Macworld Apple’s list of currently available content for Apple TV+ continues to grow, and so does the list of upcoming projects in the works. Films, limited series, specials, and multi-season series—Apple’s got lots of irons in the fire. Some of these projects have been officially announced and acknowledged by Apple, while others have been reported by the Hollywood press, which always has its ear to the ground about what projects actors, directors, and producers are involved in. We’ve divided this list in two: Coming Soon is a list of shows for which Apple has given an official release date or release window, and Further Out compiles content that is still in production or perhaps haven’t even begun yet.

Macworld Welcome to our weekly Apple Breakfast column, which includes all the Apple news you missed last week in a handy bite-sized roundup. We call it Apple Breakfast because we think it goes great with a Monday morning cup of coffee or tea, but it’s cool if you want to give it a read during lunch or dinner hours too. Ask a Siri question It’s been a few weeks now since the excitement of the WWDC 2023 keynote presentation, and the triumphs and disappointments have had a chance to sink in. There was plenty of the former, but several of the latter, and the one that continues to sting–particularly when I have an especially bad week with the feature in…
Macworld Live Text was introduced as a new feature in macOS Monterey, and it allows you to use the text in an image. It’s a feature that’s quite helpful—for example, if you’ve ever been in a meeting or lecture, and snapped a picture of a whiteboard filled with written information, you can now select the text in the photo, copy it, and then paste it into a document. There are a lot of ways you can use the Live Text feature, and it’s a huge time-saving production tool. Live Text is also in iOS and iPadOS, and because you probably use the cameras on those devices often, you might use Live Text on your iPhone and iPad more than you would…

The assistant will even highlight apps you need to update and find and isolate malware and other problems that may be slowing down your Mac.…
Macworld The Mac’s cursor (Apple actually calls it a pointer) is designed with a white outline and black fill. It’s a good combination, making it easy to spot no matter what is on screen. But man, is it boring. In past versions of macOS, you can’t change the cursor color without using a third-party utility. That changed in macOS Monterey, though. You can easily change the colors of the cursor to something that is easier to catch with your eyes or just add some flair to reflect your personality. The video below shows how it’s done in macOS Monterey, but below that are instructions for both Monterey and macOS Ventura. At a glance Time to complete: 5 minutesTools required: macOS…
