According to supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple has reportedly doubled 2026 MacBook Neo production from 5 million to 10 million units after stronger-than-expected demand for its $599 budget laptop. MacRumors reports: On an earnings call in late April, Apple's CEO Tim Cook said that customer response to the MacBook Neo was "off the charts," and the popularity of the laptop has reportedly led the company to significantly boost production. [...] Apple was very optimistic about the MacBook Neo before announcing it, but the company still "undercalled" the level of enthusiasm that the laptop would generate, according to Cook. He said that MacBook Neo demand exceeded Apple's expectations and helped to drive a record number of first-time Mac buyers last quarter. New figures from market research firm IDC support Apple's claim that the MacBook Neo is selling well, and the Windows PC industry has taken notice. For example, Dell recently introduced a redesigned XPS 13 laptop from $699 and said it has features "you won't find on a MacBook Neo," such as a touch screen and a backlit keyboard. "Apple's MacBook Neo is a capable machine, and its arrival confirms that there's real appetite for premium quality at accessible prices," admitted Dell.

Macworld Anker Prime Laptop Power Bank View Deal (function () { document.querySelector("#sticky-promo-block a").addEventListener("click", function(e) { const debug = document.location.host.search(/lndo.site|go-vip.net/) !== -1; const text = this.closest("#sticky-promo-block").querySelector("p.promo-title").textContent; const data = { event: "stickyConversionUnitClick", eventCategory: "Sticky Conversion", eventAction: "Click", eventLabel: text }; if(debug)console.log("Sticky Conversion CLick - pushing to dataLayer: ", data); dataLayer.push(data); return true; }); })(); Anker’s Prime 20,100mAh power bank is down to $126, the kind of price that finally makes a serious laptop-grade battery worth the jump from a basic phone charger. While Amazon has this listed with an $180 MSRP, we’ve most frequently seen it cap at about $150, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that its current price is the best we’ve seen. This is not a pocket top-up brick that you’ll carry to refresh your phone battery. It’s a proper portable power source that you’ll have to tuck away in your bag to ensure you won’t need an outlet while you’re working remotely. The best part about this power bank is its 220W total output, split across two USB-C ports and one USB-A port. One USB-C port can deliver up to 140W on its own, which is enough to fast-charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro to 50 percent in under half an hour with the right cable. Since there are multiple ports available, you can charge your laptop, phone, and earbuds at the same time without issue. The 20,100mAh capacity is the other half of the equation. It’s large enough to extend a laptop’s use time through a long flight or a full day of remote work. With the MacBook’s already-fantastic battery life, this will come in handy if you choose to leave your charger at home or can’t find an outlet. The power bank comes with a 240W USB-C cable that can handle the necessary output. There’s even a travel pouch included, which will come in handy when you take it on flights, for instance, or to protect your tech from scratches when you pack it in your backpack. Before buying it, you do need to know that it’s on the heavier side. It’s also large enough that you won’t be able to slip it into your pocket. So, if you want something that has a large capacity but is more geared towards smartphones, so you can carry it around easier, the Anker Zolo with a 20,000mAh capacity and 30W charging speed is available for $34 (was $43). At $126, Aner’s laptop power bank is an easy recommendation, so hurry and get it before the deal expires.06:36 pmApple TV unveils new Anya Taylor-Joy series about a massive heist gone wrong

Macworld Apple’s iOS 27 reveal is close: this year’s big iPhone software update will be announced and demonstrated during the WWDC26 keynote on Monday. And the latest report suggests it will include an intriguing and somewhat unexpected new feature. According to the prolific Weibo leaker known as Fixed Focus Digital, the iOS 27 update will introduce a new view for apps viewed in landscape orientation: “Apple is working on Parallel View for the iOS version to solve the landscape adaptation issue,” the leaker writes (via Google Translate). “Objectively speaking, iOS is indeed excellent, but its large-screen adaptation has always been relatively weak.” As is often the case with this leaker, there’s not much detail to go on. But it sounds like Apple is planning to bring something akin to Split View mode from iPadOS to the iPhone. This handy feature lets you run two apps on the same screen at the same time, side by side. It’s particularly useful if you need to frequently paste text or images from one app to another, or have a source or research tool open (in Safari or News, perhaps) while writing in Pages or Notes. We discussed the feature and some related modes in an article about iPad multitasking. However, the feature may instead focus on a single app displaying two windows, such as the main view and a menu, side by side. It’s also possible that Apple is simply introducing dynamic app scaling, as pointed out by AppleLeaker on X, to “accomodate for the weird 3:4 aspect ratio of the iPhone Ultra.” If you’re wondering why Fixed Focus refers to the mode as Parallel View rather than Split View, there’s a reason for that. As MacRumors points out, Parallel View already exists and has done for several years. It’s one name for the split-screen mode in Huawei’s HarmonyOS, a mode which, crucially, doesn’t require any additional design work from app developers and automatically adapts apps for the widescreen view. (The mode is also branded as App Multiplier.) It’s unlikely that Apple will use the same name, of course, but this gives an idea of the concept it’s allegedly working on. The iPad is a lot better at multitasking than it used to be, while remaining less versatile in this regard than the Mac. The iPhone, meanwhile, is a long way behind, and the arrival of Parallel View/Split View would be a boon for those with larger handsets such as the iPhone 17 Pro Max. On the folding iPhone Ultra, it would be essential. We should stress, however, that while Fixed Focus puts out a great deal of Apple rumor content, it’s debatable whether this is a function of the quality of their sources or the pressures of social media algorithms. The account is also quite new to the scene, and therefore doesn’t have much of a track record we can use to evaluate its accuracy. WWDC 2026 will be a golden opportunity to establish whether or not this is a leaker worth following, but for now it may be best to regard their pronouncements as speculative until we get corroboration from other sources.
