October 18, 2025, 11:46 PM EDT. Apple is reportedly trimming iPhone Air production by about one million units due to softer demand, even as production of the iPhone 17 lineup climbs (Pro and Pro Max up by up to four million). The iPhone Air is touted as the thinnest iPhone at 5.6 mm with an all-day battery life (3149 mAh eSIM-only, 3036 mAh with physical eSIM) and a starting price of $999, plus a 24-month financing option. Critics say demand is driven by the base iPhone 17's improvements, including ProMotion display at 1-120 Hz and better video battery life, which outshine the Air. Analysts see continued wait times for iPhone 17 orders and a potential delay of the iPhone Fold to 2027.

October 18, 2025, 11:40 PM EDT. Apple unveiled three new products powered by the M5, built on a third-gen 3nm process. The baseline M5 lands in the 14-inch MacBook Pro now, with 4 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores, matching the M4's core count. By contrast, M4 Pro tops at 10 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores, and M4 Max reaches 12/4. In early benchmarks, the base M5 nearly matches the M1 Ultra in multi-core performance, just 6% behind on Geekbench 6. It also tracks with the binned M3 Max (multi-core 18,933), sitting about 5% behind. Apple notes performance advances at far lower price points, with the 14-inch MacBook Pro starting at $1599 and future arrivals to the MacBook Air and Mac mini. Will you upgrade or wait?

October 18, 2025, 11:36 PM EDT. Apple has unveiled three new products powered by the M5 chip built on a 3nm process, currently shipping only in the 14-inch MacBook Pro. The baseline M5 features 4 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores, with no M5 Pro/Max/Ultra yet. In early benchmarks, the base M5 is nearly on par with the M1 Ultra in multi-core performance, trailing by about 6% on Geekbench 6. It also rivals a binned M3 Max, about 5% behind. The upgrade demonstrates Apple silicon's continued strength, delivering high-end performance at lower prices. The 14-inch MacBook Pro starts at $1599; Apple plans to bring the M5 to the MacBook Air and Mac mini later.

October 18, 2025, 11:32 PM EDT. Apple's new iPad Pro centers on the M5 chip, delivering up to 20% faster CPU and up to 40% faster GPU per Geekbench 6. Memory bump: RAM now 12GB on 256GB/512GB models, while 1TB/2TB stay at 16GB. New custom N1 chip for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 improves AirDrop and Personal Hotspot, though Wi-Fi 7 hits 160 MHz vs 320 MHz max. New C1X cellular modem offers up to 50% faster data and better power efficiency. Storage speeds: up to 2x faster SSD read/write. Display: external monitor support up to 120Hz with Adaptive Sync for smoother scrolling and gaming. Fast charging: ~30 min to 50% on 11-inch and ~35 min on 13-inch; 1 nit ultra-low brightness added. Pre-orders open now; ships this week.

October 18, 2025, 11:30 PM EDT. Apple's iPad Pro arrives with the M5 chip plus six upgrades. In addition to up to 20% faster CPU and up to 40% faster GPU (9-core CPU on 256GB/512GB, 10-core on 1TB/2TB), Apple adds: RAM up to 12GB on 256GB/512GB models (1TB/2TB stay at 16GB); a custom N1 chip for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 (though 160 MHz bandwidth remains); a new C1X modem delivering up to 50% faster cellular data and better power efficiency; up to 2x faster SSD read/write; support for external displays at up to 120Hz with Adaptive Sync for smoother scrolling and gaming; and faster charging-Apple says about 30 minutes to 50% on the 11-inch and 35 minutes on the 13-inch. Availability: pre-orders now, ships Wednesday.
