If your Mac is saying the ChatGPT app is malware, here's how to fix it open_in_new

1 Apple Insider • 18h ago

There have been some incidents involving a Mac telling a user that the ChatGPT app is malware and moving it to the trash. Overall, ChatGPT isn't malware, and there's a very easy fix.

It's too late to just update ChatGPT, you now have to re-download it from the developer

This is not Apple making a judgement on the value of the ChatGPT app on the Mac, it's macOS doing its job. Since 2022, macOS has included Xprotect, a feature you never usually need to know about, but which safeguards the Mac against malware.

In this case, as reported by users worldwide on social media, Xprotect had concluded that the ChatGPT app contained malware. Therefore the whole app is suspect, therefore macOS moves it to the Trash and won't launch it.

App Store annual subscriptions get new discounted monthly option open_in_new

11 Apple Insider • 2w ago

If that one big sum per year for an annual app subscription is too much to pay at once, the App Store will let you break that into monthly payments.

Two iPhones display App Store subscription screens: the left shows details about subscription commitment and cancellation, while the right lists multiple active subscriptions with renewal dates and prices.

Apple is making it easier to get annual subscription discounts

Subscription revenue has become an integral part of Apple Services. Developers have a few ways to draw customers into long-term usage and bigger payouts, but they require big up-front financial commitments.

Apple has revealed a new payment option that could help developers offer better discounts while still getting a long-term commitment from the user. It works by offering the user an annual discount that is paid for over 12 months.

Apple's massive lobbying effort saves it from new App Store rules open_in_new

13 Apple Insider • 2w ago

Apple and Google have managed to defeat a California bill that would've forced them to stop favoring their own apps in digital storefronts like the App Store. All through the power of lobbying.

The tech giants are frequently the target of legislators and regulators, trying to prevent them from being too dominant. One recent attempt to curtail the influence of Apple and Google failed to become a problem because of a massive and successful lobbying operation.

Senator Scott Wiener (D-CA) sponsored "Based Act," a bill to prevent tech companies from favoring their own apps and services when providing users with apps in the App Store and the Google Play Store, reports Bloomberg. The intention was to allow other apps to become more visible, instead of the platform owner's own services.

Microsoft's Russinovich and Hanselman Warn AI Is Hollowing Out the Junior Developer Pipeline open_in_new

15 InfoQ AI/ML • 2w ago

Microsoft's Russinovich and Hanselman argue in a CACM paper that agentic AI creates an "AI drag" on junior developers while boosting seniors, incentivizing companies to stop hiring entry-level engineers. Entry-level hiring is down 67% since 2022. They propose a preceptor model borrowed from medical education to preserve the talent pipeline.

Unbelievable that iOS 26 still limits the sleep alarm when Apple Watch is used. The message: When you wear Apple Watch to bed, the alarm will go off on your watch. And only your watch! No option to include phone or just do to phone. Even worse, watch doesn’t always go off! Apple fail. 👎
