🎥 If you use FaceTime, please wear clothes

😯 It has been discovered that FaceTime in the iOS 26 beta suspends video calls if there is a naked person in the frame. The suspended call can either be resumed or ended.

🤔 This feature was originally designed for children's accounts. It is unclear whether it will work for all accounts or if this is simply a beta bug.

iOS 26 is expected to be released in September.

🤑 IT specialists have become more expensive than football players

💰 Zuckerberg has finally lured Apple's head of AI development away for a crazy $200 million, reports Mark Gurman.

📰 Ruoming Peng, head of Apple's foundation models team, has joined Meta's new team, Superintelligence Labs.

🥴 Apple did not try to beat Meta's offer. Even Tim Cook's annual bonus is almost three times less.

📰 Apple's design team moves under Tim Cook's control

ℹ️ Apple just announced that Chief Operating Officer Jeff Williams will step down at the end of this month. He will be replaced by Sabih Khan, who currently serves as Senior Vice President of Operations.

📆 But what's most interesting is that Williams has also led the design team since 2019. This happened after Apple's chief designer, Jony Ive, left the company.

🙄 Williams will officially retire at the end of this year. After that, the design team will report directly to Tim Cook.

📰 The entire @iPhone 17 lineup was shown in one photo

📱 Insider Majin Bu compared the devices with each other.

🔎 The base iPhone 17 is almost identical to the 16th, and there will be no Plus version this year. In the iPhone 17 Pro, the signature Apple logo has been “moved” due to the new camera block — now it is not in the center of the body, but lower.

🆕 The iPhone 17 Air stands out. It has a unique camera module and is almost twice as thin as other smartphones.

There are about two months left until the release. Looking forward to!

🤳 The foldable iPad has been suspended, but the foldable iPhone is coming

It is already at the first stage of internal testing.

📰 According to Digitimes, Apple was considering releasing a foldable iPad or similar device with a diagonal screen size of 18.8 inches, along with a foldable iPhone. However, it has now decided to suspend development of the large foldable device due to manufacturing difficulties, increased costs, particularly in terms of flexible display technology, and relatively low demand for such large foldable devices.

📆 Meanwhile, the foldable iPhone, scheduled for launch in the second half of 2026, is already at the Prototype 1 (P1) stage, which is the first of three stages (followed by P2 and P3) in which Apple and its partners are creating fully functional devices. If everything goes according to plan, the project could complete full prototype testing by the end of 2025 and move on to the engineering verification testing (EVT) phase in 2026.

🍎 Apple is moving

👂 Sonny Dickson shared a fresh layout of the Apple logo on the back of the iPhone 17 Pro, which he says will be slightly lower. An updated MagSafe ring design is also expected.

🧲 This coincides with insider information from Majin Bu. He reports that the new MagSafe layout in the iPhone 17 Pro will require a slight recalibration of the magnetic field to prevent minor interference.

📰 Initial feedback from accessory manufacturers indicates that existing MagSafe accessories will remain compatible. Many have already begun manufacturing new MagSafe rings with new holes to highlight the shifted logo.

🎙 Apple unveiled a brand-new state-of-the-art studio space in LA

It is dedicated to artist-driven content, innovation in audio, and deeper fan connection.

📰 As Apple Music marks its 10th anniversary this year, Apple unveils its most ambitious creative project to date: a brand-new state-of-the-art studio space in Los Angeles. A three-story, over-15,000-square-foot (1393 m²) facility that includes: radio studios, soundstage, Spatial Audio mixing room, photo and social media lab and more.

🎵 Apple Music is also launching Replay All Time, a special version of the annual Replay experience that allows listeners to see and stream the songs they’ve played the most since joining Apple Music (sometimes it can be surprising and even scary what music you listened to back to 2016, for example).

🤪 Siri – Apple's unfortunate 'child'

📰 Apple is considering using AI technology from Anthropic PBC or OpenAI to power a new version of Siri, potentially sidelining its own in-house models.

🧐 The company has talked with both Anthropic and OpenAI about using their large language models for Siri, and has asked them to train versions of their models that could run on Apple's cloud infrastructure for testing.

🤔 If Apple moves forward with using third-party models, it would represent a significant reversal and an acknowledgment that the company is struggling to compete in generative AI, and could allow Apple to offer Siri features on par with AI assistants on Android phones.
