You can now get the Apple Watch Ultra 3 for $699.97 right now, the best price weve seen. Thats a savings of $200 and a great price for a truly loaded smartwatch It may not be the newest model around, but that doesnt change the fact that the Ultra 3 is a watch that was built to last. The case is titanium, and the display comes with tough sapphire crystal thats resistant to scratches, so you dont have to worry about it getting damaged if you so much as touch it to things around you. Its also water resistant up to 100 meters, so its perfect for swimmers, divers, and anyone who loves water sports. On top of all the features it brings to the table to help you track your fitness journey, hikes, and all other sporting adventures, the Ultra 3 can also help keep an eye on your health. It can take ECGs, check your heart rhythm, send alerts for signs of hypertension and irregular heart rhythms, and so much more. Overnight, it even tracks your sleep schedule. The battery life on the Ultra 3 is also impressive, with up to 42 hours of normal use and up to 72 hours in Low Power Mode, so a weekend hike wont leave you looking for a charger. Just note, you wont be getting Apples new Audio Intelligence features that let you see a transcript of the last 15 seconds of a conversation (Live Rewind) or a summary of a full conversation (Siri Recap). However, you will get access to the new Siri AI and all of the features of watchOS 27, including the new Dynamic App Grid and tap gestures. For a few pennies under $700, this Ultra 3 model with a titanium case is an absolute bargain, so grab one while its still on sale.

The new Mac mini hides an ugly SSD secret

Macworld The good news about the new Mac mini is that it offers very good CPU and GPU performance, whether its the M6 or M5 Pro model. But there is some bad news under the hood: Apple has returned to using soldered-on SSDs, which means owners cant upgrade the storage themselves. Expand Mac mini took apart the M6 and M5 Pro Mac mini and found the soldered SSD. Its an unexpected turn, since the previous M4 and M4 Pro Mac mini switched to an SSD design that was implemented as a removable module . As such Expand Mac mini and others made a business out of selling SSD module upgrades. Mac mini M6 / M5 Pro have updated design to have the SSD NANDs soldered onto the motherboard Not what we are hoped for! https://t.co/SF5v8Acw8I pic.twitter.com/rkbnT1kVhV Expand Mac mini (@expandmacmini) September 22, 2026 It gets even worse with the M6 Mac mini. If you look at the pictures in Expand Mac minis post above, you can see the SSD module at the bottom of the Mac. The M6 Mac mini pictured is the model with a 256GB SSD, and its a single module. As weve seen before , having two SSD modules is better for speed. The single module means its going to be significantly slower, though users can upgrade to the 512GB model to get the dual design. The M4 Mac mini was something of an outlier for the Mac mini with an upgradable SSD. If you were going to buy a Mac mini and held out for the new one, you could try to find a used M4 Mac mini for sale, but given the Mac minis stock issues, youll probably end up paying more than you should (and Apples Certified Refurbished Store does not have any in stock). Everyday Mac mini buyers probably wont notice either of these downgrades, but the Mac mini has become very popular among AI enthusiasts, who wont be happy about the changes. Theyll be happy to know that the M5 Max and Ultra Mac Studio still has an upgradeable SSD . However, that model costs a lot more than the Mac mini.

Apple developing screenless fitness tracker, report claims

Macworld Apples senior management are known to regard the wearables market as an important and lucrative one, and the company has already launched two successful wearable product lines: the Apple Watch, which effortlessly dominates the smartwatch market, and the companys massively popular AirPods wireless earbuds. (Theres also the acclaimed Vision Pro VR headset, but that device is far too expensive to enter the mainstream.) Now Apple is plotting its next major push into the wearables space. One option, according to a new report, is a type of health and fitness tracker. If that sounds similar to the Apple Watch (which found success at the very moment when Apple came to understand its value as a health and fitness accessory) theres a key difference. This product would not have a screen, which simplifies its functionality, improves battery life, and brings down the price. Writing for Bloomberg (subscription required), Mark Gurman claims Apple is currently developing prototypes of the device, but hasnt yet decided whether or not to release it. The project remains in a preliminary phase known internally as a technology investigation, he explains. Gurman explicitly draws a comparison to screenless products made by Whoop , which has already inspired several copycats . That company makes wearable devices to monitor health, stress, sleep and so on, along with an app which translates the data into analysis and coaching advice. The devices look like wristwatch straps, only without a screen. The lack of a screen and overall simpler design mean that the Whoop 5.0, for example, is credited with 14-day battery life, as compared to the estimated 24 hours of the Apple Watch Series 12. Its also cheaper than Apple Watch Series 12, which starts at $399, but you dont actually pay for the hardware; instead you select a 12-month membership ($199, $239, or $359), which includes a band. But youll need to keep paying a subscription as long as you want to use it. Some other similar devices are cheaper still: the Fitbit Air is just $100 with no membership required. With the Apple Watch line-up starting at $249 for the most basic (and now one year out of date) SE 3, theres a clear gap in the companys wearables portfolio for something leaner and more focused on health monitoring. We argued back in May that a screen-less Apple Watch Neo was exactly what the company needs, so its heartening to hear that this may now happen. But not soon, unfortunately. Gurman warns that, even if the technology investigation is successful and leads to a product release, this is unlikely to happen before 2028.

New Mac mini 2026: M6 and M5 Pro specs, prices and what

Macworld New Mac mini 2026: At a glance Whats new: The 2026 Mac mini delivers much faster performance, especially for graphics and AI, thanks to the M6 and M5 Pro chips. It also brings faster storage and upgraded connectivity, with Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 and 2.5Gb Ethernet as standard. Release date : Announced on August 25, 2026 Price : From $899/899 In August 2026, Apple launched a new Mac mini to replace the M4 and M4 Pro Mac mini which was introduced in October 2024. Externally the 2026 Mac mini looks just as it did following the redesign in October 2024 its still a five-by-five-inch square with two front USB-C ports and the headphone jack, with three Thunderbolt ports, HDMI and Ethernet on the rear. Its whats inside that has changed. The new Mac mini models offer new chips, the M6 and the M5 Pro. This is a similar scenario to a few years ago when Apple launched the M4 Mac Studio alongside the M3 Ultra Mac Studio. There is likely to be some confusion about the chip generations so we will explain the differences in more detail below. These new chips offer a significant jump in performance, especially relating to AI. With this update it is particularly apparent that Apple is positioning the Mac mini as an AI machine. When is the new Mac mini available? The new Mac mini M6 and M5 Pro models were announced on August 25, 2026 and started shipping on September 22. How much does the new Mac mini cost? Model Price M6, 16GB, 256GB $899 / 899 M6, 16GB, 512GB $1,199 / 1,199 M5 Pro, 24GB, 512GB $1,699 / 1,699 Has the Mac mini price gone up? In June 2026, Apple raised the starting price of the Mac mini by $200, from $599 to $799. The increase was part of a broader price hike across the entire Mac lineup, which Apple attributed to an unprecedented rise in component costs, particularly RAM. We had hoped this meant Mac mini pricing would remain at the June level for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, with the arrival of the new models, Apple has raised prices againthis time by a further $100/100. Heres a breakdown of the key price changes for the Mac mini: Chip Original Price June Price 2026 replacement price M4, 16GB, 256GB $599 / 599 $799 / 799 M6, $899 / 899 M4, 16GB, 512GB $799 / 799 $999 / 999 M6, $1,199 / 1,199 M4 Pro, 24GB, 512GB $1,399 / 1,399 $1,599 / 1,599 M5 Pro, $1,699 / 1,699 This is no longer a budget Mac. Apple Mac mini (M6, 2026) Price When Reviewed: $899 Best Prices Today: $879.99 at Amazon | $899 at Apple | $899 at Best Buy US Apple Mac mini (M5 Pro, 2026) Read our review Price When Reviewed: $1,699 Best Prices Today: $1699 at Apple | $1699 at Best Buy US Mac mini M6 and M5 Pro specs As well as the move from M4 and M4 Pro to M6 and M5 Pro, the Mac mini also gains storage that is up to twice as fast, according to Apple, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, 2.5Gb Ethernet. The M5 Pro model adds genlock support through its Thunderbolt 5 ports, for synchronizing a display and camera in professional video workflows. The new M6 chip has launched in the Mac mini. Apple Processor: M6 and M5 Pro chip compared There may be some confusion over the chip generations in the new Mac mini. The mainstream model uses the newer M6 chip, while the more powerful model uses the older-generation M5 Pro. Pro chips are designed for heavier professional workloads, with more CPU and GPU cores, higher memory bandwidth, support for more unified memory, additional displays and faster Thunderbolt connectivity. So while M5 Pro remains the more capable chip overall, the M6 offers a significant step up from the M4 it replaces in the previous generation Mac mini. Macwelt has now tested the M6 Mac mini , and we have reviewed the M5 Pro Mac mini . Macwelts tests show that the M6 can lead in single-core CPU and Neural Engine performance, while the M5 Pro retains a clear advantage in multicore CPU and GPU performance. M6 : The Mac mini is the first Mac to ship with the M6 chip, replacing the M4 in the entry-level model. It features a 12-core CPU and 12-core GPU, up from 10 CPU and GPU cores in the previous generation, and supports up 170GB/s memory bandwidth if you choose 24GB or 32GB memory (the 16GB configuration offers 153GB/s bandwidth). Apple promises up to 40% faster CPU performance, twice the graphics performance and up to 4x faster AI performance than M4. It also introduces Apples first Dual 16-core Neural Engine, delivering up to twice the Neural Engine performance. M5 Pro : The M5 Pro replaces the M4 Pro in the higher-end Mac mini and can be configured with up to an 18-core CPU and 20-core GPU. Apple claims up to 4x faster LLM processing, 1.4x faster Blender ray-tracing performance and 1.5x faster Affinity image processing than M4 Pro. It supports up to 64GB of unified memory with 307GB/s memory bandwidth. Both chips feature Neural Accelerators in their GPU cores, but the M5 Pros additional CPU and GPU cores, greater memory capacity and higher bandwidth make it better suited to video production, 3D rendering, development and larger local AI models. What the benchmarks show Macwelt tested an M6 Mac mini with 24GB of memory and a 512GB SSD. In Geekbench 7, it scored 4,055 in single-core and 22,695 in multicore, compared with 3,277 and 15,693 for Macwelts M4 mini. In the same set of tests, the M6 scored higher than the M5 Pro in single-core performance (4,055 versus 3,720), but the M5 Pro led by a substantial margin in multicore performance (34,281 versus 22,695) and GPU compute. That makes the M6 a compelling choice for most buyers, while the M5 Pro better suits heavily threaded and GPU-intensive work. These are results from the configurations tested, not measurements of the base M6 or M5 Pro models. Storage Apple claims up to twice the storage performance of the previous generation. In Macwelts Blackmagic Disk Speed Test, its M6 mini with a 512GB SSD reached approximately 6,700MB/s writing and 6,400MB/s reading, versus 3,000MB/s writing and 3,400MB/s reading on its M4 comparison machine. SSD speed can vary by capacity, so these figures may not apply to the base 256GB M6 mini. Other than that the storage capacities are as before 256GB, 512GB, 1TB and 2TB for the M6 model and 512GB, 1TB, 2TB, 4TB and 8TB SSDs for the M5 Pro model. RAM Both the M4 and M6 Mac mini can be configured with up to 32GB of unified memory. Both the M4 Pro and M5 Pro models can be configured with up to 64GB. Connectivity: WiFi & Bluetooth Simon Jary / Foundry Wi-Fi : Both models now support Wi-Fi 7 which replaces the previous wireless standard Wi-Fi 6E. Bluetooth :Both models also move to Bluetooth 6, replacing Bluetooth 5.3. Ethernet : Previously faster Ethernet was an upgrade; the new models now have 2.5Gb Ethernet, with 10Gb Ethernet available as a configurable option. Thunderbolt : The M6 Mac mini has three Thunderbolt 4 ports and the the M5 Pro version has three Thunderbolt 5 ports. This is the same as the previous generation. Genlock : Apple has added Genlock support over USB-C. This is used for synchronising a display and camera (which can be an iPhone 17 Pro). It is aimed at professional video workflows Display support : The M6 Mac mini will support up to two 6K displays plus one 5K display, while the M5 Pro supports up to three 6K displays. Other ports include two USB-C/USB 3 ports and a headphone jack on the front and HDMI and Ethernet remain on the rear, as previously.

The M6 Mac mini is the best fit for most buyers who want a fast, compact desktop for everyday work, coding and mainstream creative tasks. Macwelts tests show a substantial performance gain over the M4, although its test machine had 24GB of memory and a 512GB SSD rather than the base configuration. Choose the M5 Pro Mac mini if your work benefits from its stronger multicore CPU and GPU performance, Thunderbolt 5, greater memory bandwidth or support for more than 32GB of unified memory. Those advantages are most relevant to sustained professional work and larger local AI models. Check the price of the configuration you need before ordering: the M5 Pro starts at $1,699/1,699, and memory, storage and other upgrades add up quickly. Our reviewed $2,899 M5 Pro mini cost $100 more than an M5 Max Mac Studio configuration with a stronger GPU and more ports, although the Studio had 36GB of memory rather than the minis 48GB. See our Mac mini buying guide for advice on which model to choose and whether to wait. Should you buy the 2026 Mac mini? The M6 and M5 Pro Mac mini are on sale now, and independent test results are available for both models.

Your $1,500 iPhone 18 Pro Max doesn

Macworld Ive never dropped a smartphone in my life. Ever. Ive grown so confident that these days I use my iPhone without a case and screen protector at all times, since the chances of disaster are clearly low. But that doesnt mean my phones live a completely charmed life. After months of daily use, even without a drop, the display tends to attract micro scratches, while some degree of battery degradation is almost inevitable. Its all part of the natural wear and tear that serves as a reminder that even premium hardware is ultimately a consumable. The iPhone 17 Pro launched with a ton of fundamental changes to its internal and external designs back in September 2025. We got a new set of build materials, second-generation Ceramic Shield, a larger battery, improved thermal management, and much more. These modifications have noticeably impacted the iPhones durabilityboth positively and negatively. Having used an iPhone 17 Pro Max without protection since day one, Im ready to evaluate how this latest flagship holds up. Even though I was using an iPhone 17 Pro for this article, the conclusions apply to the iPhone 18 Pro, which has the same aluminum body and Ceramic Shield glass. In fact, when I traded in my iPhone 17 Pro Max last week to upgrade to the new model, the salesclerk could not believe it had been used for a full year without any form of protection. After thorough inspection of the display and back, he could only spot the smallest of blemishes. More chipping, less cracking While Pro iPhones have always featured the iconic triple-camera layout, their build materials have shifted over the years. The iPhone 11 Pro debuted with a stainless steel frame, a standard that held for the next three models. Although this construction generally didnt chip, it did attract obvious scuffs and fingerprint smudges. With the iPhone 15 Pro and 16 Pro, Apple switched to a titanium alloy, which made the frame tougher and less prone to scratches. Then the iPhone 17 Pro came along, retiring titanium in favor of aluminum. Aluminum is weaker than titanium, making the latest iPhone more susceptible to dents if dropped. I havent dropped mine to confirm, but its basic science. More importantly, the frame now chips easily with regular usesomething Ive never experienced with previous Pro iPhones Ive owned. Even though I dont use the Camera Control button, the aluminum around it has become nicked. The sharp, raised edge of the Pro camera system area has similarly chipped, revealing the silver metal beneath the blue finish. Other design concerns include the small gap between the metal frame and back glass panel, which actively collects dust particles. Thats not to mention that the glass panel itself leaves visible marks when I attach a MagSafe charger, requiring me to rigorously polish it to restore the shine. Looking at the bigger picture, minimizing the use of glass has made the iPhones back more durable. Unlike with previous models, a drop would now chip or bend the aluminum instead of cracking the expensive glass sheet. The iPhone 17 Pros aesthetics may not age as gracefully, but its certainly a more functional phone now. The Camera Control button showed some nicks around the edge. Mahmoud Itani / Foundry The toughest screen yet The durability of the screen is arguably more significant than that of any other component; its the part youll be viewing and interacting with, and any imperfections to its smooth surface will be distractingly obvious. With this in mind I always place my iPhone in a separate pocket on its own, away from keys and other sharp objects. I also avoid putting it face down on solid surfaces such as restaurant tables. For years, this approach has protected my iPhones screen from big scratchesbut there was no escaping the micro abrasions that are particularly noticeable in direct sunlight after months of regular use. At the iPhone 17 launch event, Apple boasted about the displays Ceramic Shield 2, which supposedly triples its scratch resistance. I initially dismissed this marketing lingo, as upgrading my iPhone annually typically makes it hard to notice these types of iterative introductions. Boy, was I wrong. After seven months of use without a screen protector, my iPhone 17 Pro Maxs display has zero micro scratches. This is the first time in my life Ive managed to use a smartphone this long without the screen developing any sort of surface damage. I havent changed the way I handle it; the Ceramic Shield 2 is just that much better at resisting scratches, maintaining the phones pristine look. Spot the scratch. You may be looking for a while. Mahmoud Itani / Foundry Better thermals, less battery degradation Beyond the cosmetics, the battery plays a major role when evaluating a smartphones durability. I typically connect my iPhone to a wired charger when its battery level drops to 20 percent and disconnect it right after it reaches 100 percent. I occasionally rely on a MagSafe charger and leave it plugged in overnight without enabling any optimized battery charging features. Within 6 months, the batterys maximum capacity would usually drop to 95 percent or so. With the iPhone 17 Pro, Apple introduced an aluminum build and vapor chamber for improved thermal management, along with a larger battery. (The 18 Pro brings a a next-generation vapor chamber with a new design built for improves sustained performance.) These changes minimize overheating and stretch the flagships battery life remarkably, slowing down the degradation cycle. While I still follow the same charging and usage routines, my iPhone 17 Pro Maxs maximum battery capacity stayed near 100 percent longer than ever, and the 18 Pro should do event better. So users holding on to their iPhones for multiple years wont need to have the batteries replaced as often. Battery health degrades more slowly than in the past. Mahmoud Itani / Foundry Conclusions: Amazingly durable, with room for improvement This wasnt the perfect performance across the board, and Apple has left room for improvement in future generations. This isnt unusual: radically transformed products are often riddled with imperfections that manufacturers address in the years that follow. The MacBook Air M3 , for example, added an anodization seal to minimize fingerprints on the Midnight variant following M2 user complaints. Apple could similarly tweak the iPhones aluminum coating to limit chipping. The back glass panel on the iPhone 18 Pro is now color-matched to the body, but it has the same Ceramic Shield scratch resistance rather than the 2nd-gen process used on the front glass. As for the displays resistance, Im genuinely impressed by how the Ceramic Shield 2 is holding up: 10 out of 10, no notes. The battery life and thermal management have likewise become more reliable than ever. At this point, any groundbreaking changes to the battery will probably require dropping the lithium-ion technology in favor of something completely different. Once a fragile glass sandwich, the iPhone Pro has become a beacon of durability and dependability.

Anthropic Launches Claude Opus 5.5 With Fable-Level Performance at a Lower Price

Anthropic today launched Claude Opus 5.5 , which it says is the first model in a new 5.5 model family. Opus 5.5 performs at the level of Claude Fable 5.1 on most work, but costs 40 percent less to run than Opus 5. According to Anthropic, Opus 5.5 is a major step up from Opus 5 with improvements in performance and safety. Opus 5.5 is comparable to Mythos 5.1 in biology and cybersecurity, so Anthropic is launching it with safeguards similar to those on Fable 5.1. Opus 5.5 also generates output over 30 percent faster than Opus 5. On benchmarks shared by Anthropic, Opus 5.5 surpassed Fable 5.1 on agentic coding, knowledge work, computer use, visual chart recognition, and multidisciplinary reasoning. Anthropic says the model communicates more naturally than prior models, putting important information at the front of a response so it's easier to understand at a glance. It is less likely to use jargon or idiosyncratic phrases, and it follows the writing rules it's given. Claude Opus 5.5 is available on all platforms as of today. With the launch of Opus 5.5, Anthropic is raising the five-hour usage limits on Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise plans. Subscribers have also received a rate limit reset that can be used anytime between now and October 22.
