Usually, when Apple releases an AirTag update, it rolls it out in waves over several weeks to balance the load on its servers. One of those firmware updates was supposed to begin rolling out on Wednesday with the version 2.0.73 update reaching 100 percent of users by April 9.

But that gradual rollout didn’t happen–instead, it went to all active AirTags in the wild at the same time. And the reason why is kind of funny. Over on X (formally Twitter) @iSWUpdates spilled the beans... Читать дальше...

Earlier this month Apple released the new M3 MacBook Air with a surprise press release on Monday, March 4. That was notable for a couple of reasons: One, we expected Apple to hold a spring event this year, and two, they weren’t accompanied by new iPads.

With no event, we thought new iPads would launch the next day or the following week, but more than two weeks later, that hasn’t happened. Then there was a rumor earlier this week that Apple would unveil the new iPads on Tuesday... Читать дальше...

A group of university researchers has revealed a vulnerability in Apple’s M-series chips that can be exploited to gain access to cryptographic keys. Dubbed “GoFetch,” the vulnerability can be used by an attacker to access a user’s encrypted files.

On the GoFetch overview website, the researchers explain that GoFetch targets the M-series chips’ data memory-dependent prefetcher (DMP), which predicts the memory addresses that running code will use, to optimize performance. Читать дальше...

Apple wants you to avoid damaging your hearing when you’re using an iPhone or iPad (but, strangely, not a Mac). In Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Headphone Safety, enable Reduce Loud Audio, and you can set a threshold above which your iPhone or iPad will moderate sound. It doesn’t create an abrupt cutoff, but it keeps you from hearing sounds above a particular level, measured using standard decibel units.

However, once you enable this setting, it affects all external audio devices... Читать дальше...
