Apple is reportedly building a more affordable, A18 Pro-powered MacBook slated to launch as early as this fall. Given that the entry-level MacBook Air M4 starts at a hefty $999, there’s still scope for a lower-end model that costs less. It would cater to budget-conscious customers whose workflows require more than just an iPad.

Apple fans dying to try the latest iPhone OS have faced a wait longer than expected for the iOS 26 public beta, diverging from Apple’s usually rapid rollout. A near-term release could help ramp up user testing ,

One of the biggest rumors is that Apple will be offering a full-screen display with the iPhone 20. A proper one, with no interruptions to speak of — no notches, no cutouts. The phone would feature just pure screen with all the important stuff hiding away under the surface, including the front camera.

Apple will assemble the iPhone 17 simultaneously in India and China — a major shift from its earlier timeline strategy. Trial production in Tamil Nadu is already underway.

Apple added support for non-WebKit browsers in iOS 17.4 to appease DMA rules that aim to prevent tech giants from disadvantaging third-party browser engines, but the OWA alleges that Apple’s restrictions mean it is “not in effective compliance with the DMA.”

The perception reflected the opinion of more than 8,000 consumers across Europe and shows that while Apple continues to outpace most of the rest of the industry on privacy and security, Samsung over-indexes on durability while Apple seems to score lower than it should.

Gurman observes in his subscriber Q&A that Apple always launches its new iPhones after Labor Day (the first Monday in September for those of us outside the U.S.). Typically, it's the week after, meaning the iPhone 17 series should appear between September 8th and September 12th.
