Apple is rumored to give MacBook Pro users two very different new models to choose from this fall: an M6 MacBook Pro and an all-new MacBook Ultra. Here’s what’s coming.

When Apple unveiled the iPhone 13 back in 2021, it made a huge deal over a headline new feature, Cinematic mode. This is the video equivalent of Portrait mode, allowing you to select a focus point and blur the background.

Portrait mode has improved dramatically in successive generations, but the same cannot be said of Cinematic mode. The company appears to have completely lost interest in the feature, and although that’s understandable in one way, I would argue it’s a big mistake …

Apple has added a host of new products to its official Certified Refurbished Store this week. New M5 MacBook Pro models, the Studio Display XDR, high-end M5 MacBook Air configurations, and more are available.

Apple Watch added hypertension notifications last year, an important and potentially life-saving new feature. And per a recent report, it sounds like watchOS 27 might make them even better.

Apple appears to be testing a forthcoming iOS 26.6.1 update for iPhone users. This comes nearly two weeks after iOS 26.6 was released to the public.

Apple’s fall iPhone event is expected to look different this year. Rather than unveiling four closely related models, rumors point to a flagship-only September lineup consisting of three premium models: iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and Apple’s first foldable, widely expected to be called iPhone Ultra.

iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will be unveiled soon, and rumors point to at least three ways the new models will be even more ‘Pro’ this year.

iOS 27 adds a variety of new features and changes for Apple Wallet, including one that’s been on my wishlist for years: the ability to import physical passes.
