Apple's software engineers are testing iOS 26.3.1, according to the MacRumors visitor logs, which have been a reliable indicator of upcoming iOS versions. iOS 26.3.1 should be a minor update that fixes bugs and/or security vulnerabilities, and it will likely be released within the next two weeks. Last month, Apple released iOS 26.2.1 with bug fixes and support for the second-generation AirTag. Likewise, it is possible that iOS 26.3.1 will include support for some of the new products that Apple is expected to announce in the first week of March, such as the iPhone 17e, but this is merely speculation at this point. Apple is reportedly planning a three-day stretch of product announcements from Monday, March 2 through Wednesday, March 4. Selected journalists and content creators are expected to receive hands-on time with the products at an "Apple Experience" in New York, London, and Shanghai on Wednesday, March 4 at 9 a.m. Eastern Time. We have not confirmed if there will be any corresponding updates, such as macOS 26.3.1. iOS 26.3.1 will be a stopgap update between iOS 26.3, released earlier this month, and iOS 26.4, which will likely arrive in late March or early April. While it lacks the personalized version of Siri, iOS 26.4 is shaping up to be a relatively significant update that adds many new features across Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, CarPlay, and more.Related Roundups: iOS 26, iPadOS 26Related Forum: iOS 26This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums01:22 amMAN (Manchester) on 2026-02-23

In his Power On newsletter today, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said Apple will have a three-day stretch of product announcements from Monday, March 2 through Wednesday, March 4. In total, he expects Apple to introduce "at least five products." A week ago, Apple invited selected journalists and content creators to an "Apple Experience" in New York, London, and Shanghai on Wednesday, March 4 at 9 a.m. Eastern Time. At these in-person gatherings, the expectation is that attendees will receive hands-on time with the new products that Apple announces next week. Given this launch is described as an "Apple Experience," it appears there will not be a traditional Apple Event live stream. Instead, the new products are expected to be unveiled in a series of press releases on the Apple Newsroom website. A new lower-cost MacBook will "very likely" be one of the new products introduced next week, according to Gurman. Rumored features include a 12.9-inch display, a version of the iPhone 16 Pro's A18 Pro chip, and a variety of fun color options. Gurman expects the iPhone 17e to debut by the first week of March. The device is expected to have four key upgrades over the iPhone 16e, including an A19 chip, MagSafe, Apple's C1X modem for faster 5G, and Apple's N1 chip for Wi-Fi 7. Other potential products coming next week include an iPad Air with the M4 chip, an iPad 12 with the A18 chip, a MacBook Air with the M5 chip, and MacBook Pro models with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. Two new Studio Displays are reportedly in the works too, but Gurman said it might be "overkill" for those to arrive next week. In any case, it sounds like Apple's next products are just days away. This launch comes after Apple released a second-generation AirTag last month. Tag: Mark GurmanThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums04:41 pmReport: Apple is Testing These iPhone 18 Pro and Foldable iPhone Colors
The special new color that Apple is considering for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max this year is red, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Specifically, he said that Apple is testing a "deep red" finish for the two devices. If this rumor materializes, it would be the first time that the Pro and Pro Max models ever come in red, and the iPhone 18 Pro models would be the first iPhone models to be available in red since the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus in (PRODUCT)RED. However, it sounds like it would be more of a burgundy finish than a bright red. While it was previously rumored that Apple was also considering purple and brown finishes for the iPhone 18 Pro models, Gurman said he believes that those color options are "just variants of the same red idea — given that the tones are fairly similar." In other words, it sounds like those two color options will not actually be offered. As for the foldable iPhone, Gurman said Apple plans to "stay away from fun colors" and stick to more traditional space gray/black and silver/white finishes. Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and foldable iPhone models in September.

Macworld According to rumors, 2026 is shaping up to be a huge year for the Mac, starting in just a couple of weeks with Apple’s first event (or “experience”) of the year. Along with the usual faster chips, Apple reportedly has new tricks up its sleeve in 2026, with several new features that will have Mac users everywhere saying, “Finally!” Here are four major overdue announcements we expect to arrive this year. A budget MacBook iPhone fans have long pined for a truly affordable MacBook priced below the $999 MacBook Air that isn’t just an older model with a cut-rate price. That dream machine may finally arrive in just two short weeks. On March 4, Apple will hold a series of “experiences” in New York, London, and Shanghai, and the star is expected to be the first-ever low-cost MacBook. After tackling the mid-range market with the MacBook Air, Apple reportedly wants to compete with Chromebooks and Windows laptops, with a new laptop that could be as cheap as $599. Apple will reportedly use an A18 Pro or A19 Pro iPhone chip, and it will likely have a smaller screen than the Air and possibly fewer USB ports. But it will be powerful enough for everyday tasks and light work. For a lot of users, that’s all that’s needed. MacBooks with OLED displays When Apple unveiled the M1 Pro/M1 Max MacBook Pro in 2021, it was the first Mac to get the Liquid Retina XDR display, which was introduced in the 12.9-inch iPad Pro a few months earlier. The new mini-LED display was a huge upgrade over the previous model, bringing extreme dynamic range HDR, 120Hz ProMotion refresh, and up to 1,000 nits of sustained, full-screen brightness. it’s an excellent display, but it’s no longer the best. Apple is expected to upgrade the MacBook Pro’s display again in 2026 by taking another page from the iPad Pro. The M4 iPad Pro, released in 2024, introduced the Ultra Retina XDR display with tandem OLED technology to deliver high brightness, wide color support, and impressive color accuracy. Mac users have wanted it ever since, and it looks like Ultra Retina XDR will finally come with the M6 Pro and M6 Max MacBook Pro later this year. By the end of 2026, the MacBook Pro will be a very different laptop.Foundry A touchscreen MacBook Pro One of the most frequent barbs I get from Windows users who want to needle me about my Mac devotion is, “When are MacBooks going to get touchscreens?” We may finally have an answer in 2026, when rumors say Apple will launch the first-ever MacBook with a touchscreen display in the fall. There’s a chance it could slip into the early part of 2027, but signs suggest Apple really wants to make it happen in 2026. The MacBook Pro’s 20th anniversary is this year, and Apple reportedly wants to mark the occasion by introducing the new model. Along with a touchscreen, the redesign will also bring a thinner profile and speedier M6 Pro and Max chips. We expect the laptop to retain its trackpad, but for users who’ve been wanting to reach up and place their fingers on the screen, they’ll finally get their wish. The replacement for the C1X modem could make its way into the M6 Pro and Max MacBook Pro.Apple MacBooks with 5G For many longtime Mac users, it’s a head-scratcher why Apple hasn’t put a modem inside a MacBook, especially when the entire iPad line has one. Of course, you can always tether to an iPhone when there’s no Wi-Fi around (depending on your wireless plan), but it’s not ideal if you need to move a lot of large files around. And of course, you’re also draining your iPhone and MacBook batteries. Last year, Apple released its first homegrown cellular modems, the C1 in the iPhone 16e and the C1X in the iPhone Air and iPad Pro. With the C2 in 2026, which will likely support mmWave, Apple is expected to expand the modem to more devices, starting with the M6 Pro and M6 Max MacBook Pro. With an Apple modem in a MacBook Pro, you can stop worrying about staying connected and draining the life out of your tethered iPhone.02:40 pmThis $25 bundle helps you create content without the creative burnout

Macworld TL;DR: The BlockChance™ Bitcoin Ticket Miner gives you the chance to win a full Bitcoin block, and it’s on sale today for $50. Most people assume Bitcoin mining is only for big warehouses full of noisy hardware, but it’s actually very easy for anyone to get into. The BlockChance Bitcoin Ticket Miner turns solo mining into more of a low-power lottery that can sit quietly on your desk without you needing to do a thing, and it’s on sale. Instead of paying $149.99, right now, this Bitcoin Ticket Miner is on sale for $49.97, but that ends very soon. Instead of joining a huge mining pool for tiny payouts, this device sends solo “tickets” to the Bitcoin network for a chance at a full block reward. It runs at about 1,000 KH/s, which is roughly 18 times more hashing power than many hobby ticket miners, so it can submit far more tickets in the same amount of time. The screen on the front shows your current hashrate, ticket activity, pool connection, and simple probability stats, so you can actually see what it’s doing without opening a terminal window. Everything runs on its own hardware with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so you plug it in with the included USB-C cable, connect it to your network, and let it run without a separate computer. Power draw is around 18 watts, which is less than a typical light bulb, and there is a quiet fan to keep it cool enough that you can keep it on all the time. It’s still important to remember that solo mining is based on chance, and there’s no guaranteed payout, but it’s a fun way to give yourself the opportunity.

Macworld TL;DR: This MacBook Air is only $199.97 right now, and shipping is free. The RAM shortage is already starting to affect computer prices, but it hasn’t touched refurbished devices yet. If you need a low-cost computer for the basics, this MacBook Air is still a good option for only $199.97 (MSRP $999). Inside, this MacBook has a 1.8GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 128GB solid-state drive. That combination is enough for web browsing, note-taking, light photo work, and office productivity. The 13.3-inch display has a 1440×900 resolution, which is sharp enough for documents and video without hammering the battery. You also get Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so you can connect to wireless networks, headphones, and other accessories without hassle. Fully charged, the battery can last up to 12 hours, which gives you plenty of room during busy days when you can’t sit down at an outlet. This unit has a Grade “A/B” refurbished rating, which means it’s fully tested but may have light scuffs or small marks on the case. That’s also why the price is so low. It can update to macOS Monterey, which keeps it compatible with most modern software, though it will not move to newer macOS 26 releases. You also get a MagSafe charger in the box and a limited third-party warranty. Shipping is free. Right now, you can get a MacBook Air on sale for $199.97. Sale ends February 22 at 11:59 p.m. PT.

Apple @ Work is exclusively brought to you by Mosyle, the only Apple Unified Platform. Mosyle is the only solution that integrates in a single professional-grade platform all the solutions necessary to seamlessly and automatically deploy, manage & protect Apple devices at work.

If you worked in IT during the 2000s and the early 2010s, you know that printer driver management was the absolute worst part of the job and was a huge part of OS X upgrades. Manufacturers delayed support for the new OS X for months, and it was generally just an absolute nightmare. Then the iPhone and iPad arrived and changed everything… slowly. About Apple @ Work: Bradley Chambers managed an enterprise IT network from 2009 to 2021. Through his experience deploying and managing firewalls, switches, a mobile device management system, enterprise grade Wi-Fi, 1000s of Macs, and 1000s of iPads, Bradley will highlight ways in which Apple IT managers deploy Apple devices, build networks to support them, train users, stories from the trenches of IT management, and ways Apple could improve its products for IT departments. When Apple introduced AirPrint in 2010, most enterprise IT admins dismissed it. It looked like a consumer feature designed for printing photos at home on a $50 printer. As the iPhone and iPad infiltrated the corporate world, something interesting happened. Executives started bringing their iPads to work and wanted to print PDFs, and they did not want to hear about drivers or IP addresses. They just wanted to hit “Print” and have it work like it did at home. Instead of Apple adopting the complicated world of printer drivers, the rest of the industry had to adopt AirPrint. The iPhone forced the industry to adapt Apple is so popular now that AirPrint has become something every printer vendor has to support. In the early days, getting an enterprise multifunction printer to work with an iPad was a nightmare of third-party apps and gateways. I used multiple of them, and they were kinda junky. Today, the sheer volume of Apple devices used at work forced companies like HP, Canon, Xerox, and Ricoh eventually to support AirPrint. Over time, almost all MFPs built in native support for AirPrint. They had no choice. Not supporting AirPrint became a non-starter for purchases and leases. This shift didn’t just help mobile users. It eventually changed how we manage Macs as well. We moved away from the era of finding the perfect driver for the vast majority of our printing to AirPrint becoming the standard printing protocol. No, not every use case can use AirPrint, but it has gone from AirPrint being the exception to the rule. You could lease a couple of Ricoh printers and use AirPrint right out of the box without ever touching a driver. PaperCut and the modern print stack While AirPrint provided the connection, it didn’t solve the enterprise need for accounting, quotas, and security. That is where solutions like PaperCut have bridged the gap. PaperCut is a great example of Apple’s impact on the enterprise. It works incredibly well with macOS, but it is so easy for iPad and iPhone via a configuration profile. It is easy enough for end users to install it, but gives IT the control it needs. In a modern setup, you don’t manually add printers. You deploy a configuration profile, log in through your SSO, and then you are up and running. This profile tells the iOS device or Mac exactly where printer queues are. The user walks up, hits print, and the job goes to a virtual queue. They release it at the printer with a badge tap or a simple pin code. It is seamless. Wrap up We often talk about how Apple changed mobile device management, but we rarely give them credit for fixing printing. I simply don’t manage printer drivers today. It is 100% AirPrint. By forcing the industry to adopt a driverless standard, they saved IT admins everywhere from the pain of printer-specific drivers, and it has also made macOS upgrades a lot more seamless. It took a while to get here, but the combination of native AirPrint hardware and software like PaperCut has finally made enterprise printing a solved problem.

It looks like our first major Apple product announcements of 2026 are right around the corner, with Apple announcing a "special Apple Experience" for members of the media scheduled for March 4 where we're expecting to see them get hands-on time with several newly announced products. In other Apple news this week, the first betas of iOS 26.4 and related updates include some new features and enhancements, while we heard a bit more about the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max coming later this year, so read on below for all the details on these stories and more! Top Stories Apple Announces Special Event in New York, London, and Shanghai on March 4 Apple this week invited members of the media to a "special Apple Experience" taking place simultaneously in New York, London, and Shanghai on Wednesday, March 4. Rather than a traditional Apple event, it sounds like these "experiences" will be opportunities for the media to get hands-on time with a variety of products being announced at the start of or slightly before the event time. It actually sounds like we may be getting several days of press release announcements in the first part of the week, culminating in the media experiences on Wednesday. While we don't know exactly what products will be announced that week, there are a host of new products expected in the near future including the iPhone 17e, M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro models, new iPads, and more. Everything New in iOS 26.4 Beta 1 Following last week's release of iOS 26.3, Apple this week seeded the first betas of iOS 26.4 and related updates. While it doesn't include the more personalized Siri we had been hoping for, there are a bunch of changes and new features in the update. One of the more interesting changes being prepped for in the release is support for CarPlay video over AirPlay, which will allow users to stream Apple TV and other video content to their car's infotainment screen while their vehicle is parked. Five iPhone 18 Pro Features Revealed in New Report While the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max should have very similar designs to their predecessors, they are likely to be getting an array of new features and upgrades to attract customers. Research analyst Jeff Pu recently outlined five upgrades he's expecting to see in the new models, and we've recapped a full list of ten reasons why you might want to wait for the new models if you're considering buying now. Apple Reveals How Many iPhones Are Running iOS 26 With the transition to the controversial new Liquid Glass design in iOS 26, some users appear to have been holding off on upgrading, but new data released by Apple last week suggests the impact is relatively small. Apple adoption data shows roughly the same share of devices are running iOS 26 at this point as were running iOS 18 a year ago, although the company did wait three weeks longer to release data this year. So while it appears adoption is lagging a bit this year, it's not a massive difference. Toyota Rolling Out Apple Wallet Car Keys on iPhone Toyota, the world's largest car manufacturer, is finally rolling out support for Apple's digital car key feature, allowing users to lock, unlock, and start compatible vehicles from the Wallet app on their iPhone or Apple Watch.

Apple Launching New 'Sales Coach' App Apple plans to launch a rebranded "Sales Coach" app on the iPhone and iPad later this month, according to a source familiar with the matter. "Sales Coach" will arrive as an update to Apple's existing "SEED" app, and it will continue to provide sales tips and training resources to Apple Store and Apple Authorized Reseller employees around the world. For example, there are articles and videos highlighting everything from reasons to upgrade to a newer iPhone to popular iPad features.

Apple has been developing a more affordable version of the MacBook, and it's rumored to be launching in under two weeks. This is going to be one of Apple's most unique Macs, because there hasn't really been anything quite like it before. We've rounded up everything we know about the low-cost MacBook ahead of its March debut. Design Rumors about the MacBook's design make it sound a lot like the MacBook Air. It will have an aluminum chassis in various colors, and a 12.9-inch or 13-inch display, depending on the rumor. It's possible the low-cost MacBook will have a thin and light design because it's going to use a lower power A-series chip that doesn't require a lot of heat dissipation, but that's not yet confirmed. Apple used to have a 12-inch MacBook with a thin design and a low-power Core M chip, and it's been suggested that this new MacBook could be something of a revival of that machine. Thinner and lighter typically means more expensive with Apple products, so a super slim design might not be what Apple is optimizing for. Making the low-cost MacBook thinner than the MacBook Air could just confuse the MacBook lineup. With the low-cost iPad, Apple keeps the price down by using older display technology that's not as thin, so we could see that same strategy with the low-cost MacBook. A thicker chassis and a super efficient chip could mean a long battery life, which would be ideal for an educational environment. Colors The MacBook is going to come in a selection of fun colors, and Apple has tested light yellow, light green, blue, pink, silver, and dark gray, according to Bloomberg. Not all of those colors are likely to ship, but it sounds like we'll get at least four of them. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo thinks the MacBook will come in yellow, silver, blue, and pink, which would be the same colors that Apple offers for the iPad. A-Series Chip The most consistent rumor we've heard about the MacBook is its planned chip. Rather than an M-series Mac chip, Apple is planning to use an A-series chip. The low-cost MacBook is expected to use the A18 Pro chip, which Apple first debuted in the iPhone 16 Pro. The A18 Pro uses a second-generation 3-nanometer process. It has a 6-core CPU with four performance cores and two efficiency cores, along with a 6-core GPU and a 16-core Neural Engine for AI-based tasks. In Geekbench benchmarks, the A18 Pro has an average single-core score of 3451, and a multi-core score of 8572. For comparison, the M4 iPad Pro earns a single-core score of 3694 and a multi-core score of 13732 (Apple's next MacBook Air is going to use the M4 chip). The A18 Pro outperforms the M1, which is the chip that Apple kept around in a lower-cost version of the MacBook Air for several years. An A18 MacBook wouldn't be too far off from the M4 Mac/iPad chips in terms of single-core performance, but there would be a difference in multi-core performance. A MacBook with the A18 chip would be more than powerful enough for day-to-day use like web browsing, document creation, watching videos, and even light photo and video editing. It won't be ideal for system-intensive games or tasks like 4K video editing and 3D rendering, but it will do almost everything an iPhone or iPad can do. Apple is developing the low-cost MacBook with students in mind, and it sounds like it will be the Apple equivalent of the affordable Chromebook PCs that are often used by students. RAM Macs start with 16GB RAM, but the iPhone 16 Pro has 8GB RAM, the minimum for Apple Intelligence. We can expect an A18 Pro MacBook to have at least 8GB RAM so it can support Apple Intelligence, but it's possible Apple will give it the 16GB that all Macs have. Storage The MacBook Air starts with 256GB of storage, but Apple could possibly launch the low-cost MacBook with 128GB. Ports The A18 Pro chip in the iPhone 16 Pro models doesn't support Thunderbolt, so the MacBook will be limited to USB-C (10GB/s) and won't offer Thunderbolt speeds. That will limit display connectivity, so it's likely the A18 Pro MacBook will only support a single external display. Naming It's not really clear what Apple will name the low-cost Mac notebook. We have the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro, so it's entirely possible it will be called "MacBook." Apple has used the MacBook name multiple times in the past, and it's not in use at the moment. Price Pricing on the MacBook Air starts at $999, and the low-cost MacBook is expected to be priced much lower. Apple probably won't want to undercut its iPad pricing by too much. The low-cost iPad with A16 chip starts at $349, and the iPad Air with M2 chip starts at $599. A price between $599 and $799 could make the most sense because it wouldn't be as expensive as the MacBook Air or iPad Pro, but would come in at or just over the iPad Air's cost. $599 would be on par with some of the highly rated Chromebook options that people often purchase for school use, while a $699 or $799 price would be in the same general pricing area, but a little more of a premium price tag. $599 is also the cost of the iPhone 16e, Apple's most affordable iPhone that uses a slightly less powerful A18 chip. Launch Date Rumors suggest that the low-cost MacBook will be introduced at or just before Apple's March 4 Special Experience that's taking place in New York, London, and Shanghai. Apple could announce the MacBook in a press release ahead of the experience. Select members of the media have been invited to the mini event, and it's likely to provide them with a chance to try the new MacBook and other new devices.This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums10:00 pmPresident Trump imposes new 10% global U.S. import tariff
