Sources: Apple Planning Two Sets of Product Launches in October
Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman recently reported that Apple plans to unveil an all-new home hub, a new HomePod mini, and a new Apple TV 4K on Tuesday, October 13 , and MacRumors has since learned about another launch slated for later in the month. Apple is planning to unveil additional new products in the final week of October, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter. While we do not know exactly which products Apple plans to announce in the final week of October, the most likely possibilities are all Macs, including the long-rumored MacBook Ultra models with OLED displays and a thinner-and-lighter design , a base model 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M6 chip , and an iMac with an M6 chip . Apple also previously announced that it will be releasing a high-end Mac Studio configuration with the M5 Ultra chip and 512GB of RAM in late October . Another new product expected this October is a new iPad mini with an OLED display, an A20 Pro chip, a landscape front camera, a redesigned speaker system, and more. It is unclear if the device will be announced alongside new home products on October 13, alongside new Macs in the final week of October, or at some other point this month. All in all, it appears that Apple has two sets of product launches planned for this October, and that is on top of the iPhone Duo launching on Friday, October 23.

Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition Review: Echoes of Excellence
Ghost of Yoteis new story expansion, Echoes of Sekigahara, is held back by the limits of its foundations. Sucker Punchs follow-up to Ghost of Tsushima was a robust sequel with modest ambitions. It refined the diegetic open-world exploration and slick swordplay of Tsushima, but it did little to distinguish itself from its predecessor. Ghost of Yoteis worst offence was that it was safe. The games new expansion is guilty of the same.
J&K BJP could have done much better
It is clear that statehood will not be restored to J&K anytime soon. The local unit of BJP has taken credit for it, because it deemed that the return of this status to National Conference government would encourage secessionist and separatist forces. It had a severe objection to the wording of the resolution that read: In addition to the Resolutions passed by this House on 26th June 2000 and 6th November 2024, this House calls upon the Government of India for the immediate and urgent restoration of full statehood to Jammu and Kashmir and resolves that this Resolution be forwarded to Government of India. At the moment it is in a self-congratulatory mode because it got the rejection for the Resolution written much before the discussion started on it in the Assembly. There is absolutely no harm in celebrating the success, but the party also needs to understand that it could have done all that what it did in the House, it could have done in far better manner in tune with the democratic spirit and the task it was handed over seven years ago. Following the abrogation of Article 370 and the accompanying decisions taken by the Government of India on August 5, 2019, Union Home Minister Amit Shah handed a critical mandate to the BJP leadership in Jammu and Kashmir: go door-to-door and explain how transformative these moves would be for the people of the two newly created Union Territories. One territory held the hope of promised statehood, while the otherLadakhfinally achieved the distinct status its majority Buddhist population had coveted for decades. Ladakh received what it wanted, and J&K was promised its statehood back at an appropriate time. On display was a clear political ideology and philosophy. The Home Minister had piloted these historic amendments in Parliament, scoring a monumental political goal that the BJP had sought for 70 years. This milestone provided a unique political platform for the local J&K unit. The task was to explain that J&K has been blessed with profound opportunities. When this vision was first conceived by Jan Sangh founder Syama Prasad Mookerjee, Kashmir was vastly different from the reality of 2019. By then, the region was gripped by chronic stone-pelting, peak terrorism, and pervasive life uncertainty. According to the BJPs national leadership, August 5 was a breakthrough moment. The local unit simply had to convey its merits to the people, balance the emotions of the past and pathway to future. Today, the BJP must judge itself by that very touchstone. If early leaders from Jammu, like Pandit Prem Nath Dogra of the Praja Parishad, could lay the groundwork for what finally materialized in 2019, why couldnt the modern reincarnation of the party build upon it? They held every advantage: a powerful Narendra Modi-led government ruling the Centre and no dearth of resources. All they had to do was reach out to the people. After the initial three to four monthsduring which shopkeepers shut their doors spontaneously without any formal strike callsthe ground for a pro-peace, post-Article 370 narrative was remarkably fertile. The people of the Valley desperately yearned for normalcy, the freedom to work, and the ability to send their children to school without facing constant crises. When normalcy finally emerged, it was a genuine convergence of the publics desire for peace and the security forces all-out operations against terrorists and the ecosystems. The BJPs role was to fill the resulting political vacuum. In my view, had the local leadership approached their political task with sincerity and hard work, they would not find themselves facing a crisis of rhetoric and substance today. Catchphrases only resonate when they are backed by sublimity; genuine wit and robust logic are the fundamentals of political excellence. They could have drawn valuable lessons from their predecessors. During the debate on the greater autonomy resolution in the final week of June 2000before it was passed by a two-thirds majority and subsequently rejected by the Union Government - the BJP members stood their ground. Though they eventually walked out as the final vote was called, they actively participated in nearly a week of intense discussion. There were only eight of them, yet they argued and counter-argued throughout the entire session. Regardless of the resolutions ultimate outcome, that session remains a benchmark where historical facts, political realities, and geopolitical perspectives were masterfully rolled out. The BJP members never lagged behind because they had earned their political education through blood and sweat on the ground, entering the House on their own merit. They knew the art of articulating their ideology against an overwhelming adversary. Some of the BJP legislators elected to the House in the overflowing glow of PM Modi are brilliant speakers - both young and old. Somewhere along the line, however, they mistakenly decided that they could do better with other methodology, by passing the debate and discussion. Whether spending time in well of the House or raising slogans from their benches was a good political strategy, they would have to go back to drawing board to analyse it . Some members defended their actions by claiming they saved Indian nationalism against conspiracies challenging Indian sovereignty over J&K. Do they really think that a resolution that addressed statehood issue, that too as a reminder to the promise held out by PM and Home Minister could pose a challenge to the sovereignty when day in and out we rebuff Pakistan for disputed territory narrative. Kashmir wanted to hear more profound assertion from BJP. There are two questions. First, did all the people represented by the BJPs 29 MLAs oppose statehood? No. BJP leaders have repeatedly stated that restoring statehood is on their agenda and that they remain open to debating it. Yet, they simultaneously argued that the matter was sub judice and could not be discussed in the House. They asserted that had the resolution focused purely on statehood, they would have participated. This contradiction is irreconcilable. If BJP is opposed to granting statehood to NC government which it describes as symbol of incompetence, it should have argued that why Omar Government is not eligible to get statehood. Things which needed to be said in the House, should have been said there only. As it appears that statehood would not return to J&K anytime soon. The impression that has gone around all across is, the party has stonewalled it. Targeting the government is the fundamental right of any Opposition, but when it is done with sharp arguments and sound logic, the appeal is far more enduring.
Schoolgirl injured as taxi overturns on Jammu-Rajouri-Poonch NH
Rajouri, Oct 5:A schoolgirl was injured after a speeding taxi overturned near Narian Top on the Jammu-Rajouri-Poonch National Highway-144A on Monday afternoon. The girl, identified as Toiyba Islam, daughter of Mohd Yousuf of Rani Badetar, was shifted to a nearby hospital for treatment. Police sources and local residents said the taxi, bearing registration number JK12D-4271, was travelling towards Rajouri when its driver allegedly lost control of the vehicle. The taxi overturned rendering the girl, who was returning home from school with other students, injured. Other passengers travelling in the vehicle were reportedly safe, though some sustained minor bruises. The incident sparked concerns among the locals over rash driving on and along the highway. They said that over-speeding by taxi operators posed a particular risk to pedestrians and schoolchildren. Residents urged the traffic authorities to intensify speed checks and enforcement along the highway and take action against drivers violating traffic norms.
LG Saxena inaugurates 100 Saksham ICT labs at Anganwadi Centres across Ladakh
Leh, Oct 5:In a significant step towards strengthening Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) and improving foundational learning among children, Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh, Vinai Kumar Saxena on Monday inaugurated Saksham ICT (Information and Communication Technology) labs established across 100 Anganwadi centres in the Union Territory. The Lieutenant Governor inaugurated one such lab physically at the Anganwadi Centre at Government Primary School, Killibuk, Thiksey, while the others were inaugurated virtually. Of the 100 Saksham ICT Labs, 50 have been established in Leh and 50 in Kargil, marking an important milestone in the administrations efforts to create stimulating, inclusive and technology-enabled learning environments for children at the grassroots level. The initiative has been undertaken under Mission Saksham Anganwadi and Poshan 2.0 to strengthen ECCE and is aligned with the Poshan Bhi Padhai Bhi, Aadharshila curriculum and the ECCE framework of the Ministry of Women and Child Development. The ICT facilities will provide children with age-appropriate digital and audio-visual learning content, including stories, rhymes, poems and songs, while supporting language and communication, colours, shapes and pre-number concepts, as well as cognitive, creative, physical and motor activities. Speaking on the occasion, the Lieutenant Governor said that the future of Ladakh is closely linked with the quality of learning and development provided to its youngest generation. He emphasised that the 100 Saksham ICT Labs are not merely about introducing technology into Anganwadi Centres, but about creating a new learning experience where technology, creativity, participation and joyful learning come together. Technology must be used to make learning more engaging, joyful and meaningful for our children. These Saksham ICT labs will complement play-based learning and help strengthen the foundations for their future, said LG Saxena. He stressed that children learn best when they are encouraged to explore, ask questions, play and learn through experience. The ICT facilities, therefore, will complement the existing play-based and activity-based pedagogy, making learning more engaging, interactive and child-centred. The Lieutenant Governor said that technology should not replace childrens imagination or human interaction, but should provide them with new opportunities to explore, express themselves and develop their curiosity. He emphasised that the objective is not to make children passive consumers of digital content, but to use technology as a tool that encourages participation, interaction and experiential learning. The ICT labs will support children in developing their language and communication skills through stories, rhymes, poems and songs, while helping them understand colours, shapes and basic numerical concepts. A range of cognitive, creative, physical and motor activities will also contribute to the holistic development of children during their crucial formative years. The initiative has been enabled through convergence between the Social and Tribal Welfare Department and the Information Technology Department, with ICT equipment being provided by the IT Department.

Macworld Apple released macOS 27 Golden Gate on September 14, 2026, but development hasnt stopped. Just two days later on September 16, Apple issued the first developer beta of macOS 27.2, beginning testing of the operating systems next major point update. Yes, thats macOS 27.2, not macOS 27.1. The macOS 27.2 beta gives developers and testers early access to Apples latest fixes, refinements and any features that werent ready for the initial Golden Gate release. However, as with any beta software, it may introduce bugs, compatibility problems and poorer battery life so we recommend caution if you wish to install it. Heres everything you need to know about the latest macOS beta, including whats new, when the next public beta is likely to arrive and whether you should install it. Whats the latest macOS beta? Apple offers two beta streams: a developer beta and a public beta. The public beta allows enthusiasts and early adopters to test upcoming changes before they are released to everyone. You need to join Apples Beta Software Program to access it. The latest Mac beta is macOS 27.2 beta 3 , which Apple released to registered developers on October 5, 2026. The corresponding macOS 27.2 public beta will be available soon. Public betas usually follow developer betas, although Apple does not guarantee a particular schedule. macOS 27 Golden Gate beta version tracker Apple released macOS 27.2 Golden Gate Developer Beta 3 on October 5, 2026. The macOS 27.2 Golden Gate Public Beta 2 arrived on September 22; new versions are usually released a day or two after the new developer beta. macOS 26 Tahoe beta : Apple may continue updating macOS 26 Tahoe with security and maintenance releases, but macOS 27 is now the current operating system and the focus of Apples beta program. macOS 27 Beta timeline Release Date Beta 1 June 8, 2026 Beta 2 June 22, 2026 Beta 3 July 6, 2026 Beta 3 v.2 July 13, 2026 Beta 4 July 20, 2026 Beta 5 August 10, 2026 Beta 6 August 17, 2026 Beta 7 August 24, 2026 Beta 8 August 31, 2026 Release Candidate 1 September 9, 2026 Public Beta 1 July 13, 2026 Public Beta 2 July 22, 2026 Public Beta 3 August 11, 2026 Public Beta 4 August 17, 2026 Public Beta 5 August 24, 2026 Public Beta 6 August 31, 2026 Final Release September 14, 2026 macOS 27.2 developer beta 1 September 16, 2026 macOS 27.2 developer beta 2 September 21, 2026 macOS 27.2 developer beta 3 October 5, 2026 Whats new in the latest beta? New features in macOS 27. Foundry Apple has not announced any major consumer-facing additions in macOS 27.2 beta 2. The following changes are expected though: Bug fixes and performance improvements : Addressing issues in the first release of macOS 27. Additional Siri AI languages : Apple has said the Siri AI will expand to French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish in October. Automatic password changes : The promised feature that automatically changes compromised passwords has not yet been implemented, but it could arrive in macOS 27.2.. Well update this section as changes are discovered. See Apples developer website for more information about the beta. Should you install the macOS beta? Apple Installing the macOS beta lets you test Apples next round of features, fixes and refinements before their public release. Most Mac users should remain on the standard version of macOS 27, particularly if they rely on their Mac for work. Install if You need to test apps You want early access to new features You have a secondary Mac available Wait if This is your primary work machine You rely on niche or specialist software Stability is critical to your workflow Who are you Should you install? A developer testing apps Consider the developer beta An enthusiast with a spare Mac Consider the public beta General user with one Mac Stay on macOS 27 What are the risks of installing beta software? Installing pre-release software on a primary device carries several risks. System instability : Performance problems, freezes, crashes, and other unexpected behavior are common during beta testing. App failures : Third-party applications may crash, behave unpredictably, or stop working entirely. Hardware strain : Early beta builds can increase battery drain and cause Macs to run hotter than usual. Data loss : Software bugs may corrupt files, and downgrading to a stable version often requires a complete system reset. Safety precautions and best practices If you decide to install the beta, take the following precautions: Use a secondary device : Avoid installing beta software on your primary Mac or on any machine used for critical work. Create a full backup : Use Time Machine to create a complete backup before upgrading so you can restore your Mac if something goes wrong. Note that this needs to be a Time Machine backup from before the beta was installed and you will lose anything saved subsequently. Install on a separate volume : Consider installing the beta on a separate volume or external SSD rather than replacing your main operating system. Check storage space : Make sure you have at least 15GB of free storage available before beginning the installation. How to install the macOS beta Foundry The process for installing a macOS beta depends on whether you are seeking the Developer Beta or the Public Beta. Apple simplified this process a few years ago, removing the need for a paid developer account to access early builds. The first step is to join Apples beta testing program . We explain how to do that in a separate article. You will need to register your account either as a public beta tester or as a developer in order to enable beta updates on your Mac. To install the beta follow these steps: Back up your Mac: Before installing any pre-release software, it is critical to prepare your Mac to avoid data loss. Beta software is inherently unstable and can cause crashes or app compatibility issues. Register your account either as a public beta tester or as a developer in order to enable beta updates on your Mac: For the Public Beta : Visit the Apple Beta Software Program website , sign in with your Apple ID, and agree to the terms. For the Developer Beta : Register as an Apple Developer on Apples website, download the Apple Developer app from the App Store, sign in with your standard Apple ID, and complete the free registration process. On the Mac where you wish to install the beta, open System Settings and navigate to General > Software Update. Click the (i) info button next to Beta Updates. Enable Beta Updates. The beta will appear as an available upgrade. Select the macOS beta you want to install (e.g., macOS Public Beta or Developer Beta). Click Upgrade Now to begin the download and installation. As long as you are a registered developer or enrolled in the public beta program, when the relevant macOS Beta becomes available, it will also show up on your Mac. Once you are running the beta, the updates will come through to your Mac automatically; you just need to go to Software Update in System Settings and click to install. See How to install macOS. How to get a free Apple developer account If you just want a free Apple Developer account so you can access the beta, you can get this via Xcode or the Apple Developer app in iOS. Heres how to do it via the Apple Developer app on an iPhone: Get the Apple Developer App from the App Store . Open the app on your iPhone. Tap on Account. Tap on Sign In. Sign in using your usual Apple ID. If you wish to actually publish applications to the App Store or receive support, youll need to pay $99/79 per year for a paid account. You can compare the free and paid accounts here . FAQ 1. Who can run the macOS beta? Anyone can run the macOS beta, but to do so, you do need to register for either the developer beta, the public beta, or both. Apple offers both developer and public beta programs for macOS, enabling all interested users to test pre-release versions of the operating system. While both betas provide early access to new features, they cater to different user profiles based on technical expertise and risk tolerance. Beta software tends to be buggy so the more stable public beta version may be preferable, but even that will not be bug-free. In the past, the developer beta was only available to developers who had paid to join Apples Developer Program (which costs $99/79). However, for a couple of years now, Apple has opened up the developer beta to registered developers with free developer accounts. We explain how to get a free developer account below. If you decide you no longer want to run the beta version of macOS read this: How to remove the macOS beta . 2. macOS public beta vs developer beta Since 2023, the Developer Beta has been available to anyone who registers as a developer, even if they arent a paid-up member of Apples Developer Program. As a result, people with a basic free developer account can download the new macOS developer beta (we show you how to register below). Whether you should download the developer beta if you arent a developer is another question. We dont recommend you install the developer beta if you arent a developer. Instead, our recommendation is to use the public beta (the first version of which usually arrives in July). There are a few differences between the public and developer betas. The public beta is not the same as the beta that is released through the developer program. The public beta typically launches after the developer beta has undergone initial testing and refinement Developers get updates to their beta first, and possibly more frequently. But you should keep in mind that betas are by nature not stable, and because the public beta comes after the developer beta it could be a little safer to install. The most significant difference is probably the motive of the testers: Developers usually have the aim of ensuring their apps work when the updated macOS is released to the general public, while public beta testers are essentially helping Apple detect bugs and offering feedback on the features. Because of this, developers may get to test new features not available in the public beta. If you want to get the public beta the first thing you need to do, if you havent already, is join Apples beta programs read this for more information: How to become an Apple beta tester. 3. Is the macOS beta stable? By its nature, a beta has the potential to be unstable. Therefore, its not advised that you install it on a Mac that you rely on. If you have a second Mac that isnt mission-critical, then install it there. We strongly recommend that you dont risk all by putting the macOS beta on your primary Mac, especially not in the early days of the beta development. If you dont have a second Mac, there are a couple of ways you could run macOS beta on your Mac without running the risk of losing data or finding your Mac stops working: We recommend installing it on a partition, which these days is really a volume (and is much easier to create than a partition was). Read about how to do that here: How to dual-boot Mac: Run two versions of macOS on a Mac . Alternatively, you could install the macOS beta on an external drive and run it on that. We discuss the safety of the macOS beta and the risks you might be taking in more detail in a separate article. 4. How to prepare your Mac for the beta Update your software : We recommend you have the latest full version of macOS installed, although Apple says that the macOS Developer Beta Access Utility requires macOS 10.8 or later. Make space: Wed recommend at least 25-30GB of available space because the macOS betas tend to be very large. If you end up requiring more space, read: How to free up space on Mac . Note that we always recommend that you have at least 10% space free on your Mac at any time, so if you dont have that, expect problems! Back up : Before you install a beta on your Mac, you should make a backup of your data and files. You can find out how to use Time Machine to back up your Mac . We also have a round-up of suitable backup solutions . 5. How to send feedback to Apple Should you come across an error or a bug, you should use the Feedback Assistant app to provide feedback to Apple. Launch the app and follow the appropriate steps, selecting the area about which youre providing feedback and then any specific sub-area. Then describe your issue in a single sentence, before providing a more detailed description, including any specific steps that reproduce the issue. Youll also be able to attach other files. Youll also have to give permission for the Feedback Assistant app to collect diagnostic information from your Mac. It wont always be obvious whether something is a bug or just not as easy to use as you might have hoped. Either way, if your feedback is that something appears to work in an illogical way, Apple will want to know that. If you are having trouble with a third-party app, you can let Apple know by reporting it through the 3rd-party Application Compatibility category in the Feedback Assistant. However, wed suggest that you also provide feedback to the apps developer, who will no doubt be grateful. 6. Will I be able to update from macOS beta to the final version? Beta users can move to the finished release once its build is newer than or equivalent to the beta installed. Read: How to leave the macOS beta . 7. Can I talk about the beta publicly? According to Apple and the license agreement all beta testers must agree to, the beta is Apple confidential information. By accepting those terms, you agree not to discuss your use of the software with anyone who isnt also in the Beta Software Program. That means you cant blog, post screenshots, tweet, or publicly post information about the public beta software. However, you can discuss any information that Apple has publicly disclosed; the company says that information is no longer considered confidential. 8. How to downgrade from the macOS beta You can always revert to an earlier version of macOS, though depending on how you back up, its not necessarily a painless process. Start by making sure the data on your drive is backed up, then erase the drive and install the latest public version of macOS. When you first start up your Mac, you can use the Migration Assistant to import your data from the backup. Heres a more detailed tutorial on downgrading from the macOS beta and we also have a tutorial on downgrading to an older version of the Mac OS . 9. Is the beta free to download? Yes, the macOS beta is free to download for both developers and the general public. Apple offers two distinct tracks for testing pre-release software: the Developer Beta and the Public Beta, both of which are now accessible without a paid subscription. 10. Can I go back to the stable version? Yes, you can go back to the stable version of macOS from a beta, but the complexity of the process depends on whether the final version of that software has been released yet. If you are running macOS 27.2 beta and want to return to the current public release of macOS 27, simply turning off Beta Updates will stop future beta installations, but it will not immediately downgrade the Mac. To return before Apple releases an equivalent public build, you may need to erase the Mac and reinstall macOS, then restore data from a backup made before installing the beta. 11. Should I install the beta on my main Mac? Installing a macOS beta on your primary computer is generally not recommended due to the inherent risks of using unfinished software. While beta programs offer early access to new features, they are designed for testing and often contain significant bugs that can disrupt your daily workflow. 12. Do I need an Apple Developer account to install the beta? You do not need a paid Apple Developer account to install the macOS beta. While access to developer betas was previously restricted to those paying a $99/79 annual fee, Apple changed this policy in 2023 to allow anyone with a free developer account to access these builds. Alternatively, you can join the Public Beta program, which is also free and accessible to anyone with a valid Apple ID. 13. How often are new beta versions released? New macOS beta versions are typically released every one to two weeks, with the frequency increasing as the final public release date approaches. The beta updates refine features and address bugs identified by testers. 14. Is the macOS beta safe to install? The beta is generally safe to test, but it may contain bugs that cause crashes, poor battery life, app compatibility issues, or data loss. Always back up your Mac before installing. 15. Will my apps work with the macOS beta? Many apps will work normally, but some third-party software may crash, perform poorly, or not launch at all until developers release updates.

tvOS 27.2 Code Hints at Apple Intelligence for New Apple TV
Apple's latest tvOS 27.2 beta adds weight to rumors that the next Apple TV will have Siri AI and Apple Intelligence support. Code suggests Apple is adding an Improve Siri & Apple Intelligence toggle to the tvOS Settings app. Help improve foundation models and Siri by allowing Apple to collect and use your text and audio interactions with Siri, Dictation, and Translate, the text reads. Other Apple devices with Apple Intelligence have similarly labeled privacy disclosures and data-sharing opt-ins. On devices that don't support Apple Intelligence, the setting is labeled Improve Siri & Dictation. The new code is included alongside the existing code for Siri data sharing, so it's likely only Apple Intelligence-capable hardware will see it. tvOS 27.2 also has a new Siri Messages UI framework, indicating message content could be displayed on the Apple TV in the future. Siri may be able to read messages sent to a linked iPhone and show smart reply options on the Apple TV. The current version of Siri on Apple TV doesn't support sending or reading messages, so the framework is likely linked to Siri AI. Apple is working on a version of the Apple TV with 8GB or 12GB of RAM and an A19 or A19 Pro chip , hardware that could support on-device Siri AI features. Apple appears to be laying the groundwork for the new Apple TV with tvOS 27.2. We could get a new Apple TV as soon as October 13 .

macOS 27.2 Adds Touch Gestures Ahead of MacBook Ultra
macOS Golden Gate 27.2 adds code referencing new touch-specific gestures in apps like Safari, Notes, Photos , and Quick Look, a possible sign Apple is preparing to release the rumored OLED touchscreen MacBook, possibly called the MacBook Ultra. Code in the latest beta adds new gesture recognition tools to several Apple apps. Safari gets a touch sentinel recognizer, Photos has PXGTouchDwellGestureRecognizer, Notes has ICTouchPressGestureRecognizer, and Quick Look gets a dragTouch feature. While the code could be for the touchscreen MacBook, it's also applicable to Sidecar . macOS Golden Gate brought full touch input to Sidecar, which is the feature that lets an iPad be used as a display for a Mac. It's possible Apple is expanding on those Sidecar features, so it's not a clear indication of a new Mac. Touch-friendly changes started with the launch version of macOS Golden Gate, which added pull-to-refresh gestures in Safari, Mail, and Calendar. An OLED MacBook Ultra with touchscreen capabilities could launch as soon as late 2026. The device is rumored to be thinner and lighter than existing models, and it's expected to have a Dynamic Island and Apple's M5 Pro and M5 Max chips .

Apple raised prices across its Mac and iPad lineups in June, with further increases arriving alongside the latest Macs, reflecting wider rises in memory and storage costs across the industry. So while Amazon should still offer some of the best prices available on current models, dont expect every deal to beat Junes Prime Day lows. The good news is that Apple Watch pricing has remained largely unchanged, while the AirPods 5 launched at a lower price. And across the board, Prime Day should still be one of the best opportunities to buy Apple products for less than Apple charges. Browse the best Prime Day Apple deals below, and see our dedicated Prime Day coverage and Best Picks guides for more buying advice. Amazon Prime Day MacBook Air, MacBook Neo & MacBook Pro deals Eugen Wegmann Apple updated the MacBook Pro in March with M5 Pro and M5 Max processors with double the storage across the board. At the same time, Apple upgraded the MacBook Air with an M5 chip as well, also with double the storage. Those models all came with a price increase to match the new starting storage amounts, but a few months later, Apple raised prices on all Macs from $100-$500, depending on the model. These are great machines , but youre not going to get them nearly as cheap as you could last year, when the MacBook Air regularly dipped under $800. These days, a really good price on the Air is something closer to $1,150, while the Pro has yet to dip below $1,800. Apples price hikes even extended to Apples excellent entry-level Neo , which got a $100 price hike. Deals on the MacBook Neo have generally been modest, although were now starting to see more meaningful savings on some configurations. U.S. MacBook Neo (256GB) : $690 ($9 off, MSRP $699) MacBook Neo (512GB) : $790 ($90 off, MSRP $799) 13-inch M5 MacBook Air (512GB/16GB) : $1,099 ($200 off, MSRP $1,299) 15-inch M5 MacBook Air (512GB/16GB) : $1,299 ($200 off, MSRP $1,499) 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro (1TB/16GB) : $1,839 ($163 off, MSRP $1,999) 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro (1TB/24GB) : $2,039 ($160 off, MSRP $2,199) 16-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro (2TB/24GB ): $2,749 ($250 off, MSRP $2,999) 16-inch M5 Max MacBook Pro (2TB/36GB ): $3,899 ($500 off, MSRP $4,399) U.K . 13-inch MacBook Air, M5 (512GB/16GB) : 1,199.97 (99 off, RRP 1,299) 13-inch MacBook Air, M5 (1TB/16GB) : 1,465 (134 off, RRP 1,599) 15-inch MacBook Air, M5 (512GB/16GB) : 1,344.97 (154 off, RRP 1,499) 14-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro (1TB/24GB) : 2,249.97 (249 off, RRP 2,499) 14-inch M5 Max MacBook Pro (2TB) : 3,799 (300 off, RRP 4,099) For more Mac deals see: Best MacBook & Mac Prime Day Deals 2026 Amazon Prime Day iPad deals Britta OBoyle Like the Macs, Apple hiked the price of the iPad by $100-$200 back in June. Most of them are older models due for an update soon, including the iPad mini (released October 2024), A16 iPad (released March 2025), and iPad Pro (released October 2025). The lone exception is the iPad Air, which received an update in March. Therefore, we recommend waiting unless theres a really good deal. Unfortunately, we havent seen a really good iPad deal in a while. For example, during the first Prime Day, the A16 iPad was down to $279, but the best price weve seen since the price hike is $399. Similarly, the iPad Airs lowest price was $649, about $130 higher than the previous all-time low. U.S. iPad (128GB) : $399 ($50 off, MSRP $449) iPad mini (128GB) : $499 ($100 off, MSRP $599) 11-inch M4 iPad Air (128GB): $649 ($100 off, MSRP $749) 13-inch M4 iPad Air (128GB) : $849 ($100 off, MSRP $949) 11-inch M5 iPad Pro (256GB) : $1,099 ($100 off, MSRP $1,199) 13-inch M5 iPad Pro (256GB) : $1,550 ($149 off, MSRP $1,699) 13-inch M4 iPad Pro (256GB) : $1,299 ($400 less than M5 equivalent) U.K. iPad (256GB) : 509 (20 off, RRP 529) 13-inch M4 iPad Air (128GB) : 899 (50 off, RRP 949) 11-inch M5 iPad Pro (256GB) : 1,387 (12 off, RRP 1,399) For more iPad deals see: Best Prime Day iPad deals 2026 Amazon Prime Day AirPods deals Foundry Apples newest AirPods are AirPods 5, which already got a pretty significant price cut over the 4th-gen model . The $129 model now has ANC, which is an effective $50 price cut over the previous model, which cost $179. Weve seen that model go as low as $99 and regularly drop to $119, so we could see the price drop under $100 before long. This October Prime Day might be a little too soon, however. AirPods Pro 3 were released last September, but theyre still Apples latest high-end earbuds, with foam-infused eartips, an H2 chip, and a heart-rate sensor. We gave them a near-perfect score in our review , and they keep getting better as Apple adds new features, including a custom equalizer in iOS 27 . Weve seen AirPods Pro 3 as low as $179 in the past, so were hoping they drop back there again. Earlier this year, Apple updated its AirPods Max with an H2 chip, bringing better noise cancellation and missing features such as Live Translation and AdaptiveAudio for the same $549 price. AirPods Max 2 recently dropped to $399 for the last Prime Day, so be on the lookout for a similar sale this time around. U.S. AirPods Pro 3 : $179 ($70 off, MSRP $249) AirPods 5: $129 ($0 off, MSRP $129) AirPods Max 2: $429 ($120 off, MSRP $549) U.K. AirPods Pro 3 : 200 (19 off, RRP 219) For more AirPods Deals see: Best AirPods Prime Day Deals 2026 Amazon Prime Day Apple Watch deals Britta OBoyle Apple just released the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, which offer several exclusive features that arent available on last years watches, including continuous all-day heart-rate tracking and Audio Intelligence with Live Rewind that lets you see a transcript of the last 15 seconds of a conversation. The new features are well worth the upgrade, especially since Apple mostly kept prices the same. (The 42mm model still starts at $399 and the 46mm is only $20 higher.) We havent seen much in the way of discounts yet as theyve only been on shelves for a few weeks, but keep your eye out for $25-$50 savings if you really want one. We really liked the Apple Watch SE 3 last year, but since it didnt get a refresh this year, you should wait for at least a $50 discount. And of course, well spotlight any clearance deals on the Apple Watch Series 11 or Ultra 3, but were not seeing much stock remaining at Amazon. U.S. Apple Watch Series 12 (42mm): $349 ($50 off, MSRP $399) Apple Watch Series 12 (46mm) : $399 ($0 off, MSRP $449) Apple Watch SE 3 (40mm) : $199 ($50 off, MSRP $249) Apple Watch SE 3 (44mm) : $229 ($50 off, MSRP $279) Apple Watch Ultra 4 : $779 ($20 off, MSRP $799) U.K. Apple Watch Ultra 3 : 549 (200 less than Apple Watch Ultra 4) For more Apple Watch deals see: Best Apple Watch Prime Day Deals 2026 Amazon Prime Day iMac and Mac desktop deals Foundry Apple updated the Mac mini and Mac Studio with new chips in September, but both got a prett significant price increase. The cheapest Mac mini now costs $899, while the Mac Studio starts at $2,499, an increase of $300 and $500, respectively. Unfortunately, any savings are likely to be in the $20$50 range, so youll still be paying considerably more than you would have during the previous Prime Day. The situation isnt much better with the iMac, which still has an M4 processor. Where we once were able to get in for under $1,100 during sales events, youre now looking at a minimum of $1,450. U.S. M6 Mac mini (16GB, 256GB) : $779.99 ($119 off, MSRP $899) M5 Max Mac Studio (36GB, 512GB) : $2,449 ($50 off, MSRP $2,499) M4 iMac (8-core GPU, 256GB/16GB): $1,456 ($43 off, MSRP $1,499) M4 iMac, (10-core GPU, 256GB/16GB) : $1,646 ($43 off, MSRP $1,699) U.K. M6 Mac mini (16GB, 256GB) : 823.97 (75 off, RRP 899) M5 Max Mac Studio : 2,289.97 (209 off, RRP 2,499) M4 iMac (10-Core GPU, 256GB/16GB RAM): 1,620 (79 off, RRP 1,699) iPhone deals Britta OBoyle If youre looking for an iPhone deal in the U.S., Prime Day sales are not the ones you want. While there are plenty of cases, cables, and other accessories Amazon doesnt sell new iPhones, so the best youre going to find is a refurbished iPhone 17 Pro. You might have better luck shopping at Amazon UK, especially with the iPhone 17 series. Since the iPhone 18 Pro just arrived, we dont expect huge savings there. iPhone 17 (256GB) : 799 (100 off, RRP 899) iPhone 17 Pro (256GB) : 999 (100 off, RRP 1,099) Amazon Prime Day Apple accessories deals Thiago Trevisan/Foundry If youre not in the market for a big-ticket Apple device, Prime Day is always a great time to pick up a mouse or keyboard for your Mac, Apple Pencil or Magic Keyboard for your iPad, a set of AirTags, or a new case for your iPhone. U.S. Apple Pencil Pro: $99 ($30 off, MSRP $129) Apple Pencil USB-C : $69 ($10 off, MSRP $79) Magic Keyboard for 11-inch iPad Air(M2/M3/M4) : $200 ($69 off, MSRP $269) Magic Keyboard for 13-inch iPad Air(M2/M3/M4) : $250 ($69 off, MSRP $319) Magic Keyboard for 11-inch iPad Pro (M4/M5) : $288 ($11 off, MSRP $299) Magic Keyboard for 13-inch iPad Pro (M4/M5) : $326 ($23 off, MSRP $349) Magic Keyboard Folio for iPad : $150 ($99 off, MSRP $249) Apple Magic Trackpad (Black) : $130 ($19 off, MSRP $149) Apple 35W Dual USB-C Port Compact Power Adapter : $39 ($20 off, MSRP $59) iPhone 17e Silicone Case with MagSafe : $26 ($23 off with coupon on page, $49 MSRP) Beats iPhone 17/17 Pro/17 Pro Max Case : $28 ($17 off, MSRP $45) Apple USB-C Charge Cable (2m) : $24 ($5 off, $29) Apple AirTag (2nd-gen, 4-pack) : $89 ($10 off, MSRP $99) U.K. Apple Pencil Pro : 129 (0 off, RRP 129) Apple Pencil USB-C : 79 (0 off, RRP 79) Magic Keyboard : 84 (15 off, RRP 99) Magic Keyboard with Touch ID & Numeric Pad : 169.98 (9 off, RRP 179) Magic Mouse (white) : 75.98 (3 off, RRP 79) AirTag (2nd gen, 4-pack) : 99 (0 off, RRP 99) Apple Crossbody Strap : 38.65 (20 off, 59 RRP) Amazon Prime Day Beats deals Foundry If AirPods arent your speed, Apples other line of headphones, Beats, is certain to be on sale for extremely low prices during Prime Day.

Macworld On this day 15 years ago, the world lost Steve Jobs after a years-long battle with pancreatic cancer. Youll read many posts throughout the day about what a great leader and visionary he was, but none will be sweeter or more poignant than the subtle tribute New Balance posted. If you ever watched one of Steve Jobs keynotes, you know his trademark outfit: a black turtleneck, blue jeans, black socks, and a pair of gray New Balance 992s . Its not flashy or bold, but came to define his brand as much as the products he helped create. New Balance hasnt changed the look of the 992 since that time, and its still offered in the same Grey with white colorway. If you head over there to buy one, youll see a photo at the end of the gallery of a person sitting cross-legged wearing a pair. They happen to be wearing blue jeans with black socks and sitting in a black leather chair. Steve Jobs shown wearing the New Balance 992 in Gray (right) next to New Balances re-creation of the pose. Foundry If you know your Apple history, youll recognize that this is the same chair that Steve Jobs famously sat in to conduct the first demo of the original iPad in January 2010. He wanted to show how casual and intimate the device was, so he used as if one would while in their home. It would be one of the last times we saw him on stage and one of his most iconic keynotes. On this day, the image is an especially poignant and a touching tribute to a man who made the shoe famous.

The upcoming touchscreen MacBook Pro may be Air-light
Macworld After years of rumors and speculation, it looks like the first MacBook Pro with a touchscreen is finally almost here. If the latest leaks are to be believed, the device is currently in testing within Apple on macOS 27.2, and should arrive within the next month or so. This new MacBook Pro wont just be a current model with a touchscreen. We are expecting a full redesign of Apples iconic laptop: visually distinct, with an OLED display, Dynamic Island cutout, and of course a touchscreen. There are design and functionality changes to macOS to support touch, too. We dont know what it will look like, but the expectation has been that it should seem familiareveryone knows what a MacBook is supposed to look likebut thinner and lighter. In Mark Gurmans latest Power On newsletter , he lets us know that last point will be especially true. Gurman says the new OLED and touch MacBook Pro will be significantly lighter (emphasis his), with a lot of attention paid to redesigning the interior of the machine, minimizing and consolidating parts to make it lighter and easier to carry. The current 14-inch MacBook Pro is 25 percent heavier than the equivalent MacBook Air, at 3.4 pounds for the 14-inch model (compared to 2.7 pounds for the 13-inch Air). The larger 16-inch model is 4.7 pounds, compared to 3.3 pounds for the 15-inch Air. Thats a 42 percent weight difference. It would hardly be cause for such emphasis on being dramatically lighter if Apple had achieved only a 10 percent weight reduction, and if its 20 percent lighter or more, its entering MacBook Air territory. We dont yet know if the touchscreen MacBook will come in the same sizes or introduce a new sixe at, say 15 inches, but its safe to say it will be at least 14 inches. So a significant reduction in weight means it will almost certainly clock it at under three pounds, which will definitely be noticeable when carrying it in a bag.

Oppo F35 Pro 5G has been launched in India, marking 10 years of the companys F series in the country. Here are our first impressions. The Oppo F35 Pro 5G is offered in three colour options, including Sunset Orange, Twilight Brown, and Wave Blue. I got the orange option, which appears to be the most eye-catching and appealing out of the lot. The smartphone feels light to hold and offers a good in-hand feel. It continues to sport the Smile Curve Design rear camera module, which was also seen last year on the Oppo F33 Pro 5G.
