An April earnings call shows the demand for the MacBook Neo is significantly high and off the charts, resulting in Apple rumored to be boosting production significantly. Shipments for the MacBook Neo have doubled from 5 to 10 million units this year after the release in March. Apple looked to be very positive about the […] The post appeared first on iLounge.05:04 pmRevamped Siri to Run on Blackwell Nvidia Chip
Apple will be depending on the Nvidia chips to be powering the revamped Siri releasing later this year. Apple is thinking of highlighting the AI capabilities on device during this year’s WWDC but it will still be up to the large Gemini models offered by Google for queries that need cloud-based processing. Apple is looking […] The post appeared first on iLounge.04:50 pmMacBook Ultra could come sooner than you think

Macworld Almost everyone who tries it agrees that Apple’s Vision Pro mixed-reality headset is an impressive piece of tech. The problem is that the downsides–price, weight, lack of a killer application–are too difficult to ignore. There’s little prospect of Apple fixing those issues in the imminent future, with the company understood to have switched its focus from a lighter and cheaper version of the device to a pair of smart glasses. What we may get is a more cosmetic upgrade: a new colorway. The leaker known as pipfix, or @LusiRoy8, this week posted to Twitter/X four photos purportedly showing Vision Pro in black. “Apple vision pro black color,” the leaker adds with characteristic brevity, “did you like?” Apple vison pro black color did you like? pic.twitter.com/J9JIYhbWmq— pipfix (@LusiRoy8) June 3, 2026 The photos show close-up details including the device’s speaker grille, headband, control dial, connector port and braided power cable. The device is mostly black and looks very attractive. But is it attractive enough to convince customers to spend $3,499? That’s debatable. We should add that this isn’t by any means a new rumor, but merely further evidence for an existing one. As long ago as April 2025 the leaker Kosutami claimed Apple would release a second Vision Pro model in a black which would look like “graphite dark blue,” and an image associated with this made the rounds in December of that year. It was just the strap for the product. Pipfix themselves posted photos of the alleged black Vision Pro late last month along with the caption “Apple vison [sic] pro 2 upcoming black color.” Apple vison pro 2 upcoming black color pic.twitter.com/bCxtI7Yq5b— pipfix (@LusiRoy8) May 26, 2026 Are these images likely to be legitimate? Fairly likely, yes. Pipfix, as AppleInsider notes, has previously posted an accurate prediction of the iPhone 17 Pro’s orange and blue color finishes. What’s more, releasing a sleek black version of an Apple product which was previously only available in white tends to be a winner: see the iPod nano and the iMac Pro. So it’s virtually certain that Apple has at least explored the idea of a black Vision Pro. Whether that will translate into an actual shipped product is harder to say.04:40 pmApple published a new Press Release

When Apple unveiled the Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, I was a bit skeptical. Apple usually reserves more “professional” and dull colors for the Pro models and the more vibrant colors for the regular iPhone lineup. But as someone who loves orange as a color, I went with the 17 Pro in Cosmic Orange. After using it since day one, I can easily say this is my favorite iPhone color variation in a long time. So, naturally, as time went on, some of my favorite accessories began to color-match the Cosmic Orange iPhone, and I had to build an everyday carry around it. These accessories not only complement the Cosmic Orange finish perfectly but also solve real problems, earning a permanent place in my EDC. more…04:00 pmPoof! goes privacy-trampling Chrome in Apple’s new ad

joshuark shares a report from The Verge: Apple will introduce age verification in the App Store for users in Texas starting on Thursday, June 4th. The move, as spotted by MacRumors, comes just days after a federal appeals court allowed Texas' App Store Accountability Act to go into effect while a lawsuit against it proceeds. People in Texas who are creating a new Apple account will need to verify they're over 18 using a credit card or government ID. Apple may also automatically verify users' age using the age of their account and whether they have a credit card on file. Despite Apple's attempts to push back on app store-level age verification, the company has announced plans to implement age checks to comply with laws in places like Utah, Louisiana, Brazil, Australia, Singapore, and the UK. Google is required to make similar changes to the Play Store and is also introducing age-checking tools for developers. Last December, a judge blocked the App Store Accountability Act (SB 2420) from taking effect, but an appeals court has now reversed this decision -- at least while the court figures out whether the law is constitutional. Even if this law gets struck down in Texas, a federal version with the same name is still making its way through Congress and could impose age verification at the app store nationwide.
