Apple this month refreshed the 14-inch MacBook Pro base model with its new M5 chip, and higher-end 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips are expected to follow in early 2026. However, these machines will represent the final update to the current design, with Apple reportedly developing a completely new version of the MacBook Pro packed with next-generation hardware features. If you are planning to skip the M5 MacBook Pro, or you're just plain curious about what's coming next, here are the biggest changes rumored to be coming to Apple's premium laptop line and when to expect them – as well as what you'll likely have to pay. M6 Series Chip 2nm Process Apple is in the process of updating the current MacBook Pro lineup with M5 series chips, with the base model already refreshed and higher-end 14-inch and 16-inch models expected early next year. The chips are manufactured with TSMC's third-generation 3nm process, known as N3P, resulting in typical year-over-year performance and power efficiency improvements compared to the M4 series of chips. However, Apple's redesigned MacBook Pro models are expected to boast M6 chips, which could adopt a completely new packaging process. According to one rumor, Apple's A20 chip in next year's iPhone 18 models will switch from the previous InFo (Integrated Fan-Out) packaging to WMCM (Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Module) packaging. WMCM integrates multiple chips within the same package, allowing for the development of more complex chipsets. Components such as the CPU, GPUs, DRAM, and Neural Engine would therefore be more tightly integrated. While we don't know for sure, this could see Apple develop the M6 using the 2nm process while taking advantage of WMCM packaging to make even more powerful versions of its custom processor. OLED Display Goodbye, mini-LED Several rumors have indicated that Apple is developing MacBook Pro models with OLED displays. Display analyst Ross Young in September 2024 said that Apple's supply chain is expected to have sufficient notebook-optimized OLED display production capacity in 2026 to bring the technology to MacBook Pro. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman recently reported that Apple is readying a revamped MacBook Pro with OLED technology, citing people within Apple with knowledge of the matter. Compared to current MacBook Pro models that use mini-LED screens, the benefits of OLED technology would include increased brightness, higher contrast ratio with deeper blacks, improved power efficiency for longer battery life, and more. Thinner, Lighter Laptop Major Redesign The switch to OLED displays could allow future MacBook Pro models to have a thinner design, and rumors suggest that is indeed what Apple intends. When the M4 iPad Pro was unveiled in May 2024, Apple touted it as the company's thinnest product ever. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman subsequently called the iPad Pro the "beginning of a new class of Apple devices." He has since reported that the new machines, code-named K114 and K116, will have "thinner and lighter frames." Apple is apparently focusing on delivering the thinnest possible device without compromising on battery life or major new features. Notably, the MacBook Pro got thicker and heavier with its most recent redesign in 2021. A major highlight was the reintroduction of several ports that were removed in previous iterations in favor of chassis thinness. How Apple will make its redesigned MacBook Pro thinner without removing the functionality it reintroduced fairly recently is the big question. Punch-Hole Camera No More Notch If you are fed up of the notch intruding on your Mac display, here's some good news. Apple plans to remove the notch from the redesigned MacBook Pro, according to a roadmap shared by research firm Omdia. The roadmap indicates that redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models will have a hole-punch camera at the top of the display, rather than the notch we've become accustomed to. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has since corroborated the claim, saying that the design "leaves a display area around the sensor... similar in concept to the Dynamic Island on the iPhone." Such a move would mirror Apple's iPhone evolution, since the iPhone's notch became the current Dynamic Island starting with the iPhone 14 Pro models in 2022. It's unclear whether the MacBook Pro would include Dynamic Island functionality or simply adopt the visual design, but the change would at least address long-standing user complaints about the notch, which physically ingresses into the macOS menu bar. 5G Modem Cellular Connectivity Earlier this year, Apple introduced the C1, its custom-built 5G modem chip which debuted in the entry-level iPhone 16e. More recently, Apple debuted the iPhone Air equipped with a new C1X chip, which is up to 2x faster than the C1. According to Apple, the C1X is the most power-efficient modem in an iPhone. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is considering bringing cellular connectivity to the Mac lineup for the first time. The company is said to be "investigating" the possibility of adding a second-generation C2 modem chip to a future Mac as soon as 2026. The C1 and C1X modem chips are limited to sub-6GHz 5G speeds, but the second-generation version will support faster mmWave technology, according to Gurman. Touch Screen Display On-Cell Touch Technology Apple's first OLED MacBook Pro will feature a touch screen display, according to the latest from Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The claim has since been corroborated by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, noting that the touch-screen MacBook Pro will retain a full trackpad and keyboard. Additionally, Kuo believes the panel will use on-cell touch technology. On-cell touch technology integrates the touch sensors directly into the display panel's top layer (the "cell") rather than requiring a separate, dedicated touch layer. Kuo says that the shift "appears to reflect Apple's long-term observation of iPad user behavior, indicating that in certain scenarios, touch controls can enhance both productivity and the overall user experience." Reinforced Hinge Touch Resistance According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple has developed a reinforced hinge and screen hardware to prevent the display from bouncing back or moving when touched, which the company has identified as a common drawback of existing touch PCs. Details remain scant about Apple's approach at this time, but it could potentially combine a higher-torque hinge with a reinforced display frame to reduce flex, as well as subtle damping features to absorb vibrations from touch input. Pricing Premium Line Apple's redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models are expected to see a fairly hefty price bump, reflecting the cost of newer, more advanced components. Apple currently sells the higher-end configurations starting at $1,999 for the 14-inch model and $2,499 for the 16-inch version, but the next refresh is expected to push those base prices up by several hundred dollars, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Release Timing Predicted Launch Period Research firm Omdia says Apple is "highly likely" to introduce new MacBook Pros featuring OLED displays next year, while Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has said the new OLED machines are being readied for late 2026 or early 2027. Apple has yet to update the current high-end MacBook Pro models with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, and that is expected to happen in early 2026. It would be unusual for Apple to introduce two MacBook Pro refreshes in the same year, but there is precedent for it: Apple updated the MacBook Pro lineup twice in 2023, first with M2 Pro/M2 Max chips in January and then with M3/M3 Pro/M3 Max chips in late October.Related Roundup: MacBook ProBuyer's Guide: MacBook Pro (Buy Now)Related Forum: MacBook ProThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums04:04 pm2026 iPhone rumors: iPhone 18 Pro keeps 2025 design, iPhone 17e gets Dynamic Island

Macworld If you think Apple Maps’ job is to offer an unbiased guide to the streets, buildings, and businesses in a given part of the world, you may need to wise up. Because Apple is expected to sell prominent positions in its search rankings as soon as next year, according to a new report. Three years ago, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported that Apple was mulling a plan to bring more advertising to iOS. This could include Apple Books and Podcasts, he said, along with a cheaper tier of Apple TV+. But the first priority was Apple Maps. According to the latest edition of Gurman’s Power On newsletter, that plan is close to fruition. There is now an expectation, he says, that the ads could start appearing “as early as next year.” The idea is that running a search for “restaurants” or “Mexican food” or “shoe repair” or whatever will produce the same list you currently see, organised according to Apple’s criteria of relevance, proximity, rating and so on. But one or more prominent slots at the top will be given over to paying advertisers, just as is currently the case when you search on the App Store. For an idea of how this currently works, I just searched the App Store for “Map,” and the organic top five for me were Google Maps, Waze, Apple Maps, Google Earth, and Citymapper. But the very top spot was taken by a less well-known app which would otherwise appear (and still does appear) at 10th spot in the list. The fact that this is a paid slot is indicated by a pale blue background color and a tiny “Ad” label under the name of the app. As Gurman observes, Apple is likely to see pushback from customers when ads land on Maps, just as it did when they appeared in News and Stocks back in 2022, or when iMovie started showing ads for Final Cut Pro, or when viewers started spotting Apple products given prominent positions in TV+ shows. One would have thought the company makes enough money from sales of premium hardware and its cut of app revenue, and wouldn’t need to turn everything into an ad. But the pushback didn’t change Apple’s mind before, and it would be naive to expect this time to be any different.02:55 pmWall Street hits new highs on U.S.-China trade optimism

You will soon be able to add a digital version of your U.S. passport to your iPhone, according to Jennifer Bailey, vice president of Apple Pay and Apple Wallet. Bailey reiterated that the feature is coming soon during her keynote at the Money20/20 USA conference in Las Vegas on Sunday, as reported by 9to5Mac. On its iOS 26 page, Apple says the delayed feature will be "coming later this year." Apple's website previously said a software update would be required to use the feature, but it no longer mentions that. As a result, it is unclear if the feature will require an update like iOS 26.1 or iOS 26.2, or if it will be enabled with a server-side update. After creating a digital passport in the Wallet app, you will be able to present it in person at TSA checkpoints in select U.S. airports for identity verification purposes during domestic travel. However, Apple says it is not a replacement for a physical passport, and it cannot be used for international travel and border crossing purposes. Apple says the Digital ID feature is secure, private, and compliant with REAL ID. It will also be possible to use the Digital ID feature for age and identity verification in apps, online, and in stores, according to Apple. Apple says the feature will be compatible with U.S. passports only. However, perhaps it will expand to additional countries in the future. iOS 26 is compatible with the iPhone 11 series and newer.Related Roundups: iOS 26, iPadOS 26Tag: Apple WalletRelated Forum: iOS 26This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums02:39 pmTwo iPhone designs for next year’s new models detailed by leaker

I'm using the iOS Google Maps SDK to show maps in my app. On my maps, I also show some map markers. This has been working great, however I want the map to ignore the safe areas of the device so that it stretches to the full width (behind any notches and bottom tab bars). The problem I'm running into is that when I apply .ignoresSafeArea() to the map, all of my map markers get off of, like so: This only happens when I add .ignoresSafeArea(). Without it, the markers show normally. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Here is my SwiftUI code that shows the map: import GoogleMaps struct MapView: View { @EnvironmentObject var apiManager: ApiManager private var mapOptions: GMSMapViewOptions { var options = GMSMapViewOptions() return options } var body: some View { ZStack { GoogleMapView(options: mapOptions) .mapMarkers(MapHelper.convertToGoogleMarkers(markers: apiManager.markers)) .ignoresSafeArea() } .task { getMapMarkers() } .navigationBarHidden(true) } func getMapMarkers() { Task { await apiManager.fetchAllMapMarkers() } } } And here is the UIViewRepresentable for GoogleMapView: import SwiftUI import GoogleMaps /// A SwiftUI wrapper for GMSMapView that displays a map with optional markers and configurable map type struct GoogleMapView: UIViewRepresentable { // Configuration properties - set at initialization private let options: GMSMapViewOptions /// Array of markers to display on the map private var markers: [GMSMarker] /// Type of map to display (normal, satellite, hybrid, terrain) private let mapType: GMSMapViewType // Runtime updatable properties private var camera: GMSCameraPosition?

What could be the issue with my custom markers? // let markerView = MarkerUIView(marker: mapMarker, showOrder: showOrder) // // let size = markerView.systemLayoutSizeFitting(UIView.layoutFittingCompressedSize) // markerView.frame = CGRect(origin: .zero, size: size) // // marker.iconView = markerView Here is my MapMarkerView: import SwiftUI import MapKit struct MapMarkerView: View { var marker: MapMarker2 var showOrder: Bool = false let circleBorderWidth: CGFloat = 4 var body: some View { VStack(spacing: 0) { ZStack { let color = marker.hexColor != nil ?

Apple's upcoming iPhone 17e may feature the Dynamic Island, according to a known online leaker. The leaker known as "Digital Chat Station" shared the information on Weibo in the comments of a post detailing that Apple's apparent plan to equip next year's iPhone 18 Pro models with a variable aperture lens. The Dynamic Island is a pill-shaped interactive area at the top of the screen that displays ongoing activities, incorporating the camera and other front-facing sensors. It was introduced in place of the "notch" with the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max and expanded to the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus a year later. It has yet to be present on any entry-level iPhones. The leaker added that despite the presence of the Dynamic Island, the iPhone 17e will retain a 60Hz OLED display. This would mean the device essentially shares the same panel as the 6.1-inch iPhone 15 and iPhone 16, which seems believable as Apple's entry level devices largely re-use slightly older technology from other products. The leaker corroborated reports that the device will launch in the first half of 2026, probably around a year after the launch of the iPhone 16e in February. It is likely to feature the A19 chip, with few other enhancements.Tag: Digital Chat StationThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums01:54 pmSpotify launches new Apple TV 4K app with big feature upgrades

Apple might be preparing iPad apps for Pixelmator Pro, Compressor, Motion, and MainStage, according to new App Store IDs uncovered by MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris. All four of the apps are currently available on the Mac only. A quick overview of each app: Pixelmator Pro: Professional image editing app acquired by Apple earlier this year Compressor: Final Cut Pro companion app for compressing audio and video files Motion: Final Cut Pro companion app for creating 2D/3D titles, transitions, and effects MainStage: Logic Pro companion app for live performancesThere is already a less-capable Pixelmator app available for the iPad and iPhone. Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro have been available on select iPad models since May 2023, but Apple's companion apps have remained limited to the Mac. A subscription is required to use Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro on the iPad. In the U.S., the iPad versions of both apps cost $4.99 per month, or $49 per year. Pixelmator Pro, Compressor, Motion, and MainStage are available for one-time purchase on the Mac, with prices ranging from $29.99 to $49.99. It is unclear if Apple would make the iPad versions of these apps require a subscription too. It is also unclear when Apple would announce these iPad apps. The annual Final Cut Pro Creative Summit is typically held in November, and Apple occasionally times these sorts of announcements with the conference, but the next edition of the event is postponed until spring 2026.

Macworld The social media network formerly known as Twitter has announced that it is retiring the Twitter.com domain on November 10. That probably won’t mean much to most people’s day-to-day use, with one big exception: security. The X Safety account posted a message that says users who use a physical security key or virtual passkey as their two-factor authentication (2FA) method will need to re-enroll their key to continue accessing the site. After November 10, the account reports, accounts that haven’t re-enrolled will be locked. The account says the change “only impacts Yubikeys and passkeys,” so other 2FA methods should continue working properly. You can re-enroll your existing security key, remove it, or enroll a new one by heading over to your profile, then Settings and privacy > Security and account access > Security > Two-factor authentication. To add or change a passkey, you’ll need to go back a page to the Security settings, flip the Passkey toggle, and follow the prompts. While security keys are physical devices that either plug in or connect wirelessly to your device, passkeys merely use your device’s existing biometrics (Face ID or Touch ID) to authenticate your account without typing a password every time. The process takes just a few seconds.12:18 pmHow do you capture ratings / user feedback?

A leaker has jumped on a pair of rumors discussing a change in release schedule and a variable-aperture camera system for the iPhone 18 lineup.iPhone 17 Pro has a new wider camera bar, which could feasibly contain a variable aperture mechanism. After the launch of a new iPhone range, the rumor mill eventually turns its attention to next year's releases. In one leaker's posting on Monday, they are making up for lost time by discussing two rumors in one post.The Weibo-based "Digital Chat Station" claims to have "supply chain information" about the iPhone 18 series, with changes being made to the Pro range. Chiefly, this will mean the iPhone 18 Pro Max will have "variable aperture materials."

Apple could debut LOFIC camera sensor technology in its 2027 iPhone lineup, according to new information coming out of Korea. The tech would allow iPhones to capture photos with far more detail in both bright and dark areas of the same shot without losing information in either. LOFIC, or Lateral Overflow Integration Capacitor, is a next-generation imaging technology that enables each pixel to store varying amounts of light based on scene brightness. This allows a sensor to capture detail in both bright highlights and dark shadows within a single frame, potentially reaching up to 20 stops of dynamic range – comparable to high-end cinema cameras and approaching the range of human vision. According to the account name "yeux1122" on the Korean-langauge Naver blog, Chinese manufacturers including Honor, Xiaomi, and Huawei plan to adopt LOFIC technology in their 2026 flagship smartphones using new Sony sensors, while OPPO and Vivo are also developing LOFIC-equipped models for release next year. Apple's adoption will reportedly follow in 2027. Apple first detailed LOFIC in an image sensor patent filed in July, describing a stacked sensor design with a dedicated light-capture layer and a processing layer that handles real-time noise reduction. Apple has reportedly already developed a working prototype and may be testing it in developmental hardware. Apple currently uses sensors made by Sony across the iPhone lineup. Those sensors also use a two-layer design, but Apple's proposed version includes several innovative features and takes up less space. Based on the adoption roadmap in today's report, Apple could be planning to debut its custom image sensor in the 20th anniversary iPhone. Apple is reportedly considering a radical redesign for the anniversary model that could feature a completely bezel-less display that curves around all four edges of the device.

Macworld You may not think much about it, but the virtual keyboard is one of the most essential parts of how the iPhone works. Over the years, Apple has made countless refinements to make typing easier, from auto-correct and predictive suggestions to swipe typing and smarter layouts. However, since the release of iOS 26 last month, a growing number of users have been complaining that something feels off. If you’ve noticed more typos than usual, you’re not alone. And it turns out there really is a bug affecting the iPhone’s virtual keyboard. Typing the right letter, but getting the wrong one instead A YouTuber named Michi NekoMichi recently shared a video compiling complaints about the iPhone keyboard. According to NekoMichi’s video, he is “making more mistakes than usual” when typing in iOS 26. He’s not alone. In the comments section, multiple iPhone users shared the same frustration, claiming that their devices are inserting the wrong letters even when they’re sure they tapped the correct key. Some users speculate that the issue might be worse on newer iPhones with thinner bezels, since the keyboard sits closer to the edges of the display. Others believe it’s related to display sensitivity or touchscreen issues. However, given that users of different iPhone models have been reporting the same bug, the problem is likely related to iOS rather than hardware. To investigate, Michi recorded a slow-motion video of himself typing the same phrase repeatedly in the Notes app on an iPhone running iOS 26.0.1, the latest public release. The footage shows that the system often replaces one letter with another for no apparent reason. For instance, pressing “U” sometimes results in “J.” There’s no clear pattern: the same word can produce different errors on separate attempts. “As a fellow longtime iOS user, I’ve noticed this for a couple of years now and have been pulling my hair out trying to figure it out,” one user wrote. Another simply said, “I knew I wasn’t crazy.” Similar reports have also surfaced on Reddit, X, and Apple’s own discussion forums. Some say it’s most noticeable when typing fast, while others claim it happens even when slowly tapping one letter at a time. Curious, I tried the same experiment myself. Using my iPhone 17 Pro Max running iOS 26.1 beta 4, I filmed a slow-motion video while typing a few phrases, and the bug showed up immediately. In one test, I repeatedly typed “thumbs up,” and several times the system replaced letters I had correctly tapped. In one case, pressing “H” produced a “U” instead. The cause remains unclear At first glance, it’s easy to blame auto-correct, but that doesn’t seem to be the reason. The keyboard registers the correct tap, and yet the output changes afterward, meaning the issue likely occurs after input recognition, not before. Even disabling auto-correction didn’t make a difference. The iPhone keyboard in iOS 26 often registers the wrong keystroke despite tapping the correct key.Foundry Apple’s virtual keyboard relies heavily on machine learning to adapt to each user’s typing habits. It constantly learns from your messages and notes to improve suggestions and accuracy. If the bug lies in this adaptive layer, that could explain why the problem appears inconsistently. It’s also possible that the problem is tied to Apple’s keyboard prediction model, which silently expands touch areas for likely letters. For example, after typing “He,” the system predicts that “L” is the most probable next character and adjusts the keyboard’s touch zones accordingly. But even this mechanism seems to behave correctly in the slow-motion recordings, suggesting that something else is interfering with how the input is processed. In short, the bug seems to happen after the keyboard accepts the correct keypress, not because of user error or predictive modeling. No fix in sight, but iOS 26.1 could change that So far, Apple hasn’t publicly acknowledged this keyboard issue. The only thing affected users can do is file feedback using Apple’s Feedback Assistant (available online or as part of beta versions of iOS). Apple has a history of quietly fixing minor bugs without acknowledging them publicly in changelogs, so there’s a chance this keyboard issue could be patched silently as well. The company is currently testing iOS 26.1, which is expected to be released in the coming weeks. While the issue persists in the latest beta, with any luck, Apple will address this glitch before it becomes one of those annoying issues that quietly persist through multiple updates.11:13 amTwitter.com domain is being ‘retired,’ says X; action required by Nov 10
