A Plex data breach in 2022 exposed usernames, email addresses, and encrypted passwords. The company required all users to change their passwords as a precaution, and now history seems to be repeating itself.

The company is again emailing users, using virtually identical wording to describe to report a new data breach with the same data obtained …

Mozilla is taking advantage of the on-device Apple Intelligence capabilities in iOS 26 to offer a shake-to-summarize feature in the latest iPhone version of Firefox.

Provided you have an iPhone 15 Pro or later and are running iOS 26, the summary is created directly on your device – but it’s also available for older phones …

It’s finally the day of the Apple event, and everyone is eagerly awaiting the official launch of the iPhone 17 lineup. 9to5Mac readers are mostly power users, so it’s no surprise that the thing you’re most looking forward to is the unveiling of the iPhone 17 Pro Max – though there is also substantial interest in the all-new iPhone 17 Air.

While we’re expecting a fairly packed event, there’s likely to be one significant difference from last year’s iPhone 16 launch: a conspicuous absence of Apple intelligence promises …

Keeping with tradition, the Apple Online Store has been taken down ahead of Apple’s September product event. We are expecting the company to officially unveil the new iPhone 17 lineup, Apple Watch Series 11, Apple Watch Ultra 3, and a new generation of AirPods Pro.

The ‘awe dropping’ event kicks off at 10 AM Pacific Time. Apple typically takes the store down to signal that new hardware is about to be announced, although it won’t necessarily go on sale immediately.

The Powerbeats Fit appear to be a rebrand/replacement for the Beats Fit Pro. After being teased by Beats at the end of August, we now have a full leak of their specs and colorways, courtesy of Evan Blass (@evleaks).

Powerbeats Fit come in a handful of colors, including a vibrant ‘spark orange’ that might just match the new color of the iPhone 17 Pro being announced later today. The earbuds are expected to officially launch in a few weeks time.

We’re just hours away from Apple’s “Awe dropping” event, where it will announce the new iPhone 17 lineup, Apple Watch Series 11, new AirPods Pro, and more.

Head below for our roundup of all the last-minute rumors about what to expect from these new Apple products…

If you’ve been watching Chief of War on Apple TV+ and you’re anything like me, you probably spend quite a good amount of time of each episode marveling at the fantastic landscapes.

Now, thanks to a new Apple Maps guide, you can take a virtual tour, or plan actual visits, to the parks, beaches, campgrounds, and even historic palaces featured in the show. Here’s how.

Update 9/8/2025: While other electronics makers are raising prices, Rode has dropped the Wireless Micro retail price from $149 down to $99. Wireless GO (Gen 3) is also priced 33% lower now at $199.

We’re living in the future, folks. Rode’s new Wireless Micro hardware is basically the AirPods of lav mics for your iPhone. The product consists of two wireless lavaliere microphones, a USB-C wireless receiver that connects to your iPhone or iPad, and a compact charging case that recharges over USB-C. I’ve been trying out the Rode Wireless Micro for a few months now, and I’m honestly blown away by the state-of-the-art technology here. Since launching in November 2024, Rode has sweetened the deal in several ways. More on that at the bottom of our original review.

In a statement today, Liberty Media CEO Derek Chang all but confirmed a deal with Apple for the U.S streaming rights for Formula 1. Now the question is: when will Apple announce it?

Apple has a packed lineup of hardware launches happening soon, including two brand new Home products: a new Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini 2. Here’s what to expect.

Avid 9to5Mac readers know that it is getting increasingly harder to have a day go by and not come across a post about a new (or old) lawsuit trying to challenge, dismantle, or overturn Apple’s App Store rules. Now, a new book out later this month pieces some of the biggest battles together in one place.

Apple announced its iPhone 16 lineup one year ago, and arguably its tentpole features have been a rare miss for the company. But rumors for the iPhone 17 indicate it should be a strong return to form deserving of an upgrade.

Earlier this summer, Anker announced a trio of new products – one of them being an incredibly thin MagSafe/Qi2 battery for iPhones, and now even Google Pixel 10. I’ve spent my fair share of time with it, and the new Anker Nano Power Bank is honestly everything you’d want out of a MagSafe battery bank.

With Apple no longer making their own MagSafe batteries, and the upcoming iPhone 17 Air having relatively weak battery life – this could be a great purchase to make ahead of Apple’s ‘Awe dropping’ iPhone 17 launch event.

If you don’t carry a MagSafe wallet with your iPhone, there might be situations when you want a simple stand for travel, increased grip, stand at your desk, etc. The UAG Magnetic Ring Stand falls into that category. It gives you a better grip on your iPhone, doubles as a kickstand, and still slides in your pocket without getting in the way. Let’s take a look at what it offers.

A new leak over the weekend has revealed what appears to be battery capacities for every new iPhone 17 model, including the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air. Here’s how the reported iPhone 17 Air battery capacity stacks up against previous iPhone models.

Apple is expected to launch 8+ new products this week, headlined by the iPhone 17 lineup. But a surprise appearance of the forthcoming M5 iPad Pro is now looking even more likely too.

Apple’s full iPhone 17 lineup is almost here, and the latest rumors point to major iPhone 17 Pro improvements coming in two areas that often motivate upgrades: battery life and cameras.

We first saw Apple Calendar spam almost a decade ago, when it hit such levels that the iPhone maker issued an apology and said that it was blocking suspicious senders.

We’ve seen the problem re-emerge several times since then, with Apple even publishing a YouTube video on how to remove it. Despite all of these efforts, however, it seems to be spiking again …

SpaceX and the company behind Boost Mobile have struck a deal that will bolster Starlink’s direct-to-cell satellite mobile service.
