Apple has reportedly started work on a new MacBook Pro model that is powered by a fourth generation Apple Silicon processor. The Cupertino company launched Mac computers with its M3 chip last year — its first processors built on the firm's 3nm technology that was also used to produce the A17 Pro chip that powers the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. This year's Mac models, including the purported MacBook Pro, are expected to run on the next-generation M4 chip.Bloomberg's Mark Gurman (via…

In the upcoming iOS 18 release, the AirPods Pro might go all-in with helping those who are hard of hearing. A hearing aid mode will reportedly come to the AirPods Pro with the release of iOS 18 later this year, according to Bloomberg’s Power On Newsletter sent out Sunday.

Now that the M3 MacBook Airs are out and available in stores and online, it might be time to take a moment and truly consider what you’re getting before you jam down on that “Purchase” button. It’s easy to recommend Apple’s lightest laptop with either a 13-inch or 15-inch screen. However, even though they’ll perform identically, you still have a fair few options for RAM and memory storage, not to mention the vast difference in price between the cheapest MacBook Air and the most expensive, 15-inch version.The M3 Max…

MacBook Air with M3 13- and 15-InchThe Macbook Air redesign from two years ago is still just as silent, slim, and comfortable as you expect, but you won't see a massive difference from M2.The MacBook Air is a good choice for an ultra-thin, though fully capable laptop, regardless of whether you opt for the 15- or 13-inch design. It's everything you might expect from Apple, but it's not so different from M2 that you should feel the need to switch. What's most concerning is how Apple's MacBook Pro 14 is sitting a little too…

Apple’s lightest laptop, the MacBook Air, is back and powered with the tech giant’s swankiest new silicon. The M3 chip that we’ve seen inside of it’s new MacBook Pro. Gizmodo had a chance to see the new Airs in person, but while the starting $1,099 laptop might look very similar to fans, most of the new you’ll care about is being stuffed underneath the hood.While they look very similar to the 2022 Macbook Air, with all the same colorways you’ve come to expect, you’ll need to boot them up to get the real change. The…

Imagine splurging $3,500 on a new Apple Vision Pro headset only to discover a few weeks later that your very expensive device now has a crack on the front of the screen—one you’re sure isn’t your fault.Hands-On With Meta Quest 3“I had seen Reddit posts the day before and thought people just being dumb, like walking into walls or dropping it. As soon as I took the front protector off, I saw ,” the Redditor u/ funnystone64, who mainly uses the device to watch Apple TV and YouTube videos in Safari, told Gizmodo. “I was…

Qualcomm When I first heard that Apple was putting ARM into its MacBook lineup, I was more than a little skeptical. There’s no way, I thought, that smartphone chips could compete with Intel CPUs, despite Geekbench scores that argued otherwise. Since then, all my assumptions have been proven wrong. And there’s a reason: ARM can be really fast when built the right way and integrated with the OS, and it’s also incredibly efficient. My MacBook Pro 16 with the M3 Max chipset is superfast and lasts me two days between…

The Apple Vision Pro is here and, if social media is to be believed, it’s already creating a new race of goggle-fueled cyborgs. You’ve likely seen videos of people staggering around New York City like digitally transported zombies, the Vision Pro affixed to their faces like Scuba gear on a delirious diver who’s mistakenly crawled up on dry land. So far, people seem to be really enjoying this thing but it’s worth asking whether the device is good for them or is, instead, threatening to send them down a digital rabbit…

Would you want the pilot flying the plane you’re on to stick a gadget on their head that literally obstructs their field of vision? It sounds like a dumb question, but since the Apple Vision Pro headset came out last week, we’ve learned there is no limit to the things people will do for a couple of clicks.Apple's Vision Pro Seems Powerful, But Who Is It For? | Future TechPilot Chris Clarke took clickbait to new heights on Tuesday when he posted a 21-second video of himself on X, formerly known as Twitter, appearing to fly…

The Mac, formerly the more austere Macintosh, turns 40 today, putting Apple’s longest-running product squarely in middle age. But like someone who sees the back half of their life approaching and gets in marathon-runner shape, the Mac is in the strongest place it’s been for decades. From a revenue perspective, Mac sales declined precipitously in 2023, but that came on the heels of four years of growth that was likely the product of pent-up demand for an improved Mac lineup.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErwS24cBZPcIn…
