An image shared by leaker Majin Bu offers what may be the clearest look yet at Apple’s rumored solution to a growing challenge in high-performance smartphones: heat dissipation. Here’s what it looks like.

Apple was quick to address what was by far one of the biggest complaints from the first iOS 26 developer beta: Control Center contrast. With beta 2, released earlier today, Apple seems to have tweaked it for better visibility.

Alongside the new macOS 26 developer beta 2, Apple has also pushed out the second developer beta of visionOS 26, and the rest of its operating systems.

Today, most generative image models basically fall into two main categories: diffusion models, like Stable Diffusion, or autoregressive models, like OpenAI’s GPT-4o.

And with a dash of Transformers on top, they might be more capable than previously thought.

If you recently looked up but couldn’t find OpenAI’s announcement video about its flashy partnership with Jony Ive, you are not alone. OpenAI has quietly pulled down the original blog post and the accompanying nine-minute video, just weeks after touting the $6.5 billion deal as a landmark step toward building new AI hardware.

According to leaker Majin Bu, Apple is experimenting with two new colors for this year’s iPhone 17 base models, but only one might make it to launch. And if the current internal scuttlebutt is anything to go by, there seems to be a frontrunner.

Apple’s tight grip on local wireless sharing is finally loosening, even if rather reactively. With iOS 26, developers are getting a new API that allows third-party apps to discover and connect nearby devices over Wi-Fi, without needing an internet connection. Here’s how it’ll work.
