Apple Pushes First MagSafe 3 Cable Firmware Update Since 2023

Apple has released firmware version 3.2.0 for its USB-C to MagSafe 3 charging cable, marking the first update for the accessory since February 2023. The update, which replaces version 3.1.12, installs automatically when the cable is connected to a Mac and a power adapter. Apple has not published release notes, so the specific changes remain unknown, and users cannot manually trigger the update or view the firmware version in macOS System Information.

Is Upgrading to iPhone 18 Pro Worth It from the 14 Pro?

MacRumors compares the iPhone 18 Pro with the iPhone 14 Pro, highlighting four generations of changes that include a new A20 Pro chip, USB-C, a variable-aperture main camera, higher-end video features (ProRes/Genlock), longer battery life, and a refined aluminum design. Starting prices rise ($1,199 for 256GB and $1,299 for Pro Max), with the 14 Pro still capable if it meets daily needs. The upgrade is most compelling for battery life, faster wired charging, USB-C convenience, advanced cameras, and new AI/visual intelligence features, while iPhone 17 Pro remains a reasonable intermediate option for those not needing the latest improvements. Overall, 14 Pro owners who want the strongest upgrades will find value in moving to the 18 Pro, but some users may opt to skip or consider alternatives depending on priorities and budget.

The company is testing compatibility with new software and internal tests, aiming to have Pencil support ready by the end of 2026, though it’s unclear whether the issue lies with the Pencil hardware or the Duo’s charging/magnetic system.

iPhone 18 Pro Max Surges Ahead in Charging Speed

The iPhone 18 Pro Max charges from 0% to 100% in about 55 minutes with a capable 60W+ USB‑C charger, roughly 26 minutes faster than the iPhone 17 Pro Max; 50% in 15 minutes (vs. 20). Peak charging reached about 52W in the first 12 minutes. Apple notes the fastest speeds require a 60W+ Adjustable Voltage Supply (AVS), such as its 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max. Real‑world benefits depend on your charging habits (overnight vs. daytime top‑ups).

Bose QuietComfort Headphones 2nd Gen: refined comfort, smarter ANC, immersive audio
