Amazon this week announced plans to acquire Globalstar, the satellite company that powers Apple's satellite features on the iPhone 14 and newer and the Apple Watch Ultra 3. In turn, Amazon announced that it has signed an agreement with Apple to provide satellite connectivity for current and future iPhone and Apple Watch features. The transaction, subject to regulatory approval, is expected to close in 2027. At that point, Apple's features will be powered by Amazon Leo satellites. Apple's current satellite features:Emergency SOS via satellite Find My via satellite Roadside Assistance via satellite Messages via satellite All of the features are currently free to use in supported areas without Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity. Availability varies by country. There were already five more iPhone satellite features or enhancements rumored to be in the works, even before Amazon announced this deal with Apple. At least some of the improvements may be part of iOS 27, which is expected to be available in beta starting in June and widely released in September this year. Those enhancements are as follows:5G via satellite (may be exclusive to iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max) Apple Maps via satellite Photos support for Messages via satellite Third-party apps in the App Store will be able to integrate Apple's satellite features The ability to connect an iPhone to a satellite without pointing the device toward the skyAmazon's announcement mentioned future features, too, so Apple's suite of satellite functions should expand even more over the coming years.Related Roundup: iOS 27Tag: iPhone Satellite FeaturesThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums06:30 pmApple TV series ‘Margo’s Got Money Troubles’ is ‘a wonderful show that’s as charming as it is rewarding to watch’ – Slate | Mac Daily NewsApple TV series ‘Margo’s Got Money Troubles’ is ‘a wonderful show that’s as charming as it is rewarding to watch’ – Slate

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we talk through Apple's upcoming overhaul of the iPad mini and iPad Air, looking at the future of the product lineup as a whole. Subscribe to The MacRumors Show YouTube channel for more videos The headline upgrade for the iPad mini 8 is a switch from LCD to OLED display technology. The device is expected to use a single-stack LTPS panel, which is dimmer than the tandem OLED in the iPad Pro, but a substantial step up from the current display. The screen will also likely grow from 8.3 to 8.7 inches, and ProMotion is a possibility. On the chip, sources disagree. Code Apple accidentally published in August pointed to the A19 Pro, but other evidence suggests the device will use the unreleased A20 Pro chip instead. The N1 and C1X chips are also highly likely to be present. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported that Apple is also working on a more water-resistant design, which would make new the iPad mini the first to carry an official IP rating. Apple is said to have developed a vibration-based speaker system that eliminates traditional speaker holes, removing a primary path for water ingress. The scale of the upgrades strongly suggests a redesigned, thinner chassis to accommodate them. Gurman says the upgrades could push the price up by as much as $100 to around $599. The leaker known as "Instant Digital" has said the device will launch in the second half of 2026 at the earliest. Apple is also expected to update the iPad Air in early 2027, with the headline change similarly being a switch to OLED. Like the iPad mini 8, the next-generation iPad Air is expected to use a single-stack LTPS panel supplied by Samsung, keeiping costs down relative to the tandem OLED in the iPad Pro. Arriving over six years after the device's last redesign, it is also likely to feature a new design similar to the iPad mini, along with the M5 chip. The next iPad Pro is expected in spring 2027, with an M6 chip and a vapor chamber cooling system similar to the one Apple introduced in the iPhone 17 Pro, but no design changes are rumored. With the iPad Air set to close the gap significantly by adopting OLED and a thinner design, the Pro's key differentiators will narrow considerably. A more transformative reason to choose the Pro may not arrive until Apple launches its long-rumored foldable iPad, which Gurman says will feature an 18-inch display. The device has faced development hurdles around weight and display technology and is now expected no earlier than 2029, with a price potentially reaching $3,900, up to three times the cost of the current 13-inch iPad Pro.

Apple is expected to unveil iOS 27 during its WWDC 2026 keynote on June 8, and the update should be released in September. Below, we outline some of the new features that are rumored to be coming with iOS 27, beyond the long-awaited more personalized version of Siri. iOS 27 will reportedly support 5G satellite internet connectivity, although this functionality might be limited to the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models with Apple's next-generation C2 modem. Additional satellite features have been rumored, including Apple Maps via satellite and the ability to send and receive photos when using Messages via satellite. iOS 27 may be similar to Mac OS X Snow Leopard, in the sense that Apple is apparently focused on improving "quality and underlying performance." Apple is expected to focus on bug fixes, improved stability, and Liquid Glass design enhancements. Apple has reportedly tested an updated iPhone keyboard with enhanced autocorrect. The features should debut on iOS 27 if Apple moves forward with it. Similar to Grammarly, the keyboard "expands autocorrect by offering alternative words." iOS 27 is not expected to include any major Liquid Glass design changes, but the update may add a system-wide Liquid Glass slider for precisely adjusting the opacity of the interface. A similar slider already exists for the Lock Screen's clock. The update may include four new Apple Intelligence features for the iPhone 15 Pro and newer, based on code on Apple's servers discovered by Nicolás Alvarez:Visual Intelligence will let you scan nutrition labels on food packaging, for tracking calories and macronutrients in the Health app. Visual Intelligence will let you scan phone numbers and addresses printed on paper or a business card and add them to the Contacts app. In the Wallet app, you will likely be able to scan physical event tickets, gym membership cards, and so forth and generate digital versions. In the Safari app, you will be able to automatically name Tab Groups for users based on the contents of the tabs within the group.Of course, these are only the features that are known or rumored so far. More details about iOS 27 will likely leak over the coming months.Related Roundup: iOS 27Tags: Apple Intelligence, SiriThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums03:37 pmApple Store Becomes Backdrop for Honor's Brazen Hong Kong Ad Stunt
Photos have been making the rounds on Chinese social media today showing an Honor-branded advertising truck parked directly in front of Apple Canton Road store in Hong Kong, promoting the company's new Honor 600 series smartphone. The truck's ad features the slogan "It's our HONOR" alongside the phrase "orange to orange," which appears to be a play on the English idiom "apples to apples" – referring to a like-for-like comparison. The slogan is paired with an image of the Honor phone, in a finish that bears more than a passing resemblance to the iPhone 17 Pro's Cosmic Orange. It's a brazen stunt for a brand that spun off from Huawei in 2020 before being sold off to another entity to bypass U.S. sanctions. Using Apple's retail store as a backdrop to pitch your rival device with a similar color is one thing, but when the design is arguably a shameless copy, you're definitely out of ideas. Apple is unlikely to make a big stink about such guerrilla marketing, as it would only amplify it. And as they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.Tag: Apple StoreThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums03:32 pmFar more Android users jump to iPhone than vice versa

China's smartphone shipments fell 4% year over year in the first quarter of 2026, according to data from Counterpoint Research, with Apple delivering the strongest growth among the top six brands. Counterpoint's Market Monitor Tracker attributed the decline primarily to a high base effect from last year's government subsidy program and rising component costs. Counterpoint noted that February's Lunar New Year promotions provided a slight boost, but said the "magnitude of these discounts was hampered by a sharp increase in memory costs." Rising costs are already driving up retail prices on both new and used devices, and the pressure is expected to continue through the second quarter. Apple rose to second place in the market with shipments up 20% year over year, driven by strong iPhone 17 series demand, promotional price cuts, and government subsidies. Counterpoint says Apple is best positioned among manufacturers to navigate the ongoing global memory crunch, supported by its premium product portfolio and supply chain management. The firm expects Apple to absorb rising costs internally in the near-to-medium term and expand its market share as a result. The first quarter result extends a strong run for Apple in China; the company reclaimed the top spot in the country in the fourth quarter of 2025 with shipments up 28% year over year, and recorded a 23% sales increase in the first nine weeks of 2026. Huawei led with a 20% market share, its highest since the fourth quarter of 2020, with shipments up 2% year over year, aided by domestic supplier relationships that cushion the impact of rising memory costs. OPPO ranked third following the reintegration of realme, with OnePlus rising 53% year over year on the Ace 6 and Turbo 6 series, though OPPO's decision to raise prices on older models in March has weighed on demand. vivo grew 2% year over year on mid-to-low-end strength, while Xiaomi was the sharpest decliner, falling 35% year over year as its core models underperformed the previous generation. Counterpoint warned that manufacturers broadly face a "double hit" of shrinking shipments and thinning margins, and forecast that China smartphone shipments will decline 9% for the full year. Apple, by contrast, is expected to use the cost pressure to its advantage, absorbing memory price increases internally while rivals are forced to raise prices and cede ground.Tags: China, CounterpointThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums03:01 pmMichelle Monaghan to join the cast of Apple TV’s ‘Your Friends & Neighbors’

Apple plans to release iPad mini and MacBook Pro models with OLED displays this year, according to industry sources who spoke to South Korea's ETNews. The current iPad mini and MacBook Pro models have LCD displays with either LED or mini-LED backlighting. The move to OLED technology would result in improved image quality, thanks to richer colors and higher contrast ratio with true blacks. Samsung will supply the OLED displays for both devices, the report said. All of the iPhone, Apple Watch, and iPad Pro models that Apple sells today are already equipped with OLED displays, excluding refurbished models. Other new features rumored for the next iPad mini include an A19 Pro or an A20 Pro chip, a vibration-based speaker system, and a water-resistant design. Apple will likely announce the device in September or October this year. For the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro, other new features rumored include M6 Pro and M6 Max chips, a touch screen, a Dynamic Island, and a thinner design. Apple reportedly plans to release the laptops towards the end of 2026, although there is a chance that the launch will not happen until early 2027. The report said the iPad Air will also receive an OLED display next year.Related Roundups: iPad mini, MacBook ProTags: ETNews, OLEDBuyer's Guide: iPad Mini (Caution), MacBook Pro (Buy Now)Related Forums: iPad, MacBook ProThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums02:42 pm∞ The Dalrymple Report: AI everything

Macworld At a glanceExpert's Rating Pros Compact, portable design Strong sound, with firm bass Wireless charging dock included Supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and AirPlay 2 Cons No mains adaptor included Wired input requires optional adaptor Weighs 1.3kg Our Verdict There are cheaper Bluetooth speakers available, but the use of Wi-Fi and AirPlay makes the Sonos Play a great choice for Apple users, frequent travellers, and those who want Wi-Fi music at home. Few portable speakers sound this good, combining power, detail and a strong bass sound, while still being able to fit into a backpack. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Price When Reviewed$299 Best Prices Today: Sonos Play Retailer Price $299 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket Who is the Sonos Play for? Apple users who care about sound quality and want the flexibility of AirPlay at home, while still being able to stream from other devices and apps. It’s also a good fit if you want a single speaker that works both indoors and outdoors. However, it comes at a premium price. We really liked the compact Sonos Roam speaker – and its Roam 2 update last year – which provides impressive sound quality for a highly compact speaker that can easily be carried around in a backpack or travelling bag. Sonos also makes a larger battery-powered speaker called the Move 2, but that’s too big and heavy to carry around in a backpack and is more likely to stay at home most of the time. However, the company has now released a third portable speaker, called the Sonos Play, which sits right between the Roam and Move. Priced at $299/£299 and available in black or white, the new Sonos Play aims to offer the best of both worlds, combining the more powerful sound and longer battery life of the Move 2 with a portable design that is still small and light enough to carry around when you’re travelling. Sonos fans will also notice that it revives the name of the original Play range of speakers, which gave the company its big breakthrough 15 years ago. That’s clearly an attempt to put its recent problems behind it and get the company back on track following the widely criticised update to the Sonos app back in 2024. The Play is twice the size of the Sonos Roam, but provides more power, deeper bass and longer battery life. Sonos Inc. How portable is the Sonos Play? The design of the new Play is fairly innocuous, simply consisting of an upright slab of plastic and metal, but it gets all the basics right. It’s about twice the size of the Roam, standing 192mm high, 112mm wide and 77mm deep, but you can still slip it into a bag when you’re out and about. It’s a little heavier than it looks, weighing in at 1.3kg – slightly heavier than the new MacBook Neo at 1.23kg – so you’ll notice the weight when you’re carrying it around. What’s inside the Sonos Play? It packs a lot into that compact design, though, with a large central woofer to handle the mid-range and bass, and two high-frequency tweeters that are angled out to the sides to create a greater sense of space. There are also two bass radiators on the sides of the speaker that help to enhance the bass, and a larger battery that lasts for 24 hours on a full charge, compared to 10 hours for the smaller Roam. The battery is replaceable too, with a battery kit costing $69/£49. There’s also a built-in microphone for using the Sonos Voice assistant – although you can turn off the mic using a switch on the back of the speaker if you prefer. There’s a lot packed into the compact Play speaker, including a woofer, two tweeters, and two radiators to boost the bass sound. Sonos Inc. How portable and durable is the Sonos Play? The Play boasts a rugged IP67 rating for water and dust-resistance, so it’ll be able to survive a beach holiday or a muddy music festival, and there’s a small strap on the back of the speaker so that you can just grab it and go whenever you want. We were pleased to find that the Play includes a wireless charging dock in the box, whereas the charging dock for the Roam is an optional extra that costs $49/£49. However, the charging dock only comes with a USB-C cable, with no mains adaptor included, so you’ll need to supply that yourself or buy the official Sonos power adaptor for $29/£29. I was able to use the Play’s charging dock with the mains adaptor that came with my HomePod Mini, although the mains adaptor for my Sonos Roam didn’t seem to be powerful enough for the Play. How does the Sonos Play connect? Like most Sonos speakers, the Play turns its back on wired connections, although it is possible to buy an optional 3.5mm adaptor for $19/£19. However, the Play does well with its wireless audio features, supporting both Bluetooth (5.3) and dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz and 5.0GHz) with support for AirPlay 2 for Apple devices. For more AirPlay speakers see: Best AirPlay speakers for iPhones and Apple Music. Is the Sonos app still a problem? The AirPlay support means that Apple users weren’t too badly affected by the botched update to the Sonos app, since AirPlay allows Apple devices to directly control Sonos speakers without really needing to use the app very often. The app still seems a little awkward though – it seemed to get confused when I had both the Play and my own Roam speaker connected to the app, and it was actually easier to switch between the two speakers, or even to use them together for multi-room music, by using the AirPlay controls on my iPad. There’s a carrying strap on the back of the Play, along with a USB-C charging port and a Mute switch for the internal microphone. Sonos Inc. What’s the sound quality like? The app still needs a little work then, but I can’t criticise the sound quality of the new Play. Compact portable speakers often suffer from weak bass, but the first thing I notice as I fire up Bad Guy by Billlie Eilish on Apple Music is the bouncing electronic bass that gets you dancing straight away. The Sonos Play has a deeper, more full-bodied bass sound than the smaller Sonos Roam, and it’s quite a bit louder too, so it’ll be a good option for listening to dance music when you’re on holiday or at a music festival with friends. There’s also a nice rumbling sound to the slinky bass guitar riff on Leonard Cohen’s You Want It Darker, and the Sonos Play really captures the gritty, gravelly sound of Cohen’s own voice as well. The bass isn’t overwhelming though, and the Play can pick out lighter details, such as the sharp tap on the snare and the smooth, multi-layered harmonies on the chorus. Switching to something more delicate, the Play works wonderfully well with the strings on Max Richter’s On The Nature Of Daylight (check it out at the end of The Last Of Us, episode 3, but grab some tissues first). It captures the bittersweet tone of the violins and violas as they weave around each other, while still finding room for the deeper tone of the melancholy cello that underpins the piece. Should you buy the Sonos Play? If you just want a portable Bluetooth speaker for outdoor use then you may not need the additional Wi-Fi and AirPlay features provided by the Sonos Play. However, AirPlay is a real bonus for Apple users when you’re at home, and the excellent sound quality and sturdy IP67 rating make the new Sonos Play a great option for listening to music both indoors and outdoors.01:46 pmiOS 27 rumored to bring new design changes in two key areas

Stan Ng, Apple's vice president of product marketing for Apple Watch, AirPods, Health, and Home, has retired after 31 years at the company (via Bloomberg). Ng publicly announced his departure on LinkedIn on Thursday, sharing an image of the sunrise at Apple Park. "After 31 years at Apple, today was my last day," he wrote. "It was a joy to work at Apple and I truly loved what I did." Apple's latest stock vesting date took place on Wednesday, and many employees who retire or leave tend to do so around that time. Ng joined Apple in 1995 as a senior systems engineer, before Steve Jobs had returned to the company. He later moved into product roles for the Mac before becoming one of the key marketing executives behind the original iPod. He also appeared in product launch videos, including the iPod touch reveal in 2007, and went on to oversee marketing for the iPhone and Apple Watch before Home initiatives were added to his remit in 2021. Within Apple's marketing organization, Ng reported to Bob Borchers, who oversees product marketing under senior vice president Greg Joswiak. Marketing leaders at Apple go beyond traditional marketing, with Apple's product marketing leaders playing an active role in shaping the products themselves. Erik Treski, Apple's worldwide product marketing executive for AirPods and Home, who was referenced in last month's AirPods Max update announcement, will assume part of Ng's responsibilities. It is not yet known how the rest of his responsibilities will be divided up. Ng's exit is the latest in a wave of senior departures that has accelerated in recent months. John Giannandrea, Apple's longtime artificial intelligence chief, was also reported to be leaving this week. Former COO Jeff Williams retired last year, design chief Alan Dye departed for Meta Platforms at the end of 2025, environment and government affairs head Lisa Jackson retired earlier this year, and general counsel Katherine Adams is set to leave later in 2026. Ng is also the third executive closely tied to Apple's health and fitness push to exit in quick succession. Williams had overseen those groups until his retirement, while Jay Blahnik, head of Fitness+, is departing following an investigation and lawsuit related to allegations about his behavior. Apple's health initiatives were recently brought under Eddy Cue as part of a broader organizational reshuffle following Williams' retirement.This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums12:02 pmPlugable 10-in-1 USB-C Hub review: Portable dock alternative with 2.5Gb Ethernet
Macworld At a glanceExpert's Rating Pros 10 ports in portable form 125W PD 3.1 to host laptop 8K/30Hz or 4K/144Hz video support 2.5Gb Ethernet Cons Slow card readers Our Verdict With 125W passthrough PD 3.1 power, 2.5Gb Ethernet, and 8K video, it’s closer in firepower to bigger, bulkier docking stations but in a far more portable and convenient slim form. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Price When Reviewed$74.95 Best Prices Today: Plugable 10-in-1 USB-C Hub (USBC-10IN1E) Retailer Price $74.95 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket Who is the Plugable 10-in-1 USB-C Hub for? This portable, high-power USB-C hub with near-dock capabilities is ideal for Mac users who want more power and faster Ethernet without a full dock. The key trade-offs are limited 10Gbps bandwidth and slower card readers. Unless you own the Mac Studio, there simply aren’t enough ports on your machine if you are building a pro system. The Mac Studio hosts 12 top-end ports including six Thunderbolt 5 (or four TB5 and two 10Gbps USB-C), two 5Gbps USB-A, super-fast 10Gb Ethernet, HDMI 2.1, card reader, and headphone jack. Compared, the 16-inch MacBook Pro comes with three Thunderbolt 5, card reader, HDMI 2.1, MagSafe 3 charging port and headphone jack. Use one of those Thunderbolt ports to add a USB-C/TB hub or docking station and many more ports can be at your disposal. We’ve tested the best USB-C hubs and best Thunderbolt docks. If you want the very top-end of the port brigade you must go full-in with a docking station, but these are rarely portable and often costs hundreds. The newly released Plugable 10-in-1 USB-C Hub (USBC-10IN1E) bucks that trend by putting 10 pro ports on a long, slim hub with built-in cable. Passthrough charging is impressive at 125W. The Ethernet port is rated at 2.5Gb rather than the standard Gigabit Ethernet found on every other network-ready hub. The HDMI port supports 8K on a connected display. Simon Jary Design: How portable is it compared to a dock? As a hub, the Plugable 10-in-1 is super portable, especially compared to larger docking stations that require their own bulky power supply. It’s long and slim, measuring just 8.5 x 1.3 x 0.6 inches (216 x 34 x 15mm) – about the same length as the side of a 14-inch MacBook – with a built-in 8-inch (203mm) cable. It weighs under 4oz (112g), and will slip easily into any backpack, tech organizer bag or desk drawer. Specs in full 10Gbps USB-C to host 2x USB-C (10Gbps, 7.5W) 1x USB-A (10Gbps, 7.5W) 2x USB-A (5Gbps, 4.5W) HDMI 2.1 2.5Gb Ethernet SD card reader (UHS-I, 104MBps) MicroSD card reader (UHS-I, 104MBps) You can buy hubs with more USB ports, but the six available here are still generous, with three at 10Gbps. Simon Jary Bandwidth: Is 10Gbps a limitation for Mac users? Data-transfer speed to the Mac is 10Gbps, where most Macs these days boast 40Gbps to 80Gbps Thunderbolt connections. There are no Thunderbolt hubs—for that you’ll need to step up to a docking station—but USB4 hubs are available if you need 40Gbps bandwidth. The 7-port Satechi Pro Hub Max Adapter ($69.99) offers 40Gbps but takes up two of the connected Mac’s TB ports, as does Plugable’s own 5-in-1 USB-C hub (AMS-5IN1E). Only the Satechi USB4 Multiport Adapter uses just one of the Mac’s ports for 40Gbps, and this hub is a close rival to the new Plugable USBC-10IN1E as it boasts nine ports, although the 2.5Gb Ethernet port it once sported has been downgraded to 1GbE. Bandwidth may be a deal breaker for some pro users, but if 10Gbps is acceptable you can save money and bulk investing in Plugable’s 10-in-1 hub. Power: Can it fully charge a MacBook Pro? While the 10Gbps Plugable USBC-10IN1E has a lower data-transfer speed than the 40Gbps Satechi, it wins on passthrough power to the host MacBook—supporting Power Delivery (PD) 3.1 Extended Power Range (EPR). Few other USB-C hubs offer as much power. While you can supply the hub with PD 3.1’s 140W of power, it uses 15W for its own operation so the maximum your laptop will receive is 125W. The company’s 9-port USBC-9IN1E hub matches the 10-port at 140W in and 125W to the connected laptop. The 16-inch MacBook Pro requires 140W for full fast-charging, so this hub falls just short, but it’s still outputting more power than the 100W promised by other hubs—and those are also probably pegged back from their maximum by using up some of the power themselves. It should certainly keep even the top-end MacBook Pro powered at full speed even under a heavy workload. 125W should charge the top-end MacBook faster than 100W, if not reaching maximum speed, and it is easily enough to fast-charge the 14-inch MacBook Pro and below. The USB ports aren’t going to win any prizes on power output, with three supporting 7.5W but that leaves more for the MacBook. If your setup requires more power to connected devices, look to a dock with its own meatier power adapter. What you gain in power, you lose on portability. Simon Jary Network: Is 2.5Gb Ethernet worth it on a USB-C hub? Most pro docking stations now offer faster 2.5GbE wired network access, and the USBC-10IN1E joins them in a much more portable form. Satechi has a USB-C Hub With 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, but a mere four ports in total—paltry compared to Plugable’s ten. It used to have a Multiport Adapter with more ports and 2.5GbE but has discontinued that product, leaving Plugable to nip in and fill the gap. Video: What display support do you actually get? The Plugable USBC-10IN1E supports a single connected 8K display at 30Hz. If that refresh rate isn’t fast enough for you, you can ‘drop’ to a 4K display at a 144Hz refresh rate, which will please video pros and gamers demanding crisper video with lower latency and smoother motion. That 144Hz refresh rate is possible if the connected Mac has at least an M3, Pro or Max chip and is running macOS 26 or later. Base M1, M2, MacBook Neo, or Macs running macOS 15 or below, have max support for a 4K at 60Hz. The 40Gbps Satechi USB4 Multiport Adapter matches the Plugable on 8K/30Hz but maxes at 60Hz when connected to a 4K display. The only hub we’ve tested that beats the Plugable on refresh rate is the $65 Baseus 9-in-1 that can reach 120Hz on a 4K display, although it can’t reach 5K or 8K like the Plugable. While that hub’s two HDMI ports look appealing, you can’t use them both for Extended Mode monitors on a Mac. If you need more than one external display via a hub, look at the other options we’ve tested and reviewed in our best USB-C hub roundup. Storage: Are the card readers fast enough? Although it hosts both an SD and MicroSD card reader slot, the Plugable USBC-10IN1E’s portable storage speeds are not the fastest at 104MBps. Apple’s own SDXC card reader is rated at 250MBps and other hubs boast 312MBps UHS-II card readers. The similar Satechi USB4 Multiport Adapter features the same slow card readers. This probably isn’t a deal breaker for most users, and there’s plenty of choice if you need faster, such as Plugable’s own 9-in-1 USB-C Hub Multiport Adapter (USBC-9IN1E). Simon Jary Price The Plugable USBC-10IN1E sells for $74.95 or CA$99.99. At the time of writing it was available only in North America. The 9-in-1 Plugable hub—priced at $49.95—matches the new 10-in-1 with 10Gbps bandwidth and 125W passthrough power but falls short on the 8K video and 2.5Gb Ethernet. If neither is vital to you, the cheaper Plugable may appeal, but there’s future-proofing built into the new 10-in-1. For faster data-transfer, look to the 40Gbps Satechi USB4 Multiport Adapter (also supporting 8K), although you’d need further adapter for the faster network connection, and it will set you back $149.99. For more options read our reviews of the best USB-C hubs for Mac or consider a fuller set of connection and charging options with one of the best Thunderbolt docking stations. Should you buy the Plugable USBC-10IN1E? It doesn’t have a pretty name but the 10-port Plugable USBC-10IN1E offers a lot of top-end goodies not found together on any other USB-C hub: 125W passthrough PD 3.1 power, 2.5Gb Ethernet, and 8K video. As such it’s closer in firepower to bigger, bulkier docking stations but in a far more portable and convenient slim form.12:01 pmThese are the four new iPhone 18 Pro colors, per rumor

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman and other leakers had previously suggested Apple was experimenting with a shade of red for the iPhone 18 Pro, but the color will apparently be much more muted than last year's Cosmic Orange on the iPhone 17 Pro. According to Macworld's source, Apple has been working on four color options for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, with the following Pantone codes said to be in use internally: Light Blue (Pantone 2121), resembling the current iPhone 17's Mist Blue Dark Cherry (Pantone 6076), the headline new color Dark Gray (Pantone 426C) Silver (Pantone 427C), similar to the current generation The source cautions that all four colors are still in development, and since the iPhone 18 Pro has not yet gone into mass production, Apple still has time to make changes. Apple also does not always offer four color options for the Pro lineup, so one of these shades could be dropped before launch. Last year, both Macworld and leaker Sonny Dickson reported that Apple had considered launching the iPhone 17 Pro in black or steel gray, but neither color was released. For the first foldable iPhone, which has been rumored to be called the "iPhone Ultra," the device will reportedly come in fewer options than the Pro models, with no bold or vibrant colors. Macworld's source says Apple has been working on a classic silver and white model, as well as an Indigo option similar to the iPhone 17 Pro's Deep Blue. The same source corroborates earlier leaks on the foldable's design, saying the device will feature two rear cameras, a selfie camera on the outer display, a second selfie camera in the upper-left corner of the inner display, and an iPad mini-style shape when unfolded. The foldable is reportedly just 4.7 millimeters thick when unfolded, which would make it considerably thinner than the 5.6mm iPhone Air. On the design of the iPhone 18 Pro, the CAD drawings seen by Macworld's source support existing rumors of a smaller Dynamic Island, which would free up a small amount of additional screen space when Live Activities are not in use. The schematics also show a slightly reduced gap between the glass cutout on the back and the camera bump in at least one render, though the source was unable to confirm whether this reflects a finalized design change. A Weibo leaker known as "Instant Digital" previously reported that Apple would adopt a new manufacturing process to minimize the color difference between the glass and the aluminum frame, which may be connected. The iPhone 18 Pro models and foldable iPhone are expected to be announced in September 2026, though some analysts suggest the foldable will launch at a later date. The iPhone 18, iPhone 18e, and iPhone Air 2 are rumored to follow in the first half of 2027.Related Roundup: iPhone 18 ProTag: MacworldThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums10:23 amD1 control plane upgrade

Macworld It’s iPhone leaks season again. In just a couple of months, Apple is expected to unveil three new phones: the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max, and a new foldable iPhone now rumored to be called the iPhone Ultra. But as always, one of the most important questions for buyers will be, What colors will Apple release this time? Like last year, Macworld has received information from a source familiar with Apple’s supply chain regarding the color options for the iPhone 18 lineup. We can now reveal an inside look at the colors Apple is planning to release in 2026, along with our own renders to show what to expect. Dark Cherry is the new Cosmic Orange Every year, Apple introduces a new signature color for the iPhone Pro models. With the iPhone 17 Pro, the color that stood out the most was the vibrant Cosmic Orange. What about this year’s models? While other sources have previously reported on a “Dark Red” color, the information we’ve heard suggests that Apple has been working on a Dark Cherry option to serve as the headline new color for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Previously, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman and other leakers had suggested that Apple has been experimenting with a shade of red for this year’s phones, but we can reveal the hue will be much closer to wine than fruit punch. While Dark Cherry color won’t be as bright and striking as Cosmic Orange in person, it will still be unique enough to distinguish it as the new iPhone 18 Pro. As always, Apple is expected to discontinue the current lineup of colors, including Cosmic Orange. The iPhone 18 Pro could come in three all-new colors.Foundry Apple has also been reportedly experimenting with two other new color options for this year’s Pro lineup. One of them is Light Blue, which would resemble the current Mist Blue color of the base iPhone 17. The other color in development is a dark shade of gray. Finally, our source also reports on the existence of a silver variant of the iPhone 18 Pro, similar to the current generation. Once again, our source notes that the colors are all in development, but since the iPhone 18 Pro hasn’t gone into mass production yet, Apple still has time to change them. Also, bear in mind that Apple doesn’t always offer four color options for the Pro models, so one of these hues could be dropped. Last year, both Macworld and the reliable leaker Sonny Dickson reported that Apple had also considered launching the iPhone 17 Pro in black or steel gray. However, those color options never saw the light of day. Here are the Pantone color codes our says are being used internally by Apple: Light Blue (Pantone 2121) Dark Cherry (Pantone 6076) Dark Gray (Pantone 426C) Silver (Pantone 427C) We used these codes to generate the image above. Of course, colors may look a bit different in real life due to the material and lighting conditions. A very familiar design with minor changes Macworld’s sources also had access to the CAD drawings of the new iPhones. These documents support the rumors that the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will look very similar to their predecessors, with only minor changes. Most notably, the renders show a smaller Dynamic Island on the screen, which has been rumored to be one of the changes for this year’s models. This means the display will have more screen space for content when the Dynamic Island isn’t showing Live Activities. The Dynamic Island could be smaller on the iPhone 18 Pro.Foundry Another interesting change noted by our source is that, in one of the renders, the gap between the glass cutout on the back and the camera bump is a bit smaller. Our source was unable to verify whether this is an old render, or if Apple is moving forward with a design change. Last year, a Weibo leaker known as Instant Digital reported that Apple would adopt a new process to minimize the color difference between the glass and the aluminum frame, so perhaps that change also involves reducing the gap between the glass and the camera bump at some point. More neutral colors for the foldable iPhone We’ve also received details about the color options for the rumored foldable iPhone. The device, which will reportedly look like an iPad mini when unfolded, won’t come in fun colors like the base iPhone and may have even fewer options than the iPhone Pro. For the foldable iPhone, Apple has been working on a classic silver and white model, as well as an Indigo option similar to the iPhone 17 Pro’s Deep Blue. The iPhone Fold will reportedly come in a dark Indigo option.Foundry The source also corroborates leaked CADs and renders showing the potential design of the foldable iPhone, which is expected to feature two rear cameras, a selfie camera on the outer display, and another selfie camera in the upper-left corner of the inner display. The schematics seen by our source reveal that the foldable iPhone will be just 4.7 millimeters thick when unfolded, making it significantly thinner than the 5.6mm iPhone Air. The iPhone 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max, and the foldable iPhone are all expected to launch in September, while some analysts suggest that the foldable model will hit stores at a later date. The base model of the iPhone 18, the iPhone 18e, and a new Air have been rumored to arrive in the first half of 2027, which has also been confirmed by our source.09:32 amApple Quietly Tweaked the iOS App Store App – Here's What's Changed
No, you aren't going crazy – Apple has quietly made a backend change to the App Store app in iOS that switches the location of the Updates tab and renames it to make it more prominent. In the App Store app, you can see the change by tapping your profile picture in the top-right corner. The "Apps & Purchase History" tab used to be at the top the list, but it has switched places with "Updates," which is now called "App Updates." The change was made by Apple without issuing a software update and is evident on both iOS 26.4.1 and the iOS 26.5 beta. There's actually a faster way to access the App Updates page in iOS 26.4 that was recently highlighted by Daring Fireball's John Gruber: Simply long-press on the App Store app on your Home Screen and you can jump straight to it from the contextual menu.Tag: App StoreThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums09:12 amFinally starting to submit my first app

Intel has launched a new budget-focused Core Series 3 processor line for lower-cost laptops -- "Intel's response to budget CPUs that are appearing in laptops like the Apple MacBook Neo," writes PCWorld's Mark Hachman. From the report: Intel unexpectedly launched the Core Series 3, based on its excellent "Panther Lake" (Core Ultra Series 3) architecture and 18A manufacturing, for devices for home consumers and small business on Thursday. Intel announced that a number of partners will launch laptops based upon the chip, including Acer, Asus, HP, Lenovo, and others. Although those laptops will be available beginning today, a number of them will begin shipping later this year, the partners said. All of it -- from the specifications down to the messaging -- feels extremely aimed at trimming the fat and delivering to users just what they'll want. Intel's new Core Series 3 family just includes two "Cougar Cove" performance cores and four low-power efficiency "Darkmont" cores, with two Xe graphics cores on top of it. Intel isn't really worrying about AI, with an NPU capable of just 17 TOPS, though the company claims the CPU, NPU, and GPU combined reach 40 TOPS of performance. Yes, laptops will use pricey DDR5 memory, but at the lower end: just DDR5-6400 speeds. Support for three external displays will be included, though, maximizing multiple screens for maximum productivity. Intel used the term "all day battery life" without elaboration. [...] Intel Core Series 3 delivers up to 47 percent better single-thread performance, up to 41 percent better multi thread performance, and up to 2.8x better GPU AI performance, Intel said. Compared against Intel's older Core 7 150U, Intel is saying that the new chip will outperform it by 2.1 times in content-creation and 2.7 times the AI performance. [...] We still don't know what Intel will charge for the chip, nor do we know what you'll be able to buy a Core Series 3 laptop for.

Customers are more loyal to Apple than ever, according to a smartphone loyalty survey conducted by phone trade-in site SellCell. 96.4% of customers surveyed said they planned to stick with an iPhone for their next upgrade, and 3.6% said they would choose a different brand. That's up from 91.9% in SellCell's 2021 survey and 90.5% in 2019. Android users were less loyal to their brand, and are almost 4x more likely to switch than iPhone users. 86.4% of people surveyed said they would stick with an Android device, while 13.6% said they planned to switch. Of the 3.6% of iPhone users who said they would move to another platform, 69.7% said they would choose a Samsung smartphone, and 20.2% said they would choose a Google smartphone. While most Android users said they would switch to a Samsung or Google device, 26.8% said they would choose an iPhone over an Android smartphone. Most iPhone users said they would stick with an iPhone because they prefer Apple (60.8%), while 17.4% said they were invested in the Apple ecosystem. About half of iPhone users contemplating switching said they would do so because the iPhone is too expensive or other brands offer better value, but 22.5% said other brands have better technology. iPhone users were more likely to be loyal over time, and 83.8% said they had used an iPhone for more than five years. By comparison, just 33.8% of Android users said they had stuck with a brand for over five years. SellCell's survey was limited to 5,000 U.S. respondents. The site says there was a roughly equal representation between iPhone and Android users, with two separate surveys that included the same question structure. More information from the survey is available from SellCell's website.Tags: Android, SellCellThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums11:17 pmCasely Power Pods recall reannounced after a fatality in New Jersey

Apple hardware engineering chief John Ternus and marketing chief Greg Joswiak recently did an interview with Tom's Guide, where they shared new insights into the MacBook Neo, AI, and spatial computing. Ternus and Joswiak made it clear that the MacBook Neo isn't your average low-cost device. Apple doesn't typically put a lot of focus on its more affordable devices, but marketing for the Neo has been expansive, and that's because Apple sees it as a "reinvention" of the entry-level laptop. From Ternus: I think maybe another one from our past is this idea that Steve talked about is the Mac being the bicycle for the mind, right? And you know, from the very beginning, the vision was let's make personal computing as accessible to as many people as possible. And that was the mission of the MacBook Neo. Ternus said the MacBook Neo required "building something completely new from the ground up" to provide customers with quality at a low price. "We never want to ship junk," he said. "We want to ship great products that have that Apple experience." Joswiak said the MacBook Neo's quality was important to Apple, and the Neo's build sets it apart from competitors. You know the products in this space that it's competing against. They're plastic, they're little, you can flex them. They're so cheap, because what have they done? They just tried to cut a nickel, cut a quarter, cut a dollar out of everything to try to make it cheaper, and as a result, they made it cheap, which is very different than making it a lower price and high value, which was the approach we were taking. Along with discussing the Neo, Ternus and Joswiak talked about the differences between the iPad and the Mac. Ternus said that Apple isn't going to merge the products, and similarities are because Apple focuses on what would make a device better and not on how one product might impact another. We're going to make the best iPad we can possibly make. We're going to make the best Mac we can possibly make. Some customer is going to choose one, some customer is going to choose the other. A lot of customers actually like to have both, and that's great too. So yeah, we never think about... there's never been this idea of mashing these two things together. On AI, which is an area where Apple has been struggling, Joswiak said it's not a sprint. We've been doing things with intelligence for many years, right? And gen AI allows us an opportunity to do that even more. So I'm excited about that, but boy, this is not a sprint. This is a marathon, right? We're going to be doing stuff with intelligence for decades, not months or years. Joswiak dodged a question about a potential touchscreen MacBook Pro, which Apple is rumored to be working on for launch as soon as this year. He also declined to comment on smart glasses, but said we're in the "early innings of spatial computing," while Ternus said that combining the digital and physical world is an "inevitability." The two were tight-lipped about any upcoming Apple products, but Joswiak said Apple is "working on some pretty cool stuff." The full interview, which goes into more detail on the MacBook Neo, AI, and includes a Steve Jobs anecdote, is well worth watching.Tags: Greg Joswiak, John TernusThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums10:45 pm$320M money laundering scheme uncovered using iCloud backup

iPhone accessory maker Casely reissued a recall for its faulty Power Pod wireless power bank (via The Verge) after one of the affected units resulted in the death of a 75-year-old woman and another exploded on a plane. Casely first issued the recall in April 2025 through the Consumer Product Safety Commission. At that time, the company said that the power banks could overheat and ignite, posing a fire and burn hazard to consumers. A total of 51 people had reported incidents where the battery overheated, expanded, or caught fire, and there were six minor burn injuries. Since then, there have been an additional 28 reports, including two serious incidents. In August 2024, a woman in New Jersey was charging her phone with a Casely power bank on her lap, and it caught fire and exploded. She had second- and third-degree burns, and later died from complications from her injuries. In February 2026, a 47-year-old woman was charging her cell phone with the power bank on an airplane when it caught fire and exploded, resulting in first-degree burns. Airlines have introduced more restrictive limits on power banks due to incidents like this. Casely sold 429,200 power banks, which were branded as the Casely "Power Pod" with MagSafe compatibility. The 5,000mAh wireless power banks were available in multiple colors and patterns, and were priced at between $30 and $70. Affected units have an E33A model number and were sold from Amazon.com, the Casely website, and other websites between March 2022 and September 2024. Anyone with a Casely Power Pod should stop using it immediately and contact Casely for a free replacement or a $60 store credit. Affected units should not be discarded, and customers should contact their local household hazardous waste collection center for disposal assistance. Casely is contacting all known purchasers directly.Tag: MagSafeThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums09:25 pmThis private AI assistant runs offline for life
