Apple last week announced two new Mac mini models, one with the all-new M6 chip and one with the M5 Pro chip that debuted in the MacBook Pro earlier this year. Somewhat like the MacBook Pro last year, Apple has again placed its newest silicon in the entry-level machine and a previous-generation Pro chip in the high-end machine, so the more expensive Mac mini is not simply a faster version of the cheaper one. The M6 model starts at $899 with a 12-core CPU, 16GB of unified memory, and 256GB of storage. The M5 Pro model starts at $1,699 with a 15-core CPU, 24GB of memory, and 512GB of storage, and it can be configured with up to an 18-core CPU and a 20-core GPU. Both are the highest starting prices Apple has ever set for the Mac mini, which makes the $800 gap between the two models more consequential than in previous generations. Our guide helps to answer the question of how to decide which of these two Mac mini models is best for you. Both models are available to pre-order now and launch on Tuesday, September 22. The two machines are physically identical and share the majority of their hardware. The shared features include: The same 5.0 by 5.0 inch aluminum enclosure in silver, unchanged since 2024 Neural Accelerators in every GPU core, a first for the Mac mini Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 via the N1 chip, another first for the Mac mini 2.5Gb Ethernet as standard, with a 10Gb Ethernet configuration option Two front USB-C ports and a headphone jack with high-impedance headphone support An HDMI port and native support for up to three external displays Genlock over USB-C for synchronizing a display with a camera such as the iPhone 17 Pro macOS 27 with Apple Intelligence and Siri AI Everything that differs between the two models is set out below: Mac mini (M6) Mac mini (M5 Pro) M6 chip M5 Pro chip Built with TSMC's 2nm (N2) process Built with TSMC's 3nm (N3P) process 12-core CPU 15-core or 18-core CPU Two super cores, four performance cores, and six efficiency cores Up to six super cores and 12 performance cores World's fastest single-threaded performance, according to Apple 12-core GPU 16-core or 20-core GPU Updated shader core architecture, Dynamic Caching, and hardware-accelerated ray tracing, with 50% higher geometry rates Enhanced shader core with third-generation ray tracing Dual 16-core Neural Engine, with up to 2x the peak compute of previous generations 16-core Neural Engine Up to 170GB/s memory bandwidth 307GB/s memory bandwidth 16GB, 24GB, or 32GB of unified memory 24GB, 48GB, or 64GB of unified memory 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, or 2TB of storage 512GB, 1TB, 2TB, 4TB, or 8TB of storage Three Thunderbolt 4 ports Three Thunderbolt 5 ports Clustering of multiple Mac mini systems over Thunderbolt 5 1.5 pounds (0.67 kg) 1.6 pounds (0.73 kg) Starts at $899 Starts at $1,699 For the majority of buyers, the M6 model is the right choice, and not only because it is $800 cheaper. It is the newer chip, built on a 2nm process, and Apple says it contains the world's fastest CPU core. It is also the only Mac mini with the Dual 16-core Neural Engine, which Apple says delivers up to twice the peak compute of the single Neural Engine used in the M5 Pro. If your workload is dominated by everyday productivity, web work, photo editing, coding, or light on-device AI, the M6 should feel marginally faster in day-to-day use, especially for single-core tasks, and be more future-proof. Buying the more expensive machine means accepting older silicon in exchange for a broader performance. What the M5 Pro provides is scale rather than speed per core: up to 18 CPU cores against 12, up to 20 GPU cores against 12, and 307GB/s of memory bandwidth against 170GB/s. Those advantages only really surface in sustained, heavily parallel work such as video rendering, 3D and VFX production, compilation of large codebases, and scientific simulation. The memory ceiling is the clearest dividing line. The M6 model tops out at 32GB of unified memory, while the M5 Pro reaches 64GB. If you intend to run local large language models, work with complex 3D scenes, or keep sizeable datasets resident in memory, the M6 configuration simply cannot be specified high enough, no matter how much you spend on it. Storage works the same way, with the M6 limited to 2TB and the M5 Pro extending to 8TB. Thunderbolt is the other hard limit. The M5 Pro model has three Thunderbolt 5 ports, double the bandwidth of the Thunderbolt 4 ports on the M6 model, and Thunderbolt 5 is what allows several Mac mini systems to be clustered together to run large AI models entirely on device. This is significant for users building a small local compute setup, or attaching high-speed external storage arrays for video work. A note of caution applies to configuring the cheaper machine upward. Adding 32GB of memory and 2TB of storage to the M6 model pushes it well past its $899 starting price and narrows the gap to the M5 Pro considerably. At that point, the M5 Pro entry configuration becomes a more sensible purchase for anyone doing professional work, since the extra outlay buys substantially more CPU and GPU capacity, faster memory, and Thunderbolt 5 rather than just more of the same. One final consideration is longevity. Apple reportedly has no plans for an M6 Pro chip, so the M5 Pro will remain the highest-end Mac mini option until the M7 family arrives in 2027. Buyers who want the newest Apple silicon in the smallest desktop Apple sells can only get it by choosing the $899 machine.

Foldable iPhone Ultra: The Latest Rumors Before Apple
We're less than a week away from the debut of Apple's first foldable iPhone, and rumors have been picking up as the event date approaches. Here's the latest. Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos. MagSafe - Even though foldable iPhone dummies we saw earlier this year didn't have a MagSafe ring , Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman claims all signs indicate MagSafe charging will be supported . Crease - Some of the early language about the foldable iPhone's crease suggested Apple might have found a way to make it invisible , but later rumors are more realistic. The crease is minimal , but Apple hasn't found a magic way to get rid of it. Touch ID - Touch ID is still expected for the foldable iPhone. Apple didn't have room for the Face ID hardware because the device is rumored to be just 4.5mm thick. There will be volume buttons at the top of the iPhone Ultra , with a Touch ID side button for unlocking. Software - iOS 27 makes it clear Apple is making sure apps will work with the foldable iPhone. There's a big push for app resizability and layout flexibility. The iPhone is expected to support multitasking, sidebars, and side-by-side app usage. Cameras - Camera rumors haven't changed. We're expecting a two-lens camera setup with Wide and Ultra Wide lenses. Chips - Early rumors said Apple would transition to the C2 and move away from Qualcomm, but it looks like Apple might still use Qualcomm modems in the United States . It hinges on whether the C2 supports mmWave 5G. The iPhone Ultra will also adopt Apple's A20 Pro chip, the same as the iPhone 18 Pro models. Colors - The foldable iPhone is expected in white/silver and dark blue. Apple Pencil - Apple tested an Apple Pencil with the foldable iPhone, but it's probably not going to launch. Launch Timing - Rumors on iPhone Ultra launch timing and production have been mixed, with some sources reporting delays. Gurman says he will be very surprised if the device doesn't launch at the same time as the iPhone 18 Pro models or very close to it. It's still possible supplies could be constrained, leading to long waits for those who don't pre-order early. Price - The iPhone Ultra is expected to cost over $2,000, possibly up to $2,500 depending on storage capacity. Apple will introduce the iPhone Ultra and the iPhone 18 Pro models at its Surprise and Shine event that will be held on Wednesday, September 9.

Wild report claims Apple might launch an M5 Ultra MacBook Pro
Macworld Reports about Apple switching its MacBooks and iPads to OLED displays have been circulating in the rumor mill for some time now. A new report by Omdia gives us a more concrete look at when the switch could actually happen, as well as a few far-out details about Apples alleged plans. The first MacBook equipped with an OLED display will reportedly be available by the end of 2026, according to the site, which is in line with previous rumors . The MacBook Omdia is referring to is likely to be Apples first touchscreen MacBook Pro , which is expected later this year or in early 2027. It appears, however, that the touchscreen MacBook will be a new addition to the MacBook Pro lineup, a higher-end model that could fall under Apples Ultra branding. Omdia states that the existing 14.3-inch and 16.3-inch MacBook Pro models with LCD + Mini LED backlighting will not be discontinued, which means the MacBook Pro lineup, as it is now, will continue, with Apple upgrading the chip on a regular basis. Surprisingly, and perhaps unbelievably, Omdia predicts that this new model is highly likely to be equipped with the M5 Ultra chip. Apples M5 ultra chip is only used in the Mac Studio, which includes a complex thermal cooling system with a heavy copper heat sink that adds two pounds to the machines weight. Omdia also reports that the MacBook Air will continue to use an LCD display, and that theres a new 13.8-inch MacBook, which is expected to launch in 2029 with a hybrid OLED display. This new MacBook is likely an upgraded version of the MacBook Air, which has been reported by Bloombergs Mark Gurman to be making the switch to OLED in the future. Omida also confirms previous reports that an OLED iPad mini will arrive later this year. The current LCD iPad mini was released in October 2024, so its due for an update. It would be Apples first non-Pro tablet to have an OLED display.

'BCCI Is Always Ready,' Says Saikia After ICC Moves Women's Champions Trophy To India
Vadodara International Cricket Stadium: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is fully prepared to stage the inaugural ICC Womens Champions Trophy at short notice after hosting rights were moved from Sri Lanka to India, said secretary Devajit Saikia on Thursday. The six-team tournament, featuring Australia, England, India, New Zealand, South Africa, and Sri Lanka, will run from February 14 to 28 next year across two venues: the Cricket Club of India's Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai and the Vadodara International Cricket Stadium. Yes, you should appreciate the BCCI that we are going to host the Women's Champions Trophy in February next year. So we have two venues - one is the CCI Brabourne, which is next to this one, Wankhede Stadium. The other one is Baroda, and we should appreciate, and we should thank ICC, including Jay Shah, that they have thought that BCCI is the right country that can host the tournament at such short notice, Saikia told reporters following a performance review meeting at BCCI headquarters in Mumbai. The International Cricket Council (ICC) relocated the event to India after stripping Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) of its hosting rights due to government interference in the national board's governance, following the appointment of a government-backed Transformation Committee. India was selected as the replacement host ahead of competing bids from Bangladesh and South Africa. Despite losing the staging rights, Sri Lanka retained their place in the tournament after securing automatic qualification based on their global T20I ranking at the July 6 cut-off date. The BCCI is always ready to host these kinds of international events, and for that, the BCCI should get some credit that we are ready to accommodate any international event at any point in time. At the last moment, now at the 11th hour, Sri Lanka could not host this tournament. BCCI offered four venues, out of which two venues were selected, and we are going to host it in a very good manner, added Saikia. The BCCI is always ready to host these kinds of international events, and for that, the BCCI should get some credit that we are ready to accommodate any international event at any point in time.

Director Indrajit Lankesh is introducing newcomers Gauravv Dhingra and Akaisha Vats with his upcoming film Jai Hind Jai Sindh: A Love Story. The filmmaker has opted for fresh faces for the central characters while bringing together an ensemble of established actors including Mahesh Manjrekar, Jaya Prada, Chhaya Kadam, Rahul Dev and Zarina Wahab. Lankesh said the decision to cast Gauravv and Akaisha was based on their suitability for the characters rather than their familiarity among audiences. According to the director, the two actors brought an element of innocence and freshness that he felt was required for the story. Speaking about the casting process, Lankesh said, When I began casting Jai Hind Jai Sindh, I wasn't looking for familiar faces, I was looking for actors who could make the audience believe in the characters. Gaurav and Akaisha had that honesty and innocence. They walked into the auditions without any baggage, and that freshness is exactly what the story needed. The director further described the decision to launch newcomers as a creative choice rather than one driven by commercial considerations. The films cast includes several actors with extensive experience across Hindi cinema and other Indian-language industries, giving the two newcomers an opportunity to work alongside seasoned performers. Discussing their experience on the sets, Lankesh said, Watching actors like Mahesh Manjrekar, Jaya Prada and Zarina Wahab perform every day was like a masterclass. Gaurav and Akaisha absorbed everything with incredible sincerity, and I think audiences will notice that honesty in their performances, he added. Produced by Sammy Nanwani under the banner of Sammys Entertainment and directed by Indrajit Lankesh, Jai Hind Jai Sindh: A Love Story features an ensemble cast. Along with Gauravv Dhingra and Akaisha Vats, the film stars Mahesh Manjrekar, Jaya Prada, Chhaya Kadam, Rahul Dev, Vikram Kochhar, Zarina Wahab, Amit Behl, Indira Tiwari, Upasana Singh, Ehsan Khan, Pooja Katyal, Ajit Shidhaye, Ankiith Arora, Rajveer Singh, Nanak Singh, Kartikey Malviya, Fatima Ayesha Khan and Garima Agarwal. The film is scheduled for a Pan-India theatrical release later this year.

The makers of The Vvaan have released the first song from the upcoming folklore-fantasy film, titled Samjho Na. The track features Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah in their first on-screen pairing, offering audiences a closer look at the romantic equation between their characters. While the teaser of The Vvaan introduced viewers to its supernatural setting and folklore-driven world, Samjho Na shifts the focus towards the relationship at the centre of the story. Set against the larger backdrop of mystery, adventure and fantasy, the song explores the romantic side of the characters played by Sidharth and Tamannaah. Released under the Zee Music label, the song has been composed and produced by Tanishk Bagchi, with Jubin Nautiyal and Suvarna Tiwari on vocals and Manoj Muntashir credited for the lyrics. Krishna Kishor has handled additional live production, while Eric Pillai has mixed and mastered the track. Michael Edwin Pillai serves as assistant mix engineer. Talking about Samjho Na, Jubin Nautiyal said, Samjho Na has a beautiful innocence and emotion that I connected with instantly. Tanishks melody and Manoj Muntashirs heartfelt lyrics capture the tenderness of love beautifully, and Suvarna and I truly enjoyed bringing it to life. Sidharth and Tamannaahs chemistry adds a special freshness to the song. I hope Samjho Na resonates with everyone and becomes a song they hold close to their hearts. For Sidharth and Tamannaah, the track marks their first appearance together as a romantic pairing. It also expands the promotional campaign for The Vvaan by introducing the emotional relationship between the protagonists alongside the films supernatural and folklore elements. The film brings together TVF founder Arunabh Kumar, director Deepak Mishra and producer Ektaa R Kapoor. The project combines elements of Indian folklore, fantasy, adventure, mystery and humour and is positioned as a family entertainer. The wider universe of the film has also been expanded through The Legend of Vvaan comic book. Presented by Balaji Motion Pictures, a division of Balaji Telefilms Ltd, in association with TVF and 11.11 Production, The Vvaan stars Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah. The film is written by Arunabh Kumar and directed by Deepak Mishra, with Manu Anand serving as Director of Photography and Visual Director. It is produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, Arunabh Kumar and Niraj Kothari. The Vvaan is scheduled to release in cinemas on September 25, 2026. With the release of Samjho Na, the makers have now added a romantic dimension to the films previously established world of folklore, mystery and fantasy.

Lenovo Project Swan Turns a 14-Inch Laptop Into a 17-Inch Widescreen
Lenovo has been experimenting with expandable laptop displays for several years, and its latest concept takes the idea in a more practical direction. Called Project Swan , the device starts as a relatively conventional 14-inch laptop , but the screen can physically expand into a 17-inch 16:9 display , giving users a significantly wider workspace when they need it. The orientation is important. Rather than extending the display vertically into a tall screen, Project Swan expands horizontally to create a working area closer to that of a traditional large-screen laptop. That extra space is useful for fairly ordinary tasks such as placing two documents side by side, displaying large spreadsheets, monitoring dashboards, editing content, or keeping several windows visible simultaneously. When that space is no longer necessary, the screen contracts back into the more portable 14-inch format. Lenovo says Project Swan measures 17.9mm thick and weighs 1.6kg, or about 3.5 pounds . Those specifications make the concept considerably more portable than some of the companys earlier expandable-display experiments. During my briefing, Lenovo specifically compared Swan with a much larger expandable gaming-laptop concept that weighed close to eight pounds. At roughly half that weight, Swan is intended to demonstrate how the same basic idea could work in a laptop people might actually carry every day. The display relies on what Lenovo described as a roll-and-slide mechanism . As the structure extends sideways, the mechanism synchronizes the flexible displays movement so the screen expands with it. That mechanical system is arguably more interesting than the flexible display itself. Flexible OLED panels are already used in foldable and rollable devices. The engineering challenge is building a mechanism that can extend and retract the panel repeatedly while keeping the screen flat, protecting it inside the chassis, and preventing the entire laptop from becoming too thick or heavy. Swans appeal is also easy to understand without inventing a new computer workflow. A 14-inch laptop is convenient to carry , but a 17-inch screen is far more comfortable for serious multitasking . Project Swan is essentially Lenovos attempt to put both sizes into the same machine. Major questions remain, including durability, battery consumption, display longevity, cost, and how the expansion mechanism would hold up after thousands of cycles. And Lenovo emphasized during the briefing that Project Swan is a concept, not a production unit . No price or release date has been announced.
