Send us a text!This week:  Apple had a huge week. New M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pros just landed with massive performance gains and surprising efficiency improvements. Apple also introduced the Mac Neo — a $500 Mac that Steve Jobs once said Apple could never build — plus a new Studio Display XDR that might quietly be the most exciting announcement of the bunch. In this episode, I break down everything Apple announced, what's actually impressive, where the compromises are hiding, and which of these new products might really matter going forward.SponsorsNordStellarMost companies only act after a breach.

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss Apple's concentrated week of announcements that saw the introduction of 10 new products.The most significant announcement of the week was the MacBook Neo, an all-new entry-level Apple laptop that starts at $599. The ‌MacBook Neo‌ is designed to compete with lower-cost Windows laptops and Chromebooks, while expanding the Mac lineup with a substantially more affordable option.Unlike every other Apple silicon Mac, the ‌MacBook Neo‌ is powered by the A18 Pro chip originally developed for the iPhone 16 Pro, making it the first Mac to use an iPhone-class processor instead of an M-series chip. The machine features a rounded, colorful design available in Silver, Indigo, Blush, and Citrus finishes, with matching keyboards and wallpapers that give it a more playful appearance than Apple's existing notebooks. At 2.7 pounds, it weighs the same as a MacBook Air.It offers a 13-inch Liquid Retina display with uniform, iPad-style bezels rather than a notch, a Magic Keyboard, a mechanical trackpad, two USB-C ports, 8GB of memory, a headphone jack, a 1080p camera, dual mics, dual speakers with Spatial Audio, and a battery life rated for up to 16 hours.Apple also updated several existing devices with modest specification improvements. The iPhone 17e retains the same design and price as the iPhone 16e but adds the A19 chip, MagSafe support, Apple's second-generation C1X modem, and 256GB of base storage.The 11- and 13-inch iPad Air gained the M4 chip, 12GB of RAM, Wi-Fi 7 support via Apple's N1 wireless chip, and the same C1X modem in cellular models. Meanwhile, the 13- and 15-inch ‌MacBook Air‌ were upgraded with the M5 chip and a higher base storage capacity of 512GB, though the removal of the 256GB option increased the starting price to $1,099.At the high end of the Mac lineup, Apple refreshed the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with the new M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, introducing a "Fusion Architecture" that bonds two 3nmdies together into a single processor. These models also gained faster SSD speeds, higher base storage, and Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 via the N1 chip. Battery life increased slightly across the lineup, while GPU cores now include dedicated Neural Accelerators intended to improve AI workloads.Apple also expanded its display lineup with a new Studio Display XDR model, replacing the Pro Display XDR. The new model offers a 27-inch 5K mini-LED panel with up to a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR brightness up to 2,000 nits, and Thunderbolt 5 connectivity. The standard ‌Studio Display‌ was updated at the same time with two Thunderbolt 5 ports, improved speakers, and a camera that now supports Desk View, but retains its 60Hz panel and 600-nit brightness.All of the newly announced devices became available to pre-order on Wednesday, March 4, with the entire lineup scheduled to launch and begin arriving to customers on Wednesday, March 11.Get the right life insurance for you, for less, and save more than fifty percent at https://www.selectquote.com/macrumors00:00 - Intro01:17 - iPhone 17e06:42 - M4 iPad Air08:46 - M5 MacBook Air11:53 - Sponsor: SelectQuote13:40 - MacBook Pro: M5 Pro and M5 Max Overview21:30 - Studio Display25:58 - Studio Display XDR38:05 - Introducing the MacBook Neo

Apple enchaîne les annonces en ce début mars avec une rafale de nouveautés grand public. Ordinateurs, smartphone d'entrée de gamme et tablette polyvalente : tour d'horizon des produits et de ce qu'ils disent de la stratégie de la marque.MacBook Neo : le Mac “accessible” à 700 €Apple lance le MacBook Neo, un portable 13 pouces au châssis aluminium, pensé pour le grand public et surtout pour les étudiants. Affiché à partir de 700 €, il mise sur une puce A18 Pro (issue de l'univers iPhone) pour privilégier l'efficacité énergétique et une autonomie annoncée autour d'une journée en usage standard.En configuration de base, on trouve 8 Go de RAM et 256 Go de stockage, avec une montée à 512 Go. La connectique reste minimaliste (deux ports USB-C et une prise casque) et certaines fonctions sont réservées aux versions supérieures (comme le Touch ID sur la déclinaison 512 Go, selon les informations évoquées dans l'épisode). Apple met aussi en avant des coloris plus “jeunes”, et une remise étudiante visant clairement le monde de l'éducation.MacBook Air et MacBook Pro : la puce M5 partoutPas de révolution esthétique, mais une mise à jour musclée : le MacBook Air passe à la puce M5, avec des promesses de gains en performances, en graphisme et en traitements liés à l'IA locale, ainsi qu'une réactivité accrue (sortie de veille quasi instantanée, selon Apple). L'appareil conserve son positionnement : ultraportable, silencieux, sans refroidissement mécanique.Sur la gamme pro, les MacBook Pro adoptent les déclinaisons M5 Pro et M5 Max, destinées aux usages intensifs : montage vidéo, 3D, compilation, développement et exécution de modèles d'IA en local. Une tendance de fond se dessine : faire tourner davantage de calculs “sur la machine”, plutôt que d'envoyer systématiquement tout vers le cloud.iPhone 17e : entrée de gamme, mais pas au rabaisApple ajoute un modèle plus abordable à sa gamme avec l'iPhone 17e. Au programme : puce A19, compatibilité MagSafe, connectivités modernisées (5G, Wi-Fi) et un design ajusté (bordures plus fines, nouveau coloris). Surtout, le stockage de base passe à 256 Go, sans hausse de prix annoncée par rapport au modèle précédent, autour de 720 € dans l'épisode.L'angle est clair : un iPhone “d'accès” qui conserve l'essentiel, sans les raffinements photo/vidéo des versions les plus premium, tout en restant prêt pour l'IA embarquée… même si Apple doit encore concrétiser sa promesse sur ce terrain.iPad Air M4 : l'iPad polyvalent se rapproche du ProL'iPad Air évolue lui aussi avec l'arrivée de la puce M4, rapprochant ses performances de celles d'un iPad Pro. Apple maintient sa recette : une tablette “à tout faire”, aussi à l'aise en divertissement qu'en productivité avec clavier et stylet.Deux tailles sont proposées (11 et 13 pouces), avec du Wi-Fi 7 et une option 5G. Le but : couvrir aussi bien l'usage “canapé” que les usages plus sérieux en mobilité, dans la lignée de l'iPad-ordinateur que la marque tente de pousser depuis des années.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Apple lo ha vuelto a hacer. Pero esta vez no ha sido un "más de lo mismo con mejor nota". El 3 de marzo de 2026 presentó los chips M5 Pro y M5 Max integrados en los nuevos MacBook Pro, y lo que hay dentro es el cambio de arquitectura más importante desde que llegó el M1. No hablamos de más núcleos ni de un proceso de fabricación más fino. Hablamos de repensar desde cero cómo se construye un chip. En este episodio desmontamos la Fusion Architecture pieza a pieza: qué es un die, por qué dividirlo en dos cambia las reglas del juego, qué implica para la disipación térmica, para la fabricación y para el futuro de Apple Silicon. Hablamos de los Neural Accelerators integrados en cada núcleo GPU, del aumento del ancho de banda del Neural Engine, de los 614 GB/s de memoria del M5 Max y de por qué eso importa más que los GHz cuando hablamos de inteligencia artificial en local. Y hacemos la comparativa con NVIDIA que todo el mundo hace pero casi nadie hace bien: CUDA vs MLX, H100 vs M5 Max, datacenter vs mochila. Sin banderas. Con números reales.

Segundo día y Apple pisa el acelerador dando todo lo que podríamos esperar. Te lo cuento en este capítulo 2926.Si te gustan los temas de Emilcar Daily, Weekly te va a encantar.

Alles over het Apple-voorjaarsoffensief in deze aflevering van die Bright Podcast. We bellen met Erwin die er in Londen bij is, en bespreken alles van de nieuwe MacBook Neo, maar ook de upgrades voor de MacBook Air en MacBook Pro. En natuurlijk de iPhone 17e, de vernieuwde iPad Airen de nieuwe Studio Displays. Verder in deze aflevering: de meest opvallende dingen van Mobile World Congress, onze grote accutest-test, het einde van de budget-pc en het de Odido-hack wordt er maar niet beter op. Sponsor: Check de TechControl videoserie van LVNL en ontdek de technische wereld achter ons vliegverkeer. Ga naar komwerkenbijlvnl.nl/techcontrol Tips uit deze aflevering: Gadget: R36S of vergelijkbare, betaalbare retro-handhelds. Tim ontdekte die van hem opnieuw tijdens het opruimen. Met de zomer in aantocht een leuke gadget voor op het strand, want met die lage prijzen en groot game-aanbod kun je je geen buil vallen. Op allebei sites voor een paar tientjes te vinden. App: HazeOver, een Mac-app waarmee je alle achterliggende vensters een donkerder tintje kan geven. Daarmee wordt het duidelijker wat het actieve venster is en dan weet je ineens dat je dat miste. Standaard staat ie op 35 procent dimmen van niet-actieve vensters, je kan dat gelukkig zelf aanpassen want dat is nogal fors. Kost 6 euro en blijkbaar is dat de prijs die je neertelt voor het fixen van Apple’s interface-problemen. Bright: We hebben sinds vorige week eigen verticale video's op Bright. Geen TikTok, Instagram of Shorts, maar gewoon bij Bright zelf naar shorts kijken. Nu nog in bèta voor de Bright++-abonnee, later voor iedereen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The hosts preview an upcoming Patreon episode about self-hosted, locally run AI for clients who want AI-powered editing without sending sensitive content to cloud services like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude. Jerry describes setting up a local AI system for a client to refresh medically based academic writings while keeping privacy, noting most of the solution was free aside from the computer, and contrasts this with internet-connected autonomous AI bots that require credentials and could be influenced by other bots online. The conversation broadens into Patreon topics about business operations, client attrition and return, and discussing sensitive client situations more freely.   They discuss hardware and product preferences, including choosing iPhone models (with repeated recommendations for an iPhone Pro), interest in a MacBook with built-in cellular to avoid carrier hotspot throttling, and debates about MacBook Pro battery life versus MacBook Air. Sam explains he switched work email to Outlook on Mac and iPhone due to Apple Mail reliability issues and to better separate work from personal notifications, while others compare Apple Mail smart mailboxes to Outlook's saved searches and discuss organizing workflows with smart folders and flags.   Sam recounts testing whether an iPad could serve as a second travel workstation for a client who relies on an on-prem Mac server (SMB file sharing and FileMaker Server). They run into clunky SMB workflows in iPad Files/Word, inability to favorite deep SMB paths, OneDrive-first behavior in Word, and a FileMaker version mismatch where an older iPad (limited to iOS 16) can't connect to the newer FileMaker server. They consider shortcuts like web clips but conclude a second MacBook would be simpler.   The episode also covers a bug on iOS/macOS 26 where Microsoft 365 accounts in Apple's native Internet Accounts setup appear authenticated but don't actually work, leading them to use Outlook as a workaround and consider resetting MFA/credentials. They close with a story about extending the usability of a 10-year-old MacBook Pro by installing Firefox ESR, and discuss typical Mac lifespan expectations and guidance for clients on replacement timelines.   00:00 Self‑Hosted AI Teaser: Keeping Client Content Private 02:20 Wild West AI Agents: Credentials, Bot Networks & Security Risks 03:34 On‑Prem vs Cloud (and Why VPN Matters) 05:19 Patreon Plug: Business Ops, Client Attrition & "Juicy Stories" 08:16 iPhone Upgrade Debate: Pro vs Air, Foldables & Pro Cameras 09:04 Dream MacBook Features: Built‑In Cellular, OLED & Battery Life 15:42 Switching Mail Clients: Outlook for Work, Sanity on iPhone 18:28 Email Overload & Smart Mailboxes: Apple Mail vs Outlook Searches 26:56 iPad as a Work Device?

Apple's dropping a wave of new products this week — and Tom and Jeff break down everything that's expected: a budget MacBook starting around $600, an iPhone 16E follow-up, iPad updates for the non-Pro models, and possible MacBook Pro upgrades with M5 Pro and Max chips. It's a preview packed with speculation, opinions, and the occasional tangent about fingerprints on laptop screens.Then things get analog. Tom just joined Jeff in the Field Notes notebook club, and they talk about why a pocket-sized paper notebook has become a surprisingly useful tool alongside all the digital gear. They also cover two weather apps worth knowing about — Acme Weather (from the Dark Sky team) and what's new in Carrot Weather 6.4.Enjoy the show?

Chris breaks down the backlash to Ring's Super Bowl “Search Party” ad, which aimed to help find lost pets but reignited privacy concerns over AI-powered neighborhood surveillance. He also explores the surge of AI-themed Super Bowl ads, Apple's delayed Siri overhaul, rising DDR5 RAM prices driven by AI demand, SpaceX's Crew-12 launch, and the record-breaking sale of a rare Pokémon card. -Want to be a Guest on a Podcast or YouTube Channel?

Like and Follow Geek News Central’s Facebook Page. Support my Show Sponsor: Best Godaddy Promo Codes Get 1Password Full Summary – Main story — Ring Search Party: Chris summarizes Ring's first Super Bowl ad (viewed by “over 120 million”) which promoted “Search Party,” a feature that lets users upload a photo of a missing pet and alerts neighborhood Ring cameras if they spot it. He explains the ad was intended as wholesome but provoked fast backlash: viewers and privacy advocates (including the ACLU and lawmakers) warned the tech could be repurposed to track people. Chris recounts Ring's prior controversies (police partnerships, an FTC settlement in 2023 over employee access to videos) and says the ad brought those issues back into focus. He reports that four days after the ad, Amazon canceled a planned integration with Flock Safety (Amazon called it a resources-and-timing decision). He notes Search Party is opt-in for pets but emphasizes the potential scale of surveillance when aggregated across millions of Ring devices and that the underlying AI capability isn't going away. – Super Bowl AI ads and Anthropic vs. OpenAI: Chris says AI-related ads made up about 23% of Super Bowl commercials. He describes Anthropic's debut ads (titles like “betrayal, deception, treachery, and violation”) positioning Claude as ad-free for paying users and taking a shot at OpenAI's ad plans; Sam Altman criticized those ads as dishonest. He mentions Svedka ran a primarily AI-generated Super Bowl ad and that Anthropic saw a ~6.5% traffic jump and an ~11% rise in daily active users after the game. Chris frames the ads as a sign the AI assistant wars have moved to mainstream consumer marketing and raises the question of whether AI assistants will be ad-supported or paid/ad-free. – Sponsor spot: A lengthy GoDaddy sponsorship read with pricing and offers: economy hosting $6.99/month for a year with free domain, email, and SSL; WordPress hosting $12.99/month with same inclusions; domain names $11.99; GoDaddy website builder offers a 30-day free trial for certain plans. Chris urges listeners to use the provided promo links to support the show. – Apple March 4 event and Siri delay: Chris reports Apple confirmed a March 4 product launch (iPhone 17e, MacBook Pros with M5 Pro and M5 Max, an 8th-gen iPad Air and a 12th-gen iPad). He says the AI-powered Siri overhaul planned for iOS 26.4 hit testing snags and some features were pushed to iOS 26.5 in May and iOS 27 in September. He notes Apple claims Siri improvements are still coming in 2026 but have been repeatedly delayed, and frames Apple as focusing on hardware and on-device processing. – DDR5 RAM price surge: Chris covers a global memory shortage driven by AI data-center demand. He explains manufacturers shifted production to high-bandwidth AI memory with much higher margins, reducing consumer DDR supply and forcing adoption of DDR5. He gives figures: DDR5 64 GB kits rose from around $200 in mid-2025 to over $1,000 (a ~300% increase across six months, with another ~50% spike in the last month). He says inventories have fallen to about eight weeks and analysts don't expect meaningful relief until late 2027 or 2028. He warns PC builders and buyers to brace for higher upgrade and system prices. – SpaceX Crew-12 launch: Chris recounts NASA Crew-12 as a replacement following an earlier medical evacuation that left ISS short-staffed. He reports SpaceX launched four astronauts on Feb. 13 aboard a Falcon 9 with the Dragon capsule Freedom (liftoff at 5:15 AM EST) and docked on Valentine's Day. Crew named: NASA commander Jessica Mayer, NASA pilot Jack Hathaway, ESA mission specialist Sophie Adadott, and Russian cosmonaut Andrei (Andrei Fedoo/Fedu — host stumbles on the name). The mission is planned for eight months; the Falcon 9 first stage landed back at pad 40. Chris frames the launch as good news and notes ongoing reliance on SpaceX. – Pokémon card/collectibles auction: Chris discusses a record trading-card sale. He refers to Logan Paul and the Pikachu Illustrator card (one of 39 ever made). He mentions earlier reports of card sales (at first saying a card sold for “like six and a half million dollars,” then later saying Logan Paul sold one for “sixteen point five million dollars”) and then details a live auction via Golden in which the card sold for “sixty million four hundred ninety two thousand dollars,” called a new Guinness World Record for the most expensive trading card sold at auction. Chris notes Logan Paul bought his PSA 10 card in 2021 for $5.2M, the auction had about 97 bids, and the buyer was venture capitalist Adrien Scaramucci (who had the card placed on a $75,000 diamond necklace). Chris comments on collectors vs. investors, how wealthy buyers and influencers can drive pricing, and cautions that most fans shouldn't expect to find such returns.

What about that? (HOW TO FIGURE OUT WHO GETS THE REFUND) --- Estimate that $175B tariffs have been collected alreay - A group of 22 U.S. Senate Democrats on Monday introduced legislation that would require President Donald Trump's administration to fully refund within 180 days all of the revenue, with interest, collected from tariffs struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court. - The legislation would require the Customs and Border Protection agency, which collects tariffs at U.S. ports of entry, to prioritize small businesses. - The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency said it will halt collections of tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act at 12:01 a.m. EST (0501 GMT) on Tuesday Stop The Presses - After years of JCD's rants....... - Apple will soon introduce MacBooks with touch screens - Apple Inc.'s initial touch Macs will have the Dynamic Island at the center top of the display and OLED screen technology. The new MacBook Pro models will have a refreshed, dynamic user interface that can shift between being optimized for touch or point-and-click input. Europe Reacts - "The current situation is not conducive to delivering 'fair, balanced, and mutually beneficial' transatlantic trade and investment, as agreed to by both sides" in the joint statement setting out the terms of last year's trade agreement, the Commission said. "A deal is a deal." - All active discussions are halted on any USA/Europe trade deal The Potential Winners - Brazil and China may be the winners here - Chinese President Xi Jinping has a boost in bargaining power after the US Supreme Court invalidated Donald Trump's broad emergency tariffs, a key point of leverage over China. - The removal of tariff threats will make it harder for Trump to press Xi for larger purchases of certain products and leaves him without a key weapon to strike back if Chinese negotiators make fresh demands. - Xi's team will likely push harder for access to advanced semiconductors, the removal of trade restrictions on Chinese companies, and reduced US support for self-ruled Taiwan, according to Wu Xinbo, director at Fudan University's Center for American Studies.
