Every once in a while, an Apple-related project gets submitted to LEGO’s Product Ideas page. Just recently, the LEGO Apple Store concept quickly blew past the 10,000-vote threshold needed to enter official review. Now, a new submission is making the rounds, and it is pretty cool.

To say that Apple’s pre-recorded events are divisive is an understatement. What initially seemed like a pandemic-fueled stopgap has become the company’s standard way to make announcements, even though its competitors have largely moved back to live presentations.

With the upcoming “Awe Dropping” event, Apple has an opportunity to take a new crack at the live event format. Do you think it’ll take it?

Last month, the United Kingdom’s competition regulator designated Apple and Google as having “strategic market status.” As a result, the two companies will be subject to different regulatory rules, some of which are very similar to Europe’s DMA. Tonight, Apple fired back.

Update, August 28, 11:19 a.m. PT: In a statement to 9to5Mac, an Apple spokesperson said: “Notarization for this app was removed in order to comply with government sanctions-related rules in various jurisdictions. We have communicated this to the developer.”

When Apple was compelled to allow alternative iOS app stores in the EU, it adopted the notarization model familiar to Mac developers. This means that if Apple revokes the notarization of a certain app, its distribution and use get blocked, even though it was installed from outside the App Store. That’s exactly what seems to have happened to iTorrent. Here are the details.

To say 2025 has been an unpredictable year for the smartphone market would be an understatement. Early in February, IDC had forecast a 2.6% growth, followed by a decrease to just 0.6% in May. Now, the institute has once again adjusted its forecast, thanks in part to “accelerated” iOS growth. Here are the details.

According to the latest rumors, Apple is slated to use TSMC’s 2nm process for its upcoming A20 chip, expected to power the iPhone 18 series. Now, a new report details the chipmaker’s roadmap for bringing the chip into mass production, and the industry-wide rush to secure an early supply.

From the United States to the United Kingdom, from Brazil to Japan, and in many countries in between, Apple has been facing a series of antitrust probes, particularly over its App Store rules. Now, Colombia is also joining in. Here are the details.

In a new investor note, Bank of America Research analyst Wamsi Mohani offered his market outlook ahead of the upcoming September 9 event, where the iPhone 17 lineup will be announced. Here’s what he said.

Today, The Omni Group announced OmniFocus 4.7, which brings interesting new productivity and workflow features. However, an optional database migration is needed to enable some of them. Here are the details.

Whenever a new story comes out detailing yet another setback with Apple’s AI initiatives and roadmaps, without fail, someone shows up and asks: “What exactly is Apple behind on?,” or “Catch up? Catch up to what?”.

And while this sort of comment tends to come from people who seem to spend quite a lot of time and effort trying to make sure that everyone knows they don’t care about something, this specific hill they’re choosing to die on is getting increasingly steep. Here’s why.

In a new study co-authored by Apple researchers, an open-source large language model (LLM) saw big performance improvements after being told to check its own work by using one simple productivity trick. Here are the details.

Apple has rolled out the fifth public beta of macOS Tahoe 26, continuing its weekly release schedule for public and developer betas ahead of the official launch next month. Here’s how to install it.

On personal iPhones, users can decide whether they want Apple Intelligence to connect to ChatGPT. But on corporate devices, things can be trickier. That’s why Apple is reportedly adding support for enterprise accounts, but in a way that extends beyond its current OpenAI partnership. Here are the details.

Apple researchers have developed an adapted version of the SlowFast-LLaVA model that beats larger models at long-form video analysis and understanding. Here’s what that means.

Every now and then, we hear about Apple going after ex-employees who allegedly try to take trade secrets with them when they get hired by the competition. That’s the case with Chen Shi, a former Sensor System Architect for the Apple Watch team. Here are the details.
