As part of the European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) antitrust legislation, Apple will have to open up iOS to alternative app stores – and the company has released iOS 17.4 with support for what it calls App Marketplaces. But unsurprisingly, Apple wants people to know that the App Store is still the best place to download iPhone apps, and that’s exactly what it’s been telling its users.

Bluesky is a microblogging platform launched last year and backed by co-founder and former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. For over a year, Bluesky was labeled as a beta, and for that reason, the platform was accessible by invitation only. Now Bluesky is finally letting anyone join the social network – but it may be too late.

Even before the iPhone 15 was launched, there were rumors about the iPhone 16 getting a new rear camera module with the lenses aligned vertically rather than diagonally. The rumor gained more traction after the announcement of the iPhone 15 Pro, which can record Spatial Videos for Vision Pro thanks to the new camera arrangement. Now an alleged iPhone 16 schematic seems to corroborate these rumors.

As reported by Bloomberg yesterday, some Vision Pro users have found out the hard way that there’s no way to restore the device if for some reason you forget your password. If this happens, you must take your Vision Pro to an Apple Store or repair center. Luckily, visionOS 1.1 beta seems to address this problem.

As Apple Vision Pro is now available in stores and has reached the hands of thousands of customers in the U.S., we’ve seen multiple hands-on and, of course, some drop tests. Although the front glass on the Vision Pro has proven to be quite resistant to accidental damage, new tests show that it is highly susceptible to scratches.

Apple Vision Pro is now available in the U.S., and we’ve already learned a lot about what the device can and can’t do. And one of the things that some users have now discovered is that there’s no easy way to reset or remove the password from a Vision Pro if you forget it.

Update: A source told 9to5Mac that Apple Retail employees have received early access to an Apple Configurator update that lets them easily restore a Vision Pro through a Mac without having to send the device to an Apple repair center. You can read the original article below.

One of the coolest Apple Vision Pro features is the ability to use the device as a Virtual Display for your Mac, so you can just look at your computer and your screen appears as a giant window on the headset. To our surprise, this feature also works with Intel Macs – but there are some limitations.

Apple Vision Pro doesn’t have any ports other than the magnetic connector for attaching the battery, so it was unclear whether there would be any way to transfer data between Vision Pro and another device by wire connection. Now Apple has confirmed that there is a way and has introduced a new “Developer Strap” accessory that adds a USB-C port to the Vision Pro.

Apple Vision Pro is finally here – at least in the United States. Announced last June at WWDC 2023, Apple’s mixed reality headset is now available in stores with prices starting at $3,499. And after visiting the Apple Fifth Avenue store this morning, Apple CEO Tim Cook compared the launch of the Vision Pro to the launch of the iPhone and other Apple products.

Many developers and tech companies didn’t react well to the changes proposed by Apple last month to comply with the European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) antitrust legislation, and Mark Zuckerberg is on that team. The Meta CEO said on Thursday that he doubts developers will opt in to the new “onerous” terms set by Apple in the EU.

Apple recently announced a series of measures to comply with the European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) antitrust legislation, which includes allowing alternative app stores on the iPhone. To make sure developers understand what’s changing, Apple will let them request a consultation on the new guidelines announced last month.

Apple announced last year that it would extend its agreement with Qualcomm to continue using the company’s 5G modems until 2026. However, as Apple’s plans to build its own modems have been thwarted, it will continue to use Qualcomm’s modems in the iPhone until 2027 at least.

We’re only a few days away from the official launch of the Apple Vision Pro in the U.S., and we’ve been learning a lot about the device over the last few days as Apple has invited some journalists to try it out in advance. Some users have been wondering how to recover the Vision Pro firmware if it fails, and now we know that you can do it using an iPhone.

Apple Vision Pro is an extremely personal and individual device. Even so, Apple has created a “Guest User” mode so that you can let your friends and family try out the headset without accessing your personal data. However, sharing your Vision Pro with others won’t be a seamless process.

Unity on Wednesday announced the official launch of its tools to help developers build extended reality (XR) apps for Apple Vision Pro. With these tools, apps can take advantage of Unity’s technology known as “PolySpatial” to display 3D elements that interact with the real world.

Apple Vision Pro will arrive in stores and in the hands of thousands of customers in the US on Friday. For the past few weeks, Apple has been teasing some of the apps that will be available on the visionOS App Store. And to help users find new apps, the developers behind MoneyCoach have created a website that highlights visionOS apps.

Apple on Tuesday released the first public beta of iOS 17.4, the long-awaited update that brings changes required by European Union antitrust legislation, as well as some other new features. Interestingly, the first public beta comes with a revised build that is also available to developers.

WhatsApp announced last year that it would support passkeys so that users can replace their traditional password to enter the app with a more secure authentication method. However, only WhatsApp users on Android received access to the feature. Now it seems that Meta is finally working on bringing passkey support to WhatsApp on iPhone.

Apple Vision Pro will officially arrive in stores and in the hands of thousands of consumers in the US next Friday. Until then, we’ve been finding out more details about Apple’s new headset. For example, users who need corrective lenses can buy ZEISS Optical Inserts – and now we know exactly how to pair them with a Vision Pro.

Apple on Thursday released an update for the Shazam iOS app. According to the company, the latest version of the app now lets users identify songs around them or even within apps while wearing headphones.

It’s official: Apple today released iOS 17.4 beta, which enables sideloading for users in the European Union due to the new Digital Markets Act (DMA) antitrust legislation. Unsurprisingly, the changes Apple made to comply with the EU won’t be available to the rest of the world, but here’s how exactly Apple will check if your iPhone or iPad is eligible for sideloading.
