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.

Tesla Schedules September Event To Launch Steering-Wheel-Free Cybercab
Tesla has confirmed a dedicated launch event in September to officially unveil the Cybercab , its purpose-built, fully autonomous robotaxi . The presentation will take place in Austin, Texas , showcasing a two-seater electric vehicle designed to operate without a steering wheel or pedals, accelerating the companys autonomous ride-hailing network across the United States. The private gathering, titled the Cybercab Launch Event , is scheduled for September 3 and will be broadcast live via Teslas official communication channels. pic.twitter.com/yChZnEzwZf Tesla (@Tesla) August 22, 2026 Engineered strictly for driverless mobility , the vehicles minimalist cabin configuration significantly reduces curb mass: The Cybercab weighs 1,412 kg , making it 317 kg lighter than a standard Tesla Model 3. The powertrain integrates a 48 kWh battery pack paired with a front-mounted permanent magnet motor generating 219 hp . Official regulatory evaluations indicate an energy consumption rate of 165 Wh per mile , ranking the vehicle among the most efficient electric cars certified to date. Projected real-world range under typical urban driving conditions is estimated between 290 and 300 miles (466 to 482 km). Initial commercial services will launch in Austin, operating directly through Teslas existing ride-hailing application . The platform allows users to request on-demand passenger transport seamlessly from their mobile devices. While current active testing remains focused in Texas and Florida with a supervised fleet of 20 to 30 units, the automaker has secured key regulatory clearances to broaden its regional footprint. Tesla recently received commercial authorization from the Nevada transportation authority to deploy up to 5,000 autonomous vehicles in the Las Vegas metropolitan area, marking a significant transition from supervised pilot programs toward high-volume commercial robotaxi fleets.

Some Websites Track You Via Sound; How To Protect Yourself
The popular online shopping platform AliExpress has been identified using background audio processing techniques to monitor user activity and create hardware profiles. The mechanism keeps an audio stream active in the browser even when the volume is muted, effectively building an accurate device fingerprint of the visitors machine. The behavior was uncovered by a software developer experiencing connectivity issues with multipoint Bluetooth headphones . The device failed to switch between a computer and a smartphone whenever an AliExpress tab was open, returning to normal functionality only after closing the page. Alibaba's AliExpress was caught using users' audio systems to track them. AliExpress wasn't recording users but instead playing a silent sound and measuring how users' specific devices processed it in order to fingerprint them. But don't worry because Brave stops this. Brave (@brave) August 22, 2026 An inspection of the website source code revealed the implementation of the Web Audio API to generate audio processing graphs: The script establishes an active route to the operating system audio output , keeping the channel occupied in the background. Native browser features, such as the mute tab button, fail to terminate this low-level API activity. A standardized, silent audio signal is processed to measure minute execution differences. Audio Fingerprinting and User Profiling The primary purpose of this technique is browser fingerprinting rather than recording ambient sound. Because the output signal varies based on the processor , sound card , audio drivers , and browser build, it creates a unique machine signature. This audio metric is paired with additional data points, including: WebGL data and screen resolution parameters. WebRTC connection behaviors and network states. Hardware configurations , mouse movement trajectories, and user click patterns. Privacy Implications and Industry Response Online platforms frequently adopt fingerprinting as a persistent alternative to third-party cookies , primarily for fraud prevention and bot detection. However, privacy advocates criticize the practice because it operates silently without explicit user consent and bypasses standard cache-clearing methods. How To Protect Yourself Following the disclosure, privacy-oriented browsers such as Brave and Mozilla Firefox highlighted their built-in defenses against audio-based tracking scripts . AliExpresss parent company, Alibaba , has not officially modified the tracking deployment following the report.

Apple Quietly Refreshes Magic Keyboards
Apple today quietly introduced updated Magic Keyboard models with revised U.S. English key labeling. On the new keyboards, the tab, caps lock, shift, return, and delete keycaps are labeled with glyphs rather than edge text. On the full-size models with a numeric keypad, the change goes further, with the home, page up, page down, end, clear, and enter keys also swapping their text labels for symbols. Four models have been updated: the Magic Keyboard , the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID , and the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad in both white keys and black keys . The one U.S. English model Apple has not refreshed is the Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad , which lacks Touch ID and continues to use text labels on the same keys. The change mirrors the one Apple made to its laptops earlier this year, when the new MacBook Air , MacBook Pro , and MacBook Neo adopted glyphs on the same set of keys. Since the U.S. English layout is the default option in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore, among other countries, the new labeling effectively extends well beyond the United States. Apple has used glyphs on its British English and other European layouts for some time, so the symbols will already be familiar to customers there.

Apple launches new M6 Mac mini with another price hike
Macworld As predicted on this site earlier today, Apple has announced the launch of a new Mac mini model with M5 and M6 chip options. It doesnt feature any design changes or external upgrades, but it does offer a two-generation bump in processors compared to the previous model. Slightly confusingly, the version of the Mac mini with a chip from the M5 generation is the more powerful of the two, because its the M5 Pro . This spec starts at $1,699 for a 15-core CPU and 16-core GPU, but customers have the option to bump that to 18 and 20 cores, respectively, for an additional $200. There are also configuration options to increase RAM from the starting 24GB or storage from the baseline 512GB, and to upgrade to 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The RAM options remain the same, but the 64GB highest-end option now costs $1,000. More appealing for the Mac minis traditional budget market will be the M6 model, which starts at a far more manageable $899. That, however, is still a $100 increase over the M4 model from 2024 that it replaces. Worse, the M4 model started at just $599 until June, when Apple responded to the ongoing memory crunch by imposing brutal price hikes . In other words, the cheapest entry point to Apples desktop Mac ecosystem has jumped by $300, or 50 percent, in the space of two months. The $899 version isnt exactly a state-of-the-art build, either. The entry-level configuration comes with 16GB of RAM and just 256GB of storage. We should note that it is possible to get this spec for $799, but only if youre an education buyer . Of note, the Mac mini is not available for the Apple Upgrade program either. Apple The price hike is likely to weaken the Mac minis appeal among budget buyers, but (aside from the necessity to accommodate increasing component costs) Apple may not care. In his report predicting that a new mini was on the way, Bloombergs Mark Gurman noted that the machine had become increasingly popular for running AI applications locally, and that Apple was struggling to meet demand. The company may not mind if fewer customers are prepared to pay the asking price, since there are plenty of AI fans ready to take their place. Those AI fans will likely be tempted by a new model with a new chip. Apple boasts that the M6 delivers gains across every dimension of performance and the ideal balance of performance, power efficiency, and on-device AI to effortlessly fly through daily tasks, coding, and creative projects. In numerical terms, the company claims the M6 version of the Mac will deliver up to 4x faster AI performance,2x faster storageand graphics,and 40% faster CPU performance than the M4 mini. The M5 Pro model, meanwhile, is rated by its maker as up to 8.5x faster at LLM prompt processing than its M2 Pro predecessor, and up to 4x faster than the M4 Pro model. Naturally we will put those claims to the test in our labs. Another surprise is how early Apple has announced the new Mac mini. Pre-orders are open now, but it wont go on sale until 22 September, almost a month from now.

New Mac Studio M5 Max and M5 Ultra: Everything you need to know
Macworld Apple has launched the new Mac Studio for 2026. It features either an M5 Max chip or an M5 Ultra chip. It will be available from 22 September and is available for pre-order now. We are updating this story with the latest news. The Mac Studio, originally released in 2022 , has become Apples premier desktop for professional users, effectively replacing the now- discontinued Mac Pro for the vast majority of workflows. Designed for high-end workloads, the Mac Studio has emerged as a popular choice for serious AI and machine learning tasks. This is largely due to its high unified memory capacity and specialised silicon architecture, which address one of the primary bottlenecks in AI workloads: memory capacity and memory bandwidth. If you are considering buying a Mac Studio, you may be wondering whether an update is imminent. The current lineup features M4 Max and M3 Ultra chips, introduced in March 2025. A new generation with M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips is widely expected in 2026, although the launch timing remains uncertain. For some time, an update at WWDC in June had been anticipated, but more recent reports suggest supply constraints affecting high-memory Apple silicon systems could push the launch to later in 2026, possibly around October. This article tracks the latest reports and rumours surrounding the next Mac Studio, including its potential release date, specifications, and pricing. 2026 Mac Studio M5 Release Date: Will there be a new Mac Studio? Release depends on supply For much of the past year, expectations have been that Apple would unveil a new Mac Studio powered by M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips at WWDC 2026. In January 2026, Bloombergs Mark Gurman reported that Apple was targeting the first half of 2026 for the next-generation systems, making a WWDC debut seem plausible. The event is a natural venue for launching a workstation aimed at developers and creative professionals, and Apple previously used WWDC 2023 to introduce Mac Studio models powered by the M2 Max and M2 Ultra. However, there was no new Mac Studio at WWDC. The failure of Apple to update the Mac Studio at WWDC was no surprise. More recent reports had indicated the launch may now slip to later in the year, with October 2026 increasingly viewed as the more likely timeframe. The delay appears to be tied to ongoing supply constraints in the global DRAM market. Surging demand for AI infrastructure particularly from hyperscalers operating large-scale data centres has placed significant pressure on high-capacity memory supply. According to Gurman, reporting in April 2026, supply chain snags are affecting production of Apples next-generation professional Macs, potentially pushing the Mac Studio launch into October 2026. Gurman reported in July that the M5 Ultra Mac Studio is still in Apples plans, but the memory shortage is affecting its progress. Its ship date will depend on the state of the memory-chip supply chain, he said. These constraints are already affecting the current Mac Studio lineup. In March 2026, Apple removed the 512GB unified memory upgrade option for the M3 Ultra Mac Studio and increased the price of the 256GB option by $400, likely reflecting rising DRAM costs. As of May 2026, the 2025 Mac Studio can only be configured with 36GB, 64GB or 96GB of unified memory, with the former 128GB and 256GB upgrade options no longer available. Availability has also been impacted, with delivery estimates ranging from six to ten weeks depending on configuration. 2026 Mac Studio: Processor M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips expected Apple The Mac Studio ships with Apples M-series Max and Ultra chips. The 2025 Mac Studio launched with the expected M4 Max, but the highest-end configuration unexpectedly used an M3 Ultra rather than a newer M4 Ultra. While the M3 Ultra still outperforms the M4 Max in heavily multithreaded and graphics-intensive workloads, it is based on an older generation of Apple silicon. Apple never publicly explained why an M4 Ultra was not released. Some industry analysts speculated that manufacturing complexity and yield issues at TSMC may have contributed to Apple skipping an Ultra-tier M4 chip . However, the most widely accepted explanation is architectural. Previous Ultra chips, including the M1 Ultra and M2 Ultra, were created by linking two Max-class dies together using Apples UltraFusion packaging technology. Reports suggest the M4 Max lacked the high-bandwidth die-to-die interconnect required for this approach, preventing Apple from combining two M4 Max dies into a single Ultra processor. However, this situation is not expected to continue with the M5 generation. Apples M5 Max, built on an advanced 3nm process, introduces a revised architecture that allows multiple dies to function as a single SoC. This new Fusion Architecture is designed to improve scalability, memory bandwidth and AI performance and, crucially, should make future Ultra variants easier to produce. Apple has also shifted its high-end desktop strategy away from the Mac Pro, which was discontinued in early 2026. With the Mac Studio now effectively serving as Apples flagship professional desktop, it has become the companys primary platform for future Ultra-class chips. As a result, the next Mac Studio is widely expected to feature both the M5 Max and M5 Ultra. M5 Max The M5 Max currently features: CPU : Up to an 18-core CPU optimized for professional multithreaded workloads. GPU : Up to a 40-core GPU with improved AI and graphics acceleration. Neural processing : Expanded machine-learning hardware integrated across the GPU and media engines. Memory bandwidth : Significantly higher bandwidth than the M4 generation, improving AI, 3D rendering and video-editing performance. The Mac Studio version of the M5 Max is also expected to deliver higher sustained performance than the MacBook Pro thanks to its larger thermal envelope. M5 Ultra If Apple maintains its current scaling approach of combining two M5 Max dies into a single processor package, the M5 Ultra could offer: CPU : Up to 36 CPU cores. GPU : Up to 80 GPU cores. Unified memory : Support for significantly larger memory pools and much higher bandwidth than the M5 Max. The M5 Ultra, offering the best desktop workstation performance, will be suited to GPU-intensive workflows such as 3D rendering, AI model development, scientific computing and advanced video production. 2026 Mac Studio: Other specs Thomas Bergbold Bigger SSD expected as standard The introduction of the M5 Max in the 2026 MacBook Pro lineup provides some insight as to what to expect from the next Mac Studio beyond raw processor performance. Unified memory and bandwidth Memory configuration is expected to become an increasingly important part of the next Mac Studio story due to ongoing DRAM supply constraints affecting the broader industry. Current expectations suggest: M5 Max : To continue to start with 36GB of unified memory. M5 Ultra : To begin at 96GB of unified memory. Apple may continue to cap maximum memory at 256GB on Ultra configurations, although availability could remain limited depending on supply conditions. However, recent changes to the existing Mac Studio lineup indicate Apple may simplify or reduce high-end memory configurations. In May 2026, Apple removed some higher-capacity memory upgrade options from the M3 Ultra Mac Studio and increased pricing for remaining high-memory configurations, likely due to rising DRAM costs driven by AI server demand. Bandwidth improvements are also expected. The M5 architecture already delivers significantly faster memory throughput than previous generations, and the Mac Studio variants should scale even further. Higher-end configurations could potentially exceed 600GB/s of memory bandwidth, greatly benefiting workloads involving large datasets, complex simulations and AI inference. Storage Storage configurations are also expected to shift upward. Industry expectations increasingly point to Apple raising the baseline SSD capacity across the Mac Studio lineup: M5 Max : Expected to start with 1TB of storage rather than 512GB. M5 Ultra : May begin at 2TB instead of 1TB. This would align the Mac Studio more closely with Apples positioning as a professional workstation system, while also offsetting growing application sizes and AI-related storage demands. Maximum capacities are likely to remain unchanged: M5 Max : Up to 8TB. M5 Ultra : Up to 16TB. The M5 generation is also expected to deliver faster SSD performance overall, particularly for large-file transfers and sustained professional workloads. Connectivity The next Mac Studio is expected to support Apples latest connectivity standards, including: Thunderbolt 5 with bandwidth up to 120Gbps in boosted modes. Wi-Fi 7 support. Bluetooth 6. Apples newer networking hardware for improved wireless efficiency and lower latency. 2026 Mac Studio: Design & Ports No major external redesign is currently expected. Foundry The Mac Studio was first introduced in 2022, and Apple is expected to retain the same overall design for the next generation. No credible reports have suggested a major redesign, and the companys recent desktop hardware including the M4 Mac mini indicates Apple remains committed to its compact aluminium desktop aesthetic. That design has proven particularly effective for professional workflows. Despite its relatively small footprint, the Mac Studio is built around a substantial cooling system that allows it to sustain demanding workloads such as AI inference, 3D rendering and high-resolution video editing without the excessive fan noise often associated with traditional workstations. This makes it especially well suited to sound-sensitive studio environments and rack-based deployments. The Mac Studio also stands out for its extensive port selection, avoiding the heavy reliance on adapters common with many modern Apple devices. Front-facing ports and the SDXC card slot provide convenient access for photographers, videographers and developers frequently connecting storage devices and peripherals. The port offerings are also expected to remain the same. The Mac Studio has: M5 Max : 2 front USB-C ports (supporting USB 3 at 10Gbps) M5 Ultra : 2 front Thunderbolt 5 ports Front SDXC Card slot Rear 3.5mm audio jack 4 rear Thunderbolt 5 ports 2 rear USB-A ports HDMI port 10Gb ethernet port The Mac Studio is expected to continue supporting up to eight external displays. Thunderbolt 5 support provides up to 80Gbps bandwidth, or up to 120Gbps for display-heavy workloads, making the system particularly well suited to advanced production, AI and multi-monitor workflows. 2026 Mac Studio: Price The Mac Studio currently starts at $1,999 / 2,099 , but there are strong indications that Apple could raise prices when it updates its desktop lineup later this year due to supply chain pressures and rising component costs. One sign that the Mac Studios price could increase is Apples recent move to raise the entry cost of its high-end Macs. In March 2026, Apple removed lower-capacity storage tiers from the MacBook Pro lineup, pushing the starting price of the M5 Max model to $3,599 because it now ships with a 2TB SSD by default. If Apple follows the same strategy with the Mac Studio, it may raise the base price while simultaneously increasing the starting RAM and storage configurations to soften the perception of the price increase. For example, if Apple increases the entry-level SSD from 512GB to 1TB a likely change the base price could rise by roughly $200 / 200 , although the U.K. increase may be smaller to keep regional pricing more closely aligned. Several broader factors could also contribute to higher prices: RAM shortage and component costs : A global surge in demand for AI hardware has created significant pressure on memory supply, leading to higher RAM prices across the industry. Supply chain constraints : During a 2026 earnings call, Apple CEO Tim Cook said the company is seeing less flexibility in the supply chain than normal, adding that wholesale memory pricing is increasing significantly. For reference, the current 2025 Mac Studio base configurations are priced as follows on Apples website : $1,999/2,099/CA$2,699/AU$3,499 M4 Max, 36GB Unified Memory, 512GB SSD $3,999/4,199/CA$5,499/AU$6,999 M3 Ultra, 96GB Unified Memory, 1TB SSD Historically, Apple has shown a willingness to raise starting prices when transitioning between generations. The Mac Pro, for example, increased from $5,999 to $6,999 when Apple Silicon replaced Intel processors. However, Apple has also positioned the Mac Studio as a relatively affordable high-performance desktop for creative professionals. Since its introduction, the machine has started at $1,999, helping maintain a clear price gap below the $3,199-plus MacBook Pro lineup. Should you buy a Mac Studio now or wait? Whether you should buy a Mac Studio now depends on how urgently you need the performance versus whether you are willing to wait for the next generation of Apple silicon. The Mac Studio was last updated in March 2025 with the introduction of the M4 Max and M3 Ultra chips. Since then, Apple has released the MacBook Pro with the M5 Max. According to our testing , the M5 Max now surpasses the M3 Ultra in CPU performance, although the M3 Ultra still maintains an advantage in certain graphics-intensive workloads thanks to its significantly higher GPU core count. If you need a high-end workstation immediately, the Mac Studio remains Apples most powerful desktop Mac. However, availability has become increasingly limited due to ongoing component shortages. As of May 2026, delivery estimates for some configurations stretch to as long as 10 weeks, meaning orders placed now may not arrive until July 2026. At the same time, an M5 refresh now appears increasingly likely for October 2026. The next-generation Mac Studio is expected to deliver a substantial performance improvement, particularly with the anticipated M5 Ultra chip, which could represent a significant leap over the current M3 Ultra. For more information see: Should you buy a Mac Studio now or wait? As a result, buyers who can wait a few more months may be better off holding off for the next generation. For those who need a Mac Studio sooner rather than later, a refurbished model could be a good alternative and may also offer better value for money.

While some early 2026 reports pointed to a spring launch, ongoing supply-chain issues appear to have pushed the timeline back, with an October 2026 release for the Mac Studio with M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips now looking more likely. 2. Will the M5 Mac Studio have an M5 Ultra chip? Yes. Industry reports and expert predictions strongly suggest the new Mac Studio will feature an M5 Ultra chip. 3. Will RAM shortages make the M5 Mac Studio more expensive? The global RAM shortage has lead to increased costs for memory components. While it is difficult to predict exactly how this will impact the final retail price of future Mac Studio models, such as those featuring the M5 chip, the shortage has created significant upward pressure on production costs. While Apple has a history of maintaining consistent pricing across product generations, the current supply chain environment presents unique challenges. Rather than raise prices in relation to the RAM shortages, Apple may instead withdraw the entry-level model, as it has with the Mac mini. 4. Could Apple redesign the Mac Studio chassis for the M5 generation? Its not expected that Apple will alter the external design of the Mac Studio. The current design has a number of benefits including: A tall aluminium chassis allowing for a much larger cooling system than a Mac mini or MacBook Pro. A small footprint that means multiple units can be deployed side-by-side on shelves or mounted in custom rack trays. This is attractive for AI labs, CI infrastructure, edge inference clusters, and build farms. The front-facing I/O is also appreciated by those who need to attach high-speed external storage, networking, and accelerator peripherals. 5. How well will the new Mac Studio handle AI workloads? The new Mac Studio is expected to be one of the most capable desktop systems for local AI workloads, particularly with the upcoming M5 Ultra chip. Apples unified memory architecture allows the CPU and GPU to share a large pool of high-bandwidth memory, making the system especially effective for running large language models locally. Combined with faster GPU-based AI accelerators, improved memory bandwidth, quiet cooling, and support for up to 256GB of unified memory, the M5 Mac Studio could become one of the most powerful compact AI workstations available. The Mac Studio is already widely regarded as a premier workstation for artificial intelligence, with recent developments further enhancing its suitability for complex AI clusters and high-performance machine learning workloads. In November 2025, Apple introduced enhancements to macOS Tahoe 26.2 specifically aimed at AI developers using Mac Studio systems. One of the most significant additions was support for creating AI clusters over Thunderbolt 5, simplifying deployment by eliminating the need for RDMA Ethernet cards or optical networking modules. The Mac Studios hardware design is also particularly well suited to demanding AI workflows. Its compact yet thermally efficient chassis enables sustained high performance during tasks such as LLM inference, model training, and multimodal processing, while maintaining significantly quieter operation than traditional workstation or server hardware.

iPhone Trade-In Values Slide Ahead of New Model Launch
Ahead of the announcement of the iPhone 18 Pro , iPhone 18 Pro Max, and first foldable iPhone next month, a new study from trade-in comparison site SellCell finds that most iPhones lose a considerable amount of trade-in value in the 10-day window between Apple's announcement and the actual product launch. Looking at the launch of the iPhone 15, iPhone 16 , and iPhone 17 lineups, SellCell found that trade-in values dropped for 117 of 156 models tracked, or 75% of the total, between announcement day and release day. That window saw the steepest declines for the iPhone 17 lineup last year, with 50 of 54 iPhone models (92.6%) losing value, with an average drop of $36.46 per device. The largest individual declines came from older models still on the trade-in market at the time. The iPhone 16 Plus 512GB fell from $695 to $566, a $129 drop and the largest loss in the dataset. The iPhone 15 Plus 128GB saw the steepest percentage decline, falling from $440 to $351, a loss of 20.2%. SellCell paired the pricing data with a survey of 2,000 U.S. iPhone users. 61.4% of respondents said they plan to keep their current iPhone until a replacement is in hand and set up, rather than trading it in around the announcement. The most common reasons cited were needing the phone for continued use and needing to transfer data, which together accounted for 77.4% of responses. Apple updated and largely increased its own official trade-in estimates last month ahead of the iPhone 18 Pro and foldable iPhone announcement.

Mac mini M6/M5 Pro: Everything we know so far
Macworld The Mac mini remains one of Apples most compelling Macs, combining strong performance, a compact design, and an attractive starting price. Following its major redesign in late 2024, the desktop became smaller, faster, and more versatile than ever, featuring a dramatically reduced 5-by-5-inch footprint alongside Apples M4 and M4 Pro chips. If youre considering buying a Mac mini , you may be wondering whether a new model is on the horizon, what upgrades it could bring, and whether Apple will maintain its appealing entry-level pricing. The M5 chip debuted in October 2025, followed by the M5 Pro in the MacBook Pro lineup in March 2026, but the Mac mini has yet to be updated with Apples latest silicon. That wait may soon be over, however, with an August 25 report claiming a new Mac mini could launch in the coming days. The new Mac mini has been a long time coming, but the delay is not surprising. Reports have pointed to ongoing supply-chain challenges, including component shortages and fluctuating availability of existing models, which may be contributing to delays in Apples refresh plans. Below, we break down everything we expect from the 2026 Mac mini, including potential performance improvements, new configuration options, pricing expectations, and other key changes. New Mac mini release date: Will Apple update the Mac mini soon? New Mac mini could launch in the coming days Gurman, August 25. A Bloomberg report on August 25 indicated that sources had revealed that Apple is getting ready to launch the updated Mac mini and that it will debut as soon as the coming days. If the report is accurate, the new Mac mini could therefore arrive as soon as this week. An August launch would allow Apple to introduce the Mac mini ahead of the companys expected iPhone launch in early September. It has been nearly two years since Apple launched the M4 Mac mini. The wait for an updated model comes amid ongoing supply constraints affecting parts of the current Mac mini lineup. Demand has remained strong, while shortages of key components have limited availability of some configurations in several markets. Apple has acknowledged broader manufacturing challenges affecting its M-series chips and memory supply , with outgoing CEO Tim Cook indicating in a financial results call that these constraints are likely to continue for several months . The current Mac mini lineup has already felt the impact. Apple discontinued the entry-level 256GB model , effectively increasing the starting price, while some higher-memory variants have become difficult to find or have disappeared from sale entirely. Shipping estimates for remaining models have also lengthened significantly in some regions. At the same time, the Mac minis popularity has continued to grow, particularly among developers and enthusiasts running local AI workloads. Its compact design, unified memory architecture, and relatively affordable price have made it an attractive platform for local LLM development, further contributing to inventory shortages. Supply constraints do not necessarily indicate that a hardware refresh is imminent, but dwindling stock and extended shipping times have sometimes preceded Apple product updates. With Apple having already introduced M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max chips elsewhere in the Mac lineup, the Mac mini remains one of the most notable Macs still awaiting a new generation of Apple silicon. The August 25 Bloomberg report strengthens the case for an imminent refresh. New Mac mini: M6 and M5 Pro chipsexplained The new Mac mini will ship M6 and M5 Pro chips The new M6 chip may make its way into the Mac mini. Apple There is some uncertainty as to whether Apple will equip the new Mac mini with an M5-series chip, an M6 chip, or a combination of the two across different configurations. According to Bloombergs Mark Gurman in a July report , Apple plans to update the base Mac mini with an M6 chips, and the higher-end model with an M5 Pro. This is a change from the previously reported M5 and M5 Pro update; Apple recently decided to forego M6 Pro and M6 Max development in favor of the M7 chip. Gurman had previously reported that Apple planned to release Mac mini models powered by M5 and M5 Pro chips. Should the next Mac mini ship with an M6 chip it could become one of Apples biggest AI upgrades yet thanks to that chips expected focus on machine learning and neural processing. In recent releases, Apple has been seen to be prioritizing AI performance improvements far more heavily than raw CPU gains, with faster local image generation, improved large language model performance, and better support for on-device AI tools. That could make the next Mac mini especially appealing to developers, creators, and power users experimenting with AI workloads without relying on cloud services. New Mac mini specs: Will the new Mac mini have better specs and configurations? Faster 512GB SSD as standard Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) and Bluetooth 6 possible Simon Jary / Foundry Apple is not expected to redesign the Mac mini again in 2026, so the new models will likely keep the compact 5-by-5-inch chassis introduced with the M4 generation. Most of the expected changes focus on connectivity, storage, and memory. Apple increased the base memory of the Mac mini to 16GB with the M4 generation in late 2024, and that will almost certainly continue with the new models as AI features and multitasking demand more RAM. The standard M6 Mac mini is expected to start with 16GB of unified memory, while the M5 Pro model could start at 24GB and offer higher-end configurations beyond that, depending on ongoing global memory shortages. Storage is also expected to improve. Apple discontinued the 256GB Mac mini in May 2026, making 512GB SSD the new entry-level configuration. That strongly suggests the new Mac mini will start with a faster 512GB SSD as standard. Higher-end configurations are likely to continue offering up to 4TB storage on the standard model and up to 8TB on the Pro version. Connectivity upgrades are also likely. The current M4 Mac mini supports Thunderbolt 4, while the M4 Pro already includes Thunderbolt 5. The new Mac mini is expected to keep Thunderbolt 4, while the M5 Pro model will likely continue to offer Thunderbolt 5 for faster external storage and display support. Wireless connectivity could also receive a major upgrade. Apple added Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 to several Macs in early 2026, making those technologies likely additions to the next Mac mini lineup. At a glance: Expected specs 16GB unified memory standard 512GB SSD standard Up to 4TB SSD (Mac mini) / 8TB SSD (Mac mini Pro) Thunderbolt 4 (Mac mini) Thunderbolt 5 (Mac mini Pro) Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) Bluetooth 6 New Mac mini design: Are any design changes expected to the Mac mini No design changes expected. Expect the ports to remain the same on the new Mac mini. Foundry The M4 Mac mini underwent a significant physical redesign in October 2024, shrinking to a 5-by-5-inch enclosure. This design will be in place for several years to come. The update is anticipated to focus on internal performance enhancements with no changes to the physical chassis. No reports indicate that Apple will offer new colors so a Space Gray Mac mini is unlikely. New Mac mini: Ports The port offerings are also expected to remain the same as the M4 Mac mini: 2 front USB-C ports (supporting USB 3 at 10Gbps) Front 3.5mm audio jack 3 rear Thunderbolt ports HDMI port Gigabit ethernet port (10Gb ethernet option available) Apples Mac mini price: Will the price of the Mac mini increase? Apple increased prices of the Mac mini and other Macs in June. No further price increases are expected. In June 2026 Apple raised the starting price of the Mac mini by $200, from $599 to $799. This was part of a broader price hike across Apples entire Mac lineup, which Apple attributed to an unprecedented rise in component costs, particularly RAM. Heres a breakdown of the key price changes for the Mac mini: M4, 16GB unified memory, 256GB SSD WAS $599/599 NOW $799/799 M4, 16GB unified memory, 512GB SSD WAS $799/799 NOW $999/999 M4, 24GB unified memory, 512GB SSD WAS $999/999 NOW $1,199/1,199 M4 Pro, 24GB unified memory, 512GB SSD WAS $1,399/1,399 NOW $1,599/1,599 Looking ahead, the available information suggests these higher prices are likely to stick. The global RAM shortage that drove the increases is not expected to ease until at least 2028. The only reason why prices may change is that Apple is manufacturing the new Mac mini in the U.S. Its just not clear if that would positively or negatively affect pricing. Should you wait to buy the Mac mini? Availability remains limited and with a new model expected soon we would recommend waiting. Under normal circumstances, we would also suggest looking for discounts on existing models or considering Apple Certified Refurbished options. Unfortunately, ongoing supply shortages mean that stock is currently limited across both new and refurbished Mac mini configurations. For more guidance, read: Should you buy a Mac mini now or wait? Considering an alternative? Read our Best Mac buying guide . Factors affecting availability of the Mac mini The Mac minis current supply constraints and unusually high demand could significantly affect the launch timing and availability of new models. Limited manufacturing capacity for Apples advanced M-series chips, combined with global RAM shortages, may restrict Apples ability to produce enough next-generation Mac minis at launch, potentially delaying the release until supply stabilizes. At the same time, strong demand from AI developers and businesses using the Mac mini as a compact AI server is rapidly depleting existing inventory, complicating Apples transition between generations. While dwindling stock levels can sometimes indicate that a refresh is imminent, the broader component shortages affecting the industry could just as easily reduce launch availability or delay the M6 Mac mini altogether. Global supply constraints As of May 2026, the Mac mini is facing significant supply shortages, with low stock at retailers and some configurations disappearing from Apples online store. The main issue is limited manufacturing capacity for Apples advanced M-series chips, which Tim Cook recently described as the primary bottleneck. A wider global memory shortage has added further pressure, particularly for higher-RAM models, as AI data centers compete for the same components. Rising production costs have also pushed Apple to discontinue the $599 base model, steering buyers toward more expensive configurations. High demand due to popularity of Mac mini for AI At the same time, demand for the Mac mini has surged because of its growing popularity as a compact AI server. Developers and companies are increasingly using it to run local AI agents and large language models (LLMs), leading to temporary sell-outs at major retailers. The Mac mini has long been popular as Apples most affordable and versatile desktop, but its combination of Apple silicon, unified memory architecture, compact size, and energy efficiency has made it especially attractive for AI workloads and 24/7 local AI setups. The Mac minis unified memory architecture allows the CPU and GPU to share the same memory pool, improving performance for AI tasks compared to traditional PCs with separate RAM and VRAM. Combined with its small footprint and relatively low starting price, it offers an accessible entry point for AI development. However, there are trade-offs: memory and storage cannot be upgraded after purchase, higher RAM configurations are recommended for serious AI work, and users must supply their own monitor and peripherals. Some analysts also believe the limited availability could indicate Apple is preparing updated hardware, although supply issues may have delayed the expected M6 Mac mini launch until later in 2026 or in early 2027.

Googlebook Could Launch With Up to Eight Laptops From Lenovo, HP, Dell, Acer and Asus
The reported launch could give Googlebook a much broader starting point than ChromeOS had in 2011, when Google introduced the platform on just two laptops. The upcoming devices are expected to come from several established PC makers, with different chip architectures and designs catering to varied use cases. The reported hardware also points to Google's attempt to build the platform around more premium computing experiences from the beginning, rather than relying on basic reference machines and expanding the ecosystem gradually.
