Apple ninja edits Mac Studio specs to remove PCIe Gen 6 storage reference
Macworld During Apple surprise Mac announcements last week, the company declared in its press release that the Mac Studio features a next-generation SSD architecture built on PCIe Gen 6. However, that mention has since been removed from the Mac Studio press release and site, as spotted by MacGeneration . The PCIe Gen 6 statement has been removed from the Apple U.K., Apple Germany, and Apple Japan press releases, though strangely, the PCIe Gen 6 reference still exists in the Apple France press release . The releases still list August 25, 2026, as the day of publication and have no record of an update, but we, along with many other outlets, quoted the PCIe Gen 6 in our original stories and havent been contacted by Apple about a correction. The press release now reads, Storage performance is up to twice as fast, with a next-generation SSD architecture, delivering industry-leading read and write speeds for rapid project loading, file transfers, and loading huge LLMs. The twice as fast comparision is to the M3 Ultra Mac Studio. The Internet Archive has a copy of the U.S. Mac Studio press release, recorded on August 25 at 13:03:29, and it contains the PCIe Gen 6 reference. Other copies recorded by the Internet Archive on August 25 still have the reference, but the first record of the press release on August 26 at 02:03:13 shows that the release was revised to remove references to PCIe Gen 6. PCIe Gen 6 is the next generation of the PCIe interconnect standard, offering performance upgrades over the PCIe Gen 5 standard. Apple did not specify that the M5 Ultra Mac Studio implements PCIe Gen 5, but the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips are equipped with it. So its likely that the M5 Ultra has it too, and Apple made an error in its press release. Apple was contacted for clarification and had yet to respond at the time of this posting.

Longtime exec Phil Schiller is downgrading his role at Apple again
Macworld Bloombergs Mark Gurman reported on Monday that Apple executive Phil Schiller is stepping down from his roles as leader of the App Store and manager of product events. The news comes on Tim Cooks last day as Apple CEO . Schiller became an Apple Fellow in 2020 after initially stepping down as SVP of Worldwide Marketing, a position he had held since 2000. He joined Apple as a product marketing manager in 1987, but left in 1995 for Macromedia. He rejoined Apple in 1997 when Steve Jobs returned to the company. When Schiller became an Apple Fellow, he relinquished his marketing role to Greg Joswiak , but he continued to lead the efforts for the App Store and product events. The App Store duties move over to Apples services division, which is run by SVP Eddy Cue. Carson Oliver will run the App Store on a daily basis. Apples events team is now run by Nola Weinstein, who has acted as Schillers deputy since 2023, according to Gurman. Weinstein reports to Kristin Huguet Quayle, Apples vice president of communications and public relations. Schiller will still serve as an Apple Fellow and will work on unspecified initiatives, but the change is an indication that Schiller is moving towards full retirement. When he stepped down as SVP in 2020, it was viewed as the start of a gradual move towards leaving the company. Apples executive suite has been undergoing a series of personal changes in the past few years as leaders age towards retirement. Lisa Jackson (VP for Environment, Policy, and Social Initiatives) retired in January, John Giannandrea (SVP, Machine Learning and AI) retired in April, and Katherine Adams (SVP Government Affairs) will retire by the end of the year. In 2025, Luca Maestri (CFO) and Jeff Williams (COO) retired , whille Alan Dye (VP Human Interface Design) left for Meta. And of course, Tim Cook steps down as CEO this week. The executive changes will be a challenge for incoming CEO John Ternus , but the company is in a position where it is seeing growth and success with all of its products. At the same time, Apple clearly needs to show it can develop and incorporate AI-based technologies to show progress going forward. New blood can help drive Apple towards that goal.

Div Com Urges Fruit Growers to Use Rail Freight for Apple Transportation
SRINAGAR, AUGUST 31: Divisional Commissioner Kashmir Anshul Garg on Monday urged fruit growers, traders and other stakeholders to make greater use of railway goods and freight services for transporting apples and other horticulture produce to domestic mandis and international destinations. Garg was chairing a meeting convened to review the utilization of railway freight services for transportation of horticulture produce from Kashmir. The meeting was attended by IGP Traffic Kashmir M. Soleman Choudhary, Deputy Commissioners, Director Horticulture Planning & Marketing Ghulam Jeelani Zargar, officials of Northern Railway, Industries & Commerce and Information Departments, besides representatives of various fruit associations. The Divisional Commissioner directed all Deputy Commissioners and the Director Horticulture Planning & Marketing to consult fruit growers, traders, associations and aggregators and encourage them to utilize railway freight services on a wider scale. He stressed that rail transportation should be increasingly used for long-distance destinations, as it offers a cost-effective and efficient means of transporting large quantities of horticulture produce. He also called for better coordination among growers, traders, fruit associations and railway authorities to ensure smooth movement of consignments. Garg laid special emphasis on maximizing the transportation of horticulture produce from Jablipora Mandi in Anantnag through rail services. He further directed Deputy Commissioners to explore and facilitate movement of a certain percentage of fruit consignments by rail from their respective districts. Discussing the Roll-on/Roll-off (Ro-Ro) service, the Divisional Commissioner asked Northern Railway officials to share an informational video with fruit associations explaining the technical requirements for trucks, including permissible load height and other parameters, to facilitate effective use of the service. On road transportation, Garg and IGP Traffic Kashmir directed fruit associations to undertake extensive sensitization of truck drivers regarding adherence to permissible load limits on the National Highway. They cautioned that overloading violates prescribed norms and poses serious risks to road safety and traffic management, warning that strict action would be taken against vehicles found violating the rules. Representatives of fruit associations put forward suggestions and sought long-term measures to strengthen transportation infrastructure for the horticulture sector, including improved connectivity of fruit mandis with the railway network. They also appreciated the administration for its continued support and facilitation of the fruit industry. Earlier, Director Horticulture Planning & Marketing Ghulam Jeelani Zargar gave a detailed presentation on apple production in Kashmir, existing transportation arrangements and the economic benefits of using railway goods and freight services for transporting horticulture produce

Apple finally hits a VR home run
Macworld Ive never had a desire to buy a Vision Pro . Even if I had $4,000 to blow at the Apple Store, Id probably pick up a loaded MacBook Pro or a Mac mini with a Studio Display XDR instead of Apples cutting-edge handset. But Friday Night Baseball in Apple Immersive changed my perspective. The first-ever broadcast of a live Major League Baseball game with 3D video recorded in 8K with a 180-degree field of view, watching the Red Sox-Yankees game on the Vision Pro was almost as breathtaking as being at Yankee Stadium. Even if I was able to take screenshots of the experience, it wouldnt have done it justice. Its literally the kind of thing you need to see to believe. Most of the time I was watching the game from just beside the dugout of the team that was batting. I could turn to see the on-deck batter warming up, watch the pitch come in, and see the whole park in front of me. As usual for Apples Friday Night Baseball, the picture quality was outstanding, from the on-field action to the footprints and sunflower seeds in the dirt below my view. Ive visitied many baseball stadiums and sat in all kinds of seats, but nothing compared to the immersive view Apple provided. You can get a sense of it in the post below, but a flat image doesnt really do it justice. While the camera put me inside the stadium, the broadcast still let me know that I was watching Apple TV. Paul Severino and Xavier Scruggs were the dedicated announcers (different from the ones on the Apple TV broadcast), and they often reminded viewers that they were witnessing something special. If I looked up, I could watch the flat Apple TV broadcast and see relevant stats. Live immersive MLB on Apple Vision Pro. It felt like I was at Yankee Stadium. The whole experience was incredible. Shot through the lens with iPhone since it cant be recorded on headset. pic.twitter.com/oF1J9tBTd8 Justin Ryan (@justinryanio) August 29, 2026 There were a few replays that were particularly impressive, including Ben Rices first-inning double that made it feel like I was practically playing left field. I was so close to the action that I could hear muffled chatter in the dugout and see sunflowseeds spit in my direction. Between innings was particularly magical. There were no commercials, so the view stayed in the stadium, with the camera shifting to the broadcast booth above home plate numerous times to get an expansive overhead view of the whole field. And when David Bednar came in to close the ninth inning, the camera view shifted to center field so I could see his full bullpen entrance and watch him jog to the pitchers mound while his walkout song, Styxs Renegade, played in the stadium. It was so enthralling, I wanted a way to mute the broadcast to soak in the sounds of the stadium. It wasnt so much that the announcers were bad (though Apple TV has never been known for its broadcast crew), but the Spatial Audio microphones were so clear that the ambiance of the ballpark was enough. Unfortunately, the game ended 1-0, so there wasnt a ton of action other than a solo home run, but one particular play stands out as a showcase for what the immersive broadcast brings. In the top of the 7th inning, the Red Sox loaded the bases with one out, so I strapped on my Vision Pro to watch the rest of the inning. It only took two pitches to end the Red Sox threat. Wilson Contreras hit a fly ball to left field that was caught by Cody Bellinger, who fired the ball home to get a tagging-up Ceddanne Rafaela and end the inning. Watching the play unfold and turning to watch the throw reach home was incredible and and better than any TV boardcast Ive ever watched. A near homerun As we wrote in our review, Vision Pro is a pretty heavy device, so keeping it strapped on for two-plus hours isnt ideal. I dont have the Dual Knit Band, so that might help, but as it was, I watched the game in spurts. I took it off after the first three innings and then returned to it whenever there was a runner in scoring position. Theres also the issue of eye strain. I have prescription lenses for the Vision Pro, which could exasberate the issue, but my eyes quicky get tired when using Vision Pro. This was compounded by the sheer immersiveness of the picture that didnt give my eyes and time to rest. But Im already looking forward to the next game on Friday between the LA Angels and Pittsburgh Pirates. Its a shame Vision Pro is so expensive, because every baseball fan should get to experience it. Maybe Apple can sell Vision Pro tickets next season and start sell hot dogs at the Apple Store.
