What can we expect from Apple’s rumored new 2026 MacBook, with an iPhone processor?

Analyst Ming–Chi Kuo has suggested that Apple plans to launch an all–new MacBook next year, powered by an iPhone processor. Specifically, he expects it to have the A18 Pro chip which currently powers the iPhone 16 Pro line–up. While there’s no word on pricing, the only way the report makes sense is if Apple is targeting an even lower price than the $999 starting–point of the current MacBook Air. Indeed, if you factor in discounted pricing on that, then it would have to be significantly cheaper.

Are software professionals truly an endangered species? It's complicated

islander11/Getty Images Industry eyebrows were raised recently at New York Federal Reserve Bank data showing software engineering graduates face higher unemployment rates than art history majors. The unemployment rates for computer engineering and computer science were 7.5% and 6.7% respectively. By contrast, the unemployment rates for art history and social services majors were 3% and 1.7% respectively. Also: The best AI for coding in 2025 (including a new winner - and what not to use) In a

New proof dramatically compresses space needed for computation

Once upon a time computers filled entire rooms, reading numbers from spinning tapes and churning them through wires to do chains of basic arithmetic. Today they slip into our pockets, performing in a tiny fraction of a second what used to take hours. But even as chips shrink and gain speed, theorists are flipping the question from how much computation space we can pack into a machine to how little is enough to get the job done. This inquiry lies at the heart of computational complexity, a measu

‘Project Hail Mary’s’ First Trailer Takes Us on an Epic Sci-Fi Journey

You wake up, alone, on a ship in the middle of space. Where are you? What are you doing there? Are you forgetting something important? Something like, maybe, the fate of the world is in your hands?

The 9 Best Dyson Vacuums (2025), Tested and Reviewed

What About the PencilVac? Courtesy of Dyson The new Dyson PencilVac promises to be Dyson's slimmest vacuum yet, but it won't be available in the US until sometime in 2026. It launches today in Japan and next week in Korea, but pricing is still to be confirmed. It won't just be Dyson's slimmest vacuum, but also the first vacuum with a conical brush bar cleaner head. It's impressively small, its handle barely reaching 1.5 inches in diameter, with a slim vacuum head below it. Inside that tiny ha

Meet Jim O’Neill, the longevity enthusiast who is now RFK Jr.’s right-hand man

Although much less of a public figure than his new boss, O’Neill is quite well-known in the increasingly well-funded and tight-knit longevity community. His acquaintances include the prominent longevity influencer Bryan Johnson, who describes him as “a soft-spoken, thoughtful, methodical guy,” and the billionaire tech entrepreneur Peter Thiel. In speaking with more than 20 people who work in the longevity field and are familiar with O’Neill, it’s clear that they share a genuine optimism about h

Pixels lack this key calling feature in many markets, but there is a possible solution

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR The GSMA has told Android Authority it could work with Google to broadly enable VoLTE around the world.

This Google Wallet trick is helping me organize all my summer travel

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority If you know me, you know that I love traveling, I enjoy visiting fun places, and I try to be as organized about all of this as I can. That’s why I use the wonderful Wanderlog to plan my trips, but since I don’t pay for the app’s premium sub, I have to manage my reservation documents separately. That’s why every trip gets a folder in Google Drive, and in there go all the PDF files for hotels, museums, expos, concerts, events, and other bookings I’ve planned dur

One UI 8 Watch beta completely overhauls tiles on Galaxy Watch

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority TL;DR The One UI 8 Watch beta has released, and it brings new tile shapes. Many apps also support smaller tiles which can be stacked in pairs on a single screen. Most of these newly shaped tiles belong to Samsung apps, while other developers, including Google, continue to have circular ones. The Galaxy Watch 8 series has already leaked ahead of its expected arrival, and it has a divisive design change. But with changes to its hardware, Samsung is also plann

Apple’s insanely complex App Store terms could point to 20% commission globally

Apple last week announced an insanely complex set of changes to its App Store terms in the EU, and hidden in the small–print is one sign that the company might be reducing its standard commission from 30% to 20%, and that it may make this change globally. If so, it would be the first time the company has ever reduced its 30% cut for all developers, and might go a long way to tackling its legal battles with antitrust regulators around the world … We last week reported on a set of sweeping chang

The best iPhone accessories for 2025

There are often better and cheaper alternatives to Apple’s first-party accessories, but the company’s MagSafe wireless charger is worth considering if you have a new iPhone. Like all other MagSafe accessories, this charging pad uses magnets to attach to the back of the latest iPhones and it’s surprisingly strong. Not only can you safely pick up your handset and use it with the disk still attached, but the iPhone can dangle by the charger’s cord without falling off. (You still probably shouldn’t

Thousands in Norway told they had won life-changing sums in lottery error

A Day Without Internet: I Tried This Digital Detox and Thrived

Would you consider going a day without the internet? I did and I'll tell you why. Better yet, let me paint the picture for you. I stood on a ridge in the Sandia Mountains near Albuquerque, New Mexico, surrounded by pinyon trees and red-barked pines, listening to the trill of dark-eyed juncos jostling through the underbrush. Amid all this beauty, my phone chimed. And chimed again. And buzzed and beeped. A friend sent an Instagram link. Uber Eats offered a discount deal. Target had a coupon for

Android 16 review: Post-hype

Google recently released Android 16, which brings a smattering of new features for Pixel phones, with promises of additional updates down the road. The numbering scheme has not been consistent over the years, and as a result, Android 16 is actually the 36th major release in a lineage that stretches back nearly two decades. In 2008, we didn't fully understand how smartphones would work, so there was a lot of trial and error. In 2025, the formula has been explored every which way. Today's smartpho

Kuo: Apple to release cheaper MacBook powered by iPhone processor

Apple’s current entry-level laptop is the $999 MacBook Air, but analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes Apple is aiming to launch an even more affordable model soon. He writes on X that Apple will go into production in late 2025 or early 2026 on a new MacBook model that will be powered by the A18 Pro chip, rather than an M-series processor. This is the same chip used in the iPhone 16 Pro line. The machine may feature colorful casing options, including silver, pink and yellow. Unfortunately, it isn’t yet

The $25k car is going extinct?

View in browser Issue #353 Sunday, June 29, 2025 Why the $25,000 car is going extinct Can’t find an affordable car anywhere? You’re not the only one. BY MARK DENT In late 2021, Ford released the Maverick, a compact pickup truck. At roughly half the cost and half the weight of the popular F-150, it was meant to be an antidote for excess, and it worked. With a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $19,995 for the base level, the Maverick drew rave reviews from critics and a rush of inte

Touching the back wall of the Apple store

Touching the back wall of the Apple store 23 Jun, 2025 Here's a dumb story. When I was in high school, my friends and I had a game we used to play at the mall: we would go into the Apple store and try to make it to the back wall of the store, touch it, and exit out the front without an Apple staff person talking to us. We were fascinated with the Apple store in the mall because it was essentially an interactive luxury goods store where they'd let you actually grasp all the luxury goods with y

To the Postbox

In the middle of March 1931, Virginia Woolf wrote a polite letter to a woman sixteen years her junior. The recipient, a feminist writer named Winifred Holtby, was embarking on a book-length study of Woolf’s work. ‘I should much prefer that the book should be, as you say written impersonally, from material in the British Museum,’ Woolf wrote. ‘My feeling is that when people are alive, so much personality is bound to creep in, that it is better for the critic to keep aloof as far as possible.’ By
