  • Mastering Multitasking on iPadOS 26: Tips and Tricks from the MacRumors Community

    I recently noticed that the little three dot icon has disappeared, which I used to activate the windowing feature on my device. I frequently watch YouTube while keeping an eye on my text messages, conveniently displayed in the Messages app on the right. Unfortunately, it seems that I can no longer do this seamlessly.

    Even though I checked the Settings and found the windowing feature is enabled, there is no visible icon to toggle it on or off. Instead, when I open YouTube, it takes over the entire screen, and there appears to be no way to superimpose another app over it or position it alongside. I’m using a Magic Keyboard and an Apple Pencil, yet I haven’t had any luck finding the right buttons or gestures to access this new windowing feature.

    It’s becoming quite frustrating since I relied on this functionality for multitasking. Additionally, the guidance in Settings isn’t particularly helpful either. It includes a small animation that fails to clearly explain how to utilize this feature effectively.

    As a result, I find myself needing to exit YouTube entirely in order to send messages, which disrupts my viewing experience. I would appreciate any advice or troubleshooting tips to help me resolve this issue. It would be great to restore the ability to text while continuing to enjoy my videos without interruptions.

  • Five Exclusive Benefits for iPhone Users Subscribing to iCloud Storage – MacRumors

    If you subscribe to iCloud storage on your iPhone, you might be unaware of the additional benefits that come with your plan at no extra cost. Apple offers five perks that enhance your iCloud experience beyond just the extra storage. One of the perks is the ability to create event invitations via the Apple Invites app. This feature makes organizing gatherings much easier.

    Another significant addition is Private Relay, which ensures that your Safari browsing history remains confidential, shielding it from network providers, websites, and even Apple itself. The Hide My Email feature is also beneficial, as it generates unique, random email addresses for you whenever required. This allows you to maintain a level of privacy while interacting online. Furthermore, HomeKit Secure Video enables you to store and review home security footage in a highly secure, end-to-end encrypted format, enhancing your home security efforts.

    Lastly, custom email domains allow you to personalize your iCloud email address, thereby giving a professional touch to your communication. iCloud+ encompasses Apple’s paid iCloud storage plans that start at 50GB for $0.99 per month, reaching up to 12TB for $59.99 monthly in the United States. It’s worth noting that Apple provides all users with 5GB of free iCloud storage, but subscribing to iCloud+ unlocks these valuable perks. In the tech world, Apple has several exciting developments in the pipeline, including the expected launch of the Apple Watch Ultra 3 and the iPhone 17 lineup.

    With new rumors surfacing about innovative features, Apple continues to push its boundaries in product enhancement and user experience. Fans can look forward to these launches as they reshape the Apple ecosystem.

  • iOS 26 Introduces New Setting to Enhance Your iPhone’s Battery Life – MacRumors

    iOS 26 introduces a new feature called Adaptive Power Mode for iPhones, which complements the existing Low Power Mode. Apple claims Adaptive Power Mode can help extend battery life by making small performance tweaks.

    This may include slightly dimming the display or allowing certain tasks to take longer when battery usage is above normal. According to the beta description for iOS 26, Adaptive Power Mode activates when battery consumption is unusually high.

    While it supports devices from the iPhone 11 series onwards, it is only compatible with the iPhone 15 Pro and newer models due to its reliance on Apple Intelligence. Unfortunately, this means users with the iPhone 14 Pro and earlier will not have access to this feature.

    Adaptive Power Mode could prove particularly advantageous for the anticipated iPhone 17 Air, which is expected to feature a slim design that restricts battery size. Despite this, Apple plans to release a battery case for the iPhone 17 Air.

    The mode is disabled by default but can be activated in the Settings app under Battery, finding the Power Mode option. Meanwhile, analysts indicate that Apple is set to launch the Apple Watch Ultra 3 later this year, alongside the iPhone 17 lineup.

    In other news, Chase has unveiled new benefits for its Sapphire Reserve credit card, including complimentary annual subscriptions to Apple Music and Apple TV+, valuing up to $250. However, Apple faces challenges with its CarPlay Ultra system, as some automakers, including Mercedes-Benz and Audi, are reconsidering their support.

    Additionally, rumors about Apple’s upcoming foldable iPhone hint at innovative camera features, while speculations about the iPhone 18 Pro’s Face ID integration continue to circulate. Finally, it’s anticipated that new AirPods Pro will also debut soon, complete with exciting new features.

  • Apple Unveils 13 Automakers Integrating iPhone Car Key Technology – MacRumors

    Apple recently announced that 13 additional automakers will soon offer the iPhone car key feature, which allows users to lock, unlock, and start their vehicles via the iPhone or Apple Watch. This feature, first introduced in 2020, is already available in select models from brands such as Audi, BMW, Hyundai, Genesis, Mercedes-Benz, and Volvo.

During the WWDC 2025 keynote, Apple revealed that the new brands joining the iPhone car key program include Acura, Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC, Porsche, Rivian, Smart, Lucid Motors, Tata Motors, Hongqi, WEY, Chery, and Voyah.

    However, Apple did not specify an exact timeline for the rollout of these updates, leaving eager customers waiting for further information. While Apple maintains a webpage listing vehicle models that support the iPhone car keys, it has not been updated recently and may not reflect the latest additions, creating a need for potential users to seek more current information. In addition to the iPhone car keys, Apple is making headlines with various developments in its product lineup. Analysts are predicting the upcoming release of the Apple Watch Ultra 3 and the Series 11 versions later this year.

    Meanwhile, Chase has announced new perks for its Sapphire Reserve credit card, including complimentary subscriptions to Apple TV+ and Apple Music. Apple is also facing challenges with its CarPlay Ultra software, with several automakers re-evaluating their commitment to the upgraded dashboard system. Meanwhile, rumors are swirling around the anticipated foldable iPhone, expected to be released next year, and updates to the AirPods Pro, reaffirming Apple’s focus on innovation and user experience.

  • Comparing M4 and M3 Pro MacBook Pro Models

    Hello everyone,

    I hope you can help me out with some guidance. Recently, I bought a 14″ MacBook Pro with the M3 Pro processor, 18 GB RAM, and 512 GB storage from Best Buy for $1,699. While I enjoy the device, I do find myself craving a slightly larger screen since I previously had a 15-inch MacBook Air which was a better fit for my needs, though it struggled with only 8 GB of RAM.

    Currently, I’m trying to evaluate my options solely from a value perspective. I’m considering whether I should switch to an M4 Pro with the basic M4 processor, featuring 16 GB of RAM and the same 512 GB storage, which is available for $1,479 with a $150 discount. I’ve read that these two processors are fairly similar, but I’m curious about the differences in terms of ports, fan performance, and screen quality.

    In terms of specifications, I want to know if the M3 Pro is indeed the superior device overall, compared to the M4 Pro. The M3 Pro I currently have offers 18 GB of RAM, while the M4 Pro offers 16 GB—but with potentially better connectivity due to expanded ports. As I weigh my options, I’m also mindful of potential price drops—especially with Black Friday approaching.

    If there is a noticeable decrease in the pricing of the M3 models, it might change my decision. Ultimately, should I stick with the M3 Pro, settle for the basic M4, or upgrade to the M4 Pro? I am also hoping for the mythical 16-inch design with the base M4 processor.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  • iPad 7th Gen Facing Potential Loss of Support Soon, Users Discuss on MacRumors Forums

    I am considering whether to sell my 7th generation iPad, especially since it’s nearing the end of major iPadOS support with the upcoming iPadOS 26. Given that I primarily use my Mac and not much else on the iPad, I’m pondering if there’s any compelling reason to hold onto it.

    I have a Logitech combo case for the iPad, which I’ll likely part with as well if I decide to sell. However, the truth is that my usage of the iPad has significantly declined over time.

    I don’t engage in many activities on it currently, which makes it tempting to sell while it still holds some value. On the flip side, I wonder if there are any functions or benefits I might be overlooking that could make the iPad worth keeping, even as support dwindles.

    Perhaps it could serve as a secondary device for specific tasks or be useful for streaming and entertainment. With my limited use of the iPad and the impending loss of major updates, making the decision to sell it feels logical.

    Yet, I’m still trying to weigh the pros and cons. Your insights would definitely help in deciding if I should keep it or let it go.

    Thank you for your thoughts on this matter.
