The plan aims to raise US$ 518 million to support African countries together with partners to prepare for, rapidly detect and respond to the outbreak. The six-month plan, covering June to November 2026, brings together governments, partners and communities under a unified ‘One Response’ approach to strengthen outbreak response measures, including emergency coordination, disease surveillance, laboratory testing, infection prevention and control, clinical care, community engagement, research, logistics and support for essential health services. The plan complements national response plans launched by the Governments of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda. “The only way to beat this outbreak is through close partnership, working together under the leadership of the affected countries in one coordinated effort, guided by a simple principle: one plan, one budget, one team,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. “Containing Ebola depends on political commitment, sustained financing, and the trust and engagement of communities. This plan places communities at the centre, because without their participation, contact tracing falters, safe care is delayed, and transmission continues.” Dr Jean Kaseya, Director-General of Africa CDC, said: “Ebola moves fast. Africa must move faster. This joint plan gives the continent a clear path to act with speed and unity: to save lives, support the affected countries and protect neighbouring communities. With Member States, WHO and partners, Africa CDC is turning commitment into action and resources into response for the communities at risk.” The plan also focuses on protecting vulnerable populations, strengthening cross-border collaboration, and supporting countries to respond quickly to new cases. At a time when there are no licensed vaccines or therapeutics specifically approved for the Bundibugyo species of Ebola, the plan aims to strengthen health systems to ensure resilience even as countries respond to acute health emergencies. Implementation of preparedness and response activities is already underway across affected and at-risk countries. Furthermore, in 10 priority countries critical measures are being strengthened to enhance public health emergency preparedness and ensure early detection and swift response. The plan emphasizes the need to maintain support for other ongoing health emergencies, including mpox, cholera and measles, to prevent disruptions to critical response efforts and safeguard progress towards stronger, more resilient health systems. This coordinated effort comes as response operations accelerate in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where authorities, with support from Africa CDC, WHO and partners, are ramping up efforts to curb the spread of the virus and end the outbreak. Africa CDC and WHO urge Member States to strengthen screening and public health measures at points of entry and enhance cross-border coordination and solidarity to support a timely, effective and evidence-based response to the outbreak. Through the joint preparedness and response plan, the continent is mobilising its collective expertise and resources to reinforce response measures, acting as one to control the outbreak and protect communities across the region. Its successful implementation will require strong political commitment, sustained investment and close collaboration among governments, health workers, communities and partners. Drawing on lessons learned from previous Ebola outbreaks and recent public health emergencies, the plan also provides a pathway to broadly strengthen Africa’s capacity to prevent, detect and respond to future health threats while protecting lives and livelihoods.

This high-level visit comes at a challenging time, as the country responds to an outbreak of Ebola disease caused by the Bundibugyo virus. The Ministry of Health reports a rapidly evolving situation, with cases and deaths notified in several health zones of Ituri, North Kivu and South Kivu. The Government, with support from WHO and partners, is intensifying surveillance, laboratory testing and patient care to interrupt transmission as quickly as possible The Government of the DRC is firmly leading a comprehensive national response, working closely with provincial authorities in Ituri and neighbouring provinces. WHO, alongside the broader United Nations system and health and humanitarian partners, is fully committed to supporting these efforts. Together, DRC authorities, WHO and partners are working to strengthen coordination, mobilize additional resources, and ensure that life-saving interventions reach affected communities quickly and equitably Central to this response is the recognition that communities are at the heart of the solution. Success will depend on the trust, engagement and leadership of local communities. National and provincial authorities, with support from WHO and partners, are intensifying dialogue with community leaders, women's groups, youth representatives, religious leaders and the private sector to better understand local concerns and co-develop solutions that are culturally appropriate and effective. While the Bundibugyo strain presents additional challenges, including the absence of a licensed vaccine or specific treatment, proven public health measures remain effective in slowing transmission and potential full recovery. The Ministry of Health, WHO and partners are working to rapidly undertake randomized control trials on candidate vaccines and treatments. Persistent challenges include early detection and isolation of cases, contact tracing, safe and dignified burials, robust infection prevention and control in health facilities, and strong community awareness. The Government and WHO call on all communities to continue adopting protective behaviours, including regular hand hygiene, early care seeking in health facilities, and sharing accurate information. The DRC brings unparalleled experience to this response, having successfully contained multiple previous Ebola outbreaks. This experience, combined with strong political leadership at the highest level of the State and renewed international solidarity, provides a firm foundation for bringing the current outbreak under control. Both parties emphasize that outbreak response must maintain primary health care and essential services and strengthen long-term health system resilience. Investments made today in laboratories, health workers, surveillance systems and essential services will leave a legacy for the people of Ituri and the DRC as a whole. We sincerely thank our international partners for the support already provided to response operations, and we encourage sustained solidarity to bring this outbreak under control. Cooperation between countries must also ensure that borders remain open, and that entry controls do not obstruct the flow of desperately needed medical supplies and personnel. Together, DRC authorities, WHO, Africa CDC and partners are working to strengthen coordination, mobilize additional resources, and ensure that life-saving interventions reach affected communities quickly and equitably."}, {"published": "2026-06-07 21:52", "relative_age": "57 min", "source": "NYTimes World", "category": "world", "title": "Ukraine Turns to Europe as U.S. Steps Back as Mediator in Peace Talks", "link": "https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/07/world/europe/ukraine-europe-russia-us-peace-talks.html", "topic_tag": "back", "cves": [], "vendor": "", "cvss": null, "risk_level": "low", "item_type": "misc", "summary": "President Volodymyr Zelensky traveled to London to meet with the leaders of Britain, Germany and France, whom he said could be negotiators in talks with Russia."}, {"published": "2026-06-07 19:56", "relative_age": "2 h", "source": "TechCrunch", "category": "tech", "title": "Notion restores access to Anthropic after service disruption", "link": "https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/07/notion-restores-access-to-anthropic-after-service-disruption/", "topic_tag": "access", "cves": [], "vendor": "", "cvss": null, "risk_level": "low", "item_type": "misc", "summary": "Notion's head of product said he was \"astonished\" at “the amount of people RT-ing this.\""}, {"published": "2026-06-07 19:46", "relative_age": "3 h", "source": "France 24", "category": "world", "title": "French Open: Zverev beats Cobolli to win first Grand Slam title", "link": "https://www.france24.com/en/sport/20260607-french-open-german-alexander-zverev-beats-flavio-cobolli-to-claim-first-grand-slam-title", "topic_tag": "beats", "cves": [], "vendor": "", "cvss": null, "risk_level": "low", "item_type": "misc", "summary": "Alexander Zverev finally secured his maiden Grand Slam title with a dramatic five-set victory over Italy's Flavio Cobolli in the French Open final on Sunday."}, {"published": "2026-06-07 17:34", "relative_age": "5 h", "source": "France 24", "category": "world", "title": "Armenia's parliamentary election a vote on nation's 'geopolitical future'", "link": "https://www.france24.com/en/armenia-s-parliamentary-election-a-vote-on-nation-s-geopolitical-future", "topic_tag": "armenia", "cves": [], "vendor": "", "cvss": null, "risk_level": "low", "item_type": "misc", "summary": "Armenians voted on Sunday in a parliamentary election seen as a test of the government's efforts to forge a peace deal following a crushing military defeat by Azerbaijan three years ago. \"This is really a vote on the geopolitical future of Armenia and its ties with Russia,\" FRANCE 24's Philip Turle said in an analysis.

Apple this week teased the event with a new \"All systems glow\" tagline, a play on the phrase \"all systems go,\" and it likely hints at Siri's rumored new design on iOS 27. Both a dedicated Siri app and a new \"Search or Ask\" feature in the iPhone's Dynamic Island will reportedly have a dark color scheme with glowing elements, as shown in leaked images last week. Apple has also shared new WWDC 2026-themed wallpapers, an Apple Music playlist, and a \"Get Ready\" video to help developers prepare to get the most out of next week's conference. MacBook Neo is So Popular That Apple Reportedly Doubled Production On an earnings call in late April, Apple's CEO Tim Cook said that customer response to the MacBook Neo was \"off the charts,\" and the popularity of the laptop has reportedly led the company to significantly boost production. Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo this week said he believes that MacBook Neo shipments to Apple were doubled from an initial target of 5 million units to 10 million units in 2026 at some point after the laptop launched in March. The MacBook Neo is quickly reshaping the low-cost laptop segment, with companies like Acer, ASUS, and Dell reacting to the shift and in some cases already introducing their own competing products. New Apple TV and HomePod Mini Are 'Nearly Ready' to Launch, New Siri Remote Also Rumored New models of the Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini are \"nearly ready to go,\" according to the latest word from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

According to Apple's release notes, the update fixes a previously documented charging issue with ‌iPhone Air‌ and ‌iPhone 17‌ models. macOS Tahoe also got a 26.5.1 release this week, and it fixes an issue that can affect certain enterprise users on Macs equipped with the latest M5 chip. First 'Confirmed' iPhone Ultra Color Allegedly Revealed in Leaked Image Apple is expected to launch its first foldable iPhone later this year. Rumors suggest the \"iPhone Ultra\" will come in two color options, and a leaker shared an image this week that allegedly shows one of them. Posted on Weibo by the Chinese leaker known as Ice Universe, the image purportedly offers a first glimpse of Apple's foldable in white. The device is believed to have entered early mass production, but the model shown is likely a dummy. Regardless, fellow leaker Instant Digital has said white is so far the only \"confirmed\" finish that the device will be available in. The iPhone Ultra will reportedly feature vapor chamber cooling and a liquid metal hinge, with production efforts said to be ramping up now following reports of some delays due to various challenges with the complicated high-end device. iPhone 18 Pro Battery Capacities Allegedly Leaked Battery capacities for Apple's upcoming iPhone 18 Pro have allegedly surfaced, and the numbers suggest only a modest increase over the iPhone 17 Pro. According to prolific Weibo-based leaker Digital Chat Station, Apple is testing the iPhone 18 Pro with different battery capacities for the China and U.S. versions of the device, similar to last year's iPhone 17 Pro models. The Chinese model is said to have a roughly 4,056 mAh battery, while the U.S. model is said to have a roughly 4,288 mAh battery. In other iPhone 18 Pro rumors, the all-new variable aperture camera will reportedly cost Apple 50% more than the corresponding unit in the current iPhone 17 Pro, while some fresh dummy units revisited the expected colors for this year's Pro models.

We'll see how Apple is going to compete with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google in the months to come with an AI version of Siri and new AI features for its apps. Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos. iOS 27 Siri Changes Big changes are coming in iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27, and Apple employees haven't been able to keep quiet. We've heard details on a long list of AI updates Apple has planned, with enough detail that screenshots could be recreated by Bloomberg. Much of what's rumored relates to AI features and changes. New Siri Features Based on Apple's promises and rumors about what's coming in the new version of iOS, ‌Siri‌ in ‌iOS 27‌ will be nothing like ‌Siri‌ in iOS 26. In 2024, Apple showed us three ways that ‌Siri‌ will improve, but two years have passed and extra work has been done, so we're expecting even more than what Apple demonstrated back then. ‌Siri‌ is going to be able to draw on user data and information from Apple devices, with access to personal data for completing tasks. The assistant is also going to be able to do more with apps, and it will be able to tell what's on the screen to answer questions. Personal Context ‌Siri‌ will be able to access emails, messages, files, photos, and more, learning all about you to help you complete tasks and keep track of what you've been sent. Apple offered some examples of how personal context will work: Show me the files Eric sent me last week. Find the email where Eric mentioned ice skating. Find the books that Eric recommended to me. Where's the recipe that Eric sent me? What's my passport number? Onscreen Awareness Onscreen awareness will let ‌Siri‌ see what's on your screen and complete actions involving whatever you're looking at. If someone texts you an address, you can tell ‌Siri‌ to add it to their contact card. Or if you're looking at a photo and want to send it to someone, you can ask ‌Siri‌ to do it for you. App Integration ‌Siri‌ will be able to do more in and across apps, performing actions and completing tasks that are just not possible with the personal assistant right now. We don't have a full picture of what ‌Siri‌ will be capable of, but Apple gave a few examples of what to expect. Moving files from one app to another. Editing a photo and then sharing it with someone. Getting directions home and sending the ETA in the Messages app. Drafting and then sending an email. ‌Siri‌ will be able to complete tasks in Apple apps and in third-party apps, with developers able to expose app capabilities to ‌Siri‌. Siri Chatbot Apple needs a ‌Siri‌ app because ‌Siri‌ is becoming a chatbot. ‌Siri‌ will be like ChatGPT or Claude, able to draw on information from the web to provide answers to questions. ‌Siri‌ will be deeply integrated into iOS, iPadOS, and macOS at the system level, and can draw on device information. It will know more personal context than before, and will be able to access emails, texts, photos, calendar information, contacts, notes, and other personal data. Some of what ‌Siri‌ will be able to do: Search the web for information Generate images Generate content Summarize information Analyze uploaded files Use personal data to complete tasks Ingest information from emails, messages, files and more Write emails, notes, and texts Analyze open windows and on-screen content to take action Control device features and settings Search for on-device content, replacing Spotlight ‌Siri‌ will be integrated into Apple apps like Mail, Messages, Photos, and Apple TV. Siri Design With ‌Siri‌'s chatbot transition, Apple will be making multiple Siri-related design changes. ‌Siri‌ will largely live in the Dynamic Island, and Bloomberg says there will be new ways to access ‌Siri‌. Swiping down from the center of the iPhone's display from the Home Screen or any app will bring up a new \"Search or Ask\" feature in the ‌Dynamic Island‌. A glowing, pill-shaped animation will be displayed in the ‌Dynamic Island‌ to indicate that ‌Siri‌ is processing a request. When ‌Siri‌ has an answer, the ‌Dynamic Island‌ will expand into a transparent card with the result, incorporating images, info from the web, notes and other information relevant to the query or request. Swiping on the results card will bring up a conversation mode that looks similar to an iMessage chat, and there will be an option to transition to the full ‌Siri‌ app. Search or Ask replaces ‌Siri‌ Suggestions and will let users launch apps, start text messages, ask about the weather, add calendar appointments, trigger shortcuts in apps, and search the web using Apple's new AI web search feature. Search or Ask queries can also be sent to third-party chatbot services like ChatGPT instead of ‌Siri‌. While ‌Siri‌ can be accessed through a swipe in ‌iOS 27‌, Apple is keeping the \"Hey ‌Siri‌\" wake word and ‌Siri‌ activation through the Side button. With the new center swipe, accessing the Notification Center will be done with a swipe down on the left side of the display. Swiping down on the right side will continue to bring up Control Center. With the change to how Notification Center is accessed, notifications will now slide in from the left side of the iPhone instead of the top of the display. Apple will also integrate an \"Ask ‌Siri‌\" button into the menus of its apps, giving users a way to send content directly to ‌Siri‌ alongside a request. The new ‌Siri‌ interface uses dark colors with no light mode available. ‌Siri‌ UI elements have a dark background with color accents that mirror the options Apple is using in WWDC imagery. Apple's WWDC website features a white Swift bird with subtle highlights in pink, dark blue, purple, and orange. Standalone Siri App Bloomberg recently shared a mockup of what the standalone ‌Siri‌ app will look like, and it's similar to other chatbot apps like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. ‌Siri‌ will support text or voice-based conversations. The app will open with an \"Ask ‌Siri‌\" bar where users can type in a question. A paperclip icon will be available for attaching images, PDFs, and other documents. Apple will provide prompts with suggestions on what users can ask. Questions will resemble iMessage chat bubbles, with Apple adopting a design that is familiar to users. Responses will include links, images, and other information. A section of the app will be dedicated to past conversations that can be shown in a card-style interface with conversation summaries, or a list view. Users will be able to tap into a conversation to continue it. Siri Privacy Apple plans to lean into privacy as a central principle of its approach to AI, giving it a way to distinguish ‌Siri‌ from other chatbot options. Apple will likely aim to keep as much processing on-device as possible to limit the amount of data that leaves a user's device. Apple said that Apple Intelligence features will continue to run on Apple devices and Private Cloud Compute. Apple will have limits around memory, including restrictions on the information that can persist and how long it is kept. Users will be able to auto-delete ‌Siri‌ chats and requests after a set period of time, like 30 days or one year. There will also be an option to keep chats permanently, and chats will sync across Apple devices signed into the same iCloud account. ‌Siri‌ can be turned off right now, as can ‌Apple Intelligence‌, and there's no sign that's going to change in ‌iOS 27‌. Users who don't want to enable ‌Siri‌ or use the new features will not have to. Siri Extensions Apple is letting rival chatbots integrate with ‌Siri‌ in ‌iOS 27‌, expanding on the OpenAI partnership that currently allows ‌Siri‌ to hand off requests to ChatGPT, Bloomberg says Apple plans to allow other chatbots like Claude and Gemini to work with ‌Siri‌, so users will be able to send questions to their favorite chatbot instead of ‌Siri‌. iPhone users will be able to select which services they want to use inside ‌Siri‌ through \"Extensions\" options coming to ‌iOS 27‌, iPadOS 27, and ‌macOS 27‌. The options will be available in the ‌Apple Intelligence‌ and ‌Siri‌ section of the Settings app, with Apple providing download links for chatbot apps. There will be a dedicated Extensions section in the App Store that will serve as a way to choose a third-party AI app. ‌Siri‌ will be the default for the Search or Ask interface, but rumors suggest users will be able to select other chatbots to speak with. Users will also be able to choose third-party AI services as the default for ‌Apple Intelligence‌ features like Writing Tools and Image Playground, expanding ‌Apple Intelligence‌ integration beyond ChatGPT. Apple also plans to let users choose voices from third-party AI to use instead of ‌Siri‌, so there will be a distinct audio difference between a response from ‌Siri‌ and a response from the user's chatbot of choice. ‌Siri‌ would use one voice, while responses from third-party AI options would use another voice. Google Gemini Backbone To get ‌Siri‌ up and running, Apple partnered with Google to use Gemini AI models instead of using its own AI models. Apple signed a multi-year deal to use Google's Gemini models and cloud technology for its Apple Foundation Models, and it's costing Apple somewhere around $1 billion a year. Google and Apple said that the next generation of Apple Foundation Models will be based on Google Gemini models, with Gemini used to power future ‌Apple Intelligence‌ features and the more personalized version of ‌Siri‌. Apple said Google's AI technology offered the most capable foundation for its models. iOS 27 Apps and Feature Updates Camera Apple is moving Visual Intelligence from the Camera Control button to the Camera app in ‌iOS 27‌. Bloomberg has shared images of the new interface, featuring a ‌Siri‌ mode that's available alongside the existing Photo, Video, Portrait, and Panorama modes. When in ‌Siri‌ mode, the existing Camera app shutter button will feature the ‌Apple Intelligence‌ logo, letting users know the ‌Siri‌ features are available. ‌Siri‌ mode is a renaming of ‌Visual Intelligence‌, and it will make the feature more visible. Accessing ‌Visual Intelligence‌ in ‌iOS 26‌ requires users to hold down the Camera Control button or assign the feature to the Action button, and many people may not even know it exists. ‌Visual Intelligence‌ can identify objects, plants, animals, art, books, and more, searching for whatever the user snaps on Google Image Search. In ‌iOS 27‌, ‌Siri‌ will be able to answer questions about what a user is looking at, providing information from the web. Apple is adding new ‌Visual Intelligence‌ capabilities in ‌iOS 27‌, and they will be available through the Camera app ‌Siri‌ mode. Nutrition - Users can scan nutrition labels on food packaging for calorie and macronutrient tracking using the Health app. Contacts - ‌Visual Intelligence‌ will let users scan phone numbers and addresses on business cards and other print media, adding the information to the Contacts app. Apple plans to make the Camera app more customizable in ‌iOS 27‌. iPhone users will be able to replace the top row of camera shortcuts with options of their choosing, selecting features like flash, exposure, timer, depth of field, photo styles, and resolution. Camera controls, now labeled as widgets, can be placed at the top of the Camera interface in any order. Users can select widgets from a transparent widget tray that comes up from the bottom of the app and organizes widgets into categories like basic, manual, and settings. The Camera app will have the same default layout that's available now with quick tap buttons for flash, Live Photos, and Night Mode, but the customizable widget interface will be added as an advanced layout that will appeal to professional users. iPhone users can currently tap on an icon at the top right of the Camera app to access all of the Camera controls, but Apple is moving that view to the right of the shutter button in ‌iOS 27‌. The Camera app is also going to get new grid and level options that will join the existing features. Photos The ‌Photos‌ app will have an Apple Intelligence Tools section when editing an image. According to Bloomberg, there will be new Extend and Reframe options. Extend - Extend generates additional image content beyond the original frame of the photo, filling in scenery when changing the crop of an image. This tool will support expanding the edges of an image with zoom gestures. Reframe - When used with spatial photos, Reframe will let users change the perspective of an image after it's captured. Apple is also testing an AI photo editing feature that lets users request edits using natural language. Users would be able to tweak color, lighting, cropping, and other image parameters without having to use manual tools. The natural-language editing feature may not arrive in the first version of ‌iOS 27‌. Shortcuts The ‌iOS 27‌ Shortcuts app will support using natural language to create a shortcut with AI. Users will be able to tell ‌Siri‌ what they want to accomplish with a multi-step shortcut, and ‌Siri‌ will generate it. The Shortcuts app will open with a prompt that says \"What do you want your shortcut to do?\" with a text field to enter a description. Shortcuts that are created using AI are then automatically installed and immediately available for use. Wallet The Wallet app is getting a \"Create a Pass\" option so users can generate digital passes from scans of physical items like movie tickets, concert passes, and gym membership cards. Users can tap on the \"+\" button in the Wallet app and then scan a QR code on a pass or ticket if one is available. If there is no QR code available, there will be an option to create a custom pass. There are three pass types in Create a Pass, each with a different color. Apple is using purple for events, blue for memberships, and orange for other types of passes. Users can customize images, colors, style, and text on the digital passes. Apple is also adding an AI bill-splitting feature that will work with Apple Cash. iPhone users will be able to take a photo of a receipt and generate Apple Cash payment requests for different people. Image Playground and Genmoji Apple is updating the ‌Image Playground‌ app. The interface for generating a new image has fewer controls and a \"describe a change\" option for editing images that are created. Previously created images are displayed in a grid with more rounded edges, and instead of a New Image button, there's a \"+\" button. Apple has also been testing new models that produce more lifelike images, so we could see new image generation capabilities in ‌iOS 27‌ with better image quality. Genmoji is also getting an update so it will use fewer resources, causing less battery drain and fewer heat problems. ‌Genmoji‌ will be better quality with a new ‌Genmoji‌ model, and a Suggested ‌Genmoji‌ feature will bring up custom emoji ideas based on your media and text history. Writing Tools Apple is testing an expanded version of Writing Tools that will do more rewriting and text generation than the current version. There is a \"Write with ‌Siri‌\" toggle at the top of the keyboard, according to Bloomberg, along with a \"Help Me Write\" option that comes up when ‌Siri‌ is activated while a text field is open. Apple is going to add a dedicated AI grammar checker that will work alongside the current spell check. When writing in Messages, Mail, and other apps there will be a translucent menu that slides up from the bottom of the iPhone's screen, and it will show suggested revisions next to the original written text. Users can go through the suggestions and accept or reject them one by one, approve all of the changes at once, or ignore the changes. Other Features Wallpaper - There will be an option to generate custom wallpapers with the ‌Image Playground‌ app, with the feature built into the interface for selecting a new wallpaper. Safari - Safari will get an updated start page with four tabs for switching between favorites, bookmarks, Reading List, and history. Calendar - Rumors suggest the Calendar app will incorporate new AI features. ‌Siri‌ will also be able to draw on information in the app. Health - With a new calorie scanning feature coming to the Camera app, calorie tracking will be more prominent in the Health app. Apple was also planning a Health+ subscription service, and while that's been scaled back, there could be other AI health app changes. Weather - The Weather app will have a new Conditions panel for switching between temperature, rain, and wind from the main interface, without the need to tap into a weather module. AirPods settings - The AirPods interface in the Settings app will be simplified, with options featuring better organization. Major features like hearing health will be easier to find. AirPlay Alternatives - Apple is adding a feature that will let users beam content to AirPlay alternatives like Google Cast. It could be limited to iPhone users in the EU because it is being implemented as a Digital Markets Act requirement. iOS 27 System-Wide Design Changes There are system-wide design changes coming in ‌iOS 27‌. The separate tab bar in apps like Apple Music, Podcasts, News, and ‌Apple TV‌ will be adjusted to combine search with the other navigation options. Apple separated search in many apps when introducing Liquid Glass, but it's reverting to the original look. When using the on-screen keyboard, there's a new animation that shows the keys sliding up from the bottom of the iPhone interface, and Apple is adding redo and undo controls for easier customization of the ‌Home Screen‌'s icon and widget layouts. Apple doesn't plan to make major changes to the Liquid Glass aesthetic in ‌iOS 27‌, but the company is mulling a system-wide setting that would precisely adjust the look of the interface. In iOS 26.2, Apple added a slider that lets users adjust the opacity of Liquid Glass for the Lock Screen's clock, and that setting could be expanded to the entire operating system. iOS 27 Updates for Foldable iPhone The first foldable iPhone will be introduced in September. Rumors suggest that it will feature a 5.5-inch display when folded, and a 7.8-inch display when it's opened up like a book. An iPhone with a larger display will require major updates to iOS, and ‌iOS 27‌ will focus on building new interfaces and experiences made for a larger smartphone display. The iPhone Fold will operate like a cross between an iPhone and an iPad, but it will run iOS, not iPadOS, and it won't support ‌iPad‌ apps. When unfolded, the iPhone will have an iPad-like layout that supports multitasking with two apps side-by-side. Many of Apple's iPhone apps will have sidebars on the left of the display, with Apple providing developers with tools to easily adapt their apps to the new layout. Apple is using a wider design for the ‌iPhone Fold‌ than most foldable smartphone makers have used, and it is rumored to have an iPad-like 4:3 aspect ratio. When the iPhone is closed, it will have a standard iPhone layout that looks like the version of iOS we have now. iOS 27 Satellite Features Apple is working on several new satellite features for the iPhone, and it's possible some features could be introduced as soon as 2027. Apple Maps via satellite ‌Photos‌ in Messages via satellite Satellite API framework for third-party apps Satellite over 5G Satellite connectivity without the need for a view of the sky iOS 27 Accessibility Updates Each May, Apple previews new accessibility features that are coming later in the year. This year, Apple showed off some new options that are expected in the ‌iOS 27‌ update. Apple is adding new ‌Apple Intelligence‌ features to VoiceOver, Magnifier, Voice Control, and Accessibility Reader. VoiceOver Image Explorer uses ‌Apple Intelligence‌ for detailed descriptions of images throughout the system, including photographs, scanned bills, and personal records. Users can press the Action button on the iPhone to ask questions about what the camera viewfinder sees, with follow-up questions supported in natural language. Magnifier brings Apple Intelligence-powered visual descriptions to its high-contrast interface for users with low vision, with support for spoken commands like \"zoom in\" or \"turn on flashlight.\" Voice Control gains natural language input so users can describe onscreen elements conversationally, such as \"tap the guide about best restaurants\" or \"tap the purple folder,\" rather than memorizing exact label names or numbers. Apple says the feature can also help when users want to access on-screen elements that don't have clear accessibility labels. Accessibility Reader gains support for more complex document layouts including scientific articles with multiple columns, images, and tables, plus on-demand summaries and built-in translation that retains a user's custom font, color, and formatting preferences. Generated Subtitles use on-device speech recognition to automatically transcribe spoken audio in uncaptioned video content, including clips recorded on iPhone, received from friends and family, or streamed online, across the iPhone, ‌iPad‌, Mac, ‌Apple TV‌, and Apple Vision Pro. The feature will be available in English in the U.S. and Canada at launch. iOS 27 Performance and Stability Bloomberg has described iOS 27 as a \"Snow Leopard\" update, suggesting that Apple will focus on improving underlying performance and quality. Apple is prioritizing cleaning up the iOS code and removing anything that's outdated, which could mean upgrading apps to improve performance and rewriting some existing features to be more efficient. The code updates could provide a more responsive, faster version of iOS. Apple is also aiming for efficiency improvements that could translate into tangible battery life gains. iOS 27 Compatibility ‌iOS 27‌ is expected to drop support for the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, and second-generation iPhone SE. It will be available on all other iPhones that support ‌iOS 26‌. iPadOS 27 Many of the features that are coming in ‌iOS 27‌ will also extend to the ‌iPad‌, including all of the new ‌Siri‌ capabilities. We haven't heard rumors of iPad-specific features as of yet. macOS 27 Like ‌iOS 27‌ and iPadOS 27, ‌macOS 27‌ will adopt the new version of ‌Siri‌ with chatbot capabilities, personal context and the ability to access data on your Mac, and improved integration in and between apps. A standalone ‌Siri‌ app for the Mac is likely. We've heard a lot about what ‌Siri‌ will look like on the iPhone, with it set to be integrated into the ‌Dynamic Island‌, but no detail on how ‌Siri‌ will look on the Mac. The ‌Siri‌ Mac interface will be more of a surprise. The ‌Photos‌ app feature for AI reframing and extending an image will be available, as will the text-based option to create a Shortcut with natural language commands. Grammar checking capabilities will be added to Writing Tools, and ‌Image Playground‌ and ‌Genmoji‌ will see improvements to the underlying models. Apple is experimenting with more realistic models, so ‌Image Playground‌ might be able to generate content that's not so cartoonish. Safari is expected to have a new feature that uses AI to automatically group tabs that are similar to one another, expanding on the tab groups feature. In ‌iOS 27‌, we're getting some minor tweaks to Liquid Glass, including tab bars that do away with the standalone search option and possibly a slider for adjusting the overall look of Liquid Glass, but we know less about what to expect for Liquid Glass on the Mac. There has been criticism of the Mac's Liquid Glass interface in particular, so Apple could have changes planned. Bloomberg claims Apple is working on a \"slight redesign\" for ‌macOS 27‌, with plans to address \"quirks\" with shadows and transparency. Apple is working on an OLED MacBook Pro with a touchscreen, so there could be new touch-based interface options hidden in ‌macOS 27‌. The OLED ‌MacBook Pro‌ likely isn't launching until early 2027, so it's not something we're expecting to see in the launch version of ‌macOS 27‌. macOS Naming We don't know what Apple is going to call ‌macOS 27‌, but it will likely continue to have a California landmark name. The filename of Apple's hashmoji for WWDC 2026 on X is \"Project Big Bear,\" leading to speculation that Apple might go with macOS Big Bear. The filename could be unrelated to ‌macOS 27‌, and it's possible Apple will choose something else entirely. Apple has trademarked multiple California-themed names in the past, including Diablo, Grizzly, Mammoth, Miramar, Pacific, Redtail, Redwood, Shasta, Skyline, and Tiburon. Performance Improvements Apple has been working on refinements to macOS that will include bug fixes, performance improvements, and tweaks to boost battery life. No More Intel Macs Apple is dropping support for Intel Macs with ‌macOS 27‌, so if you have an Intel Mac, it's not going to be able to run the new Mac software. macOS Tahoe is the last version of macOS that will work on Intel Macs. Apple is also phasing out Rosetta 2 support, and ‌macOS 27‌ will be the last version of macOS that includes it. Rosetta 2 lets Apple silicon Macs run apps built for Intel Macs, so older apps that still have the outdated architecture will no longer work in macOS 28. Current Intel Macs that run ‌macOS Tahoe‌ but won't run ‌macOS 27‌ include the 13-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌ from 2020, the 16-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌ from 2019, the 27-inch iMac from 2020, and the 2019 Mac Pro. watchOS 27 In watchOS 27, Apple plans to introduce new watch faces, including a variant of the Modular Ultra face. The new watch face will have a large time readout with three complications, and it will be available for all Apple Watch models. We haven't heard anything else about new watchOS 27 features, and Apple Watch software updates tend to be on the smaller side. With Apple planning to add an option for generating a wallpaper using AI on the iPhone, it's possible there could be some Apple Watch equivalent feature. Some of the new ‌Siri‌ features could work on the watch, and some of the AI features might transition, like grammar correction when writing or dictating on the watch. tvOS 27 We haven't heard anything about tvOS 27, and ‌Apple TV‌ updates are usually not super exciting. With the ‌Apple TV‌ expected to be refreshed with a chip that works with ‌Apple Intelligence‌ later this year, we could see Apple introduce some AI features for the ‌Apple TV‌. Better TV and movie recommendations are a possibility, as is a more capable ‌Siri‌ that is better at handling requests. There could also be new smart home integrations that will work alongside a centralized smart home hub Apple is rumored to be launching this year. One feature we do know about is larger text, which is an Accessibility option Apple is adding. visionOS 27 visionOS 27 will apparently be \"light on new features,\" but it could get the same AI app updates and ‌Siri‌ changes that are coming to Apple's other platforms. New Hardware? There are several products that Apple is still expected to launch in 2026, but it's not looking like any of them are going to be unveiled at WWDC. With several new software updates to cover and an all-new version of ‌Siri‌, Apple may not want to take the focus away from its software announcements. We are expecting M5 Mac Studio and Mac mini updates at some point, plus there could be a new ‌iMac‌. Unfortunately, high RAM costs and chip shortages mean delayed Mac refreshes, and new models aren't expected until later in the year. The low-cost ‌iPad‌ still hasn't been refreshed, and updates for the HomePod mini and ‌Apple TV‌ are apparently ready to go. There's also a new smart home hub tied to the new version of ‌Siri‌, but it's not likely to come out until ‌Siri‌ sees an official launch in the fall. How to Watch ‌WWDC 2026‌ begins at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time on June 8. Apple plans to stream the WWDC keynote on YouTube, the ‌Apple TV‌ app everywhere it's available, and the Apple Events website. For those who are unable to watch the livestream, we'll have live coverage at MacRumors.com and the MacRumorsLive X (Twitter) account. Launch Timeline Betas of ‌iOS 27‌, iPadOS 27, ‌macOS 27‌, tvOS 27, watchOS 27, and visionOS 27 will be seeded to developers after Apple's keynote event. Public betas will come out in July, and after several months of testing, the updates will launch to the public in the fall.Related Roundups: iOS 27, macOS 27, WWDC 2026Tag: SiriRelated Forum: Apple, Inc and Tech Industry This article, \"What to Expect From WWDC 2026: Gemini-Powered Siri, iOS 27, macOS 27 and More\" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums"}, {"published": "2026-06-05 19:38", "relative_age": "2 d", "source": "MacRumors", "category": "tech", "title": "Chrome Sets Browser Speed Records on M5 MacBook Pro", "link": "https://www.macrumors.com/2026/06/05/chrome-browser-speed-record-2026/", "topic_tag": "browser", "cves": [], "vendor": "", "cvss": null, "risk_level": "low", "item_type": "misc", "summary": "Google's Chrome browser hit new records on browser benchmarking tools Speedometer 3.1 and JetStream 3, Google said today.

Subscribe to The MacRumors Show YouTube channel for more videos The event's tagline, \"All Systems Glow,\" is widely seen as a hint at Siri's new design. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has reported that Apple is rebuilding ‌Siri‌ as a full chatbot to compete with ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, complete with a dedicated app, Dynamic Island integration, and a new system-wide search interface wrapped in a dark, glowing aesthetic that matches the WWDC branding. The dedicated Siri app for back-and-forth conversations is said to be modeled on iMessage, with voice input and the ability to attach images and documents. Users will reportedly be able to set conversation history to auto-delete after 30 days, one year, or never. A new system-wide interface called \"Search or Ask\" purportedly replaces ‌Siri‌ Suggestions entirely, triggered by swiping down from the top center of the screen. From there, users can launch apps, start texts, set reminders, trigger Shortcuts, or query Apple's new AI web search, which Gurman says Apple is positioning as a Perplexity competitor. Results apparently appear as a translucent card in the ‌Dynamic Island‌, and swiping further opens the full ‌Siri‌ app. Notification Center moves to a top-left swipe, while Control Center stays top-right. The new Siri will reportedly be able to answer multi-part questions, maintain conversational context, summarize uploaded documents, generate images, and draw on personal data across first-party apps like Mail, Messages, Photos, Notes, Contacts, Calendar, and Reminders. Apple is powering its new AI features with a custom model based on Google's Gemini, after its own models reportedly fell short. Gurman says the personalized ‌Siri‌ still carries a \"beta\" label in internal builds, and there is a \"strong chance\" it ships that way. iOS 27 will also purportedly introduce an \"Extensions\" feature letting users choose which AI service powers ‌Siri‌, with a dedicated App Store section for third-party integrations. Users will reportedly be able to set ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and others as the default for Writing Tools, Image Playground, and more, with third-party responses using a distinct voice so users can tell which is speaking. Apple has also reportedly held talks with developers about deeper agentic integrations, and is said to be replacing Core ML with a new Core AI framework. Apple is reportedly giving the Camera app a major overhaul, moving Visual Intelligence from the Camera Control button into a dedicated Siri mode inside the app. Apple is also purportedly making the interface fully customizable via a widget tray, letting users arrange controls like flash, exposure, timer, and depth of field. ‌Visual Intelligence‌ will allegedly also gain the ability to scan nutrition labels for Health app tracking and read contact details from business cards. ‌Photos‌ is said to be getting three new AI editing tools alongside the existing Clean Up feature. \"Extend\" generates content beyond the original frame, \"Reframe\" changes the perspective of spatial photos, and \"Enhance\" applies automatic color and lighting adjustments. Writing Tools are reportedly getting a grammar checker with per-suggestion accept and reject controls, and keyboard autocorrect is said to be gaining Grammarly-style alternative word suggestions. Apple is reportedly redesigning Image Playground with a simpler interface and new models producing more lifelike images. Genmoji is allegedly getting a new model that improves quality and reduces battery drain, with a Suggested ‌Genmoji‌ feature drawing on the user's media and messages. AI-generated wallpapers are also reportedly coming, with ‌Image Playground‌ built into the wallpaper picker. The Wallet app is purportedly gaining a \"Create a Pass\" feature for digitizing physical tickets and membership cards, and Apple Cash is reportedly getting a bill-splitting feature that lets users photograph a receipt, assign items to individuals, and send payment requests via Wallet or Messages. Shortcuts is said to be getting a natural language interface for building automations by description. Other notable changes include a system-wide Liquid Glass opacity slider that Apple apparently couldn't get working in iOS 26, the option to beam content to AirPlay alternatives like Google Cast (reportedly EU-only as a DMA requirement), and expanded satellite features including Apple Maps and photo sharing over satellite. Apple also previewed a wide range of accessibility improvements ahead of WWDC, including AI-powered descriptions in VoiceOver and Magnifier, an upgraded Accessibility Reader for complex document layouts, automatic video captions generated on-device, and a new FaceTime API for live sign language interpretation. For visionOS, Apple is adding Power Wheelchair Control using Vision Pro's eye-tracking, Vehicle Motion Cues for users in moving vehicles, and face gesture support for system actions. Leaker \"Instant Digital\" claims ‌iOS 27‌ will drop support for the iPhone 11 lineup and second-generation iPhone SE, requiring at least an iPhone 12, with Apple Intelligence continuing to require an iPhone 15 Pro or newer. macOS 27 is said to share the same ‌Siri‌ and ‌Apple Intelligence‌ upgrades, with refinements to Liquid Glass and the same performance focus. It will reportedly be Apple silicon only, dropping all remaining Intel Macs, and is said to be the last release to include full Rosetta support. Gurman described ‌iOS 27‌ overall as a \"Snow Leopard\" update, with Apple prioritizing stability, code cleanup, and battery life gains alongside the new features. The keynote begins June 8 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time, with developer betas expected the same day and a public release in September.

I reviewed the larger $500 20-port TS5 Plus last summer, and for the last couple of weeks, I've been testing the $400 15-port TS5 that launched a bit later than the premium model, and the smaller $250 Element 5 Hub. TS5 The TS5 is probably the Thunderbolt 5 dock that I would recommend if someone on the street came up to me and asked which Thunderbolt 5 dock to buy. It's smaller and takes up less space on a desk than the TS5 Plus, it has no fans like some competing docks, and it has a useful port selection. With some exceptions, it'll meet the needs of most people. Thunderbolt 5 docks are ideal for Apple's Thunderbolt 5 Macs (the M4 Pro, M4 Max, M5 Pro, and M5 Max), but they're also backwards compatible with Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 Macs, so you can use the TS5 with almost any Mac to add ports for displays and accessories. Ports on the front: Audio jack USB-C with 10Gb/s speeds and 7.5W USB-C with 10Gb/s speeds and 20W MicroSD card slot (UHS-II) SD card slot (UHS-II) Ports on the back: Audio in/out USB-C port with 10Gb/s speeds and 7.5W USB-A port with 10Gb/s speeds and 7.5W USB-A port with 480Mb/s speeds and 7.5W 2.5 GbE Three downstream Thunderbolt 5 ports with 15W charging One upstream Thunderbolt 5 port with 140W charging The TS5 does not have dual USB controllers like the TS5 Plus, it has 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet instead of 10GbE, it doesn't have DisplayPort, and it has three fewer USB-A ports and two fewer USB-C ports than the TS5 Plus. The TS5 has three downstream Thunderbolt 5 ports instead of two, so it beats the TS5 Plus (which only has two), but the higher-end TS5 Plus has more charging power. The front USB-C port on the TS5 Plus is 36W, as are the two downstream Thunderbolt 5 ports at the back. The TS5 has the same general design that CalDigit has used for its last several docks. It's made from a space gray aluminum material with ribbing on the top and sides for dissipating heat. Though it has no fan, it never got beyond lukewarm in my testing, and I was surprised at how cool it stayed. The TS5 Plus ran much warmer when I tested it, but the smaller TS5 wouldn't keep me cozy on a freezing night. The dock's design blends in well with a desk setup, but like most Thunderbolt 5 docks, it's not going to turn any heads. I don't have space gray equipment so the color doesn't match my MacBook or my Studio Display, but it doesn't look too out of place. I wish accessory makers would adopt bolder, brighter colors, but I'm guessing gray and black are what sell. CalDigit's TS5 dock is about 5.5 inches tall, 4.5 inches wide, and a little under two inches thick. It fits well under a display, and it can be positioned either upright or on its side. There is a separate 240W power brick, and that's typical for most Thunderbolt 5 docks. Along with the power supply, CalDigit includes a braided 1-meter Thunderbolt 5 cable, and I appreciate the cable upgrade because not all docks come with nice cables. One thing I appreciate about CalDigit over some other dock makers is the info the website provides. I think the average person probably finds hubs and docks somewhat confusing, especially when it comes to determining which displays and how many external displays a dock supports with a given Mac. CalDigit has an extensive chart with all Apple silicon Macs listed, so it's fairly easy to see what your Mac will support. Thunderbolt 5 supports up to 80Gb/s speeds with bandwidth boost up to 120Gb/s for displays, twice that of Thunderbolt 4. The TS5 supports up to four 6K 60Hz displays, but only if you're using a Mac with an M5 Max chip. It'll also run dual 8K 60Hz displays, dual 4K 240Hz displays, or four 4K displays with up to a 144Hz refresh rate. When used with an M5 Pro Mac, the dock supports up to three 6K 60Hz displays, and for Macs with earlier Pro/Max chips, the dock is limited to dual displays. You can power dual 8K 60Hz displays using the TS5 with an M4 Max or M5 Max Mac, while other machines cap out with two 6K 60Hz displays. The base M-series chips have different support depending on generation too. The M4 and M5 chips can support two external displays up to 6K at 60Hz with the TS5, but M1 and M2 chips only support one. The M3 is a special exception because it supports two displays when the Mac is in clamshell mode, or one with the display open. I tested with a ‌Studio Display‌ and a ‌Studio Display‌ XDR, both of which are 5K displays. I also tested with a ‌Studio Display‌ and a 32-inch 120Hz OLED display, and I didn't run into any issues with either setup. There is one 5K display limitation that potential buyers should be aware of, and that's support for the LG UltraFine 5K monitors. The dock does not support dual LG UltraFine 5K displays unless used with an M5 Max MacBook Pro. I used every port at once and performance was as expected, but I did run into an issue with the TS5 not recognizing SSDs. SSDs that I plugged into the two USB-C ports weren't popping up, but a Thunderbolt 5 SSD was fine. Unplugging the dock and plugging it in again didn't work, but restarting my Mac did. I've had the same problem intermittently, but after the first time, unplugging the dock and then plugging it back in seemed to work. It doesn't happen every time, but losing SSD connectivity through the USB-C ports is a hassle. The TS5 has 140W host charging, which is more than enough for all of Apple's notebooks. The Thunderbolt 5 ports and the 10Gb/s USB-C and USB-A ports have offline charging so you can charge accessories with the dock when your Mac isn't connected. Element 5 Hub I also spent a short amount of time with CalDigit's $250 Element 5 Hub, which is an impressive little device. It's as small as the 180W power brick it comes with, and it's the Thunderbolt 5 option to get if you need minimal ports. The Element 5 Hub has four Thunderbolt 5 ports (one upstream, three downstream), two USB-C ports, and three USB-A ports. 90W host charging is available for a connected Mac, which is enough to keep my 16-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌ charged. The downstream Thunderbolt 5 ports have 15W for accessories, and the USB-C ports offer 7.5W. Like the TS5, the ports work even when the hub isn't connected to a host computer. Since there are three Thunderbolt 5 ports, the Element 5 Hub can drive the same number of displays as the TS5. It doesn't have as many USB-C ports, no SD card slots, and no audio jack, but if all you need is Thunderbolt and a couple of USB-C/USB-A ports, this is the way to go. I love how little space the Element 5 takes up on my desk, so much so that I may adopt one for long-term use. I do use SD card slots, but the smaller size may be worth the sacrifice. The Element 5 is 2.75 inches wide, 4.5 inches long, and an inch thick. It's about the same size as my Thunderbolt 5 SSD, and smaller than an iPhone. If you want compact, get this dock. Bottom Line I prefer the TS5 over the TS5 Plus because of the extra Thunderbolt 5 port on the TS5. I can connect two displays and still have a port for a Thunderbolt 5 SSD, which isn't the case with the TS5 Plus. Unfortunately, I'm continually running into problem where SSDs connected to the USB-C ports on the dock don't work, and that makes it hard to recommend to someone who needs to use it for storage purposes. I can just restart the dock, but I shouldn't have to. TB5 SSDs are fine, so are USB-C SSDs connected through a Thunderbolt port. CalDigit's more expensive TS5 Plus is a better option than the TS5 if you need DisplayPort 2.1, 10GbE, or an absurd number of USB-A ports (five for the TS5 Plus vs two for the TS5). The TS5 Plus also has dual 10Gb/s USB controllers, which is useful if you want to run multiple high-speed SSDs or drives at the same time. If you only need a limited number of ports, I'd definitely recommend checking out the Element 5 Hub. It's compact, but still includes four Thunderbolt 5 ports, three USB-A ports, and two USB-C ports. I didn't seem to have the same SSD problem with the TS5 Plus or the Element 5. I like CalDigit's Thunderbolt 5 docks over competing docks from Anker and Satechi, mainly because CalDigit doesn't include fans and its docks operate silently. The SSD problem might be my particular dock or my ‌MacBook Pro‌, but if you pick up a TS5, get it from a place with a return policy just in case. I like all of the docks I've tried so far, though, and they've all been good options with no major problems. I'd pick Anker's Prime Thunderbolt 5 dock if I wanted a dock with no external power supply, or Satechi's CubeDock if I wanted a built-in SSD or had a Mac mini and wanted to match it. Thunderbolt 4 docks are cheaper than Thunderbolt 5 options, but if you have a Thunderbolt 5 Mac or are planning to get one in the next year or two, it's worth going for Thunderbolt 5 for the upgraded bandwidth. How to Buy The CalDigit TS5 can be purchased from the CalDigit website or from Amazon for $400. The Element 5 Hub is available from the CalDigit website or from Amazon for $250. Note: CalDigit provided MacRumors with a TS5 and Element 5 Hub for the purpose of this review. No other compensation was received.Tag: CalDigit This article, \"CalDigit TS5 and Element 5 Hub Review: Two Thunderbolt 5 Docks for Apple's Latest Macs\" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums"}, {"published": "2026-06-05 17:24", "relative_age": "2 d", "source": "MacRumors", "category": "tech", "title": "Foldable iPhone May Not Come in Black, Leaker Suggests", "link": "https://www.macrumors.com/2026/06/05/foldable-iphone-may-not-come-in-black/", "topic_tag": "black", "cves": [], "vendor": "", "cvss": null, "risk_level": "low", "item_type": "misc", "summary": "Apple has yet to finalize whether its upcoming foldable iPhone will be available in black, according to a questionable new rumor. The Weibo leaker known as \"Instant Digital\" commented today that Apple \"hasn't even decided yet whether the foldable screen will come in black,\" adding pointedly: \"Do they have a vendetta against the color black?\" The remark suggests black is at least under consideration, but has not been confirmed as part of the lineup, a notably open question for a device that is expected to enter mass production imminently and launch as soon as September. In February, the leaker described the device as coming in just two color options, with white as the only confirmed shade and the second unspecified. Instant Digital revisited that report in May without walking back any color details, keeping the two-option account intact. Today's comment does not necessarily contradict that, but introduces new uncertainty about what the second option actually is. Separately, Macworld cited a supply chain source claiming the second finish will be an indigo option similar to the iPhone 17 Pro's Deep Blue, alongside a classic silver and white model. That source also said the device will offer fewer choices than the iPhone 18 Pro models, with no bold or vibrant colors. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman similarly reported that Apple plans to \"stay away from fun colors\" and stick to more traditional silver/white and space gray/black finishes. Samsung Display's OLED panels for the device are already entering mass production, and ramp-up is underway. Color decisions typically feed directly into manufacturing and component procurement, all of which needs to be locked well in advance of launch. For a device as complex and supply-constrained as the foldable iPhone is expected to be, any severe late-stage indecision seems unlikely, so the rumor may simply indicate some opaqueness in the supply chain about the second color. That being said, dummy models that have surfaced so far have only been seen in white. It is also worth noting that new high-end products such as the Apple Watch Ultra and Vision Pro only launched with one color option. A limited color offering may partly reflect the practical realities of manufacturing the device at all. Supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has warned that early-stage yield and ramp-up challenges could constrain supply through at least the end of 2026, and that the frequently cited figure of 15 to 20 million units likely reflects cumulative demand across the product's full two to three year lifecycle, not 2026 alone. Adding color variants increases the number of SKUs to produce, stock, and allocate, which is a complication Apple has little commercial incentive to absorb when launch supply is expected to be tight regardless. The approach would be broadly consistent with how Apple has handled generationally significant launches before. The iPhone X debuted in November 2017 in just two colors, Silver and Space Gray, at a then-record starting price of $999. The iPhone XS that followed a year later added Gold to the lineup, and Apple may take the same incremental approach with the iPhone Ultra over time. At a starting price that Gurman says will \"cross the $2,000 threshold\", the foldable iPhone is unlikely to attract buyers whose purchasing decision is heavily determined by color options. That gives Apple room to keep the initial palette narrow. The first foldable iPhone is expected to be announced in September 2026 alongside the ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ and ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max.Related Roundup: iPhone FoldTags: Foldable iPhone, Instant Digital This article, \"Foldable iPhone May Not Come in Black, Leaker Suggests\" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums"}, {"published": "2026-06-05 16:53", "relative_age": "2 d", "source": "The Hacker News", "category": "security", "title": "Android Spyware Asin Targets Arabic Users via Fake News, PDF and War Map Apps", "link": "https://thehackernews.com/2026/06/android-spyware-asin-targets-arabic.html", "topic_tag": "android", "cves": [], "vendor": "Google", "cvss": null, "risk_level": "low", "item_type": "malware", "summary": "Arabic-speaking users have emerged as the target of a new Android spyware codenamed Asin, according to findings from ESET.

Genre: Tecknat, komedi Se Futurama på Disney Plus Shōgun Shōgun från 2024 är en episk dramaserie som fördjupar sig i intriger, kulturkrockar och maktkamper i det feodala Japan på 1600-talet. Serien handlar om John Blackthorne, en engelsk navigatör som lider skeppsbrott i Japan och blir indragen i det politiska maktspelet mellan olika daimyo (feodalherrar). Han blir en viktig figur för Lord Toranaga, som strävar efter att bli shogun. Serien utforskar Blackthornes anpassning till den japanska kulturen och hur hans närvaro påverkar de intrikata maktkamperna i landet. Serien ger lite “Game of Thrones”-vibbar, men i Japan. Och utan drakar. Genre: Drama Se Shōgun på Disney Plus Sons of Anarchy Sons of Anarchy är en amerikansk kriminaldramaserie skapad som sändes på FX från 2008 till 2014. Serien följer livet för medlemmarna i den fiktiva motorcykelklubben Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Original (SAMCRO), som är baserad i den lilla staden Charming i Kalifornien. Handlingen är intensiv och våldsam, men med komplexa karaktärer. Genre: Drama Se Sons of Anarchy på Disney Plus Reservation Dogs Reservation Dogs följer de fyra tonåringarna Elora Danan (Devery Jacobs), Bear Smallhill (D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai), Willie Jack (Paulina Alexis), och Cheese (Lane Factor). De försöker navigera sina liv i ett litet reservat i Oklahoma samtidigt som de drömmer om att fly till Kalifornien. Serien börjar ett år efter deras vän Daniels död, vilket har lämnat ett djupt intryck på dem och driver deras beslut att lämna reservatet. Gruppen ägnar sig åt småbrott och andra aktiviteter för att samla pengar till deras resa. Under seriens gång möter de olika utmaningar, inklusive rivaliserande gäng, andliga upplevelser, och de vardagliga svårigheterna med att växa upp i ett fattigt reservat. Genre: Komedi Se Reservation Dogs på Disney Plus The Killing Serien följer de två huvudkaraktärerna, kriminalkommissarie Sarah Linden (spelad av Mireille Enos) och hennes kollega Stephen Holder (spelad av Joel Kinnaman), när de utreder mordfall i Seattle, Washington. Handlingen kretsar kring ett specifikt mordfall per säsong, där varje säsong består av flera avsnitt som utforskar olika aspekter av brottsutredningen och det personliga livet hos de inblandade. The Killing har en långsam, intensiv berättarstil med fokus på att utforska karaktärernas djupare psykologiska dimensioner. Genre: Deckare Se The Killing på Disney Plus Snowfall Gatuentreprenören i South Central, Franklin Saint, ger sig in i kokainbranschen. Den missnöjde CIA-agenten Teddy McDonald samarbetar med en soldat från Contras. Luchador-brottaren Gustavo ”El Oso” Zapata tar sig in i en mexikansk kartellfamilj. I Snowfall får vi följa kokainets intåg i USA. Genre: Drama Se Snowfall på Disney Plus The Beatles: Get Back Disney The Beatles: Get Back är en dokumentärserie i tre delar som regisserats av Peter Jackson. Serien visar aldrig tidigare visade scener från The Beatles inspelning av sitt sista album, Let It Be, i januari 1969. Serien ger en unik inblick i bandets kreativa process, personliga relationer, humor och musikaliska geni. Du får också se den legendariska takkonserten, som var bandets sista offentliga framträdande. Dokumentärserien är baserad på över 60 timmar av film och 150 timmar av ljud som restaurerats och förbättrats av Jacksons team. Detta är en måste-se-serie för alla Beatles-fans och musikälskare, med ett imponerande betyg 9 av 10 på IMDB. Genre: Dokumentär Se The Beatles: Get Back på Disney Plus The Bear FX The Bear är en amerikansk komedidramaserie som har Jeremy Allen White i huvudrollen som en ung prisbelönt kock som återvänder till sin hemstad Chicago för att hantera det kaotiska köket i sin döda brors smörgåsbutik. Serien har fått mycket positiv kritik och hyllats för sin skådespelarensemble. Genre: Komedi Se The Bear på Disney Plus Agent Carter Disney/Marvel Denna korta men söta 50-talsserie gick bara i 18 avsnitt under två säsonger, men en mängd djupgående Marvel-referenser och James D’Arcys Edwin Jarvis gör detta till en av MCU:s bästa miniserier hittills. Och med Peggy som får ett nytt liv som kapten Carter i What If…? och Doctor Strange 2, varför inte återbesöka programmet som gjorde henne till en hit? Genre: Action, äventyr Se Agent Carter på Disney Plus Atlanta En serie skapad av Donald Glover, som också spelar huvudrollen. Atlanta handlar om livet hos två kusiner, spelade av Glover och Brian Tyree Henry, som försöker göra sig ett namn inom musikindustrin i Atlanta, Georgia.

Genre: Drama, Komedi Se Atlanta på Disney Plus The Last Man on Earth Ett dödligt virus har slagit ut hela världens befolkning. Phil Miller (spelad av Will Forte, känd från bland annat Saturday Night Live) är den sista människan kvar på jorden. Tror han i alla fall och lever livet därefter: Badar i en margerita-pool, använder swimmingpoolen som toalett och tar över en enorm herrgård där han spelar squash inomhus och hänger upp konst från olika museer han hittat. Men så en dag stöter han på Carol Pilbasian (Kristen Schaal) och allt förändras. Charmig komediserie i fyra säsonger. Tyvärr förnyades den inte, så var beredd på ett ganska abrupt slut på serien. Slutet till trots är serien sevärd. Genre: Komedi Se The Last Man on Earth på Disney Plus It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia Att vara egocentriska, moraliskt fördärvade, lågpresterande individer är ingen konst för Mac, Charlie, Dennis, Frank och Dee, ägarna till den framgångslösa Paddy’s Pub. Vi följer dessa förfallna individer som älskar att smida planer, koka hop intriger och mest av allt frossa i varandras elände. Vare sig det handlar om att svindla välfärdssystemet, utnyttja en överlämnad bebis, låtsas vara handikappad eller ordna falska begravningar. Kan var en de roligaste serierna någonsin. Danny DeVito är för övrigt helt fantastiskt som den skjutglada Frank. Genre: Komedi Se It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia här på Disney Plus The Americans Medan det kalla kriget rasar lever två ryska agenter dubbelliv som ett tvättäkta amerikansk par i USA. Serien har ett par år på nacken och har funnits på andra streaming-tjänster, men om du inte har sett den har du gått miste om timmar av spänning!
