๐ Apple cancels Mac-connected AR smart glasses
๐ฐ Apple is no longer developing augmented reality glasses designed to pair with the Mac, reports Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
๐ชซ The first rumors about such a device appeared in the summer of 2024. Now, according to the latest information, Apple abandoned the development of the project because of the lack of clear product positioning, as well as because of a technical problem: the glasses were draining the battery of the iPhone very much, so in the later stages of design they were planned to use only with Mac.
๐ At the moment Apple will focus its attention only on the direct successor to Apple Vision Pro and its cheaper version. The former device could come out between fall 2025 and summer 2026, while the latter is rumored not to be expected until at least 2027, but due to the cancellation of lightweight AR glasses, a cheaper version of the Vision Pro could come out sooner.

โน๏ธ Last month, iOS 18.3 code references to a potential new "Invites" app were discovered. The report said the app would have iCloud integration and help users to organize meetings and other events.
๐ฐ Now Mark Gurman reports that the new service will offer users a "new way to invite people to parties, functions, and meetings." He did not say if this functionality would be available through a new standalone app, or built into an existing app, such as Calendar.
For years, Apple has been seeking to revamp its calendar app โ and this new initiative could be the beginning of a broader effort. The release is tied to iOS 18.3, which just started rolling out last Monday.
๐ค Gurman's information seems to corroborate previous findings, but there are still many unknown details. Apple's expected announcement should provide more clarity soon.

๐ Apple has expressed deep concern about the appearance of the first porn application for iOS called Hot Tub, available for download in the European Union through alternative app stores. This was stated by its spokesperson Peter Ajemian to The Verge.
We are deeply concerned about the safety risks that hardcore porn apps of this type create for EU users, especially kids. This app and others like it will undermine consumer trust and confidence in our ecosystem that we have worked for more than a decade to make the best in the world. Contrary to the false statements made by the marketplace developer, we certainly do not approve of this app and would never offer it in our App Store. The truth is that we are required by the European Commission to allow it to be distributed by marketplace operators like AltStore and Epic who may not share our concerns for user safety.
โ emailed Peter to The Verge.
โน๏ธ Apple has long refused to allow apps to be installed on its mobile devices, bypassing its AppStore app store. That changed in 2022 with the European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA), which required the corporation to allow alternative app stores, making AltStore and Epic stores available to EU residents.
