If you don’t want to wait for the next version of macOS, macOS Ventura, which will be released to the public this autumn, it will soon be possible to download the beta version. In this article we’ll run through what you need to do to get your hands on the beta of the next version of the Mac operating system, how to install it, and what you should bear in mind if you don’t want to end up in a pickle.
Want to know more about macOS Ventura before you install? Read our guide to macOS Ventura’s release date and latest version. You may also be interested to read about how macOS Ventura compares to macOS Monterey.
The first version of the developer beta of Ventura arrived after the WWDC keynote on June 6, 2022. It is normal for Apple to release the first beta following the keynote so that developers can start work on testing their apps.
Apple released the fifth developer beta on July 5, 2022. The update to the public beta will come soon afterward.
Apple lets developers get their hands on beta versions of its operating system early so that they can make sure that their software works – and so they can use new tools in the next version of the macOS to enhance their own programs ready for launch when the final version of macOS is ready.
But it’s not just developers who get an early look, though. Back at WWDC 2015 Apple announced that it was going to let members of the public test the upcoming new version of its Mac operating system as part of a free beta program. That means that anyone can get their hands on the new version of macOS before it is released to the general public later in the year.
If you want to get the beta the first thing you need to do, if you haven’t already, is join Apple’s beta programs read this for more information: How to become an Apple beta tester.
As we explained, there are two types of Apple beta program. One for developers who need to test their apps, and one for members of the public willing to test early versions of Apple’s software.
If you want to be a public beta tester, you can sign up to join the Apple Beta Software Program here. There’s more information on signing up below in the article mentioned above.
If you’re after the beta because you are an Apple Developer you need to go to enrol in the program here. We have more information on signing up in the ‘How to become an Apple beta tester’ article linked above.
The public beta is not the same as the beta being released through the developer program, developers tend to receive more frequent updates, including new features not in the public beta.
Before we start, a word of warning…
By its nature, a beta has the potential to be unstable. Therefore it’s not advised that you install it on your Mac if you are relying on it. If you have a second Mac that isn’t mission-critical then install it there. We strongly recommend that you don’t risk all by making it your primary macOS, especially not in the early days of the beta development.
If you don’t have a second Mac there are a couple of ways you could run macOS beta on your Mac without running the risk of losing data or finding your Mac stops working:
We discuss the safety of the macOS beta and the risks you might be taking in more detail in a separate article.
You may prefer to wait until the final version is out, in which case read: How to update your Mac.
Apple gives clear instructions about how to prepare your Mac for the installation on the Enroll your Mac page.
First Apple advises users to make a backup of their data and files before installing any beta versions of macOS, stating. You can find out how to use Time Machine to back up your Mac. We also have a round-up of suitable backup solutions.
You’ll need to have the latest full version of macOS installed and we’d recommend at least 15GB of available space because the macOS betas tend to be very large. In fact last year a lot of people had problems installing macOS Big Sur because it required a lot of space to move things around. If you end up requiring more space read: How to free up space on Mac.
Note that we always recommend that you have at least 10% space free on your Mac at any time, so if you don’t have that expect problems!
Here’s how to download and install a beta version of macOS on your Mac.
If you haven’t yet registered as a developer you need to enroll in the program – here.
If you aren’t a developer you will have a little longer to wait until the public beta becomes available. We recommend that you wait for the public beta, but, if you want to take your chances and download the macOS beta access utility from a third-party site this is likely to be possible. Doing so is a risky business, though.
Read on for more information about getting hold of the macOS Developer Beta Access Utility.
Last year after the Monterey beta launched various websites were offering the profile required to install the developer beta as a free download. For example, BetaInstaller.com offered the profiles required to download the macOS beta. You might also be able to get the iOS beta from one of these sites – again, we warn against it, but there is more information here.
If you need another reminder of why it’s not a good idea to download the betas this way, here are a couple of reasons to steer clear:
We recommend that you become an official Public Beta tester. Find out how to become an Apple Beta Tester here.
However, if you’re undeterred in your potentially dangerous mission, here’s what you need to do to install the macOS beta is you aren’t a developer:
Please note: Beta software is not yet final and may contain errors that lead to crashes or data loss. In addition, apps may stop working because they are not designed for the new macOS. Therefore, you should always back up your data before installing any beta software.
Follow these steps to install the public beta of macOS once it arrives – the safer way!
If you were already running an earlier macOS Public Beta you’ll find the new macOS beta as an upgrade via Software Update. Just click on Upgrade Now. You may have to update to the latest version of your current beta before you can do so.
Once you are running the beta the updates will come through to your Mac automatically, you just need to click to install.
That covers how to get the betas, but once you have them what can you do, and what should you do? We’ll cover that below.
Should you come across an error or a bug you should use the Feedback Assistant app to provide feedback to Apple. Launch the app and follow the appropriate steps, selecting the area about which you’re providing feedback and then any specific sub-area. Then describe your issue in a single sentence, before providing a more detailed description, including any specific steps that reproduce the issue. You’ll also be able to attach other files.
You’ll also have to give permission for the Feedback Assistant app to collect diagnostic information from your Mac.
It won’t always be obvious whether something is a bug or just not as easy to use as you might have hoped. Either way, if your feedback is that something appears to work in an illogical way, Apple will want to know that.
If you are having trouble with a third-party app you can let Apple know by reporting it through the 3rd-party Application Compatibility category in the Feedback Assistant. However, we’d suggest that you also provide feedback to the app’s developer who will no doubt be grateful.
Beta users will be able to install the final build of the OS on release day without needing to reformat or reinstall.
According to Apple and the license agreement all beta testers must agree to, the beta is “Apple confidential information”. By accepting those terms, you agree not to discuss your use of the software with anyone who isn’t also in the Beta Software Program. That means you can’t “blog, post screenshots, tweet, or publicly post information about the public beta software.”
However, you can discuss any information that Apple has publicly disclosed; the company says that information is no longer considered confidential.
You can always revert to an earlier version of macOS, though depending on how you back up, it’s not necessarily a painless process.
Start by making sure the data on your drive is backed up, then erase the drive and install the latest public version of macOS. When you first startup your Mac you can use the Migration Assistant to import your data from the backup. Here’s a more detailed tutorial on downgrading from the macOS beta we also have a tutorial on downgrading to an older version of the Mac OS.
The release of iOS 16 is just a couple of weeks away, but Apple still has plans for iOS 15. Just days after iOS 15.5 arrived, Apple started iOS 15.6 iPadOS 15.6 beta testing. It was first made available to developers on May 18, with the public beta following a day later.
Most of the attention is now on iOS 16, which Apple announced at WWDC in June. With iOS 15.6, we don’t expect major new features–in fact, none have yet been found during the beta testing process. Instead, this appears to be a release primarily focused on bug fixes and security updates.
Update 7/05/22: The fifth beta of iOS 15.6 is now available for developers. The public beta is likely to come within the next day.
So far, there haven’t been any significant new features discovered in the iOS 15.6 beta. It seems likely that this release will focus entirely on bug fixes and security updates.
On Twitter, Aaron Zollo notes that the iOS 15.6 beta fixes a bug that was automatically adding Apple Music to the dock and replacing Spotify and other apps upon download.
In order to download the iOS 15.6 beta, head over to beta.apple.com on the device upon which you wish to run the beta OS. Register for the beta, then download the profile.
After you’ve got the profile, head to Settings > General > VPN and Device Management to activate the profile, which requires restarting your iPhone or iPad. Once it has restarted and the profile is activated, go to General > Software Update to download and install the iOS/iPadOS 15.6 beta.
Registered developers can download the profile for the developer beta by visiting developer.apple.com/download on the device upon which they wish to install the beta.

The latest update for the Chrome browser on the Mac is an important one: According to Google, it includes a critical security fix for an exploit that exists in the wild.
Version 102.0.5005.148 for Windows and Mac includes a fix for CVE-2022-2294, which refers to a heap buffer overflow in WebRTC. The flaw was reported by Jan Vojtesek from the Avast Threat Intelligence team on July 1, and Google says it is aware that an exploit for this flaw already exists in the wild.
According to CWE, heap buffer overflow is a condition “where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory.” They can generally lead to crashes and other attacks, including putting the program into an infinite loop.
The fix is one of several crucial security patches to arrive for the browser this year. Previously, Google Chrome 100.0.4896.127 patched CVE-2022-1364, which had also been exploited in the wild.
The update, which also includes numerous other security and bug fixes, will roll out over the coming days. You can check for an update by clicking on the Chrome menu in the menu bar, then selecting About Google Chrome.

Apple introduced the Mac mini with an M1 chip in November 2020. Read our Mac mini vs iMac comparison and our Mac mini M1 review for more information.
The Mac mini pricing is as follows:
You can order a Mac mini directly from Apple UK and Apple US.
We are hoping that the Mac mini may soon get the option of an M1 Pro or M1 Max, like the 2021 MacBook Pro has. When this rumoured model arrives it is likely to be a replacement for the Intel-powered Mac mini Apple is still selling, and it will have a higher price than the current M1 Mac mini models. More here: Everything we know about the next Mac mini.
Speaking of the older 3.0GHz 6-core Intel Mac mini that Apple is still selling, this may appeal if you would prefer not to move to Apple’s M1 chips right now. You can distinguish between the two by checking the colour – the Intel model is Space Grey, the M1 model is silver. We look at the M1 Mac mini vs Intel Mac mini in a separate article.
If it’s the Intel Mac mini you are after, you can get some good deals on those models:
Mac mini buyers in the U.S. can check out the following stores:
If you’re based in the U.K. you can pick up a Mac mini from the following retailers:
Apple has a number of Apple Premium Resellers in the UK who stock Macs and offer other services:
You might also be able to trade in your old Mac to get some money off your new purchase. Here’s how to get money off with Apple’s trade-in program.
Although from time to time Apple drops the price of its Macs this is quite a rare occurrence: Apple never really offers discounts other than through its official refurbished store.
With that in mind, we recommend that you should visit the Apple Refurbished Store where you can find cut-price Mac mini models. These refurbished models are Mac minis that were returned to Apple, perhaps due to a fault. Apple fully reconditions these models and offers them with a full year’s warranty.
Amazon also has a certified refurbished store for Apple products but we would advise against buying any products that are older than five years – most of the products we see on the Amazon refurbished store are unfortunately very old.

If the 45mm Apple Watch Series 7, is still a little too small for your wrist, you may be in luck: A new report claims that Apple is gearing up to launch an even bigger option with the Series 8 this fall.
Ross Young of Display Supply Chain Consultants claims that Apple will launch a 1.99-inch (5cm) model of the Apple Watch Series 8 alongside the 41mm and 45mm options. That would give the Apple Watch a 50mm option, far bigger than any watch previously released:
A 50mm Apple Watch would be the biggest leap in screen size ever for the Apple Watch, which has previously only increased by 1mm or 2mm. The new watch could start at $449 for the GPS model based on the current pricing for the Apple Watch Series 7. The 41mm model starts at $399 and the 45mm model costs $429.
Apple is also rumored to be releasing a new “rugged” model this fall aimed at extreme athletes. It’s unclear whether this larger model will also have a new case and stronger shock absorption or whether Apple will offer the options on all three models.
The Series 8 watch could also bring a new “flat” design has been rumored for several years. The new display could also be brighter than the Apple Watch Series 7. Among the other rumored features coming to the Apple Watch Series 8 are a new temperature sensor that could detect when the wearer has a fever.
The new Apple Watch will likely launch in September at the iPhone 14 event. For more information and all the latest rumors about the upcoming Apple Watch read our guide to the Apple Watch 8.

Long-time readers of the Macalope’s work will know that a favorite Apple doom scenario of his is the dreaded iPhone production cuts.
The traditional appearance of these cuts is around December when Apple would normally cut back on production after the surge in sales when new models are introduced. But since this is Apple news we’re talking about, it has to be bad. Thus, any production cuts are because nobody likes iPhones.
That’s just science.
Like the Macalope said, these rumors usually come around December, but we live in strange times. Times when Christmas for Apple doomsayers comes in July.
“Apple forced to cut iPhone 14 orders by 10%, despite anticipating strong demand”
While demand for the next generation iPhone is looking to be high, the hectic supply chain continues to disrupt the market. According to DigiTimes, Apple is cutting iPhone 14 orders by 10%, despite expecting strong demand for its lineup.
Is it really a “cut” if someone can’t supply demand? When you go to the hot dog stand and you say “I’d like one hundred hot dogs!” and Gus, the guy who runs the hot dog stand, says “Oof, I’m sorry, I just can’t make that many hot dogs, even using snouts and ears. I can give you… ninety hot dogs right now. How about that?” Do you then say “WELL! I shall CUT MY ORDER BY 10 PERCENT!”? Gus is going to look at you funny. And he’s done time. He’s seen things.
Hot dogs are one thing, but does Apple think that if people can’t buy an iPhone 14 on day one they’re just going to flip some tables in the Apple Store and go home and never buy an iPhone 14? DigiTimes seems to think so, but DigiTimes thinks a lot of weird things.
IDG
One of them being, apparently, that Apple is already “cutting” orders for the iPhone 14. Because not everyone agrees this is a thing.
“Kuo doubts Digitimes report, says iPhone 14 orders remain the same”
…analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says that “Apple’s slight adjustments for iPhone shipment forecasts (single-digit increase/decrease) are common, including new models before mass productions.”
So, if Apple is changing its orders, it’s probably not by much and it’s perfectly normal.
…“if a supply chain issue causes a significant change in the shipment plan of the new iPhones before mass production, Apple usually postpones the orders instead of cutting them.”
Right?! It’s as if DigiTimes thinks Apple is just going to give up and go sulk in its room for six months instead of take peoples orders and then just make them wait to get the phones… like it does every year.
Kuo is on record as believing that the iPhone 14 will see stronger demand in China compared to the iPhone 13, as certain distributors, retailers and scalpers have already made “the highest prepaid deposit[s] ever” for the new devices. Apple is highly unlikely to sob “Oh, what’s the use?!”, slam its bedroom door and crank up the emo rock even if it’s faced with some supply chain problems.
Plus, that’s the Macalope’s signature move. Everyone knows that.
It’s certainly possible that it might take a little longer to get an iPhone 14, so it’s something to consider if you’re thinking about upgrading this year. But it doesn’t look like overall sales are going to be negatively impacted.
At least not until the regular December production cuts come around. Then… whoo… then we’ll know that the iPhone 14 was a flop for sure.
At various points during the past several years, Apple has been rated the most valuable corporation in the world. And it’s pretty safe to assume that the company didn’t get to that point without being strategic about how it positions its products.
One big part of what’s made Apple so successful is that the company makes sure that it’s got products at every price point. No, it doesn’t compete in the super-budget department when it comes to devices—Apple is happy to leave those low-margin offerings for the likes of Android phones and Dell PCs—but when it does enter a market, it makes sure it always has a solid spread.
Of course, when you’re a company that builds powerful, good-looking devices and values its profit margins, your options are limited somewhat when it comes to making your devices more affordable. Which has led to a key part of Apple’s strategy across all its lineups: in with the old. Apple’s made a science out of retaining older products and selling them at lower prices in order to plug holes in their lineups, and it’s a move that continues to serve the company well.
On the Mac side keeping old models around to fit at a particular price point has been something that the company’s done for a long time. Long after Apple upgraded its laptops to Retina displays and eliminated optical drives, it continued to sell one older MacBook Pro model that included the latter, but not the former. Likewise, the 21.5-inch iMac with a spinning disc drive that made it until last fall.
Apple offers the 2020 M1 MacBook Air as an affordable $999 option.
More recently, this is why the company’s newly released 13-inch MacBook Pro with the Touch Bar—a laptop whose design dates to the pre-Apple silicon era—just got updated to the M2. And why the M1 MacBook Air is still on sale. And why Apple still sells a Mac mini powered by an Intel chip: it’s all about price. The new MacBook Air is a beautiful, powerful machine, but its redesigned exterior means that it’s expensive to make. Apple’s done well offering a MacBook Air at a $999 price point—there’s a reason that it’s the most popular laptop the company sells.
Until the company can ramp up production enough of its new MacBook Air to replace both the M1 Air and potentially that 13-inch MacBook Pro, expect the old models to hang around—even if they’re being outclassed by newer, shinier ones.
When it comes to its flagship product, Apple’s turned the idea of repurposing old devices into an art form. The development of the iPhone SE model was specifically to let the company continue to make older versions of its phones with hardware that it’s already been able to produce inexpensively and in large quantities, allowing it to sell them at a lower price point.
The cheapest phone from the current model year that Apple sells is the iPhone 13 mini, which starts at $699. Cheap, as far as a modern iPhone goes, but hardly in the range of those on a tighter budget. Hence the third-generation SE, which remains a slightly tweaked version of the iPhone that Apple has effectively been selling since 2014—roughly half of the iPhone’s lifetime. That SE starts at just $429, substantially cheaper than the 13 mini, not to mention the larger versions of the 13 series. (Though you can get an iPhone 11 for just $499, albeit with a slower processor and cellular than the newest SE.)
When Apple eventually rolls out a fourth-generation iPhone SE—probably a couple years from now—it will likely transition it over to the modern styling that started with the iPhone X. At that point, that design will be seven years old and it will probably be cheaper for Apple to produce all of its phones in a single design than keep around all the tools and materials to keep building phones from a decade earlier.
On the Apple Watch side, Apple’s taken an interesting mash-up of these prior two approaches. It’s kept older models of the Watch on sale—notably the five-year-old Apple Watch Series 3, which is available at the very low price of $199 even though it won’t be able to upgrade to this year’s version of watchOS.
But simultaneously, the company has tried the SE approach as well. The Apple Watch SE costs just $80 more than the Series 3 and one has to imagine that Apple very much wanted to get it down to that same price point but was unable to maintain its margins. Given that the SE is basically a slightly retooled Series 4, Apple continues to benefit from its ability to mass produce an older model without having to add in the additional cost of features like the always-on screen, ECG and blood oxygen sensors, and multiple case materials.
Reports are that this year’s Apple Watch will be based around more or less the same processor as that of the last two years, suggesting that the technology has stabilized to the point that the company might be able to finally ditch the Series 3—which it absolutely should. But don’t expect Apple to move away from the strategy of keeping some stragglers in its line-up: the cost-efficiency is just too good.
The Apple Watch Series 3 is cheap but it won’t support the next version of watchOS.
Clario for the Mac packs a healthy amount of security into one package, offering malware protection, a VPN, ad blocking, and data breach monitoring. The software guides you through its setup and use and offers help if you get into trouble. Whether you’re a novice or advanced user, Clario is an effective and supportive security program.
$107.88 a year (currently $50.00 a year); $4.17 a month for a year or $8.99 billed monthly)
Clario 1.5 for the Mac bills itself as an antivirus product, but it offers much more beyond basic protection. In addition to both real-time and on-demand malware scanning, the software kicks in ad blocking to clobber popup advertisements and website trackers. A VPN provides a secure tunnel to encrypt your internet connection. A data breach monitor will alert you if your email is caught and potentially exposed in a cyberattack. Plus, the company throws in 24/7 live security support chatting if you ever need a helping hand.
Like most security products, Clario uses a subscription model for payment with two different pricing plans, both of which cover three different devices. Right now Clario has 54% off the usual price of $107.88 / £107.88 a year, so you can pay $50.00 / £50.00 a year (billed at $4.17 / £4.17 a month). If you prefer not to sign up for the whole year you can pay $8.99 / £8.99 a month. The three devices included in the plan can include a combination of Macs and iOS or Android devices. And you can try before you buy with a free and fully functional 7-day trial.
Setting up Clario 1.5 on a Mac is quick and painless. Just download and install the program from the Clario website. After installation, you’re prompted to create an account with Clario or sign into an existing one. The software pops up to explain the features in the product, including the 7-day trial. The program then takes you through the setup process, helping you configure all the key features.
As the first step, you can add your email address to the data breach feature to receive an alert if one of your website accounts is ever detected in a website breach. Second, you’re asked if you want to enable the VPN. As the third step, you’re able to install browser extensions for Safari and Chrome to block popup ads and trackers as well as flag suspicious websites. Finally, you’re asked if you’d like to install the Clario mobile app on your iOS/iPadOS or Android device. Following the setup, Clario deposits you at the dashboard with a notice that you’re fully protected.
I like the way Clario walks you through the entire setup process so you can evaluate the different options and determine which ones you want to enable. This is a welcome change from many products that just dump you into their interface without helping you configure and use the software properly.
With the dashboard on display, you can review all the features as organized into three categories. The Browsing category shows the status of the malicious website and ad blocking as well as the VPN. Select the website and ad blocking to confirm that it’s enabled and view any content already blocked.
Next, the category for Identity monitors your online accounts for breaches, malicious apps that try to steal and compromise your personal data, and suspicious websites that attempt to hijack data filled out in a form. Drilling down through the specific features here tells you if your email address has been caught in any breaches and whether any malicious websites or apps have been discovered.
The Network category lets you view and control the VPN and indicates whether third-party websites are prevented from tracking the sites you visit. The VPN will automatically kick in if Clario detects you using an unprotected network, however, you can manually turn it on for added protection on any network.
Return to the Dashboard to get an overall picture of your security status. Here, you can trigger a quick virus scan, which is actually quite thorough. On my Mac, Clario detected and quarantined the EICAR test file, which is used to check the effectiveness of antivirus programs. In an evaluation from March 2021, AV-Test gave Clario top marks for protection and usability but a low grade for performance. A December 2020 test awarded Clario the highest marks in all three categories.
As you review the different features, Clario offers help along the way. Certain links take you to informative articles and advice on specific areas of security. You can also easily open up a chat session with a Clario support rep if you have any questions or run into any trouble.
The only downside I encountered was in performance. When I was reviewing and tweaking the different features, the program was sometimes slow and would hamper system performance. But with the software fully configured and running in the background, performance was fine. Overall, Clario is an effective and user-friendly security product well worth a spot on your Mac.

Everyone loves their earbuds, even more when they come with their own charging case. Pretty standard these days, but to take advantage of limited everyday carry space, how about an earbud charging case that also wirelessly powers up your smartphone when it’s low? That’s one of the useful touches of the Flux 7 TWS Earbuds, which includes a wireless charging case and power bank.
Of course, the main attraction here is the Flux 7 earbuds themselves. They’re primed for duty as the regular earbuds accompanying your iPhone. To improve your audio experience, the Flux 7s also comes with advanced noise-reduction tech, designed to cut down on unwanted noise intruding into your music. They also come with a voice assistant feature and a sturdy waterproof and sweatproof build that makes them perfect for a trip to the gym.
But the built-in 2000mAh polymer lithium battery in the charger is the major calling card. While that’s enough power to keep going for up to 5 hours in standby mode, it can also deliver a wireless charge to any Qi-enabled smartphone.
The Flux 7 TWS Earbuds with Wireless Charging Case and Power Bank retail for $99.99, but right now, it’s 75% off for those who get in on the deal quick, dropping the price to just $24.99.

If you are holding out for a new pair of AirPods Pro expected to arrive this fall, you might have to lower your expectations. While we had been hoping for an array of new features and a new design, it’s starting to sound like there may be precious few reasons to upgrade other than battery life.
The latest report from Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman tempers expectations for the new AirPods Pro, suggesting that Apple is so busy developing and producing the Mac chips that other areas of development have taken a back seat, the AirPods Pro being one of them. Just last week we read that next-gen AirPods Pro might not have the long-anticipated “stemless” design, and now they might not get the new health sensors that have been rumored as well.
There had been reports that the new AirPods Pro would get heart-rate monitoring and the ability to measure body temperature, but Gurman’s sources have indicated to him that “neither feature is likely to arrive in the 2022 upgrade.” Gurman does still think that these enhancements are in development and “could arrive one day.”
Among the expected new features for the next AirPods Pro are longer battery life and faster charging due to a new USB-C case. They could also gain lossless audio when listening to Apple Music tracks and other audio enhancements.
As well as Apple’s focus on Mac chip development, Gurman blames “supply bottlenecks” that have also contributed to “slower progress for the iPhone, Apple Watch and even cellular modems.” For example, while the Apple Watch Series 8 may gain the ability to detect if you have a fever, it’s expected to have the same processor as the Series 6.
After the Apple Watch Series 7 failed to bring any unique health or fitness advancements, a new rumor suggests this year’s watch could bring a new game-changing sensor that detects fevers.
The news comes via Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman, who back in April reported that Apple was planning to add body-temperature detection to the next generation of Apple Watch. Gurman shared some more information about the new feature in his weekend Power On newsletter, unfortunately, it seems, the capabilities may not live up to people’s expectations.
Gurman explains that the body-temperature detection won’t give on-demand readings as you would expect with a thermometer. Instead, it will alert you if it thinks your body temperature is too high. “The body-temperature feature won’t give you a specific reading—like with a forehead or wrist thermometer—but it should be able to tell if it believes you have a fever,” he wrote.
The new Apple Watch SE will lack this feature. Fever detection could be a major new feature after more than two years of the coronavirus pandemic. Gurman previously reported that the body-temperature sensor could also be used to help women with fertility planning
“Other than the body-temperature reader, other hardware changes will probably be minor,” Gurman states, indicating that the processing power of the chip will be no better than that of the Apple Watch Series 7 and Series 6. However, he does note that there may be a brighter display along with a previously rumored “rugged” version for extreme athletes.
Gurman details some of the reasons why this year’s Apple Watch will not offer any major new features. He notes that Apple’s chip development team has been focused on the Mac chips at the expense of other areas, he also suggests that using the same Watch processor will help Apple keep costs down at a time when the company is being affected by rising inflation, the ongoing chip shortage, and manufacturing delays. Gurman also discusses the lack of new features coming to the second generation AirPods Pro in the same newsletter, as discussed here: Don’t expect much from 2022 AirPods Pro – Gurman.

There’s a new MacBook Air on the way that’s been completely revised, not just on the inside, but for the first time in years, also the outside. The 2022 MacBook Air has a better chip, bigger display and a brand new design. But if you look in the Apple Store you will notice you can still buy the predecessor. Is it worth spending more to get the new model? We look at how the M2 MacBook Air compares to the M1 MacBook Air from 2020, examining how much more powerful the new model is, and whether that extra oomph is worth the premium price.
The new Macbook Air is certainly an eye-catcher and stands out clearly from its predecessor. Similar to the updated MacBook Pro, the new MacBook Air has gained a brand new design that includes a bigger screen as well as new color finishes. But it still has a similar footprint to the M1 model:
The width of the two laptops is the same, which makes sense because it allows for a full-size keyboard. The M2 model is a few millimeters deeper to allow for a larger screen and on average, this model is narrower than before – although it’s not tapered so the smallest edge isn’t as slim as it was.
While the tapered design allowed Apple to make a light laptop, it was also a disadvantage, as it meant less space for ports on the outside and limited space on the inside for heat dispersion. Despite the difference in design, however, both models are fanless, which could be a disadvantage to power users.
Rumors that the new MacBook Air was losing its tapered design proved correct, but any hopes that this would mean more ports have been scuppered. The M2 MacBook Air has the same two Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports as its predecessor and doesn’t have an HDMI port like the 14-inch or 16-inch MacBook Pro. The new model adds MagSafe for charging to free up a Thunderbolt port, but otherwise, both models are the same: Touch ID, two Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports, 802.11ax, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.0.
Another big difference is the color options. The M2 models have a choice of Midnight (bluish-black) and Starlight (pale gold), as well as space gray and silver (which looks slightly paler than the previous shade). The 2020 MacBook Air comes in space gray, silver, and gold.
The other eye-catching difference between the M1 and M2 models is the addition of a notch for the camera. Like the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros, the M2 MacBook Air has very slim bezels that can’t quite fit the camera. When the notch arrived on the larger MacBook Pro models in 2021 there was some criticism, but if you consider that Apple has added screen space on either side of the notch and made the display taller, you’re not actually losing any space.
The display size is the other key difference between the new M1 and M2 MacBook Air. The 2022 model has a 13.6-inch display, compared to the 13.3-inch display on the M1 model. The new model is also brighter:
The brighter screen brings it into line with the 13-inch MacBook Pro, but places it far below that of the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with 1,000 nits of max brightness. It also lacks the ProMotion technology of those models.
Apple
The M2 MacBook Air has a Liquid Retina display, rather than the Retina display of the M1 model (and the M2 MacBook Pro). The main difference is that the Liquid Retina display has better contract ratios, support for more colors (a billion, rather than millions), and more pixels per inch. The 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro go a step further with the superior Liquid Retina XDR display.
Thanks to these changes the display of the M2 MacBook Air isn’t only better than its predecessor—it’s also better than the 13-inch MacBook Pro. In everyday life, however, these differences will rarely be noticeable, although the increased brightness is a plus. The better color representation, on the other hand, will be a benefit for professional design work.
Apple currently sells three MacBook Air models: one M1 model and two M2 models. There are also a number of build-to-order options.
In terms of upgrade options, you can add 16GB RAM for $200, 512GB storage ($200), 1TB storage ($400), 2TB storage ($800). The 8-core GPU option is no longer available for this model.
In terms of upgrade options, you can add 16GB RAM for $200, 24GB ($400) 512GB storage ($200), 1TB storage ($400), 2TB storage ($800).
In terms of upgrade options, you can add 16GB RAM for $200, 24GB ($400), 1TB storage ($200), 2TB storage ($600).
We’ll look into those components in more detail below:
Like the M1, the M2 has four performance cores and four efficiency cores, for a total of 8 CPU cores, but the efficiency cores have been enhanced and there is a larger cache (16MB rather than 12MB). As a result clock speeds can be faster and you can expect improved multithreaded performance compared to the M1. In our testing, the M2 has an 18 percent faster CPU than the M1.
The new chip doesn’t just mean that the new Macs can accomplish more though, they use less power doing so: Apple promises an increased CPU performance of 18 percent with the same energy consumption thanks to various optimizations.
The higher-end M2 with 10 GPU cores offers a 35 percent more powerful GPU than the M1, based on benchmarks. However, the base model of the M2 Air has a slightly lesser GPU with only 8 GPU cores, so we expect the gains to be less with the $1,199 model.
Another factor aiding the M2’s graphics prowess is the addition of engines specifically for video editing in the M2. Plus Apple claims that the Neural Engine is 40 percent faster than in the M1.
While the standard memory offered by both the M1 and M2 MacBook Pro is the same: 8GB Unified Memory, the performance is not the same. According to Apple, the M2 delivers 50 percent more memory bandwidth compared to M1 (100GB/s memory bandwidth) so there should be some noticeable improvements.
But the biggest difference is the amount of memory. Where the M1 MacBook Air tops off at 16GB memory, the M2 MacBook Air can take as much as 24GB. That’s still less than the 32GB of the M1 Pro models, but it’s an improvement and will no doubt please those who were concerned that 16GB wasn’t enough.
As for storage, both the M1 and M2 MacBook Air ship with 256GB as standard and max out at 2TB for up to $800 more.
The webcam in the M2 supports a resolution of 1080p, which is significantly better than the low-grade 720p FaceTime HD camera in the M1 MacBook Air. That leaves the M1 MacBook Air and M2 MacBook Pro as the only laptops with the old camera.
The speakers have also been updated in the M2 MacBook Air. Instead of relying on a stereo system, the 2022 MacBook Air features four speakers with support for 3D audio, aka Spatial Audio. In addition, the 3.5mm headphone jack offers advanced support for high-impedance headphone.
Apple
With a new 67W power supply (sold separately for $20 with the 8-core GPU model, or a free option with the 10-core GPU model) you can quickly charge the M2 MacBook Air to 50 percent charge in 30 minutes. The M2 MacBook Air charges via the magnetically attached MagSafe port, so you no longer have to worry about pulling your MacBook off a desk when you stumble over the cable. There’s a 30W USB-C Power Adapter (included with the 8-core GPU M2 and the choice of a more compact 35W Dual USB-C Port Compact Power Adapter (with the 10-core GPU M2).
The M2 MacBook Air has a larger battery than its predecessor: a 52.6-watt-hour lithium-polymer battery rather than the 49.9-watt-hour lithium-polymer battery of the previous generation. Coupled with Apple’s claims that the M2 means the 2022 MacBook Air is more power efficient might lead you to suppose that the new MacBook Air would have better battery life, but Apple states that battery life is the same 18 hours.
If you are considering buying a MacBook Air right now there are three models to choose from: the original M1 MacBook Air with a 7-core GPU for $999/£999, a new M2 MacBook Air with an 8-core GPU for $1,199/£1,249, and a top-of-the-range M2 MacBook Air with 10-core GPU for $1,499/£1,549.
The new model offers a M2 processor with more GPU cores, a bigger screen, and a brand new design for just $200 more than the M1 model. This looks like a great deal. However, that viewpoint depends on where in the world you are based. Outside the US the price comparisons aren’t quite so favourable (in the UK there’s a £250 difference, in Europe a €300 difference, and in Australia a AU$400 difference).
In the US the new model also looks like an excellent deal in comparison to the one it replaces: at $1,199 it replaces a M1 MacBook Air model that previously cost $1,249. However, elsewhere in the world the price of the M2 model is either the same as before, or more than it was. In the UK the price remains at £1,249, in Europe the price is €100 more at €1,499, while in Australia it’s now up AU$50 at AU$1,899. Obviously currency-based price fluctuations are to be expected during these uncertain economic times, but it does mean that the decision of whether something is a good price or not is very much relative to where you live.
It should also be noted that where this M1 MacBook Air with 8-core GPU had a 512GB SSD, the M2 MacBook Air that has taken its place only offers a 256GB SSD, which may be reflected in Apple’s price reduction, at least in the US.
The MacBook Air with M2 is in many respects a significant improvement over its predecessor. It offers better performance, a more modern design, an improved display, and some smaller but notable improvements.
If you are one of those users who use the MacBook primarily for everyday tasks, such as surfing the web, reading emails or watching videos, you should consider whether the new design is worth it compared to the cheaper $999/£999 M1 MacBook Air. A M1 Macbook Air will be able to handle all these tasks without any problems.
But if you do more with your MacBook or use it for professional applications such as video editing or photo editing, the M2 MacBook Air is definitely worth the extra money compared to its predecessor. In fact, if your budget allows, we recommend jumping to the higher-end model with a 10-core GPU for the extra storage and better graphics. And as always, you should buy as much memory as you can afford
The M1 MacBook Air is definitely a good machine even at more than a year and a half old, but you’ll be much happier with the newer MacBook Air in a year or two.
I also still believe that Apple is working on a larger-screened iMac aimed at the professional market. I'd imagine this will use a variation of the M3 chip, likely an M3 Pro and M3 Max. That would match the chips inside of the MacBook Pro. I don't think the combination of a Mac Studio or Mac mini plus an Apple Studio Display cuts it for many pro users who want more screen real estate.
If your iPhone or iPad is misbehaving and initial solutions are not working, a full reset may be necessary. Taking your device back to how it was out of the box can often help resolve issues like constant crashing, freezing or other serious problems.
It’s something of a nuclear option, though, so before you take this route we’d recommend restarting or force-restarting your device as these will leave your data and settings intact. Another option is to ensure that the version of iOS or iPadOS on your device is up to date, as the problem might be caused by an issue that has since been patched by Apple. We explain how to do this in our how to update iOS guide.
Of course, if you’re selling your iPhone (or passing it down to a family member or friend) it’s absolutely vital that you delete all the sensitive data stored on it. If not, an unscrupulous buyer could gain access to your social media profiles, financial information and even your personal photos and videos.
As with any activity that deletes date, we’d recommend that you back up your iPhone or iPad before you attempt resetting the device. After your device has been wiped you will be able to download your data from your backup.
We’ll concentrate on iPhone for this tutorial, but the steps should be the same for iPad. There are two ways to erase your iPhone or iPad, one is useful if you just want to erase everything and then recover the data from a backup, the other is useful if you are moving to a new device and selling or passing on the one you are erasing.
To factory-reset an iPhone follow these steps (after backing up your device).
If you want help backing your data up to iCloud and want to make sure you cover all the important steps that you should make when selling your old device, you can make use of the Prepare for New iPhone instructions, which will walk you through the process.
During the process for resetting you iPhone your passcode will be requested, you may also need to use the password associated with your Apple ID. This is a problem if you have forgotten it.
There is a workaround if you have forgotten your passcode, but remember your Apple ID password:
After a few minutes, your iPhone or iPad will restart and you’ll be at the setup screen, as if it was a new device you just took out of the box. For obvious security reasons, there’s no way to reset your iPhone after a lost passcode without erasing all your apps and data. It would provide an exploitable loop for bad actors to get around the passcode timeouts and such. But as long as you back up your iPhone regularly (either via iCloud or with a connection to your computer) it shouldn’t be too onerous to start over.
Resetting without a password used to require plugging into a computer via USB, entering recovery mode…it was a whole process. The good news is, Apple made this a lot easier as of iOS 15.2 (and iPadOS 15.2). So, if your device is running that version or later you can follow the steps below (otherwise click on the link above to reset via a computer). If you have forgotten your Apple ID password read this for help: How to reset Apple ID if you forgot the password.
If, having erased the content of the phone, you intend to keep using it, you can restore the content to your phone from your backup – assuming you have one, if not check out the section below. Here’s to recover your iPhone or iPad data:
With the factory reset completed you’ll need to go through the setup of your iPhone again from the beginning:
Depending on the version of macOS you’re running, you’ll either be able to use Finder (macOS Mojave and later) or iTunes (macOS Catalina or earlier) to restore a backup.
If you didn’t backup your iPhone or iPad first, it’s likely that you won’t be able to retrieve data once you have deleted it.
The data on an iOS device is automatically encrypted, and wiping the device destroys the encryption key, making it more or less impossible to get anything back when it’s been fully erased and reset without access to a backup.
In an emergency you could try speaking to someone at an Apple Genius Bar, but it’s a long shot to say the least. (This applies to a full erase/reset, mind you – in other circumstances, such as data corruption, a malfunctioning device and so on, the experts may be able to help.) This also reinforces our frequent advice to back up regularly.
If you’re worried that your iPhone or iPad wasn’t backed up, don’t give up hope: there’s a chance there may be a backup of which you’re unaware.
To find out if you’re backing up to iCloud follow these steps:
One of the backups should say that it is This iPhone or This iPad. Tap on that and you can see what is, and isn’t being backed up. You can basically turn things on and off so that they don’t take up your full free 5GB iCloud allocation, or you can pay a few dollars/pounds a month for more storage.
If you don’t see a backup from the device you were hoping to recover, but you do have backups of other devices (perhaps you have an iPad backup, but not an iPhone backup) you should be able to recover some of your data simply because once you link your iPhone to your iCloud account the shared data should be available on your iPhone.
If you weren’t backing you IiPhone up to iCloud we suggest you do! Read How to back up an iPhone or iPad or follow the steps below.
If the backup is going to take ages you can reduce the amount of data being backed up. For example, you may think that some of the apps don’t need to be backed up; after all, you will be able to download them again from the App Store as you already own them. But note that the data may include saved data for games, and other settings and preferences you would prefer not to lose.
There you have it. A quick guide on resetting your iPhone and then restoring it once more. Of course, if you’re moving on from that older device and fancy something newer, be sure to read our best iPhone deals roundup to see if you can save some money in the process.
A photo you want to upload or print for some purpose might be considered too “low resolution” to meet the needs of a site, printing, or online photo service. What options do you have? You can change an image’s resolution to solve the problem.
There are two aspects of a digital image that are often described as “resolution”:
In many cases, the right amount of information is in the image and you don’t need to modify that. Instead, you need to modify the scale so that it maps in a way a website, printer driver, or service accepts it. For instance, printer software might recommend 300 ppi from an input image to produce a 6-color or 8-color 1,200 dpi ink-jet print. (Because screen pixels represent millions or even billions of colors, and because printer dots can only reproduce a few colors—as few as black plus cyan, magenta, and yellow on an inexpensive ink jet—higher printer-dot density is required to simulate the color of the original.)
You can change the density in the built-in Preview app in macOS:
If you need more image data than is present in a file, typically because you cropped an image, you can resize in Preview. The results will often look blurry when zoomed in at 100% because Preview can’t add new information where it doesn’t exist. It can only fill in new pixels that average adjoining ones.
To “upscale” an image, follow steps 1 to 4 above, and then:
In step 2 above, you might change both resolution and unit dimensions if you know the output size and required resolution. For instance, change Resolution to 300 and Width to 12 inches for a 12-inch-wide print, and Preview calculates that it will need to upscale the image by 119 percent.
Higher-end photo-editing software includes more sophisticated upscaling routines. Adobe Photoshop offers several through a popup menu that lets you pick and preview based on the kind of image you’re resizing. You might choose one algorithm for a screen capture or high-contrast image and another for a well-lit outdoor shot.
You can also turn to software that incorporates machine-learning artificial-intelligence scaling that can intelligently take patterns in images to smooth and fill in enlargements to look more realistic. You can’t add information from a void, but algorithms can remove hard edges and pixelization while smoothing out tones, particularly on faces.
AI options include features found in newer versions of Adobe Lightroom (Enhance) and Photoshop (Neural Filters); both apps are part of an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription. You can also look to standalone apps or Photoshop plug-ins, like ON1 Resize AI ($79.99) and Topaz Gigapixel AI ($99.99).

You can expect some new health-tracking features in this year's Apple Watch. In April, I reported that Apple has been aiming to add body-temperature detection to its Series 8 model, assuming the capability passes muster during internal testing. I now believe the feature is a go for both the standard Apple Watch Series 8 and a new rugged edition that's aimed at extreme sports athletes.In January, Gurman said that internal chatter of a body temperature sensor for the Apple Watch Series 8 had slowed down. Since then, enthusiasm for the feature has apparently increased within Apple, helping push development forward. Apple has frequently added new sensors and health capabilities to the Apple Watch, with the last addition being the blood oxygen sensor in the Apple Watch Series 6.
The broad goal for Project Texas is to help build trust with users and key stakeholders by improving our systems and controls, but it is also to make substantive progress toward compliance with a final agreement with the U.S. Government that will fully safeguard user data and U.S. national security interests. We have not spoken publicly about these plans out of respect for the confidentiality of the engagement with the U.S. Government, but circumstances now require that we share some of that information publicly to clear up the errors and misconceptions in the article and some ongoing concerns related to other aspects of our business.Concerns over TikTok have heightened over the last two weeks following a BuzzFeed News report that suggested TikTok engineers in China had access to the data of U.S. users between September 2021 and January 2022. "Everything is seen in China," said one TikTok employee in recordings reviewed by BuzzFeed, with the recordings also referencing a "Master Admin" engineer in China who "has access to everything."
