Apple could be considering a return of the iconic backlit Apple logo on future MacBook models, if a newly published patent is anything to go by. Once a common sight in coffee shops everywhere, the glowing emblem of an Apple logo featured on the lids of many Mac laptops launched in the early 2000s, but its demise in 2015 could turn out to be relatively short-lived.

Geekbench scores allegedly for the upcoming "M2 Max" chip have surfaced online, offering a closer look at the performance levels and specific details of the forthcoming Apple silicon processor.

We recognize apple for innovation. They’ve set themselves apart as a trendsetter in the tech industry. In September 2022, apart from iPhone 14, Apple released the AirPods Pro 2, the Apple Watch Ultra, the Apple Watch Series 8, and the Apple Watch SE. In October, Apple released the 10th-generation iPad, the iPad Pro, and the Apple TV 4K.

Opinion Apple's Mac hardware keeps getting thinner and lighter, and its iPads keep becoming more and more capable. I'm hardly the first to observe that the two products are getting closer together - but if Apple's environmental claims mean anything the products are now so close it's irresponsible they don't overlap.

You heard me. What’s up with this entry-level iPad? The iPad had one thing going for it: price. At $329, the entry-level model has been a real pain in my neck as a laptop reviewer for the past year. Every time I’ve wanted to recommend a budget laptop, Chromebook, or tablet, I’ve had to caveat that the iPad exists and might be a better deal. For multimedia or as a secondary device that didn’t need to accommodate, say, an enterprise workload, $329 was a steal.

We’ve seen the results of a whole bunch of benchmarks measuring M2 Mac speeds in the latest MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models. We can now add web browsing speed into the mix – for whatever that’s worth.

Apple will pay $50m (£41.6m) over claims its laptop keyboards were unresponsive and unreliable.

Apple’s new MacBook Air with the M2 chip goes on sale today. It represents a new era for the MacBook, with incredible battery life and awesome graphics, but reviewers all agree the machine suffers from overheating. Tech journalists and YouTube reviewers who got their hands on the new M2 MacBook Air voiced concerns about the overheating machine.

After releasing the M2 MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, Apple is still expected to launch a few M2 Macs between 2022 and 2023. In his Power On newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says the company has an internal goal to launch the new M2 Pro and M2 Max MacBook Pro as early as this fall.

The first MacBook to sport Apple’s new M2 arrived in dated fashion. The 13-inch Pro is a fine computer, but it’s hard to get excited about last year’s hardware with the largest redesign to an old favorite waiting in the wings.

Model identifier references to three new M2-based Macs have reportedly been found within unspecified Apple code, most likely macOS. With the M1 having made its way into multiple critically-acclaimed Macs, it's not a surprise that the M2 is going to appear in more too. Now, though, a developer has spotted specific references to as-yet unreleased M2 models.

Apple’s new 13-inch MacBook Pro M2 base model appears to have slower SSD speeds than its M1 predecessor. MacRumors reports that YouTubers Max Tech and Created Tech have both tested the 256GB base M2 model and discovered the SSD’s read speeds are around 50 precent slower than the M1 MacBook Pro with 256GB of storage. Write speeds are reportedly around 30 percent slower.

Apple is rumored to be working on Apple Silicon M2 Pro Mac mini, 14-inch MacBook Pro, and 16-inch MacBook Pro models — and also a Mac Pro tower equipped with a M2 Ultra and "M2 Extreme" chips.

With the first batch of M2 Macs being released, it could be just a matter of time until Apple unveils a new M2 iMac. After the most critical redesign for the line in years with the M1 iMac in 2021, it’s time to wonder what its successor will look like – and a concept imagines just that. As shared by designer Parker Ortolani on his Twitter, he imagines a new M2 iMac with darker colors with Starlight, Midnight, Green, Pink, and Blue. In addition, Apple would add two different size options for users with 24-inch and 27-inch versions.

Apple may be developing a larger iPad Pro model with a 14.1-inch mini LED display and an M2 chipset for a potential release in early 2023, according to a display analyst. Ross Young of Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) on Thursday said that his supply chain sources confirmed a 14.1-inch iPad Pro was being developed. The model will have both ProMotion, Face ID, and mini LED backlighting, he added.

Apple could gain share from Microsoft Windows in PC shipments after announcing its new and more powerful M2 processors.

Apple supplier Quanta's ability to manufacture MacBook Pro models at its Shanghai site remains seriously hampered despite the easing of lockdowns and resumption of production, reports DigiTimes. According to the Taiwan-based supply chain website, Quanta has so far only been able to restore around 30% production capacity at its Shanghai site since lockdowns ended last month.

From the 8 cores of the original M1 chip to the M1 Ultra’s 20, this is how macOS manages threads from apps, services and other code. In conventional multi-core processors, like the Intel CPUs used in previous Mac models, all cores are the same. Allocating threads to cores is therefore a matter of balancing their load, in what’s termed symmetric multiprocessing (SMP).

Apple may soon release a new set of Mac computers powered by the next generation of its homegrown chip. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the tech giant has started the widespread testing of at least nine Mac models with four different M2 chips, which suggests that Apple is gearing up to launch them. While it's not supposed to be public knowledge, Apple has been testing the machines using third-party apps from the App Store, and those applications' developer logs give us an idea of what to expect from the company's upcoming batch of computers.

If the rumors are true, Apple still has a few more Macs that are scheduled to arrive this year. But when is that likely to be? According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the tech giant could end up new Macs at WWDC 2022.
