Weekly overview 44: Doubts about AI-Siri, iPad mini and iPhone 18 camera rumors

MacPaw, the company behind CleanMyMac and Setapp, has released a new app called Moonlock. Moonlock is a cybersecurity app that gives you real-time protection, insight into your Mac’s security status, and clear instructions on how to improve it, all without making it too complicated. The user-friendly graphical interface is exactly what you would expect from MacPaw and is reminiscent of CleanMyMac X.

Moonlock is based on the same engine that has powered CleanMyMac’s security options since 2023. It was developed by MacPaw’s internal research lab, which actively monitors Mac-specific malware, stealer families, and other threats. In addition, the engine offers protection against various versions of the Atomic macOS Stealer (AMOS). This malware is designed to steal sensitive data from macOS systems, such as passwords, cookies, autofill data, and crypto wallets.

Apple is expected to be working on a new iPad mini that will be released in 2026, with various improvements that should give the popular compact model a major upgrade. For example, there is a slightly larger OLED screen.

The mini will also make leaps forward in terms of performance. For example, Apple may want to add the A19 Pro chip as a powerful processor for Apple Intelligence, among other things. Below is an overview of the most important rumors and expected specifications.

After years of varying rumors, it appears that Apple is finally working on an adjustable aperture for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models. With such a system, the camera can determine how much light falls on the sensor, which provides more control in different lighting conditions.

Where ETNews previously reported that both the iPhone 18 Pro and the iPhone 18 Pro Max would get this feature, claims Digital Chat Station now that only the largest model, the iPhone 18 Pro Max, is equipped with an adjustable aperture. Apple thus appears to be limiting the technological experiment to the top model for the time being.
