- 05:04 pmDell Says Its New $699 Laptop Has Features 'You Won't Find on a MacBook Neo'
Dell this week introduced a new version of the XPS 13, a laptop that it said is "contending with the MacBook Neo on price, and exceeding it on features." In the U.S., the XPS 13 starts at $699 for the general public and at $599 for eligible students, which is $100 more than the MacBook Neo on both fronts. However, Dell said the XPS 13 offers the following six features "you won't find on a MacBook Neo." A touch screen A backlit keyboard A faster second USB-C port (10 GB/s vs. 480 MB/s) Wi-Fi 7 (vs. Wi-Fi 6E) Windows Hello to unlock laptop via facial recognition (MacBook Neo does offer Touch ID at the same $699 price point) Four speakers (vs. two) "Apple's MacBook Neo is a capable machine, and its arrival confirms that there's real appetite for premium quality at accessible prices," said Dell. "Where Dell differs is what we think premium means at this price point and what we were willing to build to deliver it." While not mentioned in Dell's list above, the XPS 13's display offers up to a 120Hz refresh rate and 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut, whereas the MacBook Neo has a 60Hz refresh rate and sRGB coverage only. And with a 13-inch display and a resolution of 2,560×1,600 pixels, the XPS 13 offers Retina-like quality. Like the MacBook Neo, the XPS 13 base model is equipped with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage inside a thin aluminum enclosure. The base model is powered by Intel's new Core Series 3 processor, with higher-priced configurations offering Intel's Core Ultra Series 3 processors, up to 32GB of RAM, and up to 1TB of storage. Apple silicon offers industry-leading performance per watt, allowing for the MacBook Neo with an A18 Pro chip to have a fanless design. In the XPS 13, there are two fans. Dell said the XPS 13 is the thinnest and lightest XPS laptop it has ever made. It measures 12.7mm thin, matching the MacBook Neo, but its advertised weight of 2.2 pounds comes in half a pound below the MacBook Neo. The XPS 13 base model with a Core Series 3 processor is arriving "soon" in the U.S., according to Dell. The laptop will come in two finishes, Sky and Storm, with the latter color not available until "later this summer." Windows vs. macOS remains an important factor, but increased competition is good for all customers, as it helps to lower prices across the board. "A few months ago at CES, we made a commitment: compete at every price point in the consumer market and build products worthy of the XPS name," said Dell. "Even though memory shortages have pushed component costs higher across virtually every industry, we are delivering on that commitment." Without the MacBook Neo, which was rumored since June 2025, we might not be in this situation.Related Roundup: MacBook NeoTags: Dell, WindowsBuyer's Guide: MacBook Neo (Buy Now)Related Forum: MacBook NeoThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums05:01 pmSiri’s big revamp could supercharge Apple stock next week

We're just a week out from the 2026 Worldwide Developers Conference, and Apple's keynote will take place on Monday, June 8 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time or 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Ahead of the event, Apple has launched its WWDC 2026 YouTube event placeholder. Apple's YouTube page has a "Notify me" button that lets you set a reminder for the keynote in your local time.

At this year's event, Apple will introduce the latest versions of its software, including iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and visionOS 27. The main focus will be on Siri and the major AI updates coming to Apple's personal assistant. Siri is going to be much smarter, with chatbot-like capabilities and a dedicated Siri app. We have details on what to expect in our iOS 27 roundup.Related Roundup: WWDC 2026Related Forum: Apple, Inc and Tech IndustryThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums04:30 pmSketchy iPhone Fold production issue guesswork won't prevent a September launch

In addition to teasing WWDC 2026 with a new tagline today, Apple has shared a wallpaper, playlist, and a "Get Ready" video ahead of the event. iPhone, iPad, and Mac versions of the wallpaper are available to download on Apple's website. The wallpaper features a dark color scheme with a glowing Apple logo, which likely hints at Siri's rumored new design coming with iOS 27. The wallpaper page has a "Glow all out" tagline, which adds to the "All systems glow" and "Coming bright up" taglines that Apple previously shared. A new "WWDC26 Hello" playlist is available on Apple Music, with more playlists to follow throughout the weeklong developers conference. WWDC 2026 kicks off with Apple's keynote on Monday, June 8 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time. The company is set to unveil iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and visionOS 27 on that day, and the conference will run through Friday, June 12, with hundreds of developer sessions to be shared online. The keynote will be streamed live on the Apple Events website — the page is now live. There will also be streams in the Apple TV app and on YouTube. For developers, Apple has shared a new "Get Ready" video that offers tips on how to take advantage of WWDC, with all content and resources to be released for free as always. While there will be an in-person component at Apple Park for some lucky attendees, WWDC has largely been an online event since 2020. MacRumors will be attending WWDC 2026 in person, and we will have in-depth coverage of the event as always, so stay tuned.Related Roundup: WWDC 2026Related Forum: Apple, Inc and Tech IndustryThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums04:10 pmGet Apple’s A16 iPad for its 2026 low price

In fact, it’s the lowest price since Black Friday, and we don’t expect it to go any lower until the holiday season rolls around again. The A16 iPad comes with an 11-inch Liquid Retina display that’s sharp, bright, and large enough to make this a genuinely good media device, whether you prefer streaming, reading, sketching, or gaming. The 12MP front camera with Center Stage also gives you a great built-in camera for video calls, and since this tablet comes with 128GB of storage space, you’re getting more than enough for apps, games, and movies. When we reviewed the A16 iPad, we gave it a 4-star rating and loved the design, display, and performance. Granted, you’re not getting Apple Intelligence or a laminated display, but if you want that in an 11-inch tablet, you can spend twice as much on an iPad Air. The A16 is the same processor that powered the iPhone 14 Pro. It handles video editing, multitasking, gaming, and anything else most people throw at a tablet without slowing down or feeling like a compromise. At $299, the 4-star iPad A16 is an easy recommendation for anyone who wants a reliable all-around tablet without overpaying for features they won’t use.04:00 pmApple’s iPhone in prime position to take smartphone market share from rivals – Counterpoint | Mac Daily NewsApple’s iPhone in prime position to take smartphone market share from rivals – Counterpoint

Dell has introduced a redesigned $699 XPS 13 aimed squarely at Apple's budget MacBook Neo, offering a premium aluminum design, touch display, backlit keyboard, Wi-Fi 7, 512GB of base storage, and various other configuration options. Dell's machine costs more than Apple's entry model but tries to justify the difference with lighter weight, better display specs, and upgrade paths Apple doesn't offer. "The XPS 13 begins at $699 -- students can purchase it for $599 -- while the MacBook Neo costs $599 and drops to $499 for education buyers," notes Bloomberg. From the report: Dell's product allows for more configuration, with up to 32GB of memory compared with the Neo's nonupgradeable 8GB of unified memory. Its display can also produce a wider spectrum of colors and supports refresh rates up to 120 hertz, while Apple reserves its best screens for the pricier MacBook Pro line. The inclusion of a backlit keyboard should allow for easier typing in dark conditions. Dell has also tossed in other nice-to-have upgrades over the Neo like more robust Wi-Fi 7 wireless networking. As for battery life, Dell is touting "up to 17 hours of streaming" versus a comparable 16 hours on the Neo. Still, the XPS comes with compromises of its own: Unlike the Neo, there's no built-in headphone jack, which means owners will need to rely on its quad-speaker audio system, use Bluetooth earbuds or plug a headphone adapter into one of the two USB-C ports.

Apple's annual developers conference WWDC returns for 2026 next week, and the company has teased the event with a new "All systems glow" tagline. "All systems glow" is a play on the phrase "all systems go," and it likely hints at Siri's rumored new design on iOS 27. Both a dedicated Siri app and a new "Search or Ask" feature in the iPhone's Dynamic Island will reportedly have a dark color scheme with glowing elements, as shown in leaked images last week. Apple's previous tagline for WWDC 2026 was "Coming bright up." That tagline and the graphics for the event all hint at the new Siri design as well. WWDC 2026 kicks off with Apple's keynote on Monday, June 8 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time. The company is set to unveil iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and visionOS 27 on that day, and the conference will run through Friday, June 12, with hundreds of developer sessions to be shared online.

Apple's first foldable iPhone, known as the "iPhone Ultra," will feature impressive vapor chamber cooling and launch in September despite production difficulties, a known leaker today reported. The iPhone 17 Pro's vapor chamber thermal plate. In a new post today on Weibo, the leaker known as "Fixed Focus Digital" said the foldable iPhone's pre-assembly manufacturing processes are facing pressure and that the initial production ramp-up is proving difficult. The leaker added that prevailing speculation points to the original September launch schedule holding, and teased that further positive news is expected tomorrow. The leaker added that the device will feature vapor chamber (VC) cooling and that its thermal performance is "quite impressive," with Apple "really going all out" with its thermal engineering. The claim marks the first time a source has attributed vapor chamber cooling to the iPhone Ultra, and the detail is notable given the extent of the design compromises the device is expected to make. Rumors suggest the iPhone Ultra could be missing at least five features present on the iPhone 17 Pro, including Face ID, a telephoto camera, MagSafe, the Action Button, and a physical SIM card slot, largely as a result of its 4.5mm folded thickness. The iPhone Air, which shares a similar ultra-thin philosophy, does not feature vapor chamber cooling, making its presence on the iPhone Ultra far from a given before today's report. Apple overhauled the thermal design of the iPhone 17 Pro last year, adopting a vapor chamber cooling system for the first time in an iPhone. The system circulates a small amount of deionized water to move heat away from the A19 Pro chip and distribute it throughout the device's aluminum unibody frame, with Apple claiming the design delivers 40% better sustained performance for demanding tasks compared to the graphite thermal systems used in previous Pro models. The post arrives amid a series of production difficulty reports surrounding the foldable iPhone. Earlier this month, Fixed Focus Digital pointed to yield problems at the pre-assembly stage related to surface-mount technology (SMT), distinct from a separate report by the leaker known as "Instant Digital" that attributed production difficulties to the hinge failing Apple's quality control standards under conditions of prolonged, high-frequency opening and closing. Fixed Focus Digital's account pushed back on that framing, suggesting the hinge was not the primary source of difficulty. DigiTimes reported in April that production was already running roughly one to two months behind schedule while still maintaining that a fall 2026 launch remained on track, with mass production planned to begin in July. Fixed Focus Digital also reported in April that price negotiations with Apple's assembly partner were a potentially disruptive factor. Despite the difficulties, the launch timeline does not appear to be at risk. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported in April that the iPhone Ultra is on track for a September debut alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, though he noted the timing was not final and production had yet to ramp up. The device is expected to feature a 7.8-inch inner display, a 5.5-inch cover display, the A20 chip, the C2 modem, Touch ID in place of Face ID, and two rear cameras, with pricing rumored to start at around $2,000.Related Roundup: iPhone FoldTags: Fixed Focus Digital, Foldable iPhone, iPhone UltraThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums03:00 pmApple TV celebrates ‘Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed’ at ATX TV Festival

Macworld An unreleased and as-yet-unidentified set of Apple’s Beats-branded headphones has been spotted in an Instagram post by the professional footballer Lamine Yamal. Yamal, a young, highly rated, and extremely famous midfielder who plays for Barcelona, posted four photos and a video to the social network over the weekend. In all of these, the viewer can make out a pair of light pink over-ear headphones with the Beats logo, but they don’t look like any over-ears the company has released up to now. Apple does currently make a set of Beats over-ears (or on-ears, at any rate, a subtly different style) in that color: the Beats Solo 4 come in Cloud Pink. But the design of the headband is clearly different. The Beats Studio Pro, on the other hand, don’t come in pink, but they’re also sufficiently different in design that we can be sure this isn’t just a new colorway for that product. Instead, this is evidently something that hasn’t been released yet. And it’s probably the same mystery product that was glimpsed last month in an FCC filing. These were described in documentation only as “Bluetooth over-ear headphones.” Apple made a confidentiality request to conceal further details. There was speculation at the time that these could be an updated version of the Beats Studio Pro. The first Beats Studio Pro arrived in July 2023 and are approaching their third anniversary, so they’re due for an update. It’s worth noting that Apple occasionally debuts new headphone technology in Beats before they arrive in AirPods. For example, the PowerBeats Pro 2 got a heart rate sensor more than six months before arriving in AirPods Pro 3. So it’s possible these new headphones could hold some clues for the next-gen AirPods Max, which haven’t received a meaningful update since their 2020 debut. The prominent and seemingly gratuitous position given to the headphones in the images (Yamal isn’t listening to them; they just hang ostentatiously from a bag or around his neck, their pale color contrasting nicely with the player’s black outfit and the dark furniture) hints at a deliberate and/or commercial decision to showcase the new product. But nothing is stated explicitly. We don’t get the brand name, the pricing, the release date, or even an acknowledgment of the headphones’ presence: the caption is simply “ey españa!” or “Hey Spain!” In other words, this is probably a piece of stealth marketing, albeit one that’s not very stealthy. If Apple has got to this stage in its marketing cycle, it seems likely we will find out more soon.01:31 pmWhat do you think missing in my analytics page?

However, it’s quite rare to see it this low, just $5 in black over at Amazon. That’s not a sale that requires much analysis. It’s the kind of thing you add to a cart because having a spare charging cable around costs less than a coffee. The braided woven design is the thing that will make you love this cable quite a bit because it will feel so much sturdier than a regular model. For many cables at this price point, quality feels like an afterthought, as they’re thin, stiff, and quite prone to getting destroyed if you as much as gently close the drawer over them. Another cool “side effect” of the braided sleeve is that the cable won’t get put in a knot by the elves of chaos at the bottom of your bag. This Beats cable supports fast charging up to 15W on select iPhones, iPads, and various Android devices, so it won’t just work with Beats headphones. That covers most everyday scenarios, allowing you to plug this thing into a desktop PC, a car’s USB port, a power bank, or a versatile charging brick. I would have loved for this to be a USB-C to USB-C cable, which would have allowed faster charging speed and wider compatibility. Obviously, it’s better suited for older charging setups, but 15W is still a good charging speed for some devices, even by current standards. And we all have old accessories that still use USB-A, so they’re handy to have around. At $5, this Beats cable is a good pick whether you want to charge devices or transfer data01:12 pmController for HomeKit app adds AI feature: ‘Just say it’

Macworld This year’s iPhone Pro will be the best iPhone Apple has ever made. I mean, obviously, it doesn’t take an expert to predict that. The question, however, is whether it will be enough of an improvement on the 2025 handsets to be worth the money and the wait. Apple’s annual hardware upgrades are often iterative, which means the differences between one generation and the next are relatively minor. If you’re wondering whether to grab an iPhone 17 Pro now or hang on for the iPhone 18 Pro, for example, the truth is that the latter probably won’t be worth the wait. The changes anticipated in the 18 Pro are unlikely to significantly impact the main feature set you get or the way you use your device each day. That’s not the case every year, however. Every once in a while, Apple puts out a breakthrough iPhone model with core changes to its design and functionality. We saw that with the iPhone X. The overhauled phone instantly stood out, making the same-generation iPhone 8 and previous models look ancient in comparison. And we think something similar is going to happen in 2027. For the iPhone’s 20th anniversary, Apple will reportedly introduce dramatic changes that kickstart the device’s upcoming era. If you’ve been planning to buy an iPhone 18 Pro this fall, these seven reasons will make you want to wait for 2027’s special model. Bye-bye, bezels Former Apple designer Jony Ive famously envisioned the iPhone’s ultimate form as a single glass slab. The 20th-anniversary iPhone could mark a major milestone by taking that concept to the next level and adopting a curved display for the first time. According to rumors, the display’s four edges will all curve, virtually eliminating any visible bezels. The Liquid Glass design on iOS will likely be optimized to blend software elements with the hardware, resulting in realism and visual harmony. The phone won’t actually be a mere glass slab, of course, but it will look like one to those interacting with the screen. Invisible buttons Reports about the iPhone dropping its mechanical side buttons in favor of haptic ones have been circulating for years. These rumors could finally materialize with the 20th-anniversary iPhone thanks to the curved display. Apple could incorporate solid-state buttons into the glass edges and upgrade its Taptic Engine to provide sensory feedback when clicked—similar to the iPhone 7’s Home button. This will further contribute to the iPhone’s futuristic feel and eliminate lint-collecting gaps. Physical buttons that actually stick out from your phone are so 2025.Mahmoud Itani / Foundry Apple’s most immersive display yet The 2027 iPhone’s design innovations likely won’t be limited to the curved edges and haptic side buttons. The device will also reportedly feature a thinner OLED panel, increasing the brightness while reducing power consumption. Better still, the top cutout could finally be eliminated by moving the Face ID sensors and front camera under the display. This would completely get rid of distracting elements and get us yet closer to Jony Ive’s “glass slab” vision. If Apple fails to overcome the associated technological challenges before then, it may settle for a smaller Dynamic Island (Dynamic Islet?) instead. Power-full battery Battery life is one of the most common concerns among smartphone buyers. The eSIM-only iPhone 17 Pro Max currently boasts the largest iPhone battery capacity, at 5,088 mAh. The 20th-anniversary model could push that number as high as 6,000 mAh. Apple has also been experimenting with silicon anode technology, which would extend the battery’s life while maintaining its size. Speaking of batteries, the 20th-anniversary iPhone may finally implement reverse wireless charging support, letting you recharge compatible accessories—such as AirPods—by placing them on the phone’s rear surface. Shooting star Apple has long invested in the iPhone’s photographic capabilities, and its camera is often considered the best on certain social media platforms. For the 20th-anniversary iPhone, the company could debut its custom Lateral Overflow Integration Capacitor (LOFIC) sensor, significantly boosting HDR output. The technology minimizes overexposure in bright areas and dark shadows in dim spots by letting each pixel store different amounts of light in a single photo as required. This would noticeably enhance iPhone photography by preserving more details and outputting more balanced shots. If you don’t think the iPhone’s camera could get any better, wait until next year.Mahmoud Itani / Foundry Speed and intelligence It goes without saying that the 20th-anniversary iPhone will enjoy the usual annual chip upgrade and performance gains. Logically that means the unreleased A21 Pro, Apple’s second 2-nm iPhone chip. It could feature Mobile High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), which would accelerate data transfer between the RAM and CPU/GPU. HBM is also more optimized for on-device AI tasks, speeding up processing and reducing battery drain. To further extend battery life, 2027’s flagship iPhone could feature an in-house Apple modem. The company has already included the C-series cellular chips in select devices, such as the iPhone Air. It’s believed that the company will roll these chips out to all of its iPhones once they surpass the performance of their Qualcomm counterparts next year. Price? Not as painful as you might think Because the 20th-anniversary iPhone is expected to be significantly more advanced than its predecessors, some customers may understandably be worried about a price hike. However, a fresh rumor suggests this special model will actually occupy the Pro tier in fall 2027’s iPhone generation, rather than a new, higher tier. While Apple may yet raise prices, the potential increase presumably won’t be drastic. With this year’s folding iPhone Ultra expected to cost around $2,000, the company will likely want to maintain clear price spacing between its different iPhone models.12:22 pmThe final watchOS 26 final review — better, but not better enough

Apple's Car Keys feature appears to be coming to future vehicles made by Indian maker Mahindra, based on code changes discovered by MacRumors in Apple's Wallet app backend. Car Keys allows an iPhone or Apple Watch with NFC capabilities to unlock a vehicle through the Wallet app. A digital version of a car key is stored in Wallet, and unlocking can be done simply by holding an Apple Watch or iPhone near a compatible vehicle's NFC reader. Mahindra already supports Samsung Wallet's Digital Car Key feature for Galaxy devices, but it does not yet offer native Apple Car Key support, so this would need to be implemented by the automobile manufacturer first on future models. What can be done with Car Keys may vary by car manufacturer, but at a minimum, Car Keys can be used to unlock your car, lock your car, and start your car, which are the features available with a physical key. Apple introduced Car Keys in 2022, and car manufacturers like BMW, Rivian, Kia, and Hyundai have all implemented support for Car Keys. Apple maintains a full list of vehicles that support Car Keys on its CarPlay model availability webpage.Tag: iPhone Car KeysThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums12:00 pmMacBook Neo rival launched at $599; Nvidia PC chip takes on Apple Silicon

Apple is expected to launch its first foldable iPhone later this year. Rumors suggest the "iPhone Ultra" will come in two color options, and a leaker shared an image today that allegedly shows one of them. Posted on Weibo by the Chinese leaker known as Ice Universe, the image purportedly offers a first glimpse of Apple's foldable in white. The device is believed to have entered early mass production, but the model shown is likely a dummy. Regardless, fellow leaker Instant Digital has said white is so far the only "confirmed" finish that the device will be available in. It is not yet clear what the alternative color will be, but Macworld recently cited a supply chain source claiming that it will be an indigo option similar to the iPhone 17 Pro's Deep Blue finish. The same source said the device will offer fewer choices than the iPhone 18 Pro models, with no bold or vibrant colors. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple plans to "stay away from fun colors" and stick to more traditional space gray/black and silver/white finishes. Such an approach would be similar to the iPhone X, which launched in just two colors – Silver and Space Gray – when it debuted in November 2017. A limited color selection may simply reflect the foldable iPhone's expected low production volumes. Industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has warned that manufacturing challenges could constrain supply through at least the end of 2026, and adding more colors would increase complexity and costs for an already difficult-to-produce device. With launch supply expected to be tight and a price above $2,000, as reported by Gurman, Apple likely has little incentive to expand the initial color lineup, while buyers at this price point are also less likely to base their purchasing decision on color options. The iPhone Ultra is expected to launch alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max this coming September.Tags: Foldable iPhone, Ice Universe, iPhone UltraThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums11:08 amHere’s how Apple (kind of) shot an MLS game entirely with iPhones

Macworld Apple’s annual WWDC keynote is just around the corner. The event is best known as the place where Apple unveils what’s next for its software and operating systems. After all, WWDC is a developer conference. Even so, every year there’s hope that we’ll see new hardware unveiled at the event, and Apple has delivered from time to time. This year, however, the story is different. Although there has been no official confirmation from Apple, there’s strong evidence that the company won’t introduce any new products until this fall. The reason? A combination of a shifting roadmap, delayed features, and RAM shortages. At first glance, that may sound disappointing. But once you look at Apple’s current product lineup, the timing of recent releases, and the company’s roadmap for the rest of the year, the strategy actually makes perfect sense. History of recent hardware at WWDC WWDC is essentially a software event. Every year, Apple announces a new version of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and, more recently, visionOS, and releases new tools, APIs, and betas to developers. Occasionally, the event also serves as an opportunity to introduce new hardware. That’s because new products usually come with new software or features that require some attention from developers. And WWDC has been the stage for major announcements in the past. In 2023, Apple unveiled the Vision Pro at WWDC. The product didn’t hit stores until the following February, but developers were able to get their hands on the visionOS operating system well in advance. The HomePod was also first unveiled at WWDC 2021, more than six months ahead of its release. WWDC has also been a place for Apple to unveil new Macs. Most notably, products such as the first 15-inch MacBook Air, the transition from Intel to Apple Silicon Macs, and the redesigned cylindrical Mac Pro were unveiled at the event. And Apple unveiled the M2 Ultra processor and the first Apple silicon Mac Pro at the event in 2023 as well. So, even though it’s a software event, Apple has no qualms about using it to showcase some of its new products to the world. WWDC isn’t a hardware show, but it’s no stranger to new products.Foundry Apple has already released a lot this year One of the biggest reasons Apple likely won’t announce hardware at WWDC is simple: it has already updated most of its important devices over the last few months. The year kicked off with the AirTag 2, followed by the updated iPhone 17e featuring the A19 chip and MagSafe. The company then updated the iPad Air with the M4 chip, and the M5 MacBook Air and M5 Pro/Max MacBook Pro. The Studio Display got a much-awaited upgrade with mini-LED and 120Hz, and the long-rumored MacBook Neo finally saw the light of day. Even the AirPods Max got a March update with an H2 chip to enhance ANC and other smart features. That already leaves little room for major announcements at this year’s WWDC. As always, Apple isn’t expected to announce new iPhones or iPads until this fall, and the remaining Macs could be due for a longer-than-usual wait. Component shortages are the biggest issue Pro users have also been waiting for new Mac desktops, especially now that the Mac Pro has been officially discontinued. Both the Mac mini and Mac Studio haven’t been updated in a while and don’t feature Apple’s latest chips. However, given the global shortage of RAM, Apple may be forced to wait a little longer before releasing any new Macs. Because of the RAM shortage, Apple has already had to discontinue several configuration options for both of these Macs, including the entry-level Mac mini model with 256GB of storage. And the models that are remaining have extremely long delivery windows. The Mac mini is due for an M5 upgrade, but it might not arrive for a while.IDG Given that the RAM shortage isn’t expected to ease anytime soon, it’s unlikely we’ll see new Macs at this year’s WWDC. As for iPads, the iPad Air was recently updated, while the iPad Pro was refreshed with the M5 chip less than a year ago. The entry-level iPad and the iPad mini have yet to be updated, but we expect this to happen this fall alongside the new iPhones rather than at WWDC. In line with our expectations, Apple CFO Kevan Parekh hinted during a conference call with investors earlier this month that there wouldn’t be an iPad product announcement this quarter, reporting that it would be a “difficult comparison” for the iPad segment with the same quarter last year. Notably, Apple introduced the M3 iPad Air and A16 iPad during this quarter in 2025. Of course, Apple has reportedly been working on other new products that could theoretically be announced at WWDC 2026. But evidence suggests that these products aren’t yet ready for shipment for various reasons. One of them has been dubbed HomePad, rumored to be a smart speaker that combines a HomePod with a screen the size of an iPad mini. According to analysts, the hardware has been ready for quite some time, but Apple has been holding off on the launch because the product relies heavily on the new version of Siri with Apple Intelligence, which has yet to be released to the public. It’s possible that Apple uses WWDC to preview the device ahead of shipment later this year, as it has in the past, but all signs point to a software-only show this year. Screenshot Apple AI is now the priority More than just a software event, this year’s WWDC is expected to be something of a reboot for Apple Intelligence. Apple’s AI features were first announced in 2024, but the company has yet to deliver on its biggest promise: an AI-powered, revamped Siri. According to the latest rumors, Apple is indeed focusing all its efforts on delivering a bunch of new Apple Intelligence features, with the software set to be announced at WWDC 2026. And that’s a great thing. Much of the hardware Apple has been working on will rely heavily on AI. Not just the HomePad, but also things like the rumored smart glasses, smart home accessories, and AirPods with cameras. For these products to become a reality, Apple needs to improve Apple Intelligence first. So while you might not be able to buy anything now, WWDC 2026 may end up being remembered not as the year Apple introduced a major new platform, but as the year it quietly prepared its ecosystem for what comes next.10:52 amShould I use my old iPhone to test iOS 26 apps?

Nvidia is entering the consumer PC chip business for the first time and has thrown down the gauntlet to Apple, describing its new RTX Spark processor as "the most efficient PC chip ever built." Nvidia says its RTX Spark Superchip is purpose-built to run AI agents that can work proactively across apps and run in the background as a personal "teammate." With the chip, Nvidia says users can "render ultra-large 90GB 3D scenes with OptiX and DLSS, edit 12K 4:2:2 video with the NVIDIA Blackwell decoder, run 120-billion-parameter large language models with 1 million tokens context, and play AAA games at 1440p resolution and over 100 frames per second with ray tracing, DLSS and Reflex." The chip was announced by Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang at the Computex conference in Taipei on Monday. It's a big play for a company traditionally focused on graphics cards to move into the kind of integrated silicon that runs an entire laptop. It also puts the RTX Spark on a collision course with Apple's M5, widely regarded as the laptop chip to beat for running AI tasks on-device. Like Apple's chips, the RTX Spark is Arm-based, pairing an Nvidia Blackwell RTX graphics processor with a Grace CPU. It's effectively the same GB10 chip that's found in the DGX Spark, the tiny "personal AI supercomputer" that Nvidia released last year. Microsoft's new 15-inch Surface Laptop Ultra will be among the first machines to ship with the integrated silicon. The machine features a mini-LED touchscreen, the largest haptic touchpad Microsoft has fitted to a Surface, and a selection of ports covering HDMI, USB-C, USB-A, SD cards, and headphones. Configured with up to 128GB of unified memory, the Ultra can run AI models with up to 120 billion parameters locally, a figure Microsoft attributes to Nvidia, based on a theoretical performance measure. Microsoft claims it's the most powerful Surface it has ever built. Nvidia says its chip will eventually appear in around 30 laptops and more than 10 desktops. Microsoft says the Surface Laptop Ultra will arrive later this year. Pricing has not been announced, but Nvidia has suggested the first wave of RTX Spark machines will target the premium end of the market.Tags: Apple Silicon, Microsoft, NvidiaThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums10:21 amComplete macOS versions history 2001-2026: Dates, features & support

Macworld In just about a week, Apple will unveil its new slate of operating systems at the WWDC 26 keynote. As usual, iOS will take center stage, with a raft of new features and functionality that set the tone for the next 12 months. We’ve heard for a while that this year’s release will be more of a “maintenance” update, fixing the issues with Liquid Glass and ironing out the many wrinkles throughout the system. While I’m sure there will be plenty of this throughout iOS 27, the recent round of rumors suggests Apple is going to fix iOS 26 in a completely different way: by adding a level of fluidity just below Liquid Glass. Last week, Mark Gurman offered the best look yet at the new Apple/Gemini Intelligence-powered Siri, including illustrations of the new interface. According to the report, Siri will now live in the Dynamic Island, and users will be able to “swipe down from the top center of the iPhone anywhere in the system” to start a chat session with Siri. That implies that Apple expects users to not only interact with Siri far more often, but also treat the chatbot as a part of the phone rather than just another feature built into iOS. We haven’t seen the way the whole thing works yet, but we already know the new Siri will be far more capable. Now it seems that users will flow in and out of Siri like the Home Screen or Control Center. It doesn’t stop at Siri. According to rumors, several features will make their debut in iOS 27 that extend the capabilities of Apple’s AI system beyond apps and menus: Writing Tools: Gurman says Apple’s system will be more capable and discoverable. Shortcuts: Users will reportedly be able to use plain language to create actions. Camera: A new “Siri” mode could bring Visual Intelligence to a more prominent location. Voice Control: iPhone users will be able to use natural language to interact with folders and files. Plus: All of the features we’re still waiting for from iOS 18: app intents, on-screen awareness, and personalized context. Add it all up, and you have Phase 2 of Liquid Glass: Fluid space (bear with me, it’s a working name). If Liquid Glass is the topmost layer of iOS, then Apple Intelligence in iOS 27 will be the fluid substrate just under the surface, conducting your actions with as little direct user input as possible. The biggest problem with Apple Intelligence now isn’t that it’s unfinished. It’s that the parts we have require direct user input and often produce disappointing results. Ultimately, the effort just isn’t worth it. But the AI bits that do work quietly—things like summaries, adaptive power, and order tracking—offer a seamless, frictionless experience that actually delivers on the promise of AI. Now Siri and iOS 27 can take it to the next level. Where Liquid Glass delivered a new look for the iPhone, iOS 27 has the chance to deliver a fluid layer that flows exactly where and when we need it.

Apple is still working on a cheaper, lighter successor to its Vision Pro headset, but it is unlikely to launch before late 2028 or 2029, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Writing in his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman says that Apple needs to come up with a slimmer design for the $3,499 headset and bring down the cost before it can return to the category, which is essentially "on ice" until then. Gurman made a point of distinguishing the Vision Pro successor from the long-rumored "Vision Air," which was cancelled last year. In the meantime, Apple's smart glasses project is now the focus, and former Vision Products Group members have been reassigned to that team. Apple is now aiming to release its first smart glasses in "late 2027," according to Gurman.

While we are still a week away from Apple unveiling iOS 27, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has just shared the first rumor regarding iOS 28. In his Power On newsletter today, he said that iOS 28 will be "far more significant" than iOS 27, but he did not provide any specific details. "Next year's '28' releases are already shaping up to be far more significant than the '27' updates," wrote Gurman, without elaborating. iOS 28 is codenamed "Bell," while macOS 28 is "Poppy," he said. iOS 28 would be the first version available on Apple's rumored 20th-anniversary iPhone, which is expected to be released in September next year. iOS 27 will seemingly be focused on Siri and Apple Intelligence. The update will include the long-awaited personalized version of Siri, complete with on-screen awareness and better understanding of your personal context. For example, at WWDC 2024, Apple showed a user asking Siri about their mother's flight and lunch reservation based on info retrieved from the Mail and Messages apps. A dedicated Siri app will allow you to have back-and-forth conversations with Siri in text or voice modes, similar to other chatbot apps like ChatGPT. In addition, iOS 27 is expected to add a "Search or Ask" feature to the Dynamic Island. It remains to be seen exactly how iOS 28 will be more significant. The update will be unveiled at WWDC 2027 next June, so there is a long time to go.Related Roundup: iOS 27Tags: Bloomberg, iOS 28, Mark GurmanThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums09:28 pmApp indie business, what AI subscription to help?

Though that's not the whole story.Apple's smart glasses ambitions don't stop at speakers and microphonesRumors about Apple's smart glasses effort have been increasing in frequency since 2024, but primarily from a single source. One other highly accurate source that has been in play since 2023 has offered a differing timeline, until now.According to the Bloomberg newsletter "Power On," Apple is pushing back its smart glasses release to late 2027 after hitting some development snags. While Mark Gurman didn't offer his usual derogatory pile-on of Apple's internal struggles, the timeline shift comes as a bit of a surprise.

Apple is now aiming to release its first smart glasses in "late 2027," according to the latest word from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Meta Ray-Bans He previously said that Apple planned to begin shipping the glasses by early 2027, but he said the product has faced development delays. The glasses will feature "oval-shaped cameras, unique colors, and multiple frame styles," according to Gurman. "Over time, Apple believes the glasses could evolve into a health device and eventually incorporate augmented reality technologies capable of improving how people see," he said, but this technology is likely years away. According to Gurman's sources, Apple's CEO Tim Cook views the glasses as his "top priority" before he hands the reigns to John Ternus on September 1. The glasses will compete with products in the $200 to $500 range in the U.S., he said. Like the Meta Ray-Bans, Apple's glasses will have built-in cameras that let users capture photos and videos. There would also be speakers and microphones for music, phone calls, and notifications announced by Siri, he said. The glasses could offer turn-by-turn walking directions. As for build quality, he said Apple is designing its own plastic frames, with the company allegedly testing at least four potential designs:A larger rectangular frame, similar to Ray-Ban's Wayfarers A slimmer rectangular design, similar to the glasses worn by Apple CEO Tim Cook Larger oval or circular frames Smaller oval or circular framesApple is exploring a range of color options, including black, ocean blue, and light brown, and the glasses may have vertically-oriented oval camera lenses, he said. Meta uses frames from the popular glasses brand Ray-Ban. Unlike the latest generation of Meta Ray-Bans, Gurman does not expect Apple's first smart glasses to have an in-lens augmented reality display. He does not expect Apple's glasses to gain such a feature for at least a few years.Tags: Apple Glasses, Bloomberg, Mark GurmanThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums04:07 pmSurprising nobody, Apple's already working on iOS 28, macOS 28

New models of the Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini are "nearly ready to go," according to the latest word from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Both devices have been ready "for months," but Apple is holding off on launching them until the more personalized version of Siri is available, he said. "I am told the hardware for the next Apple TV set-top box and HomePod mini has been done for months and that both devices are already in active use among employees at the company's headquarters in Cupertino, California," wrote Gurman. If you have been closely following Apple TV and HomePod mini rumors, this is a familiar narrative by now. The devices remain held up by the more personalized version of Siri, which was originally expected to launch around March or April of 2025. The revamped Siri is finally expected to launch as part of iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27, which will be unveiled during the WWDC 2026 keynote on Monday, June 8. Following beta testing, the software updates should be widely released in September, so the new Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini models should be available to purchase by then. In other words, the devices are hopefully around 3-4 months away at the latest. The current Apple TV 4K was unveiled in October 2022, while the HomePod mini was introduced in October 2020, so there has been a long wait for the devices. Nevertheless, Gurman said "don't expect much" in terms of new features for both devices, aside from newer chips that support the more personalized version of Siri. The current Apple TV 4K has an A15 Bionic chip from the iPhone 13 series, while the HomePod mini uses the S5 chip from the Apple Watch Series 5. Earlier rumors claimed the next Apple TV would be equipped with the A17 Pro chip, which is the oldest chip that supports Apple Intelligence. The device is also expected to feature Apple's N1 chip for Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread. Gurman expects the next Apple TV to have a similar design as the current model. There is one new twist, as he was told that the Apple TV's Siri Remote may be "refreshed in some form," but he did not provide any specific details or guarantee that there will be any outward-facing design changes to the accessory. As for the HomePod mini, it is expected to use an Apple Watch's S9 chip or newer, but it is unclear if or how that chip would fully support the new Siri powered by Apple Intelligence. Other previously-rumored features for the speaker include the N1 chip, improved sound quality, a newer Ultra Wideband chip, and a red color option. Apple is also expected to update the full-sized HomePod and release an all-new smart home hub this year, with those devices also held up by Siri.Related Roundups: Apple TV, HomePod miniTags: Bloomberg, Mark Gurman, Siri, Siri RemoteBuyer's Guide: Apple TV (Don't Buy), HomePod Mini (Don't Buy)Related Forums: Apple TV and Home Theater, HomePod, HomeKit, CarPlay, Home & Auto TechnologyThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums03:33 pmApple TV, HomePod mini updates are waiting for Siri's upgrade
