iOS 27 Battery and Storage: The Numbers Apple Did Not Publish Before Monday

11 September 2026 at 04:37

Apple has published three performance claims for iOS 27, each with the device it was tested on. It has published nothing about what the update does to battery life, nothing about how large the download is, and nothing about how much free space it needs. Those are the three things people actually search for on […]

Will iOS 27 Break Your CarPlay, Bluetooth or Apps? What Apple Has Actually Changed

11 September 2026 at 04:33

Apple has published no known-issues list for iOS 27, no security notes for it and no accessory compatibility page, so nothing on the record predicts a dead CarPlay connection or a lost Bluetooth pairing on Monday. What Apple has published is a short list of changes that touch exactly those areas, plus one deadline that […]

Will iOS 27 Slow Down Your Older iPhone? Apple Tested Its Speed Claim on an iPhone 11 Pro Max

11 September 2026 at 04:28

Apple has published nothing that says an iPhone runs slower after a major update, and there is no iOS 27 known-issues document to check against. The one published measurement that speaks directly to older hardware was taken on an iPhone 11 Pro Max, the oldest generation iOS 27 supports, and it points the other way: […]

How to Turn Off Liquid Glass in iOS 27: Apple Publishes a Slider, Not a Switch

11 September 2026 at 03:45

There is no off switch for Liquid Glass in iOS 27. The only control Apple has published is a slider in Settings that moves the effect anywhere from ultra-clear to fully tinted, and nothing in Apple’s description of the update removes the design. The reason this search keeps coming back is that Liquid Glass is […]

Eis as adaptações que a Apple fez no iOS especialmente para o iPhone Duo

10 September 2026 at 17:20

Para permitir uma experiência de usuário perfeita em um aparelho dobrável, a Apple teve que adaptar o iOS 27 para as especificidades do iPhone Duo — que envolvem características como ângulo da tela, displays externo e interno, dentre outras coisas.

Bem mais do que apenas oferecer uma interface semelhante à do iPad (que é um dispositivo de tela única e fixa), a empresa fez uma série de mudanças no sistema — começando pela posição do Dock, que agora está na lateral para liberar mais espaço vertical.

Mas não é só o Dock que está na lateral direita da tela, como também os controles e botões de aplicativos, a Ilha Dinâmica (Dynamic Island) e a nova barra de status circular (que exibe de forma agrupada indicadores para Wi-Fi, bateria e conectividade celular).

Na tela maior (com o iPhone aberto), são exibidas duas visualizações diferentes na Tela de Início, onde o lado esquerdo é dedicado a uma visualização diária com uma lista rolável de widgets e o lado direito abriga os tradicionais ícones dos aplicativos.

O conteúdo também se adapta quando o iPhone Duo está parcialmente dobrado. Nesse caso, mesmo que o conteúdo esteja sendo exibido de forma contínua na tela maior, o sistema o divide em dois para facilitar a visualização e evitar toques na parte do vinco.

A atenção aos detalhes também impressiona. Além da animação de abertura/fechamento que fez sucesso nas redes sociais, quando posicionado como um laptop, o aparelho exibe na tela inferior um reflexo criado por software do que é exibido na tela superior.

Aliás, essa posição é bastante útil para o consumo de mídia, uma vez que o iPhone Duo funciona, por si só, como uma espécie de suporte — e o conteúdo também se adapta, exibindo os controles de reprodução de maneira fixa na tela inferior para fácil acesso.

Outra mudança relacionada ao posicionamento do novo iPhone diz respeito ao modo Em Espera (StandBy), que agora conta com novos widgets e é ativado quando o iPhone estiver bloqueado e apoiado em formato de tenda — mesmo sem estar recarregando.

Quando falamos em multitarefa, o iPhone Duo oferece uma experiência mais próxima à que temos há alguns anos no iPadOS, permitindo pela primeira vez em um smartphone da empresa rodar dois aplicativos lado a lado ou duas janelas do mesmo aplicativo.

O sistema também permite salvar pares de apps abertos para reabri-los juntos futuramente — algo muito interessante para quem precisa trabalhar ou operar em mais de um app. É possível, por exemplo, deixar o app da Siri aberto de um lado e o Notas em outro.

Para quem está tirando fotos de outra pessoa, o iPhone Duo transmite uma prévia ao vivo da câmera na tela externa para que a pessoa fotografada possa conferir o enquadramento antes do clique — sem depender apenas da palavra do fotógrafo.

Há, ainda, novidades bastante interessantes para quem está fazendo ligações via FaceTime, permitindo que pessoas que estejam ao lado de quem segura o aparelho participem ativamente da chamada, usando a câmera e a tela externa do dispositivo.

This is one of my favorite features of the iPhone Duo.

When you’re on FaceTime, you can utilize both screens and cameras. If you’re pointing the camera at someone in front of you, the person on the other side of the phone can talk to whoever you’re on the call with too.

Outras novidades no iOS incluem o suporte inédito ao Apple Pencil (USB-C) — que será disponibilizado ainda neste ano —, calibragem de áudio dinâmica e recursos como o Smart Take, que tira fotos automaticamente quando identifica que as pessoas estão posando.

Muita coisa nova, né?

iOS 26.6.2 & iPadOS 26.6.2 Updates Available with Fix for Cellular Updating

Apple lança iOS 26.6.2 e iPadOS 26.6.2 com correção de bug

8 September 2026 at 19:10

De surpresa, Apple liberou há pouco o iOS 26.6.2 (compilação 23G90) e o iPadOS 26.6.2 (idem). O macOS Tahoe 26.6.2, vale lembrar, foi lançado no mês passado.

Os updates de hoje incluem apenas uma correção para o problema que impedia o download de uma atualização de software através de uma conexão celular, de acordo com as notas de liberação divulgadas pela Apple — sendo, portanto, recomendados a todos os usuários.

Como os sistemas 27 já estão batendo à porta, é muito improvável que esses updates introduzam qualquer novidade significativa além dessa correção. Caso algo surja, no entanto, comentaremos aqui no MacMagazine.

Em testes, o iOS/iPadOS 27 e o macOS Golden Gate 27 estão disponíveis tanto a partir de versões beta para desenvolvedores quanto de betas públicas. É provável que eles ganhem versões Release Candidate (RC) após o evento especial de amanhã.

Apple seeds eighth betas of macOS 27, iOS 27, iPadOS 27, tvOS 27, and watchOS 27

31 August 2026 at 21:00

Apple on Monday released the eighth developer betas of macOS 27, iOS 27, iPadOS 27, tvOS 27, and watchOS 27, continuing the final stretch of testing before the software is expected to ship to the public in September.

The new builds arrive one week after the seventh developer betas, which went out on August 24. At this point in the cycle, Apple is typically focused on bug fixes, performance, and stability rather than large new user-facing features. Release candidates are widely expected after Apple’s September hardware event.

Build numbers

• iOS 27 beta 8: 24A5430a (replacing 24A5424a)
• iPadOS 27 beta 8: 24A5430a (replacing 24A5424a)
• macOS 27 beta 8: 26A5425a (replacing 26A5421a)
• watchOS 27 beta 8: 24R5360a (replacing 24R5358a)

Apple also issued matching eighth betas for tvOS 27 and visionOS 27.

macOS 27 continues under the Golden Gate name. It is the first macOS release limited to Apple silicon Macs.

How to install

Registered developers can install the updates over the air:

• iPhone and iPad: Settings → General → Software Update → Beta Updates, then choose the iOS 27 or iPadOS 27 Developer Beta.

• Mac: System Settings → General → Software Update.

• Apple Watch: Use the Watch app on a paired iPhone. The watch should be on the charger, on Wi-Fi, and at least 50 percent charged.

Full restore images are also available from the Apple Developer site. Public beta testers usually receive corresponding public builds shortly after the developer drop.

What these releases are building toward

The “27” operating systems were first shown at WWDC 2026 on June 8, with developer beta 1 following the same day. Public betas began in mid-July. The official fall releases are expected alongside new iPhones and other hardware.

Headline features across the platforms include:

Siri AI. Apple’s rebuilt assistant is the centerpiece. It is designed as a more conversational chatbot with general world knowledge, personal context from apps such as Messages and Mail, and on-screen awareness. iOS 27 also adds a standalone Siri app for conversation history, systemwide Write with Siri, and Visual Intelligence relocated into the Camera app with a Siri mode. On Apple Watch, Siri AI requires a paired iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro and later).

Apple Intelligence elsewhere. New AI features land in Photos, Safari, Shortcuts, Wallet, and Passwords. On the Mac, Spotlight and Shortcuts pick up deeper Siri AI integration, including natural-language shortcut creation.

Liquid Glass refinements. After last year’s more aggressive glass look, Apple has improved legibility and added a transparency slider so users can dial the effect from glassy to more opaque. macOS 27 also revisits window chrome, including traffic-light controls and more consistent corner radii.

Performance. Apple has emphasized faster app launches, quicker keyboard appearance, snappier AirDrop, better Wi-Fi/cellular handoff, and improvements that are noticeable even on older supported iPhones. watchOS 27 includes battery optimizations, an updated Find My experience with Precision Finding, Workout Buddy improvements that work without a nearby iPhone, and a Dynamic app grid with Siri suggestions.

Some capabilities remain limited by region or regulation. Earlier in the cycle, Siri AI features were reported as blocked for EU developers under Digital Markets Act rules, and certain Apple Intelligence features have been unavailable in China while Apple works through local requirements.

What to expect next

Ninth-week betas this late in the summer are often the last regular developer drops before release candidates. Those RCs frequently appear after Apple’s September event, when the company also tends to reveal any remaining watch faces, health features, or hardware-tied software that was held back from earlier betas.

The finished versions of iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27 Golden Gate, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and visionOS 27 are still expected for the public this fall.

MacDailyNews Note: As always, beta software can be unstable. A backup is strongly recommended before installing.

Apple Upgrade: empresa cogitou enviar aparelhos já configurados de fábrica

10 August 2026 at 16:21

De acordo com o jornalista da Bloomberg, Mark Gurman, a Apple teria cogitado (e posteriormente descartado) um recurso bastante interessante para o Apple Upgrade: a transferência dos dados do iCloud do usuário para o novo aparelho antes mesmo de ele ser enviado para o assinante.

Revelada na última edição da sua newsletter “Power On”, a ideia — descrita como um recurso premium — seria especialmente bem-vinda para as trocas anuais de iPhones realizadas durante o período do serviço adquirido, livrando o usuário de ter que configurar seu aparelho ao ligá-lo pela primeira vez.

The Apple Upgrade feature that never made it past the drawing board: a so-called white-glove component, where your new device each year would arrive at home ready to go, preloaded with all of your data via your iCloud backup. Here’s what happened. https://t.co/PZ4r8jEgvG

— Mark Gurman (@markgurman) August 9, 2026
O recurso de atualização da Apple que nunca saiu do papel: um componente supostamente premium, em que seu novo dispositivo chegaria à sua casa a cada ano, pronto para uso, com todos os seus dados pré-carregados por meio do backup do iCloud. Veja o que aconteceu.

Essa ideia, no entanto, esbarrou em um obstáculo importantíssimo: a privacidade do usuário, já que dados do iCloud só poderiam ser acessados pela Apple nos casos em que a Proteção Avançada de Dados (Advanced Data Protection) com criptografia de ponta a ponta não foi ativada. Isso, é claro, não inclui o Reino Unido, onde o recurso não pode ser mais acessado.

Como lembrou o 9to5Mac, o acesso remoto às definições de sistema de um iPhone obtido por meio do Apple Upgrade poderia ser associado ao Presto, um sistema proprietário de gerenciamento de atualizações baseado em hardware (empurrado especificamente por um Mac mini com um sistema customizado) para realizar o update de iPhones lacrados.

Anunciado no mês passado, o Apple Upgrade oferece o leasing de Apple Watches, iPhones, iPads e Macs para clientes dos Estados Unidos, com planos de até 36 meses dependendo do dispositivo escolhido.

Apple releases macOS Tahoe 26.6.1 to patch critical Screen Sharing security flaw

7 August 2026 at 15:15

macOS 26 Finder icon

Apple has released macOS Tahoe 26.6.1, a rapid security update that addresses a serious vulnerability in the built-in Screen Sharing feature. The update, which arrived on Thursday without any new features, is strongly recommended for all Mac users running the latest version of the operating system.

Screen Sharing allows users to view and control another Mac remotely over a local network or the internet. It is widely used for remote support, file access, troubleshooting, and managing multiple Macs in homes, schools, or businesses. Once connected, a remote user can see the desktop, open apps, transfer files, and control the keyboard and mouse as if sitting at the machine.

The vulnerability could allow an attacker on the same network to authenticate to Screen Sharing without valid credentials. Apple fixed the issue through improved state management. The company has not indicated whether the flaw was being actively exploited in the wild.The same Screen Sharing bug affects earlier macOS versions, so Apple also issued companion security updates: macOS Sequoia 15.7.9 and macOS Sonoma 14.8.9.

Mac users can install the update by going to System Settings > General > Software Update. No corresponding updates for iOS, iPadOS, or watchOS were released alongside this Mac-only security patch.
‎
MacDailyNews Take: Given the potential for unauthorized remote access, installing macOS Tahoe 26.6.1 (or the relevant update for older systems) promptly is advised.
