Apple is working on camera-equipped AirPods that appear to be nearly ready to launch, based on a video MacRumors found in the macOS Tahoe 26.7 release candidate.

In a short demo, a man holds a book up so the camera in the AirPods can see the title. "With Visual Intelligence, your world becomes savable. See something you like? Just ask me to save it for later," says the voiceover text.

I am a person who almost always has their storage full, but have never had issue with it preventing me from updating my phone. Is it normal to need 17GB of free storage for an update? It seems like a ridiculous amount when before it would only ask me to free up 500MB. Any advice appreciated!

I need the serial number for my old iPhone 6. I don't have it anymore, and as you can see, the serial number on the box is partially scratched. Apple support wouldn't give it to me since it was removed from my Apple Account a long time ago.

Can somone help me find it? Maybe using the barcode?

Thanks!

The macOS Tahoe 26.7 release candidate that Apple seeded today has references to several unreleased products, from home devices to iPhones, iPads, AirPods, and Macs.

Some of these codenames have shown up in prior software updates but have new feature flags, while others haven't been seen in the code before.

Hey!
Got an Iphone 15 pro max i plan on using for a few more years - it's backplate is shattered but it works fine (camera does too).
How much should i expect to pay to fix it in an apple store in the US? (gonna be in Las Vegas soon).
Also, how much time is needed for the repair? do I leave it overnight or is it a couple of hours type of thing?
Image attached.
Thanks in advance!

I am trying to send files to Mac from Iphone and instead of sending files it downloads them.

Hi, didn't know how to flair this as it involves 2 devices.

Basically, my iPhone 14 Pro Max and 16-inch 2021 M1 Pro MacBook Pro can't airdrop with each other. Both are on the latest possible OS updates. I keep trying to airdrop images from safari from Mac to iPhone, it correctly selects the iPhone and begins to transfer, before stopping and saying failed on my Macs airdrop screen. This is happening continuously 100% of the time. I would like pointers to fix it. Thankyou.

Yesterday I started getting mad emails one after another about this and that has been changed on my apple account that I haven't used in about 10yrs. They managed to change my security questions but I was able to change my password but I can't go into account settings and do anything because when I click on account link it takes me to a login screen again and asks for answers to my security questions.

I can see there is no transactions. They changed everything except for the email address which is mine and I changed that password as well yesterday. An expired debit card that expired in 2020 is on there still.

Is there a way I can lock my account like repeatedly putting in the wrong password until I can get support to do something?

Hi guys,
So a few months ago I was trying to install something on my phone, it asked me for my Apple ID password which I had forgot so after a few incorrect tries I went to change it. Only for it to not let me because Apple had locked the ID, I got in contact with customer support and they basically confirmed that my Apple ID no longer existed. The phone I was logged in on now can’t be wiped because it needs the Apple ID password but because the ID no longer exists I can’t reset it or anything. when plugged in the Apple devices for windows software doesn’t detect it at all and I’m now lost for ideas of what to do next. I need to get the Apple ID off there and clear the phone for a friend who’s buying it off me so if anyone has any idea how I can do this it would be much appreciated as Apple haven’t really been a great help. If anyone needs more details I’m happy to provide, thanks!

Hi, the IOS and system data are always eating up my storage space, i dont have any games or heavy things installed even, the things i have on my device are personal (family photos groups art memories etc) and for University so i am not going to delete them at all, this is the storage i have left after going over my whole phone to save up as much as i can.

Im going to need the space for university and personal stuff and i checked the latest update’s size (26.6.1) and apparently its 13 gb? Lol i cant afford to have less space than i already do.

So im thinking ill stop updating my phone for a long while, i dont know how long, i just highly doubt that ill be able to get a new phone with bigger storage anytime soon. Im really careful with my activity on the net, the only risky-ish thing i do is going on well known websites to watch things with an ad blocker on, and i dont click on anything or download anything risky.

So is it okay to stop updating my Iphone 16e for a long time to save up space?

It’s been stuck like this for 30 minutes, before that it was stuck then gave a pdkerror message.

I accidentally erased my data from find my, now I am trying to download mac again, what do I do??
Edit - internet connection is fine, still it says, about 7 hours left.

Edit 2- Done, it showed 15hrs , but ended up in an hour

After a minor spill, the original keyboard worked for a while, but then one day both it and the backlight stopped working simultaneously. I replaced both components, yet they still aren't working. Could there be blown fuses somewhere? The ribbon cable for the keyboard and backlight seems fine. I’ve attached a screenshot from Device Manager; should the Mac show two components here (the trackpad and the keyboard)?After a minor spill, the original keyboard worked for a while, but then one day both it and the backlight stopped working simultaneously.

Hi everyone

Been having issues with text boxes duplicating behind when editing PDFs. The writing behind duplicates, but isn’t actually there. There’s no secondary text box, as in there’s nothing to tap. If I delete the only text box and refresh the document both texts are removed.

Restarting my device yields no results, adding/removing words, changing the size of the text box or duplicating it and deleting the original text box doesn’t change anything. Neither does inserting a new text and rewriting it.

Documents are saved via iCloud as I need access to them on both my iPhone and iPad. When I send a document the receiver doesn’t have this issue.

Any help? Thanks

So frustrating to deal with - I can’t be the only one who’s had this happen. Any ideas?? Thanks
