Apple is planning to launch a MacBook Air with an OLED display, but it won't come for several years after the MacBook Pro is updated with OLED screen technology. We're not going to see an OLED MacBook Air until at least 2028, according to Bloomberg. Large, high-quality OLED displays are expensive, and it will take some time for the technology to come down in price enough that it can be used in Apple's midrange devices. Apple brought OLED to the 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro models in 2024, introducing the first larger-sized OLED screens. The iPhone and Apple Watch have used OLED for years, but it is more complicated with bigger displays. Apple wants to transition its flagship Mac and iPad models to OLED, with OLED eventually used across all product lines. OLED displays have better contrast than the LCD and mini-LED displays that Apple is using for current Macs, providing richer colors and deeper blacks. OLED also supports wider viewing angles and is often more power efficient because black pixels don't light up. A MacBook Pro with a touchscreen OLED display is in development, and rumors suggest that we're going to get it as soon as late 2026, though Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said today that we could be waiting until early 2027. Kuo also said that we won't see an OLED MacBook Air until 2028 or 2029, so the MacBook Air will likely continue to use LCD display technology until then. It's possible Apple could do an interim mini-LED update, but there are no rumors suggesting that's the case yet.Related Roundup: MacBook AirTag: OLEDBuyer's Guide: MacBook Air (Buy Now)Related Forum: MacBook AirThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums10:31 pmNew iOS and iPadOS security updates arrive for older Apple hardware

Weekly MLB games are set to return to the Apple TV subscription service on Friday, March 27, Apple said today. The fifth Friday Night Baseball season will begin with the Los Angeles Angels facing off against the Houston Astros, followed by the Cleveland Guardians playing against the Seattle Mariners. Apple TV will air weekly MLB doubleheaders each Friday during the 25-week 2026 season. MLB fans in 60 countries and regions will be able to watch the games with enhanced production quality and expert commentary. "'Friday Night Baseball' on Apple TV continues to elevate how fans experience the game," said Oliver Schusser, Apple's vice president of Apple Music, Apple TV, Sports, and Beats. "With cutting-edge production -- including the integration of iPhone to capture immersive new perspectives -- and a full season of marquee matchups available without local broadcast restrictions, we're delivering a modern, premium broadcast experience designed for fans everywhere." Starting on the March 26 opening day, U.S. fans will also be able to watch the MLB Big Inning show each weeknight with live look-ins and in-game highlights, plus there is a full slate of MLB-related content coming to Apple TV like Countdown to First Pitch, MLB Daily Recap, and MLB This Week. The full Friday Night Baseball schedule for the first half of the season can be found on Apple's website. Friday Night Baseball is included for free with an Apple TV subscription, and no additional subscription package is required. Apple TV is priced at $12.99 per month.Related Roundup: Apple TVTags: Apple TV Plus, MLBBuyer's Guide: Apple TV (Don't Buy)Related Forum: Apple TV and Home TheaterThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums10:03 pmFolding iPhone may take a major step toward iPad-style productivity

Those with automatic updates turned on will see the new software installed automatically in the coming days. According to Apple's release notes, the updates include important security fixes. Apple has committed to providing security updates for iPhones for at least five years after launch, but often Apple provides security fixes for a much longer period of time.

The upcoming foldable iPhone that Apple plans to debut this September will operate like a cross between an iPhone and an iPad, reports Bloomberg. When the device is opened up, the UI will have an iPad-like layout that supports multitasking with two apps side-by-side. No iPhone to date has supported running multiple apps on the display at the same time, beyond simple picture-in-picture mode features. Many apps will feature sidebars on the left of the display, and developers will be given tools to adapt their existing apps for the new interface. The iPad interface makes sense because the iPhone Fold is something of an iPhone and iPad hybrid. 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. A wider display will make the iPhone Fold more useful for side-by-side apps, video watching, and similar tasks that people are used to doing with an iPad. When the iPhone Fold is closed, the outer display will look like a standard iPhone. It will display apps and it will have a hole-punch front-facing camera for selfies, but there isn't Face ID support. Instead, Apple is using a fingerprint sensor that's included in the power button. The camera area will still support Dynamic Island features for Live Activities and relevant notifications even though there's no TrueDepth system. Apple did test a camera that was underneath the inner display, but it produced poor images compared to the hole punch version, so Apple opted for a visible camera. The rear area will have dual cameras, but no triple-lens camera system because of space constraints. Though the iPhone Fold will have a display with some features that are also available on the iPad, it will run iOS, not iPadOS. It will not support the full range of multitasking features that are available on the iPad, and it won't run existing iPadOS apps. Apple plans to price the iPhone Fold somewhere around $2,000, and it will be the most expensive iPhone in the 2026 lineup.Related Roundup: iPhone 18Tags: Foldable iPhone, Mark GurmanRelated Forum: iPhoneThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums08:26 pmiPhone Fold expected to include new app features, including side-by-side multitasking

Happy MacBook Neo launch day! Apple's $599 notebook is finally here, and we picked one up to take a look at the new machine and share some first impressions. Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos. The MacBook Neo looks like a MacBook Air, but a little bit smaller. It comes in fun colors, including Citrus, Blush, and Indigo, plus a plain Silver shade. It's lightweight, has rounded corners, and it's an all-around nice machine, especially compared to bulkier Windows PCs. The display is as bright as the MacBook Air display at 500 nits, and it has nice vivid colors. The base model comes with a 256GB SSD and no Touch ID button for the color-matched keyboard, but the higher-tier 512GB model priced at $699 does have Touch ID. Since this is a $599 MacBook, there are some compromises. You only get two USB-C ports and no Thunderbolt, plus no MagSafe or fast charging option. Only one of the USB-C ports is USB3, so you'll need to use that one if you want to connect an external display. It supports a 4K 60Hz display. The trackpad isn't the same Force Touch trackpad you'll find on the MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, but it's just as usable with the exception of the pressure-based options. There is a physical click rather than the Haptic Force Touch click, but the entire button can click so you can press anywhere. The keyboard is identical to the keyboard of the MacBook Air in terms of feel. Apple designed new speakers for the MacBook Neo, and they're side-firing for the first time. Maximum sound is a little limited, but sound quality is otherwise decent for a laptop. The microphones for video calls are good at isolating out background noise, but the camera is limited to 1080p so it's not quite as good as the camera Apple uses for more expensive MacBook models. In terms of performance, the MacBook Neo has an A18 Pro chip and it's limited to 8GB RAM, but that's plenty for simple tasks like browsing the web, watching videos, editing documents, and doing homework. In a quick test opening 54 pre-installed apps on the MacBook Neo, it didn't struggle, and it was able to handle all of those apps without an issue. We're going to do a deep dive into performance and battery life in the future once we've been able to spend more time with the MacBook Neo, so make sure to keep an eye on the site for more videos.Related Roundup: MacBook NeoBuyer's Guide: MacBook Neo (Buy Now)Related Forum: MacBook NeoThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums07:46 pmPerplexity's Personal Computer lets AI agents access your Mac mini's files

Following the release of his new book Apple: The First 50 Years, tech columnist David Pogue is hosting an Apple at 50: Five Decades of Thinking Different event at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California tonight. The event will be live streamed on YouTube for free, starting at 7 p.m. Pacific Time. "From the early garage days of the 1970s, to the heyday of the Macintosh in the 1980s, to Apple's transformation in the 2000s with the iPhone, the program will explore how Apple repeatedly redefined itself while holding fast to a distinctive vision," the Computer History Museum said, in the YouTube stream's description. The event will feature speakers from across multiple Apple eras, including: John Sculley: Apple's CEO from 1983 to 1993 Chris Espinosa: Apple's longest-serving employee Avie Tevanian: Apple's former Chief Software Technology Officer Jon Rubinstein: Apple's former SVP of Hardware Engineering (appearing by video)Pogue is a CBS Sunday Morning correspondent, and he spent many years writing about Apple and technology for The New York Times and Macworld. In a social media post, Pogue said the event will also feature Ronald Wayne, the lesser-known third co-founder of Apple, alongside Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. It is unclear if Wayne will be attending the event in person or if he will speak. Wayne sold his 10% share of Apple back to Jobs and Wozniak just 12 days after the company was established in 1976, to avoid personal financial risk. His share of the company would be worth hundreds of billions of dollars today. The live stream is below. Pogue said there will be seven key Apple figures participating in the event, so there should be two others beyond the names listed above. Perhaps it is a surprise. The Computer History Museum has an Apple at 50 page with a timeline of the company's history, old photos, interviews, rare prototypes, and more. Apple: The First 50 Years is available in hardcover and digital formats. In time for Apple's 50th anniversary on April 1, 2026, the 608-page book explores the first five decades of the company's history. Pogue interviewed 150 key people who shaped Apple into what it is today, including Wozniak, Sculley, former design chief Jony Ive, and others. The book provides "new facts that correct the record":In time for Apple's 50th anniversary, CBS Sunday Morning correspondent David Pogue tells the iconic company's entire life story: how it was born, nearly died, was born again under Steve Jobs, and became, under CEO Tim Cook, the most valuable company in the world.

Macworld How quickly things change. A couple of weeks ago, Apple was that out-of-touch company with the expensive products; now, following the launch of the MacBook Neo and iPhone 17e, it’s the Value Tech Warehouse. Gone are the days of Think Different and insanely great. Welcome to the era of pile ’em high, sell ’em cheap. Okay, that might not quite be true. It’s extraordinarily unlikely that Apple is pivoting to the budget market in any broad strategic sense, and the company will retain a keen interest in the high-margin premium market. Upsell opportunities will be found wherever possible. But it’s truer today than ever before that you can buy a complete bundle of decent Apple products at a manageable price. In fact, the entry-level models of the MacBook Neo, iPhone 17e, and Apple Watch SE 3 come in at a combined $1,447 if you buy direct from Apple, or less if you shop around. While that isn’t exactly an impulse purchase, it’s unprecedentedly affordable. Just make sure you don’t leave off the Apple Watch, which is key to the whole thing. First of all, the SE 3 is quite simply a brilliant smartwatch at a brilliant price. When we were rounding up Apple’s hits of 2025, I didn’t have any hesitation about the product I wanted to write about. A comfortable and unobtrusive design, always-on display, fast charging, excellent battery life, and on-device Siri… all this for just $249. In my review, I gave it 4.5 stars out of 5 and an Editors’ Choice badge, and I would recommend the device to anyone who’s curious about getting into smartwatches. It’s both good and relatively cheap. Apple Watch SE 3 Price When Reviewed: From $249 Best Prices Today: $239 at Amazon | $249.99 at Target | $269 at Walmart What I didn’t know at the time is how useful the Apple Watch SE would become just a couple of months later. The nice thing about the Apple Watch now is that it covers for one of the $599 MacBook Neo’s few pain points: its lack of Touch ID, which we placed at the top of our list of missing features. Biometric unlocking might seem like a small thing, but it both locks down your Mac and delivers serious convenience when multiplied by the number of times you wake up your Mac or log into a website. If you’ve had access to it before, managing without it is going to hurt. And if you haven’t, incorporating biometrics is an easy way to level up your day-to-day computing experience. Let me set the scene. You wake up in the morning and put on your Apple Watch. Do you need to use the passcode to unlock it? No! Just look at your iPhone, and Face ID will unlock both at once. Then you open your MacBook and prepare to begin work. Do you need to enter your password? No! The proximity of an unlocked, authenticated Apple Watch will do that for you. You’ve now got three devices unlocked without having to input a single password, and only one of them needed to have any biometric features. Multiply this by the number of unlocks per day, the number of days per month, the number of months per year… plus all the times you need to log into a website or want to buy something using Apple Pay (by double clicking your watch’s side button). It adds up. Now, in strict fairness, I should point out that the 512GB version of the MacBook Neo, which costs an extra $100, does get Touch ID, so the $249 Apple Watch isn’t actually saving you any money. But this isn’t a one-use product. It’s an excellent health and fitness product, a fashion accessory, and a convenient way to get notifications without taking out your phone. Once you start wearing one, you won’t want to take it off. Most of all, it works as part of a team. Biometrics are only the start: when you own the classic trio of Apple devices—iPhone, Apple Watch, MacBook—then you start to notice all kinds of neat interaction between them. This is what Apple is best at. Well, that and making cheap products, apparently.05:53 pmNew Apple Studio Displays Double Internal Storage to 128GB
The Apple Studio Display and Studio Display XDR are equipped with A19 and A19 Pro chips, respectively, and each display has 128GB of internal NAND storage. With A-series chips, the Studio Displays run an iOS-based operating system, which is what the internal storage space is used for. The A19 and A19 Pro handle camera processing for the Center Stage camera, color calibration, USB and Thunderbolt device management, spatial audio, and more. Storage space is necessary for the existing software, downloading new firmware updates over time, and perhaps for diagnostics, but the storage is not used for user-facing features. The prior-generation Studio Display had 64GB of storage, so the new displays have double the capacity. Apple likely found it more affordable to use existing NAND storage from its iPhone supply chain rather than to invest in smaller modules with less storage. Most of the 128GB is probably unnecessary. Along with 128GB of storage, the Studio Display has 8GB RAM and the Studio Display XDR has 12GB RAM. The new displays launched today, and are now available for purchase from the online Apple Store and Apple retail locations.

X-Plane, which is advertised as being the "world's most advanced flight simulator," is coming to Apple's Vision Pro in the next month or so. The upcoming visionOS 26.4 update adds support for NVIDIA's CloudXR 6.0 platform, and this will enable Vision Pro users to wirelessly stream immersive PC games from NVIDIA RTX-powered servers via Wi-Fi, including the flight simulator X-Plane 12. According to Justin Ryan, the simulator will stream at up to 4K at 120 FPS. Vision Pro users will be able to connect their own flight simulation hardware for an immersive flying experience. If you have a physical yoke or throttle, Apple's augmented reality framework ARKit uses image detection to recognize them and place them inside your virtual cockpit, as shown in Ryan's demo below (via 9to5Mac). Here’s a first look at X-Plane 12 on Apple Vision Pro!With visionOS 26.4 and NVIDIA CloudXR 6.0, the simulator streams wirelessly at up to 4K/120fps to your headset.And if you have a physical yoke or throttle, ARKit uses image detection to recognize them and place them inside… pic.twitter.com/FTYzJH9ALP— Justin Ryan ᯅ (@justinryanio) March 11, 2026 X-Plane 12 is available on Windows, Mac, and Linux for $59.99, or as a DVD for $99.99.

Apple and Samsung produced nearly the same number of smartphones in 2025, tying for the top position in global smartphone production, according to a new report from TrendForce. Global smartphone production reached approximately 1.254 billion units in 2025, rising 2.5% year over year. The research firm says Apple and Samsung each produced nearly 240 million smartphones during the year, tying for the top position in global production. TrendForce says the smartphone market in the first half of 2025 benefited from China's government subsidy programs, which stimulated demand, while the second half of the year was supported by the traditional seasonal peak driven by new flagship smartphone launches. Apple's production increased significantly toward the end of the year following the launch of the iPhone 17 lineup. TrendForce said Apple's smartphone production rose more than 50% quarter over quarter in the fourth quarter of 2025, supported by strong shipments of the company's latest iPhone models. The report adds that the iPhone 17 series benefited from well-positioned retail pricing, which helped drive strong market performance. TrendForce suggests that if Apple adopts a more aggressive pricing strategy in 2026, it could help sustain both production and sales momentum. Looking ahead, the broader smartphone industry is expected to face mounting cost pressures. TrendForce says surging memory prices are likely to significantly increase smartphone production costs in 2026. As a result, global smartphone output is projected to decline by at least 10% year over year to around 1.135 billion units. According to the firm, smartphone manufacturers will face a difficult choice between raising retail prices to preserve margins or lowering device specifications to maintain shipment volumes, with the entry-level segment expected to be most affected by rising component costs. Beyond Apple and Samsung, several other manufacturers ranked among the largest producers in 2025. Xiaomi (including Redmi and POCO) ranked third with production close to 170 million units, followed by OPPO (including OnePlus and Realme) with 143 million units. Vivo placed fifth, while Transsion (the company behind TECNO, Infinix, and itel) ranked sixth after sharply cutting production late in the year due to inventory adjustments and demand concerns in emerging markets. Honor ranked seventh after accelerating production toward the end of 2025, while Lenovo (including Motorola) ranked eighth with roughly 61 million smartphones produced during the year.Tags: Samsung, TrendForceThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums04:40 pmAltStore PAL update brings social web features and Liquid Glass design

Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo today said the MacBook Pro will receive a "major upgrade" with an OLED display by early next year. In a blog post, Kuo said the new MacBook Pro will be released between late 2026 and early 2027. With an OLED display, the MacBook Pro would have better image quality compared to the current models with LCD displays and mini-LED backlighting. Advantages of OLED displays include more vivid colors, higher contrast ratio, and wider viewing angles, and they can be more power efficient depending on the content being displayed. The next-generation MacBook Pro is expected to feature many other upgrades, including a thinner design, a touch screen, a Dynamic Island, and M6 Pro and M6 Max chips manufactured with TSMC's 2nm process. It has been rumored that Apple might even expand its C1X or C2 modem to the MacBook Pro for built-in cellular connectivity. With all of these new features, higher prices are likely. For this reason, it was recently reported that the model with an OLED display might be a so-called "MacBook Ultra" that is positioned above the MacBook Pro in the lineup. Kuo expects the MacBook Air to receive an OLED display as well, but not until 2028 or 2029. Apple just released MacBook Pro models with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, but if you are interested in bigger upgrades, it might be best to wait. The last MacBook Pro redesign occurred in 2021, so these moments do not come along too often.Related Roundup: MacBook ProTag: Ming-Chi KuoBuyer's Guide: MacBook Pro (Buy Now)Related Forum: MacBook ProThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums03:45 pmDeals: AirPods 4 nearly 35% off, new Studio Display, 1TB M5 MacBook Pro $200 off, MacBook Air $320 off, more | 9 to 5 MacDeals: AirPods 4 nearly 35% off, new Studio Display, 1TB M5 MacBook Pro $200 off, MacBook Air $320 off, more

ASUS says the MacBook Neo is a "shock" to the Windows PC ecosystem. "In the past, Apple's pricing situation has always been high, so for them to release a very budget-friendly product, this is obviously a shock to the entire industry," said ASUS co-CEO S.Y. Hsu in a Tuesday earnings call. While he expects PC makers to respond, rising AI-driven memory shortages could push hardware prices higher across the industry. PCMag reports: Hsu said he believes all the PC players -- including Microsoft, Intel, and AMD -- take the MacBook Neo threat seriously. "In fact, in the entire PC ecosystem, there have been a lot of discussions about how to compete with this product," he added, given that rumors about the MacBook Neo have been making the rounds for at least a year. Despite the competitive threat, Hsu argued that the MacBook Neo could have limited appeal. He pointed to the laptop's 8GB of "unified memory," or what amounts to its RAM, and how customers can't upgrade it. He also described the MacBook Neo as a "content consumption" device, similar to an iPad. "This is different from the use case of a mainstream notebook," which can handle more compute-intensive tasks, Hsu said. "How big of an impact [the MacBook Neo] will have on the PC industry will still require some time for us to observe," Hsu said while suggesting it might not gain traction among Windows PC users due to software differences. "Of course, the entire Windows PC ecosystem will push out products to compete against Apple," he added. Read more of this story at Slashdot.02:54 pmApple Arcade Adding These Three Games in April
Apple today announced three new games coming to Apple Arcade in April, along with several updates to existing titles on the service. The three new games heading to Apple Arcade next month are as follows: DREDGE+: A complete edition of the award-winning fishing adventure where players explore eerie archipelagos, dredge the ocean floor for hidden treasures, and uncover mysteries lurking beneath the waves. The Apple Arcade version includes all previously released downloadable content, including The Pale Reach, The Iron Rig, and Blackstone Key, along with a custom rod. Unpacking+: A relaxing puzzle game centered on unpacking belongings and arranging them in a new home. As players organize items across different rooms, they gradually piece together the story of the life they are unpacking. My Very Hungry Caterpillar+: An interactive experience based on Eric Carle's beloved children's character where players care for their own caterpillar, feeding and playing with it as it grows and eventually transforms into a butterfly. All of the new games will be available on April 2, 2026. Two Apple Arcade titles are also set to receive updates in the coming weeks: Disney SpellStruck: A Star Wars crossover arriving March 19 adds Adventure Mode levels inspired by Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back and introduces Darth Vader and Lando Calrissian as playable characters. Puyo Puyo Puzzle Pop: A new game mode called Puyo Puyo Garden arrives April 9 to celebrate the franchise's 35th anniversary, allowing players to grow and battle their own unique Puyo. Apple Arcade is a subscription service that provides access to hundreds of games across the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro. All of the games are free of ads and in-app purchases, and the service continues to expand its catalog of more than 200 titles. In the U.S., Apple Arcade costs $6.99 per month, and it is also bundled with other Apple services in all Apple One plans.

With the latest version of the Apple Invites app on the iPhone, released today, the app's Home Screen widget has received a small but useful enhancement.

Starting today, though, a new "Next Upcoming" option can automatically refresh the widget with your next closest event as they pass by. You can still set a specific event manually if you prefer. The update also contains bug fixes and performance improvements. Released in February 2025, the Apple Invites app makes it easy to invite people to events, such as birthday parties and baby showers. First, you create an event invitation, which can include a description, a custom background, and even a shared photo album. Then, you can generate a link to the event that you can share with invited guests. The ability to create an event in the app is limited to iCloud+ subscribers, but anyone who receives an event link can RSVP for free. In the U.S., the cheapest iCloud+ plan with 50GB of storage currently costs 99 cents per month. Apple Invites is available on the iPhone, and on the web at iCloud.com/invites.

Apple's refreshed Studio Display arrives alongside the all-new Studio Display XDR, which replaces the previous Pro Display XDR. The Studio Display XDR is more than twice the price of the Studio Display, so which should you choose? Both Studio Display models offer a wide range of the same core features and are designed to provide a very similar overall experience for everyday use. They share the same aluminum enclosure, identical 27-inch 5K resolution with a high pixel density of 218 ppi, and many of Apple's built-in workstation features such as the 12-megapixel Center Stage camera, studio-quality microphones, and six-speaker sound system with Spatial Audio. Both displays also include Thunderbolt connectivity, along with options like nano-texture glass and VESA mounting for different workstation setups. As a result, the two displays are much more alike than their price difference might initially suggest. The shared features include: Design 27-inch display size 5120 by 2880 pixels 218 ppi P3 wide color gamut True Tone Anti-reflective coating Nano-texture glass option 12MP Center Stage camera with Desk View Studio‑quality three‑mic array Six-speaker sound system with Spatial Audio One upstream Thunderbolt 5 port for connecting to a Mac and charging One downstream Thunderbolt 5 port for high-speed accessories or daisy-chaining additional displays Two USB-C ports for accessories and charging VESA mount adapter option Despite these similarities, there are still several key differences that separate the two displays and explain the substantial jump in price. Most of these distinctions relate to the underlying display technology and performance capabilities of the Studio Display XDR, which introduces a more advanced mini-LED panel, higher brightness levels for both SDR and HDR content, and a faster refresh rate with Adaptive Sync. It also offers additional professional-focused capabilities such as expanded color support and a more powerful chip. In total, there are 10 major differences between the two monitors: Studio Display (2026) Studio Display XDR (2026) Apple A19 chip Apple A19 Pro chip LCD panel Mini-LED panel 60Hz refresh rate 120Hz refresh rate Adaptive Sync 2,304 dimming zones 600 nits brightness 1,000 nits brightness (SDR) 2,000 nits peak HDR brightness Adobe RGB wide color gamut Tilt-adjustable stand included Tilt- and height-adjustable stand option Tilt- and height-adjustable stand included $1,599 (Tilt-adjustable stand) $1,999 (Tilt- and height-adjustable stand option) $3,299 The standard Studio Display is the better choice for most users. It offers the same 27-inch 5K resolution, design, camera, speakers, and Thunderbolt connectivity as the Studio Display XDR, making it an excellent general-purpose display for everyday Mac use. For tasks such as productivity, software development, office work, and most creative projects, the 5K Retina, 600-nit panel with P3 wide color provides more than enough brightness and accuracy. It is also substantially more affordable, starting at $1,599, which makes it far easier to justify as a monitor for Mac mini, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro users. The Studio Display is still well suited to photographers, designers, and video editors working primarily in standard dynamic range (SDR). Its high pixel density and wide color support allow images and graphics to appear extremely sharp and vibrant, while the built-in camera, microphones, and six-speaker system make it ideal for video calls and general-purpose workstation setups. In many workflows, especially those focused on web content, software development, or SDR video production, the additional technologies offered by the Studio Display XDR provide few practical advantages. The Studio Display XDR is aimed at far more specialized professional workflows. Its mini-LED backlight with more than 2,000 local dimming zones enables dramatically higher contrast and brightness, reaching up to 1,000 nits in SDR and 2,000 nits for HDR content. It also supports a 120Hz refresh rate with Adaptive Sync and adds broader color support, including Adobe RGB, which is important for certain print and professional imaging workflows. These capabilities make the display particularly valuable for HDR video editing, color grading, 3D rendering, and other production environments where accurate brightness, contrast, and color reproduction are critical. As a result, the Studio Display XDR is primarily intended for high-end creative professionals who rely on reference-grade display performance, just like the Pro Display XDR it replaced. Some prosumers and enthusiasts who are happy to spend more for a more capable product may also gravitate toward the Studio Display XDR simply to obtain the most advanced panel Apple offers. Its 120Hz refresh rate, higher brightness, and mini-LED backlight make it much closer to the display technology used in the MacBook Pro, allowing content to appear more consistent with the built-in Liquid Retina XDR display. Users who are accustomed to ProMotion and high dynamic range on a MacBook Pro may prefer the smoother motion and greater contrast of the XDR model, even if their work does not require it. For these buyers, the additional cost may be easier to justify as a way to achieve a more premium and future-proof desktop setup that aligns with Apple's highest-end Mac hardware. For everyone else, the Studio Display remains the more sensible option. The two displays share most of the same everyday features and design, but the XDR model's advanced panel technology significantly increases the price. Unless your work directly requires HDR, extremely high brightness, or specialized color spaces, the standard Studio Display delivers a nearly identical day-to-day experience at roughly half the cost.Related Roundup: Studio DisplayBuyer's Guide: Displays (Buy Now)Related Forum: Mac AccessoriesThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums02:05 pmApple Released Seven New Products Today
Starting today, the seven new Apple products that were announced last week are available at Apple Stores and beginning to arrive to customers. The colorful MacBook Neo and all of the other new products are on display at most Apple Store locations around the world starting today. Apple Stores have inventory of the new products for both walk-in customers and Apple Store pickup, but availability varies, so make sure to see if your local store has stock via Apple's online store. From the MacRumors Forums: MacBook Neo Pre-Order and Delivery ThreadThe other six products include an iPhone 17e, iPad Air models with the M4 chip, MacBook Air models with the M5 chip, MacBook Pro models with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, a new Studio Display, and a higher-end Studio Display XDR. iPhone 17e features the same overall design as the iPhone 16e, but it gains Apple's A19 chip, MagSafe for magnetic wireless charging and magnetic accessories, Apple's second-generation C1X modem for faster 5G, and a doubled 256GB of base storage. In the U.S., the iPhone 17e starts at $599, just like the iPhone 16e did. The new iPad Air's key upgrades include Apple's M4 chip, an increased 12GB of RAM, Apple's N1 chip with Wi-Fi 7 support, and the C1X modem in cellular models. The MacBook Air received a faster M5 chip, and a doubled 512GB of base storage, but the starting price increased from $999 to $1,099 as a result of a 256GB configuration being dropped. With the N1 chip, the MacBook Air now has Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, and it now comes with Apple's 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max. The higher-end 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models finally received M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, plus up to twice as fast SSD speeds and a doubled 1TB of base storage. Battery life has increased slightly across all of the models, and the N1 chip extends to the MacBook Pro line now for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 support. The regular Studio Display gained Thunderbolt 5 support and improved speakers, and the camera now supports Desk View. There is also an all-new, higher-end Studio Display XDR that gained all of those benefits, plus bigger improvements such as a 120Hz refresh rate, mini-LED backlighting, increased brightness, and more. The colorful new MacBook Neo starts at just $599 in the United States, and at an even lower $499 for college students. Available in Blush, Citrus, Indigo, and Silver, the MacBook Neo is powered by the A18 Pro chip from the iPhone, and it is equipped with a 13-inch display, up to 512GB of storage, and a non-configurable 8GB of RAM.

Macworld At a glanceExpert's Rating Pros Extreme color accuracy Really good built-in webcam Very good HDR brightness Cons Costs a fortune Speakers are mediocre Mac-only; Thunderbolt-only Our Verdict For well-heeled Mac (and only Mac) users, this is just the display to make your content shine. It should cost a lot less, and should be 32 inches instead of 27, but there’s no denying that the color gamut and accuracy are top-notch, HDR picture quality is fantastic, and even the webcam is really good this time. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Price When Reviewed$3299 Best Prices Today: Apple Studio Display XDR (2026) Retailer Price $3,299 View Deal $3299 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket Apple finally made a nice modern computer monitor with nice modern features and specs. Something that compares well with contemporary PC monitors in most respects: high and variable refresh rate, quality HDR, and wide color. The Pro Display XDR wasn’t it. The Studio Display (2022) wasn’t it. This is it. It even manages to outshine its contemporaries in some ways. It’s a shame it won’t be used by more than a handful of visual artists burning through VC startup money and YouTube influencers with cash to spare, because the Studio Display XDR is the kind of monitor you really need to get the full Mac experience. Unfortunately, the $3,300+ price tag places it out of reach and out of touch. Studio Display XDR: Design You’d have a hard time spotting the difference between the new Studio Display XDR and the regular Studio Display. They are virtually identical and almost exactly the same as the original 2022 Studio Display. It’s a 27-inch display, with relatively thick black bezels and a silver aluminum body that’s about an inch thick. There are four USB-C ports on the back and speaker holes along the top and bottom. The regular Studio Display comes with a stand that only tilts, but does not go up or down—a problem since it’s set too low for most desks. There are a lot of Studio Displays sitting on makeshift monitor stands. You can buy a handsome tilt-and-height adjustable stand that is elegant, simple, and very Apple. With it, your display can tilt and go up and down, though not rotate. Unfortunately, it still costs $400, easily four times what a reasonable price should be. The Studio Display XDR comes with that upgraded stand, but it should really come standard with the regular Studio Display as well. Foundry Those perforations are the only visible difference between the Studio Display and the Studio Display XDR when the power is off. The Studio Display has five rows of ventilation holes about halfway across the thickness of the display, while the XDR model has nine rows that nearly stretch all the way across. Foundry The four USB-C ports on the back are a big upgrade over the 2022 model, and identical on both the Studio Display and XDR versions. While the old Studio Display had a single Thunderbolt 3 port and three USB-C (10 Gbps) ports, the new models have a pair of Thunderbolt 5 ports and two USB-C ports. Foundry That second port lets you hook up high-speed accessories such as external storage, or daisy-chain multiple monitors together—up to four, with a MacBook Pro with M5 Max. The downstream Thunderbolt port still supplies up to 96W of power on the standard model to charge your connected MacBook, but the Studio Display XDR boosts that up to 140W so you can fast-charge a MacBook Pro. These are nice improvements, but it’s frustrating to think that you’ll need adapters to plug anything in via HDMI or DisplayPort. Apple built Studio Display for Macs and Macs alone. Case in point: There is no way to adjust display settings other than with a connected Mac. Studio Display XDR: Screen The new Studio Displays both feature the same size and resolution as the old model: 5K (5120 x 2880) at 27 inches. The new XDR model finally adds the critical features that should be standard for any monitor costing over $800 these days. The XDR version has a mini-LED backlight array with up to 2304 dimming zones that can crank the brightness up to 1000 nits for SDR content and a peak of 2000 nits for HDR content. It supports resolutions up to 120Hz and variable refresh rates, too. (A note on 120Hz support: Macs with M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max, M1 Ultra, M2, and M3 will only drive the display up to 60Hz. You still get HDR and all the other display features, though.) Plug into an M1 Mac and you’re limited to 60Hz.Foundry Both models support P3 wide color, but the XDR model adds a host of additional color reference modes, including P3 + Adobe RGB, and even DICOM medical imaging. Calibration options are limited for a professional monitor, but enhanced full instrument-driven calibration is coming in a future software update, according to Apple’s white paper. I don’t have the colorimeters to fully test the gamut and color accuracy of the Studio Display XDR. It’s not as high-resolution as the original Pro Display XDR, which had a 6016 by 3384 panel, but I would be shocked if the new model were any different than the original Studio Display, which was lauded for its spot-on calibration out of the box. To my eyes, the Studio Display XDR looks extremely accurate across the brightness range, and there’s a minimum of blooming or variance in backlight uniformity. Motion clarity is another matter. The original Studio Display was criticized for both its low 60Hz refresh rate and aging panel technology with poor response times, resulting in significant blur and smearing on moving objects. The Studio Display XDR improves that quite a bit with the boost to 120Hz, but taking a spin through the tests at blurbusters.com, it’s easy to see that motion clarity is still an issue relative to quality OLED PC displays. Many of those are larger, support higher refresh rates, and feature much better response times, resulting in much better motion clarity. It won’t be an issue for visual artists working on still images or video editing, but any quick-moving 3D graphics, including (but not limited to) games, will show significant motion clarity problems compared to monitors that cost a fraction of what the Studio Display XDR does. Studio Display XDR: Camera and speakers You’d be forgiven for thinking the webcam has barely been upgraded in the new Studio Displays, judging from the specs. The three-year-old model has a “12MP Center Stage camera,” and the new model has a “12MP Center Stage camera with Desk View.” The image quality is vastly improved, though Desk View is unfortunately not that useful here. The angle captured is still a little high, forcing you to tilt the monitor down quite far to show your desk. It’s a night-and-day difference under any lighting conditions, and especially low light where video from the old Studio Display looks like mud. You still get better results with a modern iPhone using Continuity Camera, but the new Studio Display really closes the gap. Even with a bright key light, the original Studio Display struggles.Foundry White balance, clarity, resolution, and smoothness are all so much better. At this price we still think Apple should be a leader and give us 4K and 60fps recording, but at least the built-in webcam is now genuinely quite good. In low light, the difference between the new and old Studio Display webcam is dramatic. The same can’t be said for the speakers. Apple touts its six-speaker array with Spatial Audio (a marketing term now indiscriminately applied to every Apple product, it seems) as having 30 percent deeper bass than the six-speaker array on the previous Studio Display. It’s noticeably better, but still not very good. The overall sound is tinny and thin, and “Spatial Audio” seems like a joke—there’s barely any stereo separation, much less some sort of 3D, room-filling spatial sound. Monitors are notorious for having terrible built-in speakers, or none at all. The Studio Display’s audio is much better than most, but that’s damning with faint praise. If you care about sound quality at all, invest in dedicated speakers. Even cheap speakers sound better than the Studio Display. Should you buy a Studio Display XDR? The Studio Display XDR shines in its resolution (5K is nice when 4K is so common), color accuracy, brightness, and webcam quality. The speakers are far better than what you get in most monitors, though still not very good. But it’s hard not to criticize the price. At $3,299 it’s three times what it should cost, even for an Apple product. At least the price includes the tilt-and-height adjustable stand, a whopping $400 upgrade for the regular Studio Display, as well as a short 1-meter Thunderbolt 5 cable. And yes, if you order the Nano Texture Glass (+$300) to reduce glare, it still comes with the Apple Polishing Cloth. Sure it’s overpriced, but you get a 1-meter Thunderbolt 5 cable and a polishing cloth!Foundry But consider the alternatives. Just one example of many: the 27-inch Asus ROG Swift PG27UCDM is a QD-OLED 4K display with 99% DCI-P3 color coverage, extremely good color accuracy, a 240Hz refresh rate, much better motion clarity, and HDR peak brightness of 1000 nits. It accepts multiple standard display inputs, has USB-C ports, and delivers 90W of power. Sure, it’s got no webcam or speakers, but it’s $1099. If Apple were to charge only double that for the Studio Display XDR, you could probably convince yourself it’s worth it. Integrated webcam and useable, if not great, speakers. 5K resolution. Higher brightness and wider color gamut. Who needs inputs other than Thunderbolt anyway? We’re used to paying the so-called “Apple Tax” for products with superior design and build quality, but the Studio Display XDR, like the standard Studio Display, pushes the concept too far. It’s a great product for Mac users (and only Mac users), but such a terrible value that it’s hard to recommend it, even if it’s on sale.01:49 pmLaunch Day Discounts Arrive for MacBook Neo, M4 iPad Air, and More

Apple's iPhone 18 Pro models may not have a smaller Dynamic Island after all, despite rumors suggesting that it would see a reduction in size this year, according to a known leaker. Citing recent supply chain information, the leaker known as "Digital Chat Station" claims that the iPhone 18 Pro models may reuse some of their predecessor's molds and chassis designs. Face ID and the Dynamic Island will remain "largely unchanged," with plans to implement under-display Face ID and shrink the size of the Dynamic Island apparently now delayed to the following generation. Instead, the main upgrades will be the 2nm A20 Pro, a 5,000mAh+ battery, and improved large-aperture camera hardware. There has been considerable disagreement between reliable sources on the iPhone 18 Pro's Dynamic Island. Over the past year, there have been mixed rumors about whether the iPhone 18 Pro models will continue to feature a Dynamic Island or have a hole punch camera with under screen Face ID and no Dynamic Island. In January, things seemed to become clearer when Weibo leaker "Instant Digital," "ShrimpApplePro," and DSCC's Ross Young supported the rumor of a narrower Dynamic Island. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman then independently reported that the device would have a smaller Dynamic Island. Thus the latest rumor from "Digital Chat Station" seems to go against the grain, but it is not out of the question. We heard the same rumors about a smaller iPhone 17 Pro Dynamic Island last year, but the Dynamic Island ultimately ended up being the same size. In the long term, Apple apparently wants to create an iPhone that's a slab of glass with no cutouts, and we may see that with the 20th anniversary iPhone in 2027. The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are expected to launch in the fall of 2026.Related Roundup: iPhone 18Tags: Digital Chat Station, Dynamic Island, iPhoneRelated Forum: iPhoneThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forumsFirehose II – Jobs, Deals, Apps
