**First Apple Watch with micro-LED display still on track for late 2025**
https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/01/apple-watch-display.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600
We’ve been hearing rumors about Apple adopting micro-LED displays in its products for a while now, but there’s still no sign of it happening anytime soon. Also according to rumors, Apple Watch could be the first product to receive the new display – and analyst Jeff Pu from Haitong Tech said in his latest report that this is still the case. According to him, the first Apple Watch with micro-LED is still on track for late 2025.

**Here’s how to disable ‘Click wallpaper to reveal desktop’ on macOS Sonoma**
https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-05-at-1.45.58-PM.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600
Apple on Tuesday released macOS Sonoma to the public (https://9to5mac.com/2023/09/26/macos-sonoma-release/), and the update brings multiple new features – including some minor ones. One thing users have probably noticed after installing the update is the new “Click wallpaper to reveal desktop” option that comes enabled by default and, as the name suggests, it hides all windows when you click on the wallpaper.
If you’re annoyed by this new feature, don’t worry, there’s a way to turn it off.

https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/09/Tripsy-update.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600
I’ve written about Tripsy here on _9to5Mac_ (https://9to5mac.com/2023/03/13/tripsy-travel-planner-weather-conditions/) a couple of times, as it’s a great app to help people plan their trips with full itineraries.

https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/09/tempo-custom-workouts-watchos-10.webp?w=1600
One of the wonderful things about relying on indie developers to make great apps is the fact that they almost always adopt new features on day one. Take Tempo 5 (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tempo-advanced-running-stats/id1106746589) for example. Apple just released iOS 17 and watchOS 10 with a new custom workout feature for developers, and Tempo has already baked in support for planning and add custom run, walk, and hike workouts.

We noted on Friday that shipments for select iPhone 15 models had started slipping (https://9to5mac.com/2023/09/15/iphone-15-pro-ship-dates/) all the way into November after pre-orders started (https://9to5mac.com/2023/09/15/iphone-15-and-iphone-15-pro-now-available-for-pre-order/). Now, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has published a report (https://medium.com/@mingchikuo/iphone-15%E9%A6%96%E9%80%B1%E6%9C%AB%E9%A0%90%E8%B3%BC%E8%A7%80%E5%AF%9F-thoughts-on-the-iphone-15-first-weekend-pre-order-436f33668ad6) on the first weekend of iPhone 15 pre-orders, pointing out that the iPhone 15 Pro Max is selling particularly strong so far.

If you’re preparing for your iPhone 15 by doing some accessory shopping (https://9to5mac.com/2023/09/12/best-iphone-15-cases/), there’s an important tidbit to keep in mind: iPhone 14 cases **will not** fit your new iPhone 15 (https://9to5mac.com/2023/09/12/best-iphone-15-cases/).

Evidence continues to mount (https://9to5mac.com/2023/08/30/finewoven-iphone-15-case/) that the iPhone 15 will mark the end (https://9to5mac.com/2023/08/28/iphone-15-leather-case-replace-woven/) of Apple’s selection of leather (https://9to5mac.com/2023/08/17/no-apple-leather-cases/)cases.

**Mac malware can easily bypass Apple’s Background Task Manager, says security researcher**
https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/08/Mac-malware-can-easily-bypass-Apples-Background-Task-Manager.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1500
macOS has a number of built-in tools to detect Mac malware (https://9to5mac.com/guides/malware/), with Background Task Manager added to the defenses last year. However, a security (https://9to5mac.com/guides/security/) researcher says that this can be trivially bypassed, and that Apple (https://9to5mac.com/guides/aapl/) failed to act on his recommendations to fix it.

https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/08/mls-season-pass-lionel-messi.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600
The prominence of MLS Season Pass (https://tinyurl.com/mlsappletv) is rising leaps and bounds with the arrival of soccer legend Lionel Messi to the league. Apple is capitalizing on the hype with multiple documentary series in development for its streaming service Apple TV+ (https://tinyurl.com/getappletvplus).
The first of the projects was announced in June (https://www.apple.com/tv-pr/news/2023/06/apple-tv-scores-with-documentary-series-featuring-legendary-football-champion-lionel-messi-and-his-fifa-world-cup-career-culminating-in-his-dramatic-qatar-2022-win/), which will follow Messi’s World Cup career culminating in his win at Qatar last year. Separately, Bloomberg is now reporting (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2023-08-13/a-lionel-messi-docuseries-is-coming-to-apple?sref=W6GJF3MS) a second documentary is in the works, specifically targeting his MLS run.

While the macOS update doesn’t add any major new features, it does come with multiple security patches, but it seems one of them resulted in an annoying bug. Reportedly, some Mac users are unable to change Location Services settings after installing macOS Ventura 13.5.

While we’re expecting micro-LED (https://9to5mac.com/guides/micro-led/) to roll out first to the Apple Watch before later making its way to the iPhone, iPad, and Mac, today’s report suggests that a Vision Pro (https://9to5mac.com/guides/vision-pro/) successor may also get the new tech at a relatively early stage …

https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2022/06/M2-versus-M1-Pro.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600
Nikkei is reporting (https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Tech/Semiconductors/Apple-Samsung-to-invest-in-Arm-as-it-eyes-September-IPO) that chip design company Arm is set to go public on the US Nasdaq stock exchange later this year, with an IPO valued at more than $60 billion.
Apple, Samsung, Nvidia, Intel, and other leading chipmakers will invest in Arm stock when it goes public. For Apple, this ownership stake will help secure a stable future for the chip architecture that forms the foundations of all of its Apple Silicon chips.

**iPhone 15 Pro rumored to ditch stainless steel for titanium: What we know**
https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2019/09/apple-watch-series-5-titanium.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600
Among other changes, this year’s iPhone 15 Pro models are rumored to feature a new chassis made out of titanium for the first time. This could make for a lighter design, additional durability, and more. In fact, it could be one of the biggest design changes to the iPhone in years, marking an end to the stainless steel era that started with the iPhone X in 2017.

**Review: ZAGG’s new Pro Keyboards for Mac are still a tough sell, even with Qi wireless charging**
https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/08/ZAGG-Pro-Keyboard-Qi-lead.png?w=1600
Last month, ZAGG launched a new series of keyboards that, at first glance, seem to be fairly standard options for your workstation. The macOS and iOS support out of the box is a very nice touch, as is the ability to pair the keyboards with multiple devices. But the real reason I’m taking a hands-on look at the new ZAGG Pro Keyboards is the one feature (https://sovrn.co/17lgxnz) that makes these truly unique – Qi charging support.

**Apple Vision Diary: Trying virtual Mac monitors on the Quest 2**
https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/08/Virtual-Mac-monitors.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1389
While some rolled their eyes when Apple described Vision Pro (https://9to5mac.com/guides/vision-pro/) as a spatial computer, instead of a headset, I didn’t. That’s because, to me, having virtual Mac monitors in front of my eyes, no matter where I am, is _by far_ the most exciting use case for the device.
At a minimum, it could transform the way I work when away from my home office – and in the longer term, it could potentially be a great way to work even when at home. So when I discovered I could try out this idea on the Meta Quest 2, I couldn’t wait to do so …

A report last month revealed that Apple Pay was coming to Vietnam (https://9to5mac.com/2023/07/11/apple-pay-coming-to-vietnam/) after the country’s Ministry of Industry and Trade accidentally shared a news story about the launch of the platform there.

There has been a couple of sketchy suggestions over the weekend suggesting that the iPhone 15 Pro storage tiers may max out at 2TB, with one of them a reference to the lineup starting at 256GB instead of 128GB.
While this idea might relate to earlier reports that Apple will be increasing the price of this year’s Pro models, we would urge caution given the sources …
