It's Christmas Eve, but that doesn't mean there hasn't been a lot of Apple news in recent days, as we've been hearing about Apple's plans for the Mac Pro, iPhone SE, and more.
In other news, Apple has detailed changes it made in a couple of recent AirTags firmware updates, while the company appears to have pulled back a new Home app architecture it began offering to users. Below is a list of the stories and more that you can read.
Mark Gurman reported that Apple is testing an all-new Mac Pro with an M2 Ultra chip, but the company has likely abandoned plans to offer a higher-end chip.
According to Gurman, the Mac Pro with the M2 Ultra chip will have up to a 24 core processor, up to a 76 core graphics card, and at least 192 gigabytes of memory. He expects the new Mac Pro to be the same as the current one, with more memory, storage, and more.
The Intel-based Mac Pro costs $5,999 in the US. The new model will probably be launched in 2023.
Several other Macintosh computers are expected to be updated next year. New 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M2 Pro and M2 Max chips are expected to be released in early 2019. There is a rumor of a new Mac mini.
We covered the latest rumors for every Mac that Apple sells, including the MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, Mac mini, and Mac Pro.
According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will either cancel or delay mass production of the fourth- generation of the phone.
The next iPhones are likely to be different due to lower-than- expected shipments of mid- to low-end models.
The ability to upgrade to a new Home app architecture is one of the key new features in the new version of the operating system. The upgrade offers improved performance and reliability for HomeKit accessories.
The option to upgrade the Home app was removed by Apple after some users complained about technical issues.
Apple just released two new updates for its AirTag accessory, and the company has given a description of what's new in the updates.
Some features promised by Apple earlier this year are included in one of the updates. There was an issue with the AirTag's accelerometer that wasn't activated in some scenarios.
The ninth anniversary of the release of the so-called "trashcan" Mac Pro gave an opportunity to reflect on Apple's most controversial hardware design.
Professional users complained about the lack of upgradeability of the Mac Pro because it was not modular. The computer was no longer in use.
