iPhone 17e Hands-On: What's New and What's Not Apple's latest low-cost iPhone launched yesterday, and we picked up the iPhone 17e to see how it compares to the iPhone 16e that came before it, and how it measures up to the iPhone 17 lineup.
Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos.
Apple didn't update the design of the iPhone 17e, so it still has the look of an iPhone 14, which is the iPhone that Apple used as a base for the iPhone 16e. There's a notch on the display with no Dynamic Island, but Apple did make a few changes to modernize the iPhone 17e.
The iPhone 16e didn't have MagSafe, which was a major hassle, but the iPhone 17e does. MagSafe has been fully embraced by both Apple and accessory makers, so it's difficult to find accessories that don't use MagSafe. Adding MagSafe opens up a whole new range of options for cases and chargers, plus it means wireless charging is now 15W instead of 7.5W.
There's still a limited color palette for the iPhone 17e, but there is a light pink model in addition to the black and white options this year. The soft pink is a subtle shade that looks nice in person, and it's not too Barbie pink or too baby pink. Ceramic Shield 2 is new for the front glass this year, meaning the iPhone 17e should be more resistant to scratches.
Like the iPhone 17, the iPhone 17e uses the A19 chip, which is the latest A-series chip, though the iPhone 17e version has one fewer GPU core. The A19 offers incredible performance for a low-cost iPhone, but you might not notice much in the way of day-to-day speed improvements coming from an iPhone 16e. If you're coming from an older iPhone like an iPhone 8, X, XR, XS, 11, or similar, the difference will be night and day.
Base storage has been upgraded to 256GB, and Apple doesn't offer a 128GB option anymore. There wasn't a change in starting price with the storage update, which is a major plus.
The iPhone 17e has many of the same compromises as the iPhone 16e. There's still a single-lens rear camera with no Telephoto or Ultra Wide lens, there's a notch on the display, and it now lacks the 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate Apple added to the rest of the iPhone 17 lineup.
If you don't mind having one camera lens to work with and won't miss ProMotion, the iPhone 17e is an excellent deal. It's priced starting at $599, which makes it $200 cheaper than the iPhone 17.Related Roundup: iPhone 17eBuyer's Guide: iPhone 17e (Buy Now)This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

iPhone 17e hands-on: Apple finally got the entry level iPhone right [Video] Apple has attempted for years to give us an entry-level and budget-minded iPhone. First, we had the iPhone 5c with all its vibrant colors, then we got the iPhone SE line, and then last year Apple introduced the iPhone 16e. But these iPhones always came with compromises that made them hard to recommend, like limited storage, key missing features like MagSafe, or outdated hardware. With the new iPhone 17e, I think Apple may have finally solved that problem. The iPhone 17e is Apple’s first true budget-friendly iPhone that is worth recommending to the masses.

First MacBook Neo teardown praises ‘absolutely amazing’ repairability Macworld
Our reviewer calls it the perfect gateway Mac. But if that’s not enough to make you like the surprisingly affordable MacBook Neo, the first teardown of the device has revealed another factor in its favor: repairability.
A new video from the Australian YouTube channel TECH RE-NU demonstrates what the presenter describes as a “speedrun disassembly” of the MacBook Neo, from unscrewing the bottom plate to removing the trackpad. Without appearing to rush in any way, the presenter achieves this in double-quick time, while praising the way that the Neo’s simple construction lends itself to disassembly and easy repair.
When the speakers are popped out, they comment on the lack of sticky tabs. The battery lifts out easily (once the 18 screws are removed), and there’s no sticky adhesive. The audio jack is “nice and modular.” And while there is “a little bit” of adhesive on the trackpad, the presenter says that’s not the end of the world. Overall it’s a highly positive evaluation.
“We’ve done this in less than 100 minutes,” they say, while a caption points out that it’s actually been six. “Which is absolutely amazing for an Apple laptop. I can’t say we’ve ever had a Mac that looks as repairable or as modular as this one.
“It’s just super straightforward, elegant design. Apple has kept the costs down, [it’s] got the simplicity up, and that’s just meant a really repairable, very easy-to-open laptop.”
As the presenter notes, Apple designers have not always been this kind to repairers.
Last year the iPhone 16e was criticised by iFixit for the “terrible design” of its USB-C port, although other elements were received more favorably. A few years earlier the same site gave the iPhone 15 Pro Max a repairability score of just 4 out of 10 and complained about the company’s “ongoing constriction of repair freedoms through its restrictive parts pairing system.” And that’s before we even get into the “excruciating gauntlet of hurdles” presented by Apple’s self-repair program.
The issue, generally, has been that Apple receives revenue if you get your devices repaired at an Apple Store or accredited partner, so the company is incentivised to gatekeep the process. On the other hand, public praise of a product’s repairability can only help sales, so perhaps the Neo will herald the start of a new Apple strategy in more way than one.
M6 MacBook Pro: Six new features coming later this year Apple has a new M6 MacBook Pro rumored to launch later this year with a total design overhaul. Here are six new features expected with the M6 MacBook Pro.

Google Maps Adds Gemini AI-Powered 'Ask Maps' Feature and 3D Immersive Navigation Google today added Gemini AI to Google Maps, enabling a new Ask Maps feature. Gemini in maps can answer complex, real-world questions that Google says "a map could never answer before."
There is a new Ask Maps button where Google Maps users can get answers to specific questions like "is there a public tennis court with lights on that I can play at tonight?" Google says that finding information like that would have taken a lot of sifting through reviews in the past, but now Google Maps can provide an answer with a custom map.
The feature can be used for trip planning, and it is able to provide tailored responses based on prior searches or saved information in the app. Google Maps can build a trip itinerary using information from more than 300 million places, including reviews from the Google community.
Along with Ask Maps, Google also introduced Immersive Navigation, which Google says is the biggest update to driving in Google Maps in over a decade. There is a 3D view that displays buildings, overpasses, and terrain, and Google Maps will highlight important road details like lanes, crosswalks, traffic lights, and stop signs when providing directions.
Google says that the app will have a new spatial understanding of the route that it's providing, which is made possible with Gemini models. Gemini analyzes real-world imagery from Street View and aerial photos to provide new details.
The updated navigation provides a broader route view with more information about what's coming ahead, more details about tradeoffs with alternate routes, and route previews for planning parking and other actions.
Ask Maps is rolling out in the U.S. and India on iOS and Android, with the feature set to expand to the desktop version of Google Maps soon. Immersive Navigation is rolling out in the U.S. today, though not all users will see it at first. Google says availability will expand over the coming months to eligible iOS and Android devices, plus CarPlay and Android Auto.Tags: Google, Google MapsThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

HomePod rumors: All we know about HomePod mini 2, HomePod Touch & HomePad hub Macworld
Apple’s HomePod lineup may be on the verge of its biggest shake-up since launch with multiple new products coming from Apple.
Among the new products are:
A long-awaited HomePod mini 2 update, with updated internals and new colors. This is expected to arrive first.
A HomePod Touch, or a HomePod with a built-in display. This would be designed to address long-standing usability issues by offering a touchscreen alternative to Siri.
An entirely new category of device: a HomePod-based smart hub, sometimes referred to as the HomePad or HomeHub, combining a speaker, display, and advanced home-control features.
Security camera and other accessories are considered to be part of Apple’s smart home roadmap.
In this article, we round up all the latest rumors and reports surrounding Apple’s three (or more) upcoming HomePod products, from expected release timelines and hardware upgrades to Apple Intelligence features and potential pricing, covering everything Apple may have planned for the future of its smart speakers and home hubs.
HomePod mini 2: Rumors & release date
Foundry
Rumored release: Early-mid 2026
Possible changes: New red color, major processor upgrade, improved connectivity
Apple introduced the original HomePod mini in November 2020, making it long overdue for an update.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman had indicated that a new HomePod mini could arrive toward the end of 2025. In an August 2025 newsletter, referencing Apple code that briefly appeared, and was then withdrawn, he wrote: “The findings corroborate a lot of what I’ve reported, including that fresh Apple TV and HomePod mini models will arrive this fall.”
Obviously there was no new HomePod (or Apple TV) in 2025. But there could be soon. Current rumors point to an early 2026 release, with delays attributed to ongoing software development challenges related to Siri and Apple Intelligence.
HomePod mini 2 Design
New red color option rumored.
In September 2025, Gurman reported that Apple had tested a new red color option for the HomePod mini 2. Beyond cosmetic changes, the update is expected to focus primarily on internal improvements.
The overall design is likely to remain largely unchanged, but the internal hardware is expected to receive a meaningful refresh. The HomePod mini has not seen a hardware update since its debut, and Apple is reportedly keen to modernize it to support upcoming software features.
HomePod mini 2 New Features & Specs
The most consistent rumors point to a faster processor, improved connectivity and Apple Intelligence support. As Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman noted in August 2025: “We don’t know what, if anything, will be new with the speaker other than a faster chip, though Apple will likely keep the same design.”
The expectation is that the new HomePod mini 2 will get a much faster chip, possibly the S9, S10 or even the S11 – all a big improvement on the current S5 chip.
Wi-Fi 6E support is also expected, a notable upgrade from the current HomePod mini’s older Wi-Fi standard.
Upgraded Ultra Wideband is also likely, which would improve interactions like Handoff (transferring the playing track between Apple devices).
Additional rumored upgrades include:
Apple Intelligence Support: The new model is expected to feature a chip capable of supporting Apple Intelligence, which would allow it to benefit from Apple’s upcoming AI-enhanced Siri. However, it’s not guaranteed that there will be support for Apple Intelligence and the upgraded Siri at launch.
Improved Connectivity: Possible inclusion of Apple’s in-house N1 networking chip, potential Wi-Fi 6E support, and an upgraded U2 Ultra Wideband (UWB) chip for more seamless Handoff functionality.
Audio Enhancements: Some reports indicate the speaker could receive upgraded drivers for better sound quality and potentially official support for spatial audio/Dolby Atmos, a feature currently restricted to the full-sized HomePod. See: Five upgrades the HomePod mini needs.
Hardware Refinements: There is also speculation that Apple might introduce a removable power cable, similar to the 2nd-gen HomePod, to improve repairability.
HomePod 3 with screen: Rumors & release date of HomePod Touch
Foundry and Apple
Possible launch: Delayed until fall 2026
Display size: Touchscreen 6 and 7-inches
Software: Custom touchscreen operating system running apps like Weather, Calendar, Photos, HomeKit as well as Apple Music
The HomePod mini has a larger sibling and even bigger things are rumored for that model.
One of the HomePod’s biggest limitations is its reliance on Siri, which still struggles with complex commands. Many users end up controlling the speaker via their iPhone instead, which can be inconvenient and drain battery life. A built-in screen could provide a more direct and reliable way to interact with the device.
There has long been speculation Apple is working on a HomePod with a built-in display, which could be called HomePod Touch. This device is expected to feature a 6-7-inch touchscreen that would allow the HomePod to function as a smart hub with apps and visuals in addition a smart speaker.
This new HomePod would run homeOS or a similar touch-optimized UI for apps like Weather, Calendar, Photos, Apple Music, and HomeKit.
Apple has been working redesigning the HomePod to include a display for some time. Back in March 2023, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claimed Apple would “unveil a redesigned HomePod featuring a 7-inch panel.” Kuo initially expected this product to arrive in the first half of 2024, but that timeline slipped. In December 2024, he reported further delays had pushined the launch to after WWDC 2025, citing software development challenges. Then, in March 2025, Kuo suggested the device had been delayed again, due to Apple Intelligence setbacks.
Current speculation suggests a possible release in the later half of 2026, with the release slipping as the major updates to Siri and Apple’s AI platform have been further delayed. Alternatively, the HomePod Touch may gain AI related features as part of a later software update.
HomePod with display incoming?Foundry
HomePod Touch Features & Specs
As with the HomePod mini 2, the touchscreen HomePod is expected to feature a chip capable of supporting the AI-enhanced Siri, but it will also need to support a custom touchscreen operating system, possibly derived from tvOS. Given the demands of such a touchscreen interface and advanced software, this would likely mean A-series or even M-series silicon, possibly an A17 Pro.
Rather than just being a speaker with a screen, it is thought the device will be a central smart home controller with enhanced HomeKit and Matter device control, potentially rivalling Google Nest Hub and Amazon Echo Show devices.
Other expected features include:
Specs: Apple’s N1 networking chip, Wi-Fi 6E support, and an upgraded U2 Ultra Wideband chip for improved device handoff.
Modular design: Some rumors point to a modular design, where a screen-based hub could magnetically dock onto a full-size HomePod speaker. This could allow the device to function as a stationary high-fidelity speaker while also supporting FaceTime calls and smart home management.
Display: The display is widely rumored to measure around 7-inches, putting it in direct competition with smart displays from Amazon and Google.

HomePod Touch Design
Unlike current HomePods, which rely on a small LED surface for controls and animations, this model is expected to feature a 7-inch full display capable of showing useful information and acting as a touchscreen control interface.
Some time ago Swiss website Handy Abovergleich and designer Eric Huismann created a series of concept illustrations of how this new generation of HomePod could look. Here’s how they imagine the HomePod Show—a speaker with a camera and a small touchscreen—could look.
Foundry
However, this updated HomePod could offer a lot more than a screen to tap when you want to choose a playlist or skip a track. There are rumors that suggest putting a screen on HomePod could transform it into a new device entirely.
HomePad smart hub: Rumors & release date for smart display with robot arm
Possible launch: Late 2026
Strategy: Brand new category of products
HomePad release date
Apple’s first-ever smart home display had been rumored to launch in the spring of 2026, but it’s been delayed due to issues with Siri, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. He claims the hardware has been ready for some time, according to anonymous sources with knowledge of the matter.
Another leaker, known as Kosutami, who has made accurate predictions in the past, posted on X on March 5 to predict: “Autumn. Home. Integrated with Pad. Now coming.” That somewhat cryptic post doesn’t necessarily refer to the HomePad, but it seems likely.
What is the HomePad?
Apple has reportedly been exploring a broader smart home strategy for years, and the HomePad could be its most ambitious step yet.
As far back as April 2021, Mark Gurman described a high-end device combining a HomePod speaker, a touchscreen, and a camera mounted on a robotic arm that could follow the user around the room during video calls. Gurman has made various references to this over the years.
Reports suggest Apple may be planning multiple smart home hub products, potentially split into two tiers:
Low-end smart display (J490): A stationary device with an approximately 7-inch screen, designed for wall mounting or docking. It would focus on HomeKit control and FaceTime calls.
High-end robotic hub (J595): A more advanced version featuring a display mounted on a robotic arm. This “Luxo Jr.-like” device could function as a videoconferencing system and home security tool, though it may not arrive until late 2026 or even 2027.
A revamped, AI-powered Siri is expected to be central to the experience – and its ongoing development is widely believed to be the main reason these products have yet to launch.

HomePad Smart Hub Design, Features & Specs
Speculation regarding the HomePad’s internal specifications and software capabilities includes:
Processing Power: Internal code suggests the device, codenamed J490, may be powered by the A18 chip, which is capable of supporting advanced Apple Intelligence features.
Operating System: The hub will likely run a version of TVos that incorporates iOS-like features. For instance, the inclusion of the “ChatKit” framework in recent software betas suggests the HomePad may support iMessage and texting, features not currently available on Apple TV or standard HomePods.
Kitchen Integration: A new “CookingKit” framework and expanded food sections in Apple News indicate that kitchen assistance, such as searching for recipes by ingredient, could be a primary selling point.
Entertainment: Beyond home control, the device is expected to function as an entertainment hub for streaming music and video, as well as making FaceTime calls via a built-in camera.
Advanced Home Control: Code found in the iOS 26 Home app describes an “Adaptive Temperature” feature, which could allow the HomePad to offer more granular control over smart thermostats, including energy-saving optimizations based on local electricity rates.
Camera: There are suggestions that the device could combines a HomePod with a camera, or place a camera on a robot arm. This camera could also be used to recognize gestures. Some years ago a patent was filed that related to a future HomePod that could interpret 3D hand gestures. That patent describes a HomePod that can “interpret three-dimensional hand gestures as a means of controlling the device so as to execute an action or function.”
New HomePod Prices
The current prices for the HomePods are as follows:
HomePod: $299/£299
HomePod mini: $99/£99
We don’t expect prices to change for the existing configurations. The HomePod mini is likely to remain at the sub-$100 price point.
However, a HomePod with a built-in screen could command a higher price. It may launch as a separate product altogether, potentially starting around $399 / £399, or higher, depending on features.
What is on Apple’s Smart Home Roadmap
Apple’s smart-home roadmap is expected to accelerate in 2026 and beyond, as the company expands its Home ecosystem with new hardware, AI features and services designed to compete with Amazon and Google.
Ongoing: Apple continues to lean on the Matter standard to increase device compatibility. Updates like Matter 1.5 have added support for security cameras and energy management, which Apple is expected to integrate into the Home app.
February 2026: On February 10, 2026, Apple ended support for its legacy HomeKit architecture. This transition removed the ability to use an iPad as a home hub, restricting that role to the Apple TV 4K or HomePod.
Spring – mid 2026: Launch of new HomePod mini.
Later in 2026: Apple intends to overhaul Siri. A completely redesigned, LLM-based Siri is expected to debut in early 2026 to power the new smart hubs. Previous delays in the smart home roadmap were largely attributed to Siri’s development “snags”
September 2026: iOS 27 (expected September 2026) may include AI vision recognition, allowing cameras to recognize specific users and their actions to trigger automations while maintaining privacy.
Fall 2026: Launch of Apple’s HomePad device.
Other Smart Home products coming from Apple
Apple Security Camera: Reports indicate Apple plans to enter the security camera market with its own hardware. Code discovered in iOS 26.2 includes a new “isFirstPartyAccessory” flag, suggesting support for Apple-branded cameras and doorbells that integrate deeply with the ecosystem.

PSA: Neo won’t work with some MacBook USB-C hubs Macworld
While the MacBook Neo’s USB-C ports look the same as the Thunderbolt ports on a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, Apple’s new budget laptop won’t work with every USB-C hub on the market, including some of Macworld’s favorites.
Since USB-C is forward- and backward-compatible, most single-port USB-C hubs work just fine with the Neo’s USB 3 port, even if they’re made for Thunderbolt or USB 4. However, some USB-C hubs—such as the Anker 547, Satechi Pro Hub Max, and Plugable AMS–5IN1E—take advantage of both of the MacBook’s side-by-side ports to supply both charging and data transfer by having a double-USB-C connector from hub to Mac. By using both ports, the bandwidth is not compromised by the need to supply power to the laptop, and they can attach neatly to the left side of the Mac without blocking any connections.
Since the Neo’s USB-C ports are not equal–the rear USB 3 port boasts a data rate of 10Gbps while the front USB 2 port is really only fit for charging or attaching a low-data device such as a wired mouse or keyboard. As such, you need to make sure that you connect single-port hubs to the rear 10Gbps port on the Neo to get full speeds (Apple helpfully warns you if you try to connect something to the wrong Neo port).
Those different ports are a bigger problem if the hub is not set up in the same formation. Take the Anker 547 USB-C Hub (7-in-2, for MacBook), a fine USB4 hub that adds seven ports, including a USB-C data port, two legacy USB-A ports, an HDMI port, and SD and microSD card slots.
Anker
On the MacBook Air and Pri, this hub uses the rear USB-C port for passthrough charging, and the other for downstream data/monitor and data transfer. Since the MacBook Neo’s rear port supports up to 10Gbps of data and the front port is limited to just 480Mbps, it’s simply not up to the task of fetching video data from the Neo or really doing much more—aside from charging—or supporting a connected wired mouse. Even the USB-A ports on most hubs are 10 times faster than the Neo’s second USB-C port can handle.
Anker
An example of an Anker hub that does work with the Neo is the Anker 555 USB-C Hub (above) that connects to the MacBook via a single USB-C connector.
Satechi
The Satechi Pro Hub Max (above) is also another dual-USB-C hub that’s not compatible with the MacBook Neo. Below you can see what each of the two USB-C connectors controls in the hub.
Satechi
Since only the rear port on the MacBook Neo supports video output, connecting the Pro Hub Max to the MacBook Neo won’t support HDMI, and the rest of the ports would also be significantly limited to USB 2.0 speeds.
The Satechi OntheGo 7-in-1 Multiport Adapter is an example of a hub that works with the Neo.Simon Jary
Plugable told Macworld that it is awaiting the arrival of a MacBook Neo to test it with all of its devices, including its 5-port AMS–5IN1E hub. However, it expects the AMS-5IN1E will be limited in functionality when connected to the Neo.
Plugable
That hub’s left USB-C male connector is a direct “bridge” between the MacBook and the female USB-C port on the Neo. This means that the USB-C port on the AMS-5IN1E should behave exactly like the rear port on the MacBook Neo (that is, 10Gbps data, charging, and DisplayPort).
However, the right USB-C male connector connects the other functionalities of the hub, which are the two USB 3.0 ports, audio jack, and Ethernet port. Plugable suspects that both the USB ports and Ethernet port will therefore be downgraded to USB 2.0 speeds. Presuming this is the case, Plugable believes that its hub will likely still be useful for lightweight port expansion on the Neo for users who want to connect a wired mouse and keyboard, but won’t live up to its full potential.
An example of a Plugable hub that does work with the MacBook Neo is the 9-in-1 Plugable Multiport Adapter, pictured below showing its single USB-C connector.
The 9-in-1 Plugable Multiport Adapter is a hub that connects to the MacBook via a single USB-C connector. Attach it to the Neo’s rear USB-C port and everything will be fine. Plugable
The MacBook Neo should be fully capable of working with single male-connector USB-C hubs if they connect via the rear/left port on the Neo. Just avoid any hubs that feature two male connectors as they will fail on the lower-speed Neo port.

Tim Cook salutes ‘the crazy ones’ ahead of Apple’s 50th anniversary Macworld
Apple isn’t done unveiling new stuff this month. Following the launch of the MacBook Neo, Apple has launched a new Instagram account, helloapple, that’s clearly timed to promote its new affordable laptop and other products to Gen Z and Gen Alpha.
For one of its first posts, Apple has published a letter from Tim Cook titled “50 Years of Thinking Different.” Also on Apple.com, it marks Apple’s upcoming 50th anniversary on April 1 and celebrates Apple’s “people who think different.”

The logo features Apple’s original rainbow of colors scribbled with an Apple Pencil, while the letter quotes from Apple’s iconic “Here’s to the crazy ones” text that fueled the Think Different ad campaign that ran from 1997-2002:
If you’ve taught us anything, it’s that the people crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.
So here’s to the crazy ones.
The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
It ends with “Here’s to you,” followed by Tim Cook’s signature.
The letter is another indication that Apple sees the MacBook Neo as the start of a new era. The new laptop, which went on sale Wednesday and sold out its initial run in most colors, joins a long line of Apple devices that changed the landscape both within and outside the company: iPod, iPhone, iMac, and new MacBook Neo.
It’s unclear whether Apple has any new products planned for its 50th anniversary on April 1st, but it’s clear that Tim Cook and Apple are once again thinking differently.
Yes, you can run Parallels on a MacBook Neo, but you might not want to The Parallels Desktop virtualization tool is confirmed to work on Apple's new MacBook Neo, but there are enough caveats to suggest that you'd be better off buying a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro instead.Apple's MacBook Neo works just fine with Parallels DesktopParallels Desktop has long been the go-to app for people who need to run virtualized machines on a Mac. It's a great way for people to use Windows apps without having to use a separate machine or switch entirely.With the release of the MacBook Neo, some had wondered whether its A18 Pro chip would be capable of running Parallels Desktop. The A18 Pro first debuted in the iPhone 16 Pro, and this is the first time a Mac has used an iPhone A-series chip. M-series chips are normally found in Apple's computers.

Is the MacBook Neo worth buying?

The MacBook Neo is ideal if you want the cheapest possible MacBook while still getting Apple’s macOS.
Reasons to buy
Affordable price
Long battery life
Lightweight design
Reasons to skip
Limited RAM options
Fewer ports
Less powerful than MacBook Air
People are drawn to the MacBook Neo for several key reasons:
Affordability: The primary draw is the breakthrough price point. At $599, it is $500 cheaper than the current M5 MacBook Air. This low entry price makes it a “golden ticket” for those who previously found MacBooks too expensive.
Premium Design and Build Quality: Despite its budget label, the Neo maintains Apple’s high manufacturing standards. It features an all-aluminum chassis with no plastic parts, a rarity for laptops at this price range. As our reviewer noted, it feels just as premium as a MacBook Air, avoiding the “cheap” feel of competing plastic PCs. It also comes in a variety of vibrant colors, including Indigo, Blush (pink), Citrus (yellow-green), and Silver.
Sufficient Performance for Everyday Tasks: While it uses a mobile-class processor, the A18 Pro’s efficiency allows it to handle general productivity with ease. You’ll be able to write documents, create spreadsheets, build presentations, visit websites, check email, manage your calendar, video conference with people, and a lot more with ease on the MacBook Neo
Seamless Ecosystem Integration: For the billions of iPhone users, the Neo offers a low-cost way to access the Apple ecosystem. It supports native integrations like iPhone Mirroring, Universal Clipboard, and iCloud sync. It allows users to “go all-in” on Apple – combining a Neo, iPhone 17e, and Apple Watch SE – for a total cost significantly lower than previous years.
Portability and Battery Life: At 2.7 pounds and 0.50 inches thick, the Neo is highly portable . While its battery life is lower than the Air or Pro models, it still offers up to 16 hours of video streaming or 11 hours of wireless web browsing, which is sufficient for a full day of school or general work.
Who should buy MacBook Neo
Students and Schools: The $499 education price makes it a direct competitor to Chromebooks in the K-12 and college markets.
First-Time Mac Buyers: It serves as an affordable “gateway” for iPhone users who want seamless integration (iCloud, AirDrop, iMessage) without spending $1,000+.
Casual Users: Grandparents or anyone whose primary activities are web browsing, social media, and video calls.
Secondary Device Owners: Pro users who want a lightweight, inexpensive laptop for travel or vacations.

The Neo is positioned as Apple’s entry-level MacBook below the MacBook Air.
The 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air models were recently updated with the M5 chip . They remain the top choice for most users because they balance performance, battery life, and a thin design

Best place to buy the MacBook Neo
The obvious place to buy a MacBook Neo is Apple, but it’s not necessarily the best.
One benefit of buying from Apple is you could trade in your old Mac and get money off. We have an article explaining How to get money off with Apple’s trade-in program.
Buying directly from Apple also means you’ll get:
Full configuration options
Trade-in discounts
Student pricing
However, Apple rarely discounts Macs, so if you are looking for the best price you need to look elsewhere. Our price comparison tables will show the best prices for the two MacBook Neo models right now:

MacBook Neo FAQ
FAQ
1.
When was the MacBook Neo released?
March 2026.
2.
What chip does it use?
Apple A18 Pro.
3.
Why does MacBook Neo use an iPhone chip?
Apple uses an the A18 Pro chip, as first seen in the iPhone 16 for three main reasons:
Price: Apple’s decision to use an iPhone-class processor in the MacBook Neo – specifically the A18 Pro – represents a strategic shift aimed at creating a high-quality, entry-level laptop at a breakthrough price point.
Efficiency: Apple’s A-series chips are designed with the same fundamental architecture as the M-series Mac chips, making them uniquely suited for laptop tasks despite their mobile origins. This efficiency allows the Neo to handle everyday productivity – such as web browsing, streaming, and document editing – without the lag typically associated with budget Windows or ChromeOS devices.
Supply Chain: Apple is able to capitalize on existing “economies of scale”. Because the chip was previously used in the iPhone 16 Pro, the manufacturing processes are mature and highly optimized and Apple is able to maintain better margins on a low-cost device than its competitors.
The A18 Chip is adequate for the MacBook Neo’s intended market.
4.
Which Mac chip is the A18 Pro comparable to?
In our tests of the MacBook Neo the single core performance was faster than M3 and almost matched M4.
In multi-core it was closer to M1.
5.
Is it good for students?
Yes – it’s designed as a low-cost Mac that is suitable for students. Apple has discounted price of $499/£499 for education.
6.
Does MacBook Neo replace the MacBook Air?
No, it sits below the Air in Apple’s lineup.
7.
Is MacBook Neo worth it?
MacBook Neo is widely considered an exceptional value for specific users, particularly students, first-time Mac buyers, and those with basic computing needs. Starting at $599, it is the most affordable laptop Apple has ever released, yet it maintains a premium all-aluminum design that reviewers say feels like a $1,000 machine.

MacBook Neo is more repairable than any Apple laptop made in the last decade Apple's new MacBook Neo design makes it startlingly quick and simple to repair, with Self Service Repair program instructions proving the point.MacBook Neo's keyboard is now easier to repairApple first announced its Self Service Repair program back in 2021, and it was really a case of doing it before being forced to by law. It's slowly expanded out, launching first for the iPhone in April 2022, and later expanding to Macs.Throughout, it's been criticized for being expensive and for making users go through hoops to get the work done. Now, though, Apple appears to be embracing the Right to Repair pressures it has faced, and do so both with the program, and with its designs. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums
iPhone 17e vs. iPhone 16 Buyer's Guide: Which Low-Cost iPhone Should You Choose? The iPhone 17e just joined the iPhone lineup. Apple continues to sell the iPhone 16 as an alternative low-cost option, and while the two devices share many core features, there are still more than 25 differences between them to be aware of.
Following the launch of the iPhone 17 lineup and the iPhone Air, Apple discontinued the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, and reduced the price of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus by $100.
The iPhone 17e and iPhone 16 now represent the two least expensive iPhone models available directly from Apple, with just $100 between them. To justify this price gap, the iPhone 17e misses out on features such as the Dynamic Island, an Ultra Wide camera, and several newer connectivity technologies. However, it still offers strong performance thanks to the newer A19 chip, the same main rear camera, and long battery life. Here's everything that's different:

At a markedly more accessible price point, the iPhone 17e will likely be the go-to iPhone for many customers, particularly those buying on a budget. Like its predecessor, it makes relatively few compromises compared to the standard model and still delivers most of the features that matter for everyday use. In fact, the iPhone 17e now offers noticeably better performance than the iPhone 16 thanks to its newer A19 chip, as well as strong battery life aided by Apple's efficient C1X modem.
For many customers, the absence of an Ultra Wide camera, Camera Control, additional color options, and newer connectivity technologies such as Wi-Fi 7, Thread, and Ultra Wideband may not matter. The iPhone 17e also starts with more storage and costs $100 less than the iPhone 16, making it a compelling option for buyers who primarily care about performance, battery life, and overall value.
However, the iPhone 16 still offers several advantages. Features like the Dynamic Island, a brighter display with higher peak brightness outdoors, an Ultra Wide camera with macro photography, Spatial photo and video capture, and a wider range of video features give it a significantly more capable camera system. Additional hardware such as the Ultra Wideband chip, Thread connectivity, mmWave 5G, and Wi-Fi 7 may also be important for users who want the most complete feature set.
As a result, the decision between the two models is now less straightforward. Customers who want the best overall feature set, particularly when it comes to the camera and display, should consider the iPhone 16. On the other hand, those who prioritize performance, storage, battery life, and price will likely find the iPhone 17e to be the better value.Related Roundups: iPhone 16, iPhone 17eBuyer's Guide: iPhone 17e (Buy Now)Related Forum: iPhoneThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple’s folding iPhone ‘Ultra’ could cost under $2,000 Macworld
With the (somewhat) budget-focused iPhone 17e out of the way, leakers are free to focus on the more premium handsets which Apple will launch later in the year. And the most premium of these is the iPhone Fold, which has been the subject of several leaks this week.
The most useful of the new revelations, assuming the information is accurate this far from launch, comes from the prolific albeit somewhat unproven leaker Instant Digital. They claim to have details of the iPhone Fold’s storage tiers, plus Chinese pricing for each. According to a post on Weibo, the models will look like this:
256GB: RMB 15,999
512GB: RMB 17,999
1TB: RMB 19,999
Based on current conversion rates between the Chinese yuan and the U.S. dollar, that would equate to the following approximate price tags:
256GB: $2,330
512GB: $2,621
1TB: $2,913
But of course, Apple rarely uses strict currency conversion rates when selling products in overseas territories, as U.K. fans have discovered to their cost. A 256GB iPhone 17 Pro, for example, costs $1,099 in the U.S., which ought to translate to RMB 7,546; instead, that device currently costs RMB 8,999. And if we use that conversion rate (dividing the cost in yuan by 8.188 and adjusting for Apple’s usual pricing tiers), we’d end up with the following more palatable U.S. matrix:
256GB: $1,999
512GB: $2,199
1TB: $2,399
A starting price close to $2,000 might sound like a lot, but that’s actually a fair bit lower than we’ve been expecting. Sources had previously pointed to a whopping $2,399.
Elsewhere, the Korean-language site The Bell (via MacRumors) reports that the RAM in the iPhone Fold will be supplied by Samsung, and that there will be 12GB of it. That’s the same as the RAM allocation in the iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro, but perhaps we should be grateful if it even stays the same, given how much the price of that commodity has risen.
Finally, a new leaker, so take this with a big pinch of salt, has claimed the name of Apple’s first foldable will not be the iPhone Fold at all. An individual going by the handle WayLabs has claimed on Weibo that it will instead be called the iPhone Ultra. That isn’t an entirely absurd idea, given that Apple already uses that suffix on top-end products such as the Apple Watch Ultra and the Ultra versions of its M-class chips, so it’s not unprecedented. And a report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman earlier this week floated the idea of a line of “Ultra” devices.
Far less conventional is WayLabs’ prediction of the device’s starting price. Whereas Instant Digital predicted an entry point of RMB 15,999, WayLabs says only that it “may exceed 10,000,” a far lower threshold. For comparison, RMB 10,000 would translate to $1,456 using the current exchange rate, or just $1,221 using our more practical ratio. That’s barely any higher than the iPhone 17 Pro Max, which starts at $1,199. A bargain!

Perplexity’s Personal Computer is a Mac mini running an AI OS Macworld
While AI companies turn to powerful Nvidia GPUs for high-end AI workloads, at-home enthusiasts are consistently turning to an unlikely PC maker for their AI needs.
On Wednesday, Perplexity announced Personal Computer, an AI agent that “runs continuously, merging your local applications with Perplexity Computer.” The system runs on Perplexity’s “secure servers,” but what hardware does it all run on? An M4 Mac mini.
Perplexity explains that its Personal Computer “works in a secure environment with clear safeguards. Sensitive actions require approval, and every session includes a full audit trail. A kill switch gives users immediate control.” The platform was built on Perplexity’s existing foundation and ensures that every query runs in its own “secure sandbox.”
It’s not the first time Apple’s tiny PC made headlines as an AI tool. In January, social media was overrun with people running the free, open-source AI assistant Clawdbot on stacks of Mac minis before Anthropic killed the buzz.
Perplexity calls Personal Computer “more powerful than any AI system ever launched.” We don’t know yet which Mac mini it will be running on, but we assume it has the maximum RAM (64GB on the M4 Pro) model and a giant hard drive. It’s also unclear whether Apple is supplying the company with Mac minis or whether Perplexity is simply using off-the-shelf units.
It’s also not clear how Perplexity is selling this system, as there’s simply a waitlist with no pricing information. It’s worth noting that there have been strong rumors that Apple will be launching a new M5 Mac mini imminently, and the announcement doesn’t mention the chip or configuration of the machine.
Apple was rumored to be in talks to acquire Perplexity before it partnered with Google to use Gemini as the foundation for the new Siri.

MacBook Neo Teardown: Modular Ports, Glue-Less Battery, Zero Tape A teardown of the new MacBook Neo by Australian YouTube repair channel Tech Re-Nu reveals what may be the most modular and repair-friendly Mac laptop in recent times.
The Neo is shown being taken apart in just six minutes, suggesting Apple has prioritized simplicity across the board, using standard Torx screws (T3, T5, and T8) and a clean cable routing design.
To open the aluminum body, eight screws on the bottom are loosened, similar to the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. Inside, a tiny motherboard sits, surrounded by a stripped-back internal layout with minimal parts and no hinge covers.
The battery is secured by 18 screws and lifts straight out – there are no stretch-release adhesive tabs, and no sticky glue holding it in place. In fact, the teardown encountered zero tape throughout the entire disassembly, which is a first for a modern Mac.
The two USB-C ports, speakers, and the headphone jack are all modular, so the individual components can be swapped without replacing larger assemblies. The speakers, for example, come out with just four screws each and no adhesive. Indeed, the only adhesive found in the machine was a small amount on the trackpad where a cable connects it to the mainboard.
Tech Re-Nu does not entirely disassemble the Neo, but we know it is possible to remove the keyboard for repair without replacing the entire top case – which is a huge boost for any repairability score. Taken together, it looks like the $599 MacBook Neo is a lot more repairable than some might have expected for an Apple laptop.Related Roundup: MacBook NeoTag: TeardownBuyer's Guide: MacBook Neo (Buy Now)Related Forum: MacBook NeoThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

MacBook Neo's Keyboard Can Be Replaced Individually in Major Change Apple has published its MacBook Neo repair manual, and it reveals some big repairability news: the keyboard can be replaced individually.
For many years, replacing the keyboard in a MacBook has required replacing the entire Top Case, which refers to the top half of the aluminum shell surrounding the keyboard. For example, the latest MacBook Air has a "Top Case with Keyboard" part, and the latest MacBook Pro models have a "Top Case with Battery and Keyboard" part.
For the MacBook Neo, there are separate Keyboard, Keyboard with Touch ID, and Top Case parts, and Apple shows how to replace the keyboard individually. While there are still more than 40 screws involved to replace the keyboard on its own, the process is much easier than replacing an entire Top Case, which requires lots of disassembly.
More importantly for customers, the MacBook Neo's individual keyboard parts will likely be much more affordable when they become available on Apple's self-service store. In the U.S., Top Case parts for recent MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models cost around $400 to $600. The standalone Keyboard and Keyboard with Touch ID parts for the MacBook Neo will likely be hundreds of dollars cheaper by comparison, but exact pricing remains to be seen.
MacBook Neo launched on Wednesday, and it has been praised for its value and performance. Now, improved repairability is another positive.Related Roundup: MacBook NeoBuyer's Guide: MacBook Neo (Buy Now)Related Forum: MacBook NeoThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple CEO Tim Cook Shares '50 Years of Thinking Different' Letter Apple CEO Tim Cook today shared a "50 Years of Thinking Different" letter, ahead of the company's 50th anniversary on April 1, 2026.
Here is the full letter:Fifty years ago in a small garage, a big idea was born. Apple was founded on the simple notion that technology should be personal, and that belief — radical at the time — changed everything.
April 1st marks 50 years of Apple. From the first Apple computer to the Mac, from iPod to iPhone, iPad to Apple Watch and AirPods, as well as the services we use every day — the App Store, Apple Music, Apple Pay, iCloud, and Apple TV — we’ve spent five decades rethinking what’s possible and putting powerful tools into people’s hands. Through every breakthrough, one idea has guided us — that the world is moved forward by people who think different.
That’s because progress always begins with someone — an inventor or scientist, a student or storyteller — who imagines a better way, a new idea, a different path. That spirit has guided Apple from the start. But it has never belonged to us alone.
Every invention we bring into the world is just the beginning of a story. The most meaningful chapters are written by all of you — the people who use our technology to work, learn, dream, and discover. You’ve made breakthroughs and launched businesses. You’ve cheered up loved ones in the hospital and captured your toddler’s first steps. You’ve run marathons, written books, and rekindled friendships. You’ve chased your curiosity, found your new favorite song, and shared stories that connect us all.
In your hands, the tools we make have improved lives, and sometimes even saved them. And that is what inspires us — not what technology can do alone, but everything you can do with it.
At Apple, we’re more focused on building tomorrow than remembering yesterday. But we couldn’t let this milestone pass without thanking the millions of people who make Apple what it is today — our incredible teams around the world, our developer community, and every customer who has joined us on this journey. Your ideas inspire our work. Your trust drives us to do better. Your stories remind us of all we can accomplish when we think different.
If you’ve taught us anything, it’s that the people crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.
So here’s to the crazy ones.
The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
Here’s to you.Tag: Tim CookThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Foldable iPhone's 12GB RAM to Be Supplied by Samsung Apple's first foldable iPhone will feature 12GB of RAM supplied by Samsung, with the latter set to begin DRAM shipments in the second quarter of this year in line with Apple's production schedule.
Korea-based media outlet The Bell reports that Samsung was able to negotiate a substantially higher price than previous memory contracts with Apple, owing to tightening global memory supply amid the AI server build-out.
The price of a 12GB LPDDR5X module, which is already used in the iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro, has risen sharply from around $30 at the beginning of 2025 to roughly $70 at the start of this year.
Despite Apple's typical multi-vendor strategy, the company is said to be expanding the share of iPhone memory it sources from Samsung due to rapidly rising memory prices. Concentrating a much larger share of orders with Samsung should allow Apple to secure more predictable deliveries and potentially benefit from economies of scale, even as overall component costs rise.
That said, companies such as SK hynix and Micron are also believed to have secured DRAM purchase orders from Apple for its first foldable, though these are expected to enter the supply chain at a much later date.
Apple's book-style foldable will operate like a cross between an iPhone and an iPad, recent reports suggest. When closed, it will resemble a traditional slab-style iPhone, but when open, it will be closer to the size of the iPad mini. Rather than a tall design, Apple is using a wider design than its competitors, and it is expected to have a 4:3 aspect ratio.
The foldable iPhone or "iPhone Fold" is expected to launch in September alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.Tags: Foldable iPhone, SamsungThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Kuo: Touchscreens are coming to MacBooks, but not to Neo Macworld
The new MacBook Neo and M5 Pro/Max MacBook Pro laptops haven’t even been out for 48 hours, and we’re already looking to the next models. Right on cue, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has offered some insight on Apple’s upcoming roadmap, which is handy if you’ve decided to forego this round of laptops and want to know what’s next.
“MacBook Pro is expected to receive a major upgrade with OLED touch panels in late 4Q26 or early 1Q27,” reports Kuo, who has reported this in the past, and is basically reaffirming his report. This falls in line with other past reports of a MacBook Pro touchscreen coming later this year. The touchscreen is expected to be the centerpiece of the M6 Pro and Max upgrades.
Kuo also reports that the second generation of the MacBook Neo won’t have a touchscreen. Kuo reports that Apple had toyed with the idea of a touchscreen Neo to challenge the touchscreen Chromebook market, but ultimately decided against it, at least for now. “My latest industry checks suggest Neo 2 may not adopt it,” Kuo writes.
As for the MacBook Air, Kuo states that Apple will upgrade the screen from an LED to an OLED display, but it won’t happen until 2028 or 2029.
The rest of Kuo’s report covers supplier-related MacBook Neo details, including an estimate of 4.5 million Neo units to be sold for this year with shipments growing steadily as back-to-school and the holiday shopping seasons approach. Adding to the Neo’s success is a struggling PC laptop market due to the escalating RAM shortage, which could result in higher prices. Kuo said he expects total MacBook shipments to reach 25 million, “the only real bright spot among laptop brands.”

The Apple ecosystem is a bargain (no really) Macworld
Apple hopes to accomplish a lot of things with the MacBook Neo, not the least of which includes attracting more users to switch to the Mac. But it’s more than just growing the Mac user base.

Supposed that’s what happens: You decide to go all-in on Apple. But like the MacBook Neo, you want to spend as little as possible on each device. How much will that cost you at the Apple Store? Well. let’s figure that out! Below is a list of the cheapest devices for the major Apple categories, along with what you get for the price.

We’re starting with the MacBook Neo, since it’s now the new gateway into Apple’s ecosystem. It has an A18 Pro chip that offers excellent performance comparable to an M1 or M2 chip, so it’s powerful enough for some productivity tasks, web browsing, and even basic media editing. It has a gorgeous aluminum design in four colors, a very good 13-inch Liquid Retina display, and all-day battery life. Its 256GB SSD is a little small, but you can always sign up for an Individual Apple One plan for $19.95 per month, which includes 50GB of iCloud storage.

For the first time ever, you can go all-in on the Apple ecosystem for less than the price of some MacBooks. Even if you upgrade to AirPods 4, you’re still under $2,000. The MacBook Neo has highlighted just how affordable the Apple ecosystem really is, and you no longer need to spend thousands of dollars to get a fantastic set of devices.
That total doesn’t include the Apple One subscription, and doesn’t include AppleCare, which is another $20 per month for AppleCare One to cover your MacBook, iPad, and iPhone against accidents. You can shop around for lesser prices on Amazon or Best Buy, and I you use your Apple Card, you’ll get a decent chunk of cash back (over $50) on the purchase, too. Overall, not a bad haul for less than $2,000.
iPhone Fold Said to Come in These Three Storage Options The storage capacity options for Apple's upcoming book-style foldable iPhone have allegedly leaked, along with their approximate pricing.
According to the Weibo-based leaker Instant Digital, Apple will offer iPhone Fold storage capacities in the following three tiers:
256GB – ~$2,320
512GB – ~$2,610
1TB – ~$2,900
For context, Apple presently offers the iPhone 17 Pro in the same three storage options – 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB – with the iPhone 17 Pro Max offered in a fourth 2TB storage option costing $1,999. Note that the corresponding storage prices shown above are approximate USD conversions from Chinese yuan at the current exchange rate, and shouldn't be taken as reflective of the final price in the U.S. As such, consider them ballpark figures.
The starting price of the foldable iPhone could be nearly twice as much as the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and Apple could put it somewhere between $1,800 and $2,500, which is double what the iPhone 17 Pro costs. The latest rumors suggest it will be on the higher side of that estimate, and these approximate storage tier prices appear to bear that out.
Instant Digital has a good track record for Apple rumors and has provided some strikingly accurate information ahead of time, such as the imminent launch of 2023's Yellow iPhone 14, the frosted back glass of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus.
Notably, for the iPhone 17 Pro, the leaker accurately reported the device's 256GB base storage configuration and its improved telephoto camera, as well as its improved battery life, thermal design, and display brightness, so it's worth taking these purported storage capacities seriously.
Apple is expected to launch its first foldable iPhone this September.Tags: Foldable iPhone, Instant DigitalThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

AirTag tech, but make it wallet-friendly — and on sale for just $24 Macworld
TL;DR: Love Apple’s Find My tracking but hate the chunky AirTag shape? The MagTag Ultra Slim Tracker Card fits in your wallet and is just $23.99.
Apple’s Find My technology was a fantastic game-changer for tracking your stuff. But their shape is really not practical.
That’s why the MagTag slim tracker card is the new game-changer. Instead of a weirdly round puck, this tracker is shaped like a credit card and just 1.5mm thin, so it slides neatly into your wallet, passport pouch, backpack, or luggage tag without creating a bulge.
Even better, it still works seamlessly with the Apple Find My app, which means you can locate your belongings using Apple’s massive global device network.
If you leave something behind, MagTag can send instant separation alerts, letting you know your wallet or bag didn’t make it out the door with you. And if something gets misplaced nearby, you can trigger a loud beep to help you find it faster.
The card also features a built-in keyring hole, so you can attach it to keys, kids’ backpacks, luggage tags, or ID lanyards.
Unlike many trackers, MagTag includes a rechargeable battery that lasts up to five months and charges wirelessly with any Qi charger.
Don’t miss grabbing this MagTag Ultra Slim Tracker Card while it’s just $23.99 (MSRP $59.99).

Vibe Coding Luxembourg: Build a Real App in 60 Minutes with AI I'm hosting a free live online coding session from Luxembourg City on March 26 — building a working iOS app from scratch in 60 minutes using only natural language prompts and TRAE, ByteDance's AI coding agent.

Extract the selected text in custom iOS keyboard extension I am trying to retrieve the selected text inside a custom keyboard extension.
Using textDocumentProxy.selectedText only provides the prefix and suffix sentences of the selected text, rather than the complete content.
I also tried programmatically moving the cursor and then accessing the truncated parts of the text. However, even while moving the cursor programmatically during text selection, reading documentContextBeforeInput or documentContextAfterInput still does not return the truncated sentences.
How can I reliably obtain the full selected text in a custom keyboard extension?

PSA: UIStackView in iOS 26 shows hidden subviews with UIDesignRequiresCompatibility = NO I maintain a UIKit app and I've just discovered that the UIStackView we have is displaying ALL of the arrangeSubviews even when some have isHidden set to true. Even calling stackView.setNeedsLayout() does nothing. The isHidden subview is still being shown. What the hell, Apple?! When I set UIDesignRequiresCompatibility to YES in Info.plist and rerun it, […]
