Apple Maps Ads Are Here, and There
Ads in Apple Maps are live in the United States and Canada, which means iPhone and iPad users will see them when searching for locations and when viewing Suggested Places. Apple announced plans to bring ads to the Maps app in March, and said the feature would roll out starting in late summer. Apple confirmed to 9to5Mac that ads began showing up for users over the last few days, with ad placement to ramp up in the coming weeks. Ads are shown in Suggested Places when initiating a search and after searching if a company has bought an ad for a keyword you're looking for. Ads are shown at the top of search results, with one ad per set of search results. There is no option to turn off ads in the Maps app, but ads are clearly labeled with a blue Ad tag. Apple says ads you interact with in the Maps app are not associated with your Apple Account, and data is not shared with third parties. Apple has been preparing to launch ads all summer, with signs of ads showing up in iOS 26 updates. Apple started allowing businesses to purchase ad slots in August, offering a 15 percent credit toward future ad spend as an incentive. Ads for home services, bail bonds, and cryptocurrency ATMs are not allowed in the Maps app per Apple's Advertising Services policy . Ads that promote or reference medical services may be allowed, and are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Maps ads also have to adhere to Apple's other advertising rules.

New Mac Mini and Mac Studio: 13 Things You Might Have Missed
Apple today announced new M6 and M5 Pro Mac mini models and M5 Max and M5 Ultra Mac Studio models. We've covered all of the announcements in-depth , but wanted to highlight some interesting tidbits about the new machines. Price Increases - The Mac mini now starts at $899, $300 over the original starting price of the M4 Mac mini when it launched in October 2024. Mac Studio pricing starts at $2,499, $500 more than the original price of the M4 Max model when it came out in March 2025. Connectivity - Apple upgraded the new Macs with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, so they are on par with the connectivity standards in the latest iPhone models. Wi-Fi 7 offers faster data speeds in the 6GHz band, lower latency, and an option to connect across 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz networks at once for reliability improvements. Genlock - The Mac mini and Mac Studio support genlock over USB-C, so there's no need for a separate sync box. Genlock is used in multi-camera shoots and virtual production to lock timing to a shared reference signal. The Mac's display and the camera filming it are synchronized, preventing flickering and tearing from a mismatch between the display refresh rate and camera shutter. Apple previously added genlock support to the iPhone 17 Pro models, so now an iPhone 17 Pro and one of the new Macs can work in tandem for pros who need the feature. Ethernet - The Mac mini now starts with 2.5Gb Ethernet instead of 1Gb. There's an option to upgrade to 10Gb, which is what the Mac Studio starts with (same as the prior-generation model). Neural Engine - The M6 chip has an upgraded Neural Engine with two 16-core engines instead of just one. Apple says the new Neural Engine offers 2x more peak compute so AI workflows run faster. GPU - The M6 Mac mini's 12-core GPU has Neural Accelerators in each core, offering up to 4x faster AI performance and 2x faster graphics than the M4 Mac mini. The Mac Studio's M5 Ultra is also the first Ultra chip with Neural Accelerators. Peak AI compute performance is 4.3x the M3 Ultra's performance. SSD - Mac Studio storage is twice as fast with new SSD architecture built on PCIe Gen 6. SSD Pricing - As Daring Fireball points out, upgrading a Mac mini with a 2TB SSD costs $1,000, which is more than the $899 base price of the machine. Upgrading to the 4TB SSD for the M5 Pro costs $1,800, which is $100 over the price of the base machine. Thunderbolt - The M6 Mac mini continues to have Thunderbolt 4, not Thunderbolt 5. The M5 Pro model does have Thunderbolt 5. Current Max Pricing - An M5 Pro Mac mini with 18-core CPU, 64GB RAM, an 8TB SSD, and 10GbE is $6,799. The M5 Ultra Mac Studio with 36-core CPU, 256GB RAM, and 16TB SSD is $18,299. 512GB RAM - The M5 Ultra Mac Studio supports up to 512GB RAM, with the option coming in late October. Upgrading to 256GB RAM costs $4,000, and the 512GB option will be even more expensive. 96GB and 256GB RAM are the only options right now. Announcement Timing - This is the first time Apple has announced new Macs in August since the 27-inch iMac debuted in August 2020. macOS Golden Gate - When the new machines launch on September 22, they will likely have macOS Golden Gate installed. The software update is probably going to come out the week of September 14. The new Mac Studio and Mac mini models can be pre-ordered starting today, and will be available on September 22.

Apple Magic Keyboards get cosmetic updates, avoid price hikes
Macworld If youre planning on investing in a new M6 Mac mini or M5 Ultra Mac Studio , you might be buying a new Apple Magic Keyboard along with it. Apple has updated its keyboards, too: Certain keys have had their labels changed to symbols instead of names. Apple introduced these changes with the MacBook Neo and M5 MacBook Air, so the company is basically catching up on normalizing the keys. The Tab, Caps Lock, Shift, Delete, and Return keys no longer have their respective word labels. Instead, they have arrow icons: Tab is now Caps Lock is now Shift is now Delete is now Return looks similar to (see photo above) The switch to the graphical labeling is an effort to standardize its keyboards. Apples non-English keyboards used symbols, and implementing them in the English keyboard streamlines the production process. However, Apple did not update the keys on the $129 wireless Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad that has a Lightning connection for charging. Speaking of the production process, it appears that the Magic Keyboards have not been affected by the worldwide RAM shortage (/sarcasm), so their prices have not changed: USB-C Magic Keyboard: $99 / 99 USB-C Magic Keyboard with Touch ID: $149 / 149 USB-C Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad: $179 / 179 (white); $199 / 199 (black) If you prefer not to go with an Apple keyboard, you have plenty to choose from.

Amid raging price hikes, Apple slashes flagship cloth by more than 50%
Macworld On a day of high-priced product announcements, Apple has offered a crumb of comfort to its more cash-strapped customers: the beloved Polishing Cloth has dropped in price by a whopping 53 percent. Relentlessly memed on for charging a faintly absurd $19 for the square cloth at launch three years ago, the company is now happy to accept just $9 for seemingly the same product. The common thread uniting Tuesdays two big Mac updates was prices going up. The M6 Mac mini starts at $899, up from $599 for the equivalent M4 model just two months ago. The M5 Ultra Mac Studio , meanwhile, starts at $5,499, a price hike of another $200 over the previous price hike. But the Polishing Cloth went against the grain with a huge price drop. Apple didnt send out a press release advertising the nonabrasive fabric accessorys new bargain price. Instead, it quietly removed the previous store entry (which carried the product code MW693AM/A ) and put up a new one in its place ( MLH74AM/A ) with an updated price. Other than the price and code, it appears to be an identical product with an identical description. As before, that includes the endlessly amusing Compatibility section, which lists every iPhone and iPad going back to 2012, every single Apple Watch, and a huge list of MacBooks. In some ways, its surprising the company bothered to make the list since the description makes it clear that the Polishing Cloth cleans any Apple display, but we appreciate the effort. Whether this bargain price will last remains to be seen. Unlike other Apple devices the Polishing Cloth is unlikely to be affected by the ongoing memory shortage, but well be monitoring international microfiber shipments with the greatest of interest.

Apple Smart Home Display Still Coming This Year
Apple remains on track to launch its first smart home device with a screen before the end of the year, according to Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman . Gurman reiterated that the device will use facial recognition to determine who is standing in front of it and serve up personalized content for that individual user. The description lines up with code found in macOS Tahoe 26.7 earlier this week, which revealed that the smart home hub will support multiple user profiles and use ambient sensing to verify identity. Apple is also readying a new Apple TV and an updated HomePod mini as part of the same renewed push into the home, according to Gurman. Apple's smart home hub has been rumored for years. It is rumored to feature a square, seven-inch display with a front-facing camera, running an operating system closer to tvOS than iOS, with a home screen built around quick-access widgets. Pricing is expected to land somewhere around $350. Apple originally intended to release the device in spring 2025, then targeted spring 2026, before pushing it back to September because Siri AI was not ready. Gurman reported over the weekend that Apple is rearranging sections of its retail stores to accommodate new smart home products.
