Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram block use of Apple Intelligence

1 week ago | appleinsider.com | William Gallagher

All Meta apps for the iPhone have been updated to take out the option to use the Writing Tools in Apple Intelligence. It's unlikely that Meta will ever reveal the reasons behind its decision — even if it's happy to spill other firms' confidential details — but it is now blocking the use of Writing Tools. It's not clear when the change was made, but at time of writing, Writing Tools are unavailable across Facebook, Threads, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
Processor cost could drive prices of the iPhone 18 range up

1 week ago | appleinsider.com | William Gallagher

A new report claims that the manufacturing cost of the 2nm processor expected in the iPhone 18 range may mean Apple having to raise prices. It's bad enough that tariffs may still force Apple to raise prices, and it's bad enough that the expected iPhone Fold will cost over $2,000. Now a further report backs up previous claims that the whole iPhone 18 range may be costlier than its predecessors.
Next Apple Vision headset may use titanium to cut weight

1 week ago | appleinsider.com | William Gallagher

A new leak claims that Apple's follow up to the Apple Vision Pro will switch from aluminum to titanium to reduce weight, and will come in a black or dark blue color. Following a dubious report that Apple Vision Pro 2 will come out in April 2026, a new leak claims that the next headset may not be called Apple Vision Pro at all. It may instead be just called Apple Vision, or possibly Apple Vision Air.
Every Intel Mac mini is now obsolete or vintage

1 week ago | appleinsider.com | William Gallagher

It's the end of an era as the much-loved 2018 Intel Mac mini has been added to Apple's list of vintage products. It's yet another step heralding the end of support of Intel on Mac. With some exceptions under international law, Apple has long had a specific process for when it deems devices to be first vintage, and then obsolete. What's significant now is that every Intel-based Mac mini has entered the vintage stage, the first time since the move from Intel to Apple Silicon back in 2020.
No, Trump has not raised the China tariff to 245 percent

1 week ago | appleinsider.com | William Gallagher

Despite scaremongering headlines, Trump did not escalate his "reciprocal" China tariff to 245% on Tuesday night. The figure is a reinstatement of previous tariffs that don't apply to Apple or big tech at all. Coming on top of previous escalations and the Apple exemption that Trump says isn't an exemption, it wouldn't have been surprising if the China tariff rose again.
How India's filmmakers are using the iPhone 16 Pro Max

1 week ago | appleinsider.com | Amber Neely

Four Indian filmmakers in the MAMI Select: Filmed on iPhone project explain how the iPhone 16 Pro Max has helped them to create their short films. The Mumbai Academy of the Moving Image (MAMI) Select: Shot on iPhone is an initiative that empowers filmmakers to "push the boundaries of technology and innovation in film." The program is in its second year.
Apple offering in-store recycling promotion

1 week ago | appleinsider.com | Amber Neely

Apple will soon encourage customers to bring their old gear in to an Apple Store that wouldn't qualify for store credit to get a discount on AirPods, AirTags, and more. It's spring, which means it's time to declutter our homes and discard unwanted items. Apple thinks so, too, and is planning a promotion to help you turn your old and unwanted Apple tech into credit for new Apple accessories.
US launches semiconductor probe to explain away tariff exemptions

1 week ago | appleinsider.com | William Gallagher

To somehow support claims that the tariff exemption is not an exemption at all, the White House has announced an investigation into the entire semiconductor market segment. On April 2, 2025, Trump announced his "Liberation Day" slew of tariffs for which there would be no exemptions. On April 9, he granted Apple an exemption. But following the worldwide recognition that this was an exemption, over the weekend of April 10 and 11, Trump proclaimed that it was nothing of the sort.
On-device Apple Intelligence training methods seem to be based on a controversial technology

1 week ago | appleinsider.com | Wesley Hilliard

On Monday, Apple shared its plans to allow users to opt into on-device Apple Intelligence training using Differential Privacy techniques that are incredibly similar to its failed CSAM detection system. Differential Privacy is a concept Apple embraced openly in 2016 with iOS 10. It is a privacy-preserving method of data collection that introduces noise to sample data to prevent the data collectors from figuring out where the data came from.
Apple rebrands its advertising business as 'Apple Ads'

1 week ago | appleinsider.com | Amber Neely

As Apple expands its advertising business, the company has renamed its former "Apple Search Ads" to "Apple Ads," reflecting the expansion of ad placement. Previously, when a business bought ads on the App Store, they would be suggested at the top of the search screen. In 2022, Apple began expanding its advertising practices adding slots in the Today tab and in the "You Might Also Like" slot below individual app listings. The name change now more accurately reflects the services it offers.
