Apple’s M5 chip could continue an unexpected new trend: report

Apple silicon debuted in 2020 with the first M-class chip, the M1, which launched in MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini. But last year, Apple made a big product shift when it launched the M4, and per a new report, that trend looks set to continue with the upcoming M5 chip. M5 MacBook Pro may be delayed until early 2026 Yesterday Mark Gurman published an overview of new Apple products in the works for early 2026 release.

Now That Intel’s Cooked, Apple Doesn’t Need to Release New MacBooks Every Year

Covering tech news, you sometimes feel like the million-mile-per-hour footrace of Silicon Valley will inevitably result in a Wile E. Coyote-style calamity. There’s a part of me that craves a little more sincerity and willingness for self-reflection. When we actually receive it, the result is a little more cringe-worthy. Intel’s new boss, Lip-Bu Tan, reportedly told staff the company was—effectively—cooked. That doesn’t sound great, but for one of Intel’s once-biggest partners, Apple, it may be a

New M4 Vision Pro gives me hope that the most needed fix is coming

A new M4 Vision Pro is reportedly launching later this year, and even though not a lot sounds like it’s changing, I’m cautiously hopeful that the most needed fix might be on the way. New Vision Pro will have M4 chip and all-new strap When Vision Pro first launched in February 2024, I was initially a holdout. The device fascinated me, but I couldn’t justify the price. Eventually I gave in, buying a Vision Pro last December. But ever since then, the weight and existing strap options have been a

Why Buy Flagship Phones if 'Budget' Phones Are Just as Good Now?

The concept of a budget-friendly phone lost its meaning this week when Samsung announced its new Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE costs an eye-watering $900. It's similar in looks and ability to its premium-model sister phone, and it even has the same cameras. Earlier this year, Apple released its more budget-friendly iPhone 16E, which also got jeers for an higher-than-expected price of $600. It carries the same processor as the main iPhone 16, but lacks one rear camera. The cost of phones is expected to co
