Today Apple launched a new MacBook Air powered by the M5 chip. Here’s everything new in the M5 MacBook Air vs last year’s M4 model.

Apple is expected to announce an all-new, low-cost MacBook as soon as tomorrow, and MacBook Neo may be the official product name.

Apple confirms on its website that both iPadOS 26.3.1 and macOS 26.3.1 software releases are coming before the new iOS 26.4 iPhone update is released. This likely means that iOS 26.3.1 for iPhone is also confirmed.

Head on over to the just updated Apple website and the company will tell you that the MacBook Pro starts at $1,699. That is indeed the case for the original M5 version with 16GB RAM and a 1TB SSD.

However, pricing immediately jumps to well over $2,000 once you select one of the new chips, and the machine now maxes out at $7,349 …

Apple just upgraded the M4 MacBook Air with the more powerful M5 version, and the new and improved MacBook Air now includes a more powerful charger in the box.

Apple just launched the new generation MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, which was an opportunity for the company to give us some insight into how the recent surges in memory, storage and other PC components are impacting its pricing.

Apple has just announced the new, more powerful MacBook Pro models powered by the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips.

Apple has officially announced the new M5 MacBook Air. While the starting price has increased by $100, it now comes with double the starting storage, faster SSD speeds, and higher top-end storage.

Apple has officially announced the Studio Display XDR, which it says “delivers the most advanced display technology and a robust set of features for pro users who need the ultimate front-of-screen performance.”

The new Studio Display XDR features a 27-inch 5K Retina XDR display with 5120-by-2880 resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and more. Head below for the details.

Apple today announced its new external display lineup, with an updated Studio Display and the introduction of the brand new Studio Display XDR. The new Studio Display features a 12-megapixel Center Stage camera, and Thunderbolt 5 support.

The new Studio Display is on sale starting tomorrow, priced at $1599 and $1499 for education.

While it may not be from Apple, there’s a new Mac display entering the market today. BenQ just announced its new 5K 27-inch glossy monitor, the MA270S, which looks like a great alternative to their awesome 5K 27-inch matte display monitor.
