Apple Responds to Slowing China Sales With Lunar New Year Discounts‎

Apple is offering discounts of up to 1,000 yuan ($144) on some products in China in anticipation of a holiday shopping rush and competitive pricing from local vendors, reports the South China Morning Post. Ahead of February's Lunar New Year, Apple's mainland China website and official stores are offering limited-time discounts on products including the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, as well as some MacBook, iPad, Apple Watch, and AirPods models. The discounts come into effect between January 24 and January 27. Apple led the Chinese smartphone market in the fourth quarter of 2025 with a 22 percent share, thanks to strong iPhone 17 sales. Despite the demand, sales are said to have been falling month on month, and the promotions are aimed at countering the decline. China's smartphone market shrank 1.6 percent year on year in Q4 2025, while full-year shipments declined 0.6 percent. Counterpoint analysts have put the decline down to weak demand amid rising prices and global memory shortages. Chinese government policies appear to have played a role too. Under government subsidies, consumers of electronics get a 15% refund of products that are priced under 6,000 yuan ($820). Apple partly missed out on the program, since its iPhone Pro models exceed the price cutoff, giving its local rivals an edge.Tag: ChinaThis article, "Apple Responds to Slowing China Sales With Lunar New Year Discounts" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

ChatGPT Atlas Gains Tab Groups, Auto Google/AI Search Switching‎

OpenAI is rolling out another noteworthy update to ChatGPT Atlas, its AI-powered browser for Mac. As per the release notes, the latest build introduces tab groups, allowing users to organize their browsing sessions more efficiently. The update also brings fixes for vertical tab "mini mode" and a simplified right-click context menu for tabs. On the search front, Atlas now features an "Auto" mode that automatically switches between ChatGPT and Google depending on the query. The search results UI has also been refreshed with a new vertical layout that more prominently displays links in answers. Elsewhere in this update, Safari users migrating to Atlas will now be prompted to install the iCloud passwords extension during onboarding. Other changes include a simplified address bar context menu, crash fixes, updated translations, and support for macOS keyboard text replacements on webpages. Today's update follows the browser's first major update that came in November. That introduced vertical tabs, iCloud Passkey support, and Google as a default search engine option. Atlas currently remains available only on macOS, but OpenAI has said Windows, iOS, and Android versions are coming.Tag: ChatGPTThis article, "ChatGPT Atlas Gains Tab Groups, Auto Google/AI Search Switching" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Claude AI iPhone App Can Now Connect to Apple Health in the US‎

Anthropic's Claude AI chatbot is gaining Apple Health integration, allowing the assistant to access users' health and fitness data directly from their iPhone. The feature is rolling out in beta this week via the Claude iOS app, Anthropic announced as part of a broader healthcare push. U.S. subscribers on Claude Pro and Max plans can opt in to share their data, including movement, sleep, and activity patterns. Once connected, Claude can summarize medical history, explain test results, detect patterns across fitness metrics, and help users prepare questions for doctor appointments. HealthEx and Function connectors are also available in beta. Anthropic says the integrations are "private by design." Users choose exactly what they share, must explicitly opt in, and can revoke access at any time. Health data isn't used to train models, according to the company. The announcement comes two weeks after OpenAI launched ChatGPT Health with its own Apple Health connector. Both companies stress their tools aren't intended for diagnosis and aren't a substitute for professional medical advice.Tags: Anthropic, Apple HealthThis article, "Claude AI iPhone App Can Now Connect to Apple Health in the US" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Cut Apple Music iPhone Storage Usage in Minutes – Here’s How‎

As an Apple Music subscriber, you're able to download songs, playlists, and albums from the Apple Music catalog to your iPhone or iPad for offline listening, but this can gradually eat up your device's storage space over time. Fortunately the Music app includes a handy feature that can spring into action whenever your device's storage space runs low, and automatically offload songs you haven't played for a while in order to make space for newer ones. It's called Optimized Storage, and here's how you can enable it. Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad. Scroll down to the apps list and select Music. Under Downloads, tap Optimized Storage. Toggle the Optimized Storage switch to the "on" position so that it shows green. Choose a minimum storage amount that you want to keep for music before downloaded songs start being removed from your device.You can also monitor storage space by turning off automatic downloads and making sure to download new songs manually when needed. There's also an option to remove downloaded songs one by one from the Apple Music app if you prefer not to have songs offloaded by Apple automatically.
