【iPhone】

1. A teardown of the iPhone 16 Pro models revealed differences in battery removal processes compared to the iPhone 16. The Pro models use traditional stretch release adhesive, with a metal-encased battery only in the 16 Pro, not the Pro Max. Design changes make repairs easier, and the models use a Qualcomm SDX71M modem. iFixit rated the repairability as 7 out of 10.

2. Apple is testing iOS 18.0.1, expected to fix issues like touchscreen problems on the iPhone 16 series. It will be released before iOS 18.1 in October, which includes Apple Intelligence features for newer models.

【iPad】

1. Apple is developing a smart display, internally called "HomeAccessory," to function as a home hub. It features a squarish design, a built-in camera for FaceTime, and runs a variant of tvOS. Launch is anticipated by 2025.

2. Best Buy offers significant discounts on M2 iPad Pro models, highlighting savings on 1TB and 2TB versions. Despite differences with the newer M4 models, these deals provide a cost-effective option for consumers.

【Mac】

1. Apple released a firmware update for AirPods Pro 2, potentially preparing for future hearing aid and test features. The update is installed automatically when connected to an iOS device or Mac.

【Others】

1. Disney+ introduced a "Paid Sharing" program to limit account usage to a single household, similar to Netflix's strategy. The program includes an "Extra Member" feature for a fee, allowing limited sharing outside the household.
