The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max introduces a new smaller Face ID system, with the Infrared camera now hidden behind the screen, near where the time is shown in the status bar.

It appears there may be a software glitch with that component in the shipping release of iOS 27. A number of reports from 18 Pro owners indicate that their device freezes and reboots after a failed Face ID attempt.

Last week, Apple officially released iOS 27 to everyone. The update comes with many new security features, which is nice given how lackluster iOS 26 was in that area. However, there’s one new anti-scam feature in particular that targets an area Apple has never explored before and could eventually be massively beneficial to users. The feature is called Impersonation Risk Detection.

All in all, it’s meant to catch users in the middle of a scam.

Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 include a new fitness-tracking feature: live step tracking on the watch face. Alongside live heart rate data, it’s a surprisingly welcome and motivating change to the new hardware that I’m loving so far.

Apple’s long-awaited home hub device, often called ‘HomePad,’ is now expected to launch in October. Here’s what’s coming per the latest Bloomberg report.

Apple’s major 20th-anniversary iPhone refresh is in the works for next year. A new rumor today reiterates expectations that the iPhone 20 Pro and iPhone 20 Pro Max will have even bigger screens than the current models.

Over the last several years, the Mac mini has become one of the most compelling Macs in Apple’s lineup. It combines impressive performance with a compact footprint, making it versatile enough for all kinds of workflows.

I’ve spent the last week using the M6 Mac mini, and it pushes that formula even further. Here’s everything you need to know.

• Buy the M6 Mac mini: from $879.99 (Reg. $899)

Apple is assessing the future of Apple Fitness+, according to a new Bloomberg report. The company has reportedly laid off a “handful of employees” working on the service, a move viewed as just the beginning of bigger changes still to come.

The major class action lawsuit against Apple over Siri and Apple Intelligence delays continues to progress. Apple is expected to pay $250 million to settle the lawsuit, and you can now submit your claim to get a chunk of that payout. Here’s how.

If you cast your mind back to almost a year ago from today, Apple TV was about to launch a new series called The Savant starring Jessica Chastain … until it was pulled from the schedule at the last moment, in the wake of the assassination of political activist Charlie Kirk.

Apple never gave an exact reason for cancelling the release, but promised it would release the series at a later date …

The new version of Siri, Siri AI, launched to the masses this month as part of iOS 27. The new Siri is rolling out gradually to users via a waitlist, and is labelled as a ‘beta’ indicating that Apple still has some work to do in follow-up releases.

The new Siri is much better at answering questions with access to rich knowledge, can search through your messages and notes for personal context queries, and can take action based on what is on your screen with onscreen awareness. However, the new Siri is not being welcomed with open arms by everyone …

Leading into the iPhone Duo launch, we heard from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman that Apple was considering a new Apple Pencil for iPhone Duo, though it was unlikely that the company would go forward with it. Of course, the iPhone Duo keynote came, and Apple did announce support for the USB-C Apple Pencil. Here’s how that happened.

iOS 27 is now available to everyone, and one of the big changes is that it makes your iPhone a lot faster. In fact, Apple has outlined more than 30 ways in which your iPhone will be faster after you update.

Well, this is odd. The handwashing timer feature is currently absent from the new Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 hardware.

With the new iPhone Duo, Apple is taking a little bit of a software gamble. All apps, in order to take advantage of the larger inner display of iPhone Duo, will need to be recompiled for iOS 27.0 at a minimum. To use the Duo’s unique new tab bar and other UI components, you’ll need iOS 27.1.

Of course, this means a lot of developers will have to rebuild to support the Duo. On the flip side, it also means Apple is taking a risk of many apps on iPhone Duo being stuck in black bars.

Earlier this year, I picked up a WHOOP for the very first time. As a longtime Apple Watch user I was looking forward to having a new way of tracking my health stats in a cleaner interface that the Apple Watch wasn’t offering. Now, with Apple Watch Series 12, I’m very convinced to switch back to the Apple Watch. Here’s why.
