Siri AI Waitlist Now Limited to Times of 'High Demand,' Says Apple‎

Apple has largely stopped making users join a waitlist to access its Siri AI assistant. According to an updated Apple support document, Siri AI "will begin to download automatically" once users opt in, but the waitlist is now reserved "during time of high demand," and wait times can vary. The document previously said that enabling the assistant "will add you to a waitlist," as noted by 9to5Mac. The document was updated on November 2, likely following two months of Apple testing server load. Released in September, Siri AI remains in beta across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Vision Pro.Tags: Siri, Siri AIThis article, "Siri AI Waitlist Now Limited to Times of 'High Demand,' Says Apple" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

See Apple's Touchscreen MacBook Pro in Action‎

Apple enlisted British musician Labrinth to create a new song during an overnight livestream, demonstrating the new touchscreen MacBook Pro and Logic Pro at Apple Tower Theatre in downtown Los Angeles. The session, titled "Labrinth Live on Mac," is now available to watch as a replay lasting almost four hours. It started on November 4 at 8 p.m. Pacific, or 11 p.m. Eastern, with Labrinth tasked with creating a song from scratch. He can be seen reaching onto the ‌MacBook Pro‌'s display to manipulate Logic Pro's mixer controls, with a multitrack arrangement visible onscreen. Viewers were invited to submit questions as he worked, and the finished song is due for release on Apple Music next week. Apple initially teased the collaboration on TikTok with a white box bearing Labrinth's name and instructions to leave it unopened until November 4. Music production was among the uses Apple demonstrated when it unveiled the new MacBook Pro last week. Logic Pro includes an onscreen keyboard, chord pads, and drum pads that musicians can play by touch, including playing multiple notes at once. Labrinth is a singer, songwriter, and producer known for solo releases including "Jealous" and "Earthquake," as well as his music for HBO's "Euphoria." He also forms the group LSD with Sia and Diplo. The ‌MacBook Pro‌ with PROLED XDR Display features a tandem OLED touchscreen and M5 Pro or M5 Max chips in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes. The machines launch on Friday, November 6, with U.S. prices starting at $2,899 for the 14-inch model and $3,399 for the 16-inch model.Related Roundup: MacBook ProBuyer's Guide: MacBook Pro (Buy Now)Related Forum: MacBook ProThis article, "See Apple's Touchscreen MacBook Pro in Action" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

MacBook Neo Shipments Expected to Double in 2027‎

Apple wants suppliers to make 16 million MacBook Neo laptops in 2027, or double the amount expected for this year, according to supply chain sources (via DigiTimes). Apple released its first MacBook Neo in March 2026, featuring an A18 Pro chip with 8GB of RAM, and coming in Silver, Blush, Citrus, and Indigo colors. The laptop originally started at $599, but Apple raised the price to $699 in June as part of a broader re-pricing of its Mac and iPad lineup. Apple still offers a $100 discount to college students and educational staff. In September, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported that Apple plans to release a second-generation MacBook Neo in 2027 with an A19 Pro chip, 12GB of RAM, and new color options. Today's report doesn't mention a second-generation MacBook Neo, but if Apple decides to refresh the laptop in March – approximately one year since it launched – then the supply chain forecast could still make sense. During his first earnings call as Apple CEO, John Ternus said the company has sold more Macs in fiscal 2026 than in any previous year. Apple doesn't break out Mac sales by model, but supply chain sources cited in today's report suggest MacBook Neo shipments were the overriding reason for the growth.Related Roundup: MacBook NeoTag: DigiTimesBuyer's Guide: MacBook Neo (Neutral)Related Forum: MacBook NeoThis article, "MacBook Neo Shipments Expected to Double in 2027" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

HomeView Code Suggests Future Support for AI Chatbot Apps, Anti-Spoofing Protection‎

Code discovered in the iOS 27.3 beta suggests Apple is laying the groundwork for chatbot apps on its upcoming HomeView smart home hub, according to the code investigator known as pdfu. The software HomeView uses to display apps from a connected iPhone or iPad is said to have gained a "Conversational Apps" category in the latest beta. The update also reportedly adds preparations for two-way audio routing, session management, and interruptions, but pdfu notes that it is "still not fully wired up." Apple hasn't announced chatbot apps for HomeView, and the code doesn't show which apps could use the category or when it could launch, so support for ChatGPT, Claude, or other chatbots is unconfirmed. It's not the first time the possibility has been floated: pdfu suggested on Sunday that chatbot apps might follow based on an unused flag in HomeView's software. Anti-Spoofing Protection In a separate finding, pdfu also discovered that HomeView includes anti-spoofing protection. Apparently, after three spoof attempts for a profile, the user must authenticate with an iPhone to see personal data, and the protection is enabled in HomeView software 27.2. Apple is also said to be working on a lockout cooldown system, similar to what happens when you enter the wrong passcode on an iPhone. A first lockout can be cleared immediately, but a second lockout brings a one-hour wait, a third a four-hour wait, and a fourth (or any further) lockout an eight-hour wait. pdfu adds that the lockout cooldown periods are still in development, so for now any lockout can be cleared immediately by authenticating with an iPhone. Apple hasn't described either feature in its press materials. HomeView Launches Next Week HomeView launches on November 13 for $299, in both desktop and wall-mounted versions. Here's what Apple has announced so far: 7-inch Liquid Retina display, in a tabletop model with a speaker base and a wall-mounted model. Face recognition for up to six users, each with a personal Home Screen with apps and widgets. Siri AI, with conversations that continue in the Siri app on other Apple devices. Personal content from Messages, FaceTime, Calendar, Reminders, and Find My, shown when the enrolled user is recognized and their iPhone or iPad is nearby and recently unlocked. Faces including Photos, Flow, Snoopy, Home Modular, and Home Camera. Apple Music, Podcasts, News, and Apple TV, plus compatible third-party audio and video apps. Handoff from iPhone, and multiroom audio with HomePod, HomePod mini, and AirPlay speakers. FaceTime with Center Stage, Messages by voice or keyboard, and Intercom. Step-by-step recipes from the web with hands-free timers. Smart home controls, including a Home Camera face that shows up to nine live camera feeds. With a supported iCloud+ subscription, recognition of people, pets, packages, and vehicles from compatible cameras. Smoke and carbon monoxide alarm sound detection. Support for Apple Home Collection accessories, other "Works with Apple Home" accessories, and Matter. HomeView won't have an App Store. However, as we reported last month, it shows CarPlay-style third-party audio and video apps from a connected iPhone or iPad. HomeView isn't on sale in the European Union because Siri AI is currently unavailable in iOS there, and Apple says it is still working with the EU to find a path forward to make it available in the bloc.Related Roundup: Apple HomeViewTag: pdfuBuyer's Guide: HomeView (Buy Now)Related Forum: HomePod, HomeView, CarPlay – Home & Auto TechThis article, "HomeView Code Suggests Future Support for AI Chatbot Apps, Anti-Spoofing Protection" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Got an iPhone Duo on Launch Day? Tomorrow Could Be Your Last Chance to Return It‎

If you bought an iPhone Duo on launch day and are having second thoughts about keeping Apple's first foldable iPhone, tomorrow could be your last chance to return it for a refund. Apple officially launched the iPhone Duo on Friday, October 23, so the standard 14-day return window for customers who purchased and received the device that day expires on Friday, November 6. Under Apple's U.S. return policy, customers have 14 calendar days from receiving a product to return it, whether they purchased it online or at an Apple retail store. A similar standard return period applies in the UK and across much of the rest of Europe. If you bought the iPhone Duo in Canada, then you have slightly longer. Under Apple's Canadian return policy, buyers have 15 calendar days from receiving their device to initiate a return, so if you got your device on launch day then you have until Saturday, November 7 to return it. UK and EU Online Customers Have More Time to Send It Back There's an important distinction to note if you're in the UK or the European Union and you purchased your iPhone Duo online. Under consumer protection laws, you have 14 days from receiving the device to notify Apple that you intend to return it. Once you've made that notification, you have a further 14 days to send the device back or arrange a collection. In other words, if you're a UK or EU customer who received the iPhone Duo on October 23 and you request a return tomorrow, then you could have until November 20 to dispatch it. This also applies to devices ordered online and collected at an Apple Store. However, if you actually purchased your device directly at a physical Apple Store – which probably means you waited in a separate line to collections – then you generally need to return it within the initial 14-day window. Note that the November 6 deadline doesn't apply to everyone who pre-ordered the iPhone Duo. Apple's return period is calculated from when customers received their devices, rather than when they placed their orders, so if your iPhone Duo arrived after launch day, you have more time to return it for a refund – if that's your preference. What to Know Before Returning Your iPhone Duo Apple asks customers to return their devices with the original packaging and included accessories. Also, remember to disable Find My for the iPhone Duo before returning the device. Returns can be initiated through Apple's online Order Status page or, in the US, at an Apple retail store. Keep in mind that these policies apply only to purchases made directly from Apple – if you bought an iPhone Duo through a carrier or third-party retailer, you'll be subject to that seller's return policy. Lastly, if you signed up for a new cellular plan with the iPhone Duo, returning the device may not automatically cancel that service. Apple advises contacting your carrier about cancellation requirements and any associated fees. Do you plan on returning your iPhone Duo? Let us know in the comments.Related Roundup: iPhone DuoBuyer's Guide: iPhone Duo (Buy Now)Related Forum: iPhoneThis article, "Got an iPhone Duo on Launch Day?
