Apple is reportedly building a more affordable, A18 Pro-powered MacBook slated to launch as early as this fall. Given that the entry-level MacBook Air M4 starts at a hefty $999, there’s still scope for a lower-end model that costs less. It would cater to budget-conscious customers whose workflows require more than just an iPad. Apple’s…
Research firm LightShed partners says Apple should consider replacing Tim Cook as CEO, but the change is unlikely to occur any time soon.

Throughout the 2000s and 2010s, Apple offered a line of Wi-Fi routers that it referred to as AirPort base stations.

Twenty years ago, Mac OS X Tiger introduced us to a search feature that would stand the test of time: Spotlight.
