		<description><![CDATA[Mobile game developer Halfbrick today launched a new iOS game in its popular Jetpack Joyride series. <a href="https://www.halfbrick.com/games/jetpack-joyride-racing">Jetpack Joyride Racing</a> is a multiplayer racing game that supports up to six players for real-time racing competitions.<br/>
<br/>
<div class="center-wrap"><iframe title="Jetpack Joyride Racing Official Trailer Launching April 10, 2026" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6PWzxNSnN20" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div><br/>
Players can take on the role of Barry Steakfries, Dan, Josie, Professor Brains, Robo Barry, and more, with four circuits and a zone system that changes gameplay on the fly. Purple zones slow you down, red zones cut your engine, and green zones speed you up.<br/>
<br/>
Races feature items to collect for boosts, drift mechanics, and different tactical designs to master in each level. In addition to the competitive racing mode with support for Discord voice chat, players can also team up with friends for collaborative gameplay in Party Mode. The game has easy-to-learn controls, but it will take some time to master drifting and boosting to win.<br/>
<br/>
Players can collect in-game cards for rewards, and the cards are part of the Halfbrick+ <a href="https://www.halfbrick.com/blog/introducing-halfbrick-cards">collectible card system</a>. Cards unlock ships, characters, and cosmetic items, and will eventually integrate with other Halfbrick+ games similar to Nintendo's Amiibo. With Season Pass rewards, players can make their way through a progression system laden with prizes.<br/>
<br/>
Jetpack Joyride Racing is free to download and play, with no ads included. The optional Halfbrick+ subscription provides access to other Halfbrick games like Fruit Ninja, plus it includes exclusive rewards, premium cosmetics, faster progression, and subscriber-only content. Halfbrick+ starts at &#36;2.99 per month, but there is no need to subscribe to play Jetpack Joyride Racing. <br/>
<br/>
Jetpack Joyride Racing can be downloaded from the <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/app-store/">App Store</a> for free.

		<description><![CDATA[For this week's giveaway, we've teamed up with <a href="https://buy.geni.us/Proxy.ashx?TSID=3088&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0G6GRGCLW">Astropad</a> to offer <em>MacRumors</em> readers a chance to win one of Apple's <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-17/">iPhone 17</a> models and a <a href="https://buy.geni.us/Proxy.ashx?TSID=3088&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0G6GRGCLW">Fresh Coat anti-reflective screen protector</a> from Astropad to use with it. <br/>
<br/>
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1030682" src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2025/12/astropad-fresh-coat-main.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" /><br/>
Fresh Coat is a screen protector with an optical-grade anti-reflective coating to minimize glare and provide a better iPhone viewing experience. The technology reduces reflections by 75 percent, while improving contrast and keeping colors vibrant. Unlike other anti-reflective screen protectors on the market, Fresh Coat adds no haze or distortion to the iPhone's display.<br/>
<br/>
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1030688" src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2025/12/astropad-fresh-coat-comparison-4.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" /><br/>
<a href="https://buy.geni.us/Proxy.ashx?TSID=3088&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0G6GRGCLW">Priced at &#36;30</a>, Fresh Coat is made from a scratch-proof tempered glass that provides protection for the iPhone's display in addition to cutting down on glare and reflections. It's slim and doesn't add bulk to the iPhone even though there are five layers of protective technology at work. From the top down, there's an anti-reflective coating, an oleophobic and hydrophobic coating, a layer of tempered glass, a dust barrier, and an impact-resistant "airbag" bonding.<br/>
<br/>
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1030684" src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2025/12/astropad-fresh-coat-layers.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" /><br/>
If you have an &zwnj;iPhone 17&zwnj;, it already has an anti-reflective coating from Apple. What you probably don't know is that you can't use just any screen protector with the &zwnj;iPhone 17&zwnj;. If you put a regular screen protector without an anti-reflective coating on, it <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2025/12/04/iphone-17-screen-protector-anti-reflective-issue/">nullifies</a> the anti-reflective properties of that added coating.<br/>
<br/>
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1035468" src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/02/fresh-coat-astropad-chart.jpg" alt="" width="1839" height="1153" /><br/>
Since Fresh Coat has its own anti-reflective coating, it improves on Apple's included anti-reflective layer, cutting glare even further. With Fresh Coat, the iPhone's screen is easy to see in any lighting conditions, there's less eye strain, and if you use <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/ios-dark-mode/">Dark Mode</a>, it looks even darker.<br/>
<br/>
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1030686" src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2025/12/astropad-fresh-coat-description.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" /><br/>
If you don't have an &zwnj;iPhone 17&zwnj;, Fresh Coat can provide an iPhone 17-style display upgrade, mirroring Apple's own reflection-reducing display coating. Fresh Coat is available for all &zwnj;iPhone 17&zwnj; models, the <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-16/">iPhone 16</a> Pro and Pro Max, and the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max.<br/>
<br/>
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1030687" src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2025/12/astropad-fresh-coat-comparison-3.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" /><br/>
Astropad designed an installation process that's impossible to mess up, so you get perfect alignment on your iPhone without the hassle that comes with most screen protectors.<br/>
<br/>
We have an &zwnj;iPhone 17&zwnj; and a <a href="https://buy.geni.us/Proxy.ashx?TSID=3088&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0G6GRGCLW">Fresh Coat screen protector</a> for one lucky <em>MacRumors</em> reader.

		<description><![CDATA[On this week's episode of <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-latest-iphone-fold-ultra-rumors/id1602394741?i=1000760676622">The MacRumors Show</a>, we discuss all of the rumors surrounding Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone, now said to be called the "<a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/iphone-ultra/">iPhone Ultra</a>," which is shaping up to be a comprehensive redesign unlike anything the company has shipped before.<br/>
<br/>
<div class="center-wrap"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GMS1KnDnhy8?si=KxuZkjiHi3C_XOYD" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe><em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@themacrumorsshow?sub_confirmation=1">Subscribe to The MacRumors Show YouTube channel</a> for more videos</em></div><br/>
The &zwnj;iPhone Ultra&zwnj; is expected to launch <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/07/iphone-fold-september-launch/">alongside</a> the <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-18-pro/">iPhone 18 Pro</a> and &zwnj;iPhone 18 Pro&zwnj; Max this fall, though <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/03/26/iphone-fold-shipping-after-18-pro/">reports suggest it will ship after the Pro models</a>, potentially as late as December. <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/08/iphone-ultra-price-range-revealed/">Pricing is expected to start at over &#36;2,000</a>, making it the most expensive iPhone Apple has ever sold.<br/>
<br/>
The device will have a book-style, passport-shaped design with a 4:3 aspect ratio, wider than it is tall and unlike any foldable currently on the market. When closed, it will have a 5.5-inch outer display; when open, a 7.8-inch inner OLED panel takes over, making it just slightly smaller than the 8.3-inch <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-mini/">iPad mini</a>. <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/07/foldable-iphone-design-revealed/">According to design leaks from Instant Digital</a>, the device will measure just 4.5mm thick when unfolded, which would make it Apple's thinnest iPhone to date. The outer frame is said to be made of titanium for durability at that thinness, while the inner frame uses aluminum. The back features a glass finish with a shorter, iPhone Air-style camera plateau housing two horizontally arranged rear cameras.<br/>
<br/>
The same <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/07/foldable-iphone-design-revealed/">leak revealed</a> that volume buttons are relocated to the top edge of the device, aligned to the right. The inner display features a single punch-hole cutout resulting in a smaller <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/dynamic-island/">Dynamic Island</a>, while a <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/touch-id/">Touch ID</a> power button and Camera Control remain on the right edge. <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/03/11/iphone-fold-ipad-style-multitasking/">Reports indicate</a> the &zwnj;iPhone Ultra&zwnj; will support iPad-style multitasking and layouts for running apps side by side when unfolded, befitting its <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad/">iPad</a> mini-sized inner display. <em>Bloomberg</em>'s <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/07/iphone-fold-september-launch/">Mark Gurman</a> has described it as the "most significant overhaul in the iPhone's history."<br/>
<br/>
Achieving that ultra-thin form factor comes with tradeoffs, and the &zwnj;iPhone Ultra&zwnj; will be missing several features that iPhone users have come to expect, in some ways echoing the compromises Apple made with the <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-air/">iPhone Air</a>. The &zwnj;iPhone Air&zwnj; went without <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2025/03/01/iphone-17-air-three-missing-features/">stereo speakers, a SIM card slot, and multiple rear cameras</a> to achieve its 5.6mm frame; the &zwnj;iPhone Ultra&zwnj; faces similar constraints at an even more demanding 4.5mm. <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/06/iphone-fold-trial-production/">The ultra-thin chassis leaves no room for a triple-lens camera setup</a>, so the telephoto lens found on iPhone Pro models is absent, leaving just a dual 48-megapixel rear system. More significantly, <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2025/09/01/foldable-iphone-under-screen-touch-id-dismissed/">there is no space for the TrueDepth sensor array required for Face ID</a>, meaning the &zwnj;iPhone Ultra&zwnj; will rely on a side-button &zwnj;Touch ID&zwnj; module instead.<br/>
<br/>
Under the hood, the &zwnj;iPhone Ultra&zwnj; is expected to feature Apple's A20 chip paired with 12GB of RAM. <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/03/12/iphone-fold-these-three-storage-capacities/">Storage options are said to include</a> 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB, while color options could simply be black and white. Battery capacity is reportedly in the 5,400mAh to 5,800mAh range, which would put it among the largest ever in an iPhone despite its slim dimensions.<br/>
<br/>
The scale of Apple's production ambitions for the &zwnj;iPhone Ultra&zwnj; has already been tempered by manufacturing realities. <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2025/06/18/foldable-iphone-manufacturing-2025-start/">Kuo initially indicated</a> Apple placed orders for 15 to 20 million total foldable iPhones, though he noted demand would likely be limited due to the device's cost. By December, <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2025/12/18/foldable-iphone-shortages-into-2027/">Kuo warned</a> that early-stage yield and ramp-up challenges could mean smooth shipments may not occur until 2027, with potential shortages lasting through at least the end of 2026.<br/>
<br/>
The high asking price is expected to be a further constraint on volume: <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2025/12/09/idc-iphone-fold-sales-expectations/">IDC projects</a> the device will capture over 22% unit share of the foldables market in its first year, but that market remains a niche segment overall. The &zwnj;iPhone Air&zwnj;'s underwhelming sales performance, with <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2025/10/22/iphone-air-supply-chain-cuts/">Kuo reporting</a> suppliers cut production capacity by more than 80% after demand fell short of expectations, may serve as a cautionary tale for premium iPhone form-factor experiments.<br/>

		<description><![CDATA[Google has expanded Gmail's end-to-end encryption for Workspace users to iOS and Android, allowing mobile users to compose and read encrypted messages natively within the Gmail app for the first time.<br/>
<br/>
<img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/03/Gmail-General.jpg" alt="" width="1300" height="731" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1043233" /><br/>
The feature is part of Gmail's client-side encryption (CSE) offering, which until now was limited to desktop. According to <a href="https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2026/04/gmail-end-to-end-encryption-now-available-on-mobile-devices.html">Google's Workspace update</a>, users no longer need to download additional apps or use separate mail portals to handle encrypted email on mobile, and the experience is now built directly into the existing Gmail app on both platforms.<br/>
<br/>
Google says encrypted messages can be sent to any recipient regardless of their email provider. If the recipient uses Gmail, the message arrives as a standard email thread. If they use a different provider, they can read and reply via a secure browser interface without needing to install anything.<br/>
<br/>
The feature is available now for both Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains. Access requires an Enterprise Plus plan with either the Assured Controls or Assured Controls Plus add-on, which is Google's compliance-oriented tier aimed at enterprise and public sector customers. Admins must first enable Android and iOS clients through the CSE admin interface in the Admin Console before users can access the feature.<br/>
<br/>
To encrypt an individual message, users tap the lock icon within a compose window and select "additional encryption" before writing.<div class="linkback">Tag: <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/gmail/">Gmail</a></div><br/>This article, &quot;<a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/10/gmail-end-to-end-encryption-comes-to-ios/">Gmail End-to-End Encryption Comes to iOS for Workspace Users</a>&quot; first appeared on <a href="https://www.macrumors.com">MacRumors.com</a><br/><br/><a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/gmail-end-to-end-encryption-comes-to-ios-for-workspace-users.2480722/">Discuss this article</a> in our forums<br/><br/>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Evidence suggests Apple is preparing to bring Car Key support to Lexus vehicles, <em>MacRumors</em> has discovered.<br/>
<br/>
<img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2025/07/iPhone-Car-Key-Kia.jpg" alt="" width="1271" height="715" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1009335" /><br/>
Code references to Lexus were found in Apple's backend code, indicating the Toyota-owned luxury brand is being added to Apple's Car Key backend. The discovery mirrors how <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2025/07/06/iphone-car-key-vehicles-list/">Toyota's own Car Key support</a> was first uncovered, before the feature went live for the 2026 RAV4 in February. It is unclear when the feature will roll out to customers.<br/>
<br/>
Lexus already offers its own app-based Digital Key system, but unlike Apple Car Key, it requires an active connection to Toyota's servers to function and has not historically worked via Apple Wallet. Apple Car Key stores a digital key directly in the Wallet app and uses NFC for unlocking, with an Express Mode that allows access without authentication. On compatible devices, it continues to work for up to five hours after a phone's battery has died.<br/>
<br/>
Toyota confirmed to <a href="https://www.carscoops.com/2026/02/apple-car-key-finally-reaches-toyota-and-lexus-but-youll-pay-monthly-after-trial/"><em>Carscoops</em></a> in February that the 2026 Lexus ES will be the first Lexus model to receive the enhanced Digital Key functionality as part of a new-generation infotainment system, with the vehicle expected later this year. It is likely that the code references relate to that upcoming rollout.<br/>
<br/>
Car Key support has been expanding steadily across the industry. Vehicles from BMW, Genesis, Kia, Hyundai, Lotus, Mercedes, Volvo, and more already offer the feature, and a <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2025/07/06/iphone-car-key-vehicles-list/">full list is available on <em>MacRumors</em></a>.<div class="linkback">Tags: <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/carkey/">iPhone Car Keys</a>, <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/lexus/">Lexus</a></div><br/>This article, &quot;<a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/10/apple-car-key-support-coming-to-lexus/">Apple Car Key Support Coming to Lexus Vehicles</a>&quot; first appeared on <a href="https://www.macrumors.com">MacRumors.com</a><br/><br/><a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-car-key-support-coming-to-lexus-vehicles.2480718/">Discuss this article</a> in our forums<br/><br/>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you own a MacBook and work from home, it's easy to have your laptop plugged in for hours on end without thinking about the long-term battery life implications. Fortunately, Apple recently added a setting that lets you cap how high your Mac's battery charges, and if you own an iPhone that was released in the last few years, you may already be familiar with it. <br/>
<br/>
<img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/02/macos-26-4-charge-limit.jpg" alt="" width="1769" height="995" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1036511" /><br/>
Lithium-ion batteries generally degrade fastest when held at a high state of charge, which means keeping your iPhone or your Mac's battery at 100 percent accelerates the chemical wear that permanently reduces its actual capacity over time.<br/>
<br/>
To mitigate this on iPhone 15 and newer models, Apple lets you set a Charge Limit that prevents your device from charging beyond 80, 85, 90, 95, or 100 percent. And in macOS Tahoe 26.4, Apple has brought over the same Charge Limit feature to Macs for the first time.<br/>
<br/>
This option differs from Optimized Battery Charging, which learns your daily routine and delays charging past 80 percent until you're likely to need a full battery. Depending on your usage, however, your Mac may still regularly reach 100 percent.<br/>
<br/>
Setting a charge limit prevents that. Obviously a lower charge cap means less time you'll be able to work away from a power outlet. But if you mostly sit at a desk with your MacBook plugged in, the trade-off is worth the long-term battery gains. That said, if you regularly rely on your Mac away from power, then you may want to opt for a higher cap, which should hopefully still curb battery wear without leaving you completely stranded. Either way, here's how to set the feature:<br/>
<br/>
<h2>Set a MacBook Battery Charge Limit in macOS</h2><br/>
<ol><br/>
  <li>Click the Apple symbol () in your Mac's menu bar and open <strong>System Settings...</strong>.</li><br/>
  <li>Click <strong>Battery</strong> in the sidebar.</li><br/>
  <li>Click the <strong>i</strong> button next to <strong>Charging</strong>.</li><br/>
  <li>Drag the <strong>Charge Limit</strong> slider to your preferred level: 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 100%, then click <strong>Done</strong>.</li><br/>
</ol>That's all there is to it. Your Mac will now stop charging once it hits the level you chose, and Optimized Battery Charging will continue to work in the background unless you switch it off in the same panel.<br/>
<br/>
Note that even with Optimized Battery Charging set to a limit below 100%, your Mac will occasionally charge to 100% so that macOS can maintain accurate battery level estimates, but for the most part it will stick to the specified maximum level.<br/>This article, &quot;<a href="https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/macbook-charge-limit-setting-benefits/">Make Your MacBook Battery Last Longer With This Setting</a>&quot; first appeared on <a href="https://www.macrumors.com">MacRumors.com</a><br/><br/><a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/make-your-macbook-battery-last-longer-with-this-setting.2480715/">Discuss this article</a> in our forums<br/><br/>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OpenAI today added a <a href="https://x.com/OpenAI/status/2042295688323875316">new subscription tier</a>, which the company says is meant to support increasing Codex use. Codex is OpenAI's AI coding agent that's integrated into ChatGPT, and it competes with Anthropic's Claude Code.<br/>
<br/>
<img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2025/12/openai-logo-blue.jpg" alt="" width="1240" height="698" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1029335" /><br/>
The new &#36;100/month Pro tier provides 5x more Codex usage than the &#36;20/month ChatGPT Plus plan. OpenAI says that it is best for longer, high-effort Codex sessions. ChatGPT also has a &#36;200 Pro tier with a 20x higher usage allowance, and the &#36;100/month plan is a new middle-tier option. Both the &#36;100 and &#36;200 plans share the "Pro" name.<br/>
<br/>
Pro subscribers will have access to all Pro features, including the Pro model and unlimited access to Instant and Thinking models.<br/>
<br/>
To celebrate the launch of the new plan, OpenAI is increasing Codex usage for a limited time. Through May 31, customers who subscribe to the &#36;100/month Pro plan will get up to 10x usage of ChatGPT Plus on Codex.<br/>
<br/>
In addition to introducing the new plan, OpenAI is "rebalancing" Codex usage in Plus to support more sessions throughout the week, instead of longer sessions in a single day. OpenAI says the ChatGPT Plus plan is the best offer for steady, day-to-day usage of Codex, while the more expensive &#36;100/month plan is a "more accessible" upgrade path for heavier daily use.<br/>
<br/>
With the &#36;100 plan, OpenAI has pricing tiers similar to Anthropic. Anthropic has a &#36;20/month Pro plan, a Max 5x plan for &#36;100/month, and a Max 20x plan for &#36;200/month.<div class="linkback">Tags: <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/chatgpt/">ChatGPT</a>, <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/openai/">OpenAI</a></div><br/>This article, &quot;<a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/09/openai-pro-subscription-tiers/">OpenAI Adds New &#36;100/Month ChatGPT Subscription Tier for Heavier Codex Use</a>&quot; first appeared on <a href="https://www.macrumors.com">MacRumors.com</a><br/><br/><a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/openai-adds-new-100-month-chatgpt-subscription-tier-for-heavier-codex-use.2480709/">Discuss this article</a> in our forums<br/><br/>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Developer Bryan Keller was curious whether an old version of Apple's Mac operating system was capable of running on the Nintendo Wii after seeing Windows NT ported to the gaming device, so he decided to give it a try. He was able to get Mac OS X 10.0 Cheetah to operate on the Nintendo Wii, and he <a href="https://bryankeller.github.io/2026/04/08/porting-mac-os-x-nintendo-wii.html">shared a blog post</a> walking through the project.<br/>
<br/>
<img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/04/os-x-cheetah-wii.jpg" alt="" width="2000" height="1125" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1044652" /><br/>
The Wii uses a PowerPC 750CL processor, which is a newer version of the PowerPC 750CXe that Apple used in the G3 iBook and <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/imac/">iMac</a>, which is why Keller had a hunch that the process would be successful. Keller wrote a custom bootloader and eventually managed to load OS X, with the multi-step process detailed on his website.<br/>
<br/>
He had to patch the OS X kernel source code and compile a modified kernel binary, then write custom drivers so the kernel was able to read from the Wii SD card slot to boot into the file system. He also had to write a framebuffer driver for the OS X interface, bridge a color incompatibility between the Wii video hardware and OS X graphics code, and seek out decade-old OS X Cheetah USBFamily source code on IRC to get peripherals working.<br/>
<br/>
Keller was able to get the Mac OS X Cheetah installer running with a functional keyboard and mouse, turning the Wii into a usable system running OS X.<br/>
<br/>
Keller was invested enough in the project that he took the Wii with him on vacation to Hawaii so he could work on it. For those curious about how he solved the myriad problems required to get OS X running on a Wii, his <a href="https://bryankeller.github.io/2026/04/08/porting-mac-os-x-nintendo-wii.html">website is worth checking out</a>.

		<description><![CDATA[Apple's Mac shipments grew 9 percent during the first quarter of 2026, according to estimated shipment data shared this week <a href="https://www.idc.com/resource-center/press-releases/1q26-pc-top5/">by IDC</a>.<br/>
<br/>
<img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/01/m5-macbook-pro-purple.jpeg" alt="" width="2500" height="1406" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1031724" /><br/>
Apple's growth outpaced overall PC market growth of 2.5 percent thanks to the M5 <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macbook-pro/">MacBook Pro</a> that was released late last year. Apple also refreshed the <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macbook-air/">MacBook Air</a> and the higher-end &zwnj;MacBook Pro&zwnj; models, but those were just recently updated and wouldn't have impacted the Q1 2026 numbers much.<br/>
<br/>
Apple was the number four PC vendor in the world with 6.2 million Macs shipped, up from 5.7 million in the year-ago quarter. Lenovo, HP, and Dell were the top three PC vendors with 16.5, 12.1, and 10.3 million PCs shipped, respectively. Most vendors saw an increase in shipments during the quarter according to IDC, with the exception of HP.<br/>
<br/>
Apple had a 9.5 percent share of the global PC market during the quarter, up from 8.9 percent in the first quarter of 2025.<br/>
<br/>
According to IDC, growth during the quarter was fueled by concerns over rising component costs and new product introductions. Vendors that are able to secure access to memory will fare the best as PC shipments start to decline.<br/>
<br/>
IDC counts traditional PCs like desktops, notebooks, and workstations in its numbers, but it does not include tablets like the <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad/">iPad</a>. IDC's information is only an estimate, and Apple no longer provides details on the specific number of devices that it sells each quarter.<br/>
<br/>

		<description><![CDATA[Europe's largest Apple museum to date opened in early April, coinciding with Apple's 50th anniversary. The <a href="https://applemuseum.nl/">Apple Museum</a> spans 2,000 square meters and is located at the Wall Utrecht in the Netherlands.<br/>
<br/>
<img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/04/apple-museum-imac-wall.jpg" alt="" width="2000" height="1125" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1044632" /><br/>
The museum's creator, Ed Bindels, claims that the space features one of the largest Apple collections in the world, and it has several rooms dedicated to Apple's design. There is an eye-catching rainbow wall of <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/imac/">iMac</a> G3 machines, a recreation of the garage Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak worked in, an iPod display, and more.<br/>
<br/>
<img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/04/apple-museum-garage.jpg" alt="" width="2000" height="1125" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1044633" /><br/>
Everything from classic Macs to modern iPhones is included in the museum, and it showcases almost all of the devices that Apple has released from 1976 to 2026. Bindels says the museum tells a story, featuring different stages in Apple's development timeline.<br/>
<blockquote>"For example, there is a space that shows what happened after Steve Jobs left Apple and the company went through a difficult period. Visitors then walk through a 'Think Different' corridor into a circular room filled with colorful iMacs. This room symbolizes the beginning of a new chapter for Apple. Throughout the museum, we tell different stories through the products."</blockquote><br/>
Bindels teamed up with a group of volunteers to collect and restore devices, accessories, prototypes, manuals, and brand materials. Some of the devices in the museum are functional and are available for guests to use.<br/>

		<description><![CDATA[Apple on Thursday announced that it will be <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/09/three-apple-stores-permanently-closing/">permanently closing three of its retail stores</a> in the U.S. in June, and one of them was unionized.<br/>
<br/>
<div class="center-wrap"><em><img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/04/Apple-Towson-Town-Center.jpeg" alt="" width="2880" height="1612" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1044580" />Apple Towson Town Center in Maryland</em></div><br/>
<a href="https://www.apple.com/retail/towsontowncenter/">Apple Towson Town Center</a> in Towson, Maryland is one of the three stores being shuttered, with no replacement store planned. The staff at this location became Apple's first retail employees in the U.S. <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2022/06/18/apple-store-officially-joins-union/">to unionize</a> in 2022. They belong to the <a href="https://www.goiam.org/">International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers</a>' Coalition of Organized Retail Employees (IAM CORE), and they signed a collective bargaining agreement with Apple <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2024/07/29/apple-finalizes-first-retail-union-contract/">in 2024</a>.<br/>
<br/>
The other two locations that are permanently closing are <a href="https://www.apple.com/retail/trumbull/">Apple Trumbull</a> in Trumbull, Connecticut and <a href="https://www.apple.com/retail/northcounty/">Apple North County</a> in Escondido, California.<br/>
<br/>
Apple said employees at the Trumbull and North County stores will "continue their roles" at the company's nearby stores in each area, so transfer eligibility is guaranteed. Meanwhile, Apple said employees at the Towson store will be eligible to apply for open roles at Apple in accordance with their collective bargaining agreement, and it is unclear if everyone who applies will successfully secure a new position at the company.<br/>
<br/>
In a statement, Apple said it made the "difficult decision" to close all three stores due to "declining conditions" at the shopping malls in which they are located:<blockquote>At Apple, we are constantly striving to deliver exceptional service and great experiences for our customers. As we continue investing to expand and enhance our retail stores and offerings worldwide, we remain deliberate about evaluating our existing locations to ensure that we can meet our customers' needs in the best way. Following the departure of several retailers and declining conditions at Trumbull Mall, the Shops at North County, and Towson Town Center, we've made the difficult decision to close our stores at these locations. <br/>
<br/>
Our team members at Trumbull and North County will continue their roles at nearby Apple Retail stores. Towson employees will be eligible to apply for open roles at Apple in accordance with the collective bargaining agreement. We look forward to continuing to serve customers at nearby stores and on Apple.com, the Apple Store app, and at Apple Authorized Resellers and Service Providers throughout the states.</blockquote>Towson Town Center is indeed a struggling shopping mall that has lost many major retailers. Earlier this year, for example, Banana Republic, Madewell, and Tommy Bahama announced they were leaving the mall. In addition, local news outlets have reported that the area surrounding the mall is facing a rising crime rate in recent years.<br/>
<br/>
In a statement, the IAM Union said it is "outraged" by Apple's decision to close the Towson store and raised "serious concerns" of potential union busting:<blockquote>The IAM Union is outraged by Apple's decision to close its Towson, Md., store—the first unionized Apple retail location in the United States—and abandon both its workers and a community that relies on it for critical services and its unique access to public transit. Apple's claim that the collective bargaining agreement prevents relocation is simply false and raises serious concerns that this closure is a cynical attempt to bust the union. We are exploring all legal options and will work with elected officials and allies to hold Apple accountable. We stand with our IAM Coalition of Organized Retail Employees (IAM CORE) members and the community that depends on this store for essential access and support.</blockquote>IAM added that it is exploring all legal options and will work with elected officials and allies to hold Apple accountable for this decision.<br/>
<br/>
Apple has yet to respond to our follow-up questions regarding IAM's statement and the accusations of potential union busting.<br/>
<br/>
Apple Towson Town Center closes June 20, according to a source familiar with the matter.<br/>
<br/>
<strong>Update:</strong> According to Apple, the contract that the union agreed to states that in the event of a store closure, Apple would transfer or rehire employees if the company opened a new store within 50 miles of the current location at Towson Town Center. In any other circumstance, the union negotiated for employees to receive severance. Apple has no current plans to open a new store in the area, but if it were to do so within the next 18 months, the affected employees would have the right of first refusal.<div class="linkback">Tag: <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/apple-store/">Apple Store</a></div><br/>This article, &quot;<a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/10/unionized-apple-store-permanently-closing/">Apple is Closing a Unionized Store in the U.S. and the Union is &#039;Outraged&#039;</a>&quot; first appeared on <a href="https://www.macrumors.com">MacRumors.com</a><br/><br/><a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-is-closing-a-unionized-store-in-the-u-s-and-the-union-is-outraged.2480729/">Discuss this article</a> in our forums<br/><br/>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apple today updated Pixelmator Pro, the popular image editing app that <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2024/11/01/apple-acquires-pixelmator/">it purchased in 2024</a>. Pixelmator Pro includes RAW image support for more cameras, new templates, improved support for SVG file exports, new keyboard shortcuts, and more. Some of the features like the keyboard shortcuts are limited to the Creator Studio version of Pixelmator Pro.<br/>
<br/>
<img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2025/06/pixelmator-pro.jpg" alt="" width="2000" height="1125" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1008696" /><br/>
Pixelmator Pro has a template and mockup section, which includes new app screenshot options and devices to use for app mockups on Apple devices. Apple has added support for the latest <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-17/">iPhone 17</a> models.<br/>
<br/>
SVG files exported from Pixelmator Pro will have fewer issues when opened in Adobe Illustrator, and there is an option to touch and hold an image on the canvas to see before and after edits from Color Adjustments and Effects tools.<br/>
<br/>
The sidebar is customizable using the toolbar setting options, and there are keyboard shortcuts for changing layer opacity, selecting layers when using Select Subject, cycling through blend modes, and swapping between layers. Apple's release notes for the <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pixelmator-pro-edit-images/id6746662575">Creator Studio version</a> of Pixelmator Pro are below.<br/>
<blockquote><br/>
<ul><br/>
 	<li>Enjoy full support for compressed RAW images from Sony Alpha ILCE-7M5, FUJIFILM GFX 100S II, and FUJIFILM GFX 100RF cameras</li><br/>
 	<li>Work with High Efficiency (HE) and High Efficiency Star (HE*) RAW images from Nikon Z5II and Nikon Z50II cameras</li><br/>
 	<li>Open and edit RAW images from Panasonic LUMIX DC-S1RM2 cameras captured in High Resolution mode</li><br/>
 	<li>Discover the updated template and mockup categories, including App Screenshot, Bento Grid, and Devices, now featuring new iPhone 17 mockups</li><br/>
 	<li>Open SVG files exported from Pixelmator Pro in Adobe Illustrator with improved compatibility</li><br/>
 	<li>Touch and hold an image on the canvas to instantly compare before and after edits from Color Adjustments and Effects tools</li><br/>
 	<li>You can now customize the Pixelmator Pro Tools sidebar from the menu bar by choosing View &gt; Customize Tools</li><br/>
</ul></blockquote><br/>
<br/>
The <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad/">iPad</a> app was also updated with some of the keyboard shortcuts that were previously available in the Mac version of the app.<br/>
<blockquote><strong>New Keyboard Shortcuts</strong><br/>
<ul><br/>
 	<li>Press and hold the Option key when choosing Select Subject to base the selection on all layers in a document</li><br/>
 	<li>Easily change layer opacity using number keys 1 through 9 in all supported tools</li><br/>
 	<li>Cycle through layer blend modes using the Shift-Plus and Shift-Minus keyboard shortcuts in all supported tools</li><br/>
 	<li>Use the Command-J keyboard shortcut to duplicate and Command-Shift-J to cut and paste the selected area</li><br/>
 	<li>Use the Option-Comma and Option-Period keyboard shortcuts to quickly switch between selecting topmost and bottommost layers in a document</li><br/>
 	<li>Use the Space bar to play or pause video playback in documents containing video layers</li><br/>
</ul></blockquote><br/>
The non-Creator Studio <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pixelmator-pro/id1289583905?mt=12">version of the app</a> includes the same RAW image support and the new templates, but it lacks the other options that Apple added.<br/>
<br/>
Photomator, a photo editing sister app to Pixelmator Pro, was updated with the new RAW image support.<br/>
<br/>
Apple introduced Creator Studio earlier this year, and it incorporates apps like Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Pixelmator Pro, Keynote, Pages, and Numbers. Because many of these apps existed before Creator Studio was developed, Apple offers a Creator Studio version and a standard version, which can be confusing. Unlocking Creator Studio features requires a Creator Studio subscription, priced at &#36;12.99 per month or &#36;129 per year.<br/>
<br/>
For Pixelmator Pro, Creator Studio-exclusive features include a warp tool, apparel mockups, and a dedicated &zwnj;iPad&zwnj; app.<div class="linkback">Related Roundup: <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-17/">iPhone 17</a></div><div class="linkback">Tags: <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/apple-creator-studio/">Apple Creator Studio</a>, <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/pixelmator/">Pixelmator</a></div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: <a href="https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#iPhone-17">iPhone 17 (Neutral)</a></div><div class="linkback">Related Forum: <a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/iphone.99">iPhone</a></div><br/>This article, &quot;<a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/09/apple-pixelmator-pro-template-update/">Apple&#039;s Pixelmator Pro Update Brings iPhone 17 Mockups, Keyboard Shortcuts, and Expanded Camera Support</a>&quot; first appeared on <a href="https://www.macrumors.com">MacRumors.com</a><br/><br/><a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apples-pixelmator-pro-update-brings-iphone-17-mockups-keyboard-shortcuts-and-expanded-camera-support.2480700/">Discuss this article</a> in our forums<br/><br/>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apple today updated several apps designed for creators, including Logic Pro, Compressor, MainStage, Motion, Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Camera, Numbers, Keynote, and Pages. Apple has pushed updates for the iOS, iPadOS and macOS versions of the apps where applicable.<br/>
<br/>
<img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2025/05/Logic-Pro-Amplifies-Beat-Making-Feature.jpg" alt="" width="1960" height="1103" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1003164" /><br/>
Logic Pro includes a Step Reflex: Modern Garage Pack, featuring two-step beats, deep basslines, synths, and more. The update also includes an option to export a shareable file to preview how a spatial audio mix will sound when streamed on <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/apple-music/">Apple Music</a>.<br/>
<blockquote><strong>Preview of Dolby Atmos Mix</strong><br/>

Compressor, Motion, Final Cut Camera, Final Cut Pro, MainStage, Numbers, Keynote, and Pages have no new features, and the release notes only mention stability improvements and bug fixes.<br/>
<br/>
Apple's apps are included as part of the Creator Studio subscription that's priced at &#36;12.99 per month or &#36;129 per year, but apps like Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro can also be purchased standalone.

		<description><![CDATA[Apple today released <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macos-26/">macOS Tahoe</a> 26.4.1, a minor update to the &zwnj;macOS Tahoe&zwnj; operating system that came out last September. &zwnj;macOS Tahoe&zwnj; 26.4.1 comes two weeks after Apple <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/03/24/macos-tahoe-26-4-now-available/">launched macOS Tahoe 26.4</a>.<br/>
<br/>
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1006759" src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2025/06/macOS-Tahoe-26-Thumb-2.jpg" alt="" width="2500" height="1406" /><br/>
Mac users can download the new software by opening up the System Settings app and navigating to the Software Update section.<br/>
<br/>
According to Apple, &zwnj;macOS Tahoe&zwnj; 26.4.1 addresses an issue that could cause the M5 <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macbook-air/">MacBook Air</a> and M5 Pro/Max <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macbook-pro/">MacBook Pro</a> models to fail to join 802.1X Wi-Fi networks when using content filter extensions.<br/>

		<description><![CDATA[Apple today announced it will be permanently closing three retail stores in the U.S. in June, including <a href="https://www.apple.com/retail/trumbull/">Apple Trumbull</a> in Trumbull, Connecticut, <a href="https://www.apple.com/retail/northcounty/">Apple North County</a> in Escondido, California, and <a href="https://www.apple.com/retail/towsontowncenter/">Apple Towson Town Center</a> in Towson, Maryland.<br/>
<br/>
<div class="center-wrap"><em><img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/04/Apple-Towson-Town-Center.jpeg" alt="" width="2880" height="1612" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1044580" />Apple Towson Town Center in Maryland</em></div><br/>
Apple issued the following statement to <em>MacRumors</em>:<blockquote>At Apple, we are constantly striving to deliver exceptional service and great experiences for our customers. As we continue investing to expand and enhance our retail stores and offerings worldwide, we remain deliberate about evaluating our existing locations to ensure that we can meet our customers' needs in the best way. Following the departure of several retailers and declining conditions at Trumbull Mall, the Shops at North County, and Towson Town Center, we've made the difficult decision to close our stores at these locations. <br/>
<br/>
Our team members at Trumbull and North County will continue their roles at nearby Apple Retail stores. Towson employees will be eligible to apply for open roles at Apple in accordance with the collective bargaining agreement. We look forward to continuing to serve customers at nearby stores and on Apple.com, the Apple Store app, and at Apple Authorized Resellers and Service Providers throughout the states.</blockquote>All three of the stores are located in struggling shopping malls that have lost dozens of major retailers combined. Earlier this year, for example, Banana Republic, Madewell, and Tommy Bahama announced they were leaving Towson Town Center. Last month, the owner of Trumbull Mall defaulted on a &#36;150 million dollar loan and the property is now for sale. The mall now known as Mershops North County was also sold a few years ago amid declining conditions.<br/>
<br/>
Notably, staff at Apple Towson Town Center became Apple's first retail employees in the U.S. to <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2024/07/29/apple-finalizes-first-retail-union-contract/">unionize</a> in 2022. They belong to The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Coalition of Organized Retail Employees (IAM CORE).<br/>
<br/>
Apple said employees at the Trumbull and North County stores will continue their roles at nearby Apple Store locations, while employees at the Towson Town Center store will be eligible to apply for open roles at Apple in accordance with the collective bargaining agreement that they signed with Apple as part of their unionization.<br/>
<br/>
All three of the stores are temporarily closed today and re-open tomorrow.<br/>
<br/>
On the other hand, Apple has opened 11 new stores around the world since the start of 2025, including in the U.S. cities of Miami and Detroit. Apple has also remodeled or replaced dozens of stores over the past few years in cities such as Dallas, Pittsburgh, Montréal, and Tokyo, and it <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2024/12/08/apple-store-coming-to-saudi-arabia/">plans to open its first stores in Saudi Arabia</a>.<br/>
<br/>
Apple achieved an <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/01/29/apple-1q-2026-earnings/">all-time revenue record</a> last quarter, so these store closures are not indicative of the company's overall performance.<br/>
<br/>
<b>Update:</b> In a statement to <em>MacRumors</em>, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) Union said that it is "outraged" by Apple's decision to close the Towson store, and will be exploring legal options to hold Apple accountable.<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote>The IAM Union is outraged by Apple's decision to close its Towson, Md., store--<a href="https://www.goiam.org/news/imail/iam-core-first-u-s-unionized-apple-retail-store-workers-overwhelmingly-ratify-historic-labor-agreement-with-tech-giant/">the first unionized Apple retail location in the United States</a>--and abandon both its workers and a community that relies on it for critical services and its unique access to public transit. Apple's claim that the collective bargaining agreement prevents relocation is simply false and raises serious concerns that this closure is a cynical attempt to bust the union. We are exploring all legal options and will work with elected officials and allies to hold Apple accountable.

		<description><![CDATA[Apple is weighing two options for the <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-18-pro/">iPhone 18 Pro</a>'s <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/dynamic-island/">Dynamic Island</a>, and a final decision has yet to be made, according to the Weibo leaker known as <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/digital-chat-station/">Digital Chat Station</a>.<br/>
<br/>
<img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/01/Dynamic-Island-iPhone-18-Pro-Feature.jpg" alt="" width="2500" height="1406" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1032978" /><br/>
<br/>
In a <a href="https://weibo.com/6048569942/5285845265023662">new post</a> today, the leaker says that current supply chain feedback points to an A/B scenario: one option retains the existing screen mold from the <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-17-pro/">iPhone 17 Pro</a>, while the other introduces a significantly smaller "Mini &zwnj;Dynamic Island&zwnj;" enabled by moving the <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/mask-face-id/">Face ID</a> receiver and transmitter components beneath the display.<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote>Current feedback from the supply chain suggests an A/B testing scenario: one option retains the existing screen mold, while the other features a 'Mini Dynamic Island' with the Face ID receiver/transmitter (RX) components positioned beneath the display. If they opt for the latter, it feels like sales figures will once again be a non-issue.</blockquote><br/>
<br/>
The update is a slight shift from the leaker's <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/03/11/iphone-18-pro-may-not-have-a-smaller-dynamic-island-after-all/">previous position</a>. Earlier this year, Digital Chat Station claimed Apple was leaning toward reusing last year's design, which would have left the &zwnj;Dynamic Island&zwnj; largely unchanged. <br/>
<br/>
The report was a dissenting voice against a body of reporting, including from <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/02/24/iphone-18-pro-smaller-dynamic-island/"><em>Bloomberg</em>'s Mark Gurman</a>, DSCC's Ross Young, and <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/01/20/iphone-18-pro-leak-smaller-dynamic-island/">multiple other Weibo leakers</a>, suggesting the &zwnj;iPhone 18 Pro&zwnj; would feature a &zwnj;Dynamic Island&zwnj; roughly 35% smaller than on the &zwnj;iPhone 17 Pro&zwnj;. <br/>
<br/>
<br/>
In a follow-up post, the leaker also addressed the &zwnj;iPhone 18 Pro&zwnj;'s rear design. He said that the rectangular plateau design introduced with the &zwnj;iPhone 17 Pro&zwnj; will carry over unchanged, but the back will see "minor adjustments to the body materials and design details.” This is likely a reference to previously rumored changes aimed at achieving a more uniform look between the aluminum unibody frame and glass cutout for wireless charging. <br/>
<br/>
The &zwnj;iPhone 18 Pro&zwnj; and &zwnj;iPhone 18 Pro&zwnj; Max are expected to be announced this fall alongside Apple's <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-fold/">first foldable iPhone</a>.<div class="linkback">Related Roundup: <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-18-pro/">iPhone 18 Pro</a></div><div class="linkback">Tags: <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/digital-chat-station/">Digital Chat Station</a>, <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/dynamic-island/">Dynamic Island</a></div><br/>This article, &quot;<a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/09/apple-undecided-on-iphone-18-pro-dynamic-island/">Apple Apparently Still Undecided on iPhone 18 Pro Dynamic Island</a>&quot; first appeared on <a href="https://www.macrumors.com">MacRumors.com</a><br/><br/><a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-apparently-still-undecided-on-iphone-18-pro-dynamic-island.2480694/">Discuss this article</a> in our forums<br/><br/>]]></description>
