Apple redesigned its free pro camera app with support for the new iPhone’s variable aperture.

A major update for Final Cut Camera is now available that introduces a redesign with customizable overlays and easier access to popular settings like shutter angle, white balance, and the iPhone 18 Pro’s new variable aperture. Apple Creator Studio has also been updated with new template collections and advanced selections for Pixelmator Pro plus trigonometry, statistics, and logic functions for Numbers spreadsheets.

<em>Popular settings like shutter angle, white balance, and ISO are easier to access in the latest version of Final Cut Camera.</em>
<em>Calibrating multiple iPhones during a shoot is easier with new overlays for checking color balance and exposure.</em>
<em>A new tally light red border makes it easier to see at a glance when an iPhone is recording while a two-finger tap now clears the Final Cut Camera viewfinder of distractions.</em>

Everyone loves a good murder board.

It’s been a solid year for crime thrillers with the likes of Furious, and now Apple TV is entering the fray with Nocturne. It’s hard to gather too much from the new trailer — though Stephen Graham is shaping up to be a very fun serial killer — but the show starts streaming on October 30th.

Google accidentally broke a whole lot of iOS apps overnight.

An issue in Firebase’s analytics led some iOS apps that use the Google service to crash on launch, a problem which persisted for hours even after Google’s fix. That’s one more thing to worry about after internet outages and rogue AI attacks.

iOS 27.0.1 is out now with a fix for unexpected iPhone 18 Pro restarts.

According to Apple’s patch notes, here’s what’s fixed:

iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max may unexpectedly restart when Face ID fails to authenticate

A color artifact may appear on photos captured at 2x under certain lighting conditions at f/1.48 on a small number of iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max devices

Opening Notification Center and Control Center simultaneously may cause the touchscreen to become unresponsive

Why is Ghostface at my door?

To test the new AI-powered features on Ring, Google Nest, and Apple Home connected video doorbells, I put on the iconic Scream mask to see if any of them would warn me.

The White House wants you to know it was the #1 News app in the App Store.

That revamped Trump admin app (now offering access to Trump TV) apparently bounced up to the top of the News list this week.

You might think that securing access to the Strait of Hormuz or really anything else would be the federal government’s focus, but hey, it had the number one app in a category, and as David Pierce wrote in February, the very best thing about that is “being able to tell people you were number one.” The app has since slipped to #2 in news behind X, and to #96 overall.

You can customize the EQ on some AirPods now.

After a recent software update, the custom EQ option is now available on a handful of supported AirPods, 9to5Mac reports. You can find it in the Settings app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac — on my MacBook Air the new Equalizer feature was under Audio & Routing in my AirPods Pro 3 settings.
