Apple issues critical alert: iPhone users urged to download iOS 18.5 immediately to avoid major security risks
Some of Apple IPhone 's major security glitches could be in for a quick fix with the US Tech giant releasing an important update for its iOS software, named iOS 18.5. The security bugs were a major concern for Apple, as they could access photos, messages and other personal data on a phone, and could also lead to crashing of apps, according to some reports. Apple said they fixed the problem using something called 'improved input sanitisation'. The update is for iPhone XS and newer models, older phones won't get it. Safe Data Storage, a UK data expert company, says you should install the update immediately to protect your phone, as per reports. A rep from Safe Data Storage said, 'Apple acted fast, but users need to act too. These updates are no longer optional, they're your first line of defence.'

Google makes case for keeping Chrome browser
WASHINGTON: Google on Friday urged a US judge to reject the notion of making it spin off its Chrome browser to weaken its dominance in online search. Rival attorneys made their final arguments before US District Court Judge Amit Mehta, who is considering "remedies" to impose after making a landmark decision last year that Google maintained an illegal monopoly in search. US government attorneys have called on Mehta to order Google divest itself of Chrome browser, contending that artificial intelligence is poised to ramp up the tech giant's dominance as the go-to window into the internet. They also want Google barred from agreements with partners such as Apple and Samsung to distribute its search tools, which was the focus of the suit against the Silicon Valley internet giant. Three weeks of testimony ended early in May, with Friday devoted to rival sides arguing points of law and making their arguments before Mehta in a courtroom in Washington. John Schmidtlein, an attorney for Google, told Mehta that there was no evidence presented showing people would have opted for a different search engine if no exclusivity deals had been in place. Schmidtlein noted that Verizon installed Chrome on smartphones even though the US telecom titan owned Yahoo! search engine and was not bound by a contract with Google. Of the 100 or so witnesses heard at trial, not one said "if I had more flexibility, I would have installed Bing" internet search browser from Microsoft, the Google attorney told the judge. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Department of Justice attorney David Dahlquist countered that Apple, which was paid billions of dollars to make Chrome the default browser on iPhones, "repeatedly asked for more flexibility" but was denied by Google. G oogle contends that the United States has gone way beyond the scope of the suit by recommending a spinoff of Chrome, and holding open the option to force a sale of its Android mobile operating system. The potential of Chrome being hobbled or spun off comes as rivals such as Microsoft, ChatGPT and Perplexity put generative artificial intelligence to work fetching information from the internet in response to user queries. The online search antitrust suit was filed against Google some five years ago, before ChatGPT made its debut, triggering AI fervor. Google is among the tech companies investing heavily to be among the leader in AI, and is weaving the technology into search and other online offerings.

Apple could be planning to release these new Macs later this year: Here's what we expect
Apple's WWDC 2025 event is scheduled for June 9, and excitement is building, but not just for the expected major software redesigns, but also due to speculation around new Mac launches. Over the past few years, Apple has followed a mostly consistent Mac release cycle, typically unveiling MacBook Air models early in the year and MacBook Pro models towards the end. That said, fresh Mac models seem likely on the way later this year. Here's what we know so far. Apple launched the MacBook Pro Series, powered by the new M4 series of chipsets, back in October 2024. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has voiced that the new M5-powered MacBook Pro models could also launch during the autumn, so it wouldn't be out of the ordinary to expect the new MacBooks to launch in October this autumn. The M5 chipset will be the fifth-generation Apple chipset, following the M1, M2, M3, and last year's M4 series. They both suggest that it could still continue to feature TSMC's 3nm technology, instead of the 2nm technology that was rumoured earlier. Apple has had the 24-inch iMac in the lineup for a long time, which was upgraded to the M4 chipset. However, there is certainly a need for a bigger iMac. Regarding this, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has previously predicted that a higher-end 32-inch mini-LED powered iMac could launch in 2025. During the same prediction, he also said that there would be a new 24-inch iMac Refresh in 2024, which did happen in the form of the M4 chipset. So, if this prediction turns out to be true, we may finally get a 32-inch iMac this year, which will bridge the gap and allow for a much larger display. Some models are still uncertain, including the iMac Pro, which still has M2 family chipsets, and it is also not clear when we will see the next-generation MacBook Air get powered by the M5. If the launch timeline is any indicator, we just got the M4-powered MacBook Air models earlier this year, so it would be unlikely for Apple to release an M5-powered MacBook Air this year, and it does tie up with the current launch cycle that Apple is going for.
