Prices could increase (or profits thinned) once Apple’s current stock of components like DRAM, NAND, and advanced chips runs out, according to The Wall Street Journal:

Mark Gurman says in the latest edition of the Power On newsletter that the slightly spec-bumped MacBook Pros (not the touchscreen OLED models) should launch as part of the macOS 26.3 release cycle. That means he expects them to hit shelves before the end of March.

See below for what he had to say. (You can read that memo Cook is referencing here.)

The standard iPhone 18 is set for a spring 2027 launch, and a “revamped” iPhone Air is in the works but isn’t expected for this year, according to Nikkei Asia.

Apple just announced a new AirTag, but you’ll still need an extra accessory to actually attach it to anything. Thankfully, Woot is taking $25 off Apple’s Leather AirTag Loop and $20 off Apple’s Leather AirTag Key Ring, selling them for $14.99. Although discontinued, both accessories are still solid picks that won’t wear down quickly with everyday use.

When you’re cool with doing a fascism, what’s a few sexual misconduct accusations? Ratner, who directed Melania, faced multiple allegations of sexual assault and harassment, which led Warner Bros. to cut ties.

If you’re wondering what kind of access a gold-and-Gorilla-Glass statue, a $1 million donation, and endless fawning buys you, well, it gets a special advanced screening of a state-sanctioned propaganda documentary film about the First Lady. Okay, it buys more than that, this is just a nice bonus.

The breach of Luxshare allegedly happened in December, though Cybernews reports that there is “no evidence” that “consumer iCloud accounts or user passwords were accessed.” The ransomware group RansomHub, which announced the breach, also claims that information from Nvidia, Tesla, and others is part of the stolen data.

The company’s design team technically reports to CEO Tim Cook, but hardware chief John Ternus — reportedly the leading candidate to replace Cook — is now the design group’s “executive sponsor” internally. In that role, Ternus “represents the design organization in executive team gatherings and manages the group’s leaders,” Bloomberg reports.

Season 5 of Apple TV’s alternate reality sci-fi series starts streaming on March 27th. It picks up with Mars now home to “a thriving colony with thousands of residents and a base for new missions that will take us even further into the solar system.” You can get a taste of that in the extremely brief new teaser.
