Well, in such situations, one of these electric air dusters like the Wolfbox MF70 will be so useful. Now available for just $40 at Amazon, you can clean your keys for $20 less than you’d usually pay. This air duster comes with a motor that spins up to 111,000 RPM, sending a focused stream of air into all those nooks and crannies, clearing dust and crumbs without touching delicate parts. Of course, if the job requires a more delicate approach, you can change the speed to 25,000 RPM for sensitive electronics and 60,000 RPM for routine dusting. That gentle low setting is perfect to use for all your Apple products, whether you’re tackling your keyboard or your iPhone speaker. Another amazing thing about this Wolfbox MF70 is that it’s cordless and rechargeable, so you can move freely around your desk. On the lowest speed, a full charge lasts up to 300 minutes, which is months of cleaning. And when you need to fill it up, you can use a regular USB-C cable to recharge it. You’ll also get several attachments for smaller spaces. So stop buying cans of compressed air and grab the Wolfbox MF70 for $40 before the deal runs out.

The best touchscreen MacBook is already on your desk | Macworld
The best touchscreen MacBook is already on your desk
Macworld Apple rarely arrives first to the party, but it tends to deliver an innovative twist when it eventually catches up to its rivals. AirPods, Face ID, Apple Watch, even the iPhone Duo weren’t the first of their kind, but they stood out for their leaps in design and functionality. However, as the launch of Apple’s first touchscreen MacBook Pro just proved, that’s not always the case. Commercial touchscreen laptops have been around for almost two decades. Despite that, standard models have remained the default for valid reasons, most notably due to their perfect ergonomics. Instead of perfecting the formula as it usually does, Apple distracted fans with a recycled favorite—slapping on a glowing logo that had been retired a decade ago. What makes the touchscreen MacBook especially baffling is how unnecessary it is. Apple already figured out the touchscreen setup back in 2019, and it’s been hiding in plain sight all these years. Sidecar attachment Sidecar was released as part of macOS Catalina in 2019. Billed as a way to expand your workspace, it essentially lets you use an iPad as an external wireless display for your Mac. Once it’s connected via AirPlay, you can drag Mac windows to your iPad’s screen and interact with them as you would on your Mac. Most controls were previously limited to Apple Pencil or mouse and keyboard input, but with macOS 27, you can use your fingers, too. There’s even a handy Sidebar on the ‌iPad‌ for common controls, like bringing up the on-screen keyboard or returning to the iPad’s Home screen, along with the Touch Bar that was previously included with certain MacBook models. Sidecar turns your iPad into a wireless external display for your MacBook.Apple Unhinged design Steve Jobs famously opposed touchscreen laptops because “after an extended period of time, your arm wants to fall off.” When reading early rumors about the touchscreen MacBook, I had expected—or at least hoped—Apple would do something different by incorporating an innovative hinge mechanism. A convertible form factor would have allowed users to interact with the touchscreen horizontally and easily switch back to the traditional laptop mode whenever needed. Alas, that did not come to fruition. I acknowledge that we shouldn’t take everything Steve ever said as gospel because technology evolves, but many of his remarks still hold true today. The main issue with touchscreen laptops has never been weight or thickness, as some Apple execs recently suggested. At no point while using my MacBook does it feel natural for me to extend my arm and touch its display, and most people would probably relate. The new MacBook Pro is no different, and a sturdier hinge and lighter chassis don’t resolve the actual problem. Sidecar is a whole different story, however. My iPad is untethered from the MacBook’s keyboard, letting me flexibly touch its screen horizontally or otherwise. This allows me to utilize touch input on macOS when the need arises without straining my arm. It’s precisely the kind of innovation Apple is generally praised for, and we’ve already had it for years. Out of touch The MacBook Pro with a PROLED XDR Display caters to professional creatives by letting them interact with macOS apps using their fingers. Yet, curiously, the machine is seemingly incompatible with many of these professional creatives’ go-to accessory: the Apple Pencil. This bars power users from taking advantage of precise interactions, pressure sensitivity, tilt detection, and all the other perks they cannot achieve with their fingers. Meanwhile, Sidecar on the iPad supports Apple Pencil input—not to mention that iPadOS can run many desktop-class creative suites natively. So, whether you’re Sidecar-ing or using the iPad independently, you get to unlock advanced creation controls and workflows that surpass what you can do with the new MacBook Pro. Beyond functionality, using an Apple Pencil minimizes fingerprints on your display, and creators know all too well how relevant that is. I’m far from being a professional photographer, but I’m constantly wiping down my 13-inch iPad Pro M4 before editing pictures because color correction and healing blemishes on the pixel level require that kind of clarity. Without Apple Pencil support, the new MacBook Pro’s display is going to get all smudgy as you attempt to get work done. You don’t need a touchscreen MacBook if you already have an iPad.Apple Mac Duo Another advantage for using Sidecar as a separate wireless monitor for your Mac is having two sets of app windows open on each screen simultaneously to work on more complex tasks. Touch Bar enthusiasts will also be delighted to learn that the discontinued MacBook feature lives on through Sidecar. Non-MacBook Pro users, like those with a Mac mini/Studio, MacBook Air, or iMac, will especially appreciate being able to utilize the touchscreen without spending almost $3,000 on a new laptop—all thanks to Sidecar. In fact, it might be wiser to buy a Mac mini and an iPad Pro than a touchscreen MacBook Pro. Let’s break it down. An M5 Pro Mac mini ($1,699) combined with an iPad Pro M5 ($1,199) costs $2,898—a dollar less than the touchscreen MacBook Pro (M5 Pro)’s starting price. With this package, you’d be getting one of the most advanced tandem OLED panels on the market and two desktop-grade processors instead of one, not to mention Apple Pencil support and far greater versatility. Sidecar gives you the versatility you won’t get in a touchscreen MacBook.Foundry Pick a side I’ve long depended on Sidecar with my MacBook Air, and—unlike the touchscreen MacBook Pro—it remains a prominent example of Apple’s classic “It just works” philosophy. The built-in feature requires absolutely no setup, cables, or technical literacy. Your Mac magically pairs to your nearby iPad and lets you mirror or extend the display wirelessly. That’s the epitome of touchscreen support on a laptop, even surpassing the highly advanced convertibles in terms of practicality and overall user experience. Ultimately, if touchscreen laptops were truly essential, they would’ve evolved meaningfully throughout the past years, and Apple wouldn’t have waited this long to release one. Professionals have been using standard laptops for decades just fine, and add-ons like Wacom graphics tablets continue to thrive among digital artists due to their precision and horizontal designs. Steve Jobs once said that people don’t know what they want until you show it to them. Apple already showed us the right way to do touch on a Mac with Sidecar, and it shouldn’t have caved to market pressure to build the wrong one.

New iPad Mini Available in Just Two Colors
Apple's new iPad mini comes in just Midnight and Starlight, cutting the number of available finishes in half compared with the previous two generations. The outgoing A17 Pro model, introduced in 2024, offered Blue, Purple, Starlight, and Space Gray. The new model drops both Blue and Purple, while Midnight replaces Space Gray as the darker option. Starlight is the only finish carried over. This marks the smallest selection of iPad mini color options since the second generation. The change also marks a departure from the sixth-generation ‌iPad mini‌, which launched in 2021 in Pink, Purple, Starlight, and Space Gray. That redesign introduced more colorful finishes to the lineup, with the 2024 refresh replacing Pink with Blue while retaining four choices. The new TechWoven Smart Folio offers two additional color choices for the cover: Navy Blue and Taupe. Priced at $79, it features a two-panel design with adjustable viewing angles. The new ‌iPad mini‌ starts at $699 for Wi-Fi models and $849 for Wi-Fi and Cellular models.

New iPad Mini Offers Nano-Texture Display on Select Models
Apple's new iPad mini offers an optional nano-texture display for reduced glare, but the finish is limited to models with 256GB or 512GB of storage. The nano-texture glass option costs an additional $100 in the U.S., bringing the starting price to $899 for the 256GB Wi-Fi model. The entry-level 128GB model is excluded from the option. Configurations with nano-texture glass also include an Apple polishing cloth in the box. Apple says the finish is intended to improve visibility in bright environments, highlighting uses such as editing outdoors and working in the field. The option accompanies the iPad mini's switch to an 8.5-inch OLED Super Retina XDR display, which delivers deeper blacks and up to 1,200 nits of peak HDR brightness. Nano-texture is also offered on the iPad Pro, although it is restricted to its 1TB and 2TB configurations. As such, the ‌iPad mini‌ makes the finish available at lower storage tiers. The new display also supports 600 nits of full-screen brightness for SDR and HDR content and a minimum brightness of 1 nit.

New iPad Mini Is Apple's First Water-Resistant iPad
The new iPad mini is Apple's first water-resistant iPad, featuring an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance. Apple tested the device for immersion in water up to one meter deep for up to 30 minutes under controlled laboratory conditions. The company highlights reading by the pool and working outdoors on a rainy day as situations where the protection could be particularly useful. The new iPad mini's "Acoustic Display" audio system apparently helps make the protection possible. It uses specially designed woofers paired through the display, with tweeters hidden between the glass and aluminum enclosure. Apple says the system's sealed enclosure contributes to the IP67 rating while also improving bass and volume. Apple cautions that splash, water, and dust resistance are not permanent conditions and can decrease with normal wear. The company advises against charging a wet ‌iPad‌, and liquid damage is not covered under warranty.

The problem has also been reported in standby mode. Restarting the watch resolved the issue for three users, while a sixth poster says switching watch face also worked.

Apple reportedly plans to unveil an iPad mini 8 with an OLED display this week, with those invited to Apple's Los Angeles experience on Wednesday, October 28 expected to receive hands-on time with the device, alongside MacBook Pro models with touch-enabled OLED displays, a 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M6 chip, and an iMac with an M6 chip. In a post on X, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman suggested that a new iPad mini could be announced today. If not, it should be unveiled tomorrow at the latest. When Apple holds events on Wednesdays, it increasingly does so following three days of announcements. OLED iPad mini today, M6 iMac and MacBook Pro on Tuesday and touch MacBook Pro on Wednesday would make sense.— Mark Gurman (@markgurman) October 26, 2026 Here are 10 new features and changes expected for the iPad mini 8: Apple's latest A20 Pro chip, manufactured with TSMC's advanced 2nm process. Expect up to around 1.5× faster CPU performance and up to around 2.5× faster GPU performance compared to the A17 Pro chip in the current iPad mini. A20 Pro also introduces a "dual 16-core Neural Engine" for a total of 32 cores. With the A20 Pro chip, the next iPad mini will have 12GB of RAM, up from 8GB of RAM in the current model. This means the device will support the ability to customize the pace and expressiveness of Siri AI's voice. A slightly larger OLED display with better overall image quality compared to the current LCD model, thanks to richer colors and higher contrast ratio with true blacks. Apple has apparently tested both 60Hz and 120Hz (ProMotion) refresh rates for the new model, but it is unclear which option it chose. Slimmer bezels around the display compared to the current model. Landscape front camera, meaning the camera will be in the right bezel instead of the top bezel when holding the device in an upright position. Apple's custom-designed N1 chip with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 support. Apple's custom-designed C1X or C2 modem for cellular configurations. A redesigned speaker system with no speaker holes and potentially an iPhone earpiece-like speaker in the top bezel. IP-rated water resistance for the first time. In the U.S., the current iPad mini starts at $599 after receiving a $100 price increase in June, which Apple attributed to skyrocketing RAM and storage chip prices. With a costlier OLED display, the next model might be even more expensive.Related Roundup: iPad miniBuyer's Guide: iPad Mini (Don't Buy)Related Forum: iPadThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Gurman: Apple's Three-Day Announcement Run Could Start Today | MacRumors
Gurman: Apple's Three-Day Announcement Run Could Start Today
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman thinks Apple's announcements this week could arrive as a three-day rollout starting today. Writing on X, Gurman said that when Apple holds events on Wednesdays, it "increasingly does so following three days of announcements," adding that an OLED iPad mini today, M6 iMac and MacBook Pro updates on Tuesday, and a touch-screen MacBook Pro on Wednesday "would make sense." Gurman is speculating rather than confirming Apple's scheduling, but he could have a point. His earlier reporting suggested the M6 iMac and 14-inch MacBook Pro arriving on Wednesday, with the touchscreen MacBook Pro also expected that day. Apart from Apple's Greg Joswiak's "Pro and Tell" hint last week, Apple has yet to make any formal announcements.Tag: Mark GurmanThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

iPhone Duo: Give Your Camera Subject a Picture Preview | MacRumors
iPhone Duo: Give Your Camera Subject a Picture Preview
Getting someone to relax in front of a camera is a lot easier when they can see how they look. Apple acknowledges this on its new foldable iPhone Duo with a feature called Duo Preview, which shows a live preview on the outer display. This way, whoever you're photographing can adjust their pose, fix their hair, or straighten their costume before you take the shot. It works for both photos and videos. With Duo Preview enabled, the outer display mirrors what's captured by the main camera, so it feels like looking in a mirror rather than at a viewfinder. The outer display also shows only the preview, so there are no camera controls on that side obstructing the view. Keep reading to learn how to use it. How to Use Duo Preview Unfold your iPhone Duo so you're looking at the inner display. Open the Camera app. Tap the Outer Display Options button (it looks like a column view icon) in the top-left corner, then tap Duo Preview. Point the rear cameras at your subject, and they'll see a mirrored live preview of the frame on the outer display so they can adjust before you shoot. Tap the shutter button to take a photo or Record to shoot video. You can also press either volume button or click the Camera Control.Duo Preview is one of several Camera features that take advantage of the Duo's foldable design, alongside Kid Cue and Smart Take. Check out our full guide to see what the iPhone Duo's camera can and can't do for the rest.Related Roundup: iPhone DuoBuyer's Guide: iPhone Duo (Buy Now)Related Forum: iPhoneThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Conversion Kit Aims to Put PC Hardware Inside 2019 Mac Pro | MacRumors
Conversion Kit Aims to Put PC Hardware Inside 2019 Mac Pro
Owners of Apple's 2019 Mac Pro could repurpose its enclosure for a custom PC using a conversion kit being crowdfunded by Practical Prototyping (via Hackster). The project comes after Apple discontinued the Mac Pro in March, confirming that it has no plans for future models. For owners of the 2019 Intel-based tower, the conversion offers a potential way to keep using its distinctive enclosure with newer PC components. Mechanical engineer Stefan Bond developed the kit to accommodate a conventional ATX motherboard and power supply inside the Mac Pro 7,1 chassis. The proposed conversion is reversible, with no permanent changes to the case required. Builders need to provide their own computer components and remove Apple's existing internals before installing the kit. The package supplies mounting hardware and adapters rather than a complete computer, so the enclosure, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, and power supply are separate expenses. Space inside the converted enclosure imposes some restrictions. The reported graphics card limit is 308mm in length and 140mm in height, while air coolers can be up to 140mm tall. A separate mounting accessory supports a 240mm liquid cooler, and the design accommodates two SATA drives in either the 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch format. The conversion is designed to reuse Apple's three front fans through custom adapter boards, along with the power button and indicator light. An interface for the two top-mounted USB-C connectors supports USB 3.1 Gen 1. Pledges for the kit on Kickstarter start at approximately $500, excluding shipping, according to Hackster. Shipping is estimated to begin in March 2027, although crowdfunding pledges do not guarantee delivery.Tag: KickstarterBuyer's Guide: Mac Pro (Don't Buy)Related Forum: Mac ProThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

MacBook Pro's Switch to OLED Could Spell Trouble for Mini-LED Industry | MacRumors
MacBook Pro's Switch to OLED Could Spell Trouble for Mini-LED Industry
Apple's expected switch to OLED for the MacBook Pro will help accelerate a sharp decline in mini-LED laptop displays, with annual panel shipments forecast to fall roughly 75% between 2025 and 2027, according to Counterpoint Research. Apple's ‌MacBook Pro‌ models have used mini-LED displays since 2021, but Counterpoint expects notebook panel shipments using the technology to drop 38% in 2026 and another 60% in 2027. Those consecutive declines would leave shipments at approximately a quarter of their 2025 level. ‌OLED‌ is heading in the opposite direction. Notebook ‌OLED‌ panel shipments are projected to grow 50% this year and 24% next year, amounting to an 86% increase over 2025. Counterpoint identifies the anticipated ‌OLED‌ ‌MacBook Pro‌ and demand for premium AI PCs as drivers, even as the overall notebook display market is expected to shrink 3% in 2026. The forecast points to a rapid change in manufacturers' display choices. Counterpoint says ‌OLED‌'s thinner profile, image quality, and improving cost competitiveness are encouraging adoption, with tandem ‌OLED‌ designs and larger production facilities supporting further growth. For ‌MacBook Pro‌ users, the display transition is also expected to bring touch input to the Mac for the first time. Samsung Display is reportedly the exclusive supplier of the new 14-inch and 16-inch ‌OLED‌ touch panels, manufactured on its 8.6-generation line in Asan, South Korea, according to The Elec. Apple is expected to unveil the ‌OLED‌ ‌MacBook Pro‌ models on Wednesday, October 28 at its "Pro and tell" media experience in Los Angeles. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the laptops will be significantly lighter and replace the display notch with a Dynamic Island. The ‌OLED‌ models are expected to sit above the existing mini-LED versions initially, giving buyers a choice during the transition. Gurman says Apple will eventually discontinue the mini-LED models, although the new ‌OLED‌ machines could carry starting prices up to $500 higher.Related Roundup: MacBook ProTags: Counterpoint, Mini-LED, OLEDBuyer's Guide: MacBook Pro (Caution)Related Forum: MacBook ProThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Display Veterans Step Back as New Leaders Take Over | MacRumors
Apple Display Veterans Step Back as New Leaders Take Over
Two executives who have spent roughly three decades each at Apple are handing over responsibility for its displays, as part of a broader series of engineering leadership changes reported by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Victor Yin now oversees much of Apple's display development following years of preparation under Wei Chen and John Zhong. Chen and Zhong, each with approximately 30 years at the company, are taking on more limited responsibilities as advisers. Gurman describes their eventual departures as part of a succession process that has been underway for several years. Apple's October promotions also include engineering leaders Rajesh Ambati, Louie Sanguinetti, and Derek Shaeffer, who have all become vice presidents. Their work covers connectivity hardware and software, with Sanguinetti's contributions to wireless hardware stretching back decades. The appointments follow Apple's decision to expand Johny Srouji's role to chief hardware officer, bringing hardware engineering and hardware technologies under his leadership. A subsequent reorganization of product development sought to improve coordination between the teams designing Apple's chips and devices. Gurman also reports that some hardware program managers have been laid off in recent weeks as Srouji and CEO John Ternus remove management layers. The cuts follow earlier reports of Ternus' efforts to accelerate product development and reduce the number of positions between engineers and senior leadership. Elsewhere at Apple, App Store head Carson Oliver has received a vice president title, while Steve Smith has taken charge of corporate development. Both appointments were reported earlier this month.Tags: Bloomberg, Mark GurmanThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

The next refreshes of the devices are expected to retain LCD displays. Gurman anticipates a new ‌iMac‌ to arrive this week and a ‌MacBook Air‌ refresh in early 2027, but offered no time frame for either model's transition to ‌OLED‌.Related Roundups: iMac, MacBook AirTags: Bloomberg, Mark Gurman, OLEDBuyer's Guide: iMac (Don't Buy), MacBook Air (Neutral)Related Forums: iMac, MacBook AirThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Addresses Web Security Threat, Working on macOS Update With Additional Fix | MacRumors
Apple Addresses Web Security Threat, Working on macOS Update With Additional Fix
Earlier this month, a security researcher discovered that private cryptographic keys associated with eight of Indian company eMudhra's intermediate certificate authority (CA) certificates were weak. The compromised keys could have allowed attackers to impersonate legitimate websites, potentially putting users' sensitive information at risk. However, there is currently no evidence that the keys were exploited maliciously. eMudhra's certificates were widely trusted by all major web browsers, including Safari, Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, but Apple and the other companies behind those browsers have since taken action to protect users. In a support document, Apple said it has been blocking eMudhra's compromised TLS web certificates since October 19 in Safari, Mail, and apps that use Apple's networking and security frameworks. The certificates are blocked automatically with no software update required, so most Apple device owners do not need to take any action. There is one exception. Apple said those who use macOS command-line tools, such as system administrators, should be aware that some of those tools can still accept the compromised certificates until Apple releases a macOS update with a fix. In the meantime, Apple said those who use command-line tools can remove root CA certificates from the /etc/ssl/cert.pem file, with more details outlined in the support document. Apple has not provided a release date for the macOS update that will include the necessary changes to the /etc/ssl/cert.pem file by default. For more technical details, read Apple's support document.Tags: macOS Security, SafariThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

iPhone Duo Can Run Automations When You Open or Close It
The iPhone Duo includes a new Shortcuts automation trigger that runs actions when the device is opened or closed. YouTuber Stephen Robles highlighted the trigger, which is called "Opened or Closed" and can be found under the Display automations category. It was first spotted in September by code sleuth pdfu in the iPhone Duo simulator. One possible use case is making the Duo switch to a different wallpaper when the device is opened and back when it's closed. MacStories' Federico Viticci has said he plans to start "brainstorming hinge automations."Related Roundup: iPhone DuoTag: ShortcutsBuyer's Guide: iPhone Duo (Buy Now)Related Forum: iPhoneThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Adjust iPhone Duo's Outer Display to Accommodate Your Case | MacRumors
Adjust iPhone Duo's Outer Display to Accommodate Your Case
On iPhone Duo, Apple includes a display setting for cases or frames that partially cover the left edge of the outer display. It's called Shift Left Edge, and it insets the display edge so that on-screen content isn't hidden beneath the case. We first covered the setting in September, and Apple has since documented it, revealing that when you fit Apple's official iPhone Duo Case, a prompt automatically appears on the inner display to direct you to the setting. However, you can also turn it on manually at any time for third-party cases. How to Turn On Shift Left Edge Open the Settings app on your iPhone Duo. Tap Display & Brightness. Toggle on Shift Left Edge, then tap Enable in the prompt that appears. The final prompt will tell you that your iPhone Duo needs to restart to apply the setting, but it's not a full reboot, and you'll be returned to the same settings screen after a brief black screen. If you subsequently swipe up to the Home Screen, you'll notice a narrow black border on the left side of the front screen to accommodate the front portion of the case, leaving no content obscured. Apple offers two official cases for its new foldable: the aforementioned iPhone Duo Case, and a Folio with Kickstand that causes no such display occlusion.Related Roundup: iPhone DuoBuyer's Guide: iPhone Duo (Buy Now)Related Forum: iPhoneThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
