Apple Just Shared Bad News
Apple has just given a strong indication that it will not be releasing any additional new Macs for the remainder of the year. Apple's CFO Kevan Parekh dropped the hint during the company's earnings call on Thursday:On Mac, keep in mind, we expect to face a very difficult compare against the M4 MacBook Pro, Mac mini, and iMac launches in the year-ago quarter.Parekh essentially gave a heads up that Apple's Mac revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025 might not grow significantly compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, given there will be fewer new Macs released this quarter than were in the year-ago quarter. In other words, he implicitly suggested that Apple has no further Mac releases planned for 2025. Earlier this month, Apple updated the lowest-end 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M5 chip, but it did not release any MacBook Pro models with M5 Pro or M5 Max chips, and the Mac mini and iMac did not receive any hardware updates. AppleInsider previously reported that MacBook Pro models with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips would launch in 2026, and Parekh's comment seems to support that. Mac mini and iMac models with M5 chips also appear to be slated for 2026, while the MacBook Air, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro were always rumored to be updated next year. A lower-cost MacBook with an A18 Pro or A19 Pro chip is also rumored to launch in late 2025 or early 2026, but given Parekh's comment, early 2026 sounds more likely. This model is expected to be the spiritual successor to the MacBook Air with an M1 chip, which is still sold exclusively by Walmart for $599 in the United States.Related Roundups: iMac, MacBook Pro, Mac miniBuyer's Guide: iMac (Caution), MacBook Pro (Buy Now), Mac Mini (Neutral)Related Forums: iMac, MacBook Pro, Mac miniThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums02:10 pmNext year’s AirPods lineup could be Apple’s biggest ever

After acquiring Serif last year, Canva has overhauled its Affinity design suite, consolidating three creative tools into a single free app for Mac and Windows. The newly launched Affinity by Canva unifies vector, photo, and layout capabilities that were previously spread across separate Designer, Photo, and Publisher apps. So instead of juggling multiple apps, users can now switch between the three modes through dedicated Vector, Pixel, and Layout tabs within one interface. The redesigned app includes a customizable workspace where creators can mix tools from different studios, rearrange panels, and save multiple setups for specific project types. Custom configurations can also be shared with teams and communities for standardizing workflows. Following Canva's 2024 acquisition of Serif, the integration brings some other changes that might give longtime Affinity users pause. Everyone now needs a Canva account to access the software, but signing up is free. Canva premium subscribers also get AI tools directly within Affinity, including Generative Fill, Expand & Edit, and Remove Background features. In a clear bid to rival Adobe, Canva's decision to ship the app for free is likely to be a welcome surprise for users who feared a subscription model was looming. "There's no catch, no stripped-back version, and no gotchas," said Ash Hewson, CEO of Affinity, commenting on the launch. But while Affinity insists the core app will remain free without restrictions, the account requirement and AI upsells signal a freemium approach. Whether longtime users will appreciate trading a one-time purchase for ongoing Canva integration remains to be seen. An iPad version is planned for release next year, and existing Affinity V2 license holders can continue using their purchased software if they prefer to stick with the older model without the Canva integrations. Affinity can be downloaded from the Affinity Studio website.This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums12:53 pmEmergency LKE Maintenance – US-Central (Dallas)

Macworld In its conference call to discuss its record-breaking Q4 on Thursday, Apple divulged some information about the future of Apple Intelligence, which has been stuck in limbo since the new Siri was delayed earlier this year. But there’s good news: Apple is on track to deliver the overdue features next year. In comments to analysts during and after the earnings report, CEO Tim Cook said Apple is “making good progress” on the upgraded Siri and is on track to release the new assistant next year. That’s typically vague, but most reports say the feature will arrive as part of iOS 26.4 or 26.5 in the spring. Even if the new Siri arrives in March, the earlier side of estimates, it will be more than a year since Apple promised the feature as part of iOS 18. The new Siri includes several features, including App Intents, which allows Siri to integrate with third-party apps, and screen awareness, which allows Siri to see and understand what’s on your screen. Additionally, Siri is expected to be more personal, using mail, messages, and web history to build user profiles. In addition to the new Siri, Cook also told CNBC that Apple is planning to “integrate with more (AI tools) over time,” another promise we’ve heard before. Apple added ChatGPT to Apple Intelligence with iOS 18.2 last year, and persistent rumors have claimed Apple is in talks with Perplexity and Google for Gemini integration.12:34 pmMacBook Pro M5 review: Iterative, yes, but worth every penny
The new MacBook Pro with Apple's M5 chip is here, and while it doesn't look any different, the AI and GPU upgrades are worth the upgrade cost.If you're at all familiar with Apple's MacBook Pro lineup, the design of the new M5 model won't shock you. Apple typically has different tiers for the pro laptops.There is a base 14-inch model with the standard processor, followed by 14-inch and 16-inch models that come equipped with either the "pro" or "max" processor versions. It's the two higher-end models that usually see the design innovation.That base 14-inch version, the one I'm looking at here, is usually last to be updated and occasionally sees features trickle down from its pricier brethren. Still, a lack of physical changes doesn't negate the reliable performance found here.

Apple is building up inventory for its first foldable iPhone in preparation for the device's launch next year, claims a Chinese leaker with proven sources within Apple's supply chain. According to Weibo-based account Fixed Focus Digital, Apple is now stockpiling key components for its long-rumored foldable iPhone, which we are tentatively referring to as "iPhone Fold." The leaker did not elaborate, but Apple is likely securing supplies of advanced parts including foldable OLED displays, titanium frames, and complex hinge assemblies that reportedly combine several materials. The move suggests Apple is entering the crucial pre-production phase, where suppliers begin ramping output ahead of full mass production. Some of these components may have long lead times and high failure rates, so early stock-building helps reduce risk and smooth the eventual launch pipeline. Apple's foldable iPhone is reportedly similar in style to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold, which uses a book-style folding mechanism, rather than the clamshell design of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. When folded, users will interact with a 5.5-inch outer display that is similar to a typical iPhone screen, while unfolding it will reveal a larger 7.8-inch iPad-style screen. The inner display is said to be virtually crease-free, with some sources claiming it features an under-screen camera. The outer screen is said to have a punch-hole camera, while authentication is handled by Touch ID integrated into the side button, rather than Face ID. There's also a dual-lens camera on the rear. According to analyst Jeff Pu, the frame is made from a mix of titanium and aluminum. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has also said Apple is using multiple materials, but he believes the main ones are titanium and stainless steel. Kuo also believes some hinge components will be made from Liquidmetal for further durability. The foldable iPhone is rumored to be as thin as 4.5mm when opened up, which would make it even thinner than the iPhone Air, so titanium is likely being used to prevent bending issues. With display and mechanical engineering challenges unlike any current iPhone, Apple's logistical groundwork hints that its first foldable device may finally be nearing reality. The iPhone Fold is expected to be part of the iPhone 18 lineup, launching in September 2026.Tags: Fixed Focus Digital, Foldable iPhoneThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums11:23 amMIA (Miami) on 2025-11-06

Occasionally, we’ll get some hardware release in November as well. This year is shaping up to follow the expected pattern—here’s what we think is coming this month from Apple. Updated AirTag, HomePod mini, and Apple TV There are still three new pieces of hardware that have been rumored for a late 2025 release. It’s getting late in the year, but Apple has released new products as late as December 20, so it’s still possible that any or all of these arrive this month: Updated AirTag: Potentially called AirTag 2, the main differences are a new U2 chip that allows for a longer tracking range and improved battery life, and a speaker that is harder to disable. Updated HomePod mini: Also maybe called HomePod mini 2, this should upgrade the S5 processor to something more modern that will better support future Apple Intelligence features. It should also have Apple’s N1 networking chip, the upgraded U2 chip, and better sound quality. Apple TV 4K (4th gen): The A15 should be updated to an A17 Pro, with the goal of supporting future Apple Intelligence features. This product should also get Apple’s N1 wireless chip. Interestingly, there have been some rumors to suggest Apple might put a camera on the Apple TV 4K, either for FaceTime or potentially AI features like recognizing who is watching. Apps and software updates This year, the x.1 updates landed a little later than usual. We only just got release candidates of iOS 26.1, macOS 26.1, and all the other 26.1 updates in the last week of October, which means the wide release will come right at the start of November, likely Monday. This polishes up the interface a little and adds several quality-of-life improvements like an Alarm that’s harder to accidentally turn off, swiping to change tracks in Apple Music, the ability to tint the Liquid Glass effect, and more. iPadOS 26.1 adds Slide Over back, as well. Right around the start of November we should get the first beta releases of the 26.2 updates. We don’t expect any major new features, but again something of the same scope as the 26.1 updates: polish and some quality-of-life improvements. They could arrive in December or early in the new year. Services Apple TV+ Here are the shows, series, and movies we expect to release on Apple TV+ in TK. If you want to know what’s coming later, check our full guide to upcoming Apple TV+ content. Early November sees the debut of Pluribus, the next big series from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul creator Vince Gilligan. It may be the most significant release from Apple for the month. Pluribus: The most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness in “Breaking Bad” creator Vince Gilligan’s new show. November 7 Palm Royale (season 2): Season 2 of the comedy-drama about Maxine Simmons, a woman trying to con her way into the high society of Palm Beach. November 12 Come See Me in the Good Light: A funny love story about poets Andrea Gibson and Megan Falley facing an incurable cancer diagnosis with joy, wit and an unshakable partnership. November 14 The Family Plan 2: Yes, they made a sequel to the critically panned Mark Wahlberg “assassin turned family man” action comedy from 2023. November 21 Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age: The third installment of this fascinating nature series explores what prehistoric life was like for animals in the last ice age. November 26 WondLa (season 3): The final season of this animated family series focuses on a war between humans and aliens. November 26 Apple Arcade Apple releases most Apple Arcade games on the first Friday of each month. Check our Apple Arcade FAQ for a full list of Apple Arcade games and more details on the service. Occasionally, games are released with no forewarning, but you’ll usually see next month’s releases listed in the Coming Soon section. Toca Boca Jr. Classics: A collection of 9 games made for ages 4-10. November 6 MySims Kingdom: A retro re-release of this exploration and crafting game for kids.

Here's everything you need to know to get started using the Camera in iOS 26.iOS 26 CameraPhotography and videography have been a core part of the smartphone experience for quite some time. With the camera capabilities of the iPhone used frequently as a marketing tool, it is also evidently close to the heart of Apple itself.As one of the most-used apps in Apple's ecosystem, the Camera is the primary way users capture photos or videos of events. It is used to make memories that they can view and share with others, and is arguably as important as basic features like using iMessage.

Macworld Apple Mail is a decent alternative to Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Spark, and all the other email clients available for the Mac. But even though Apple has been delivering its in-house mail client for years and regularly updates it, it doesn’t come without criticisms–it could be a much better email client if it weren’t for these annoyances. Half-hearted AI implementation Since macOS 15.4 and iOS 18.4, Apple Intelligence has been an integral part of the operating system and also of Apple Mail, but Apple Intelligence can still only “tinker” with email texts–summaries, smart replies, writing tools, and a bit more. There is enormous potential for AI features, especially in email management and spam detection. Instead of relying on real artificial intelligence, Apple Mail continues to rely on so-called “intelligent” folders for organization and spam detection. That is not enough. Catastrophic spam detection Because Apple does not currently rely on AI for this and has apparently not made any improvements to the algorithms for “intelligent” spam detection for years, Apple Mail’s filter function is disastrous. It practically doesn’t work at all on the iPhone and iPad, and on the Mac, the results are hit and miss. Long-time Apple Mail users know the problem: the same annoying spam messages that have been moved to the spam folder countless times end up in the inbox again and again. At the same time, important emails disappear into the spam folder for completely obscure reasons. This is particularly annoying when it comes to really important messages, like bills that are due. Smart mailboxes are not smart Anyone using Apple Mail with intelligent mailboxes for email management quickly realizes that the “intelligence” is based on mere filters. Users have to manually list criteria such as “sender – contains – @nerviger-newsletter.de” in order to sort emails specifically. This was a great innovation in 2005 when Apple Mail 2.0 came out and introduced this feature. 20 years later and in light of the AI revolution, it looks old: Even in OS 26, the “intelligence” is limited to creating long if-then lists in the Apple Mail interface. If you like long, confusing lists, you can use the Smart Mailbox function in Apple Mail. Foundry An increasingly confusing app Apple Mail originally goes back to Nextmail, the mail client of Steve Jobs’ NextStep operating system, which formed the basis for today’s Apple operating systems. Unfortunately, Apple hasn’t dared to undertake a fundamental redesign of the UI since then but it continues to tack on new functions. The result: Apple Mail is extremely confusing, particularly on the Mac, especially when multiple mail accounts and smart and local folders come into play. To improve the overview, Apple has gradually introduced features such as mail flags, the VIP folder, and the conversation view. The latest “masterpiece” was the addition of mail categories, which makes things even more complicated for many users. Fortunately, many of these functions can be deactivated so that a little order can be restored. Even the settings are confusing. Numerous menus create even more chaos. Foundry Menus, menus, menus What cannot be switched off is Apple’s menu mania in Apple Mail for Mac. There is the settings menu, which has grown into a confusing mess over the years. The same applies to the menu bar, which contains dozens of tick boxes and where a small operating error can completely ruin the appearance of Apple Mail. The meaning of the individual menu items sometimes requires an advanced diploma in software design. If that wasn’t bad enough, there is, of course, the context menu, which simply contains too many menu items that are hardly organized logically. There is not much left of Apple’s basic idea of simple usability here. Mail categories The Mail app on the Mac is so messed up that even things that are supposed to make it better cause even more chaos. Since macOS 15/iOS 18, Apple Mail automatically recognizes whether an email is important, contains a transaction or news, or whether it is advertising (not spam, because the English word here is “promotions”). Unfortunately, the tabs hide all other emails. If you are in the wrong tab, it is easy to overlook important messages. The categorization itself is more like a lottery than a clear logic: important emails suddenly end up under “Advertising,” transactions appear everywhere but not in the proper tab. It is practically impossible to adjust the categorization manually, as emails can only be assigned to the predefined categories. Account synchronization limits Anyone who uses multiple email accounts in Apple Mail will be familiar with the problem when switching to new devices. Mail accounts already set up on a Mac are transferred to another Mac, but not to an iPhone or iPad. Conversely, accounts remain within the iOS system: If you add a new iPad to your iPhone, you will find the accounts there, but not on a Mac. This is particularly annoying because mail accounts often have to be painstakingly set up again, even though Apple actually provides the technology to automatically synchronize accounts on all devices with iCloud and the keychain. Setting up mail accounts is sometimes like a game of chance. Added to this is the lack of synchronisation between iOS and Mac. Account login hiccups Suddenly, Apple Mail wants the password for an account, or the account cannot be recognized at all during setup. This is usually due to a problem with the mail server, but Apple Mail tends to show weaknesses, especially with IMAP accounts from third-party providers that are neither Apple, Google, Microsoft, nor AOL. There are two reasons for this: Firstly, the setup interface is rather confusing, and secondly, Apple Mail sometimes seems simply unreliable when it comes to configuration. Some accounts cannot be added on individual devices, but then suddenly can be added to others. What is frustrating is that users have little influence over this. Missing attachments that can’t load “Here’s an important file!” The problem is that Apple Mail displays the attachment, but it cannot be opened or downloaded. The only solution is to ask the sender of the message to send the files again separately. Conversely, Apple Mail can also play this game and send attachments in such a way that the recipient does not receive them correctly, or some files are missing. This has been a problem for years. But whether and how it occurs seems to depend on the combination of mail software used by the sender and recipient. In any case, Apple Mail plays its own role here. Upgrade crash game With every new macOS or iOS version, the Mail app also receives a new version number, and this often causes instability and crashes. Particularly dreaded is the message “Updating the Mail database” on the first start after an upgrade. After that, problems tend to occur: lost emails or attachments, forgotten passwords, or even severe crashes. Apple Mail is particularly sensitive here, so the only real solution is usually to wait for the first bugfix release of the new operating system version.09:15 amiFixit posts M5 iPad Pro teardown report

The iPhone is the most popular consumer electronic device on Earth, and its various other products are industry-leading in their own right.It isn't unusual for Apple to let investors know when it's earned more money in a certain segment, or gained more users for a new product. However, what is unusual is just how many of those records were broken, or at least called out directly, during the Q4 2025 earnings call.

Apple held its earnings call for the fourth fiscal quarter (third calendar quarter) of 2025 today. With quarterly revenue of $102.5 billion, Apple set a new September quarter revenue record, beating analyst expectations. Apple CEO Tim Cook and Apple CFO Kevan Parekh provided insight into iPhone sales, holiday quarter expectations, and more. We've rounded up the most interesting takeaways from the call. iPhone 17 Sales Cook said that demand for the iPhone 17 models is "off the chart." Traffic in stores is up significantly, and Cook said that consumer reception is "very strong." Apple set a September quarter record for upgraders. iPhone supply was constrained during the quarter, and several iPhone 17 models are still constrained. Cook said Apple is working hard to fulfill all the orders that it has. When asked why the iPhone 17 was doing so well, Cook said the following: I think it's all about the product. The product lineup is incredibly strong or strong as ever. The 17 Pro is the most pro phone we've ever done. It's incredible. And the design sings. The iPhone air feels so thin and so light in your hand, it feels like it's going to fly away. And then the 17 phone is an incredible value, and takes several of the features that were reserved for pro before and brings them down to the consumer lineup. So overall, strongest iPhone lineup ever, and it's resonating around the world. iPad Though Apple refreshed the iPad lineup with the iPad Pro, many other iPads haven't had an update as of late. iPad sales were flat, with $6.95 billion in revenue. Half of customers who purchased an iPad during the quarter were new to the product. Mac Mac sales were up, thanks to the launch of new MacBook Air models this year. Mac revenue was $8.7 billion, up from $7.7 billion last year. The Mac install base reached a new all-time high. Apple said next quarter's Mac sales won't be as impressive because of an "extremely difficult compare." Last year, Apple launched several Macs late in the year, but this year the company only released the M5 MacBook Pro. Wearables, Home and Accessories Apple's wearables category includes the Apple Watch and Vision Pro. Sales were slightly down at $9.01 billion compared to $9.04 billion last year. Services Apple's Services segment hit a new all-time revenue record, reaching $28.8 billion, up from $25 billion in the year-ago quarter. Services set revenue records in Americas, Europe, Japan, Rest of Asia Pacific, and a September quarter record in Greater China. Payment services hit an all-time revenue record and there was double-digit growth on Apple Pay active users. Services revenue has surpassed $100 billion for the year, up 14 percent. Siri Revamp Apple is still on track to release an upgraded version of Siri next year, according to Cook. Apple is also planning for more partnerships like the ChatGPT integration in Apple Intelligence. AI Parekh said that Apple is "significantly increasing" its investments in AI, with operating expenses between $18.1 and $18.5 billion expected. Cook said that Apple is continuing to develop its Apple foundation models, and several are in development. But he also said that Apple continually looks at the market and is open to pursuing an acquisition if it will advance the company's roadmap. China Despite strong iPhone sales, revenue in China was down significantly. Cook said that China is expected to return to growth in the December quarter because of the reception to the iPhone 17. Revenue in China was $14.5 billion, down from $15 billion last year, and below analyst expectations of approximately $16.4 billion. Tariffs Apple said that it had $1.1 billion in tariff-related costs in Q4 2025. Apple expects $1.4 billion in tariff-related costs next quarter, assuming that nothing changes. It does include the recent tariff change on goods imported from China, which dropped to 10 percent from 20 percent. December Quarter Apple CEO Tim Cook said that total company revenue would grow 10 to 12 percent year over year in the December quarter. iPhone revenue is expected to grow double digits, and Apple is projecting that it will have its best December quarter ever.Tag: EarningsThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums10:06 pmWhatsApp Testing Apple Watch App

Apple CEO Tim Cook was only asked about iPhone Air's early performance once, and he didn't say a single meaningful word about it. We're not surprised.Apple CEO Tim CookWe were surprised. After a month of drama from analysts complaining about iPhone Air sales not being what they wanted, one analyst in the last 10 minutes of the call asked Tim Cook about it. Cook dodged the question reminding the listeners that they don't break out individual model sales.And, he didn't volunteer anything about it at all in any other comment or in the preamble, other than saying that the iPhone 17 is generally constrained, worldwide.

At the close of market, before the earnings result, AAPL closed at $271.40 before after-hours trading.As of 5:57 PM eastern time, the stock rose to $271.40.

Apple's Q1 2026 forecast has warned that Macs will see a tough compare year-over-year to end the year since just about the entire consumer and prosumer Mac lines were updated in time for the 2024 holiday quarter, versus one model refresh before for 2025.Only one MacBook Pro got an update in October 2025Rewind to October 2024, and Apple has just revealed the M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max to be used in all models of MacBook Pro. It was a surprise to see all the chipsets at once, and that bundle of hardware sold well through the holiday quarter.According to SVP Kevan Parekh during Apple's quarterly earnings call, Apple expects the upcoming Q1 2026 to be a tough compare for Mac. That's simply due to Apple releasing only one updated Mac in the fall — the MacBook Pro with M5. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums09:43 pmApple posts record Q4 2025, with double-digit Mac sales increase
Macworld Apple held its fourth quarter 2025 financial results on Thursday, and the company posted revenue of $102.5 billion, an 8 percent year-over-year increase, and quarterly diluted earnings per share of $1.85. The company reported $27.5 billion in profit. “Our September quarter results capped off a record fiscal year, with revenue reaching $416 billion, as well as double-digit EPS growth,” Apple Kevan Parekh said in a press release. “And thanks to our very high levels of customer satisfaction and loyalty, our installed base of active devices also reached a new all-time high across all product categories and geographic segments.” Mac sales were up almost 13 percent year-over-year. which is impressive when considering that the fourth quarter did not see a new Mac release. (The recently released M5 MacBook Pro will be reflected in Q1 2026, and the Mac Studio and MacBook Air released in March are part of Q3 2025.) It is the quarter that includes back-to-school sales, which may account for some of the growth. Apple Services continues to be a major contributor to Apple’s revenue, with a 15 percent increase in Q4. The iPhone, while generating over $49 billion in revenue, saw an increase of only 6 percent. The iPhone 17 lineups and the iPhone Air were released on September 19, eight days before the close of Q4. Sales of those new iPhones will be better reflected in the next financial quarter. How the quarter ended year-over-year for Apple: iPhone: $44.0 billion (up from $46.2 billion) iPad: $6.95 billion (no major change) Mac: $8.7 billion (up from $7.7 billion) Wearables, Home, and Accessories: $9 billion (no major change) Services: $28.8 billion (up from $25 billion) Apple’s board of directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.26 per share. The dividend is payable on November 13 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 10.09:25 pmDiscount code: Block ads and data trackers forever with this top-rated service
