Apple today released a new update for Safari Technology Preview, the experimental browser that was first introduced in March 2016.

Apps Can Now Try to Stop You From Canceling Subscriptions‎

Apple today added a new subscription retention feature for developers, allowing them to show retention messages when a subscriber goes to cancel. Apple says retention messages will appear in the subscription cancellation flow and can include text, images, or a special offer. Retention messages can be added in App Store Connect for auto-renewable subscriptions, with options for subscriber eligibility and wait time between messages. Through a separate Retention Messaging API, developers can choose which messages to show a subscriber based on their subscription details. API access is by request. ‌App Store‌ users may see offers for discounts or reasons to keep a subscription before canceling.Tag: App StoreThis article, "Apps Can Now Try to Stop You From Canceling Subscriptions" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

'Super Mario Odyssey' Can Now Run on Apple TV Thanks to AI‎

A Reddit user was able to get Nintendo's "Animal Crossing: New Horizons" and "Super Mario Odyssey" to run natively on the Apple TV 4K, continuing a string of ports made possible with the use of AI (via Engadget). TVPort, Reddit user FloatingFalafel's open-source project, is a fork of the nxnative toolkit used to recompile Switch and Switch 2 games for the Apple TV using a Mac. It was built using Claude Opus 5.5. "Super Mario Odyssey" runs at 60fps according to FloatingFalafel, and "Animal Crossing" runs at 30fps. Other games haven't been tested, but the creator says people are welcome to use the open-source software to get other games to run. Game files are not included, and users will need to supply files from their own game cartridges, which requires a modified Nintendo Switch. [Release] TVPort - Port switch games to run natively on AppleTV (4k 3rd gen) by u/FloatingFalafel in decomps More intensive games like "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom" may not be able to run on the third-generation ‌Apple TV‌ 4K because of thermal throttling. The fourth-generation ‌Apple TV‌ 4K that launches November 13 may be able to run titles the third-generation model can't. Nintendo often takes issue with unofficial ways to play its games, so TVPort may not survive long. In 2024, Nintendo sued the Yuzu emulator team, and the lawsuit led to a $2.4 million settlement and the sunsetting of the emulator.Related Roundup: Apple TVBuyer's Guide: Apple TV (Buy Now)Related Forum: Apple TV and Home TheaterThis article, "'Super Mario Odyssey' Can Now Run on Apple TV Thanks to AI" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

How 'Resident Evil' Director Zach Cregger Uses His iPhone to Make Movies‎

Apple marketing chief Greg Joswiak today shared an Apple TV video that offers a look at how "Resident Evil" director Zach Cregger uses an iPhone during filmmaking. Cregger said he uses his iPhone and the Cadrage app to plan out filming sequences ahead of time. He decides what shots to take, what lenses to use for each shot, and what's in each frame. He then prints out the images so the crew knows exactly what to do. According to Cregger, he used this process for "Weapons" and "Barbarian," two movies that he wrote and directed. He said every scene in those films was planned with photos in advance. I can't match Zach Cregger's love of being afraid, but I can match his love of iPhone in the filmmaking process.— Greg Joswiak (@gregjoz) November 4, 2026 "Everybody can make a movie with what's in your pocket," he said. "It's all right there." "Resident Evil" is now available to rent or buy, including in the ‌Apple TV‌ app.Tag: Apple TVThis article, "How 'Resident Evil' Director Zach Cregger Uses His iPhone to Make Movies" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

HomePod Mini 2's Amount of RAM Confirmed‎

MacRumors has confirmed that the HomePod mini 2 is equipped with 2GB of RAM supplied by SK Hynix. This is not very surprising given the S10 chip in the Apple Watch Series 10 also has 2GB of RAM, but Apple does not list this information in its tech specs for the HomePod mini 2, so it is worth documenting.Related Roundup: HomePod mini 2Buyer's Guide: HomePod Mini (Buy Now)Related Forum: HomePod, HomeView, CarPlay – Home & Auto TechThis article, "HomePod Mini 2's Amount of RAM Confirmed" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple is Putting Employees on an AI Budget‎

Apple is curtailing employee AI use to cut costs, reports Bloomberg. In October, Apple limited some engineers to $200 per day for AI spending, down from $300. More cuts could be coming, with daily allowances for some engineers dropping to $100. Many groups outside engineering already have a $100 daily limit, but some teams could have their spending capped at $25. Apple is asking some teams to use less expensive models or switch to on-device AI. Employees who need a bigger budget will be able to ask executives for an increase. Engineers at Apple have the largest budgets because using AI for coding can consume a large number of tokens. Apple lets employees use Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and other models. Some Apple employees told Bloomberg that few were using their full $300 daily limit, so the savings may be small. Apple has also hired outside productivity consultants for some divisions. Combined with the AI cost cuts, the reviews have fueled worries about possible restructuring. Apple CEO John Ternus took over on September 1, and he reportedly wants to reduce corporate hierarchy and bloat to accomplish more with fewer people.This article, "Apple is Putting Employees on an AI Budget" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Will Check Public iCloud Links for Harmful Content Starting in iOS 27.3‎

Apple says it will start checking public iCloud links for harmful content in iOS 27.3, iPadOS 27.3, macOS 27.3, and visionOS 27.3. Images in iCloud Photos and files in iCloud Drive shared using the "Anyone with the link" option will be "made accessible to Apple" for a content check. Apple doesn't define harmful content, but it could mean malware, malicious files, and/or child sexual abuse material (CSAM) given Apple's mention of law enforcement involvement. If you try to upload harmful content, Apple reserves the right to move, refuse, modify, remove, or delete the content at any time. Apple may also take action against your Apple Account, including blocking or disabling your Apple Account, blocking the ability to create a new Apple Account with the associated email address or phone number, or if necessary, involving law enforcement. iCloud files can be shared with "Send a Copy," which sends a file directly, or "Share a Link," which lets someone download it. Link sharing options are "People you choose" or "Anyone with the link," and it's only the latter option that will be evaluated by Apple. Apple does not say whether links created before the 27.3 updates will be checked. Apple says content made available to anyone is no longer end-to-end encrypted, even when Advanced Data Protection is on. iOS 27.3, iPadOS 27.3, macOS 27.3, and visionOS 27.3 are currently available to developers for beta testing, and the software will see a public release in December.Related Roundups: iOS 27, iPadOS 27Tag: iCloudRelated Forums: iOS 27, Apple Music, Apple Pay/Card, iCloud, Fitness+This article, "Apple Will Check Public iCloud Links for Harmful Content Starting in iOS 27.3" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

macOS 27.3 Brings Live Activities to Macs Without Dynamic Island‎

The new MacBook Pro models with touch-enabled OLED displays feature the Dynamic Island instead of a notch, and it includes support for Live Activities. Fortunately, other Apple silicon Macs will not entirely miss out, as the macOS 27.3 update enables Live Activities for apps like Apple Music, Clock, and Voice Memos in the macOS menu bar. The first macOS 27.3 developer beta released this week enables Live Activities support in the menu bar for several of Apple's built-in apps, along with things like screen recording. The update is expected to be released in December. Third-party Mac apps can also implement Live Activities support now. "With Live Activities, users can now get timely updates at a glance, and can accept an AirDrop request or pause a song with a tap of their finger," explained Apple, in its press release for the MacBook Pro models with OLED displays. macOS 26 and later already supported Live Activities mirrored from an iPhone.Related Roundup: macOS Golden GateTags: Dynamic Island, Live ActivitiesRelated Forum: macOS Golden GateThis article, "macOS 27.3 Brings Live Activities to Macs Without Dynamic Island" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
