Macworld Severance, the Apple TV+ show that’s being hailed as one of the best TV shows around, wrapped up its second season last week. But Apple isn’t content with just letting the season end and leaving us waiting for a third season. Apple seemingly wants to prolong its time in the spotlight by releasing a Behind the Scenes–err, I mean, Behind the Mac video about the production of the show, specifically, editing. Apple really wants you to see this video, so much so that they’re promoting it in the Mac section of Apple.com. Click on that link, and you’ll see a “New” Lumon Terminal Pro, the co ..read more

Macworld Back in December 2023, Porsche and Aston Martin gave us all hope for the stalled next-gen CarPlay project. As reported by Car and Driver magazine, the luxury carmakers previewed a custom CarPlay system for future car models. Over a year later, we still don’t know when they’re going to start rolling off the lot. Porsche has announced an updated Porsche Communication Management system for its 2026 911, Taycan, Panamera, and Cayenne model series, and Apple’s next-gen CarPlay is nowhere to be found. Porsche describes the system as “more responsive” and smarter, including built-in support ..read more

Macworld Amazon’s Big Spring Sale event is dropping prices left and right, including one of our favorite MacBook Pro configurations. Amazon is selling the 16-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro with 512GB of storage and 24GB of RAM for $2,199, a savings of $300 and the best price we’ve ever seen. The laptop comes with an excellent M4 Pro chip, 512GB of storage, and 24GB of memory.

When we reviewed the M4 Pro MacBook Pro, we gave it a 4.5-star rating and loved ju ..read more

Macworld The iPhones and Macs we use today aren’t mere smartphones and desktop computers—they’re the fruit of decades’ worth of research and testing behind the scenes at Apple HQ. Like most corporations in this field, Apple spends large sums of money trialing all sorts of wild and innovative prototypes. Naturally, many of these experiments never make it to the consumer market and instead act as lessons or even foundations for future devices. While there are numerous unreleased products concealed in Apple’s secret basement, here are six notable products Apple developed that never saw the light ..read more

Macworld Following the announcement Tuesday that an “incredible” WWDC 2025 event will run from June 9-13, Apple fans are rightfully excited to know more about the big software updates coming this year. As always, the biggest of all is iOS 19, the next major iteration of the iPhone’s operating system, and a number of screenshots making the rounds purport to show the visual changes and new features we can expect. But one pundit has warned that these are not representative and should be treated with caution. Posting on X (formerly Twitter) Tuesday, the Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, a reputable ..read more

Macworld Vision Pro has been a flop, plain and simple. By most accounts, it is not even close to meeting Apple’s own meager internal sales expectations. And worse, it is out of the public consciousness entirely, to where even Apple fans often forget about it. Better, cheaper hardware is one way to breathe more life into “spatial computing,” but since that’s not coming soon, Apple needs to double down on software. VisionOS 2 felt like visionOS 1.4 than a major step up, probably because it came so soon after the headset’s release. VisionOS 3, which will be announced at WWDC on June 9 and releas ..read more

Macworld I enjoy cooking, when I have the time (cleaning up, not so much). So when I heard about this new Food section coming to Apple News+ in iOS and iPadOS 18.4, I couldn’t wait to try it out. Now that I’ve kicked the tires a little bit, I’m happy to report that I love it! Also, I hate it. It’s a combination of fantastic design decisions and a highly usable interface together with a raft of missing features one should really expect from a cooking app. Apple is so close to having a fantastic feature for home cooks—if it would only address a few obvious shortcomings. Meat and potatoes For th ..read more

Macworld Apple has announced the dates of this year’s WWDC get-together. As expected, the event will run from June 9-13, 2025. As in prior years, this year’s WWDC will be a hybrid event. The entire five-day program will be available online, but there will also be an in-person gathering at Apple Park on June 9.

Macworld The tiny Mac Mini M4 Pro just dropped to its very best price over at Amazon’s Big Spring Sale. Now available for just $1,249, this micro machine is $150 off its usual $1,399. This is easily the most powerful mini PC you can get right now from Apple. We loved pretty much everything about it in our testing outside of its price, but this discount is a great step to alleviate those worries. Running on the latest M4 Pro chip with 24GB of memory and a spacious 512GB SSD, this mini monster can tackle any task you throw its way, from mundane browsing and Netflix watching to more difficult im ..read more
