Canva Brings Free All-in-One Affinity App to iPad‎

Canva today released Affinity for iPad, bringing its free all-in-one design app to Apple's tablet, along with a new Sketch Studio built for touch and Apple Pencil. The release follows last year's desktop app relaunch, which combined the previously separate Affinity Designer, Photo, and Publisher apps into a single app for Mac and Windows. Canva had promised an iPad version in 2026, and says the desktop app has since attracted more than seven million sign-ups. The iPad app brings sketching, vector graphics, photo editing, and page layout together in one interface. Users can switch between Sketch, Vector, Pixel, and Layout studios while working in the same .af file, which can also be opened on desktop. Sketch Studio adds freehand drawing with a customizable brush library, while Sketch to Shapes turns hand-drawn forms into editable vector shapes. Photo tools include RAW editing, non-destructive adjustments, and a Mask Tool designed to help trace difficult edges such as hair and fur with Apple Pencil. Elsewhere, layout tools support multi-page documents, master pages, and print-ready output. Canva says the interface has been designed specifically for iPad rather than scaled down from the desktop app. As for Apple Pencil Pro support, it includes barrel roll, squeeze, and hover, alongside pressure and tilt controls. The core sketching, vector, photo, and layout tools are free for individuals, but a free Canva account is required to use the app. The only paid-for features are the AI tools, which are locked behind a Canva premium plan – continuing the approach introduced with 2025's desktop relaunch. The paid features are available through Canva AI Studio and include Generative Expand, image upscaling, noise reduction, and Decompose Layer, which splits a flat image into editable layers. Despite the shared file format, some desktop features are missing from the iPad version at launch. Affinity's website lists Books, Batch, Data Merge, Quick Adjustments, Info and Scope panels, macro recording, and Astrophotography Studio among the omissions, with more features planned over time. Affinity by Canva is available on the App Store as a free download with in-app purchases and requires iPadOS 18.0 or later.

iPhone Duo: Latest Buyer Wait Times‎

iPhone Duo order wait times averaged 89 days despite falling by a week, according to UBS Investment Bank data as of October 30. (Via Investing.com.) The USB Evidence Lab tracker covers iPhone availability across more than 30 markets, and puts the iPhone Duo buyer wait time at nearly three months, even after the slight improvement. By comparison, iPhone 18 Pro wait times averaged around five days, down three days from the previous week, while the Pro Max held steady at roughly 18 days. UBS said reports of cracked screens were unlikely to be the main reason for shorter Duo waits. But on their own, the figures don't tell us whether demand has weakened or supply has improved. iPhone Duo pre-orders slipped to late January within minutes on the device's October 16 launch, but most people who queued on launch day walked away with a new phone. The reason, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, is that Apple allocated roughly 80% of its initial iPhone Duo inventory to its retail stores, with locations holding as few as 50 units each. At the time, Apple described demand as "nothing short of extraordinary" and said it was working to satisfy demand "as quickly as possible," so there's a good chance that, even if a delivery estimate for your order is way out in the future, it could improve over time.

This iPhone Duo Screen Setting Is Proving Hard to Change‎

Some iPhone Duo owners have discovered that Apple's first foldable is missing a pretty important appearance setting that you can adjust during the initial setup process, but not afterwards. Display Zoom setting on iPhone 18 Pro (left) vs. iPhone Duo When you first set up an iPhone Duo (or indeed any iPhone), an option screen called Appearance lets you choose how you would like text and icons to look on the screen. You can choose Default, Medium, or Large. Usually, you can adjust your initial choice at any time by going into Settings ➝ Appearance and tapping Display Zoom. On the iPhone Duo, however, that option is missing, so you're basically stuck with the setting you chose during setup. The omission was first noticed last week by a Reddit user. According to MacRumors forum member earthdog, an Apple Support senior advisor told them there is no way to change the appearance setting beyond initial setup and the only solution is to erase the device and set it up again. MacRumors can confirm that the option remains missing on the iPhone Duo running the latest iOS 27.2 software. We've reached out to Apple about the odd exclusion and will update this article if we hear back.Related Roundup: iPhone DuoBuyer's Guide: iPhone Duo (Buy Now)Related Forum: iPhoneThis article, "This iPhone Duo Screen Setting Is Proving Hard to Change" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple HomeView Could Double as a Security Camera‎

Apple's upcoming HomeView smart home hub could also work as a HomeKit Secure Video camera, according to settings strings discovered in the device's software by code sleuth pdfu. The strings were found in HomeView Software 27.2 and feature four camera modes, including Off, Detect Activity, Stream, and "Stream & Allow Recording," along with scheduling options for when users are home, away, or asleep. Notably, pdfu says there's also a HomeView-specific configuration for 1080p/30fps video and microphone input, which the software selects for HomeKit Secure Video sessions. Other strings suggest that only home members will be able to view streams and recordings. They also indicate that a green light appears and a sound plays when a stream is viewed or recording starts, and users will receive a notification when camera settings change. The scheduling options include an away mode, but the strings suggest streaming and recording can only be enabled from the HomeView itself while people are home. Expect face recognition and activity zones to be configured in the Home app on iPhone. Elsewhere, pdfu highlighted a related Home app string suggesting that when the Home app is open on a member's device, the the HomeView may take photos to refresh its camera preview, and these too will be accompanied by a green light. Apple has not announced a camera feature for HomeView, and the presence of code strings in the device's software doesn't confirm that it will be available to users at launch. HomeView launches on Friday, November 13, starting at $299. Apple's early release of the device's software has already given us a preview of features like wallpapers, revealing other details we didn't previously know.Related Roundup: Apple HomeViewTag: pdfuBuyer's Guide: HomeView (Buy Now)Related Forum: HomePod, HomeView, CarPlay – Home & Auto TechThis article, "Apple HomeView Could Double as a Security Camera" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
