An affordable MacBook powered by the iPhone's A18 Pro chip could launch later this year for $600, according to a report from Taiwanese publication DigiTimes on Monday. The latest report corroborates a note by prominent industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo from last month that said Apple was working on a new MacBook Air powered by that processor. A $600 price point would be a significant step for Apple's attempt to break into the affordable computing space. The report does give a range, however. While

Siri's New Features May Include Adding Voice Controls to Apps

Apple is testing new features for its Siri assistant with popular apps -- including Uber, Facebook and YouTube -- that would make it possible to use third-party app features with voice commands, according to a report from Bloomberg. The testing is being done with the goal of releasing a revamped Siri in the spring of 2026 that uses Apple's App Intents to expand what Siri can do outside of Apple's own OS and first-party apps.

Apple's AirPods Pro 2 are back on sale for $169

They might be nearly three years old at this point, but Apple’s second-generation AirPods Pro remain some of the most popular wireless earbuds around for a reason, and right now they’re down to $169 on Amazon. That’s a not-insignificant 32 percent off the usual $249 price of the noise-canceling in-ears. Apple’s flagship AirPods were $100 off — a record-low $149 — during Prime Day, so we have seen them even cheaper than this, but for a non-sale period, Amazon’s current deal is worth considering.
