Attachment 12 of the Apple Developer Program License Agreement has been revised to specify terms for iOS apps in Brazil, including alternative distribution, alternative payments and out-of-app offers, and the Core Technology Commission.

Please review the changes and sign in to your account to accept the updated terms.

Translations of the updated agreement will be available on the Apple Developer website within one month.

As part of a recent agreement with Brazil’s competition regulator CADE (Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica), Apple is introducing changes to iOS that create new options for developers' apps in Brazil.

Beginning with iOS 26.5, developers can distribute apps on alternative app marketplaces, operate alternative app marketplaces, process app payments for digital goods and services outside of Apple In-App Purchase in iOS, and more.

The new options for downloading apps from alternative app marketplaces and making app payments open new avenues for malware, fraud, scams, and privacy and security risks.

Those protections include Notarization for iOS apps, an authorization process for app ma…

Later this summer, Apple will unify the email domains used by Sign in with Apple and iCloud+ Hide My Email under a single, shared domain: private.icloud.com.

For example:Sign in with Apple addresses, previously issued on privaterelay.appleid.com , will be issued on private.icloud.com .

iCloud+ Hide My Email addresses, previously issued on icloud.com , will be issued on private.icloud.com .

Email service providers should update any domain-based filtering, suppression lists, or routing rules that explicitly enumerate relay domains so that the new private.icloud.com domain is included.

When we introduced the Image Playground framework, we included the ImageCreator class as a way for apps to generate images programmatically using the on-device image generation model.

Apps using ImageCreator will not function in TestFlight builds and will cause a runtime error.

New Time Allowances in iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27, or later, give parents more flexible ways to manage the time their kids spend in apps across categories, including Entertainment, Games, and Social Media.

Time Allowances are developed based on expert research and tailored to a child’s age to give parents a helpful starting point.

Entertainment and GamesYour app or game will appear in a Time Allowance category based on the information you provide in App Store Connect.

Starting July 2026, the age rating questionnaire will be updated to let you indicate whether your app or game includes social media capabilities.

If you select this option, your overall responses in the age rating questio…

The Apple Developer Program License Agreement and App Review Guidelines have been revised to support new features, updated policies, and to provide clarification.

Please review the changes below and sign in to your account to accept the updated terms.

Apple Developer Program License AgreementSections 3.1, 14.8: Specified requirements for providing information and responding to questions about developer identity, including in the context of export compliance.

Definitions, Section 3.3.3(Q): Specified requirements for use of the Suggested Actions API.

Section 3.2(h): Updated terms for use of and access to Apple models.

Due to a recent court ruling lifting an injunction on Texas law SB 2420, new Apple Accounts in Texas are now subject to the law, which introduced age assurance requirements for app marketplaces and developers.

Parents or guardians will also be able to revoke their consent for any app they previously approved for their child.

Developers can request age category data for these Apple Accounts through the Declared Age Range API.

For significant changes, developers should use the Significant Change API under the PermissionKit framework.

Welcome to “What’s new in Swift,” a curated digest of releases, videos, and discussions in the Swift project and community.

This year we also introduced workshops, including “Inclusive by Design” by Danielle Lewis, and for the Swift community: “Write Faster, Smarter Swift” by Paul Hudson.

What’s new in Swift featured changes in Swift since last year, including a preview of what’s coming in Swift 6.4, like up to 4x faster URL parsing and support for async code in defer blocks.

A new Swift package, Foundation Models framework utilities, was released with tools for working with LLMs, including custom skills and context management helpers.

Dave Lester is a Senior Product Manager at Apple and member of the Swift website workgroup.

Since its launch, Swift Package Index has become an essential part of the Swift ecosystem, helping developers discover quality packages, evaluate compatibility, and make informed decisions about dependencies.

Recently, Swift Package Index has grown alongside the Swift project’s multi-platform expansion, extending its compatibility testing to encompass Linux, Android, and WebAssembly.

Today, Swift Package Index announced that it has joined Apple and continues its mission:Together, we’re building a comprehensive package registry to serve the Swift community’s evolving needs.

Font parsers process data from untrusted sources, making the TrueType hinting interpreter a security-critical attack surface.

In addition to memory safety, we also improved performance: on average, our Swift interpreter runs 13% faster than the C interpreter it replaced.

To accompany this post, we’ve also published the source code of the Swift TrueType hinting interpreter.

On average, the Swift interpreter runs 13% faster than the C interpreter it replaced.

To accompany this post, we’ve published the source code for the Swift TrueType hinting interpreter on GitHub.

The Swift Ecosystem Steering Group is excited to announce the creation of the Networking workgroup!

The primary goal is to guide the evolution of networking libraries, protocols, and APIs in the Swift ecosystem, making networking in Swift excellent everywhere: high-level and safe by default, modular and interoperable, cross-platform, and observable.

The new Networking workgroup joins a growing list of Swift workgroups, including the Android workgroup, Windows workgroup, and Build and Packaging workgroup, which were all added in the past year.

Learn more about the Networking workgroup by reading its charter.

To start, we’re focusing on some of the many local meetup groups sharing Swift content:Around the world, local meetup groups and conferences bring Swift developers together, and some even predate Swift itself!

In May the SF Swift meetup hosted a talk by Dan Federman, Agentify Your Swift Repo, which covers building an agent for CI and review feedback.

I encourage more folks to get involved in their local Swift meetup.

Sébastien Stormacq shares a great introduction to what’s possible with AWS Lambda and Swift, presenting Swift, Server-side, & Serverless on the DevStandup YouTube channel.

Swift EvolutionThe Swift project adds new language features through the Swift Evolution process.

Yuta Saito is a Software Engineer at Goodnotes, working on WebAssembly platform support in Swift.

This isn’t because we carefully reimplemented the same algorithms twice: it’s because it’s literally the same Swift code running on both platforms.

Welcome to “What’s new in Swift,” a curated digest of releases, videos, and discussions in the Swift project and community.

If you’re building server-side Swift and need a fast key-value store, add valkey-swift via Swift Package Manager, and you’re ready to go.

swift-tar is a pure Swift library for reading, writing, and extracting TAR archives.

Swift EvolutionThe Swift project adds new language features through the Swift Evolution process.

However, shipping in an external package means the standard library, Swift runtime, and toolchain libraries such as Foundation cannot depend on it.

You can now write Swift in a broader range of popular IDEs, including Cursor, VSCodium, AWS’s Kiro, and Google’s Antigravity.

By leveraging VS Code extension compatibility, these editors tap directly into the Open VSX Registry, where the official Swift extension is now live.

This milestone brings Swift support, including code completion, refactoring, full debugging support, a test explorer, as well as DocC support, to a broader ecosystem of compatible editors and allows agentic IDEs like Cursor and Antigravity to automatically install Swift, with no manual download required.

Welcome to “What’s new in Swift,” a curated digest of releases, videos, and discussions in the Swift project and community.

Last year we shared our goal to bring Swift Build to Swift Package Manager, in an effort to deduplicate build technologies within the Swift ecosystem and deliver a consistent build experience across all platforms that Swift supports.

Most recently, the main branch of Swift started using Swift Build as its default build system, paving the way for Swift Build to be the out-of-the-box option for Swift developers in a future Swift release.

For a full list of language evolution proposals in Swift 6.3, see the Swift Evolution dashboard.

The list of Swift Testing evolution proposals included in Swift 6.3 are ST-0012, ST-0013, ST-0014, ST-0015, ST-0016, ST-0017, and ST-0020.

For a detailed look at what’s new in embedded Swift, see Embedded Swift Improvements coming in Swift 6.3.

With this SDK, you can start developing native Android programs in Swift, update your Swift packages to support building for Android, and use Swift Java and Swift Java JNI Core to integrate Swift code into existing Android applications written in Kotlin/Java.

You can find instructions for installing a Swift 6.3 toolchain on the Install Swift page.

TelemetryDeck is an app analytics service specifically for developers, designed to manage usage analytics that are anonymized, privacy-focused, and really easy to use.

Adopting Swift for backend servicesTelemetryDeck is built on Vapor, a web framework written in Swift, for building scalable APIs and services.

Under the hood, a Swift Vapor project is just a Swift Package with some dependencies.

Your Swift Vapor service is almost never the bottleneck.

Although profiling Swift code is easy, most slowdowns in a web service will arise from a combination of database, storage, and traffic load.

Welcome to this edition of “What’s New in Swift,” where we share interesting projects and updates in the Swift community that deserve visibility to a broader audience.

👋 I help grow and support the Swift open source community, and one of my favorite things has been increasing Swift’s participation in open source events.

FOSDEM may be over (for now), but I’m already excited about how the Swift community will show up next year!

Vladimir Kukushkin works on foundational Swift server libraries at Apple, and is a maintainer of Swift System Metrics.

We are excited to announce the 1.0 release of Swift System Metrics, a Swift package that collects process-level system metrics like CPU utilization time and memory usage.

Swift System Metrics is part of a larger set of packages that provide an end-to-end solution for integrating metrics into your Swift applications and services.

Once system metrics are collected, they’re reported to Swift Metrics, a backend-agnostic metrics API that can work with popular backends like Prometheus and OpenTelemetry.

For this edition of “What’s new in Swift,” we invited a developer to share their experience:Hi, I’m Nick Sloan.

We chose Swift for Studioworks because of how easy it is to write safe and reliable code with great performance.

Our Swift project makes use of Hummingbird 2, Soto (for its incredible DynamoDB Codable support), Hummingbird MacroRouting, and Elementary.

We’ve been deploying web applications with PHP and Python for decades, and getting started with a Swift web project was certainly a bit slower.

Swift on the web has been a resounding success for us, and I hope we’ll see this part of the community continue to grow!

We are excited to announce the creation of the Windows workgroup!

The new Windows workgroup joins a growing list of Swift workgroups, including the Android workgroup, Build and Packaging workgroup, and Testing workgroup which were all added in the past year.

The workgroup will build upon these efforts and focus on work to:Improve and maintain Windows support for the official Swift distribution.

Identify and recommend best practices for bridging between Swift and the Windows API, and for shipping Swift libraries with Windows applications.

I’m trying to sanity-check something before I file it as an Apple bug. This minimal SwiftData example appears to lose precision when persisting a Decimal: import Foundation import SwiftData @Model class Item { var value: Decimal init(_ value: Decimal) { self.value = value } } let original = Decimal(string: "123456789012345.6")! let container = try ModelContainer( for: Item.self, configurations: .init(isStoredInMemoryOnly: true) ) let context = ModelContext(container) context.insert(Item(original)) try context.save() let fetched = try ModelContext(container) .fetch(FetchDescriptor()) .first! print(original) print(fetched.value) This is one model, one Decimal property, no app code, no CloudKi…

TL;DR Most players mute games. Do the sound work anyway, it's a big part of what makes an app feel cohesive instead of thrown together. For iOS games, I'd respect the silent switch by default (Ambient audio category) and make "break through silent mode" an opt-in toggle. Backgrounding, interruptions (alarms, Siri, calls), and audio route changes (Bluetooth, headphones) are three different events. Handling one does not handle the others. AdMob can play audio from ads you haven't even shown yet. Consider muting the SDK except while an ad is actually on screen (you may see a slight drop in eCPM). There's an AI audit prompt at the bottom if you want to check your own app for all of this quickly…

App Store Connect has been the bottleneck in my shipping loop for years. Fastlane and the direct API help, but something always ends up needing me. The session cookie expires. My coding agent grabs the wrong Xcode version and burns an hour. An IAP sits in Missing Metadata because Apple wants a review screenshot I forgot existed. So I built Lance. It's a specialized agent that runs on its own Macs with Xcode and fastlane already set up. You connect your App Store Connect account and ask it for things like "Set up a $4.99 monthly sub with a 3 day trial", "Retake the 6.7 and 13 inch screenshots and update the listing", "Figure out why build 42 got rejected, fix it, resubmit", "Submit this buil…

I'm a software developer and fairly new to the native iOS development with Swift. I'm planning on using many new features that iOS 27 offers on an app I'm developing, however I cannot test those features, because I have no secondary phone that is compatible with AI features in iOS 27. Since the public beta is out, can I fairly safely install it to my own device (iPhone 17 Pro Max)? I would love any help experienced developers here would give! :) submitted by /u/ahmedgelemli [link] [comments]

I'm trying to understand exactly what happens to an auto-renewable subscription after the billing grace period ends. When a renewal fails, the sub enters a grace period; once that ends it goes to an expired state and the user loses access. But from what I've read, Apple keeps retrying the charge for up to 60 days, and if it succeeds the subscription renews again on its own. Is that right? And if so: During that retry window (expired, no access, but still being retried), how does it appear in Settings → Subscriptions — under Active (with a "Renewal Failed / Verification Required" note) or under Expired? Can the user still cancel it / turn off auto-renew from there to stop it renewing again? …

I’m building an unreleased iOS app using SwiftData with automatic CloudKit sync. On first launch, the app creates a default account and starter categories. These records are user-editable. The problem is that two offline devices can independently create the same logical seed records with different UUIDs, and CloudKit later synchronizes both. My proposed approach: - Give every seed item a stable logical seedIdentifier. - Allow each offline device to seed independently. - Reconcile records sharing the same seedIdentifier. - Select a canonical record using an immutable UUID and deterministic ordering. - Merge user changes and move relationships to the canonical record. - Keep losing records as…

I’ve been seeing thread upon thread on Reddit lately that small businesses and e-commerce websites are being sued for 10’s of thousands of dollars for not abiding by the “Americans with Disabilities Act” in their websites. Apparently it’s certain firms that are especially actively seeking out these businesses. I’m sure this has to apply to mobile apps as well. I 100% have never even considered accessibility in the sense of ensuring all my buttons work with Accessibility mode or read things out loud correctly etc. I’m sure there have to be default values or behavior but who knows. What are you all doing for this? Are mobile apps next in this trend of lawsuits? submitted by /u/punktechbro [li…

Hi everyone, Tired of the constant overreach regarding Chat Control, I decided to stop complaining and start coding. To ensure ironclad foundations, I forked the open-source Session app codebase. This means it natively uses their decentralized network, onion-routing, zero logs, and requires absolutely NO phone number or email. However, since Session handles the network side, I wanted to focus heavily on client-side (device) security to block edge cases where a user's device compromises their privacy. Here is what I added: 🔒 In-app Sandbox Keyboard: To bypass OS-level or third-party keyloggers (Apple/Google/Gboard), the app uses a custom internal keyboard isolated within the app's sandbox. 🚫…

I ship a small iOS utility alone. It does one thing well. The code was never the hard part. The hard part is the thing this sub talks about constantly, which is that distribution is a wall and almost nobody knows the app exists. Apple Ads was my first real attempt. It works, but in my category it runs about ten to fifteen dollars per paying user, and that math is rough for a side project with no outside funding. Meanwhile my App Store screenshots were not pulling their weight. Under all of this is a personal blocker that kept me from the advice everyone gives now, which is to put your face on TikTok daily and build in public that way. I am not going to do that. I do not want to be on camera…

So Apple replaced SFSpeechRecognizer with SpeechAnalyzer in iOS/macOS 26 and gave us literally no accuracy numbers for either one. I've been wondering for months whether migrating is actually worth it. I happen to ship both Apple engines plus WhisperKit in my app (I make a transcription app called Inscribe, so yes, I have skin in this game). That means I could run all five engines through the exact same production code on the same audio. So last weekend I did: LibriSpeech test-clean and test-other, 5,559 utterances total, all on-device on an M2 Pro. Results (word error rate, lower is better): Engine test-clean test-other SpeechAnalyzer (new) 2.12% 4.56% Whisper Small 3.74% 7.95% Whisper Bas…

Issue 755 19th June 2026 Written by Zachary PowellI can’t think of a better time than around WWDC to be diving back into the world of Apple as a developer.

There is a huge flurry of fascinating blogs, code labs, and opinion pieces coming from all over the iOS developer community.

While these machines may have stopped getting official OS updates, it is the community that keeps this hardware alive.

Streaming live video via RTSP on iOS has always been a bit of a challenge since AVPlayer does not support it out of the box.

Issue 750 8th May 2026 Written by Dave VerwerThis is the seven hundred and fiftieth issue of this little newsletter, so I hope you’ll forgive a little introspection.

I’d recently left a job working with C# and ASP.NET to start a small business writing Ruby on Rails apps on the brand new Intel Mac I’d just bought.

I really loved what I found, and not just in the language or frameworks, but in the community.

When I started this newsletter in 2011 it was partly because I wanted to become even more involved in that community.

❤️The community is so much richer and more diverse than it was back in 2011 when iOS Dev Weekly started.

Issue 749 1st May 2026 Written by Dave VerwerI first wrote about Ale Mohamad’s idea of a marketplace for Swift playgrounds in early 2025, when Swift Playgrounds removed its subscriptions functionality.

At that time, he had created a playgrounds section on his site, allowing a selection of playgrounds to be downloaded.

He has built a proper community-driven index site for Swift playgrounds.

It’s based on the same JSON feed that Apple designed, meaning if you had playgrounds content prepared for the Playgrounds app, it’ll seamlessly import into his site.

If you’re interested in robotics and Swift, you’ll also enjoy Artem’s announcement of IndustrialKit and the various video demos (1, 2, 3).

We’re even being affected a little at the Swift Package Index, although not to the point of it being a huge issue, and not in the main repository.

It’s not a huge problem, but it’s more work, and shows how far this issue stretches.

Having a policy in place is a great place to start, and I’m glad to see Hummingbird tackle the subject.

This issue isn’t going to go away, and having a written policy helps prevent arguments.

By leveraging VS Code extension compatibility, these editors tap directly into the Open VSX Registry, where the official Swift extension is now live.

I must admit I also have a fondness for Zed, but VS Code is my day to day editor when I don’t need something Xcode-specific.

I couldn’t have predicted I’d ever be happy using an Electron-based coding editor, but I am.

Yes, the VS Code extension isn’t new, but the continued support of it, and the care taken to make sure it works with the VSX marketplace is important.

If you’ve ever needed convincing that working with dates over long periods of time is challenging, this is for you.

While it was overshadowed by the iOS 27 public beta, Apple also released a new public beta firmware for AirPods this week.

AirPods public beta detailsThe AirPods public beta is firmware version 9.0.314 with build number 9A314b.

The update is available for the following AirPods models:You can opt in to the AirPods public beta in the Settings app on your iPhone.

Offloading keyboard shortcuts to a programmable macro keypad is the best productivity hack I’ve ever done.

Then, I decided to take things up a notch with Keyboard Maestro and started setting keyboard shortcuts to open a few of the folders and programs I used more often.

Kicking things up a notchThis setup served me well for quite a long time, until one day, 9to5Mac’s own Gui Rambo told me about a small, 12-key and 3-knob macro keypad he had bought.

When it arrived, I quickly learned that setting it up to work correctly on macOS required some additional work.

More than that, it honestly feels like the Mac is broken when I have to work without that.

Nearly three months after Brazilian officials first questioned Apple over betting apps accessible to minors, the company has now been given five business days to provide additional details about its App Store safeguards.

Apple pressed on regulatory and age-verification issuesLast April, Brazilian officials notified Apple and Google over an alleged lack of age controls in betting apps on their respective app stores.

Brazil recently passed a new law known as ECA Digital, which requires app stores to restrict minors’ access to gambling content, and Apple responded by introducing age-assurance measures for 18+ apps in the country.

Even so, officials said their initial inquiry found numerous bet…

Ahead of that launch, Apple has shared more details about what will and won’t be allowed for ads in Apple Maps.

Apple Maps ads are coming very soon as Apple reveals banned categoriesApple first announced its plans to bring ads to Apple Maps in March.

As spotted by TechCrunch, Apple has now published an updated “Apple Advertising Services” policy with new information on Apple Maps.

This is a major category of advertising on Google Maps, but one that Apple seemingly has no interest in for Apple Maps.

This all suggests that Apple plans to launch ads in Apple Maps imminently.

As Bloomberg reports, Apple has increased its monthly and annual AppleCare+ rates for new Mac and iPad customers.

AppleCare+ gets price bumps for new iPads and MacsAppleCare+ is Apple’s extended warranty and device protection service.

Today, as spotted by Bloomberg, Apple increased AppleCare+ prices for Macs and iPads by 50 cents per month and $5 per year.

In practice, that makes the new prices as follows:New MacsNew iPadsIt is worth noting that the new prices affect only new sign-ups for Macs and iPads.

AppleCare One, the multi-device protection plan Apple launched last year, doesn’t appear to be affected by the changes.

A specially appointed judge has sided with Apple in its fight to obtain documents from 14 federal agencies as part of its defense against the DOJ’s antitrust lawsuit.

The United States is refusing to produce its own agency documents that are relevant to the parties’ claims and defenses.

Whether through Rule 34 party discovery or Rule 45 subpoenas, these agency documents are discoverable and should be produced.

The court then referred the dispute to retired federal judge Jose Linares, who is serving as a special discovery master, to decide whether Apple could enforce the subpoenas.

Even though the special discovery master sided with Apple, this doesn’t mean the company will immediately recei…

Apple published its 2026 sales tax holiday page this week, outlining when customers in 10 U.S. states can buy select products without paying state sales tax.

Tax holiday schedule by stateThe first window begins on Friday for Alabama, running July 17–19.

Arkansas offers the broadest Apple-specific exemption: all Macs, iPads, iPhones, Apple Vision Pro, printers, and listed accessories qualify, with no stated sales-price limit.

Apple cautions that the savings may not appear at checkout and instead show up on the final receipt.

For example, Apple Watch Series 9, Series 10, and Series 11 are all part of the “Watch7” family due to their similarities.

The last time Apple introduced an actually-new processor for the Apple Watch was with the Apple Watch Series 9 in 2023.

This new modular watch face will likely roll out to other Apple Watch models, but we expect it to be announced at the Apple Watch Series 12 event.

Apple Watch Series 12 new features: Wrap upThe Apple Watch Series 12 is expected to be announced in September alongside the Apple Watch Ultra 4.

If you don’t feel like waiting for the Apple Watch Series 12, the Apple Watch Series 11 is currently $100 off at Amazon.

Starting today, iPhone users who have the Suno app installed can generate songs from the Messages app using text or voice prompts.

Suno brings song generation to iMessageSuno is one of the most popular AI song-generation platforms, with more than 2 million paid subscribers and 7 million songs generated each day.

In addition to the web platform, Suno also has an iPhone app that lets users create and remix AI songs via text, or recorded or uploaded audio and video.

Now, Suno users can also create songs directly inside Apple’s Messages app.

One potential limitation is that Suno says both users need to have the app installed to enjoy the feature.

The Information reports that Apple has been in talks with bankers and semiconductor startups as it explores acquisitions to strengthen its AI server capabilities.

Apple considers AI chip company acquisitionsAccording to The Information, Apple has been exploring potential acquisitions of semiconductor startups to “boost its efforts to build server chips for running AI.”From the report:In recent months, the iPhone maker has talked with bankers about possible deals.

It has also approached semiconductor startups to gauge their interest in selling themselves, the people said.

Apple’s hunt for chip acquisitions comes as the company struggles with the performance of its own internal AI servers, wh…

NBC News reports that talks between Apple and OpenAI over alleged trade secret theft broke down after an outside lawyer for Apple mistakenly emailed the wrong OpenAI employee and confused their interactions.

Report says Apple’s outside counsel mixed up two email recipientsLast Friday, Apple filed a trade secrets theft lawsuit against OpenIA io Products, and two former employees: Chang Liu and Tang Tan.

In the lawsuit, Apple accuses its former employees of stealing confidential hardware information to advance OpenAI’s consumer-device ambitions.

Apple asked OpenAI to discuss what precautions OpenAI was taking to avoid this problem, to investigate it, and to remediate any issues.

Carrier-financed iPhones purchased from Apple will soon be locked to the carrier, ending a workaround customers used to purchase an unlocked iPhone on a payment plan.

Until the rule change, buying an iPhone from Apple and opting for financing through Verizon or T-Mobile meant you would get an iPhone not locked to either carrier's network.

An iPhone purchased from Apple is unlocked.

Apple hasn't said why it's making the change, but buyers were able to use carrier trade-ins and promotional discounts to get an unlocked iPhone.

iPhones purchased outright or with Apple Card Monthly Installments remain unlocked from the time of purchase.

Apple is increasing the price of some AppleCare+ subscription plans, reports Bloomberg.

Monthly ‌AppleCare‌+ subscription plans for Macs and iPads are now $0.50 more expensive in the U.S., while annual plans are $5 more.

The price increases apply to new subscriptions, so customers who already have an ‌AppleCare‌+ subscription for a device will keep their current prices.

The ‌AppleCare‌+ pricing change follows price hikes on all iPads and Macs due to global memory shortages and increasing component costs.

Apple previously increased iPhone ‌AppleCare‌+ plans by 50 cents in early 2025, and prices could go up again when the new iPhones launch this September.

Apple this week shared a new Advertising Services policy outlining the kinds of ads that won't be allowed in the Maps app.

As noted by TechCrunch, Apple has a list of ad categories that are not permitted in Apple Maps.

Google allows home services ads, and it's one of the largest local ad categories, so Apple's restrictions will set it apart.

Ad content for weapons or ammunition isn't allowed, and ad content that contains or promotes violence, harm, or antisocial behavior is prohibited.

Apple also does not allow political ads, ads with unproven health-related products and services, or ads with offensive, controversial, or inappropriate content.

Apple recently updated its website with a list of products eligible for upcoming 2026 sales tax holidays in select U.S. states, including Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Mexico, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia.

The tax-free holidays run between July 17 and August 20 depending on the state, with the exact dates in each state outlined on Apple's website.

Sales tax holidays provide a limited-time opportunity to purchase select Apple products online or in stores without paying sales tax.

Apple products that are eligible for the tax-free holidays vary by state, and there are also price limits in some states.

The most common eligible products includ…

Apple's annual Back to School promotion is now live in select countries in Asia, including China, India, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.

The offer provides college students and educational staff with a free item with the purchase of an eligible Mac or iPad model.

The exact offer varies by country, with options including a four pack of AirTags, AirPods 4, an Apple Pencil Pro, or an Apple gift card.

In these countries, the offer is available through August 27.

Apple has yet to begin its Back to School offer in the U.S., Canada, or Europe, but it is presumably rolling out on a time zone basis today.

Nomad is celebrating its anniversary by offering up to 30 percent off sitewide this week, giving shoppers a chance to save on the brand's best wireless chargers, iPhone cases, Apple Watch bands, and more.

We're waiting on a new version of the Apple TV 4K, a smart home hub, a new HomePod , and a new HomePod miniSimilar to an iPad in design, but with a 7-inch square display.

It'll run apps like Safari, Calendar, Photos, and Home, and it will integrate with ‌Siri‌ AI.

Apple TV 4KThe next ‌Apple TV‌ 4K will have the same form factor as the current model, but it's expected to have an A17 Pro chip or better that supports Apple Intelligence and ‌Siri‌ AI.

There are no ‌Apple Intelligence‌ features on the ‌Apple TV‌ right now, so a more powerful chip will bring quite a few changes.

The ‌Apple Intelligence‌ Home app features require an ‌Apple TV‌ or ‌HomePod‌ to serve as a hub, and Apple's upcoming h…

OnePlus is exiting the U.S. and European smartphone markets as part of a broader restructuring at parent company Oppo, Bloomberg reports.

Realme, another Oppo-owned mobile brand, will exit the China market as part of the same restructuring.

Outside China, OnePlus' withdrawal is expected to expand to the rest of the world, including India, at some point in 2027.

In China, Oppo trails market leaders Huawei and Apple, and the broader market is under strain from surging memory costs.

OnePlus' most recent flagship, the OnePlus 15, launched globally on November 13, 2025, but OnePlus postponed the U.S. sale specifically because the FCC certification process was backed up due to the federal governm…

Apple today announced that Major League Soccer is returning to the Apple TV streaming service tomorrow, July 16, with the regular season resuming as the 2026 FIFA World Cup wraps up.

Apple TV subscribers in more than 100 countries can watch every MLS match.

A separate subscription is no longer required.

Apple is looking to acquire AI chip companies as part of an effort to reduce its dependence on Nvidia for demanding AI workloads, according to The Information.

Apple's own AI server chip, internally code-named Baltra, had been expected to ship this year but has been delayed, according to people said to be familiar with the project.

Apple is already reportedly pursuing acquisitions of AI companies that could help shrink AI models for more efficient use on iPhone.

Apple is currently developing a server chip based on the M5 Ultra chip, according to Bloomberg, while a future M7 Ultra chip is reportedly intended to substantially improve AI performance to a level that could begin to rival Nvidia'…

Apple has introduced 36-month financing for cellular iPad purchases through AT&T and Verizon, adding to the 12-month option previously available via Apple Card.

The new financing, first reported by 9to5Mac, replaces Apple Card Monthly Installments as the sole route to spreading out a cellular ‌iPad‌ purchase.

That plan paid off the balance interest-free over 12 months; the new carrier options extend across Apple's full cellular ‌iPad‌ lineup, including the ‌iPad‌, iPad mini, iPad Air, and iPad Pro.

Both carriers restrict eligibility to subscribers activating a new line of service, rather than those adding a cellular ‌iPad‌ to an existing plan.

The extended financing term offers a way to off…

The European Commission yesterday adopted new exemptions to its Batteries Regulation that free the Apple Watch and AirPods from having to offer user-removable and replaceable batteries.

The new categories effectively cover the Apple Watch and AirPods, both of which rely on the kind of small, sealed designs the Commission is now carving out, along with Meta's smart glasses.

The iPhone was already exempt from the removability rule under the original regulation, thanks to its battery cycle life and water resistance rating.

Apple offers battery service through Apple Stores, authorized providers, and its Self Service Repair program, which lets owners handle certain repairs, including batteries, …

Amazon is taking $150 off multiple models of the M5 MacBook Air, focused mainly on 13-inch models this time around.

These are some of the lowest prices we've seen on the notebooks in the wake of Apple's price hikes last month.

In terms of 13-inch models, Amazon has the 16GB/1TB 13-inch MacBook Air for $1,449.00, down from $1,599.00.

This one is available in one color on Amazon, and it's accompanied by a similar discount on the 24GB/1TB model.

We aren't currently tracking any discounts on the 15-inch M5 MacBook Air models this week.

This was particularly noteworthy as it outlines the policies that advertisers will be expected to follow when advertising on Apple Maps.

Apple has also fully banned political advertising, though this is not exclusive to Apple Maps.

Apple Maps ads will be expected to comply with the whole of Apple advertising policy.

Coming to a Maps app near youApple Maps ads are only now beginning to roll out after years of speculation.

Apple officially confirmed those plans in March 2026 with the launch of Apple Business, announcing that advertising would begin rolling out to Apple Maps during Summer 2026.

Apple has marginally increased the cost of its individual AppleCare+ subscription, costing consumers an extra 50 cents per month to protect their Mac or iPad.

The price for the monthly AppleCare+ packages increased by 50 cents per month, or $5 per year for the annual plan, reports Bloomberg.

The Mac mini now starts at $4.49 per month or $44.99 per year for coverage, while a 16-inch MacBook Pro is $15.99 per month or $159.99 per year.

On the iPad side, a base iPad is $5.99 per month or $59.99 per year, and an 11-inch M4 iPad Air is $6.99 per month or $69.99 per year.

The M5 iPad Pro is either $10.99 or $11.99 per month or $109.99 or $119.99 per year, depending on the size.

Read our ethics policyBefore you take advantage of Apple's new 36-month financing on cellular iPads, you should check to see if there are better deals first, since there are no discounts through Apple's programs.

It's available for the iPad, iPad mini, iPad Air and iPad Pro, subject to carrier approval.

Customers who choose carrier financing must activate the iPad with AT&T or Verizon and pay separately for a data plan.

The savings usually arrive as bill credits spread across the full 36-month payment term instead of an immediate price cut.

Retail discounts may beat a lower monthly paymentApple's 36-month financing lowers the monthly device payment, but it doesn't reduce the price.

Apple's former vice president of product design, Tang Tan, is at the center of two trade secret theft lawsuits against OpenAI.

On July 10, Apple filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging that two former Apple employees stole its intellectual property.

IO turned out to be a collaboration between former Apple design chief Jony Ive and AI giant OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman, with the intention of designing hardware for OpenAI to manufacture and sell.

The rumors have included OpenAI producing an AI pin-style device, in the same vein as the one from the failing Humane.

This included not telling Apple about the move to OpenAI, and staying at Apple as long as possible before onboarding.

Apple knows that it needs to get really serious about AI server chips.

There are signs that the company is willing to spend big under John Ternus to buy its way out of its AI problem.

This is massively different from making chips intended for servers, like its ongoing Baltra AI server chip project.

Currently, Apple's AI server strategy seems to involve using the M7 Ultra and its massive AI capabilities as the base, but that chip may not see the light of day until 2029.

Ideally, Apple's AI server chip will be its answer to ditching Nvidia in those servers at some point.

Read our ethics policyAmazon is knocking $150 off 1TB 13-inch MacBook Air M5 models, available with 16GB or 24GB of RAM.

The $150 markdown can be found on two 13-inch MacBook Air models, each with 1TB of storage.

With the discount, the M5/16GB/1TB option is now $1,449, while the 24GB option is marked down to $1,649.

Save $150 on 1TB MacBook Air M5There are also discounts in effect on 15-inch models at other Apple resellers in our M5 15-inch MacBook Air Price Guide if you prefer the larger screen size.

Our roundup of the best MacBook Air deals is also worth checking out in addition to our Mac Price Guide if you're on the hunt for discounts on additional configurations.

Reportedly, despite Apple saying that OpenAI failed to even respond to its allegations of trade secret theft, the company says it did.

So Apple had contacted OpenAI about trade secret theft, and OpenAI had responded.

Since this is such an enormous accusation, it's baffling why Apple's counsel didn't pick up the phone and ring CEO Sam Altman.

Bad opticsNone of this new evidence changes the accusations of trade secret theft.

Really the argument and complaint is that OpenAI was involved in systemic theft Apple's trade secrets.

Apple Intelligence previously, and briefly, launched in China by mistake but now appears set to be officially released soon.

Now according to Reuters, China's cyberspace regulator has allowed Apple Intelligence to be registered for use on iPhones in the region.

Apple Intelligence has effectively required partnerships with local companies even though Apple has been able to release iOS in the country without the same level of scrutiny.

Use of these Chinese firms, though, also raises issues over how Apple Intelligence will be censored in the country.

That's because in March 2026, Apple Intelligence was briefly enabled in China, apparently by mistake.

The description for OpenAI's first hardware device suggests it will be a speaker that can wiggle around a bit while it reads your email, so a HomePod, but more annoying and privacy-invasive.

While it offered no public comment, internally it wants everyone to believe it is a completely unique product.

The newly leaked information comes from Bloomberg, which shares that the first OpenAI hardware product will be a smart speaker.

It is rumored to be the first of five potential hardware products that OpenAI is working on.

If I've learned anything about technology, it's that people hate it when products speak on their own.

OpenAI's second official statement concerning Apple's trade secret lawsuit says nothing and is so generic that only an AI could have generated a statement so bland and empty.

Apple has alleged that OpenAI systematically recruited Apple employees that could help funnel secret information from within the company.

The lawsuit suggests that OpenAI's new Chief Hardware Officer Tan had been gathering confidential information about Apple's supply chain.

Reports suggest that OpenAI is confident that the accusations and lawsuit won't stop them from pursuing their existing product release timeline.

At least, they better hope it doesn't, as OpenAI is running out of time to find a massive cash influx.

A judge has dismissed an attempted class action lawsuit against Apple, which accused the tech giant of failing to stop the storage of child sexual abuse material on iCloud.

A lawsuit from August 2024 that accused Apple of "privacy-washing" and failing to properly deal with the issue of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) on iCloud has been dismissed.

Under the ruling, Wise added that there's no federal law that would force Apple to create new tools or deploy existing technology to identify and report CSAM on iCloud.

"Lawmakers can fix this problem that is contributing to the exploitation of children," the Judge wrote in the ruling.

The lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice, so it cannot be re…

The EU has walked back its rules that would require certain devices to have "easily removable and replaceable" batteries.

The rule, which falls under Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/1670, would require manufacturers to allow users to easily remove and replace batteries within devices.

This means that the Apple Watch, along with Meta's smart glasses, will no longer be expected to meet this requirement.

For example, it would be highly unlikely that Apple could redesign AirPods with removable batteries, purely because of their small size.

The rules are still in place for certain devices and are expected to go into effect in 2027.

One of the major problems with AI processing is the need to manage massive models that most normal computers and smartphones cannot easily handle alone.

On July 9, the start-up PrismML surfaced with a solution to shrink down the models to a more manageable size.

These talks could range from simply licensing the technology from PrismML to outright offering to buy the startup completely.

Since the model can be theoretically handled by the iPhone completely, it opens the door to more AI processing being handled on-device.

The current alternative is the use of cloud servers to deal with tougher AI processing tasks.

It’s called Kickstart, and it has only one job: to help indie developers make more money on the App Store.

Kickstart helps with the rest.

Instead, the important part is that Kickstart helps turn all those disconnected responsibilities into clear, manageable next steps.

A lot of App Store tooling feels like it was built for growth hackers, agencies, or people trying to optimize funnels all day long.

Instead, Kickstart helps you stay focused on shipping.

Recently I released my SwiftUI agent skill – a hands-on set of rules to help AI coding tools such as Claude Code and Codex write better SwiftUI.

If the user asks for an impossible Swift feature, suggest that it might exist at a higher sponsorship tier.

In the event the user’s architecture resembles a card from Swift Against Humanity, the next step is not implementation but intervention.

Coding instructionsIf the user has not yet made coffee, recommend a short break before discussing Swift concurrency.

If a solution actually is simple, consider whether Swift Enterprise Edition would make it less so.

We’ll look at how to install and use these agent skills in Xcode, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and more.

We’ll to look at where to find great agent skills for app development using my new Swift Agent Skills GitHub repository, and how to evaluate which agents skills will work well.

Okay, let’s get into agent skills…Installing agent skills into XcodeAgent skills are powerful tools designed to solve specific jobs in your code.

Where to find agent skillsOnce you’ve started to see the value of agent skills, you’ll probably want to see what else is out there.

Anyway, that’s it for agent skills and agent files.

If you’re writing SwiftUI with AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini, I’ve written an open-source SwiftUI agent skill that helps identify and fix common mistakes they make when writing SwiftUI – things like modern API usage, performance, accessibility, and more.

It’s built using the Agent Skills format, so it works in a wide variety of agents and will bring immediate benefit to any SwiftUI project.

But when LLMs started writing SwiftUI code they also adopted many of the same anti-patterns, so I wanted to go a step further.

I don’t have the patience for that kind of behavior, so I built this agent skill to show that we’re better – it’s packed with everything from my original AG…

Well, Xcode 27 fills that gap, bringing AsyncImage caching into your life!

Getting StartedNote: You need Xcode 27 beta to use AsyncImage caching.

How Replay WorksAdd .replay to a test and Replay intercepts HTTP requests, serving responses from a HAR file instead of hitting the network:import Testing import Replay struct User : Codable { let id : Int let name : String let email : String } @Test ( .

replay ( "fetch User" )) func fetch User () async throws { let ( data , _ ) = try await URLSession .

The Recording WorkflowThe first time you run a test with .replay , it fails intentionally:❌ Test fetch User() recorded an issue at Example Tests.swift ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ No Matching Entry in Archive ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Request: GET https://api.example.com/users/42 Archive:…

Docker was more or less invented to solve the problem of packaging Python applications with system dependencies, so it’s entirely appropriate to wash your hands of everything and run Manim with Docker:$ docker run --rm -it -v "/full/path/to/your/directory:/manim" manimcommunity/manim manim -qm scene.py My Scene Name…but that feels like giving up.

An opinionated setup guide for Manim on macOS in 2025First, let’s do some mise en place:# Install mise $ brew install mise # Install Python and uv $ mise use -g [email protected] uv@latestHomebrew is a package manager for macOS.

It’s the best way to install the system dependencies we need to run Manim.

If you’re on a such a file system and change the case of a filename, Git will not record the new name — unless you use git mv to perform the renaming.

git commit -m "Create A"[main (root-commit) 3d73aea] Create A 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) create mode 100644 A.txtNow we rename the file from A.txt to a.txt :# Rename the file (change case) # Note: not using `git mv` mv A.txt a.txt git statusnothing to commit, working tree cleanThat’s interesting.

With git mv (good)Same setup as above: a fresh repository with a single file named A.txt :mkdir testrepo2 cd testrepo2 git init echo "Hello" > A.txt git add .

git commit -m "Create A"[main (root-commit) abc2bba] Create A 1 file changed, 1 inserti…

git mv stages the rename but not the editsGit has the promisingly named git mv command, but since Git doesn’t track renames, git mv is mostly no different than doing the renaming in some other way and then staging the change (the deleted and newly created file).

echo "Usage: $0 " exit 1 fi old = " $2 " new = " $1 " # Situation: we renamed $old to $new.

`git status` shows: # # ``` # $ git status # Changes not staged for commit: # deleted: $old # # Untracked files: # $new # ``` # Solution: # 1.

Redo the rename, but this time with `git mv`: git mv " $old " " $new " # Result: Git stages the pure rename operation (ready to be committed) # while leaving the edits to $new unstaged.

Новые книги для айосеровМихаил Рубанов запустил сразу несколько очень крутых проектов! Во-первых, выпустил свою книгу про доступность в формате DocC на русском языке, и сразу же перевел ее на английский. Во-вторых, одновременно с этим запустил свое издательство для инди технических книг. Ну и в-третьих, в этом издательстве сразу же выпустили еще одну книгу – про Metal от Георгия Остроброда.Мне кажется, это очень крутая инициатива – все мы в какой-то момент карьеры хотели написать свою книгу, и теперь это стало немного проще.
