Macworld Its official. Apple will announce its big push into the smart home on Tuesday, October 13. This isnt expected to be a big special event keynote at Apple Park, but rather a web launch with a coordinated Special Experience for invited members of the media to go hands-on with the new products in New York City. Apple did the same thing with the launch of the MacBook Neo earlier this year, after wrapping up a week of product announcements. That launch followed three days of announcements; however, this time everything is expected to drop at the same time. Apples Senior VP of Marketing Greg Joswiak posted a video showing the creation of the embroidered Apple logo and Welcome Home tagline. So what is Apple expected to announce? Reportedly, were getting a trio of new products: An updated Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini with new processors that make them suitable to run Siri AI, and the headline device, an all-new home hub device . The Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini are expected to be relatively straightforward updates with new chips to enable Apple Intelligence features and a few minor tweaks, such as HomePod mini colors, but without any dramatic design or interface changes. Its the new home hub device that is the star of the show. Apples answer to the Amazon Echo Show or Google Nest Hub, this new as-yet-unnamed device (most call it HomePad for now) is a totally new thing, with a new design, operating system, and interface. The most reliable rumors say it has a 6-inch display with a squareish aspect ratio, attached via a polished metal arm to a half-dome perforated base similar in size to a HomePod mini. Like a tiny little iMac G4 . It will have a new operating system and a new interface that is supposedly a mashup of tvOS, iOS widgets, iPhone Standby mode, and Apple Watch faces and complications. Youll be able to access your smart home controls as well as your calendar, messages, Apple Music and Podcasts, and make FaceTime calls thanks to the forward-facing camera. That camera reportedly has a cool new trick, too: recognizing which user is looking at it and switching to their own preferences and showing their own data. In addition to Apples trio of new products, it might show off some smart home stuff made in partnership with other manufacturers. Apple is said to have partnered with LG on a set of smart home products: A doorbell, an indoor camera, an outdoor camera, and an outdoor floodlight cam. These will carry LG branding, but were designed in conjunction with Apple, so Apple will likely show some of these products on October 13 as well. The media event to accompany this Welcome Home launch is on Tuesday, October 13 at 9:00 am ET in New York. Its not clear whether Apple will accompany this with a longer keynote-style video to introduce these products, as it does with other events, or if it will simply launch new product pages directly on the Apple website.

Intego ONE Review: Top-tier Mac malware protection with powerful Firewall controls
Macworld At a glance Expert's Rating Pros Malware detection that caught nearly every threat Fast scan speeds, processing 700GB+ and millions of files in under 10 minutes Strong, granular firewall controls with easy allow/deny/edit rule management Easy-to-use iPhone VPN with useful security checks Cons Lacks web/phishing protection and parental controls Slow quarantine cleanup iPhone app lacks advanced VPN features Our Verdict Intego ONE offers superb malware detection, excellent firewall controls, and impressively fast scan times, even across millions of files. Recent updates have improved performance during cleanup and resolved several frustrating bugs. It still lacks features such as spam and phishing prevention, and a few interface limitations remain, but its a strong choice for Mac users who want reliable malware protection and excellent network control at a good price. The Complete plan also includes an iPhone app with a straightforward VPN and useful security checks, although it lacks some advanced features found in dedicated VPN apps. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Price When Reviewed Intego ONE Essential from $2.50 a month/one device/first year, then $3.33 a month or $29.99 for the first year and then $39.99 a year. Best Prices Today: Intego ONE Retailer Price Intego (annual) $29.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Who its best for: Mac users who want strong, reliable malware protection with advanced control over network activity should seriously consider Intego ONE Complete. Its especially suited to users who prioritize security performance over having an all-in-one feature set. Who its not for: Its missing key features youd expect at this price, like phishing protection and parental controls, so if you need those features look elsewhere. At a glance Protection: Performance: Features: Ease of use: Value: Intego ONE is Integos new antivirus and anti-malware package, replacing Internet Security X9. We have long recommended its predecessor as the best antivirus utility for Mac users , thanks to its excellent malware detection, strong ransomware protection, and tools designed specifically for macOS. Intego ONE improves on it in several respects. There are three plans available, with options covering one, three, or five Macs. Intego ONE Complete also includes an iPhone for each Mac covered by the subscription. Intego ONE Essential: Antivirus protection and a firewall. Intego ONE Advanced: Adds SmartClean to free up disk space and remove junk files. Intego ONE Complete: Adds Intego VPN and an iPhone app with VPN access, network speed tests, and security checks. We tested Intego ONE Complete, including its Antivirus, Firewall, VPN, and SmartClean modules, as well as the companion iPhone app. Each Mac module has its own features and customization options, while the iPhone app provides additional VPN and security tools. Intego ONE requires macOS 12.4 Monterey or later and is easy to set up. Like previous versions, it asks for full disk access and permission to create a network extension for firewall and filtering functions. Antivirus: How good is Intego ONE Complete at detecting malware? An Intego ONE Complete Quick Scan in progress . Foundry Perhaps the strongest feature of the package, Intego ONEs antivirus module took just about everything I threw at it from over 130 viral samples from the Objective-See malware collection and came out smiling. Scan performance improved dramatically with version 1.2.3 (compared to our initial tests of the Release Candidate), with the software processing more than two million files in roughly eight minutes in testing placing it among the fastest options currently available for macOS. The software, which offers Full Scan, Quick Scan, and Custom Scan options, dovetailed in perfectly with the Xprotect/Gatekeeper tools found in macOS Tahoe 26.4, issued warnings, and prevented malware and ransomware from being installed on all fronts. Intego ONE quickly plowed through and removed more than 200 quarantined files, but left three behind. Foundry What few exceptions did get through via developer tools such as Xcode or Visual Code were caught moments later, and where I thought a fake copy of the Transmission BitTorrent client had gotten through, Intego ONE flagged it and quickly removed it via quarantine. Even fake Flash Player applications, which have long been the bane of antivirus utilities, were stopped immediately, and the software came through with flying colors while also scanning my MacBook Pros SSD, complete with more than 877GB of data, in under 10 minutes. Other nifty features from the Antivirus module included a Custom Scan feature, which was well-implemented and included targeted scanning as well as an excellent auto-scan feature in which a test flash drive with malware on it was quickly scanned and its suspect files quarantined. A handy scheduling feature worked like a charm, and its easy to configure a set daily, weekly, or monthly scan as needed. Firewall: How much control does the firewall actually give you? Quickly editing a Firewall function and assigning an application to a function . Foundry Intego ONEs firewall feature may not be as customizable as a systems administrator might like, but whats present is on point, complete with readily accessible configuration options that allow for a network connection and allow it to be denied or edited on the fly. One of the first things youll notice after installing the software is how active the firewall itself is, reminding you of network connections as they emerge and asking whether you approve them or if they might be suspicious. New rules can be created on the fly, and easy scripting allows you to activate applications on your Mac to deal with them as well as add a network port. A list of currently approved networks is available, and you can see which servers your Mac is trying to talk to and get a bead on your overall network traffic. VPN: Is the built-in VPN good enough to use daily? With the Intego ONE Complete plan you can take advantage of a VPN. This VPN may not be as robust as a dedicated VPN app, but whats present is robust and has a good level of customization. Just click into the module from the home screen, activate the VPN, and its easy to geolocate to one of 51 servers around the world, as well as choose favorites. Interestingly, the VPN module offers a choice between your preferred VPN module, wherein you can choose between Lightway UPD, which is optimized for speed, and Lightway TCP, which is optimized for reliability. Where performance itself was concerned, the bandwidth proved excellent, and the frame rates and audio sync on streaming content proved excellent. Intego ONE Complete also extends VPN protection to the iPhone, although the iOS app has fewer configuration options than its Mac counterpart. Heres how it performed in our tests. What does Intego ONE for iPhone do? VPN location selection and Security assessment Foundry Intego ONE for iOS is a mobile companion to Intego ONE Complete for Mac, combining a VPN with a selection of security and privacy checks. It doesnt offer the full antivirus and firewall protection found in the Mac version, but it provides useful tools for keeping your iPhones internet connection private and checking important security settings. The app requires iOS 18.2 or later and is available through the App Store. Installation is straightforward: download the app, sign in to your Intego account, and allow it to create a VPN configuration. Once thats done, youre ready to use the VPN and security tools. Is the VPN any good on iPhone? The VPN client makes it easy to switch between international servers and create a favorites list for locations you use regularly. Connections and disconnections are quick, and the app performed well in our tests over both Wi-Fi and cellular connections. One limitation is that the iPhone app currently supports only the WireGuard VPN protocol. This gives users fewer configuration options than the Mac version, although it shouldnt be an issue for most people who just want a simple VPN connection. We tested Intego ONE on an iPhone 17 running iOS 27.0.1, using both Wi-Fi and AT&Ts 5G network. Tests were conducted with Ooklas Speedtest.net app and Integos built-in speed test tool. On Wi-Fi, our download speed averaged 84.1Mbps without a VPN, dropping to 71.9Mbps when connected to a Canadian server and 71.3Mbps with a New York server. Thats a reduction of around 15%, leaving plenty of bandwidth for streaming and other everyday activities. The impact was greater over cellular. Our average download speed fell from 289.4Mbps without a VPN to 179.2Mbps through Canada and 174.8Mbps through New York, a reduction of approximately 38% to 40%. Nevertheless, these speeds remained more than adequate for streaming and large file transfers. Integos built-in speed test reported average download speeds of 70.3Mbps over Wi-Fi and 139Mbps over cellular. Streaming worked smoothly during testing, with good video quality, and the iPhone maintained a reasonable temperature even when streaming on battery power. What security features does Intego ONE offer on iPhone? Beyond its VPN, Intego ONE provides a useful security checkup. It can remind you to review whether important iPhone protections are enabled, including Face ID, your passcode, and the latest iOS updates. The app also checks settings relating to ad tracking, detects whether screen recording is active, and looks for signs of jailbreaking, which can weaken Apples built-in security protections. Intego ONE can also check the security of the Wi-Fi network your iPhone is connected to. The check takes around 10 seconds and identifies potential security issues, including whether the network uses strong encryption. It also reports connection speed, which can be useful when connecting to unfamiliar networks in hotels, cafs, or airports. These tools are helpful reminders, particularly if you dont regularly review your iPhones security and privacy settings. However, they dont replace active threat protection. Intego ONE for iOS wont prevent you from visiting a malicious website or clicking a phishing link, and it doesnt provide the traditional antivirus and malware-scanning capabilities found in Intego ONE for Mac. Is Intego ONE for iPhone worth using? Intego ONE for iPhone is a useful addition to the Complete package. Its VPN is easy to configure, switching servers is straightforward, and performance was good enough for everyday use, including streaming. Its less suitable for users who want the extensive customization offered by dedicated VPN services, including more protocol choices and an internet kill switch. The security checks are useful, but theyre reminders to review your settings rather than comprehensive protection against online threats. If youre already subscribing to Intego ONE Complete for your Mac, the iPhone app is a worthwhile extra. It provides an easy way to use a VPN on the go while encouraging better security habits, without needing to learn another complicated security app. For more on VPNs read our group test of the best VPNs for iPhone and iPad . SmartClean: Is SmartClean a good Mac cleaner? The SmartClean module is included with the Intego ONE Advanced and Intego ONE Complete plans. Its a tool for disk optimization and offers several functions to manage CPU usage, RAM usage, a Disk Space Monitor, an App Uninstaller, and Optimization history. Each function works well, and the overall SmartClean Optimization Scan was able to locate 111GB of large files on my Mac that could be removed, as well as 500MB of cache and log files. It is a good way to claw back some drive space without decimating your larger work files. This disk cleanup can be extended in the settings to also include old downloads and old trash files, which is a nice option. The Uninstaller function worked well and cleanly removed several extraneous applications I had on my SSD, but an attempt to remove a copy of DaVinci Resolve during a test run had to be repeated. This is one of a few bugs that cropped up in our testing of the Release Candidate, so we raised these issue with Intego and will be verifying that it has been addressed in the final version of the software. What is missing? Parental controls and spam/phishing protection would be good to see in a future update. What issues and bugs did we encounter? Quarantining suspect files in Intego ONE . Foundry While Intego ONE Complete is generally excellent and its component functions shine, there are still a few quirks and interface limitations to note, though several earlier issues identified in our initial review have been resolved. The application no longer repeatedly prompts for the system password during quarantine or malware removal, which was a major annoyance in earlier builds. Performance during large-scale cleanup has also improved considerably, with better system load distribution preventing the Mac from slowing to a crawl. During testing, the software successfully processed and removed more than 200 quarantined files quickly, though a small number of files (three in our case) remained and required additional attention. The user interface, while generally friendly, still lacks the ability to resize or expand to full screen, which feels like an unnecessary limitation. A previous issue involving the application resetting permissions and requiring reinstallation did not reoccur in this version, suggesting it may have been resolved. Pricing: Is Intego ONE good value? Intego ONE Essential starts $2.50/1.87 a month for one device for the first year, after that first year it will default to the full price of $3.33/2.50 a month. Thats $29.99/22.49 for the first year and then $39.99/29.99 a year. You can choose a two year plan to keep paying the lower price for longer. Get the best Intego ONE deal here Intego ONE Advanced (with the Mac cleaner) is currently $52.49/38.49 for the first year, and Intego ONE Complete (with the VPN) is $67.49/45.49 for the first year. There are plans for one, three or five devices. Intego ONE Complete also includes the iPhone app, with plans covering one Mac and one iPhone, three Macs and three iPhones, or five Macs and five iPhones. The iPhone app includes VPN access, network speed tests, and security checks, but not the Mac versions antivirus and firewall features. In comparison to Integos Mac Internet Security X9, which though available for $24.99/20.99 for the first year, rose to $49.99/49.99 a year afterwards, the new pricing structure is better for the long-term. The price is also very favourable compared to alternatives we include in our round up of the Best Antivirus software for Mac users . Foundry Should you buy Intego ONE? Intego ONE proves to be an easy recommendation if youre looking for strong malware protection and advanced firewall control on your Mac, and this is where the application shines. Recent updates have addressed several early bugs and significantly improved performance, making Intego ONE a more compelling option than at launch. The addition of an iPhone app makes the Complete package more appealing if you want protection for both your Mac and iPhone. While the iOS app doesnt offer the same antivirus capabilities as the Mac version, its straightforward VPN delivered good performance in our tests, and the security checks provide useful reminders. Its a worthwhile addition rather than a reason to subscribe on its own. Where core protection is concerned, this is one of the best options available for your Mac, and this, combined with Integos 30-day money-back guarantee, makes it well worth a trial run.

UGREEN has been busy expanding its Nexode Pro charging lineup lately, and it just added a new Smart Display-equipped 45W model to the mix. The grey variant debuted a few days back and is already down to $29.99 shipped from its usual $35 price, but the brands official Amazon storefront has now unleashed a new Burgundy variant as well.

This RTX 5060 gaming PC undercuts the Steam Machine at just $899 today ($500 off)
As part of its fall sale event , Walmart is now offering an ABS Cyclone M Aqua gaming PC for $899 shipped . This Intel-powered desktop with an RTX 5060 typically goes for around $1,400, so youre looking at roughly $500 in savings today. Not only is that a great price for what looks like a well-rounded gaming machine in 2026, but it also undercuts Valves latest Steam Machine by $150 while offering relatively stronger specifications on paper. We recently saw a similarly-specced PC go for $1,050, which made for an interesting comparison with the Steam Machine, but the listing highlighted here today is a no-brainer if youre putting together a new battlestation and dont want to spend over $1,000 to power it. Head below for more details. more

Macworld Podcast: iPhone 18 Pro review
Macworld The iPhone 18 Pro is here, offering better performance, better battery life, and better cameras. Is it worth the money? Tune in to find out. This is episode 1003 with Michael Simon , Jason Cross , and Roman Loyola . Episode 1003 on YouTube Episode 1003 on Apple Podcasts Episode 1003 on Spotify Get info Click on the links below for more information on what was discussed on the show, iPhone 18 Pro review: The best kind of boring iPhone 18 Pro & Max Guide: Everything you need to know Apple confirms iPhone cellular issue, admits affected units cant be fixed Wait, is the iPhone 18 Pro really faster than an M4 Mac? Popping your iPhone 18 Pro into last years case? Not so fast The iPhone 18 Pro is a reward for those who waited Comment Corner There are more factors involved. I have been running an EDU base M4 Mac Mini that I paid $499 for. The 16GB of Ram is killing me. Apple is offering $565 in trade making the M5 Pro with EDU $1039 + tax. You cant buy a 24GB or a upgraded SSD on a M6 in store, they are BTO only. You have to buy it and wait. So for some of us, the M5 Pro makes far more sense. proaudio4musicians via YouTube No way I will buy the M6 Mac mini, it is way too expensive, Im staying with my M4 mini. Plus, Apple removed all ways for users to upgrade the mini mfmayes via YouTube On the refurb stores the m4 mac minis are very poorly priced, at least in Australia. Actually, the refurb store is generally very poorly priced. I guess someone must be buying stuff there, but I dont get why. If I could avoid refurg, I could spring the extra for new and newest model. Theres little incentive to go to the refurb store. StingyGeek via YouTube I think the consumer market will go into hibernation for a while. No reasonable person will buy a computer at these prices. Well keep our old stuff come up with innovative ways to reuse our old hardware. That may be a good thing. Billy Mania 11 via YouTube Is the Studio allowing for 3rd party SSDs? I see the mini has shut that down. bioglassmusic via YouTube Subscribe to the Macworld Podcast You can subscribe to the Macworld Podcastor leave us a review! right here in the Podcasts app .

High Mac prices got you down? These Amazon deals offer major relief
Macworld Everything is more expensive nowadays, including Macs. The higher prices have an effect on our shopping habits, so you might be more inclined to take advantage of a sale price as soon as you see one, instead of waiting for a better deal. After all, theres a good chance prices will go up again, since the supply shortage isnt going to ease up anytime soon . Today is the last day of Amazons fall sales event, and that includes Macs. We werent expecting much, but you can save a good chunk of change on many Mac models during the event, and there are a few Macs that are actually really good deals. Here are the Amazon Mac deals you should pick up before time runs out. And if Macs arent your thing, be sure to check out all the Best Prime Day Apple deals . M6 Mac mini Simon Jary / Foundry When Apple released the M6 Mac mini, it raised prices on top of the June hikes, bringing the entry-level model to a depressing $899. But today, Amazon is selling the base M6 Mac mini for $780 , a savings of $119 (13 percent) off Apples price. It only has 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, which probably isnt enough for AI development, but you can also save up to $150 on models with more storage and memory , so go check it out. Mac mini on Amazon U.S. MacBook Air Eugen Wegmann Amazon is offering $200 off the M5 MacBook Air , an excellent deal that brings the price back to what Apple originally charged. Were expecting an upgrade to the M6 within the next six months, but even if the price stays the same, youre going to pay regular price for that laptop at least until Amazons July Prime Day event. Also, the 20 percent performance boost of M6 over the M5 doesnt have the same value as it used to, so youre safe grabbing this Amazon deal before time runs out. The $200 price cut doesnt just apply to the base 16GB/512GB SSD model. You can save $200 on the models with 24GB of RAM or a 1TB SSD, too, in any of the Air colors. Nice! 13-inch MacBook Air on Amazon 15-inch MacBook Air on Amazon MacBook Pro Foundry We dont really recommend the M5 MacBook Pro even on sale , but the higher-end MacBook Pro models on Amazon offer bigger savings. For example, the 14-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro with 24GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD is $2,699 , a $300 savings. Another example: the 16-inch M5 Max MacBook Pro with 36GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD is $3,899 , which is $500 less than the regular price. Now, perhaps youre waiting for the imminent OLED MacBook Pro upgrade, which could happen soon. Even though rumors say it will be lighter and feature Apples first touchscreen on a Mac, be prepared to pay a lot for itits going to be pricey. Since its an entirely new laptop, we dont expect it to go on sale for a long while, and in the meantime, you can have a speedy new MacBook Pro and save yourself a lot of time. 14-inch MacBook Pro on Amazon 16-inch MacBook Pro on Amazon Black Magic Mouse Apple Im not the biggest fan of the low profile feel of Apples Magic Mouse, but Ill admit, the black Magic Mouse is striking. Its on sale now for $79 on Amazon , which is $20 off, along with the black Magic Trackpad for $130 (MSRP $149). Unfortunately, the black Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad doesnt get the same sale treatment if youre looking to complete the set.
