If true, the current M5 Pro and M5 Max models would remain on the market alongside the new device.

A recent roundup highlighted five key features expected in the MacBook Ultra, which is likely to go on sale later this year or in early 2027. The latter timeframe now seems more probable due to a global memory chip shortage affecting production timelines.

First Cases for Apple’s Foldable iPhone Appear Online

Foldable smartphones pose unique challenges for case manufacturers, who must balance protection with the device’s ability to fold. Third-party companies are already designing accessories for Apple’s upcoming foldable iPhone, using dummy units and leaked CAD files to size their molds.
