Phishing isn’t going away, especially in the enterprise. GenAI has made it easier to spin up realistic scams with voice matching, etc. MFA codes aren’t perfect if you end up handing them over. Coinbase reported a massive loss of customer data, and that has created a whole host of problems. That’s why what Dashlane just announced is very timely, because it takes phishing off the table completely. Dashlane’s latest update brings us a big step closer to a world where phishing just doesn’t work. Dashlane is now letting customers unlock their vaults with FIDO2 security keys like a YubiKey or Google Titan Key instead of a “master password”.

At The Information’s The Future of Influence event on Tuesday, Substack co-founder and CEO Chris Best praised recent changes to Apple’s App Store policies, calling them “fantastic”, and a major win for independent media.

While current wireless charging has its benefits, that just moves the visible wire from the device to the charging pad. The long-term dream is long-distance invisible wireless power transmission, and a new video demonstrates that we can take a big step closer to that today.

The setup embeds a large charging loop beneath the desk itself, enabling a keyboard, mouse, speakers – and even a monitor – to be powered without a cable or charging pad in sight …

If you want to promote the idea of buying refurbished tech rather than new, displaying your message on one of the world’s most iconic Apple Stores is a pretty good way to do it. Back Market projected its message on the exterior wall of London’s Covent Garden Store.

The projected message “Let’s end fast tech” is arguably mis-targeted, as Apple products are generally known for their longevity, but Back Market is calling for more thoughtful purchases and better re-use of discarded tech …

Next Monday at 1 PM ET, Apple will unveil its biggest OS redesign since iOS 7, its biggest OS rename ever, and, lack of Apple Intelligence blow-away notwithstanding, a slew of welcome features and improvements across all its operating systems.

And while much of the spotlight will probably shine on the visual overhaul, 9to5Mac has learned that Apple has also been quietly preparing a handful of enhancements to everyday apps like Messages, Music, Notes, and even CarPlay. Some of which could be announced as early as next week.

Apple is planning to overhaul its chip design for the 2026 iPhones, in a move that could mark the first time it uses advanced multi-chip packaging in a mobile device. It sounds complicated, but here’s what this means.

Apple’s big WWDC keynote is next Monday, where it will unveil major new software updates like iOS 26, macOS 26, and more. According to one recent report, however, this year’s keynote might not be quite as jam-packed as we’re used to. Here’s why we should all expect a little less from WWDC next week.

Listen to a recap of the top stories of the day from 9to5Mac. 9to5Mac Daily is available on iTunes and Apple’s Podcasts app, Stitcher, TuneIn, Google Play, or through our dedicated RSS feed for Overcast and other podcast players.

While the Apple Vision Pro may offer a glimpse into Apple’s, well… vision for gesture-based spatial computing, it’s still an awkward fit for traditional gaming. Coming next week, that may change.

Until recently, Apple’s biggest hit show, by far, was Ted Lasso. Now that title belongs to Severance. But a brand new comedy series—Stick—is the best Apple TV+ attempt yet to re-capture its Lasso magic. Here’s what reviews say.

Like it did last year, Apple officially unveiled the 2025 Apple Design Awards winners a few days before WWDC. And while this time around, Spatial Computing didn’t get its own category, apps built for Apple Vision Pro played a larger role than ever.

By this time next week, Apple will have fully unveiled its big iOS 26 redesign. But as we count the days until Monday’s WWDC keynote, one notable designer just published what could be the best preview yet of what’s coming to Apple’s software.

Apple’s WWDC keynote is only a few days away, and while software is expected to be the main focus as always, I’m increasingly optimistic we may get a surprise ‘HomePad’ appearance too. Here’s why.

Tim Cook was recently reported to be determined to bring out an Apple Glasses product ahead of Meta’s version, with one insider going so far as to say the CEO “cares about nothing else.”

A new report suggests that Meta is changing its own headset plans in what may be a move geared to accelerate its moves towards an AR glasses product …

One of the most beloved Apple TV+ series is coming back soon: Slow Horses just got its season 5 release date.

With every iOS update, Apple quietly adds additional features under its accessibility category. These features are there to give people and customers alternatives to how they interact and use their iPhones. When iOS 17 was announced, they added a new feature called Personal Voice. This new feature seemed terrific; it was a way to train your iPhone to speak and sound like you, literally. But now it’s been almost 2 years since its release. So, how well does it work?

The legal battle between Apple and the European Union is showing no signs of easing up. A possible consequence of the latest round is that Apple could end up removing AirDrop functionality from iPhones sold in the EU.

Apple has appealed a key part of the Digital Markets Act that would require it to make certain features available to third-party companies, and given its hardline attitude so far, there could be significant consequences if it loses the case …

T-Mobile Tuesdays have been offering giveaways since 2019, and the carrier is celebrating the 9th anniversary with some ‘thankiversary’ deals.

These include a free drink at 7-Eleven, and a range of food deals, including a free Burger King Whopper Jr …

The base model iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Air are currently expected to get ProMotion displays, but a leaker suggests these reports are only half-right.

They suggest that the non-Pro models will get the higher refresh-rate 120Hz displays, but that these will be lacking two key ProMotion features …
