Apple is adding tens of thousands of recipes to News+
Apple is set to give News+ subscribers more than a soupçon of fresh material. When iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4 arrive in April, the company will add a Food section to News+.
This will include tens of thousands of recipes, along with stories curated by Apple News editors about healthy eating, restaurants, kitchen essentials and so on. Apple says "the world's top food publishers" — including Allrecipes, Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, Good Food and Serious Eats — will supply the recipes and stories.
One notable omission from that list is The New York Times, which has a separate subscription for its famed Cooking app. As such, it seems Apple is trying to go toe-to-toe with one of the country's papers of record on another front after it added games for News+ subscribers. Of course, there are plenty of other places you can go on the web for recipes and cooking tips.
Non-News+ subscribers will have access to a limited number of stories and recipes. An appetizer, if you will, to encourage folks to sign up for the full buffet.
New recipes will be added to the Recipe Catalog every day. You'll be able to browse, search and filter the library. Apple says the format makes it easy to review the lists of ingredients and directions. There's an option to view step-by-step instructions in full screen mode (which looks a bit like a lyrics screen in Apple Music). You can also save recipes for offline access, which could be useful for meal planning if you like to go off-grid once in a while.

Apple rumors reveal 8 products we could still see in 2025
We currently sit in that glorious period between Apple's WWDC and the tech giant's autumn iPhone release, which means there's a lull in the action. Where's there's a lull, there is speculation, and while we're pretty certain the iPhone 17 is coming — along with everything announced at WWDC 2025 — there may still be some things in the pipeline for Apple. The below products are mostly rumors until Apple actually announces them. After all, delays happen and that's certainly been true of Apple products the last few years. The Vision Pro, for instance, was delayed multiple times before its eventual release in 2024. In any case, if you're fiending for some Apple tech, late 2025 may be the time for you as there are plenty of products that may come out by then. Apple Watch Series 11, Ultra 3, and new SE When Apple released the Apple Watch 10, it was a mild disappointment for many, since it was essentially the same design as earlier versions but with upgraded internals. This was despite rumors that some redesigns were coming. Additionally, the Apple Watch 10 launched alone, with the SE and Apple Watch Ultra not receiving upgrades. According to rumors, that may change this year. For starters, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 may be the first watch in the series to feature Apple Intelligence. In addition, it's rumored that the Apple Watch 11 and a new Apple Watch SE are in the works. For the new SE model, Apple has reportedly run into production issues so it may be delayed another year. However, until September's alleged release date, we won't know for sure. AirPods Pro 3 Apple launched the AirPods 4 in late 2024 with some neat new features like a built-in hearing test along with hearing aid features. In 2025, it seems like the AirPods Pro is getting its turn in the spotlight with the rumored debut of the AirPods Pro 3. The series hasn't been updated since the AirPods Pro 2 released in 2022, so it's definitely due for an upgrade. For the AirPods Pro 3, the rumored upgrades are about what you'd expect. Apple is reportedly improving audio quality and active noise cancelling, while also inheriting the hearing aid features from the AirPods 4. It's likely getting a new chip to improve performance across the board and may borrow some design elements from the AirPods 4, such as the capacitive touch pairing button. Apple TV 4K The Apple TV 4K will be the first Apple TV device released since the prior generation dropped in 2022. The current model is powered by an A15 bionic chip, the same one that's found in the iPhone 14, so it's probably due for an upgrade. Per rumors, the upgraded model will likely sport an A17 Pro, A18, or A19 chip, which should boost performance quite a bit. The rumors also say that the device will support Apple Intelligence, and since that requires 8GB of memory, that means the amount of memory will double from the current model's 4GB. Additional Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports that Apple may be working on Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 versions of its wireless chips. If that upgrade makes its way into the Apple TV 4K it should help keep the product relevant if the next generation takes three more years to drop. HomePod mini 2 Much like the Apple TV 4K and AirPods Pro 2, Apple hasn't launched a new HomePod mini in a long time. Unlike those other two, it's been an even longer five years since its last release. That could change in 2025 with the rumored release of the HomePod mini 2. Rumors of this started with Mark Gurman's Power On newsletter, where he said that the new device should be coming by the end of the year. Not too much is known about the mini 2. Allegedly, it's coming with an Apple-designed Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip, which will support Wi-Fi 6E. Nothing else has been confirmed, but, after five years, it feels safe to assume that Apple will pop-in a different processor and do something to improve sound quality. New colors aren't outside the realm of possibility either. Apple's smart speaker with a display Speaking of HomePods, Cupertino has allegedly been working on a smart display similar to the Google Nest Hub that is basically a speaker with a screen. This new device would blend the HomePod, iPad, and Apple TV tech together and push Apple more into the smart home space alongside Amazon and Google. It's codenamed the J490, at least according to rumors. Of all the products on this list, the smart display is the least likely to come out in 2025. It was originally supposed to be introduced in March 2025, per Mark Gurman, but software issues delayed the product. A late 2025 release date is expected but rumors suggest the company could also wait until 2026. AirTag 2 The original AirTag was a piece of tech that helped launch a whole industry of trackers. AirTags launched in 2021, and despite being a little boring, they were found to be supremely useful for finding lost items. The upgraded AirTag 2 is expected to launch alongside the iPhone 17 later this year. For the record, we don't know how Apple will name the AirTag 2 and we're just calling it that for simplicity's sake. The rumors came from 9to5mac and just like the HomePod mini 2, we still don't know a ton of the details. The new tag will apparently be compatible with iOS 18.6, so it'll work with older iPhones. It's also expected to have better connectivity, longer range, better security, and improved battery life. It'll allegedly come in an 'anti-tamper' form factor, which means it might have a rechargeable battery, but that hasn't been confirmed. We'll know more in September if the rumors are true. M4 Mac Pro With the launch of the new Mac Studio, that leaves the Mac Pro as the only device left in Apple's Mac product lineup without the company's M4 chip. That is likely to change this year. Per Mark Gurman, both the Mac Studio and Mac Pro were on pace for a 2025 release. Since the Mac Studio did, in fact, release in 2025, it stands to reason that the Mac Pro is also coming. Gurman says that it should arrive in the 'second half' of 2025, so anytime between now and the end of the year. With this upgrade, it'll be the first time that Apple has ever brought its latest chip to the entire family of Mac products. That's about the long and short of the rumors about the Mac Pro. We haven't seen much in terms of expected prices or specs, but we imagine that the specs will be good and the price will be expensive. Devices with the M5 chip Per MacRumors, several devices are slated to launch in 2025 with the upcoming M5 chip. These devices include a new iPad Pro, an upgraded version of the Vision Pro, a new MacBook Pro, a new Mac mini, and a new iMac. These rumors stem from a few assumptions. For instance, Apple released the new MacBook Pro, iMac, and Mac mini simultaneously, so it's likely that the company will do so again. The Vision Pro is expected to get the new chip but remain otherwise identical, so it's more of a refresh than a new product. Finally, the iPad Pro was redesigned just last year with an OLED display and a thinner design, so it's likely this year's release will mostly focus on the M5 chip. More from Apple While the list above is everything we could find, it is by no means exhaustive. We focused mostly on rumored devices that are not the iPhone 17, since everyone fully expects it to be released. In any case, nearly all of these releases are allegedly slated for late 2025, so if they're going to make it to market, there's a high chance we'll learn more about them around the same time the iPhone 17 launches.

Apple Suddenly Releases New iOS 26 Public Beta For iPhone 11 Users
Apple's latest software release left out three iPhones when it happened this week — and it took a day for this problem to be resolved. Here's what happened. Apple releases iOS 26 public beta for iPhone 11. Apple released the first public beta version of iOS 26, the software which will go on general release in September on plenty of iPhones, including current models like the iPhone 16 Pro Max and this fall's upcoming iPhone 17 series. The compatibility for the new software stretches all the way back to the iPhone 11, first released in late 2020. Or it should have done, but three phones were left out of the release: iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. This is the full list of compatible phones. As spotted by MacRumors commenting on Friday, 'Apple did not seed the iPhone 11 version of the iOS 26 public beta yesterday, but it's out now. The update has a build number of 23A5297n, which is different from the 23A5297m public beta that other testers received,' it reported. The build number is almost the same, suggesting there's very little difference between the two, but whatever the changes, they're there to suit the 2020 iPhones. It seems there was an issue for those models in the beta, which has now been fixed. 'Fixed: On iPhone 11, if you have organized apps into folders on your Home Screen, you might only see the leftmost column of the grid of apps when opening a folder. The other two columns in the folder do not display the app icons, preventing users from launching those apps,' Apple said. This is one of those small-but-highly-irritating problems, so Apple did the right thing, I'd suggest, to hold off releasing it. For this to be the blemish on iPhone 11 users' first encounter with iOS 26 would have been a shame. A new developer beta has also been released so that developers using iPhone 11 handsets can see the benefit, too. Although the first public beta has seemed pretty solid, it's a reminder that there can be issues, and that it's worth not installing iOS 26 on your daily driver just yet, but rather put its all-new design, extra features and more to the test on a secondary device instead.

Pixel 10 Pro Price Leak Confirms Google's Bold Decisions
Pixel 9 Pro XL As Google prepares to announce the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro in late August, some of the biggest questions have been about the price of the new handsets. With flagship phones from the likes of Apple and Samsung regularly pushing base models into four-figure prices, how competitive will Google's pricing decisions be and what do they say about its strategy? Pixel 10 And Pixel 10 Pro Pricing We have European pricing across the four main models, which are broadly similar to the pricing of the Pixel 9 family. The Pixel 10 starts at €899 for 128 GB, the Pixel 10 Pro at €1,099 also for 128 GB, and the Pixel 10 Pro XL listings drop the 128 GB option to start at €1,299 for 256 GB. Finally, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold starts at € 1,899 for 256 GB. Both the Pro XL and the Pro Fold, sitting at the top of the portfolio, do not have 128 GB versions listed. That's not to say the 128 GB option is definitely gone—perhaps these will be available only through the Google Store, region-locked, or as network exclusives. We shall see during the Made By Google launch event scheduled for Aug. 20. By echoing 2024's pricing across the range, Google offers us a glimpse into the wider strategy it is using to address both the consumer market and its Android Partners. Pixel 10 And Pixel 10 Pro Strategy The steady approach to pricing—which is arguably mirrored by the incremental updates to the physical design of the Pixel 10 family over the Pixel 9—shows Google's confidence in the market. There may be new features added to the hardware and software of the Pixel package, but the value proposition has not changed; so neither has the price. That could be a quiet victory on retail shelves. There's an expectation that the price of the new model will rise compared to the existing model. Because the counterpoint to this is that if Google did lift the prices on the Pixel models, then the difference between its smartphones and the likes of the iPhone Pro or Galaxy S Ultra models would be more apparent; the increased performance of the latter would be noticeable, and the value conscious consumer would look at the closer pricing and decide that the jump to a more recognisable phone brand would be easier to make. Yet there is something more for the price-conscious buyer. Because of the lower starting price for each model, moving up to a model with increased storage feels like good value, in part due to keeping the Pixels lower than the entry-level pricing of the aforementioned Apple and Samsung devices. Finding Value In The Pixel 10 And Pixel 10 Pro Pricing for the Pixel 10 Pro and the rest of the Pixel 10 lineup is familiar. Google continues to offer a flagship experience at a price that will be perceived as lower than that of its competitors' flagships. Part of me wonders if this is because the real value in the Pixel family for Google is in the software and subscription services such as Google One and Google Gemini.
