Tonight’s Friday Night Baseball game will feature some new camera angles, courtesy of iPhone 17 Pro. For the first time for a professional live sports broadcast, iPhones will be used to help capture the action.

At the Fenway Park game between Tigers and the Red Sox, the production will use four iPhones, getting different angles from across the stadium. When iPhone footage is being used, a ‘Shot on iPhone’ overlay will appear in the corner of the stream.

Apple adds another movie to its Apple TV+ catalog today, with the streaming premiere of new film ‘All of You’. The movie stars Brett Goldstein and Imogen Poots as Simon and Laura, friends since college who have drifted apart but always felt like there was something more.

Laura takes a test to find out the identity of her life’s soulmate, but what impact will that have on their enduring relationship? The funny and heartfelt movie currently has a solid 77% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Very slowly but surely, Apple has been expanding the list of US states and territories that support IDs in Apple Wallet. After adding Montana last month, North Dakota is now the latest to join.

Earlier today, we covered the skyrocketing success of Neon, an app that pays users in exchange for recording their phone calls. Now, the app has gone offline, following the discovery of an egregious security breach. Here are the details.

iOS 26 is a major release for the Wallet app, with several new features available now and upgrades on the way for car keys and passports. Among the new improvements, Apple Wallet’s most neglected feature—order tracking—has gotten the fix it always needed with iOS 26.

Last night, Apple issued its most forceful rebuttal yet to Europe’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), which may force it to open up its ecosystem. Today, the European Commission shot back. Here are the details. 

Reviews continue rolling out for Apple’s latest iPhone lineup, including from noted photographers like Austin Mann and Tyler Stalman. Now Lux, the creators of pro camera app Halide, has published their own iPhone 17 Pro camera review.

Will spatial computing via glasses or a headset one day replace the iPhone? Unlikely. And visionOS 26 offers two new iPhone-related features that seem to prove Apple already knows that.

This is Rumor Replay, a weekly column at 9to5Mac offering a quick rundown of the most recent Apple product rumors, with analysis and commentary. Today: fresh details on Apple’s biggest new iPhone models coming in the next two years, the ‘iPhone 20’ and iPhone Fold. Here are the latest Apple rumors.

While the NFL remains tethered to Microsoft Surface tablets like a bad coach, college football is increasingly embracing iPad. Following a 2024 NCAA rule change that opened the door for sideline video review, a fourth conference has now struck a direct deal with Apple to bring iPad into the game.

Apple’s new iPhone Air is the thinnest iPhone ever. But rumors indicate it won’t hold that title for long. Here’s what’s expected with next year’s even thinner iPhone Fold.

Benjamin and Chance reflect on how Apple describes the unibody in iPhone history. Then, Benjamin shares his experiences with his first week of having the iPhone Air, meanwhile online durability and battery tests show impressive results across the new iPhone lineup. Nevertheless, Apple is forced to comment on 17 Pro ‘ScratchGate’, and the first iOS 26.1 beta adds some new swipe gestures in the Music app.

And in Happy Hour Plus, Chance tries the new Jupiter environment in visionOS 26, as Apple previews a swathe of new third-party immersive video content in the works. Subscribe at 9to5mac.com/join.

The FTC has just announced a $2.5 billion settlement with Amazon over what it called “misleading” practices related to Prime subscriptions. Here are the details.

The Apple TV+ lineup for the rest of 2025 still hasn’t been fully unveiled, as Apple just announced a brand new French-language thriller coming soon called The Hunt. Here are the details.

It’s a marketing gift: every year, Apple makes products that always technically exceed their predecessors—in sheer performance at least. So it can claim, “These are our best iPhones ever.” But with the iPhone 17 lineup, I think that claim may be more true than ever before.

Some users on Reddit and elsewhere are reporting that the search function in Apple’s Calendar app is broken in iOS 26.

Those affected say that no search results are found. A workaround has been successful for some, but not for all …
