  • Discover the New Ringtone Hidden in iOS 26 Beta — Listen to It Now on MacRumors

    Apple has included a hidden new ringtone in iOS 26, which is an alternative version of the Reflection ringtone. This particular tone has served as the default ringtone since the release of the iPhone X in 2017. Currently, this new ringtone can only be found within the code of the first developer beta of iOS 26, making it unavailable in the ringtone selection of the Settings app for the time being.

    There is no confirmation if Apple plans to officially release this ringtone in subsequent beta versions of iOS 26. Recently, the ringtone was highlighted on social media by the account @8810cfw, with additional confirmation from MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris, who suggested that it might debut with the upcoming iPhone 17 models later this year. In related developments, iOS 26 is expected to improve the process of setting audio files as custom ringtones, removing the need for the GarageBand app.

    This update is anticipated to be available to all users by September. In the broader context of Apple news, Chase has recently introduced new perks for its Sapphire Reserve credit card, including complimentary subscriptions to Apple TV+ and Apple Music. Additionally, rumors are swirling about a refresh for the AirPods Pro, with hints of new features hidden in Apple’s code.

    The upcoming foldable iPhone, often referred to as the “iPhone Fold,” is also generating buzz, particularly regarding its camera capabilities. Furthermore, Apple is expected to release the next-generation iPhone 17 lineup, along with the Apple Watch Ultra 3, later this year, as new details continue to emerge.

  • Stage Manager: A Game-Changer for Mac Users

    I have been using my M4 iPad Pro since its launch and have owned every iPad Pro that came before it, dating back to the very first model. My journey with the iPad began with the iPad 4, and I’ve been utilizing my device daily.

    Surprisingly, until today, I had no idea about the Stage Manager feature. My primary use of the iPad has been for streaming video on demand (SVOD), handling occasional work-related tasks, reading PDFs, and managing my emails.

    However, with my newfound understanding of true multitasking provided by Stage Manager, I am completely astonished by the capabilities of the iPad. It might seem trivial, but I feel a sense of wonder that I didn’t realize this incredible feature was part of my device all along.

    The ability to effectively manage multiple tasks simultaneously can really enhance productivity and transform how I engage with my iPad. Having discovered this functionality, I am excited about exploring all the possibilities it offers.

    I never imagined that I could maximize my iPad’s potential in such a significant way. While it may seem like an obvious feature to some, I am simply grateful for this revelation and eager to put Stage Manager to good use in my daily activities.

  • iOS 17 Night Standby Mode Disconnects After 10-15 Seconds: Join the Discussion on MacRumors Forums

    Hello,

    I’ve recently observed that when my iPhone 14 Pro is in Standby Mode at night, the display turns off after about 10 to 15 seconds. I’m curious if this is typical behavior for this mode. Shouldn’t Standby Mode continuously display information? During daytime usage, I’ve noticed a significant contrast.

    In the daytime, the display in Standby Mode remains active for a much longer period or doesn’t turn off at all. This inconsistency has caught my attention and made me question if my settings are correct. I’ve taken the time to verify that several settings are properly configured:

    – Auto-Lock is set to 30 seconds
    – Always-on Display is set to “On”
    – Focus Mode is adjusted to “Sleep”

    For Standby settings, I’ve ensured the following:

    – Standby is activated
    – Always On display feature is active
    – Night Mode is enabled
    – Motion to wake is turned “On”

    Additionally, I’ve checked notifications:

    – Show Notifications is set to “On”
    – Show Preview on Tap Only is set to “Off”

    Given all these configurations, I expected a consistent experience between day and night. Is there a reason why the display behaves differently at night compared to during the day?

    Your insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  • Speed Up Your Mac Dock Appearance with These Terminal Commands

    A few days ago, I asked how to make the Dock on my Mac appear faster while it’s set to Auto-Hide. I received two commands to run in the Terminal to enhance the response time. Here are the commands provided:

    1. defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier -float 0.7; killall Dock
    2. defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-delay -float 0; killall Dock

    I want to clarify whether both commands are necessary.

    I understand the second command, which essentially sets the delay before the Dock appears to zero, ensuring it pops up instantly. However, I’m curious about the first command and its purpose. The command “defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier -float 0.7; killall Dock” adjusts the duration of the reveal animation of the Dock when it reappears.

    In simpler terms, it modifies how quickly the Dock transitions from hidden to visible. By setting the value to 0.7 seconds, it reduces the animation time to make it feel quicker when the Dock comes into view. In summary, both commands serve their unique functions.

    The second command eliminates the delay in showing the Dock, while the first one shortens the animation duration, enhancing the overall responsiveness of the Dock. If you’re looking for a seamless experience, running both commands is advisable to achieve the best results.

  • Unexpected Capitalization of My Name while Typing

    I am experiencing an issue with autocorrect that affects how my name is displayed when I type it. Whenever I enter my name correctly, it automatically changes to all uppercase letters, such as “JOHN SMITH.”

    This occurs despite my best efforts to type it in a more standard format. I’ve searched for a way to resolve this problem, but I haven’t had any success so far.

    Every time I type my name, I find myself having to dismiss the autocorrect suggestion by pressing the ‘X’ on the bubble, which is quite frustrating. To troubleshoot, I attempted to use TextEdit as a means of adjusting the settings.

    After typing “JOHN SMITH” and right-clicking, I noticed that there was no option to unlearn the autocorrect behavior. Similarly, when I typed “John Smith” and right-clicked, there was no available option to learn this spelling.

    Additionally, I checked the Local Dictionary in the Spelling settings, but my name is not listed there, nor does my iPhone show this same issue—it correctly accepts my name as I type it. Given this context, I’m seeking guidance on how to fix this autocorrect problem.

    Any advice or steps to make it recognize my preferred spelling of my name would be incredibly helpful. Thank you in advance for your assistance!
