Ahead of WWDC in June, the seventh annual Mac Developer Survey opened recently from Setapp. Now the results are in highlighting how developers are approaching everything from app distribution and discovery, if they’d use third-party iOS app stores, OpenAI’s ChatGPT integration, the biggest challenges, and much more.

The state of the iPhone SE 4 is once again unknown. While analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported in February that Apple had resumed development of the device, he’s now walking back those claims. What exactly this means for the future of the iPhone SE lineup is unclear.

The value of Made in India iPhones tripled in Apple’s last fiscal year, according to a new report today, which says the country accounted for $7B worth of the company’s smartphones.

The Apple TV+ approach of having fewer shows with a higher value (than, say, Netflix) is regularly described as the HBO strategy. (Apple also inked an exclusive deal with the HBO guy.) It could be that the Discovery brand is just boring or too closely associated with reality shows and ex-HGTV talent, and the bros from WBD are showing max hubris.

It’s no secret that Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway are big fans of Apple, and last month, the conglomerate revealed that it had further expanded its already-massive holding of Apple stock. In a new interview on Wednesday, Buffett once again sang the praises of Apple, CEO Tim Cook, and iPhone loyalty.

Earlier this month, CIRP released a study looking at how fast users would repair or replace a broken, lost, or stolen iPhone, iPad, or Mac. With its latest survey, the firm attempted to measure how much the devices matter to users by age, and the results are not what you’d expect.

CAD drawings seemed to point to the iPhone 15 Pro getting solid-state buttons, including an Apple Watch Ultra style Action button – but two sources now say that may not be the case.
