Apple Devices Losing Support This Year

Been holding on to that old iPhone, iPad, or Mac for a few years now? 2025 might be the year to upgrade. This year, Apple will stop releasing software updates for some older models. If you rely on any models losing support this year, you’ll face higher security risks when Apple stops releasing vital security patches for your device.

Consider upgrading to a newer model this year to continue receiving support to keep your data secure. Favarger Consulting’s team of certified Apple IT service consultants can help your office transition to newer, more secure equipment in no time. Get in touch with us today to keep your Apple devices and systems secure.


Apple Intelligence Now Enabled by Default

Starting with iOS 18.3, MacOS Sequoia 15.3, and iPadOS 18.3, Apple Intelligence will be automatically enabled on compatible devices. This is a change from the last two MacOS and iOS updates where Apple Intelligence was an opt-in feature that was disabled unless users toggled it on manually in their device settings. Users still have the option to turn off Apple Intelligence features after the software update is complete.

Not looking forward to Apple Intelligence on your device? No problem. You can manually turn off the new AI features after the software update is complete. Just navigate to the “Apple Intelligence and Siri” section in the Settings App to turn off Apple Intelligence on your iPhone.
