Macworld Apple Magic Mouse 2 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; }); })(); Apple’s Magic Mouse isn’t exactly the most affordable out there. But if you want an Apple-branded mouse to, say, go with your new MacBook Neo, Woot is selling refurbished models for just $35, which is quite a bit less than their original $79. While the product is marked as refurbished, it’s going to be in great shape. They even offer a 90-day Woot Limited Warranty, so you’re covered for a while if anything is to happen. These things we thoroughly checked, though, so it should all be good to go. The mouse comes with a built-in rechargeable lithium battery, so you won’t need to swap batteries every now and then. Instead, you can just pop in the USB to Lightning cable to charge the mouse (note that new versions of the Magic Mouse use USB-C instead of Lightning). A single charge will give you about a month of use, while a quick two-minute plug-in gives you enough juice to last you through the day. You’ll, of course, get to enjoy everything that makes this mouse famous, such as the Multi-Touch surface and that super smooth glide. This Magic Mouse will work with just about any Mac on the market, including the Neo, so if you got one of Apple’s most affordable laptops, you might as well get the mouse on sale too. Since this mouse is available at Woot, you should hurry and make the purchase sooner rather than later. Deals here are only available for a set time (there are two days left for this deal at the time of writing) or until sold out. Since Woot is an Amazon company, your Prime benefits, like free shipping, will transfer here as well.02:59 pmAnthropic reveals new Opus 4.7 model with focus on advanced software engineering

Blackmagic Design's Blackmagic Camera app for iPhone further enhances professional workflows with Apple Watch control, deeper ATEM integration, and new hardware support.Blackmagic Design's iPhone camera appThe update shifts the camera app beyond standalone recording by tying the iPhone into coordinated production environments. Remote monitoring from Apple Watch, control through Blackmagic's ProDock, and support for dedicated focus and zoom hardware position the device as part of a larger, managed camera system rather than a self-contained tool.The changes arrive as iPhone video continues to gain traction in production environments. However, the update shows Blackmagic focusing less on casual creators and more on integrating the iPhone into its existing broadcast ecosystem.

Macworld 2026 is the 20th anniversary of the MacBook Pro, and Apple could introduce some major changes to its top-of-the-line laptop, including introducing a feature we thought we’d never see in a MacBook: a touch screen! The touch screen is slated to be part of an overhaul of the MacBook Pro, which includes OLED displays and a design update. However, there’s a possibility of the new MacBook Pro being more expensive, due to the component supply issues that are affecting the industry. Some big things are reportedly happening with the 2026 MacBook Pro, and as its release date approaches, the reports will be coming through. You can keep track of what’s been reported on this page, as well as our perspective on the feasibility of such reports. So, keep your eye on this page for the latest. Expected release date for the touchscreen MacBook Pro Late 2026 or early 2027 The touchscreen MacBook Pro has been in the rumor mill since Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman first reported on it back in 2023. While it’s always felt more like a fantasy back then, recent reports make it seem like it’s a near-certain reality. When will that reality happen? Several reports from both analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (September 2025) and Gurman (October 2025) state that the arrival date will be sometime in late 2026. That seems feasible; Apple tends to release its 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models during the last quarter of the year, with the one exception of the M2 Pro/Max MacBook Pro in January 2023 and the upcoming M5 Pro/Max MacBook Pro coming in early 2026. According to the Naver blog, Samsung has started production on its 8.6-generation OLED production. This production line is expected to be used for the M6 MacBook Pro. The start of the display production could mean that Apple could have the new laptop ready by the end of this year. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported on February 8 that the M6 MacBook Pro is expected during “the back half of the year.”01:34 pmSatechi 3-in-1 Foldable Wireless Charging Stand review: 25W update to a wireless fave
Macworld At a glance Pros Charges iPhone, Watch and AirPods 25W for iPhone (Qi2.2) Apple Watch fast charge Adjustable charging pad Folds for travel US, UK and EU plugs Includes 45W AC power adapter Cons Smaller, lighter alternatives Our Verdict There may be smaller and lighter rival 3-in-1 foldable chargers but none stand as tall or are as adjustable as this one. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Price When Reviewed$129.99 Best Prices Today: Satechi 3-in-1 Foldable Wireless Charging Stand (Qi2 25W) Retailer Price $129.99 View Deal Satechi $129.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket Who is the Satechi Foldable 3-in-1 Charging Stand for? This stand suits anyone who wants a proper iPhone stand on their desk, especially for FaceTime calls or keeping the screen visible while charging. It’s a strong choice if you regularly charge multiple Apple devices at once and want a single, tidy setup. It’s less ideal for travel due to its weight, and overkill if you only need a simple overnight charger for your iPhone. The Satechi Foldable 3-in-1 Charging Stand with Qi2 25W is the tallest and most adjustable foldable 3-in-1 we’ve seen. It looks like a permanent desktop charger when in use but folds into a travel-friendly package. Having one charger to power multiple devices is a neater desktop solution, reducing cable clutter, and they can be even more useful if they double as viewing stands. In the vast array of multi-device iPhone chargers, we have some favourites. We were big fans of Satechi’s previous Foldable 3-in-1 Charging Stand, and remain so with this new, faster model. We tested it and compare it to similar fast, portable 3-in-1 chargers. Simon Jary How fast does it charge your iPhone? This gunmetal-gray 3-in-1 charger uses the latest Qi2 wireless charging technology to reach up to 25W power output. Wirelessly charging an iPhone doesn’t get any faster—to speed things further you must connect a cable directly. The AirPods charging pad charges at 5W and can even be used to charge a second phone, although at a much slower rate than using the raised magnetic pad and only with some careful placement as there’s no magnet there to get just the right positioning. Simon Jary Pulling out from the back of the stand, the Apple Watch charging module is also rated at 5W—enough power to fast-charge the Watch. A 25W 3-in-1 charging station isn’t surprising. There are several we happily recommend: the designer Belkin UltraCharge Pro 3-in-1 and display-rich Anker Prime 3-in-1 MagGo Wireless Charging Station are fine fast stands—although you wouldn’t want to take it with you on your travels. From left, folded Kuxiu X40 Turbo, ESR CryoBoost 3-in-1 and Satechi 3-in-1 Foldable.Simon Jary How compact it is – and how high does it actually lift your iPhone? With a remarkably small 3.5-inch square (90mm) footprint, the Satechi’s foldability isn’t unique, either. We’ve seen similar fold-up 25W chargers in the super-compact Kuxiu X40 Turbo 25W Wireless Charging Stand, lightweight ESR CryoBoost Foldable 3-in-1 Magnetic Charging Station (25W), and svelte Ugreen 25W MagFlow 3-in-1 Folding Magnetic Wireless Charger. The Kuxiu X40 is the one to beat—it’s almost ridiculously compact when folded on itself yet transforms into a decent-height stand when unfurled, raising the connected iPhone around 35mm from the desk. The ESR and Ugreen folding stands are lower-profile, lifting the iPhone a maximum 20mm. The same 3-in-1 chargers unfolded into iPhone viewing stands. The Satechi is by far the highest of the stands.Simon Jary The Satechi Foldable 3-in-1 is more impressive—it can hold the iPhone over 70mm higher than the desk it sits on, making it more akin to the stately Anker Prime yet still foldable and travel friendly. Its iPhone-charging pad is more adjustable than its rivals, with a weighted hinge offering a 160-degree viewing angle. Is it too big and heavy for travel? It’s a desktop iPhone charging stand that also happens to be travel friendly, while the Kuxiu and ESR are more travel chargers that do a decent job when you’re not on the move. Simon Jary At 152mm long, 90mm wide and 30mm deep when folded, it’s undeniably larger than the X40 (64 x 64 x 18.5mm) or ESR (110 x 62 x 19.5mm), but still able to slip into a large pocket or backpack front pocket. Both the Kuxiu X40 and ESR Foldable weigh just 148g; the Satechi is over twice that at 399g. And yet… are you really going to notice that extra 250g when the charger is stashed in your backpack? In your pocket, you’ll notice its comparative bulk, but probably not when in your carry-on. Remember with any travel charger you’ll need to pack a wall charger and cable to bring the power to the wireless charger itself. The Satechi 3-in-1 Foldable ships with its own 45W power adapter. 45W is a decent amount of power—consider that Apple ships a mere 20W charger with its MacBook Neo. If at full pelt, the 3-in-1 might need 35W (25W iPhone+5W AirPods+5W Watch) so there’s plenty of juice to spare. There are better USB-C chargers that offer more than one port and more power, but this is all you need to charge three Apple devices with the 3-in-1. Built for travel, the Foldable 3-in-1’s power adapter also ships with plug adapters for the U.K. and E.U. Also in the box is a 4-foot (1.2m) cable. Simon Jary Price The Satechi 3-in-1 Foldable Wireless Charging Stand costs $129.99, the same price as its 15W predecessor. In comparison the more petite Kuxiu X40 and ESR Foldable cost $79.99 and $99.99 respectively. While it’s pricier, it’s more adjustable and sits as a taller desktop stand than those travel alternatives. If you don’t own an Apple Watch, there’s a $79.99 15W Satechi 2-in-1 Foldable Charger in a similar form. Find more options in our reviews of the best wireless chargers for iPhone. Satechi Should you buy the Satechi 3-in-1 Foldable Wireless Charging Stand? Satechi hasn’t changed much with the new version of its 3-in-1 Foldable Wireless Charging Stand except increase the iPhone wireless charging speed to 25W. There may be smaller and lighter rival 3-in-1 foldable chargers but none stand as tall or are as adjustable as this one.01:30 pmGet 15 coding courses, plus Microsoft Visual Studio Pro 2026, for just $59.99
