Apple says it has not seen a successful spyware attack on any iPhone with Lockdown Mode enabled, a claim it shared with TechCrunch. Lockdown Mode arrived in 2022 as an opt-in feature for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It was introduced as a stricter security mode for people at high risk of targeted attacks, such as journalists, activists, and government officials. What Lockdown Mode actually does Lockdown Mode blocks many common attack routes used by spyware. When enabled, this security feature restricts your device’s functionality aggressively. It blocks most message attachments, disables link previews, and restricts incoming calls and invitations from…
Apple’s Dynamic Island has been around long enough that most people have made their peace with it or forgotten it’s there. In fact, I’ve seen people associating the pill-shaped notch with newer iPhone models (released in the last 3 years). Now, a fresh leak suggests that the notch replacement is about to shrink, not just on the expensive models. What did the leaker actually say? The tip comes from Ice Universe’s Weibo account (via 9To5Mac). The tipster believes that the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 18 lineup is getting slimmer. It’s the thickness of the Dynamic Island — from left…
Marathon is (mostly) a game about various trios dropping into maps, attempting to find the best loot possible, and extracting safely from the map, killing any enemy AI or other players you might encounter along the way. There are new duo variants being tested in-game, and of course, you can always hop into the game solo as a Runner or as a Rook, the robotic shell who loads into a given map with the goal of scavenging. As you might expect, the trio nature of the game implies that you play with two friends. As much as I enjoy doing…
There are useful apps, there are pointless app,s and then there is SlapMac, which sits in a category all by itself. This app has gone viral online for one very stupid (and fun) reason: it makes your MacBook play sound effects when you slap it. Just spank your Mac and hear it moan, fart, or throw punches. The app creator has apparently made $5,000 in just three days, which is what makes the story even more absurd. How does it work? SlapMac reportedly uses the MacBook’s motion sensors to detect impact, then responds with a sound effect when the laptop…
Apple has officially discontinued the Mac Pro, and by extension, the $700 Mac Pro Wheels Kit is also dead. Yes, that sentence is still funny in 2026. It marks the end of one of the company’s most infamous desktop add-ons. For anyone who somehow missed this saga, the Wheels Kit launched back in 2020 as an upgrade for the Mac Pro. It allowed you to add wheels for $400, but buying the standalone kit later costs a whopping $700 because the base machine already included the standard feet. Apple also sold a separate $300 Feet Kit for people who wanted…

Game Informer senior video editor Alex Van Aken and I traveled to London, Ontario, in the Great White North to visit…
