Social & App Store Shifts Instagram now permits users to manually reorder their profile grid, a feature long demanded by creators seeking a curated aesthetic. At the same time, Apple’s iOS 27 code hints that Siri could surface break‑time prompts after unusually long conversations, a move aimed at reducing user fatigue.

Meanwhile, B&H has extended its $899 MacBook Air promotion for Apple Insider readers, though inventory remains constrained, highlighting continued consumer interest in Apple’s entry‑level laptops despite supply pressures.
