rating, Unlike Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold8 - MacRumors Apple Explains What's Inside the iPhone Duo's Folding Screen - MacRumors iPhone Duo Beats iPhone Air as Apple's Thinnest iPhone, But Only When Open - MacRumors Here's What Apple Says About the iPhone Duo's Crease - MacRumors iPhone Duo Will Ship With iOS 27.1, Hinting at Update's Release Date - MacRumors iPhone Duo Only Works With the $79 USB-C Apple Pencil, Not the Apple Pencil Pro - MacRumors iPhone Duo Doesn't Have an Action Button iPhone Duo Battery Life Depends on Which Screen You Use - MacRumors iPhone Duo Gets Its Own Case and Folio With Kickstand - MacRumors iPhone Duo Supports MagSafe Charging - MacRumors Apple unveils iPhone Duo - Apple iPhone 18 Pro / Pro Max iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max focus on camera control, sustained performance, battery life, and Apple Intelligence. The A20 Pro is paired with a redesigned vapor chamber; the camera system adds variable aperture plus more manual controls, and Photographic Styles gains texture and grain controls. The Pro Max gets the headline battery advantage and differs from the Pro in some hardware details. Other discussion points include the Pro Max's increased weight, storage pricing, expanded eSIM-only markets, different modems between the two Pro models, RAM differences, a smaller Dynamic Island that can accommodate three Live Activities, and Apple Reference Image for photo-authenticity verification. Apple also discontinued the iPhone 17 Pro line and adjusted prices elsewhere in the iPhone lineup.

This turns AppleCare into more of a household subscription and raises the practical question of when one family plan becomes cheaper or simpler than maintaining separate coverage. Apple Adds AppleCare One Family Plan for Up to Six People AppleCare - Apple Siri AI and Usage Limits Siri AI is rolling out in beta with iOS 27, but Apple's fine print says some server-dependent Apple Intelligence features can be subject to usage limits. Apple also says expanded access will be available for a fee. That makes the long-term business model for cloud-assisted Siri and Apple Intelligence a significant part of the story, not just the feature demonstrations.

Tim Cook has wrapped up his final day as CEO and moves into the executive chairman role as John Ternus officially takes over. The panel discusses Cook's farewell message, Ternus's first memo to Apple employees, what his hardware-engineering background could mean for Apple's future, and the wider executive changes accompanying the transition, including Phil Schiller scaling back his responsibilities.

They look at the new iPhone Handoff capability in iOS 27, unexpectedly strong demand for Mac mini and Mac Studio for AI workloads, and Apple giving Mac App Store developers the option to drop Intel support. Other topics include the unusual Lake Ontario/Lake America mapping controversy involving Apple Maps, Google Maps, and MapQuest; a handy Shortcut for jumping directly to the current app's Settings from Control Center; and Storm Radar bringing route-aware weather, alerts, and navigation to CarPlay. In the news, Qualcomm is raising chip prices, several older Macs have moved onto Apple's obsolete-products list, Apple has been inducted into the Brand Hall of Fame, and Apple TV and the Apple One Individual plan are getting more expensive.

Four Apple Immersive games are currently scheduled: * August 28 — Red Sox at Yankees * September 4 — Angels at Pirates * September 11 — Padres at Giants * September 18 — Giants at Dodgers Live viewing requires an Apple TV subscription and either the **M2 or M5 Apple Vision Pro**.

En este episodio nos alejamos un poco de la noticia pura para detenernos en una reflexión que merece la pena.Artur Sychov, fundador de Somnium Space, propone conectar varias piezas que Apple lleva años desarrollando: Vision Pro, visionOS, Apple Silicon, unos futuros AirPods con cámaras y la llamada inteligencia ambiental.¿Son simplemente productos y tecnologías que evolucionan por separado, o estamos viendo poco a poco los componentes de una informática que algún día podría ir más allá del smartphone?Una reflexión interesante, con los pies en el suelo y separando claramente lo que sabemos de lo que, por ahora, solo podemos imaginar.Podéis dejarnos vuestra opinión en los comentarios y seguirnos en nuestras redes sociales:Bluesky — @menfrentadas.bsky.socialX — @MEnfrentadasMastodon — @ManzanasEnfrentadas@mas.toThreads — @manzanasenfrentadasTikTok — @manzanasenfrentadasTelegram — @manzanasenfrentadasTambién podéis encontrarnos en vuestra plataforma de pódcast habitual.Música: “Helado de Cereza Loop 1” — FiftySounds

The latest In Touch With iOS with Dave he is joined by Jill McKinley, Jeff Gamet, Eric Bolden, Marty Jencius, Guy Serle. This week on In Touch With iOS, we cover Apple's latest updates across Vision Pro, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, and Apple TV. The panel talks about live Friday Night Baseball coming to Apple Immersive Video, visionOS 27 Beta 5, and the latest iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, and macOS beta changes, including Siri improvements, bug fixes, and security updates. We also debate whether Apple's built-in Mac apps are now good enough to replace third-party favorites like Fantastical and 1Password, and we compare backup strategies using Time Machine, Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper, Synology, external drives, and Backblaze. Plus, Jeff raises concerns about Anthropic's Claude watermarking approach and the risk of false positives for human-written content, and we look at Apple's expanded Made for iPhone hearing-device support and its accessibility benefits.

The episode kicks off with Vision Pro and Apple's return to live sports in Apple Immersive Video. Friday Night Baseball is coming to Vision Pro with select MLB games presented live, giving the panel plenty to discuss about whether immersive sports could become one of the strongest reasons to own Apple's headset. The conversation also explores what Apple could do to make the experience even more compelling, from stadium atmosphere and audio to better ways of making viewers feel like they're actually at the game. Beta This Week brings updates across visionOS 27, iOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and macOS 27. The panel discusses visionOS 27 Beta 5 improvements to Siri, Mac Virtual Display, hand gestures, and Digital Crown behavior, along with the usual collection of fixes and refinements arriving across Apple's platforms. Siri is also getting additional voice options and greater control over characteristics such as speaking pace and expressivity. On the Mac, the conversation turns into a debate about Apple's built-in applications. Are Calendar, Notes, Reminders, Passwords, Safari, and Apple's other bundled apps finally good enough that Mac users no longer need as many third-party replacements? The panel compares their own workflows and discusses why some of them have started moving back toward Apple's applications after years of using alternatives. Apple Passwords versus 1Password becomes an especially interesting debate: Apple offers excellent integration and simplicity, while 1Password continues to provide more advanced capabilities for users who need them. Then the panel tackles something every Mac user should be thinking about: backups. Time Machine is only the beginning. Everyone compares their own strategies involving Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper, Synology NAS systems, external SSDs and hard drives, cloud storage, and Backblaze. The discussion highlights the importance of having multiple copies of important data, including at least one off-site copy. Jill also brings up a practical disaster-preparedness strategy: keeping important backups on portable drives that can quickly be grabbed during an emergency. Jeff brings AI into the conversation from his blog with concerns about Anthropic's approach to watermarking content that has been generated or even edited using Claude. If someone writes an article, paper, or other document themselves but asks Claude to proofread or rewrite a small portion, could the entire work subsequently be treated as AI-generated? The panel discusses the potential for false positives and the problems this could create for writers, students, educators, and anyone who uses AI as an editing assistant rather than an author. Accessibility is also in the spotlight as Apple expands its Made for iPhone hearing-device compatibility list with dozens of additional devices. The discussion goes beyond the numbers, with the panel sharing real-world examples of how Apple's hearing accessibility technology—including compatible hearing aids and AirPods—can make conversations and noisy environments dramatically easier to navigate. Finally, Things We Found brings the usual collection of useful, interesting, and sometimes unexpected discoveries from the panel, including Synology storage, an Apple Watch band, an ALPR camera mapping resource, an extremely bright USB-C rechargeable flashlight, Batman viewing recommendations, and an animated wallpaper app. Topics and Links In Touch With Vision Pro this week Apple bringing live Friday Night Baseball to Apple Immersive Video — selected MLB games will stream live in immersive 8K 3D on Vision Pro. https://9to5mac.com/2026/08/10/apple-immersive-live-video-mlb-game-schedule/ visionOS 27 Beta 5 released. https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-vision-pro/ https://developer.apple.com/documentation/visionos-release-notes/visionos-27-release-notes visionOS 27 beta users report hand-control and Digital Crown issues.

The group examines what drove Apple's success, why Services continues to be such a major business, and how Apple's future product strategy could evolve. The discussion then shifts to Apple's latest software releases, including visionOS 26.6, iOS 26.6, macOS 26.6, and the continuing iOS 27 developer beta cycle.

The panel shares hands-on impressions of Apple Intelligence, Siri improvements, Liquid Glass refinements, Photos enhancements, Vision Pro updates, battery performance, and numerous quality-of-life improvements arriving across Apple's platforms. The discussion continues with reports that Apple may replace its long-running iPhone Upgrade Program with a new leasing model. The group examines how the rumored program could change annual upgrades, financing options, AppleCare coverage, and whether buying an iPhone outright may still be the better value for many users. AI remains a major focus as the panel explores Claude Code's new ability to build, run, and test iOS applications directly inside Apple's Simulator, opening new possibilities for AI-assisted app development. They also discuss newly discovered Mac malware targeting Terminal users, hidden Apple Intelligence features uncovered in macOS betas, expanded international support in Apple Sports, and why AppleCare One continues to become a better value for customers with multiple Apple devices. Rounding out the news, the panel looks at Apple's testing of AI-powered Live Notes at the Genius Bar to improve customer support and repair documentation before discussing Apple's announcement that The Morning Show will conclude after its fifth season. The episode wraps up with another entertaining edition of Things Found, featuring useful apps, accessories, developer tools, and productivity utilities that Apple enthusiasts will want to explore.

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?
