Cupertino Lens
Your Apple news, briefed
Free
New in 3.1: your own Apple news briefing, written on device by Apple Intelligence. Follow topics, catch breaking news live, and read it all in English or Arabic.
Cupertino Lens brings personal Apple briefings, a customizable news dashboard, and independent essays together in an app made for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.
LENS BRIEFING
Turn the latest Apple coverage into a clear overview, with related stories grouped together and links to the original sources. Add stories to your next briefing and revisit earlier editions. Follow topics like Vision Pro or the App Store for a briefing of their own, or read several together.
POWERED BY APPLE INTELLIGENCE
Create personal briefings with Apple Intelligence on supported devices, using on-device models. Apple Intelligence must be enabled and its models available. Feature and language availability depend on your device and settings. An optional OpenRouter connection is available separately.
YOUR BRIEFING, YOUR RHYTHM
Read it as a top story, photo cards, or summaries, and switch right inside the briefing. Set your preferred briefing times, or use Smart Timing within the hours you choose. Shape how you catch up, from a quick scan to a closer look.
THE WIRE, YOUR WAY
Follow attributed headlines from Apple Newsroom and technology publications in one place. Choose your sources, reorder dashboard sections, and keep software releases and upcoming events in view. Swipe a story to save it or add it to your briefing, and follow breaking news in a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
ORIGINAL APPLE ESSAYS
Read independent analysis by Sami Fathi on Apple's design, software, products, and strategy. Save essays for later, adjust your reading preferences, and return to your place. Eligible downloaded essays remain available offline.
MADE FOR IPAD
Enjoy native navigation, a spacious Wire dashboard, and more room to read. Add inline notes and handwritten annotations to original essays, with Apple Pencil support on iPad.
ON APPLE WATCH
Read your latest briefing from iPhone on your wrist, even offline, and browse the stories behind it. Check the latest stories, save them on your Watch, open them on iPhone, and add Lens Briefing to your watch face.
