Apple is reportedly working on a cheaper MacBook, but will it matter?

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2026-03-14 22:21:00

This week, we heard some news from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo about Apple entering a new segment of the laptop market. The company is reportedly working on a new MacBook at a lower starting price point than the MacBook Air, and it’ll apparently pack the A18 Pro chip found in iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. While a cheaper MacBook is certainly a welcome add, the question truly stands: will Apple do it properly, or will it serve as another decoy model? Rumor refresh To quickly recap, the cheaper

Apple’s F1 movie expected to hit $300M at the box office this weekend

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-03-15 01:04:56

Less than two weeks after its release, Apple’s F1 The Movie is about to cross the $300 million mark at the global box office. That puts it more than halfway to topping the combined worldwide grosses of all its previous theatrical runs, and validates its ambitions for big screen releases. On track for a record run During its opening weekend, F1 The Movie is estimated to have taken in about $145 million, which put it on par with the $176 million opening weekend total box office of Killers of the

Here are three reasons why AirPods Pro 2 are still worth picking up in 2025

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2026-03-15 03:28:32

We’re likely going to see yet another version of AirPods Pro this September, alongside the launch of the iPhone 17 lineup. Despite the current set of AirPods Pro coming up on nearly three years old, I don’t think that those in the market to buy new AirPods should necessarily waste their time waiting for a potentially upcoming model. AirPods Pro 2 keep getting better Even though we should get a new pair of AirPods Pro in the coming months, that hasn’t stopped Apple from continually making this

macOS Icon History

news.ycombinator.com Https 2026-03-14 21:25:41

With macOS 26, Apple has announced a dramatically new look to their UI: Liquid Glass. Solid material icon elements give way to softer, shinier, glassier icons. The rounded rectangle became slightly more rounded, and Apple eliminated the ability for icon elements to extend beyond the icon rectangle (as seen in the current icons for GarageBand, Photo Booth, Dictionary, etc.). With this release being one of the most dramatic visual overhauls of macOS's design, I wanted to begin a collection chroni

Sandwiched between the packable Soundlink Flex and the beefy Soundlink Max (9/10, WIRED Recommends), Bose’s new midsize Soundlink Plus (no, these aren’t streaming services) carves out its own niche thanks largely to winning sound with equal parts nuance and bravado.

A rare look inside the durability lab where Apple tortures its products

Apple puts its products through a lot of tests during the development process, intended to ensure they have a long and reliable life even in challenging conditions. The company tests at least 10,000 iPhones prior to launch in an attempt to cover all the bases. It’s not often the iPhone maker lets outsiders into its labs, but Apple invited some of those attending WWDC 2025 to visit one to see for themselves the conditions it expects its gadgets to survive … To be clear, it’s not the first time
