Apple is being accused of dragging its feet to produce important documents related to its antitrust case. Here are the details.

iMazing started life as a more powerful and flexible alternative to iTunes, but has since grown into a comprehensive desktop solution for managing Apple mobile devices across personal, educational, and professional contexts. Just in time for the iPhone 17, iMazing is offering readers a limited 20% discount on all licenses with the code: 9to5mac-20off.

macOS Tahoe brings a lot of exciting updates to the Mac, like a supercharged Spotlight, Liquid Glass design, and three brand new apps. One of my personal macOS Tahoe favorites: Control Center is getting a lot of great upgrades. Here’s what’s new.

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: all the latest expectations for next year’s iPhone 18 lineup, including iPhone Fold and iPhone Air 2, based on current rumors.

In a threat and incidents report released today, France’s Information Security Agency confirmed that Apple issued a new wave of threat notifications earlier this month. Here are the details.

The Foundation series on Apple TV+ has increasingly been hailed as one of the streamer’s best shows. And despite a lot of uncertainty surrounding the show’s fate, Apple has just announced good news: Foundation will return for season 4.

IDC’s report on worldwide “wrist-worn” devices for the second quarter of 2025 is out, and it shows mixed results for the Apple Watch. Here is the breakdown.

iPhone 17 Pro or iPhone Air? It’s a harder decision than usual this year for many iPhone buyers. Here’s how Apple’s latest flagship models stack up against each other, and all the differences that matter.

Apple’s ultra-thin iPhone Air appears to be earning a lot of buzz, but for some users there’s a very important question still unanswered: will it bend? Here’s what Apple executives said in a new interview.

After warning 9to5Mac last month about undetectable Mac malware hidden in a fake PDF converter site, Mosyle, a leader in Apple device management and security, has now uncovered a new infostealer. Dubbed ModStealer, the malware has remained invisible to all major antivirus engines since first appearing on VirusTotal nearly a month ago.

In details shared exclusively with 9to5Mac, Mosyle says ModStealer doesn’t just target macOS systems, but is cross-platform and purpose-built for one thing: stealing data.

Apple TV+ is expected to win big at the Emmy’s this weekend, and ahead of the awards show, Reuters has published fresh quotes from many different Apple TV+ stars and creative talent about what it’s like working with Apple. Here’s what they said.

On Tuesday, Apple introduced the new iPhone 17, alongside the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air. Here’s everything that’s new with the iPhone 17!

Pre-orders for the iPhone 17 line and iPhone Air kick off tomorrow morning at 5:00 a.m. PT. But if you want the fastest, smoothest pre-order process possible, Apple just announced the cutoff time for its ‘Get Ready’ option that speeds things up.

Last year when rumors started swirling around Apple’s plans for an ultra-thin new iPhone, one limitation on thinness was expected to be the USB-C charging port. But it turns out, Apple had a clever solution to make iPhone Air’s USB-C port unusually thin: 3D-printed titanium.

Apple is sometimes accused of deliberately withholding new features from older devices for no good reason. For example, eyebrows were raised when dual capture video recording was restricted to the iPhone 17 when the same feature has been supported by third-party apps all the way back to the iPhone 11, so is clearly nothing to do with hardware capabilities.

When it comes to the latest health features, however, the company is wisely taking a far more inclusive approach …

Every year, one of the tentpole features of Apple’s new iPhones is a brand new A-series chip. But this year with A19, Apple is doing something it never has before with its iPhone lineup at launch.

Apple’s satellite messaging service was a key feature of the iPhone 14. Initially limited to providing an emergency service for those outside cellular coverage areas, it was subsequently extended to offer roadside assistance cover for mechanical problems and messaging with family and friends too.

Although initially described as free for the first two years only, Apple subsequently extended free coverage – and has just done so again …

We first spotted that AirPods Live translation was coming a month before the announcement. Initial language support is listed as English, French, German, Portuguese (Brazil), and Spanish – with four more languages coming later this year.

But while European languages are supported, you won’t necessarily be able to take advantage of that if you are within one of the countries in which they’re spoken …

Apple’s hardware design chief said yesterday the company knew it would be hard for some to choose between the new iPhone Air and the iPhone 17 Pro or Pro Max.

That isn’t true for everyone, of course. For some, the decision will be very straightforward – but I can see how it could be tricky for others …

Alongside the new iPhone 17 lineup, iPhone Air, and more, Apple unveiled a wide range of new accessories across both its own brand and Beats. Here’s everything new.
