iOS 14’s new call recording feature, which was spilled by a leaked screenshot earlier this week, was designed for internal debugging and will not be made available to the public, according to a new report.

Many immediately questioned the authenticity of the screenshot, which reveals a new “Enable Audio Call Recording” toggle for iPhone, when it surfaced. It seems the image is genuine, but we shouldn’t get our hopes up for a new feature.

Apple reportedly will confirm the Mac’s transition to ARM chips during its Worldwide Developers Conference keynote on June 22.

The company has been using Intel processors inside the Mac since it ditched PowerPC chips in 2006. But speculation regarding a move to custom CPUs has been growing as Apple’s own chips have become incredibly powerful.

We may not see an ARM-powered Mac this year, however. Sources say Apple plans to announce the initiative, code-named Kalamata, at WWDC 2020. That would give developers time to adjust before the first ARM Macs arrive in 2021.
