Every few months, I sit down to look back at the Mac threat landscape, and every time I expect to write about something new. This time I can’t. But that doesn’t mean nothing is happening. In fact, the opposite.

Since I published the Security Bite Q1 2026 review, we’ve seen ClickFix go from the new kid on the block and the technique to watch to now the default delivery method for almost every new Mac stealer. Threat actors are getting much better at using it too (I suppose the kids would call this “locked in”). Recently we’ve seen attackers implement persistence, backdoors, and even infrastructure that hides inside Apple’s own services.

Here’s what you should know as a security practitioner or a malware-fearing Mac owner…

The ability of AI systems to act as agents, carrying out tasks on our behalf, is the single biggest development in the technology. This is the headline capability Siri AI introduces to Apple devices, and I’m inclined to trust the privacy and safety safeguards Apple has put into place.

But Siri AI isn’t the only agent you can give full access to your Apple devices, with Meta’s Muse app the latest example – and one tech writer’s experience really underlines why you absolutely don’t want to do this …

There’s a running joke that Apple always breathlessly announces that each year’s iPhone Pro is “the best iPhone we’ve ever made,” as if that were in some way surprising. But I do think that there’s some poignancy to the iPhone 18 Pro, because if the rumors about next year’s model are true, this could be the final iteration of the form factor that began with the iPhone X back in 2017.

Specifically, we’re expecting next year to see the next big step toward that “single slab of glass” vision which will end the era of evolutionary change we’ve seen over the last decade …

Apple has redesigned the Apple Pay checkout flow in iOS 27 for apps and websites. The changes make it easier to switch between different payment cards and see key details about the order you’re placing.

Last week, Bloomberg reported that Apple is working on a screenless fitness tracker, akin to a WHOOP or Fitbit Air. As someone who’s used the WHOOP for the past 6 months, I do think its a great concept, though there are a few things I’d like to see Apple do better.

For the past year, we’ve been looking forward to a new iPad mini refresh, and it’s sounding like its just around the corner. A new leak last week from Aaron Perris unveiled that the product should feature an A20 Pro chip and thinner bezels, and we already know it’ll feature OLED and a water resistant design.

While those upgrades are excellent, I have one major thing I want from the next iPad mini, and it has to do with software.
