The iPhone XS Max and Garmin watch pairing cannot use BLE to send Scan Response; it can only send BLE advertisements. May I ask if this is a limitation of the Apple system? So far, we have tested several iPhone models, and only the iPhone XS Max has this issue. We are not sure if other untested models have the same problem.

Based a quick research, comfort and fit, noise cancellation issues and durability seems to be the most consistent issues with pilot headsets. I wouldn’t say there is a problem here, because you can easily throw out the faulty headset and spend another $1000 on a new one. However, what if apple can profit by introducing their version of pilot headsets? Besides, most airlines use Apple iPads for Navigation, crew scheduling etc. Make it a one stop shop. Apple already has the framework for music headsets, why not use it as a base for pilot headsets? Disrupt an already stagnant market and give pilots a great alternative. Tap into the interests of a new generation of pilots again most which already uses Apple products. Come up with a new fresh look of ‘pilot comms.’ A good idea is to pitch to the GA (general aviation) industry maybe include Apple headsets with the purchase of a new aircraft.

I'm running IOS 18.5 on my iPhone 16 Pro Max. If I delete an email on my iPhone, it is still in the inbox on my iMac. If I delete an email on my iMac it is deleted from the inbox on my iPhone. Is this because of the Beta software on my phone?

Hello Devs,
I wanted to bring this up to display the frustration that I have obtaining the CarPlay entitlements. First and foremost they don't give you a set timeline and there is no contact number to speak to someone about this. When you call developer support they go on and say it is a different department. There is an email but all I have received is an automated response back to me.
Has anyone received the navigation entitlements and if so what was the timeline of you receiving it?
I have developed three apps using the Screen Time API. The following are common problems I encountered in the three apps:
DeviceActivityMonitorExtension is automatically killed after running for a few days (frequently)
The same DeviceActivityEvent in DeviceActivityMonitorExtension is triggered twice during eventDidReachThreshold (especially obvious in iOS18.5)
Screen Time authorization is automatically canceled for no reason (occasionally)
I hope to get help
Hi everyone,
It’s been almost three weeks, and I’m still waiting for a reply about my subscription to the Apple Developer Program, but I haven’t received anything. I replied to the email three days ago and got no response.
I tried again by requesting the subscription two days ago, but all I received was an automated message saying they would reply within two business days.
What I did: I went to my Apple Developer account, clicked on Subscriptions, and entered my card details. They sent me an email saying they are preparing my order, but nothing else.
Has anyone else had the same issue with Apple Developer support?
Regards,

Hello Apple Developer Community,
I'd like to propose a system-wide enhancement for future versions of iOS: the integration of native utility apps — Calculator, Compass, Voice Memos, Magnifier, Measure, Weather, and Translate — into a single unified app, tentatively called Apple Assist.
The vision is to provide:
A modular interface where users can enable/disable tools as needed.
Smarter workflows with proactive suggestions based on context (time, location, task).
AI-powered interaction through voice and Apple Intelligence (Advanced Siri).
Benefits:
Reduces icon clutter on the Home Screen.
Simplifies the user experience with a single access point.
Creates opportunities for automation and accessibility.
Imagine saying:
“Hey Siri, record a quick note and measure the table” — and the app smartly loads those modules on demand.
Would love to hear feedback from the community — and whether Apple might consider something in this direction for iOS 19 or beyond.
Best regards,
Jose Luiz Horta Barbosa Maurity Cruz

If I have, say a doctor appointment in the Calendar app, and I'm leaving to go to it, the address will appear in Apple Maps on CarPlay. Forgive if I'm getting the details wrong, but I believe if I bring up the Map, it will be available to tap on, so I can quickly go there. I think it may also show up on one on the car-play screens that shows a few different panels.

I use DeviceActivityCenter to monitor app usage.
For DeviceActivityEvent, I set 30 events, and the threshold of each event increases by 2 minutes:
var events: [DeviceActivityEvent.Name: DeviceActivityEvent] = [:]
for index in 0..<30 {
let threshold = (index == 29)
? DateComponents(hour: 1)
: DateComponents(minute: (index + 1) * 2)
let name = DeviceActivityEvent.Name("\(prefix)|\(index)")
events[name] = DeviceActivityEvent(applications: tokens, threshold: threshold)
}
After reaching the last DeviceActivityEvent, I will restart directly in DeviceActivityMonitor
private func restartMonitoring(activity: DeviceActivityName) {
let center = DeviceActivityCenter()
let currentEvents = center.events(for: activity)
do {
try center.startMonitoring(activity, during: schedule, events: currentEvents)
} catch {
print("Fail: \(error)")
}
}
But I found that after restarting, DeviceActivityEvent will be automatically executed even if I don't use the app.
My iOS version is 18.5

I don't know if this is the right place to raise this, so apologies if not.
For years now, I have exported an NFS share from a host Mac which I connect to from a Raspberry Pi on the same network. I configure this by adding a line in /etc/exports - /Users/Pi -mapall=myusername
This has always worked flawlessly, but since updating my Mac (M4 Mac Mini) to Sequoia 15.5 last week, it has developed a problem. If the NFS share is not accessed from the Pi for five minutes, it dies, and the Pi's file manager locks up necessitating a complete reboot.
If I run a script on the PI which does an ls on the mounted share every 5 minutes, the lockup does not happen. But if I extend the period to 6 minutes, the lockup occurs.
Something on the Mac NFS server seems to be dying in an unrecoverable fashion after five minutes of idle. Even with nfsd logging set to verbose, there is nothing helpful in the console logs.
I am open to suggestions to further investigate or to try and fix this, but this is basically a showstopper for me - I need to be able to share data between Mac and Pi, and this is now broken.

I want to install tesseract in order to get OCR feature in ChatGPT.
Tesseract install requires the use of HomeBrew on macOS
But I am using macOS 15.5 and the version of HomeBrew is not compatible.
When tying to install Tasseract, old version of HomeBrew is detected and HomeBrew starts updating automatically.
The process goes fine until the download of the jpegsrc.v9d.tar.gz component. SHA256 mismatch is detected and the update process stops.
But the downloaded jpegsrc.v9d.tar.gz doesn't seem to be corrupted. Maybe an error of the expected SHA256?
Any help is welcome that would enable me to complete the HomeBrew update process.
Many thanks in advance for your support.
------------------------------ This is what I get in Terminal:
Error: Could not find an SDK that supports macOS 15.5.
You may have have an outdated or incompatible CLT.

Right now, Apple’s iCloud Keychain (where saved passwords are stored) relies on the same authentication methods as your iPhone in general: Face ID or device passcode. This means:
• If Face ID fails, it falls back to the device passcode.
• Anyone with your passcode can unlock not only your phone but also your saved passwords by allowing the phone to go into the “enter iPhone password to view passwords” on the password app.
Why this matters
if someone knows or coerces your device passcode, they could potentially:
• Bypass Face ID
• Access sensitive password data
• Compromise multiple accounts and could access all passwords I have saved on the password app.
So, Let’s say my girlfriend knows my phone passcode, she pretty much then has access to all other password and backup codes I have saved on the password app.
For this security vulnerability I believe it would be beneficial to introduce more advanced security options for accessing the Password section on iPhone.
Specifically,
1. The ability to require Face ID only, without fallback to device passcode.
2. An option to set a dedicated password just for accessing the Passwords section (separate from the phone passcode).
3. Additional optional layers of protection, such as two-factor authentication or a biometric lock, that would prevent access even if someone knows the device passcode.
These features would provide an extra level of security for users who are concerned about unauthorized access if someone gains access to their phone passcode.

Dear Apple Support Team,
I am writing to request clarification regarding paid service eligibility for my iPhone 14 Pro outside its original country of purchase.
Here are the details of my device:
Model: iPhone 14 Pro
Serial Number: J346337TKY
Purchase Date: December 2022
Current Location: Astana, Kazakhstan
Warranty Status: Expired
I recently visited an Apple Authorized Service Provider in Kazakhstan, and I was informed that my device could not be accepted for repair due to regional restrictions, even on a paid basis.
I would appreciate your assistance in confirming whether my device qualifies for paid repair service in Kazakhstan, or if it is strictly limited to service in its country of origin. If not eligible, could you please advise on the nearest country or region where I can receive authorized service?
Looking forward to your guidance on the next steps.
Best regards,
Ruslan D

I have a question about the operating procedure of the iPhone defaulting into satellite service. Post major storm we noticed that my phones would not allow us to connect to the satellite backup communication because the iPhone was still getting intermittent cell service even though the service that they were receiving via tower signal was that of the tower that had no connectivity (the individual cell tower may have been producing cell SIGNAL, but their ability to transfer data threw microwave or landline was terminated ). Previously, I asked if they could find a fix so that even if the phone is receiving what it is some or very little signal, you could opted to defer to settle in a situation such as this.
When left in it’s current programming the phone will not make contact with either communication source leading it to be useless.
