With Christmas now just days away, its about time to wrap up the holiday shopping season. Everyone is in the midst of hurrying to get their last minute gifts sorted. If you havent found something for someone special quite yet, heres some iPhone-centric accessories and Apple gift ideas.My recommendations are the Mujjo iPhone 16 leather case, SwitchBot Wallet Finder card, Belkin portable phone charger, a Continuity Camera mount, and the Apple TV 4K. More details about these picks after the break The go-to iPhone gift idea is probably AirPods, and I expect AirPods 4 to fly off the shelves this holiday season. But AirPods are on the expensive side, and a lot of people already have them, so they are hard to suggest as gifts without qualifiers. The below list of five are trying to pick things that your friends and family may not already have, but will enjoy and find value in. Frivolous and throwaway gifts make for fun stocking fillers, but when it comes to tech, I think you want to gift something that people will be inclined to use on the regular.SwitchBot Wallet Finder cardIf you know someone who is prone to misplacing their wallet, then the SwitchBot Wallet Finder is an inexpensive gift idea with a lot of utility. The Wallet Finder integrates natively with the Apple Find My app, so you can track it from any iOS device and even ask Siri. The Wallet Finder form factor is a slim credit card shape, so it can be slipped into a pocket in your wallet without adding bulk. Then, you can make your wallet beep on command or track its location on a map and this is a gift with no strings attached as no ongoing subscription or additional purchase is required, as it all just works through the Apple Find My network. Nearby iPhones pick up the Bluetooth beacon from the Wallet Finder, securely and anonymously tracking its location on your behalf.Other options:Apple AirTag: best for keeping tabs on your keys, but additional accessory holder requiredChipolo ONE: like an AirTag, but features an integrated hole to attach directly onto a keychainMujjo iPhone 16 caseDo you know if a friend or relative has just got a shiny new iPhone 16? Maybe theyd like to protect it with stylish flair. Apple has stopped making its own leather cases, but the third-party market fills the gap. I really like the Mujjo leather case options. They are very reminiscent of Apples case design and feature minimal branding. The Mujjo Monaco Blue color, in particular, adds a splash of color to any Pro model iPhone. Featuring full-grain leather and microfiber internal lining, the case feels great in the hand, and offers your phone some additional protection from daily bumps and dings.Other options:Mujjo iPhone 16 case with Card Holder: same aesthetics, additional functionality with included pouch for credit cardsOtterbox Cactus Leather Case for iPhone 16: alternative option with leather substitute material Belkin Portable Charger, USB-C Power BankI like getting gifts that I know people will actually use. If the person in mind has an older iPhone, they are probably never too far from a plug. A portable charger helps reduce that anxiety and makes keeping an older iPhone running for longer much more enjoyable. Theres a bevy of portable phone chargers on the market of course. I like this Belkin USB-C Power Bank, with a slim design that holds enough juice to charge my phone from zero three times over. It was an essential must-have when I went camping at Silverstone this year. Its small enough to slip into purses or jacket pockets, and features both USB-C and USB-A ports, and you can even charge multiple devices at once at up to 15W speeds.Other options:Belkin 10,000 mAH Power Bank: similar design but with slightly battery capacityAnker MagGo: portable charger that sticks directly onto the back of your iPhone with MagSafeBelkin Continuity Camera mountEveryone is doing FaceTime and Zoom calls these days, and your phone has a much better camera than your laptop. This Belkin Camera Mount lets you clip your phone over the top of your laptops screen, allowing you to use your iPhones camera as if it was your MacBook webcam. The capability is enabled using the Continuity Camera feature of Apples ecosystem, so make sure your friend has a MacBook as well as a MagSafe-compatible iPhone to take advantage of this little clip.You can also get a mount meant to position your phone underneath a television, perfect for enabling family FaceTime calls through Apple TV.Other options:Belkin Continuity Camera mount for desktops and displaysBelkin iPhone Mount for Apple TV 4K: designed for placing the phone on top of your living room TV Cooper Chat Stand: a vertical phone stand that can position your front-facing camera at any angleApple TV 4KThis is the more spendy gift idea of the bunch probably more suited for close friends or family. A streaming set-top box is something people dont know they need until they have one, and informed friends shouldnt let their friends endure the suffering of smart TV operating systems.It also features full support for 4K HDR with Dolby Vision, making your TV shows and movies look breathtaking on modern OLED TVs.The Apple TV 4K makes using all your streaming apps a breeze, with fast loading and smooth navigation using the trackpad on the Siri Remote. Youll also love Apple ecosystem benefits like browsing your iCloud Photos library on a huge screen, using your phone as the remote control, a rich Apple Music experience with sing-along lyrics, run Fitness+ workouts, and maybe even play some family-friendly Apple Arcade party games this holiday season. Other options:Google TV Streamer 4K: a nice streaming box alternative, with rich universal searchAmazon Fire Stick 4K: cheaper streaming stick, albeit riddled with ads and a bit sluggish at timesAdd 9to5Mac to your Google News feed.

Thanks to a usually-reliable tip off from iPhoneSoft, we may already know device compatibility for Apples next major operating system updates coming next year.The report says that every iPhone model that currently supports iOS 18 will also support iOS 19, although like every year, some features may be limited to newer phones. Nevertheless, that means another year of support for iPhones as old as the iPhone XS and XR, first released in 2018.However, some iPad models will be cutoff from updating to iPadOS 19.The A10 powered iPad (7th generation, released 2019) will apparently not be able to update to iPadOS 19, nor will the second-generation iPad Pro (released 2017). This will bring the minimum processor spec for iPadOS up to the A12 chip. Apart from those exceptions, all other iPad owners can breathe a sign of relief as they will seemingly be getting another full year of free iPad software updates with new features.iOS 19 and iPadOS 19 are expected to be previewed in developer starting in June 2025, with a public release around September 2025. They will therefore remain current until September 2026.It isnt clear yet what features iOS 19 will include. Bloombergs Mark Gurman has already suggested that prolonged work on iOS 18 features has delayed the iOS 19 schedule somewhat. iPhoneSoft indicates iOS 19 may be a smaller update in terms of major new features, too.There is also the question of ongoing Apple Intelligence updates. If many of the new features in the new OS will require Apple Intelligence, then the effective supported hardware cutoff is much more recent. It may even seem premature to be thinking about iOS 19 when several high-profile features promised for iOS 18 are yet to ship, or even appear in the developer beta channel. That includes AI features like Priority Notifications on the lock screen, App Intents powered in-app actions, personal context understanding and on-screen awareness for Siri.Add 9to5Mac to your Google News feed.

This innovative approach allows users to retain control while maintaining a robust security posture.Whats New in Privileges 2?SAP has considered user feedback and practical use cases to introduce several critical enhancements in Privileges 2. Here are the highlights:Unified expiration intervals: Admin access now expires consistently, regardless of whether it is requested through the app, Dock Tile, orcommand-line tool. This ensures seamless alignment with organizational policies.Touch ID integration: The command-line tool now supports Touch ID, offering a faster, more convenient way to authenticate, even in environmentswith complex password requirements.Auto-revoke admin rights at login: Users can configure Privileges to automatically revoke elevated access upon login, ensuring that all sessionsstart in standard-user mode for maximum security.Custom workflows: Privileges 2 allows IT teams to trigger applications or scripts whenever admin privileges are granted or revoked, enablingcustomized workflows that adapt to specific environments.Localization: With support for 40 languages, Privileges 2 is now even more accessible to users worldwide.Why Privileges is an excellent app for fleetsRunning macOS as a standard user is widely recognized as a security best practice. It reduces exposure to malware, unauthorized changes, and other vulnerabilities arising from unnecessary administrative access. Privileges make it easy for users to adopt this approach without sacrificing productivity. Whether youre a developer who occasionally needs admin access or an organization focused on securing endpoints, Privileges offers the tools to meet your needs.The latest features in Privileges 2, such as Touch ID integration and automated revocation, take security and flexibility to the next level. These enhancements demonstrate SAPs commitment to building solutions that prioritize user convenience without compromising security. The fact that theyve open-sourced this app shows their commitment to helping the entire Mac Admins community.Supported macOS versionsPrivileges 2 is compatible with a wide range of macOS versions, ensuring support for users across different environments:macOS 15.xmacOS 14.xmacOS 13.xmacOS 12.xmacOS 11.xKey features at a glancePrivileges 2 continues delivering the essential functionality users expect while introducing new features to enhance usability and security.

Published December 21, 2024 6:00am EST close AI cameras are giving DC's air defense a major upgrade More than 20 years later, the system is getting a makeover. After 9/11, Washington, D.C.'s airspace got a significant security boost.Now, over two decades later, this system is getting a cutting-edge makeover.The National Capital Region (NCR) is rolling out an advanced artificial intelligence-based visual recognition system that's taking air defense to a whole new level. Advanced artificial intelligence-based visual recognition system. (Katie Lange/DOD)The new eyes in the skyThe Enhanced Regional Situational Awareness (ERSA) system represents a dramatic upgrade from previous security technologies. These new cameras are giving air defense operators unprecedented capabilities in monitoring and protecting critical airspace. They come with some seriously cool features that take air defense to the next level.WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?The cameras boast infrared vision with RGB filters for heat signature detection, allowing operators to spot targets even in low visibility conditions. A laser range finder provides accurate distance and altitude measurements, enhancing the system's precision. Machine learning elements enable enhanced auto-tracking capabilities, making it easier to follow objects of interest. Additionally, a visual warning system is in place to alert non-compliant aircraft, using red and green lasers to illuminate cockpits and prompt immediate action from pilots. Advanced artificial intelligence-based visual recognition system. (Katie Lange/DOD)The brains behind the operationThe Eastern Air Defense Sector (EADS) in Rome, New York, works in close coordination with the Joint Air Defense Operations Center (JADOC) at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling to manage the ERSA system. This integrated approach ensures comprehensive surveillance and rapid response to potential threats. Air Force Master Sgt. Kendrick Wilburn, a capabilities and requirements officer at JADOC, explains that the system allows for more precise radar data validation. When uncertain radar data is detected, operators can use the cameras as an additional resource to confirm and assess the situation. This collaborative effort between EADS and JADOC enables swift decision-making and effective threat mitigation.GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HERE Teleidoscope team with upgraded electro-optical/infrared cameras in 2021. (Defense Innovation Unit)Technological innovationThe ERSA system, developed by Teleidoscope, underwent rigorous testing in 2022, with air defense operators evaluating prototypes from three companies. Teleidoscope's cameras stood out due to their advanced software enhancements and significant improvements over existing systems. The Defense Innovation Unit played a crucial role in securing funding through the Air Force's Accelerate the Procurement and Fielding of Innovative Technologies (APFIT) program, demonstrating a commitment to rapidly deploying cutting-edge defense technology. Marine Corps Maj. Nicholas Ksiazek of the Defense Innovation Unit likened the upgrade to "the technological leap we saw between a 2011 iPhone and a current one," highlighting the substantial advancements in capability. Currently, two operational cameras have been installed, with plans to add seven more annually, ensuring continuous improvement of the NCR's air defense capabilities.Kurt's key takeawaysThe rollout of the ERSA system marks a significant step forward in air defense for the National Capital Region. With AI-powered cameras that enhance detection and tracking capabilities, operators are equipped to respond to potential threats more effectively than ever before.

Alex Murdaugh sits in the Colleton County Courthouse in Walterboro, South Carolina.TNSIn the ongoing legal battle surrounding Alex Murdaugh, the role of smartphone evidence and digital forensics has once again taken center stage. On Dec. 10, Richard Harpootlian and James Griffin, Murdaughs attorneys, submitted a 132-page appeal to the South Carolina Supreme Court, seeking to overturn his double murder convictions. Central to the defenses challenge in Murdaughs appeal is the testimony of cellphone forensic expert Paul McManigal, whose analysis of phone light activity is pivotal to the states timeline of events.Maggies Phone: The Prosecutions Backlight TheoryThe prosecution's narrative, built on the testimony of digital forensics expert McManigal, paints a compelling picture of the final moments surrounding Maggie Murdaugh's death.According to the prosecution's theory, the backlight activation at 8:53:08 PM, followed by the orientation change and step count, suggests a deliberate interaction with Maggie's phone after her death. The prosecution argues that this interaction aligns with Alex Murdaugh's movements. The timing of the backlight turning off, coinciding with Murdaugh's SUV passing the location where the phone was later found, is particularly damning in their view. According to the prosecution, it suggests a hurried attempt to dispose of evidence, with Murdaugh potentially tossing the phone from his vehicle.However, as any seasoned digital forensics expert knows, data rarely tells a straightforward story. The defense could argue that these phone interactions could be explained by automated processes or even by Maggie herself in her final moments. The challenge lies in distinguishing between human-initiated and system-generated activities, a nuance that often gets lost in the courtroom drama.Murdaughs Defense Challenges the EvidenceDigital forensic experts typically rely on a combination of digital forensic tools, testing, and contextual information to make these distinctions. Forensic tools can recover data from smartphones that detect changes in a phones orientation, screen activation and proximity to other devices, all of which can contribute to understanding whether an action was deliberate, incidental or automated. These data points are critical in reconstructing a timeline of events, particularly in cases where physical witnesses or traditional evidence may be limited.MORE FOR YOUIn the appeal, Murdaughs defense team has questioned both the technical basis and interpretive framework of McManigals testimony. They argue that while the data may show phone activity, it is unclear whether the light emissions were triggered by human interaction or automatic processes. This distinction is critical, as the state has used McManigals findings to suggest that Murdaughs handling of the phones contradicts his alibi,Understanding the Murdaugh Phone Light EvidenceDigital forensics experts like McManigal often analyze forensic artifacts extracted from smartphones to infer user behavior. For example, a phones screen light may activate due to direct user interaction, such as unlocking the device or tapping the screen. Alternatively, light activation can occur automaticallytriggered by notifications, incoming calls, or system processes. Distinguishing between user-initiated and automated activity is the key challenge in analyzing this data.McManigal played a crucial role in the investigation by conducting tests on an iPhone model similar to Maggie Murdaugh's. His analysis focused on:Backlight operation patterns.Correlation between phone movement and screen activation.However, McManigal's methodology has come under scrutiny for the following reasons, according to the defense:Lack of documentation: The tests were performed in his office without proper note-taking or measurement recording.Absence of peer review: The experiments were conducted in isolation, without oversight or peer review.Scientific rigor questioned: The defense team has challenged the validity of his findings, citing the absence of standardized procedures and documentation.Murdaugh Appeal: Fairness and Procedural BiasThe scrutiny surrounding McManigals testimony comes amid broader allegations of procedural bias in Murdaughs original trial. In their appeal, Murdaughs legal team has accused court clerk Rebecca Hill of improperly influencing jurors, raising significant concerns about jury impartiality. These allegations, combined with the questions surrounding the phone evidence, underscore the importance of rigorous standards in the handling and presentation of evidence.As the South Carolina Supreme Court considers the appeal, and whether the evidence ultimately holds up or falters, the Murdaugh case and appeal are a stark reminder of the need for precision and impartiality in forensic investigations, particularly as digital evidence plays an increasingly central role in the legal system.This case also underscores the need for attorneys to be well-versed in the basics of digital forensics. Understanding how devices log activity, what processes can trigger certain data points, and the potential for alternative interpretations can be critical in effectively challenging or defending digital evidence in court.Even if Alex Murdaugh were to win an appeal or have his conviction for the murders of his wife and son overturned, he would still remain in prison due to his prior convictions for extensive financial crimes. In 2022, Murdaugh admitted to embezzling millions of dollars from clients and his former law firm over the span of years. He has already been sentenced to serve decades in prison for these crimes.
