With iOS 27, Apple is introducing a new version of its system-level RAW image processing engine that uses machine learning to greatly improve detail and reduce noise, including when reprocessing older RAW photos.

I’ve been capturing lots of spacial content on my iPhone of my dog and other special moments, and although I don’t have or could afford a Vision Pro, did think at some point it’d be great to view that content in the way it’s intended.

However given that hardware hasn’t taken off and unlikely to be replaced in its current form, I’m interested to know what people think will give us the opportunity to view spacial content in the future? I loved the idea of seeing those videos in a more immersive way but can’t think - outside of Vision Pro - how that could be done?

>Apple will likely "repeat the iPhone X story" by unveiling its foldable iPhone at the same time as the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, but starting foldable iPhone pre-orders at a later date, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

>Kuo today said manufacturing challenges have limited early production of the foldable iPhone, which will reportedly be named iPhone Ultra. As a result, he believes the device may launch at some point after the iPhone 18 Pro models.

Hey all! I'm a solo developer and just released GPS Mapper after about a year and a half of work!

The idea started with a simple itch: I wanted a way to see which areas I'd actually explored on a map. That turned into 1 of the 6 core mapping features, you lay a grid over any region and watch the cells fill in as you move through them. From there it grew into a full mapping app for hikers, explorers, and anyone who wants to make their own map.

It's built natively for iOS 26, and I tried to make it feel at home on the platform (Liquid Glass UI, Apple Health/Fitness, iCloud sync, proper localization).

App Overview

Map elements:

• Trails: record GPS tracks + playback
• Grids: lay a tiled region over an area and watch cells fill in as you pass through them (rectangular or freeform)
• Pins: custom icons, colors, etc.
• Routes: built from waypoints
• Ranges: two-point distance measurements
• Image Overlays: place photos as overlays on the map

  Beyond the map:

• Live map dashboard with configurable metrics
• Photos on the map
• Friend location sharing
• Analytics dashboard
• Grouping and tagging for organizing your elements
• Apple Health / Fitness integration
• iCloud sync
• Import and export of your data
• Configurable units
• UI customization options
• Built-in tutorials
• 8 languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese

and much more.

Pricing:

• Free: element caps, with some premium features locked
• Premium: $4.99/month or $29.99/year (2 week free trial)

Figured I'd share my release here, as GPS Mapper has a plethora of use cases, and you may find some real use from it :)

Let me know if you have any thoughts about the app!

Most document scanner apps somehow became giant “productivity ecosystems” packed with subscriptions, accounts, popups, and way too many features.

I just wanted something fast.

So I built Stacked — a free document scanner focused on speed, clean UX, and actually making scanning feel modern.

With Stacked you can:

• Scan receipts, notes, contracts, IDs, handwritten pages, etc.
• Auto-detect and crop documents
• Extract text from scans (OCR)
• Generate AI summaries from extracted text
• Export clean PDFs/images
• Organize documents without clutter
• Use everything in a lightweight, minimalist interface

One thing I obsessed over was the camera/scanning experience itself because a surprising number of scanner apps still feel outdated or slow despite being apps people use constantly.

I wanted Stacked to feel more like a polished modern utility than a “business suite.”

Also: the app is free. No weird watermark spam or forcing you through 9 screens just to scan one page.

Would genuinely love feedback from people here:

• What’s your biggest frustration with document scanner apps?
• What feature makes you keep one installed?
• Would AI summaries/text extraction actually be useful to you?

A new iOS 27 framework will help apps fight back against social engineering scams as they unfold via voice calls, text messages, emails, and more.

Apple is introducing a framework that runs mostly on-device, analyzing “interaction patterns, timing, context, and basic sensor data.”

If it detects signs that a user may be getting coached through a scam, Trust Insights can assign a medium or high risk level, allowing the app to add warnings, delays, or additional verification steps.

Trust Insights doesn’t inspect the contents of Photos, Messages, or Mail. Instead, it analyzes behavioral signals on-device, immediately discards the underlying data, and sends only a single output value to Apple’s servers. That value may then be combined with information from the user’s Apple Account and checks for unusual activity before Trust Insights returns its final assessment of the suspected scam.

The engine has been ported via Fable but it was a guided port not some zero shot AI slop

+ drop a link I’m curious!

My journey started when I got my MacBook Neo. I was expecting 3-4 h of battery life, hot thermals, and bad screen, underpowered chip, just like my 900€ MSI.
And I have one thing to say : oh boy was I wrong : this thing is incredibly powerful and will be enough for 85% of people. You can even game on it !

Then, I got a (lightning) Magic Mouse, no I didn't pay for it ( thank god ).
I was helping a teacher for his school program, it was his first year at my school. And he gave me his old Magic Mouse because the battery was dead so it needed replacement, and I'm pretty good a tech repairs.

My iPhone 16 : My MSI laptop failed and they didn't had it in stock anymore so the fully refunded me ( in store credit ).
So I bought an iPhone 16 ( 128gb, yes I know, but they didn't have a 256gb version ) and an AirTag because I ALWAYS loose my backpack.

Then, I got my iPad that my school lends to students for 4 year ( it's French school system ) and I took care of it like crazy, I never dropped it, always charged it a 80%.
And when it finally became mine, it was in pristine condition, 93 bh, no scratches on the screen, no dent on the chassis.

What's next ?
I'm waiting to find a good deal on a A-W 10 or 11 with dead battery so I can repair it for 120€ full repaired.
AirPods ? I'm not really interested because it's unfixable, even apple don't repair them, they just send new one.

Sorry for my grammar, no ai was used to correct the text, that's just French trying to write in English.

✨ Apple Intelligence summary: Development of Apple’s rumoured camera-equipped AirPods Pro has been halted, according to leaker “Kosutami.” The project, which has been in development for around four years, was nearing completion and had reached an advanced testing stage. The built-in cameras are said to feed visual information to Siri for AI purposes, not for taking photos or videos.
