That’s according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who writes today that he is “certain these machines are the real deal.” The machines from last week’s leaks seem to be base model M4 MacBook Pros with 16GB of memory and 10-core CPUs and GPUs, he adds.

Apple is expected to announce the laptops along with a smaller Mac Mini, a refreshed iPad Mini, and more soon.

If you’ve already watched Submerged on your Vision Pro, there will be additional Immersive Video content over the course of this year, and you can see the list of what’s coming on 9to5Mac.

Wanting to put its internals on display, YouTube’s Phone Repair Guru stripped an iPhone 16 Pro’s back panel down to the glass using a surprisingly complicated process. Gallium was even used to remove a thin layer of aluminum as the two metals react to create a soft alloy. The results look great, but maybe don’t try this mod at home.

You can also set a background color, see pinned notes, and more. MacRumors has the full list of updates.

9to5Mac has an article about the apparent rollout and says that the rollout “appears to be very gradual.” Home Depot had been a major holdout on accepting Apple Pay, but a support account said in September that the company was evaluating mobile payments.

Walmart is now arguably the biggest retailer to not accept Apple’s mobile payments.

With the latest iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia updates, wired gaming with an Xbox controller is now supported, even for devices with Lightning ports (using an adapter), MacRumors reports, giving Xbox-preferring gamers a way around latency and wireless interference.

Apple devices had previously supported PlayStation controllers but not Xbox, which MacRumors notes use a proprietary USB protocol, so support for it needed to be custom, as well.
