The site says that production has been pushed back by \"roughly one to two months,\" but Apple has not communicated any launch delays to suppliers. Apple is still planning for a 2026 launch, which suggests a tighter production schedule.\nApple planned to begin ‌iPhone Fold‌ mass production in June 2026, but mass production has now slipped to early August. Some rumors have suggested that Apple is having more manufacturing problems than expected with the Engineering Validation Test phase that the ‌iPhone Fold‌ is in right now, but other rumors suggest\nthat won't lead to delays\n.\nLast week, Japanese site\nNikkei\nsaid that the engineering delays could cause Apple to delay the launch of the ‌iPhone Fold‌\nuntil 2027\n, but\nBloomberg\n's\nMark Gurman\nsaid the ‌iPhone Fold‌ remains on track to launch \"around the same time\" or \"soon after\" the\niPhone 18 Pro\nmodels in September 2026.\nDigiTimes\n' report reconciles the two separate launch timing rumors, indicating that there is indeed a delay in the test phase, but Apple may be able to make up ground during the mass production phase. Prior to mass production, the ‌iPhone Fold‌ will still need to go through Design Validation Testing and Production Validation Testing.\nA delay in the mass production timeline could cause serious supply chain shortages, and ‌iPhone Fold‌ availability is likely to be constrained. When we hear rumors about launch issues this early in an iPhone cycle, it typically leads to severe launch shortages and a device that sells out in minutes during pre-orders.\nThe ‌iPhone Fold‌ is expected to cost between $2,000 and $2,500. It will be Apple's first foldable device, with a 5.5-inch display when closed and a 7.8-inch display when open.

The app's latest update says boarding passes in the Wallet app feature an updated look with\nApple Maps\nintegration, destination guides, and luggage tracking capabilities.\nApple revamped boarding passes in ‌iOS 26‌ to make them more useful to passengers who are using their iPhones for flights in lieu of a paper boarding pass. Boarding passes have maps for navigating through airports, an option to tap into\nFind My\nto track items equipped with AirTags, and tools for reporting missing bags to airlines. From American Airlines:\nYour boarding pass has a new look with more at your fingertips, like Apple Maps, destination guides, and quick shortcuts to the app. You can also track your luggage and open Find My right from your pass.\nAirlines need to opt in to the new boarding passes and update their apps with support. United Airlines, Air Canada, and Southwest already have the enhanced boarding passes. Delta briefly added support, but removed it shortly after.\nApple also implemented Live Activities support for airlines so users can get real-time updates on a flight in ‌iOS 26‌, but it is not clear if American Airlines is supporting that feature based on the app's release notes.\nBack in\nJune 2025\n, Apple said American Airlines was one of the airlines that would add support for the refreshed boarding passes. Other airlines listed included Air Canada, Delta Air Lines, JetBlue, Jetstar, Lufthansa Group, Qantas, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, and Virgin Australia.\nAmerican Airlines has also supported the ‌Find My‌ lost luggage tracking feature\nsince February 2025\n. In iOS 18, Apple worked with airlines to make it easier for airline employees to locate lost baggage using AirTags.\nApple Maps Ads Move Closer to Launch With iOS 26.5 Beta 2\nMonday April 13, 2026 11:09 am PDT\nby\nJuli Clover\nWith the second beta of iOS 26.5, Apple is continuing to prepare for ads in the\nApple Maps\napp. There's a new splash screen in the app that says it will display ads based on approximate location, current search terms, or a view of the map when searching. Ads will also be shown in the \"Suggested Places\" section that was\nadded in the first beta\n.\nApple says that advertising information is not linked to an Apple Account to preserve user privacy, so ads viewed and interacted with will not be associated with an Apple Account. Data is not collected or stored by Apple and not shared with third parties, according to Apple.\nSigns of ads in the Maps app were spotted in the first beta, but iOS 26.5 testers could start seeing ads with the second beta. It's not yet clear if Apple has just implemented the splash screen, or if ads are going to begin showing up in the near future.\nApple\nannounced plans\nto introduce ads for the Maps app back in March, with ads set to roll out to the public \"this summer.\" Apple plans to include ads in the Maps app on iPhone,\niPad\n, and Mac in the United States and Canada.\nAds in ‌Apple Maps‌ will have an \"Ad\" label, much like ads in the\nApp Store\n.\nApple Watch Series 11 Hits $100 Off Nearly Every Aluminum Model on Amazon\nAmazon this week has\nall-time low prices on the Apple Watch Series 11\n, with $100 discounts across numerous models of the smartwatch.

The Maps app has a Suggested Places feature for recommending locations to visit nearby based on trends and recent searches, plus Apple is laying the groundwork for ads in the\nApple Maps\napp.\nApple is continuing to test end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for\nRCS\nmessages between iPhone and Android users. Apple included the feature in the iOS 26.4 beta, but removed it before the update launched to the public.\nIn the European Union, Apple is testing proximity pairing, notification forwarding, and Live Activities for third-party wearables like earbuds and smartwatches. The functionality will allow third-party wearables to have many of the same features as the Apple Watch and AirPods.\nMore detail on what's new in iOS 26.5 can be found in\nour iOS 26.5 beta features guide\n.\nSecond macOS Tahoe 26.5 Beta Now Available for Developers\nMonday April 13, 2026 10:07 am PDT\nby\nJuli Clover\nApple today provided the second beta of an upcoming\nmacOS Tahoe\n26.5 update to developers for testing purposes, with the update coming two weeks after the first beta.\nDevelopers can download the ‌macOS Tahoe‌ 26.5 update by opening up the System Settings app, selecting the General category, and then choosing Software Update. Beta Updates will need to be enabled, and a free developer account is required.\nNo new features were found in the first ‌macOS Tahoe‌ 26.5 beta, and it's likely the update primarily focuses on bug fixes and performance improvements.\nApple Releases Second watchOS 26.5, tvOS 26.5 and visionOS 26.5 Betas\nMonday April 13, 2026 10:06 am PDT\nby\nJuli Clover\nApple today provided developers with the second betas of upcoming watchOS 26.5, tvOS 26.5, and visionOS 26.5 betas for testing purposes. The software comes two weeks after Apple released the first betas for each platform.\nThe software updates are available through the Settings app on each device, and because these are developer betas, a free developer account is required.\nThere's no word on what's in the software as of yet. watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS often get few features in each new beta, with updates primarily focusing on bug fixes and performance improvements. Nothing new was found in the first betas.\nCheck Who's Using Your iPhone Hotspot Data\nMonday April 13, 2026 7:34 am PDT\nby\nTim Hardwick\nIf you regularly share your iPhone's data connection with your laptop or iPad, or let family members piggyback on your device's data, you'll be glad to learn that Apple recently made it a lot easier to keep tabs on who's burning through your monthly allowance.\nIn a welcome change with the release of iOS 26.4, Apple has moved Personal Hotspot data usage info out of its previous hiding spot and put it in a much more convenient location.\nBefore the latest update, Personal Hotspot's per-device breakdown was secreted away inside cellular settings, where it was easy to miss. Now it sits right inside the Personal Hotspot menu, making it way more practical for anyone on a capped data plan who's keen to keep an eye on usage.\nHere's how to check it in iOS 26.4 (you can make sure your device is up-to-date via\nSettings ➝ General ➝ Software Update\n).\nHow to Check iPhone Hotspot Data Usage\nOpen\nSettings\non your iPhone.\nTap\nPersonal Hotspot\n.\nBelow the \"Maximize Compatibility\" toggle, tap\nData Usage\n.\nHere you'll see a list of connected devices along with how much data each one has consumed, as well as a total figure across all devices. Note that Apple devices running iOS 26.4 or macOS 26.4 appear individually by name, whereas Android phones, Windows PCs, and anything running older Apple software are grouped together under \"Other Devices.\"\nBear in mind that the Data Usage option only appears if you've used Personal Hotspot recently. If you want, you can clear the figures and start tracking anew by heading to\nSettings ➝ Cellular\/Mobile Service\nand resetting your overall cellular usage statistics (the option at the bottom). This wipes your hotspot numbers at the same time.\nSmart Adhesive Is Key to Crease-Free Foldable iPhone Display\nAdvances in optically clear adhesive (OCA) will be a key factor in achieving a near-invisible crease in Apple's first foldable iPhone expected later this year, according to\nTrendForce\n.\nThe supply chain intelligence firm outlined the key technologies in\na new report\non foldable display innovation, explaining that creases form when layers within the display panel fall out of alignment, concentrating stress at the fold and causing micro-cracks or permanent deformation over time.\nUltra-thin glass (UTG) also plays a role in the optimal design. Apple's patents have described a design where the glass is thinner at the fold for flexibility and thicker elsewhere for durability, which is an approach consistent with\nreports last year\nthat Apple was testing uneven-thickness panels, and\nmore recently\nthat it may use a dual-layer glass structure to spread stress across multiple layers.\nThe single most important factor, TrendForce says, is OCA. Modern formulations go well beyond simple bonding, staying pliable during gradual bending to reduce fatigue while temporarily stiffening under sudden impact to provide structural support. Over time, the adhesive's ability to flow into microscopic irregularities also reduces light scattering and keeps the crease less visible.\nHinge and structural engineering still matter too. Samsung Display uses laser drilling in the metal support plate behind the display to balance rigidity and flexibility, a technique analyst\nMing-Chi Kuo\nreported last July\nthat Apple's foldable would also use via supplier Fine M-Tec.\nSamsung briefly showcased\na crease-free panel at\nCES 2026\n, though it later clarified this was an R&D concept rather than a production-ready design.\nApple has reportedly\npursued eliminating the crease\n\"regardless of cost\", and leaker \"Fixed Focus Digital\"\nreported in February\nthat production orders had been placed with a crease depth under 0.15mm and a crease angle under 2.5 degrees. TrendForce estimates Apple could capture close to 20% of the foldable smartphone market this year, which it says would compress Samsung and Huawei to roughly 30% each.\nThe foldable iPhone is expected to be unveiled alongside the\niPhone 18 Pro\nmodels in September. Foxconn\nbegan trial production last week\n, and Samsung Display is reportedly on track to begin mass production of OLED panels for the device in May.\nGet Up to $200 Off 2026 MacBook Pro With Record Low Prices on Amazon\nAmazon is offering a few\nall-time low prices on Apple's M5 Pro\/M5 Max MacBook Pro\n, with up to $200 off select models without the need of a membership or clipping a coupon.

The latest version improves network performance, allows streaming up to 4K resolutions, and allows users to dynamically adjust the curve of the display in panoramic mode.\nThe one limitation worth bearing in mind is that the client is for 2D streaming only and does not support VR content. Whether this will change in the future is unclear. Valve announced its intention to release a native Steam Link app for visionOS\nearlier this month\n, but the company has yet to share a general release date.\nNew Huawei Foldable Looks a Lot Like Apple's Rumored iPhone Fold\nMonday April 13, 2026 4:47 am PDT\nby\nTim Hardwick\nApple's upcoming foldable iPhone is expected to feature a book-style form factor that's relatively uncommon in the foldables market, but Huawei's new Pura X Max appears to share a similar wide aspect ratio.\nSet to be released in China next week, Huawei's new device actually builds upon a design used by the original, smaller\nPura X\n, which was marketed last year as an extra-wide flip phone. Little is known about the Pura X Max beyond its triple lens rear camera, while\nHuawei's imagery\nshows the device being used in both portrait and landscape.\nPrior to the Pura X Max's unveiling, Apple's rumored device was said to most resemble\nOppo's Find N5\n. Samsung is also believed to be adopting a similar wide aspect ratio form factor for one of its upcoming foldables.\nWe've heard plenty of rumors about the foldable iPhone‌'s design, but the first alleged dummy models\nappeared last week\n. The device will have a 5.5-inch display when closed, making it Apple's smallest current-generation iPhone. When open, it will be around 7.8 inches, which is around half an inch smaller than the iPad mini.\nApple is expected to debut its first foldable alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models in September, with a launch likely to shortly follow the Pro devices' release. Most rumors have suggested that the ‌foldable iPhone will start at around $2,000 and be available in traditional space gray\/black and silver\/white finishes.\nOne rumor claims that Apple will call it the \"\niPhone Ultra\n,\" rather than \"iPhone Fold,\" which is the shorthand the media has largely been using.\nApple's AI Chief John Giannandrea Departs This Week\nJohn Giannandrea, Apple's former head of artificial intelligence, is set to leave the company this week as his final stock vesting date approaches.\nIn his\n\"Power On\" newsletter\n,\nMark Gurman\nnoted that Giannandrea's exit has been a prolonged one. Apple moved to dramatically reduce his role in March 2025 following the\ndisappointing launch of Apple Intelligence\nand ongoing delays to the\nSiri\noverhaul, stripping him of oversight of ‌Siri‌, robotics, and other AI teams at that time. The company\nmade the departure official\nat the end of last year, announcing that Giannandrea would be retiring in 2026.\nIn the intervening months, Giannandrea has been in an advisory role, what Gurman described as \"resting and vesting,\" meaning remaining on the payroll until stock grants vest. With Apple's next vesting date falling on April 15, Gurman says Giannandrea's final days at the company are this week. His remaining responsibilities, which covered Apple's foundation models, AI testing, and various other functions, were divided between software chief Craig Federighi, services head\nEddy Cue\n, and operating chief Sabih Khan.\nGiannandrea joined Apple from Google in 2018. Gurman says he is unlikely to join another major technology company and is instead expected to take seats on corporate boards and pursue startup advisory work.\nGurman offered a broader assessment of why Giannandrea's tenure failed to produce results, pushing back on the notion that Cook simply struggles with outside hires: \"The truth is that the top of Apple is run like a small family business with few decision-makers. And if you're not in the inner circle — which is nearly impossible to crack — you're simply not empowered enough to drive real change at the company.\"\niPhone 18 Pro Deep Red Color Likely as Android Rivals Prep Same Shade\nMonday April 13, 2026 3:22 am PDT\nby\nTim Hardwick\nApple's upcoming iPhone 18 Pro is very likely to come in a new deep red color, claims a Chinese leaker, because the color is already being prototyped by Android phone makers.\nIn February,\nBloomberg\n's Mark Gurman\nreported\nthat Apple is testing a deep red finish for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Rumors of\npurple and brown finishes\nhave also circulated, but Gurman believes those are just variants of the same red idea.\nWeibo-based leaker\nDigital Chat Station\nhas now thrown their weight behind the rumor. In a post shared over the weekend, the leaker said there was a high likelihood that Apple is testing the deep red finish, based on the fact that they have seen the same color in prototypes of next-generation Android phones by rival brands.\nIt's unclear if the leaker is suggesting that Android makers have inside knowledge of Apple's color plans and are aiming to match it, or that the color's appearance is a sign of shared trend forecasting. Both Apple and Android OEMs likely rely on global color forecasting agencies that track fashion trends, and if deep red is \"on trend,\" several companies could end up adopting it independently. However, Android makers are also well known for\ncopying Apple's design trends\n.\nAccording to\nInstant Digital\n, another Weibo-based leaker, Apple's iPhone 18 Pro models won't come in black this year. If the rumor is true, it will be the second consecutive year Apple has ditched what was arguably its most classic color option for the Pro lineup. The premium devices are expected to arrive this September alongside Apple's\nfirst foldable iPhone\n.\nApple Testing Four Smart Glasses Styles Made of High-End Materials\nMonday April 13, 2026 2:29 am PDT\nby\nTim Hardwick\nApple is developing at least four different styles of smart glasses, and the company is betting that their superior design will set them apart from rival products, according to\nBloomberg\n's Mark Gurman.\nWriting in his latest\nPower On newsletter\n, Gurman says that Apple's latest designs are made from a high-end material called acetate, which is \"more durable and luxurious\" than the standard plastic used by most existing brands. In Gurman's words, the designs in testing include:\nA large rectangular frame, reminiscent of Ray-Ban Wayfarers\nA slimmer rectangular design, similar to the glasses worn by Apple CEO Tim Cook\nLarger oval or circular frames\nA smaller, more refined oval or circular option\nThe designs will be instantly recognizable as Apple – what the company refers to internally as the \"icon\" – and they are set to come in \"many\" color options, says Gurman, with black, ocean blue, and light brown currently being explored.\nThe glasses will tightly integrate with the iPhone and Siri, and they will use computer vision to interpret the user's surroundings and feed contextual awareness into Apple Intelligence. Meanwhile, the the camera system currently being considered is described as \"vertically oriented oval lenses with surrounding lights,\" which contrasts with the circular design seen in Meta's Ray-Bans.\nApple is expected to unveil smart glasses as the end of 2026 or early the following year, with the actual release occurring in 2027. The glasses are said to be part of Apple's broader AI wearables strategy that also includes new\nAirPods with cameras and a camera-equipped pendant\n.\nAmazon Has Every Model of the M5 MacBook Air at $150 Off This Weekend\nAmazon this week introduced a few\nnew record low prices on the M5 MacBook Air\nand they're all still available today.

Some rumors have suggested that Apple is having more manufacturing problems than expected with the Engineering Validation Test phase that the ‌iPhone Fold‌ is in right now, but other rumors suggest [that won't lead to delays](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/07\/iphone-fold-september-launch\/).\n\nLast week, Japanese site *Nikkei* said that the engineering delays could cause Apple to delay the launch of the ‌iPhone Fold‌ [until 2027](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/07\/foldable-iphone-delays-could-push-launch-into-2027\/), but *Bloomberg*'s [Mark Gurman](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/mark-gurman\/) said the ‌iPhone Fold‌ remains on track to launch \"around the same time\" or \"soon after\" the [iPhone 18 Pro](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/roundup\/iphone-18-pro\/) models in September 2026.\n\n*[DigiTimes](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/digitimes-com\/)*' report reconciles the two separate launch timing rumors, indicating that there is indeed a delay in the test phase, but Apple may be able to make up ground during the mass production phase. Prior to mass production, the ‌iPhone Fold‌ will still need to go through Design Validation Testing and Production Validation Testing.\n\nA delay in the mass production timeline could cause serious supply chain shortages, and ‌iPhone Fold‌ availability is likely to be constrained. When we hear rumors about launch issues this early in an iPhone cycle, it typically leads to severe launch shortages and a device that sells out in minutes during pre-orders.\n\nThe ‌iPhone Fold‌ is expected to cost between \\$2,000 and \\$2,500. It will be Apple's first foldable device, with a 5.5-inch display when closed and a 7.8-inch display when open.

Boarding passes have maps for navigating through airports, an option to tap into [Find My](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/find-my\/) to track items equipped with AirTags, and tools for reporting missing bags to airlines. From American Airlines:\n\n> Your boarding pass has a new look with more at your fingertips, like Apple Maps, destination guides, and quick shortcuts to the app. You can also track your luggage and open Find My right from your pass.\n\nAirlines need to opt in to the new boarding passes and update their apps with support. United Airlines, Air Canada, and Southwest already have the enhanced boarding passes. Delta briefly added support, but removed it shortly after.\n\nApple also implemented Live Activities support for airlines so users can get real-time updates on a flight in ‌iOS 26‌, but it is not clear if American Airlines is supporting that feature based on the app's release notes.\n\nBack in [June 2025](https:\/\/www.apple.com\/newsroom\/2025\/06\/apple-services-deliver-powerful-features-and-intelligent-updates-to-users-this-fall\/), Apple said American Airlines was one of the airlines that would add support for the refreshed boarding passes.

Now it sits right inside the Personal Hotspot menu, making it way more practical for anyone on a capped data plan who's keen to keep an eye on usage.\n\nHere's how to check it in iOS 26.4 (you can make sure your device is up-to-date via **Settings ➝ General ➝ Software Update**).\n\n### How to Check iPhone Hotspot Data Usage\n1. Open **Settings** on your iPhone.\n2. Tap **Personal Hotspot**.\n3. Below the \"Maximize Compatibility\" toggle, tap **Data Usage**.\n\n![ios hotspot data usage](https:\/\/images.macrumors.com\/images-new\/1x1.trans.gif)![ios hotspot data usage](https:\/\/images.macrumors.com\/article-new\/2026\/04\/ios-hotspot-data-usage.jpeg)\n\nHere you'll see a list of connected devices along with how much data each one has consumed, as well as a total figure across all devices. Note that Apple devices running iOS 26.4 or macOS 26.4 appear individually by name, whereas Android phones, Windows PCs, and anything running older Apple software are grouped together under \"Other Devices.\"\n\nBear in mind that the Data Usage option only appears if you've used Personal Hotspot recently. If you want, you can clear the figures and start tracking anew by heading to **Settings ➝ Cellular\/Mobile Service** and resetting your overall cellular usage statistics (the option at the bottom). This wipes your hotspot numbers at the same time.\n\n[Show Full Article](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/how-to\/check-who-using-iphone-hotspot-data\/)\n\n[36 comments](https:\/\/forums.macrumors.com\/threads\/check-whos-using-your-iphone-hotspot-data.2480851\/)\n\n## [Smart Adhesive Is Key to Crease-Free Foldable iPhone Display](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/13\/adhesive-is-key-to-crease-free-foldable-iphone\/)\nMonday April 13, 2026 6:57 am PDT\n\nby [Hartley Charlton](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/author\/hartley-charlton\/)\n\nAdvances in optically clear adhesive (OCA) will be a key factor in achieving a near-invisible crease in Apple's first foldable iPhone expected later this year, according to [TrendForce](https:\/\/www.trendforce.com\/presscenter\/news\/20260413-13009.html).\n\n![Foldable iPhone 2023 Feature Iridescent 1](https:\/\/images.macrumors.com\/images-new\/1x1.trans.gif)![Foldable iPhone 2023 Feature Iridescent 1](https:\/\/images.macrumors.com\/article-new\/2025\/03\/Foldable-iPhone-2023-Feature-Iridescent-1.jpg)  \nThe supply chain intelligence firm outlined the key technologies in [a new report](https:\/\/www.trendforce.com\/presscenter\/news\/20260413-13009.html) on foldable display innovation, explaining that creases form when layers within the display panel fall out of alignment, concentrating stress at the fold and causing micro-cracks or permanent deformation over time.\n\nUltra-thin glass (UTG) also plays a role in the optimal design. Apple's patents have described a design where the glass is thinner at the fold for flexibility and thicker elsewhere for durability, which is an approach consistent with [reports last year](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2025\/12\/22\/iphone-foldable-ultra-thin-glass-crease\/) that Apple was testing uneven-thickness panels, and [more recently](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/03\/23\/foldable-iphone-layered-glass-reduce-crease\/) that it may use a dual-layer glass structure to spread stress across multiple layers.\n\nThe single most important factor, TrendForce says, is OCA. Modern formulations go well beyond simple bonding, staying pliable during gradual bending to reduce fatigue while temporarily stiffening under sudden impact to provide structural support. Over time, the adhesive's ability to flow into microscopic irregularities also reduces light scattering and keeps the crease less visible.\n\nHinge and structural engineering still matter too. Samsung Display uses laser drilling in the metal support plate behind the display to balance rigidity and flexibility, a technique analyst [Ming-Chi Kuo](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/ming-chi-kuo\/) [reported last July](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2025\/07\/15\/foldable-iphone-crease-free-samsung-display\/) that Apple's foldable would also use via supplier Fine M-Tec.

The latest version improves network performance, allows streaming up to 4K resolutions, and allows users to dynamically adjust the curve of the display in panoramic mode.\n\nThe one limitation worth bearing in mind is that the client is for 2D streaming only and does not support VR content. Whether this will change in the future is unclear. Valve announced its intention to release a native Steam Link app for visionOS [earlier this month](https:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/app\/353380\/discussions\/7\/806847328212494915\/), but the company has yet to share a general release date.\n\nRelated Roundup: [Apple Vision Pro](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/roundup\/apple-vision-pro\/)\n\nTag: [Valve](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/valve\/)\n\nBuyer's Guide: [Vision Pro (Buy Now)](https:\/\/buyersguide.macrumors.com\/#AppleVisionPro)\n\nRelated Forum: [Apple Vision Pro](https:\/\/forums.macrumors.com\/forums\/apple-vision-pro.209)\n\n[Show Full Article](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/13\/valve-steam-link-apple-vision-pro\/)\n\n[21 comments](https:\/\/forums.macrumors.com\/threads\/valves-steam-link-app-is-coming-to-apple-vision-pro.2480847\/)\n\n## [New Huawei Foldable Looks a Lot Like Apple's Rumored iPhone Fold](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/13\/huawei-foldable-similar-foldable-iphone\/)\nMonday April 13, 2026 4:47 am PDT\n\nby [Tim Hardwick](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/author\/tim-hardwick\/)\n\nApple's upcoming foldable iPhone is expected to feature a book-style form factor that's relatively uncommon in the foldables market, but Huawei's new Pura X Max appears to share a similar wide aspect ratio.\n\n![huawei pura x max](https:\/\/images.macrumors.com\/images-new\/1x1.trans.gif)![huawei pura x max](https:\/\/images.macrumors.com\/article-new\/2026\/04\/huawei-pura-x-max.jpg)  \nSet to be released in China next week, Huawei's new device actually builds upon a design used by the original, smaller [Pura X](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Huawei_Pura_X), which was marketed last year as an extra-wide flip phone. Little is known about the Pura X Max beyond its triple lens rear camera, while [Huawei's imagery](https:\/\/m.weibo.cn\/detail\/5287195914013746) shows the device being used in both portrait and landscape.\n\nPrior to the Pura X Max's unveiling, Apple's rumored device was said to most resemble [Oppo's Find N5](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2025\/02\/20\/worlds-thinnest-foldable-launches\/). Samsung is also believed to be adopting a similar wide aspect ratio form factor for one of its upcoming foldables.\n\nWe've heard plenty of rumors about the foldable iPhone‌'s design, but the first alleged dummy models [appeared last week](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/07\/foldable-iphone-design-revealed\/). The device will have a 5.5-inch display when closed, making it Apple's smallest current-generation iPhone. When open, it will be around 7.8 inches, which is around half an inch smaller than the iPad mini.\n\nApple is expected to debut its first foldable alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models in September, with a launch likely to shortly follow the Pro devices' release. Most rumors have suggested that the ‌foldable iPhone will start at around \\$2,000 and be available in traditional space gray\/black and silver\/white finishes.\n\n![huawei pura x max 1](https:\/\/images.macrumors.com\/images-new\/1x1.trans.gif)![huawei pura x max 1](https:\/\/images.macrumors.com\/article-new\/2026\/04\/huawei-pura-x-max-1.jpg)  \nOne rumor claims that Apple will call it the \"[iPhone Ultra](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/07\/foldable-iphone-fold-iphone-ultra\/),\" rather than \"iPhone Fold,\" which is the shorthand the media has largely been using.\n\nRelated Roundup: [iPhone Fold](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/roundup\/iphone-fold\/)\n\nTags: [Foldable iPhone Guide](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/foldable-iphone\/), [Huawei](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/huawei\/)\n\n[Show Full Article](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/13\/huawei-foldable-similar-foldable-iphone\/)\n\n[88 comments](https:\/\/forums.macrumors.com\/threads\/new-huawei-foldable-looks-a-lot-like-apples-rumored-iphone-fold.2480842\/)\n\n## [Apple's AI Chief John Giannandrea Departs This Week](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/13\/john-giannandrea-departs-apple-this-week\/)\nMonday April 13, 2026 4:23 am PDT\n\nby [Hartley Charlton](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/author\/hartley-charlton\/)\n\nJohn Giannandrea, Apple's former head of artificial intelligence, is set to leave the company this week as his final stock vesting date approaches.\n\n![apple intelligence black](https:\/\/images.macrumors.com\/images-new\/1x1.trans.gif)![apple intelligence black](https:\/\/images.macrumors.com\/article-new\/2024\/09\/apple-intelligence-black.jpeg)  \nIn his [\"Power On\" newsletter](https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/newsletters\/2026-04-12\/apple-ai-smart-glasses-features-styles-colors-cameras-giannandrea-leaving-mnvtz4yg), [Mark Gurman](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/mark-gurman\/) noted that Giannandrea's exit has been a prolonged one. Apple moved to dramatically reduce his role in March 2025 following the [disappointing launch of Apple Intelligence](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2025\/04\/10\/chaos-behind-siri-revealed\/) and ongoing delays to the [Siri](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/siri\/) overhaul, stripping him of oversight of ‌Siri‌, robotics, and other AI teams at that time. The company [made the departure official](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2025\/12\/01\/apple-ai-chief-retiring-after-siri-failure\/) at the end of last year, announcing that Giannandrea would be retiring in 2026.\n\nIn the intervening months, Giannandrea has been in an advisory role, what Gurman described as \"resting and vesting,\" meaning remaining on the payroll until stock grants vest. With Apple's next vesting date falling on April 15, Gurman says Giannandrea's final days at the company are this week. His remaining responsibilities, which covered Apple's foundation models, AI testing, and various other functions, were divided between software chief Craig Federighi, services head [Eddy Cue](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/eddy-cue\/), and operating chief Sabih Khan.\n\nGiannandrea joined Apple from Google in 2018. Gurman says he is unlikely to join another major technology company and is instead expected to take seats on corporate boards and pursue startup advisory work.\n\nGurman offered a broader assessment of why Giannandrea's tenure failed to produce results, pushing back on the notion that Cook simply struggles with outside hires: \"The truth is that the top of Apple is run like a small family business with few decision-makers. And if you're not in the inner circle — which is nearly impossible to crack — you're simply not empowered enough to drive real change at the company.\"\n\nTags: [John Giannandrea](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/john-giannandrea\/), [Mark Gurman](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/mark-gurman\/)\n\n[Show Full Article](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/13\/john-giannandrea-departs-apple-this-week\/)\n\n[43 comments](https:\/\/forums.macrumors.com\/threads\/apples-ai-chief-john-giannandrea-departs-this-week.2480841\/)\n\n## [iPhone 18 Pro Deep Red Color Likely as Android Rivals Prep Same Shade](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/13\/iphone-18-pro-deep-red-color\/)\nMonday April 13, 2026 3:22 am PDT\n\nby [Tim Hardwick](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/author\/tim-hardwick\/)\n\nApple's upcoming iPhone 18 Pro is very likely to come in a new deep red color, claims a Chinese leaker, because the color is already being prototyped by Android phone makers.\n\n![iPhone 18 Pro Deep Red Feature](https:\/\/images.macrumors.com\/images-new\/1x1.trans.gif)![iPhone 18 Pro Deep Red Feature](https:\/\/images.macrumors.com\/article-new\/2026\/02\/iPhone-18-Pro-Deep-Red-Feature.jpg)  \nIn February, *Bloomberg*'s Mark Gurman [reported](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/02\/22\/iphone-18-pro-foldable-iphone-rumored-colors\/) that Apple is testing a deep red finish for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Rumors of [purple and brown finishes](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2025\/11\/04\/iphone-18-pro-rumored-colors\/) have also circulated, but Gurman believes those are just variants of the same red idea.\n\nWeibo-based leaker [Digital Chat Station](https:\/\/weibo.com\/6048569942\/QAjhYFjcC) has now thrown their weight behind the rumor. In a post shared over the weekend, the leaker said there was a high likelihood that Apple is testing the deep red finish, based on the fact that they have seen the same color in prototypes of next-generation Android phones by rival brands.\n\nIt's unclear if the leaker is suggesting that Android makers have inside knowledge of Apple's color plans and are aiming to match it, or that the color's appearance is a sign of shared trend forecasting. Both Apple and Android OEMs likely rely on global color forecasting agencies that track fashion trends, and if deep red is \"on trend,\" several companies could end up adopting it independently. However, Android makers are also well known for [copying Apple's design trends](https:\/\/x.com\/techdroider\/status\/2042526496313454829?s=20).\n\nAccording to [Instant Digital](https:\/\/weibo.com\/5143897135\/QyWIVEux9), another Weibo-based leaker, Apple's iPhone 18 Pro models won't come in black this year. If the rumor is true, it will be the second consecutive year Apple has ditched what was arguably its most classic color option for the Pro lineup. The premium devices are expected to arrive this September alongside Apple's [first foldable iPhone](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/10\/iphone-fold-rumor-recap\/).\n\nRelated Roundup: [iPhone 18 Pro](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/roundup\/iphone-18-pro\/)\n\nTags: [Android](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/android\/), [Digital Chat Station](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/digital-chat-station\/)\n\n[Show Full Article](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/13\/iphone-18-pro-deep-red-color\/)\n\n[44 comments](https:\/\/forums.macrumors.com\/threads\/iphone-18-pro-deep-red-color-likely-as-android-rivals-prep-same-shade.2480838\/)\n\n## [Apple Testing Four Smart Glasses Styles Made of High-End Materials](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/13\/apple-smart-glasses-four-styles\/)\nMonday April 13, 2026 2:29 am PDT\n\nby [Tim Hardwick](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/author\/tim-hardwick\/)\n\nApple is developing at least four different styles of smart glasses, and the company is betting that their superior design will set them apart from rival products, according to *Bloomberg*'s Mark Gurman.\n\n![Apple Glasses Blue Feature](https:\/\/images.macrumors.com\/images-new\/1x1.trans.gif)![Apple Glasses Blue Feature](https:\/\/images.macrumors.com\/article-new\/2021\/01\/Apple-Glasses-Blue-Feature.jpg)  \nWriting in his latest [Power On newsletter](https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/newsletters\/2026-04-12\/apple-ai-smart-glasses-features-styles-colors-cameras-giannandrea-leaving-mnvtz4yg), Gurman says that Apple's latest designs are made from a high-end material called acetate, which is \"more durable and luxurious\" than the standard plastic used by most existing brands. In Gurman's words, the designs in testing include:\n\n- A large rectangular frame, reminiscent of Ray-Ban Wayfarers\n- A slimmer rectangular design, similar to the glasses worn by Apple CEO Tim Cook\n- Larger oval or circular frames\n- A smaller, more refined oval or circular option\n\nThe designs will be instantly recognizable as Apple – what the company refers to internally as the \"icon\" – and they are set to come in \"many\" color options, says Gurman, with black, ocean blue, and light brown currently being explored.\n\nThe glasses will tightly integrate with the iPhone and Siri, and they will use computer vision to interpret the user's surroundings and feed contextual awareness into Apple Intelligence. Meanwhile, the the camera system currently being considered is described as \"vertically oriented oval lenses with surrounding lights,\" which contrasts with the circular design seen in Meta's Ray-Bans.\n\nApple is expected to unveil smart glasses as the end of 2026 or early the following year, with the actual release occurring in 2027. The glasses are said to be part of Apple's broader AI wearables strategy that also includes new [AirPods with cameras and a camera-equipped pendant](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/02\/17\/apple-ai-wearable-development\/).\n\nTags: [Apple Smart Glasses](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/apple-smart-glasses\/), [Mark Gurman](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/mark-gurman\/)\n\n[Show Full Article](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/13\/apple-smart-glasses-four-styles\/)\n\n[76 comments](https:\/\/forums.macrumors.com\/threads\/apple-testing-four-smart-glasses-styles-made-of-high-end-materials.2480837\/)\n\n## [Amazon Has Every Model of the M5 MacBook Air at \\$150 Off This Weekend](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/12\/m5-macbook-air-150-off-weekend\/)\nSunday April 12, 2026 6:53 am PDT\n\nby [Mitchel Broussard](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/author\/mitchel-broussard\/)\n\nAmazon this week introduced a few [new record low prices on the M5 MacBook Air](https:\/\/buy.geni.us\/Proxy.ashx?TSID=3088&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0GR1J6T45%3Ftag%3Dmacrumors-20%26linkCode%3Dogi%26th%3D1) and they're all still available today.

The site says that production has been pushed back by \"roughly one to two months,\" but Apple has not communicated any launch delays to suppliers. Apple is still planning for a 2026 launch, which suggests a tighter production schedule.\n\n![iphone fold text](https:\/\/images.macrumors.com\/t\/2JrnlcB81aSCeIxlgiBUERDmmU0=\/400x0\/article-new\/2025\/12\/iphone-fold-text.jpg?lossy)  \nApple planned to begin ‌iPhone Fold‌ mass production in June 2026, but mass production has now slipped to early August. Some rumors have suggested that Apple is having more manufacturing problems than expected with the Engineering Validation Test phase that the ‌iPhone Fold‌ is in right now, but other rumors suggest [that won't lead to delays](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/07\/iphone-fold-september-launch\/).\n\nLast week, Japanese site *Nikkei* said that the engineering delays could cause Apple to delay the launch of the ‌iPhone Fold‌ [until 2027](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/07\/foldable-iphone-delays-could-push-launch-into-2027\/), but *Bloomberg*'s [Mark Gurman](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/mark-gurman\/) said the ‌iPhone Fold‌ remains on track to launch \"around the same time\" or \"soon after\" the [iPhone 18 Pro](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/roundup\/iphone-18-pro\/) models in September 2026.\n\n*[DigiTimes](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/digitimes-com\/)*' report reconciles the two separate launch timing rumors, indicating that there is indeed a delay in the test phase, but Apple may be able to make up ground during the mass production phase. Prior to mass production, the ‌iPhone Fold‌ will still need to go through Design Validation Testing and Production Validation Testing.\n\nA delay in the mass production timeline could cause serious supply chain shortages, and ‌iPhone Fold‌ availability is likely to be constrained. When we hear rumors about launch issues this early in an iPhone cycle, it typically leads to severe launch shortages and a device that sells out in minutes during pre-orders.\n\nThe ‌iPhone Fold‌ is expected to cost between \\$2,000 and \\$2,500. It will be Apple's first foldable device, with a 5.5-inch display when closed and a 7.8-inch display when open. More about the device [can be found in our iPhone Fold roundup](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/roundup\/iphone-fold\/).\n\n[American Airlines Now Supports iOS 26's Revamped Wallet Boarding Passes](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/13\/american-airlines-ios-26-boarding-passes\/)\n\nMonday April 13, 2026 12:59 pm PDT by [Juli Clover](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/author\/juli-clover\/)\n\nAmerican Airlines is now supporting the enhanced boarding pass feature that Apple added in [iOS 26](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/roundup\/ios-26\/). The app's latest update says boarding passes in the Wallet app feature an updated look with [Apple Maps](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/apple-maps\/) integration, destination guides, and luggage tracking capabilities.\n\n![ios 26 wallet boarding pass](https:\/\/images.macrumors.com\/article-new\/2025\/08\/ios-26-wallet-boarding-pass.jpg)  \nApple revamped boarding passes in ‌iOS 26‌ to make them more useful to passengers who are using their iPhones for flights in lieu of a paper boarding pass. Boarding passes have maps for navigating through airports, an option to tap into [Find My](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/find-my\/) to track items equipped with AirTags, and tools for reporting missing bags to airlines. From American Airlines:\n\n> Your boarding pass has a new look with more at your fingertips, like Apple Maps, destination guides, and quick shortcuts to the app. You can also track your luggage and open Find My right from your pass.\n\nAirlines need to opt in to the new boarding passes and update their apps with support. United Airlines, Air Canada, and Southwest already have the enhanced boarding passes. Delta briefly added support, but removed it shortly after.\n\nApple also implemented Live Activities support for airlines so users can get real-time updates on a flight in ‌iOS 26‌, but it is not clear if American Airlines is supporting that feature based on the app's release notes.\n\nBack in [June 2025](https:\/\/www.apple.com\/newsroom\/2025\/06\/apple-services-deliver-powerful-features-and-intelligent-updates-to-users-this-fall\/), Apple said American Airlines was one of the airlines that would add support for the refreshed boarding passes. Other airlines listed included Air Canada, Delta Air Lines, JetBlue, Jetstar, Lufthansa Group, Qantas, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, and Virgin Australia.\n\nAmerican Airlines has also supported the ‌Find My‌ lost luggage tracking feature [since February 2025](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2025\/02\/20\/american-airlines-airtag-baggage-feature\/). In iOS 18, Apple worked with airlines to make it easier for airline employees to locate lost baggage using AirTags.\n\n[Apple Maps Ads Move Closer to Launch With iOS 26.5 Beta 2](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/13\/ios-26-2-beta-2-apple-maps-ads\/)\n\nMonday April 13, 2026 11:09 am PDT by [Juli Clover](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/author\/juli-clover\/)\n\nWith the second beta of iOS 26.5, Apple is continuing to prepare for ads in the [Apple Maps](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/apple-maps\/) app. There's a new splash screen in the app that says it will display ads based on approximate location, current search terms, or a view of the map when searching. Ads will also be shown in the \"Suggested Places\" section that was [added in the first beta](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/03\/30\/apple-ios-26-5-maps-ads-groundwork\/).\n\n![ios 26 2 ads maps app](https:\/\/images.macrumors.com\/article-new\/2026\/04\/ios-26-2-ads-maps-app.jpg)  \nApple says that advertising information is not linked to an Apple Account to preserve user privacy, so ads viewed and interacted with will not be associated with an Apple Account. Data is not collected or stored by Apple and not shared with third parties, according to Apple.\n\nSigns of ads in the Maps app were spotted in the first beta, but iOS 26.5 testers could start seeing ads with the second beta. It's not yet clear if Apple has just implemented the splash screen, or if ads are going to begin showing up in the near future.\n\n![Ads Are Coming to Apple Maps Feature](https:\/\/images.macrumors.com\/article-new\/2026\/03\/Ads-Are-Coming-to-Apple-Maps-Feature.jpg)  \nApple [announced plans](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/03\/24\/apple-maps-ads-announced\/) to introduce ads for the Maps app back in March, with ads set to roll out to the public \"this summer.\" Apple plans to include ads in the Maps app on iPhone, [iPad](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/roundup\/ipad\/), and Mac in the United States and Canada.\n\nAds in ‌Apple Maps‌ will have an \"Ad\" label, much like ads in the [App Store](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/app-store\/).\n\n[Apple Watch Series 11 Hits \\$100 Off Nearly Every Aluminum Model on Amazon](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/13\/apple-watch-series-11-100-off-3\/)\n\nAmazon this week has [all-time low prices on the Apple Watch Series 11](https:\/\/buy.geni.us\/Proxy.ashx?TSID=3088&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0FQFJ4V5M%3Ftag%3Dmacrumors-20%26th%3D1%26geniuslink%3Dtrue), with \\$100 discounts across numerous models of the smartwatch.

The Maps app has a Suggested Places feature for recommending locations to visit nearby based on trends and recent searches, plus Apple is laying the groundwork for ads in the [Apple Maps](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/apple-maps\/) app.\n\nApple is continuing to test end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for [RCS](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/rcs\/) messages between iPhone and Android users. Apple included the feature in the iOS 26.4 beta, but removed it before the update launched to the public.\n\nIn the European Union, Apple is testing proximity pairing, notification forwarding, and Live Activities for third-party wearables like earbuds and smartwatches. The functionality will allow third-party wearables to have many of the same features as the Apple Watch and AirPods.\n\nMore detail on what's new in iOS 26.5 can be found in [our iOS 26.5 beta features guide](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/03\/30\/everything-new-in-ios-26-5-beta-1\/).\n\n[Second macOS Tahoe 26.5 Beta Now Available for Developers](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/13\/apple-releases-macos-tahoe-26-5-beta-2\/)\n\nMonday April 13, 2026 10:07 am PDT by [Juli Clover](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/author\/juli-clover\/)\n\nApple today provided the second beta of an upcoming [macOS Tahoe](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/roundup\/macos-26\/) 26.5 update to developers for testing purposes, with the update coming two weeks after the first beta.\n\n![macOS Tahoe 26 Thumb 2](https:\/\/images.macrumors.com\/article-new\/2025\/06\/macOS-Tahoe-26-Thumb-2.jpg)  \nDevelopers can download the ‌macOS Tahoe‌ 26.5 update by opening up the System Settings app, selecting the General category, and then choosing Software Update. Beta Updates will need to be enabled, and a free developer account is required.\n\nNo new features were found in the first ‌macOS Tahoe‌ 26.5 beta, and it's likely the update primarily focuses on bug fixes and performance improvements.\n\n[Apple Releases Second watchOS 26.5, tvOS 26.5 and visionOS 26.5 Betas](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/13\/apple-releases-watchos-26-5-beta-2\/)\n\nMonday April 13, 2026 10:06 am PDT by [Juli Clover](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/author\/juli-clover\/)\n\nApple today provided developers with the second betas of upcoming watchOS 26.5, tvOS 26.5, and visionOS 26.5 betas for testing purposes.

Now it sits right inside the Personal Hotspot menu, making it way more practical for anyone on a capped data plan who's keen to keep an eye on usage.\n\nHere's how to check it in iOS 26.4 (you can make sure your device is up-to-date via **Settings ➝ General ➝ Software Update**).\n\n### How to Check iPhone Hotspot Data Usage\n1. Open **Settings** on your iPhone.\n2. Tap **Personal Hotspot**.\n3. Below the \"Maximize Compatibility\" toggle, tap **Data Usage**.\n\n![ios hotspot data usage](https:\/\/images.macrumors.com\/article-new\/2026\/04\/ios-hotspot-data-usage.jpeg)\n\nHere you'll see a list of connected devices along with how much data each one has consumed, as well as a total figure across all devices. Note that Apple devices running iOS 26.4 or macOS 26.4 appear individually by name, whereas Android phones, Windows PCs, and anything running older Apple software are grouped together under \"Other Devices.\"\n\nBear in mind that the Data Usage option only appears if you've used Personal Hotspot recently.

Apple's patents have described a design where the glass is thinner at the fold for flexibility and thicker elsewhere for durability, which is an approach consistent with [reports last year](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2025\/12\/22\/iphone-foldable-ultra-thin-glass-crease\/) that Apple was testing uneven-thickness panels, and [more recently](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/03\/23\/foldable-iphone-layered-glass-reduce-crease\/) that it may use a dual-layer glass structure to spread stress across multiple layers.\n\nThe single most important factor, TrendForce says, is OCA. Modern formulations go well beyond simple bonding, staying pliable during gradual bending to reduce fatigue while temporarily stiffening under sudden impact to provide structural support. Over time, the adhesive's ability to flow into microscopic irregularities also reduces light scattering and keeps the crease less visible.\n\nHinge and structural engineering still matter too. Samsung Display uses laser drilling in the metal support plate behind the display to balance rigidity and flexibility, a technique analyst [Ming-Chi Kuo](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/ming-chi-kuo\/) [reported last July](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2025\/07\/15\/foldable-iphone-crease-free-samsung-display\/) that Apple's foldable would also use via supplier Fine M-Tec. [Samsung briefly showcased](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/01\/06\/foldable-iphone-display-previewed-ces-2026\/) a crease-free panel at [CES 2026](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/ces-2026\/), though it later clarified this was an R\\&D concept rather than a production-ready design.\n\nApple has reportedly [pursued eliminating the crease](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2025\/02\/25\/apple-2026-foldable-phone-has-no-crease\/) \"regardless of cost\", and leaker \"Fixed Focus Digital\" [reported in February](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/02\/25\/iphone-fold-crease-measured-production\/) that production orders had been placed with a crease depth under 0.15mm and a crease angle under 2.5 degrees. TrendForce estimates Apple could capture close to 20% of the foldable smartphone market this year, which it says would compress Samsung and Huawei to roughly 30% each.\n\nThe foldable iPhone is expected to be unveiled alongside the [iPhone 18 Pro](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/roundup\/iphone-18-pro\/) models in September. Foxconn [began trial production last week](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/06\/iphone-fold-trial-production\/), and Samsung Display is reportedly on track to begin mass production of OLED panels for the device in May.\n\n[Get Up to \\$200 Off 2026 MacBook Pro With Record Low Prices on Amazon](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/13\/2026-macbook-pro-low-prices-2\/)\n\nAmazon is offering a few [all-time low prices on Apple's M5 Pro\/M5 Max MacBook Pro](https:\/\/buy.geni.us\/Proxy.ashx?TSID=3088&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0GR17YNHL%3Ftag%3Dmacrumors-20%26linkCode%3Dogi%26th%3D1), with up to \\$200 off select models without the need of a membership or clipping a coupon.

The latest version improves network performance, allows streaming up to 4K resolutions, and allows users to dynamically adjust the curve of the display in panoramic mode.\n\nThe one limitation worth bearing in mind is that the client is for 2D streaming only and does not support VR content. Whether this will change in the future is unclear. Valve announced its intention to release a native Steam Link app for visionOS [earlier this month](https:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/app\/353380\/discussions\/7\/806847328212494915\/), but the company has yet to share a general release date.\n\n[New Huawei Foldable Looks a Lot Like Apple's Rumored iPhone Fold](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/13\/huawei-foldable-similar-foldable-iphone\/)\n\nMonday April 13, 2026 4:47 am PDT by [Tim Hardwick](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/author\/tim-hardwick\/)\n\nApple's upcoming foldable iPhone is expected to feature a book-style form factor that's relatively uncommon in the foldables market, but Huawei's new Pura X Max appears to share a similar wide aspect ratio.\n\n![huawei pura x max](https:\/\/images.macrumors.com\/article-new\/2026\/04\/huawei-pura-x-max.jpg)  \nSet to be released in China next week, Huawei's new device actually builds upon a design used by the original, smaller [Pura X](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Huawei_Pura_X), which was marketed last year as an extra-wide flip phone. Little is known about the Pura X Max beyond its triple lens rear camera, while [Huawei's imagery](https:\/\/m.weibo.cn\/detail\/5287195914013746) shows the device being used in both portrait and landscape.\n\nPrior to the Pura X Max's unveiling, Apple's rumored device was said to most resemble [Oppo's Find N5](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2025\/02\/20\/worlds-thinnest-foldable-launches\/). Samsung is also believed to be adopting a similar wide aspect ratio form factor for one of its upcoming foldables.\n\nWe've heard plenty of rumors about the foldable iPhone‌'s design, but the first alleged dummy models [appeared last week](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/07\/foldable-iphone-design-revealed\/). The device will have a 5.5-inch display when closed, making it Apple's smallest current-generation iPhone. When open, it will be around 7.8 inches, which is around half an inch smaller than the iPad mini.\n\nApple is expected to debut its first foldable alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models in September, with a launch likely to shortly follow the Pro devices' release. Most rumors have suggested that the ‌foldable iPhone will start at around \\$2,000 and be available in traditional space gray\/black and silver\/white finishes.\n\n![huawei pura x max 1](https:\/\/images.macrumors.com\/article-new\/2026\/04\/huawei-pura-x-max-1.jpg)  \nOne rumor claims that Apple will call it the \"[iPhone Ultra](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/07\/foldable-iphone-fold-iphone-ultra\/),\" rather than \"iPhone Fold,\" which is the shorthand the media has largely been using.\n\n[Apple's AI Chief John Giannandrea Departs This Week](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/13\/john-giannandrea-departs-apple-this-week\/)\n\nJohn Giannandrea, Apple's former head of artificial intelligence, is set to leave the company this week as his final stock vesting date approaches.\n\n![apple intelligence black](https:\/\/images.macrumors.com\/article-new\/2024\/09\/apple-intelligence-black.jpeg)  \nIn his [\"Power On\" newsletter](https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/newsletters\/2026-04-12\/apple-ai-smart-glasses-features-styles-colors-cameras-giannandrea-leaving-mnvtz4yg), [Mark Gurman](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/mark-gurman\/) noted that Giannandrea's exit has been a prolonged one. Apple moved to dramatically reduce his role in March 2025 following the [disappointing launch of Apple Intelligence](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2025\/04\/10\/chaos-behind-siri-revealed\/) and ongoing delays to the [Siri](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/siri\/) overhaul, stripping him of oversight of ‌Siri‌, robotics, and other AI teams at that time. The company [made the departure official](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2025\/12\/01\/apple-ai-chief-retiring-after-siri-failure\/) at the end of last year, announcing that Giannandrea would be retiring in 2026.\n\nIn the intervening months, Giannandrea has been in an advisory role, what Gurman described as \"resting and vesting,\" meaning remaining on the payroll until stock grants vest. With Apple's next vesting date falling on April 15, Gurman says Giannandrea's final days at the company are this week. His remaining responsibilities, which covered Apple's foundation models, AI testing, and various other functions, were divided between software chief Craig Federighi, services head [Eddy Cue](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/eddy-cue\/), and operating chief Sabih Khan.\n\nGiannandrea joined Apple from Google in 2018. Gurman says he is unlikely to join another major technology company and is instead expected to take seats on corporate boards and pursue startup advisory work.\n\nGurman offered a broader assessment of why Giannandrea's tenure failed to produce results, pushing back on the notion that Cook simply struggles with outside hires: \"The truth is that the top of Apple is run like a small family business with few decision-makers. And if you're not in the inner circle — which is nearly impossible to crack — you're simply not empowered enough to drive real change at the company.\"\n\n[iPhone 18 Pro Deep Red Color Likely as Android Rivals Prep Same Shade](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/13\/iphone-18-pro-deep-red-color\/)\n\nMonday April 13, 2026 3:22 am PDT by [Tim Hardwick](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/author\/tim-hardwick\/)\n\nApple's upcoming iPhone 18 Pro is very likely to come in a new deep red color, claims a Chinese leaker, because the color is already being prototyped by Android phone makers.\n\n![iPhone 18 Pro Deep Red Feature](https:\/\/images.macrumors.com\/article-new\/2026\/02\/iPhone-18-Pro-Deep-Red-Feature.jpg)  \nIn February, *Bloomberg*'s Mark Gurman [reported](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/02\/22\/iphone-18-pro-foldable-iphone-rumored-colors\/) that Apple is testing a deep red finish for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Rumors of [purple and brown finishes](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2025\/11\/04\/iphone-18-pro-rumored-colors\/) have also circulated, but Gurman believes those are just variants of the same red idea.\n\nWeibo-based leaker [Digital Chat Station](https:\/\/weibo.com\/6048569942\/QAjhYFjcC) has now thrown their weight behind the rumor. In a post shared over the weekend, the leaker said there was a high likelihood that Apple is testing the deep red finish, based on the fact that they have seen the same color in prototypes of next-generation Android phones by rival brands.\n\nIt's unclear if the leaker is suggesting that Android makers have inside knowledge of Apple's color plans and are aiming to match it, or that the color's appearance is a sign of shared trend forecasting. Both Apple and Android OEMs likely rely on global color forecasting agencies that track fashion trends, and if deep red is \"on trend,\" several companies could end up adopting it independently. However, Android makers are also well known for [copying Apple's design trends](https:\/\/x.com\/techdroider\/status\/2042526496313454829?s=20).\n\nAccording to [Instant Digital](https:\/\/weibo.com\/5143897135\/QyWIVEux9), another Weibo-based leaker, Apple's iPhone 18 Pro models won't come in black this year. If the rumor is true, it will be the second consecutive year Apple has ditched what was arguably its most classic color option for the Pro lineup. The premium devices are expected to arrive this September alongside Apple's [first foldable iPhone](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/10\/iphone-fold-rumor-recap\/).\n\n[Apple Testing Four Smart Glasses Styles Made of High-End Materials](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/13\/apple-smart-glasses-four-styles\/)\n\nMonday April 13, 2026 2:29 am PDT by [Tim Hardwick](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/author\/tim-hardwick\/)\n\nApple is developing at least four different styles of smart glasses, and the company is betting that their superior design will set them apart from rival products, according to *Bloomberg*'s Mark Gurman.\n\n![Apple Glasses Blue Feature](https:\/\/images.macrumors.com\/article-new\/2021\/01\/Apple-Glasses-Blue-Feature.jpg)  \nWriting in his latest [Power On newsletter](https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/newsletters\/2026-04-12\/apple-ai-smart-glasses-features-styles-colors-cameras-giannandrea-leaving-mnvtz4yg), Gurman says that Apple's latest designs are made from a high-end material called acetate, which is \"more durable and luxurious\" than the standard plastic used by most existing brands. In Gurman's words, the designs in testing include:\n\n- A large rectangular frame, reminiscent of Ray-Ban Wayfarers\n- A slimmer rectangular design, similar to the glasses worn by Apple CEO Tim Cook\n- Larger oval or circular frames\n- A smaller, more refined oval or circular option\n\nThe designs will be instantly recognizable as Apple – what the company refers to internally as the \"icon\" – and they are set to come in \"many\" color options, says Gurman, with black, ocean blue, and light brown currently being explored.\n\nThe glasses will tightly integrate with the iPhone and Siri, and they will use computer vision to interpret the user's surroundings and feed contextual awareness into Apple Intelligence. Meanwhile, the the camera system currently being considered is described as \"vertically oriented oval lenses with surrounding lights,\" which contrasts with the circular design seen in Meta's Ray-Bans.\n\nApple is expected to unveil smart glasses as the end of 2026 or early the following year, with the actual release occurring in 2027. The glasses are said to be part of Apple's broader AI wearables strategy that also includes new [AirPods with cameras and a camera-equipped pendant](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/02\/17\/apple-ai-wearable-development\/).\n\n[Amazon Has Every Model of the M5 MacBook Air at \\$150 Off This Weekend](https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/04\/12\/m5-macbook-air-150-off-weekend\/)\n\nAmazon this week introduced a few [new record low prices on the M5 MacBook Air](https:\/\/buy.geni.us\/Proxy.ashx?TSID=3088&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0GR1J6T45%3Ftag%3Dmacrumors-20%26linkCode%3Dogi%26th%3D1) and they're all still available today.

Boilerpipe Text	iPhone Fold Production Pushed Back, But Fall 2026 Launch Still on Track Production on the iPhone Fold is behind schedule, but the device is still slated to launch in fall 2026, reports DigiTimes . The site says that production has been pushed back by "roughly one to two months," but Apple has not communicated any launch delays to suppliers. Apple is still planning for a 2026 launch, which suggests a tighter production schedule. Apple planned to begin ‌iPhone Fold‌ mass production in June 2026, but mass production has now slipped to early August. Some rumors have suggested that Apple is having more manufacturing problems than expected with the Engineering Validation Test phase that the ‌iPhone Fold‌ is in right now, but other rumors suggest that won't lead to delays . Last week, Japanese site Nikkei said that the engineering delays could cause Apple to delay the launch of the ‌iPhone Fold‌ until 2027 , but Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman said the ‌iPhone Fold‌ remains on track to launch "around the same time" or "soon after" the iPhone 18 Pro models in September 2026. DigiTimes ' report reconciles the two separate launch timing rumors, indicating that there is indeed a delay in the test phase, but Apple may be able to make up ground during the mass production phase. Prior to mass production, the ‌iPhone Fold‌ will still need to go through Design Validation Testing and Production Validation Testing. A delay in the mass production timeline could cause serious supply chain shortages, and ‌iPhone Fold‌ availability is likely to be constrained. When we hear rumors about launch issues this early in an iPhone cycle, it typically leads to severe launch shortages and a device that sells out in minutes during pre-orders. The ‌iPhone Fold‌ is expected to cost between $2,000 and $2,500. It will be Apple's first foldable device, with a 5.5-inch display when closed and a 7.8-inch display when open. More about the device can be found in our iPhone Fold roundup . American Airlines Now Supports iOS 26's Revamped Wallet Boarding Passes Monday April 13, 2026 12:59 pm PDT by Juli Clover American Airlines is now supporting the enhanced boarding pass feature that Apple added in iOS 26 . The app's latest update says boarding passes in the Wallet app feature an updated look with Apple Maps integration, destination guides, and luggage tracking capabilities. Apple revamped boarding passes in ‌iOS 26‌ to make them more useful to passengers who are using their iPhones for flights in lieu of a paper boarding pass. Boarding passes have maps for navigating through airports, an option to tap into Find My to track items equipped with AirTags, and tools for reporting missing bags to airlines. From American Airlines: Your boarding pass has a new look with more at your fingertips, like Apple Maps, destination guides, and quick shortcuts to the app. You can also track your luggage and open Find My right from your pass. Airlines need to opt in to the new boarding passes and update their apps with support. United Airlines, Air Canada, and Southwest already have the enhanced boarding passes. Delta briefly added support, but removed it shortly after. Apple also implemented Live Activities support for airlines so users can get real-time updates on a flight in ‌iOS 26‌, but it is not clear if American Airlines is supporting that feature based on the app's release notes. Back in June 2025 , Apple said American Airlines was one of the airlines that would add support for the refreshed boarding passes. Other airlines listed included Air Canada, Delta Air Lines, JetBlue, Jetstar, Lufthansa Group, Qantas, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, and Virgin Australia. American Airlines has also supported the ‌Find My‌ lost luggage tracking feature since February 2025 . In iOS 18, Apple worked with airlines to make it easier for airline employees to locate lost baggage using AirTags. Apple Maps Ads Move Closer to Launch With iOS 26.5 Beta 2 Monday April 13, 2026 11:09 am PDT by Juli Clover With the second beta of iOS 26.5, Apple is continuing to prepare for ads in the Apple Maps app. There's a new splash screen in the app that says it will display ads based on approximate location, current search terms, or a view of the map when searching. Ads will also be shown in the "Suggested Places" section that was added in the first beta . Apple says that advertising information is not linked to an Apple Account to preserve user privacy, so ads viewed and interacted with will not be associated with an Apple Account. Data is not collected or stored by Apple and not shared with third parties, according to Apple. Signs of ads in the Maps app were spotted in the first beta, but iOS 26.5 testers could start seeing ads with the second beta. It's not yet clear if Apple has just implemented the splash screen, or if ads are going to begin showing up in the near future. Apple announced plans to introduce ads for the Maps app back in March, with ads set to roll out to the public "this summer." Apple plans to include ads in the Maps app on iPhone, iPad , and Mac in the United States and Canada. Ads in ‌Apple Maps‌ will have an "Ad" label, much like ads in the App Store . Apple Watch Series 11 Hits $100 Off Nearly Every Aluminum Model on Amazon Amazon this week has all-time low prices on the Apple Watch Series 11 , with $100 discounts across numerous models of the smartwatch. This sale includes nearly every aluminum model of the Series 11 on sale at a record low price. Note: MacRumors is an affiliate partner with Amazon. When you click a link and make a purchase, we may receive a small payment, which helps us keep the site running. You can get the 42mm GPS Apple Watch Series 11 for $299.00 , down from $399.00, and the 46mm GPS model for $329.00 , down from $429.00. On Amazon, you'll find four of both the 42mm and 46mm GPS models on sale at these all-time low prices. If you're shopping for cellular models, you can find record low prices on multiple models this week on Amazon. The 42mm cellular Apple Watch Series 11 has hit $399.00 , down from $499.00, and the 46mm cellular model has hit $429.00 , down from $529.00.

Apple Seeds Second iOS 26.5 and iPadOS 26.5 Betas to Developers Monday April 13, 2026 10:08 am PDT by Juli Clover Apple today seeded the second betas of upcoming iOS 26.5 and iPadOS 26.5 updates to developers for testing purposes, with the software coming two weeks after Apple released updated first betas. Registered developers can download the betas from the Settings app on the iPhone or iPad by going to the General section and selecting Software Update. iOS 26.5 and iPadOS 26.5 do not include new Siri capabilities, suggesting any ‌Siri‌ updates are being held until iOS 27 . The Maps app has a Suggested Places feature for recommending locations to visit nearby based on trends and recent searches, plus Apple is laying the groundwork for ads in the Apple Maps app. Apple is continuing to test end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for RCS messages between iPhone and Android users. Apple included the feature in the iOS 26.4 beta, but removed it before the update launched to the public. In the European Union, Apple is testing proximity pairing, notification forwarding, and Live Activities for third-party wearables like earbuds and smartwatches. The functionality will allow third-party wearables to have many of the same features as the Apple Watch and AirPods. More detail on what's new in iOS 26.5 can be found in our iOS 26.5 beta features guide . Second macOS Tahoe 26.5 Beta Now Available for Developers Monday April 13, 2026 10:07 am PDT by Juli Clover Apple today provided the second beta of an upcoming macOS Tahoe 26.5 update to developers for testing purposes, with the update coming two weeks after the first beta. Developers can download the ‌macOS Tahoe‌ 26.5 update by opening up the System Settings app, selecting the General category, and then choosing Software Update. Beta Updates will need to be enabled, and a free developer account is required. No new features were found in the first ‌macOS Tahoe‌ 26.5 beta, and it's likely the update primarily focuses on bug fixes and performance improvements. Apple Releases Second watchOS 26.5, tvOS 26.5 and visionOS 26.5 Betas Monday April 13, 2026 10:06 am PDT by Juli Clover Apple today provided developers with the second betas of upcoming watchOS 26.5, tvOS 26.5, and visionOS 26.5 betas for testing purposes. The software comes two weeks after Apple released the first betas for each platform. The software updates are available through the Settings app on each device, and because these are developer betas, a free developer account is required. There's no word on what's in the software as of yet. watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS often get few features in each new beta, with updates primarily focusing on bug fixes and performance improvements. Nothing new was found in the first betas. Check Who's Using Your iPhone Hotspot Data Monday April 13, 2026 7:34 am PDT by Tim Hardwick If you regularly share your iPhone's data connection with your laptop or iPad, or let family members piggyback on your device's data, you'll be glad to learn that Apple recently made it a lot easier to keep tabs on who's burning through your monthly allowance. In a welcome change with the release of iOS 26.4, Apple has moved Personal Hotspot data usage info out of its previous hiding spot and put it in a much more convenient location. Before the latest update, Personal Hotspot's per-device breakdown was secreted away inside cellular settings, where it was easy to miss. Now it sits right inside the Personal Hotspot menu, making it way more practical for anyone on a capped data plan who's keen to keep an eye on usage. Here's how to check it in iOS 26.4 (you can make sure your device is up-to-date via Settings ➝ General ➝ Software Update ). How to Check iPhone Hotspot Data Usage Open Settings on your iPhone. Tap Personal Hotspot . Below the "Maximize Compatibility" toggle, tap Data Usage . Here you'll see a list of connected devices along with how much data each one has consumed, as well as a total figure across all devices. Note that Apple devices running iOS 26.4 or macOS 26.4 appear individually by name, whereas Android phones, Windows PCs, and anything running older Apple software are grouped together under "Other Devices." Bear in mind that the Data Usage option only appears if you've used Personal Hotspot recently. If you want, you can clear the figures and start tracking anew by heading to Settings ➝ Cellular/Mobile Service and resetting your overall cellular usage statistics (the option at the bottom). This wipes your hotspot numbers at the same time. Smart Adhesive Is Key to Crease-Free Foldable iPhone Display Advances in optically clear adhesive (OCA) will be a key factor in achieving a near-invisible crease in Apple's first foldable iPhone expected later this year, according to TrendForce . The supply chain intelligence firm outlined the key technologies in a new report on foldable display innovation, explaining that creases form when layers within the display panel fall out of alignment, concentrating stress at the fold and causing micro-cracks or permanent deformation over time. Ultra-thin glass (UTG) also plays a role in the optimal design. Apple's patents have described a design where the glass is thinner at the fold for flexibility and thicker elsewhere for durability, which is an approach consistent with reports last year that Apple was testing uneven-thickness panels, and more recently that it may use a dual-layer glass structure to spread stress across multiple layers. The single most important factor, TrendForce says, is OCA. Modern formulations go well beyond simple bonding, staying pliable during gradual bending to reduce fatigue while temporarily stiffening under sudden impact to provide structural support. Over time, the adhesive's ability to flow into microscopic irregularities also reduces light scattering and keeps the crease less visible. Hinge and structural engineering still matter too. Samsung Display uses laser drilling in the metal support plate behind the display to balance rigidity and flexibility, a technique analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported last July that Apple's foldable would also use via supplier Fine M-Tec. Samsung briefly showcased a crease-free panel at CES 2026 , though it later clarified this was an R&D concept rather than a production-ready design. Apple has reportedly pursued eliminating the crease "regardless of cost", and leaker "Fixed Focus Digital" reported in February that production orders had been placed with a crease depth under 0.15mm and a crease angle under 2.5 degrees. TrendForce estimates Apple could capture close to 20% of the foldable smartphone market this year, which it says would compress Samsung and Huawei to roughly 30% each. The foldable iPhone is expected to be unveiled alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models in September. Foxconn began trial production last week , and Samsung Display is reportedly on track to begin mass production of OLED panels for the device in May.

Valve's Steam Link App Is Coming to Apple Vision Pro Monday April 13, 2026 6:14 am PDT by Tim Hardwick Valve's Steam Link app , which is designed to let you stream games from your main gaming computer to another device, is coming to Apple Vision Pro. The upcoming app for visionOS means users will be able to wirelessly stream games from Steam running on their Mac or PC to their Vision Pro headset, assuming the devices are on the same local network. Prior to its official release, Valve is offering access to a beta of the app via TestFlight . The latest version improves network performance, allows streaming up to 4K resolutions, and allows users to dynamically adjust the curve of the display in panoramic mode. The one limitation worth bearing in mind is that the client is for 2D streaming only and does not support VR content. Whether this will change in the future is unclear. Valve announced its intention to release a native Steam Link app for visionOS earlier this month , but the company has yet to share a general release date. New Huawei Foldable Looks a Lot Like Apple's Rumored iPhone Fold Monday April 13, 2026 4:47 am PDT by Tim Hardwick Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone is expected to feature a book-style form factor that's relatively uncommon in the foldables market, but Huawei's new Pura X Max appears to share a similar wide aspect ratio. Set to be released in China next week, Huawei's new device actually builds upon a design used by the original, smaller Pura X , which was marketed last year as an extra-wide flip phone. Little is known about the Pura X Max beyond its triple lens rear camera, while Huawei's imagery shows the device being used in both portrait and landscape. Prior to the Pura X Max's unveiling, Apple's rumored device was said to most resemble Oppo's Find N5 . Samsung is also believed to be adopting a similar wide aspect ratio form factor for one of its upcoming foldables. We've heard plenty of rumors about the foldable iPhone‌'s design, but the first alleged dummy models appeared last week . The device will have a 5.5-inch display when closed, making it Apple's smallest current-generation iPhone. When open, it will be around 7.8 inches, which is around half an inch smaller than the iPad mini. Apple is expected to debut its first foldable alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models in September, with a launch likely to shortly follow the Pro devices' release. Most rumors have suggested that the ‌foldable iPhone will start at around $2,000 and be available in traditional space gray/black and silver/white finishes. One rumor claims that Apple will call it the " iPhone Ultra ," rather than "iPhone Fold," which is the shorthand the media has largely been using. Apple's AI Chief John Giannandrea Departs This Week John Giannandrea, Apple's former head of artificial intelligence, is set to leave the company this week as his final stock vesting date approaches. In his "Power On" newsletter , Mark Gurman noted that Giannandrea's exit has been a prolonged one. Apple moved to dramatically reduce his role in March 2025 following the disappointing launch of Apple Intelligence and ongoing delays to the Siri overhaul, stripping him of oversight of ‌Siri‌, robotics, and other AI teams at that time. The company made the departure official at the end of last year, announcing that Giannandrea would be retiring in 2026. In the intervening months, Giannandrea has been in an advisory role, what Gurman described as "resting and vesting," meaning remaining on the payroll until stock grants vest. With Apple's next vesting date falling on April 15, Gurman says Giannandrea's final days at the company are this week. His remaining responsibilities, which covered Apple's foundation models, AI testing, and various other functions, were divided between software chief Craig Federighi, services head Eddy Cue , and operating chief Sabih Khan. Giannandrea joined Apple from Google in 2018. Gurman says he is unlikely to join another major technology company and is instead expected to take seats on corporate boards and pursue startup advisory work. Gurman offered a broader assessment of why Giannandrea's tenure failed to produce results, pushing back on the notion that Cook simply struggles with outside hires: "The truth is that the top of Apple is run like a small family business with few decision-makers. And if you're not in the inner circle — which is nearly impossible to crack — you're simply not empowered enough to drive real change at the company." iPhone 18 Pro Deep Red Color Likely as Android Rivals Prep Same Shade Monday April 13, 2026 3:22 am PDT by Tim Hardwick Apple's upcoming iPhone 18 Pro is very likely to come in a new deep red color, claims a Chinese leaker, because the color is already being prototyped by Android phone makers. In February, Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman reported that Apple is testing a deep red finish for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Rumors of purple and brown finishes have also circulated, but Gurman believes those are just variants of the same red idea. Weibo-based leaker Digital Chat Station has now thrown their weight behind the rumor. In a post shared over the weekend, the leaker said there was a high likelihood that Apple is testing the deep red finish, based on the fact that they have seen the same color in prototypes of next-generation Android phones by rival brands. It's unclear if the leaker is suggesting that Android makers have inside knowledge of Apple's color plans and are aiming to match it, or that the color's appearance is a sign of shared trend forecasting. Both Apple and Android OEMs likely rely on global color forecasting agencies that track fashion trends, and if deep red is "on trend," several companies could end up adopting it independently. However, Android makers are also well known for copying Apple's design trends . According to Instant Digital , another Weibo-based leaker, Apple's iPhone 18 Pro models won't come in black this year. If the rumor is true, it will be the second consecutive year Apple has ditched what was arguably its most classic color option for the Pro lineup. The premium devices are expected to arrive this September alongside Apple's first foldable iPhone . Apple Testing Four Smart Glasses Styles Made of High-End Materials Monday April 13, 2026 2:29 am PDT by Tim Hardwick Apple is developing at least four different styles of smart glasses, and the company is betting that their superior design will set them apart from rival products, according to Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman. Writing in his latest Power On newsletter , Gurman says that Apple's latest designs are made from a high-end material called acetate, which is "more durable and luxurious" than the standard plastic used by most existing brands. In Gurman's words, the designs in testing include: A large rectangular frame, reminiscent of Ray-Ban Wayfarers A slimmer rectangular design, similar to the glasses worn by Apple CEO Tim Cook Larger oval or circular frames A smaller, more refined oval or circular option The designs will be instantly recognizable as Apple – what the company refers to internally as the "icon" – and they are set to come in "many" color options, says Gurman, with black, ocean blue, and light brown currently being explored. The glasses will tightly integrate with the iPhone and Siri, and they will use computer vision to interpret the user's surroundings and feed contextual awareness into Apple Intelligence. Meanwhile, the the camera system currently being considered is described as "vertically oriented oval lenses with surrounding lights," which contrasts with the circular design seen in Meta's Ray-Bans. Apple is expected to unveil smart glasses as the end of 2026 or early the following year, with the actual release occurring in 2027. The glasses are said to be part of Apple's broader AI wearables strategy that also includes new AirPods with cameras and a camera-equipped pendant .

The site says that production has been pushed back by "roughly one to two months," but Apple has not communicated any launch delays to suppliers. Apple is still planning for a 2026 launch, which suggests a tighter production schedule. ![iphone fold text](https://images.macrumors.com/t/2JrnlcB81aSCeIxlgiBUERDmmU0=/400x0/article-new/2025/12/iphone-fold-text.jpg?lossy) Apple planned to begin ‌iPhone Fold‌ mass production in June 2026, but mass production has now slipped to early August. Some rumors have suggested that Apple is having more manufacturing problems than expected with the Engineering Validation Test phase that the ‌iPhone Fold‌ is in right now, but other rumors suggest [that won't lead to delays](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/07/iphone-fold-september-launch/). Last week, Japanese site Nikkei said that the engineering delays could cause Apple to delay the launch of the ‌iPhone Fold‌ [until 2027](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/07/foldable-iphone-delays-could-push-launch-into-2027/), but Bloomberg's [Mark Gurman](https://www.macrumors.com/guide/mark-gurman/) said the ‌iPhone Fold‌ remains on track to launch "around the same time" or "soon after" the [iPhone 18 Pro](https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-18-pro/) models in September 2026. [DigiTimes](https://www.macrumors.com/guide/digitimes-com/)' report reconciles the two separate launch timing rumors, indicating that there is indeed a delay in the test phase, but Apple may be able to make up ground during the mass production phase. Prior to mass production, the ‌iPhone Fold‌ will still need to go through Design Validation Testing and Production Validation Testing. A delay in the mass production timeline could cause serious supply chain shortages, and ‌iPhone Fold‌ availability is likely to be constrained. When we hear rumors about launch issues this early in an iPhone cycle, it typically leads to severe launch shortages and a device that sells out in minutes during pre-orders. The ‌iPhone Fold‌ is expected to cost between \$2,000 and \$2,500. It will be Apple's first foldable device, with a 5.5-inch display when closed and a 7.8-inch display when open.

The app's latest update says boarding passes in the Wallet app feature an updated look with [Apple Maps](https://www.macrumors.com/guide/apple-maps/) integration, destination guides, and luggage tracking capabilities. ![ios 26 wallet boarding pass](https://images.macrumors.com/images-new/1x1.trans.gif)![ios 26 wallet boarding pass](https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2025/08/ios-26-wallet-boarding-pass.jpg) Apple revamped boarding passes in ‌iOS 26‌ to make them more useful to passengers who are using their iPhones for flights in lieu of a paper boarding pass. Boarding passes have maps for navigating through airports, an option to tap into [Find My](https://www.macrumors.com/guide/find-my/) to track items equipped with AirTags, and tools for reporting missing bags to airlines. From American Airlines: > Your boarding pass has a new look with more at your fingertips, like Apple Maps, destination guides, and quick shortcuts to the app. You can also track your luggage and open Find My right from your pass. Airlines need to opt in to the new boarding passes and update their apps with support. United Airlines, Air Canada, and Southwest already have the enhanced boarding passes. Delta briefly added support, but removed it shortly after. Apple also implemented Live Activities support for airlines so users can get real-time updates on a flight in ‌iOS 26‌, but it is not clear if American Airlines is supporting that feature based on the app's release notes. Back in [June 2025](https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/06/apple-services-deliver-powerful-features-and-intelligent-updates-to-users-this-fall/), Apple said American Airlines was one of the airlines that would add support for the refreshed boarding passes. Other airlines listed included Air Canada, Delta Air Lines, JetBlue, Jetstar, Lufthansa Group, Qantas, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, and Virgin Australia. American Airlines has also supported the ‌Find My‌ lost luggage tracking feature [since February 2025](https://www.macrumors.com/2025/02/20/american-airlines-airtag-baggage-feature/). In iOS 18, Apple worked with airlines to make it easier for airline employees to locate lost baggage using AirTags.

Data is not collected or stored by Apple and not shared with third parties, according to Apple. Signs of ads in the Maps app were spotted in the first beta, but iOS 26.5 testers could start seeing ads with the second beta.

The Maps app has a Suggested Places feature for recommending locations to visit nearby based on trends and recent searches, plus Apple is laying the groundwork for ads in the [Apple Maps](https://www.macrumors.com/guide/apple-maps/) app. Apple is continuing to test end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for [RCS](https://www.macrumors.com/guide/rcs/) messages between iPhone and Android users. Apple included the feature in the iOS 26.4 beta, but removed it before the update launched to the public. In the European Union, Apple is testing proximity pairing, notification forwarding, and Live Activities for third-party wearables like earbuds and smartwatches.

Before the latest update, Personal Hotspot's per-device breakdown was secreted away inside cellular settings, where it was easy to miss. Now it sits right inside the Personal Hotspot menu, making it way more practical for anyone on a capped data plan who's keen to keep an eye on usage. Here's how to check it in iOS 26.4 (you can make sure your device is up-to-date via Settings ➝ General ➝ Software Update). ### How to Check iPhone Hotspot Data Usage 1. Open Settings on your iPhone. 2. Tap Personal Hotspot. 3. Below the "Maximize Compatibility" toggle, tap Data Usage. ![ios hotspot data usage](https://images.macrumors.com/images-new/1x1.trans.gif)![ios hotspot data usage](https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/04/ios-hotspot-data-usage.jpeg) Here you'll see a list of connected devices along with how much data each one has consumed, as well as a total figure across all devices. Note that Apple devices running iOS 26.4 or macOS 26.4 appear individually by name, whereas Android phones, Windows PCs, and anything running older Apple software are grouped together under "Other Devices." Bear in mind that the Data Usage option only appears if you've used Personal Hotspot recently. If you want, you can clear the figures and start tracking anew by heading to Settings ➝ Cellular/Mobile Service** and resetting your overall cellular usage statistics (the option at the bottom). This wipes your hotspot numbers at the same time.

Ultra-thin glass (UTG) also plays a role in the optimal design. Apple's patents have described a design where the glass is thinner at the fold for flexibility and thicker elsewhere for durability, which is an approach consistent with [reports last year](https://www.macrumors.com/2025/12/22/iphone-foldable-ultra-thin-glass-crease/) that Apple was testing uneven-thickness panels, and [more recently](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/03/23/foldable-iphone-layered-glass-reduce-crease/) that it may use a dual-layer glass structure to spread stress across multiple layers. The single most important factor, TrendForce says, is OCA. Modern formulations go well beyond simple bonding, staying pliable during gradual bending to reduce fatigue while temporarily stiffening under sudden impact to provide structural support. Over time, the adhesive's ability to flow into microscopic irregularities also reduces light scattering and keeps the crease less visible. Hinge and structural engineering still matter too. Samsung Display uses laser drilling in the metal support plate behind the display to balance rigidity and flexibility, a technique analyst [Ming-Chi Kuo](https://www.macrumors.com/guide/ming-chi-kuo/) [reported last July](https://www.macrumors.com/2025/07/15/foldable-iphone-crease-free-samsung-display/) that Apple's foldable would also use via supplier Fine M-Tec. [Samsung briefly showcased](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/01/06/foldable-iphone-display-previewed-ces-2026/) a crease-free panel at [CES 2026](https://www.macrumors.com/guide/ces-2026/), though it later clarified this was an R\&D concept rather than a production-ready design. Apple has reportedly [pursued eliminating the crease](https://www.macrumors.com/2025/02/25/apple-2026-foldable-phone-has-no-crease/) "regardless of cost", and leaker "Fixed Focus Digital" [reported in February](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/02/25/iphone-fold-crease-measured-production/) that production orders had been placed with a crease depth under 0.15mm and a crease angle under 2.5 degrees. TrendForce estimates Apple could capture close to 20% of the foldable smartphone market this year, which it says would compress Samsung and Huawei to roughly 30% each. The foldable iPhone is expected to be unveiled alongside the [iPhone 18 Pro](https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-18-pro/) models in September. Foxconn [began trial production last week](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/06/iphone-fold-trial-production/), and Samsung Display is reportedly on track to begin mass production of OLED panels for the device in May.

Prior to its official release, Valve is offering access to a beta of the app via [TestFlight](https://testflight.apple.com/join/Cye7Gfyy). The latest version improves network performance, allows streaming up to 4K resolutions, and allows users to dynamically adjust the curve of the display in panoramic mode. The one limitation worth bearing in mind is that the client is for 2D streaming only and does not support VR content. Whether this will change in the future is unclear. Valve announced its intention to release a native Steam Link app for visionOS [earlier this month](https://steamcommunity.com/app/353380/discussions/7/806847328212494915/), but the company has yet to share a general release date.

Little is known about the Pura X Max beyond its triple lens rear camera, while [Huawei's imagery](https://m.weibo.cn/detail/5287195914013746) shows the device being used in both portrait and landscape. Prior to the Pura X Max's unveiling, Apple's rumored device was said to most resemble [Oppo's Find N5](https://www.macrumors.com/2025/02/20/worlds-thinnest-foldable-launches/). Samsung is also believed to be adopting a similar wide aspect ratio form factor for one of its upcoming foldables. We've heard plenty of rumors about the foldable iPhone‌'s design, but the first alleged dummy models [appeared last week](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/07/foldable-iphone-design-revealed/). The device will have a 5.5-inch display when closed, making it Apple's smallest current-generation iPhone. When open, it will be around 7.8 inches, which is around half an inch smaller than the iPad mini. Apple is expected to debut its first foldable alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models in September, with a launch likely to shortly follow the Pro devices' release. Most rumors have suggested that the ‌foldable iPhone will start at around \$2,000 and be available in traditional space gray/black and silver/white finishes. ![huawei pura x max 1](https://images.macrumors.com/images-new/1x1.trans.gif)![huawei pura x max 1](https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/04/huawei-pura-x-max-1.jpg) One rumor claims that Apple will call it the "[iPhone Ultra](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/07/foldable-iphone-fold-iphone-ultra/)," rather than "iPhone Fold," which is the shorthand the media has largely been using.

Apple moved to dramatically reduce his role in March 2025 following the [disappointing launch of Apple Intelligence](https://www.macrumors.com/2025/04/10/chaos-behind-siri-revealed/) and ongoing delays to the [Siri](https://www.macrumors.com/guide/siri/) overhaul, stripping him of oversight of ‌Siri‌, robotics, and other AI teams at that time. The company [made the departure official](https://www.macrumors.com/2025/12/01/apple-ai-chief-retiring-after-siri-failure/) at the end of last year, announcing that Giannandrea would be retiring in 2026. In the intervening months, Giannandrea has been in an advisory role, what Gurman described as "resting and vesting," meaning remaining on the payroll until stock grants vest. With Apple's next vesting date falling on April 15, Gurman says Giannandrea's final days at the company are this week. His remaining responsibilities, which covered Apple's foundation models, AI testing, and various other functions, were divided between software chief Craig Federighi, services head [Eddy Cue](https://www.macrumors.com/guide/eddy-cue/), and operating chief Sabih Khan. Giannandrea joined Apple from Google in 2018. Gurman says he is unlikely to join another major technology company and is instead expected to take seats on corporate boards and pursue startup advisory work. Gurman offered a broader assessment of why Giannandrea's tenure failed to produce results, pushing back on the notion that Cook simply struggles with outside hires: "The truth is that the top of Apple is run like a small family business with few decision-makers. And if you're not in the inner circle — which is nearly impossible to crack — you're simply not empowered enough to drive real change at the company."

Rumors of [purple and brown finishes](https://www.macrumors.com/2025/11/04/iphone-18-pro-rumored-colors/) have also circulated, but Gurman believes those are just variants of the same red idea. Weibo-based leaker [Digital Chat Station](https://weibo.com/6048569942/QAjhYFjcC) has now thrown their weight behind the rumor. In a post shared over the weekend, the leaker said there was a high likelihood that Apple is testing the deep red finish, based on the fact that they have seen the same color in prototypes of next-generation Android phones by rival brands. It's unclear if the leaker is suggesting that Android makers have inside knowledge of Apple's color plans and are aiming to match it, or that the color's appearance is a sign of shared trend forecasting. Both Apple and Android OEMs likely rely on global color forecasting agencies that track fashion trends, and if deep red is "on trend," several companies could end up adopting it independently. However, Android makers are also well known for [copying Apple's design trends](https://x.com/techdroider/status/2042526496313454829?s=20). According to [Instant Digital](https://weibo.com/5143897135/QyWIVEux9), another Weibo-based leaker, Apple's iPhone 18 Pro models won't come in black this year. If the rumor is true, it will be the second consecutive year Apple has ditched what was arguably its most classic color option for the Pro lineup. The premium devices are expected to arrive this September alongside Apple's [first foldable iPhone](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/10/iphone-fold-rumor-recap/).

In Gurman's words, the designs in testing include: - A large rectangular frame, reminiscent of Ray-Ban Wayfarers - A slimmer rectangular design, similar to the glasses worn by Apple CEO Tim Cook - Larger oval or circular frames - A smaller, more refined oval or circular option The designs will be instantly recognizable as Apple – what the company refers to internally as the "icon" – and they are set to come in "many" color options, says Gurman, with black, ocean blue, and light brown currently being explored. The glasses will tightly integrate with the iPhone and Siri, and they will use computer vision to interpret the user's surroundings and feed contextual awareness into Apple Intelligence. Meanwhile, the the camera system currently being considered is described as "vertically oriented oval lenses with surrounding lights," which contrasts with the circular design seen in Meta's Ray-Bans. Apple is expected to unveil smart glasses as the end of 2026 or early the following year, with the actual release occurring in 2027. The glasses are said to be part of Apple's broader AI wearables strategy that also includes new [AirPods with cameras and a camera-equipped pendant](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/02/17/apple-ai-wearable-development/).

The site says that production has been pushed back by "roughly one to two months," but Apple has not communicated any launch delays to suppliers. Apple is still planning for a 2026 launch, which suggests a tighter production schedule. ![iphone fold text](https://images.macrumors.com/t/2JrnlcB81aSCeIxlgiBUERDmmU0=/400x0/article-new/2025/12/iphone-fold-text.jpg?lossy) Apple planned to begin ‌iPhone Fold‌ mass production in June 2026, but mass production has now slipped to early August. Some rumors have suggested that Apple is having more manufacturing problems than expected with the Engineering Validation Test phase that the ‌iPhone Fold‌ is in right now, but other rumors suggest [that won't lead to delays](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/07/iphone-fold-september-launch/). Last week, Japanese site Nikkei said that the engineering delays could cause Apple to delay the launch of the ‌iPhone Fold‌ [until 2027](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/07/foldable-iphone-delays-could-push-launch-into-2027/), but Bloomberg's [Mark Gurman](https://www.macrumors.com/guide/mark-gurman/) said the ‌iPhone Fold‌ remains on track to launch "around the same time" or "soon after" the [iPhone 18 Pro](https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-18-pro/) models in September 2026. [DigiTimes](https://www.macrumors.com/guide/digitimes-com/)' report reconciles the two separate launch timing rumors, indicating that there is indeed a delay in the test phase, but Apple may be able to make up ground during the mass production phase. Prior to mass production, the ‌iPhone Fold‌ will still need to go through Design Validation Testing and Production Validation Testing. A delay in the mass production timeline could cause serious supply chain shortages, and ‌iPhone Fold‌ availability is likely to be constrained. When we hear rumors about launch issues this early in an iPhone cycle, it typically leads to severe launch shortages and a device that sells out in minutes during pre-orders. The ‌iPhone Fold‌ is expected to cost between \$2,000 and \$2,500. It will be Apple's first foldable device, with a 5.5-inch display when closed and a 7.8-inch display when open. More about the device [can be found in our iPhone Fold roundup](https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-fold/). [American Airlines Now Supports iOS 26's Revamped Wallet Boarding Passes](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/13/american-airlines-ios-26-boarding-passes/) Monday April 13, 2026 12:59 pm PDT by [Juli Clover](https://www.macrumors.com/author/juli-clover/) American Airlines is now supporting the enhanced boarding pass feature that Apple added in [iOS 26](https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-26/). The app's latest update says boarding passes in the Wallet app feature an updated look with [Apple Maps](https://www.macrumors.com/guide/apple-maps/) integration, destination guides, and luggage tracking capabilities. ![ios 26 wallet boarding pass](https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2025/08/ios-26-wallet-boarding-pass.jpg) Apple revamped boarding passes in ‌iOS 26‌ to make them more useful to passengers who are using their iPhones for flights in lieu of a paper boarding pass. Boarding passes have maps for navigating through airports, an option to tap into [Find My](https://www.macrumors.com/guide/find-my/) to track items equipped with AirTags, and tools for reporting missing bags to airlines. From American Airlines: > Your boarding pass has a new look with more at your fingertips, like Apple Maps, destination guides, and quick shortcuts to the app. You can also track your luggage and open Find My right from your pass. Airlines need to opt in to the new boarding passes and update their apps with support. United Airlines, Air Canada, and Southwest already have the enhanced boarding passes. Delta briefly added support, but removed it shortly after. Apple also implemented Live Activities support for airlines so users can get real-time updates on a flight in ‌iOS 26‌, but it is not clear if American Airlines is supporting that feature based on the app's release notes. Back in [June 2025](https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/06/apple-services-deliver-powerful-features-and-intelligent-updates-to-users-this-fall/), Apple said American Airlines was one of the airlines that would add support for the refreshed boarding passes. Other airlines listed included Air Canada, Delta Air Lines, JetBlue, Jetstar, Lufthansa Group, Qantas, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, and Virgin Australia. American Airlines has also supported the ‌Find My‌ lost luggage tracking feature [since February 2025](https://www.macrumors.com/2025/02/20/american-airlines-airtag-baggage-feature/). In iOS 18, Apple worked with airlines to make it easier for airline employees to locate lost baggage using AirTags. [Apple Maps Ads Move Closer to Launch With iOS 26.5 Beta 2](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/13/ios-26-2-beta-2-apple-maps-ads/) Monday April 13, 2026 11:09 am PDT by [Juli Clover](https://www.macrumors.com/author/juli-clover/) With the second beta of iOS 26.5, Apple is continuing to prepare for ads in the [Apple Maps](https://www.macrumors.com/guide/apple-maps/) app. There's a new splash screen in the app that says it will display ads based on approximate location, current search terms, or a view of the map when searching. Ads will also be shown in the "Suggested Places" section that was [added in the first beta](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/03/30/apple-ios-26-5-maps-ads-groundwork/). ![ios 26 2 ads maps app](https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/04/ios-26-2-ads-maps-app.jpg) Apple says that advertising information is not linked to an Apple Account to preserve user privacy, so ads viewed and interacted with will not be associated with an Apple Account. Data is not collected or stored by Apple and not shared with third parties, according to Apple. Signs of ads in the Maps app were spotted in the first beta, but iOS 26.5 testers could start seeing ads with the second beta. It's not yet clear if Apple has just implemented the splash screen, or if ads are going to begin showing up in the near future. ![Ads Are Coming to Apple Maps Feature](https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/03/Ads-Are-Coming-to-Apple-Maps-Feature.jpg) Apple [announced plans](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/03/24/apple-maps-ads-announced/) to introduce ads for the Maps app back in March, with ads set to roll out to the public "this summer." Apple plans to include ads in the Maps app on iPhone, [iPad](https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad/), and Mac in the United States and Canada. Ads in ‌Apple Maps‌ will have an "Ad" label, much like ads in the [App Store](https://www.macrumors.com/guide/app-store/).

[Apple Seeds Second iOS 26.5 and iPadOS 26.5 Betas to Developers](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/13/apple-seeds-ios-26-5-beta-2/) Monday April 13, 2026 10:08 am PDT by [Juli Clover](https://www.macrumors.com/author/juli-clover/) Apple today seeded the second betas of upcoming iOS 26.5 and iPadOS 26.5 updates to developers for testing purposes, with the software coming two weeks after Apple released updated first betas. ![iOS 26](https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/03/iOS-26.5-Glass-Feature-Warm.jpg) Registered developers can download the betas from the Settings app on the iPhone or [iPad](https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad/) by going to the General section and selecting Software Update. iOS 26.5 and iPadOS 26.5 do not include new [Siri](https://www.macrumors.com/guide/siri/) capabilities, suggesting any ‌Siri‌ updates are being held until [iOS 27](https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-27/). The Maps app has a Suggested Places feature for recommending locations to visit nearby based on trends and recent searches, plus Apple is laying the groundwork for ads in the [Apple Maps](https://www.macrumors.com/guide/apple-maps/) app. Apple is continuing to test end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for [RCS](https://www.macrumors.com/guide/rcs/) messages between iPhone and Android users. Apple included the feature in the iOS 26.4 beta, but removed it before the update launched to the public. In the European Union, Apple is testing proximity pairing, notification forwarding, and Live Activities for third-party wearables like earbuds and smartwatches. The functionality will allow third-party wearables to have many of the same features as the Apple Watch and AirPods. More detail on what's new in iOS 26.5 can be found in [our iOS 26.5 beta features guide](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/03/30/everything-new-in-ios-26-5-beta-1/). [Second macOS Tahoe 26.5 Beta Now Available for Developers](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/13/apple-releases-macos-tahoe-26-5-beta-2/) Monday April 13, 2026 10:07 am PDT by [Juli Clover](https://www.macrumors.com/author/juli-clover/) Apple today provided the second beta of an upcoming [macOS Tahoe](https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macos-26/) 26.5 update to developers for testing purposes, with the update coming two weeks after the first beta. ![macOS Tahoe 26 Thumb 2](https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2025/06/macOS-Tahoe-26-Thumb-2.jpg) Developers can download the ‌macOS Tahoe‌ 26.5 update by opening up the System Settings app, selecting the General category, and then choosing Software Update. Beta Updates will need to be enabled, and a free developer account is required. No new features were found in the first ‌macOS Tahoe‌ 26.5 beta, and it's likely the update primarily focuses on bug fixes and performance improvements. [Apple Releases Second watchOS 26.5, tvOS 26.5 and visionOS 26.5 Betas](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/13/apple-releases-watchos-26-5-beta-2/) Monday April 13, 2026 10:06 am PDT by [Juli Clover](https://www.macrumors.com/author/juli-clover/) Apple today provided developers with the second betas of upcoming watchOS 26.5, tvOS 26.5, and visionOS 26.5 betas for testing purposes. The software comes two weeks after Apple released the first betas for each platform. ![General visionOS watchOS and tvOS Betas Feature Redux](https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2025/04/General-visionOS-watchOS-and-tvOS-Betas-Feature-Redux.jpg) The software updates are available through the Settings app on each device, and because these are developer betas, a free developer account is required. There's no word on what's in the software as of yet. watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS often get few features in each new beta, with updates primarily focusing on bug fixes and performance improvements. Nothing new was found in the first betas. [Check Who's Using Your iPhone Hotspot Data](https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/check-who-using-iphone-hotspot-data/) Monday April 13, 2026 7:34 am PDT by [Tim Hardwick](https://www.macrumors.com/author/tim-hardwick/) If you regularly share your iPhone's data connection with your laptop or iPad, or let family members piggyback on your device's data, you'll be glad to learn that Apple recently made it a lot easier to keep tabs on who's burning through your monthly allowance. ![personal hotspot](https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/04/personal-hotspot.jpeg) In a welcome change with the release of iOS 26.4, Apple has moved Personal Hotspot data usage info out of its previous hiding spot and put it in a much more convenient location. Before the latest update, Personal Hotspot's per-device breakdown was secreted away inside cellular settings, where it was easy to miss. Now it sits right inside the Personal Hotspot menu, making it way more practical for anyone on a capped data plan who's keen to keep an eye on usage. Here's how to check it in iOS 26.4 (you can make sure your device is up-to-date via Settings ➝ General ➝ Software Update). ### How to Check iPhone Hotspot Data Usage 1. Open Settings on your iPhone. 2. Tap Personal Hotspot. 3. Below the "Maximize Compatibility" toggle, tap Data Usage. ![ios hotspot data usage](https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/04/ios-hotspot-data-usage.jpeg) Here you'll see a list of connected devices along with how much data each one has consumed, as well as a total figure across all devices. Note that Apple devices running iOS 26.4 or macOS 26.4 appear individually by name, whereas Android phones, Windows PCs, and anything running older Apple software are grouped together under "Other Devices." Bear in mind that the Data Usage option only appears if you've used Personal Hotspot recently. If you want, you can clear the figures and start tracking anew by heading to Settings ➝ Cellular/Mobile Service** and resetting your overall cellular usage statistics (the option at the bottom). This wipes your hotspot numbers at the same time. [Smart Adhesive Is Key to Crease-Free Foldable iPhone Display](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/13/adhesive-is-key-to-crease-free-foldable-iphone/) Advances in optically clear adhesive (OCA) will be a key factor in achieving a near-invisible crease in Apple's first foldable iPhone expected later this year, according to [TrendForce](https://www.trendforce.com/presscenter/news/20260413-13009.html). ![Foldable iPhone 2023 Feature Iridescent 1](https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2025/03/Foldable-iPhone-2023-Feature-Iridescent-1.jpg) The supply chain intelligence firm outlined the key technologies in [a new report](https://www.trendforce.com/presscenter/news/20260413-13009.html) on foldable display innovation, explaining that creases form when layers within the display panel fall out of alignment, concentrating stress at the fold and causing micro-cracks or permanent deformation over time. Ultra-thin glass (UTG) also plays a role in the optimal design. Apple's patents have described a design where the glass is thinner at the fold for flexibility and thicker elsewhere for durability, which is an approach consistent with [reports last year](https://www.macrumors.com/2025/12/22/iphone-foldable-ultra-thin-glass-crease/) that Apple was testing uneven-thickness panels, and [more recently](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/03/23/foldable-iphone-layered-glass-reduce-crease/) that it may use a dual-layer glass structure to spread stress across multiple layers. The single most important factor, TrendForce says, is OCA. Modern formulations go well beyond simple bonding, staying pliable during gradual bending to reduce fatigue while temporarily stiffening under sudden impact to provide structural support. Over time, the adhesive's ability to flow into microscopic irregularities also reduces light scattering and keeps the crease less visible. Hinge and structural engineering still matter too. Samsung Display uses laser drilling in the metal support plate behind the display to balance rigidity and flexibility, a technique analyst [Ming-Chi Kuo](https://www.macrumors.com/guide/ming-chi-kuo/) [reported last July](https://www.macrumors.com/2025/07/15/foldable-iphone-crease-free-samsung-display/) that Apple's foldable would also use via supplier Fine M-Tec. [Samsung briefly showcased](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/01/06/foldable-iphone-display-previewed-ces-2026/) a crease-free panel at [CES 2026](https://www.macrumors.com/guide/ces-2026/), though it later clarified this was an R\&D concept rather than a production-ready design. Apple has reportedly [pursued eliminating the crease](https://www.macrumors.com/2025/02/25/apple-2026-foldable-phone-has-no-crease/) "regardless of cost", and leaker "Fixed Focus Digital" [reported in February](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/02/25/iphone-fold-crease-measured-production/) that production orders had been placed with a crease depth under 0.15mm and a crease angle under 2.5 degrees. TrendForce estimates Apple could capture close to 20% of the foldable smartphone market this year, which it says would compress Samsung and Huawei to roughly 30% each. The foldable iPhone is expected to be unveiled alongside the [iPhone 18 Pro](https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-18-pro/) models in September. Foxconn [began trial production last week](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/06/iphone-fold-trial-production/), and Samsung Display is reportedly on track to begin mass production of OLED panels for the device in May.

[Valve's Steam Link App Is Coming to Apple Vision Pro](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/13/valve-steam-link-apple-vision-pro/) Monday April 13, 2026 6:14 am PDT by [Tim Hardwick](https://www.macrumors.com/author/tim-hardwick/) Valve's [Steam Link app](https://store.steampowered.com/remoteplay), which is designed to let you stream games from your main gaming computer to another device, is coming to Apple Vision Pro. ![steam link@2x](https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/04/steam-link@2x.jpg) The upcoming app for visionOS means users will be able to wirelessly stream games from Steam running on their Mac or PC to their Vision Pro headset, assuming the devices are on the same local network. Prior to its official release, Valve is offering access to a beta of the app via [TestFlight](https://testflight.apple.com/join/Cye7Gfyy). The latest version improves network performance, allows streaming up to 4K resolutions, and allows users to dynamically adjust the curve of the display in panoramic mode. The one limitation worth bearing in mind is that the client is for 2D streaming only and does not support VR content. Whether this will change in the future is unclear. Valve announced its intention to release a native Steam Link app for visionOS [earlier this month](https://steamcommunity.com/app/353380/discussions/7/806847328212494915/), but the company has yet to share a general release date. [New Huawei Foldable Looks a Lot Like Apple's Rumored iPhone Fold](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/13/huawei-foldable-similar-foldable-iphone/) Monday April 13, 2026 4:47 am PDT by [Tim Hardwick](https://www.macrumors.com/author/tim-hardwick/) Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone is expected to feature a book-style form factor that's relatively uncommon in the foldables market, but Huawei's new Pura X Max appears to share a similar wide aspect ratio. ![huawei pura x max](https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/04/huawei-pura-x-max.jpg) Set to be released in China next week, Huawei's new device actually builds upon a design used by the original, smaller [Pura X](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huawei_Pura_X), which was marketed last year as an extra-wide flip phone. Little is known about the Pura X Max beyond its triple lens rear camera, while [Huawei's imagery](https://m.weibo.cn/detail/5287195914013746) shows the device being used in both portrait and landscape. Prior to the Pura X Max's unveiling, Apple's rumored device was said to most resemble [Oppo's Find N5](https://www.macrumors.com/2025/02/20/worlds-thinnest-foldable-launches/). Samsung is also believed to be adopting a similar wide aspect ratio form factor for one of its upcoming foldables. We've heard plenty of rumors about the foldable iPhone‌'s design, but the first alleged dummy models [appeared last week](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/07/foldable-iphone-design-revealed/). The device will have a 5.5-inch display when closed, making it Apple's smallest current-generation iPhone. When open, it will be around 7.8 inches, which is around half an inch smaller than the iPad mini. Apple is expected to debut its first foldable alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models in September, with a launch likely to shortly follow the Pro devices' release. Most rumors have suggested that the ‌foldable iPhone will start at around \$2,000 and be available in traditional space gray/black and silver/white finishes. ![huawei pura x max 1](https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/04/huawei-pura-x-max-1.jpg) One rumor claims that Apple will call it the "[iPhone Ultra](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/07/foldable-iphone-fold-iphone-ultra/)," rather than "iPhone Fold," which is the shorthand the media has largely been using. [Apple's AI Chief John Giannandrea Departs This Week](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/13/john-giannandrea-departs-apple-this-week/) John Giannandrea, Apple's former head of artificial intelligence, is set to leave the company this week as his final stock vesting date approaches. ![apple intelligence black](https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2024/09/apple-intelligence-black.jpeg) In his ["Power On" newsletter](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2026-04-12/apple-ai-smart-glasses-features-styles-colors-cameras-giannandrea-leaving-mnvtz4yg), [Mark Gurman](https://www.macrumors.com/guide/mark-gurman/) noted that Giannandrea's exit has been a prolonged one. Apple moved to dramatically reduce his role in March 2025 following the [disappointing launch of Apple Intelligence](https://www.macrumors.com/2025/04/10/chaos-behind-siri-revealed/) and ongoing delays to the [Siri](https://www.macrumors.com/guide/siri/) overhaul, stripping him of oversight of ‌Siri‌, robotics, and other AI teams at that time. The company [made the departure official](https://www.macrumors.com/2025/12/01/apple-ai-chief-retiring-after-siri-failure/) at the end of last year, announcing that Giannandrea would be retiring in 2026. In the intervening months, Giannandrea has been in an advisory role, what Gurman described as "resting and vesting," meaning remaining on the payroll until stock grants vest. With Apple's next vesting date falling on April 15, Gurman says Giannandrea's final days at the company are this week. His remaining responsibilities, which covered Apple's foundation models, AI testing, and various other functions, were divided between software chief Craig Federighi, services head [Eddy Cue](https://www.macrumors.com/guide/eddy-cue/), and operating chief Sabih Khan. Giannandrea joined Apple from Google in 2018. Gurman says he is unlikely to join another major technology company and is instead expected to take seats on corporate boards and pursue startup advisory work. Gurman offered a broader assessment of why Giannandrea's tenure failed to produce results, pushing back on the notion that Cook simply struggles with outside hires: "The truth is that the top of Apple is run like a small family business with few decision-makers. And if you're not in the inner circle — which is nearly impossible to crack — you're simply not empowered enough to drive real change at the company." [iPhone 18 Pro Deep Red Color Likely as Android Rivals Prep Same Shade](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/13/iphone-18-pro-deep-red-color/) Monday April 13, 2026 3:22 am PDT by [Tim Hardwick](https://www.macrumors.com/author/tim-hardwick/) Apple's upcoming iPhone 18 Pro is very likely to come in a new deep red color, claims a Chinese leaker, because the color is already being prototyped by Android phone makers. ![iPhone 18 Pro Deep Red Feature](https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/02/iPhone-18-Pro-Deep-Red-Feature.jpg) In February, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman [reported](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/02/22/iphone-18-pro-foldable-iphone-rumored-colors/) that Apple is testing a deep red finish for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Rumors of [purple and brown finishes](https://www.macrumors.com/2025/11/04/iphone-18-pro-rumored-colors/) have also circulated, but Gurman believes those are just variants of the same red idea. Weibo-based leaker [Digital Chat Station](https://weibo.com/6048569942/QAjhYFjcC) has now thrown their weight behind the rumor. In a post shared over the weekend, the leaker said there was a high likelihood that Apple is testing the deep red finish, based on the fact that they have seen the same color in prototypes of next-generation Android phones by rival brands. It's unclear if the leaker is suggesting that Android makers have inside knowledge of Apple's color plans and are aiming to match it, or that the color's appearance is a sign of shared trend forecasting. Both Apple and Android OEMs likely rely on global color forecasting agencies that track fashion trends, and if deep red is "on trend," several companies could end up adopting it independently. However, Android makers are also well known for [copying Apple's design trends](https://x.com/techdroider/status/2042526496313454829?s=20). According to [Instant Digital](https://weibo.com/5143897135/QyWIVEux9), another Weibo-based leaker, Apple's iPhone 18 Pro models won't come in black this year. If the rumor is true, it will be the second consecutive year Apple has ditched what was arguably its most classic color option for the Pro lineup. The premium devices are expected to arrive this September alongside Apple's [first foldable iPhone](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/10/iphone-fold-rumor-recap/). [Apple Testing Four Smart Glasses Styles Made of High-End Materials](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/13/apple-smart-glasses-four-styles/) Monday April 13, 2026 2:29 am PDT by [Tim Hardwick](https://www.macrumors.com/author/tim-hardwick/) Apple is developing at least four different styles of smart glasses, and the company is betting that their superior design will set them apart from rival products, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. ![Apple Glasses Blue Feature](https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2021/01/Apple-Glasses-Blue-Feature.jpg) Writing in his latest [Power On newsletter](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2026-04-12/apple-ai-smart-glasses-features-styles-colors-cameras-giannandrea-leaving-mnvtz4yg), Gurman says that Apple's latest designs are made from a high-end material called acetate, which is "more durable and luxurious" than the standard plastic used by most existing brands. In Gurman's words, the designs in testing include: - A large rectangular frame, reminiscent of Ray-Ban Wayfarers - A slimmer rectangular design, similar to the glasses worn by Apple CEO Tim Cook - Larger oval or circular frames - A smaller, more refined oval or circular option The designs will be instantly recognizable as Apple – what the company refers to internally as the "icon" – and they are set to come in "many" color options, says Gurman, with black, ocean blue, and light brown currently being explored. The glasses will tightly integrate with the iPhone and Siri, and they will use computer vision to interpret the user's surroundings and feed contextual awareness into Apple Intelligence. Meanwhile, the the camera system currently being considered is described as "vertically oriented oval lenses with surrounding lights," which contrasts with the circular design seen in Meta's Ray-Bans. Apple is expected to unveil smart glasses as the end of 2026 or early the following year, with the actual release occurring in 2027. The glasses are said to be part of Apple's broader AI wearables strategy that also includes new [AirPods with cameras and a camera-equipped pendant](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/02/17/apple-ai-wearable-development/). [Amazon Has Every Model of the M5 MacBook Air at \$150 Off This Weekend](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/12/m5-macbook-air-150-off-weekend/) Amazon this week introduced a few [new record low prices on the M5 MacBook Air](https://buy.geni.us/Proxy.ashx?TSID=3088&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0GR1J6T45%3Ftag%3Dmacrumors-20%26linkCode%3Dogi%26th%3D1) and they're all still available today.
