Esta semana Apple tuvo tres días completos de lanzamientos y el resultado es impresionante:

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 has launched a more affordable laptop and phone If you spend a lot of your day on email, browsing the web, or in docs and spreadsheets, this is the machine for you. Designed for the 'everyday' type activities, the Macbook Neo is competing with lower-end Chromebooks and Windows PCs. It does come in one the high side of that market but has a premium feel with its all-aluminium design. This is the first time Apple has used one of its phone chips in a MacBook. It is able to connect to an external display, has two USB-C ports, and a headphone jack. There are two models – one with TouchID and one without. The only drawback is that it's missing a backlit keyboard. It comes in silver, black, and two fun colours and starts at $NZ1,149. They also launched the iPhone 17e Slightly smaller than the iPhone 17, it is missing the wide-angle lens, the 'dynamic island', and 'center stage' feature which keeps you in frame on video calls. But it does have industry leading features like the satellite SOS mode, MagSafe, and 4K video. It starts at $NZ1,199 – $500 less than the 17, $1,150 less than the 17 Pro. Anthropic has been designated a Supply Chain Risk As we talked about last week, the beef with the DOD/W has turned into the designation. But it's narrower than the department was alluding to last week – it's only preventing Anthropic from working with companies specifically in their work with the Pentagon, rather than a blanket ban across all departments. Anthropic is taking this to court. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

MacBook Neo cuesta 599 dólares y usa chip A18 Pro en apuesta educativa masivaPor Félix Riaño @LocutorCoApple presentó el MacBook Neo como su portátil más económico. Parte desde 599 dólares y 499 dólares para estudiantes. Usa el chip A18 Pro del iPhone y promete hasta 16 horas de batería. Llega con 8 GB de memoria y 256 GB de almacenamiento. La pregunta es: ¿es una ganga real o un anzuelo para entrar al ecosistema?Apple decidió entrar de frente al terreno de los portátiles de 599 dólares. Lo hizo con el nuevo MacBook Neo. Es un equipo de 13 pulgadas, con pantalla Liquid Retina de 2.408 por 1.506 píxeles y brillo de 500 nits. Pesa 1,2 kilogramos y mide 1,27 centímetros de grosor. Tiene dos puertos USB-C, con una diferencia incómoda: uno es USB 3 de hasta 10 gigabits por segundo y el otro es USB 2 de 480 megabits por segundo.El procesador es el A18 Pro, el mismo que usa el iPhone 16 Pro. Viene con 8 GB de memoria unificada y 256 GB de almacenamiento en su versión base. La batería promete hasta 16 horas de reproducción de video y 11 horas de navegación web. El precio oficial es 599 dólares, y con descuento educativo baja a 499 dólares.Apple afirma que es hasta 50 por ciento más rápido en tareas cotidianas que el portátil más vendido con Intel Core Ultra 5, según pruebas con el benchmark Speedometer. Pero aquí viene la pregunta: ¿estamos ante un nuevo estándar de valor o ante un Mac recortado con buen marketing?Un Mac accesible… con recortesApple no solía competir en esta franja. El MacBook Air más reciente con chip M5 parte desde 1.099 dólares. El salto hasta 599 dólares es grande. La diferencia son 500 dólares. Eso cambia el público. Ahora hablamos de estudiantes, familias y personas que antes miraban un Chromebook o un portátil con Windows.El MacBook Neo mantiene el chasis de aluminio. Se siente como un Mac. Viene en colores como Citrus, Blush, Indigo y plata. Esa decisión recuerda al iBook G3 de principios de los años 2000. Apple está enviando un mensaje: este es el Mac juvenil.La pantalla conserva buena resolución y brillo. Tiene cámara de 1080p. Tiene altavoces con Dolby Atmos. Pero empiezan los ajustes: el teclado no tiene retroiluminación. El trackpad es mecánico, no háptico. Solo admite un monitor externo en 4K a 60 hercios. No tiene puerto MagSafe. Y el Touch ID solo aparece en el modelo de 512 GB que cuesta 699 dólares.Apple no está escondiendo que hubo concesiones. Está diciendo que el precio lo justifica. ¿Te parece suficiente?Aquí está el punto delicado. El MacBook Neo usa un chip de iPhone, no un chip de la serie M. Eso rompe la lógica que Apple venía construyendo desde 2020, cuando migró todos sus Mac a Apple Silicon con arquitectura pensada para computadores.El A18 Pro tiene seis núcleos de CPU. Dos de alto rendimiento y cuatro de eficiencia. Tiene cinco núcleos de GPU y soporte para trazado de rayos. En tareas ligeras como navegar, escribir y ver video, va a rendir bien. Pero en edición de video 4K, en modelado 3D o en grandes proyectos de programación, puede quedarse corto frente a un MacBook Air con chip M.Además, los 8 GB de memoria son el límite. No hay opción de 16 GB. En 2026, muchos usuarios ya consideran 8 GB como el mínimo justo. Si abres muchas pestañas, videollamadas y apps al mismo tiempo, vas a notar presión en el sistema.Otro detalle: solo uno de los puertos USB-C es USB 3. El otro es USB 2. Eso significa que puedes conectar un monitor o tener transferencia rápida, pero no todo a la vez con la misma velocidad. Para un equipo pensado para estudiantes, puede ser suficiente. Para alguien que quiere crecer con el equipo, puede sentirse limitado.Entonces surge la duda real: ¿es una puerta de entrada inteligente o una forma de segmentar más el mercado para empujar después al usuario hacia modelos más caros?Apple no improvisó este movimiento. El mercado de portátiles económicos estaba dominado por Chromebook y por equipos Windows de menos de 700 dólares. Muchos de ellos ofrecen buena batería y rendimiento aceptable. Lo que Apple aporta aquí es construcción premium, integración con iPhone y acceso completo a macOS Tahoe.El MacBook Neo permite copiar y pegar entre iPhone y Mac. Permite usar apps del ecosistema. Está preparado para Apple Intelligence. Eso significa que Apple quiere que el usuario joven entre al ecosistema temprano y luego, cuando necesite más potencia, suba a un Air o a un Pro.Desde el punto de vista estratégico, tiene lógica. Desde el punto de vista técnico, hay límites claros. Si eres estudiante que escribe, navega y hace trabajos en la nube, este equipo puede ser suficiente durante varios años. Si eres creador de contenido, diseñador o desarrollador exigente, probablemente vas a necesitar un modelo con chip M y más memoria.El precio de 599 dólares lo convierte en el Mac más accesible de la historia en lanzamiento oficial. Eso cambia la conversación. Pero también redefine qué entendemos por “Mac completo”.La decisión final no es emocional. Es práctica. ¿Qué vas a hacer con él todos los días?El lanzamiento ocurrió junto a otros anuncios como el iPhone 17e y los nuevos MacBook Pro con chip M5 Pro y M5 Max. El contraste es fuerte. Mientras el Neo baja a 599 dólares, el MacBook Pro de 16 pulgadas puede superar los 7.000 dólares en configuraciones altas.El Neo pesa 1,2 kilogramos. Es el mismo peso que el MacBook Air. Su batería es de 36,5 vatios hora. Apple afirma hasta 16 horas de video. Esa cifra suele medirse en condiciones controladas, con brillo moderado y aplicaciones optimizadas. En uso real puede variar.En Reino Unido y la Unión Europea, el cargador no viene incluido en la caja. Solo el cable USB-C. En Estados Unidos sí incluye adaptador de 20 vatios. Ese detalle reduce costos logísticos y ambientales, pero también puede generar molestias.El descuento educativo baja el precio a 499 dólares. Eso lo pone en territorio de iPad Air. Apple está compitiendo contra su propio catálogo. Si alguien duda entre un iPad con teclado y un MacBook Neo, ahora la diferencia es menor.Y algo más: solo soporta un monitor externo. Para quien usa dos pantallas, esto es un límite concreto. No es un detalle menor.Todo esto configura un producto atractivo, pero muy medido. Apple calculó cada concesión.El MacBook Neo abre la puerta de entrada al ecosistema Mac desde 599 dólares. Ofrece buen diseño y rendimiento suficiente para tareas básicas. Tiene límites claros en memoria y puertos. Antes de comprar, revisa qué uso real le vas a dar.Cuéntame qué opinas y sígueme en Flash Diario.Resumen para TikTok (20 palabras)MacBook Neo cuesta 599 dólares, usa chip de iPhone y apunta a estudiantes. Buen precio, pero con límites claros.BibliografíaWallpaperWiredThe TelegraphTechRadarMacRumorsPCMagMacworldCreative BloqConviértete en un supporter de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/flash-diario-de-el-siglo-21-es-hoy--5835407/support.Apoya el Flash Diario y escúchalo sin publicidad en el Club de Supporters.

The MacVoices Live! panel continues to examine Apple's latest hardware news. This time,Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Marty Jencius, Jeff Gamet, Eric Bolden, Web Bixby, and Jim Rea examine the refreshed Studio XDR display, an M4 iPad Air update, and the iPhone 17e. The crew debates whether premium displays justify their cost, why “pro” products struggle with mainstream perception, and how the iPad Air fits real workflows. They also praise the 17e's value, especially MagSafe and higher base storage, and speculate that rising base specs may be preparing for a smarter Siri.  This edition of MacVoices is supported by MacVoices Magazine, our free magazine on Flipboard.

Apple heeft vandaag een opvallend goedkope laptop gepresenteerd: de MacBook Neo, vanaf 699 euro. Dat is een primeur, want nog nooit bracht Apple een MacBook uit onder de duizend euro. In plaats van een M-chip, zoals in de MacBook Air en Pro, gebruikt de Neo de A18 Pro uit de iPhone 16 Pro. Voor 699 euro krijg je een 13 inch laptop met 8GB werkgeheugen en 256GB opslag. De 512GB-versie kost 799 euro en krijgt ook TouchID in het toetsenbord. Wie inlevert op prijs, levert ook in op specs. MagSafe, Thunderbolt en toetsenbordverlichting ontbreken. Er zitten twee usb-c-poorten op, er wordt geen lader meegeleverd en de accuduur van 16 uur ligt iets lager dan de 18 uur van de MacBook Air. Het toestel is er in vier kleuren: zilver, indigo, roze en citrusgroen. Apple mikt duidelijk op studenten en scholieren, het segment waar Chromebooks en betaalbare Windows-laptops tot nu toe domineren. Opvallende timing ook: techproducten worden de komende tijd naar verwachting juist duurder, door krapte op de markt voor geheugenchips. De MacBook Neo is vandaag te bestellen en wordt vanaf 11 maart geleverd. BNR test hem binnenkort mogelijk ook in De Schaal van Hebben. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Apple's iPhone 17E and new iPad Air are here, bringing more affordable high-performance options with Apple Intelligence support, enhanced durability, and smart new features for blind and low-vision users. Steven Scott and Shaun Preece dive into the big Apple announcements: the iPhone 17E with the A19 chip, 48MP camera, MagSafe support, and doubled base storage at 256GB. They discuss which features blind users will value most, including satellite safety, faster connectivity, and Apple Intelligence on-device. They also break down what you lose compared to the standard iPhone 17—like ProMotion and thread support. The episode then touches on the new iPad Air with M4 chip, iPad use cases for families, and missing features like multiple user profiles. The hosts also explore Google Home's new live camera search and discuss blind employment challenges, inspiring listener letters from around the world, and even unique careers for blind professionals.

Apple presenta el iPhone 17e con 256 GB, chip A19, cámara de 48 MP y precio sin aumentoPor Félix Riaño @LocutorCoApple acaba de presentar el iPhone 17e. Es la versión más accesible de la familia iPhone 17. Va a costar 599 dólares en Estados Unidos y 719 euros en Europa. Va a traer 256 gigabytes de almacenamiento desde el modelo básico. Eso es el doble que el modelo anterior al mismo precio. Incluye el nuevo chip A19, el módem C1X diseñado por Apple y una cámara de 48 megapíxeles con zoom 2x en calidad óptica. También suma MagSafe, carga inalámbrica de hasta 15 vatios y funciones satelitales para emergencias. Las reservas van a comenzar el 4 de marzo y la venta en tiendas va a arrancar el 11 de marzo. La pregunta es sencilla: ¿es una ganga real o es el mínimo necesario para competir en 2026?Pero hay detalles que cambian la conversaciónApple decidió mantener el precio de 599 dólares y duplicar el almacenamiento base. Pasar de 128 a 256 gigabytes puede sonar técnico, pero en la práctica significa más espacio para miles de fotos en alta resolución y horas de video en 4K. El chip A19 está fabricado con tecnología de 3 nanómetros. Eso quiere decir transistores más pequeños y más eficientes. Apple promete hasta el doble de velocidad frente al iPhone 11, que salió en 2019. También integra el nuevo módem C1X, que según Apple es hasta dos veces más rápido que el C1 del iPhone 16e y consume 30 % menos energía que el del iPhone 16 Pro. La pantalla mantiene las 6,1 pulgadas con tecnología OLED y un brillo máximo de 1.200 nits en HDR. Y sí, ahora el modelo “e” por fin incluye MagSafe.Aquí viene la parte incómoda. El iPhone 17e sigue teniendo una sola cámara trasera. Es un sensor de 48 megapíxeles que permite un recorte para lograr un zoom 2x con calidad óptica. Funciona bien en teoría, pero no es un teleobjetivo dedicado. Otros fabricantes en este rango de precio ofrecen dos o tres cámaras físicas. Además, el diseño prácticamente no cambia frente al 16e. En Europa cuesta 719 euros. En Alemania se habla incluso de 699 euros según algunos medios. Eso lo pone en competencia directa con equipos Android que ofrecen pantallas de 120 hercios, varias cámaras y baterías más grandes. Apple apuesta por su ecosistema, por Apple Intelligence y por la integración con iOS 26. La duda es si eso basta para quien compara especificaciones fríamente.Apple está jugando una estrategia muy calculada. Mantener el precio y subir la memoria es un mensaje potente en un año donde los costos de componentes están subiendo. Además, integrar el A19 significa que este modelo económico va a recibir funciones de Apple Intelligence, como traducción en tiempo real en Mensajes y FaceTime, filtros de llamadas desconocidas y herramientas de edición con inteligencia artificial. También incluye funciones satelitales para emergencias durante dos años desde la activación. Eso puede marcar diferencia para quienes viajan o viven en zonas rurales.El iPhone 17e va a estar disponible en más de 70 países desde el 11 de marzo. Colores: negro, blanco y rosa suave. Apple también va a ofrecer planes de pago mensuales y descuentos por entregar modelos antiguos. En Estados Unidos, cambiar un iPhone 13 puede dar hasta 599 dólares de crédito con operador. Con Apple Trade In, el crédito puede llegar a 195 dólares. La estrategia es clara: facilitar el salto al nuevo modelo sin tocar la etiqueta principal de precio.Este lanzamiento forma parte de una semana intensa para Apple. También presentó el nuevo iPad Air con chip M4. Ese modelo mantiene precios de 599 dólares para 11 pulgadas y 799 dólares para 13 pulgadas. Apple está reforzando su gama media. Según CNBC, el iPhone 17e es importante para competir en mercados sensibles al precio frente a Samsung, Google y fabricantes chinos.El 17e incluye resistencia al agua y polvo con certificación IP68, que permite inmersión hasta 6 metros durante 30 minutos en condiciones de laboratorio. La carga rápida por USB-C puede llevar la batería al 50 % en unos 30 minutos con adaptador de 20 vatios o superior. El vidrio Ceramic Shield 2 promete tres veces más resistencia a rayones frente a la generación anterior.También hay un ángulo ambiental. El dispositivo usa 30 % de materiales reciclados, 85 % de aluminio reciclado en la carcasa y 100 % de cobalto reciclado en la batería. La fabricación emplea 55 % de electricidad renovable en la cadena de suministro. Apple quiere avanzar hacia su meta de neutralidad de carbono para 2030.El iPhone 17e mantiene el precio y duplica la memoria. Mejora potencia y suma MagSafe. Tiene límites en cámara y diseño. ¿Vale la pena para ti?

Earlier this week, Apple today a "special Apple Experience" for the media in New York, London, and Shanghai, taking place on March 4, 2026 at 9:00am ET. It is notable that Apple is specifically using the word "experience," rather than "event." Unlike a full live-streamed event from Apple Park, the March 4 event in other cities is likely to be smaller in scale.The launch of several new Apple products is believed to be imminent. We're most likely to see the announcement of the iPhone 17e, a spec-bumped successor to the iPhone 16e, with rumored upgrades including an A19 chip, MagSafe, and Apple's C1X and N1 wireless chips. The device will apparently have a notch despite earlier rumors mentioning a Dynamic Island, and pricing will continue to start at $599 in the United States.The all-new low-cost MacBook is likely to arrive, featuring the A18 Pro chip, a 12.9-inch display, and a selection of fun color options. The MacBook Pro is also expected to receive the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, and PCIe 5.0 support for faster SSD speeds.Additionally, the iPad Air is due a bump up to the M4 chip, while the entry-level iPad is expected to get the A18 chip with Apple Intelligence support.A refreshed MacBook Air, Mac Studio, and Studio Display are also possibilities, along with a new Apple TV and HomePod mini. The event could could include a demo of immersive Formula 1 content on the Apple Vision Pro, too.We also discuss iOS 26.4, which is now available in beta. The update includes a new Playlist Playground feature that lets users create a playlist with a text-based prompt, refinements to Apple Music's design, videos in Apple Podcasts, end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for ‌RCS‌ messages, and more.Ready to tackle bigger problems?

Jack and Steven are back to talk about Super Bowl LX (and opinions on the halftime show), the Winter Olympics going on right now, Discord now requiring a face scan or ID, iPhone 18 switching from USB-C to Magsafe, and a study that shows writing in half-print, half-cursive is common among serial killers... suuurreeee. Also Steven hates sodas apparently.

David and Nilay discuss which is the right answer, why so many people don't want to trust tech companies, and why Ring might not care much about the difference.

We discuss the upcoming iPhone 17e and iPad models, as well as Apple's apparent issues finalizing the revamped version of Siri, on this week's episode of The MacRumors Show.The announcement of the ‌iPhone‌ 17e is said to be “imminent," with stock of the iPhone 16e now dwindling. The new device is rumored to come with four main new features, including the A19 chip from the iPhone 17, MagSafe connectivity, the C1X cellular modem, and the N1 chip for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Thread connectivity.New iPads are also on the horizon for the near future. The eighth-generation iPad Air is expected to move to the M4 chip, while the 12th-generation ‌iPad‌ is expected to jump a chip generation up to the A18, which will also enable Apple Intelligence support for the first time on the device.This week's biggest story was the news that Apple has again “run into snags" testing the personalized, smarter version of ‌Siri‌ originally planned for iOS 26.4. Due to the issues, the upcoming ‌Siri‌ features will likely be partially delayed and spread across several upcoming iOS releases. Apple could postpone some or all of the new ‌Siri‌ features until iOS 26.5, an update planned for May, and iOS 27, which will launch this September.Apple announced a significantly upgraded version of ‌Siri‌ powered by ‌Apple Intelligence‌ at its 2024 Worldwide Developers Conference, and they were originally supposed to be part of iOS 18. The following spring, Apple announced that the new ‌Siri‌ would take longer than expected, with the functionality delayed for a year.Since then, Apple has ostensibly been targeting iOS 26.4, which the company will begin beta testing later this month, but there have apparently been unforeseen problems: ‌Siri‌ sometimes doesn't properly process queries and can take too long to respond to requests.Apple engineers have been told to use iOS 26.5 for further internal testing, suggesting the new ‌Siri‌ features will be delayed until that update. Employees that are testing iOS 26.5 say the update includes all of the features Apple promised, including personalization, onscreen awareness, and the ability for ‌Siri‌ to do more in and between apps, but not all of the features are working reliably and there are problems with accuracy.‌Siri‌ also apparently sometimes falls back on using ChatGPT for information instead of relying on the Gemini-powered technology that Apple has partnered with Google to use, even when the new version of ‌Siri‌ is capable of handling a user's request.Apple also planned to include features that haven't yet been announced, such as options to generate images with Image Playground or search the web. Image generation and web search were tested as part of iOS 26.4, and it's possible they will still be included in the update, so Apple might still be able to release some of the new ‌Siri‌ functionality. Bloomberg says the situation is "fluid," though, so Apple's plans could change, and executives are reluctant to further delay the ‌Siri‌ functionality beyond spring 2026.There are still major changes planned for ‌Siri‌ as part of iOS 27, with Apple aiming to add chatbot functionality to better compete with the likes of like Gemini and ChatGPT. This new version of ‌Siri‌ will also reportedly have deeper integration with apps and Apple's operating systems.Start your business with Shopify and get everything you need to sell online and in person.

El iPhone 17e usará el mismo procesador A19 estrenado en la serie iPhone 17, lo que mejora rendimiento y soporte futuro de funciones como Apple Intelligence. Por primera vez en la gama “e” tendrá carga magnética MagSafe, ausente en los modelos baratos anteriores. Además, integrará un módem propio C1X para conectividad celular y un chip N1 para Bluetooth, Wi‑Fi y Thread, ampliando así las capacidades inalámbricas. Mantendrá el precio de 599 dólares como el iPhone 16e, y Apple planea impulsarlo especialmente en mercados emergentes y en el sector empresarial, aprovechando una menor competencia de Google y Samsung en ese rango de precio. #iPhone17e #iPhone17 #Apple #AppleNews #AppleRumors #iPhone2026 #MagSafe #AppleIntelligence #TechNews #smartphones https://youtu.be/04ZUIm-wEsQ?si=30N8rueYnMa8CqU- https://seoxan.es/crear_pedido_hosting Codigo Cupon "APPLE" PATROCINADO POR SEOXAN Optimización SEO profesional para tu negocio https://seoxan.es https://uptime.urtix.es PARTICIPA EN DIRECTO Deja tu opinión en los comentarios, haz preguntas y sé parte de la charla más importante sobre el futuro del iPad y del ecosistema Apple. ¡Tu voz cuenta! ¿TE GUSTÓ EL EPISODIO? ✨ Dale LIKE SUSCRÍBETE y activa la campanita para no perderte nada COMENTA COMPARTE con tus amigos applelianos SÍGUENOS EN TODAS NUESTRAS PLATAFORMAS: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Applelianos Telegram: https://t.me/+Jm8IE4n3xtI2Zjdk X (Twitter): https://x.com/ApplelianosPod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/applelianos Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/39QoPbO

Esta semana en El Garaje de Cupertino vienen curvas (y de las buenas): se habla del iPhone 17e que, según comentan, aterriza el 19 de febrero con chip A19, módem propio C1X, chip N1 (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/Thread) y el “por fin” que muchos esperaban: MagSafe… aunque siga con notch y una sola cámara. ¿La gran pregunta? Si de verdad es el iPhone “sensato” para quien quiere algo nuevo sin dejarse un riñón.Pero el episodio no se queda ahí: hay repaso de Apple TV+ y su “lluvia de estrellas” para 2026, con titulares como el regreso de Ted Lasso (temporada 4), la vuelta de Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (27 de febrero) y más estrenos con fechas apuntadas en rojo.En clave práctica, aviso importante para domótica: mañana, 10 de febrero, es la fecha límite para actualizar la app Casa/HomeKit, y quien no lo haga “puede perder acceso” a accesorios y automatizaciones. Si tienes bombillas, enchufes o termostatos conectados… hoy es el día de revisarlo.Y, como no podía faltar, se entra a fondo en el elefante del salón: Apple Intelligence, Siri y la IA agéntica. Desde lo que dejó caer Tim Cook (“la IA habilitará nuevas categorías de productos y servicios”) hasta la expectativa por la beta de iOS 26.4 (semana del 23 de febrero), donde se rumorea esa “Siri contextual” capaz de entender lenguaje natural y ejecutar acciones de verdad (rollo “agente” que orquesta herramientas), con comparaciones y debate sobre el salto que Apple necesita dar para no llegar tarde.Todo ello con el sello del Garaje: bromas, off-topics (sí, también sale San Valentín y la idea de regalos tech), y esa mezcla de hype + escepticismo que convierte cada rumor en conversación de bar… pero con mucho Apple encima de la mesa.Conviértete en un supporter de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/el-garaje-de-cupertino--3153796/support.

Highlights include solar-powered tech, innovative dash cams, creative accessories, audio gear, docks, and a surprisingly thoughtful retro-inspired digital camera. The conversation then turns to Apple software updates, including the imminent release of iOS 26.2.1 and beta testing of iOS 26.3 across Apple platforms. A major highlight is Apple's progress toward end-to-end encrypted RCS messaging, reinforcing Apple's ongoing privacy stance. Apple's surprise announcement of the Creative Studio Bundle sparks lively debate. The new subscription includes Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Pixelmator Pro, Motion, Compressor, and MainStage across Mac and iPad. The panel discusses subscription fatigue, student pricing, competition with Adobe Creative Cloud, and what this means for professionals and educators. The episode also covers Apple Podcasts' strongest year ever, despite increased competition from Spotify and YouTube. While Apple may hold a smaller share of a growing podcast market, engagement and subscriptions continue to climb. Other topics include updated Apple trade-in values, new firmware releases for AirPods Pro and MagSafe batteries, Shazam's 2026 Fast Forward artist list, and Apple Services' continued growth across Music, TV+, Arcade, and digital ID adoption. The show wraps with excitement around the return of Apple TV+'s sci-fi hit: The panel previews Monarch: Legacy of Monsters – Season 2, praising its character-driven storytelling and expanding MonsterVerse mythology.

Looking for the best digiscoping adapter for your spotting scope? In this video, I put the Kapture Digiscoping Adapter head-to-head against the industry leader, the Ollin adapter. After six weeks of guiding bear hunts in British Columbia, I tested both products in real hunting conditions to see which one holds up when it matters most. We compare:  • Price  • Build quality & installation  • MagSafe accessory compatibility  • 5x iPhone lens support  • Field usability & reliability If you're serious about filming your hunts, digiscoping wildlife, or capturing backcountry footage with your iPhone, this review will save you money, frustration, and missed shots.

Niléane battles the modern era of smart mice, Chris has a new way of keeping up with everything everywhere all at once, and the whole gang battles it out with the best dang MagSafe accessories you've ever seen.
