Employees relying on third-party AI use to perform work at Apple will need to cut back as funding has been reduced by as much as a third for some.Apple's AI funding for external bots has been reducedInternal artificial intelligence use has become too expensive for many companies, including Apple, as returns for the expenses continue to wane. Apple uses the features for coding assistance, bug hunting, and more, but reliance on these expensive tools is proving costly.According to a report from Bloomberg, Apple has already cut available funds from $300 to $200 per engineer. Some cuts have even seen cuts down to $100, and yet some still have as little as $25 in AI funding for their projects. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums

Apple added Reachability support to the iPhone Duo in the iOS 27.3 beta, allowing owners of the foldable to more easily reach things from the other side of the large internal display. Here's how it works.iPhone Duo's internal displayThe iPhone Duo has a massive internal screen, but while you would think it's ideal for two-handed use, some may still lament the inability to access everything on the screen with a single thumb. As part of iOS 27.3's developer beta, that's no longer a problem for the iPhone Duo.As part of the update, Reachability will temporarily shift the left or right side of the screen to the other side with a short swipe. This allows every part of the interface to be accessible from one hand that's also holding the iPhone Duo itself. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums
StandBy is a feature that has been available on iPhones since 2023, but with iPhone Duo, Apple has upgraded it to become a whole new way to access glanceable information not just when charging, but whenever it's not being used.Vertical StandBy mode for iPhone Duo is just one optionSince StandBy was added to the iOS 17 feature list at WWDC in June of 2023, it's been limited in a couple of key ways. The iPhone Duo addresses both.The first limitation is that StandBy only works when an iPhone is being charged, whether plugged into a cable or attached to a MagSafe charger. The other is that iPhones have relatively small displays, so there's only so much room for information. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums
Citing sources familiar with the matter, Sigmund Judge claims that Apple TV is commissioning a "Silo" sequel.

In the wake of the shockingly insecure security certificate fiasco, Apple has now completely blocked the compromised eMudhra certificates in macOS 27.3.The security certificates were far from secure. In October, security researchers discovered that a number of certificates issued by one certificate authority were woefully insecure, to an obscene degree. While Apple has worked to block the certificates from being used, the current developer beta round goes one stage further.After the discovery of the astoundingly weak certificates, Apple was able to stop the affected certificates from being used on iOS, iPadOS, and its other operating systems. However, as the curl utility in macOS doesn't check revocation information, Macs that had previously trusted the certificates would continue to do so, despite Apple's measures.
