Everything Apple Still Has Coming in October‎

Apple debuted three new home products today, but the October announcements aren't over yet. Rumors suggest there will be another "event" on October 27, plus we're still waiting on the iPhone Duo. Here's everything we're expecting to see launch or be announced in October. October 16 - ‌iPhone Duo‌ pre-orders start. October 23 - ‌iPhone Duo‌ launches. October 27 - OLED touchscreen MacBook Pro, M6 14-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌, M6 iMac, ‌OLED‌ iPad mini October 30 or before - iOS 27.2, iPadOS 27.2, macOS 27.2, and other 27.2 updates launch. October 30 - HomePod mini 2 launch, ‌iPhone Duo‌ launches in more countries. Late October - Mac Studio with 512GB of RAM comes out. Apple is rumored to be holding content creator sessions in Los Angeles on October 27 and October 28 to show off the new Macs and ‌OLED‌ ‌iPad mini‌. As with the "Welcome Home" announcement, we may hear about the new devices via press release, with an in-person event for content creators and members of the media to get some hands-on time with the new products. The new Macs will debut in October, but won't ship to customers until November. With an October 27 announcement, pre-orders could happen that same day and a launch could follow as soon as November 6. Apple's ‌OLED‌ ‌MacBook Pro‌ is the product to watch because it will be Apple's first touchscreen Mac and the first redesign of the ‌MacBook Pro‌ since 2021. The new ‌MacBook Pro‌ will be lighter than the current version, and it will use M5 Pro and M5 Max chips.This article, "Everything Apple Still Has Coming in October" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Releases Third Public Betas of iOS 27.2 and macOS Golden Gate 27.2‎

Apple today seeded the third betas of iOS 27.2, iPadOS 27.2, macOS Golden Gate 27.2, and watchOS 27.2. The software comes a few hours after Apple provided the betas to developers. To get the new betas, you can sign up on Apple's beta testing website. After you're signed up, the betas can be installed through the Software Update section in the Settings app on each device. iOS 27.2 includes the redesigned Health app that Apple introduced at its September iPhone event. It features new Insights and Longevity tabs with more insight into health and fitness data. There's also a Health Age feature that uses your metrics to determine your fitness age vs. your actual age. In the Apple TV app, there are new profile options, and Siri AI is now available in French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish. There are a few other features in the updates, which are listed in our iOS 27.2 guide.Related Roundups: iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS Golden GateRelated Forums: iOS 27, macOS Golden GateThis article, "Apple Releases Third Public Betas of iOS 27.2 and macOS Golden Gate 27.2" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

iOS 27.2 Adds New Apple Music Icon‎

In the fourth beta of iOS 27.2, Apple updated the Apple Music icon. The new icon is black and white, replacing the prior red and white icon. In light mode, the logo is black on a white background, and in dark mode, it's white on a black background. The refreshed Music app icon comes after Apple debuted a new Apple Music logo in an earlier version of iOS 27.2 and in marketing materials for its recent ‌Apple Music‌ Hall announcement. Along with a new icon, the ‌Apple Music‌ app in iOS 27.2 beta 4 has blue highlights for the selected navigation bar icon rather than red, and text in the Music app's settings also swaps red for blue. ‌Apple Music‌ widgets also have a black background instead of a red background, suggesting Apple is phasing out much of the red branding for the music service.Related Roundups: iOS 27, iPadOS 27Tag: Apple MusicRelated Forum: iOS 27This article, "iOS 27.2 Adds New Apple Music Icon" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

HomePod Mini 2 Works as Default Speaker With Select Macs‎

The new HomePod mini 2 can be used as a default speaker on all Mac models with Wi-Fi 6E or later, according to Apple. You can use a single HomePod, or a pair for stereo sound. The previous-generation HomePod mini can also be used as a Mac's speaker via AirPlay, but it cannot be set as the default audio output. AirPlay can also introduce audio latency.Related Roundup: HomePod miniTag: HomePod Mini 2Buyer's Guide: HomePod Mini (Buy Now)Related Forum: HomePod, HomeView, CarPlay – Home & Auto TechThis article, "HomePod Mini 2 Works as Default Speaker With Select Macs" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Elevation Lab Pulls AirTag Silencer After Stalking Concerns‎

Earlier this year, Elevation Lab announced the launch of a "Silencer" for AirTag meant to pierce the speaker on the device to disable the sound. Elevation Lab explained that it created the Silencer to keep thieves from detecting an ‌AirTag‌ on valuable products like bikes, but the company didn't think easy speaker removal would be problematic. The ‌AirTag‌ plays a sound when it is away from its owner to alert users that a tracker might be following them. AirTags have been criticized for making stalking simple, and Apple has improved safety features multiple times since the trackers launched in 2021. The latest ‌AirTag‌ 2 even has a louder speaker and more adhesive to make the speaker harder to remove. We did not cover the launch of the Elevation Lab Silencer because we didn't want to publicize an accessory that does away with the ‌AirTag‌'s anti-stalking feature, and Elevation Lab must have heard several complaints. Six Colors' Glenn Fleishman, for example, said the device was "appalling." When he asked Elevation Lab about it, Casey Hopkins, the company's CEO, explained that users can already silence AirTags themselves, and people will still get smartphone notifications if an unknown ‌AirTag‌ is traveling with them. Elevation Lab reversed course and sent out emails today letting customers know that the Silencer is no longer available for purchase. We launched an AirTag silencing tool recently. We've always made products we want for ourselves, and this was no different - we wanted it for AirTags on our bikes. (Some of us have bikes more valuable than our cars.) In retrospect though, this also has the side effect of aiding someone with bad intentions to track someone that wouldn't get phone notifications. We have removed the product and will use our patent on it to prevent anyone else from making one in the future. The Silencer had a pin located where the ‌AirTag‌ speaker is. The device description instructed users to remove the ‌AirTag‌ battery, apply the Silencer, and hit it with a hammer to cause the pin to pierce the ‌AirTag‌'s plastic cover and the speaker below. ‌AirTag‌ alerts do make the trackers less useful for locating items stolen deliberately, but audible sound is an essential safeguard that exists to protect people from stalkers. Elevation Lab plans to use its patent to make sure other companies do not design and release a similar accessory.Related Roundup: AirTagTag: Elevation LabBuyer's Guide: AirTag (Buy Now)This article, "Elevation Lab Pulls AirTag Silencer After Stalking Concerns" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

iOS 27.2 Beta 4 Removes New Health App‎

The iOS 27.2 beta Apple released today removes the updated Health app that Apple was testing in earlier betas. The app's disappearance from the iOS 27.2 beta is not a surprise because the company made it clear that the updated Health experience was never meant to be included in iOS 27.2. Apple told MacRumors the Health app was being tested in the beta, but wouldn't launch until later in the year. After upgrading to the fourth beta, the Health app has a popup that says the new app features will come in a future update. Data collected during the beta remains available in the Settings app. Apple is planning to release iOS 27.2 later in October, and the removal of the Health app suggests a launch is getting closer. The HomePod mini 2 that launches on October 30 uses HomePod software 27.2, so the updates will need to come out before that date.Related Roundups: iOS 27, iPadOS 27Related Forum: iOS 27This article, "iOS 27.2 Beta 4 Removes New Health App" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

iPhone Duo Will Have Day-One iOS 27.1 Update‎

The iPhone Duo ships with iOS 27.1, a version of iOS 27 exclusive to the foldable device. Apple yesterday released a new build of iOS 27.1 (24A94425), which means buyers will have a day-one software update to install. The ‌iPhone Duo‌ is shipping with iOS 27.1 build 24A94232, and if it's not already in the hands of reviewers, it will be soon. Apple likely released the new build to address bugs while the Duo is being evaluated by members of the media. Since the ‌iPhone Duo‌ isn't coming out until October 23, there's plenty of time for Apple to release another iOS 27.1 update or even iOS 27.2. Buyers might not have the 24A94425 update to install if it's replaced by something newer, but either way, there will be an update required during the ‌iPhone Duo‌ setup process. Pre-orders for the ‌iPhone Duo‌ begin on Friday, October 16, at 5 a.m. Pacific Time or 8 a.m. Eastern Time. It will launch on Friday, October 23. If you're planning to pre-order the ‌iPhone Duo‌, you can use Apple's Get Ready process to select a color and capacity, as well as confirm carrier status, choose accessories, and supply billing information and payment. Get Ready speeds up pre-ordering, and it is recommended given the expectation of supply constraints.Related Roundups: iOS 27, iPadOS 27, iPhone DuoBuyer's Guide: iPhone Duo (Coming Soon)Related Forums: iOS 27, iPhoneThis article, "iPhone Duo Will Have Day-One iOS 27.1 Update" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
