macOS 27 just fixed the most annoying problem for third-party HDR displays - 9to5Mac

macOS 27 Fixes the Most Annoying Problem for Third-Party HDR Displays

macOS 27 is reported to fix the most annoying problem for third-party HDR displays, ending a long-standing frustration for Mac users with non-Apple monitors.
The claim stems from hands-on testing of Dell's 32-inch UltraSharp U3226Q, an OLED monitor whose picture quality was described as impressive, especially with HDR enabled.
Testing was still in progress at the time of publication, so a complete verdict on the monitor has not yet been delivered.

iPhone Duo: Everything you should know about Apple's first foldable - Digital Trends (via www.digitaltrends.com)

iPhone Duo's Foldable Design and Smart Take AI Take On the Group Selfie

Engadget reports the iPhone Duo's foldable form factor allows for more placement options when shooting photos.
The coverage highlights new camera features on the device, including a "Smart Take" AI photo capturing feature referenced in the article URL.
A folding body could let the phone rest on a surface, freeing subjects from arm's-length framing and reducing wide-angle distortion.
AI-assisted capture typically targets timing and composition problems, which matter more when the camera is far from the photographer.

MacBook Air M5 Drops to $1,099 as October Prime Day Undoes Apple's Price Hike

Amazon's October Prime Day has cut the 13-inch MacBook Air M5 with 512GB of storage from $1,299 to $1,099, a roughly 15 percent discount and the first such drop in months.
The 15-inch MacBook Air M5 with 512GB is reduced from $1,499 to $1,299, adding a larger display, two extra speakers for six total, and two additional GPU cores.
The discounts effectively offset the price increases Apple introduced in June, which had raised the entry point for the MacBook Air line.
The M5 generation improves processor and storage speed without flashy new design features, while retaining long battery life, a bright screen, and strong speakers.

Apple changes full-disk access permissions to curb abuse from AI agents

Apple Tightens macOS Full Disk Access to Curb Rogue AI Agents

Apple announced Friday it is changing macOS Full Disk Access settings to stop third-party developers from misusing the permission to reach data such as message histories.
The move follows a column by Jason Aten, who said Meta's AI agent Muse sent an unsolicited notification referencing a private Apple Messages thread he never authorized Muse to read.
Meta CTO David Singleton said Muse's Messages integration is opt-in and requires both macOS Full Disk Access and an in-app Messages connector to be enabled.
macOS security expert Patrick Wardle questioned that reasoning, noting Full Disk Access lets an app read virtually any non-root file, from browsing history to chats.

iPhone 18 Pro Max SOS on AT&T? eSIM & No Service Fixes | ZEERA (via zeerawireless.com)

Apple Confirms Hardware Bug Behind iPhone 18 Pro Max SOS Mode on AT&T

Apple has acknowledged a hardware issue affecting iPhone 18 Pro Max connectivity on AT&T, per an Engadget report.
Affected owners report the handset dropping into SOS mode, where emergency calling may work but normal cellular service does not.
Because the fault is hardware-based rather than software-based, standard troubleshooting such as network resets or eSIM reinstalls is unlikely to resolve it.
Apple has outlined which owners qualify for a replacement device instead of a repair or software patch.

Apple will update Mac permissions to protect users from AI agents accessing their data

Apple to Add Finer Full Disk Access Controls as AI Agents Spread

Apple is preparing updates to Macs' Full Disk Access setting so users are explicitly asked before a third-party app is granted access to a specific part of their system.
Apple attributes the change to the rise of AI agents such as Meta's Muse, which recently surpassed 5 million downloads, and the risks of handing over full access to private data.
Full Disk Access currently lets apps cover functions spanning email, messages and file systems in one request, unlike the piecemeal permission prompts used for camera or audio access.
Inc. columnist Jason Aten found that Meta's Muse had synced his local Messages database and used it as task context, though he says he denied permission; Meta says that would be impossible if permission was declined.

Apple @ Work: The enterprise needs to kill the SSO tax, and it's an opportunity for Apple - 9to5Mac

The Enterprise SSO Tax Is Draining Budgets — and Apple Has an Opening

9to5Mac's Apple @ Work column argues the enterprise needs to kill the SSO tax and that the frustration it creates is an opportunity for Apple.
The Apple @ Work series is presented by Mosyle, described as a single Apple Unified Platform for managing Apple devices.
The SSO tax refers to vendors charging extra for single sign-on, either through higher tiers or standalone add-ons.
Organizations running many SaaS tools absorb the cost repeatedly, fragmenting identity budgets and weakening credential hygiene.
