While not quite as packed with new features as Apple's preceding iOS 18 point releases, iOS 18.3 still introduces capabilities that aim to make your iPhone smarter and more intuitive. Below, we've...

A spokesperson for Walmart today informed MacRumors that its position on contactless payments has not changed since we last reached out about the matter in 2022. The big-box retailer said it remains focused on its own convenient...

Apple's retail stores will be rolling out "merchandise/floor marketing updates" next week, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

It's also time for Apple's first product announcement of the year.
Last year, Apple said it would be launching Powerbeats Pro 2 in 2025, and the wireless earbuds are expected to launch very soon.

VP9 codec support. So we can watch YouTube 4k and HDR. (HUGE CONTENT THERE)
Dolby Atmos support so we can listen as well as watch 4k movies. (Vudu, XB1x, PCs, TVs, Blu-ray players all do it)
And, I know this was announced in the next update but I mention it still, auto video mode change.
I wanted to add I am glad after all this time Apple has FINALLY entered the 4k market with their media player. To paraphrase Tim himself, "We don't do it first. We do it when it can be done the best way." Well, Apple didn't do that. They left A LOT on the table for a 4K HDR media playback device. They need to rectify all this before the Holidays.
Why is this special? You can go to the following places and get same model new starting at $139 with no wait for a mail-in rebate? Am I missing something? Feedback welcome.
