Apple Hit With $2.7 Billion Lawsuit Over App Tracking Rules‎

Apple is facing a £2 billion ($2.7 billion) lawsuit in London accusing it of imposing stricter App Tracking Transparency rules on third party developers than on its own advertising services (via Reuters). The case, filed at London's Competition Appeal Tribunal, follows a similar suit in which the tribunal ordered Apple to pay around £1.5 billion over App Store commissions last October, a ruling Apple is appealing. The new claim still needs to be certified before it can proceed.Tags: App Tracking Transparency, Apple Lawsuits, United KingdomThis article, "Apple Hit With $2.7 Billion Lawsuit Over App Tracking Rules" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

iPhone Ultra's Very High Price and Features Revealed in New Report‎

Ahead of Apple's event on Wednesday, September 9, where it is expected to unveil its first-ever foldable iPhone, Taiwanese research firm TrendForce today outlined the device's estimated price range, features, and some other key details. In the U.S., TrendForce estimated that the foldable iPhone will have a starting price of $2,099 to $2,299 and said the highest-end configurations could surpass the $3,000 mark. In other words, the foldable iPhone would easily be the most expensive iPhone ever, coming in well above the iPhone 17 Pro Max's starting price of $1,199. The foldable iPhone will be named iPhone Ultra, according to a previous report from Macworld's Filipe Espósito, who now writes for Engadget. TrendForce expects the foldable iPhone to have the following specs: 5.5-inch outer OLED display 7.8-inch inner OLED display with ProMotion for up to a 120Hz refresh rate Touch ID A20 Pro chip manufactured with TSMC's 2nm process 12GB of RAM 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB storage capacities 24-megapixel front camera 48-megapixel rear Wide camera 48-megapixel rear Ultra Wide cameraWith just six more days until Apple's event, the foldable iPhone will finally be revealed soon.Tags: iPhone Ultra, TrendForceThis article, "iPhone Ultra's Very High Price and Features Revealed in New Report" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Apparently Cancels Plans for Two New MacBooks‎

Apple has canceled plans for a foldable MacBook and a larger OLED MacBook Pro model, according to research firm Omdia. In a new research note, Omdia said Apple has scrapped development of a large foldable MacBook that would have measured between 16.1 and 18 inches when unfolded. It was previously reported that this device had already slipped out of its original 2026 production window, with Omdia among the firms tracking it at the time, though under that earlier reporting it was generally described as a large-screened foldable iPad rather than a MacBook. Apple has also apparently called off a separate, previously planned MacBook with an ‌OLED‌ display between 14.4 and 16.1 inches in size, which would have sat in its own tier between the standard ‌MacBook Pro‌ sizes and the canceled foldable. With both of those product lines scrapped, the 14.3 to 16.3 inch size range will seemingly remain exclusive to the ‌MacBook Pro‌ series going forward. Omdia said Apple's broader strategy of bringing ‌OLED‌ displays to its entire ‌iPad‌ and MacBook lineup has not changed, but the company has reworked which products will get ‌OLED‌ and what specific ‌OLED‌ technology each one uses, a shift that lines up with the changes detailed in Apple's rumored 2026 and 2027 product roadmap. As part of that same reshuffle, Apple is said to be adding a new 13.8 inch MacBook positioned between the LCD MacBook Air and the ‌OLED‌ ‌MacBook Pro‌, using a new generation of ‌OLED‌ technology that includes an LTPO+ backplane, under-panel camera, and color-filter-on-encapsulation technology, among other features. That new 13.8 inch model appears to fill the gap in Apple's lineup that the now canceled 14.4 to 16.1 inch MacBook ‌OLED‌ would have occupied, positioned below the Pro rather than above it. The 14.3- and 16.3-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌ ‌OLED‌ models, also referred to as the "MacBook Ultra," are expected to be announced in the second half of 2026 or early 2027. Omdia added that Apple will not discontinue the existing mini-LED ‌MacBook Pro‌ models in those sizes when the high-end ‌OLED‌ versions arrive, and the two display types are expected to sell in parallel for several years, with the mini-LED version likely continuing until at least 2028.Related Roundup: MacBook ProTag: OmdiaBuyer's Guide: MacBook Pro (Buy Now)Related Forum: MacBook ProThis article, "Apple Apparently Cancels Plans for Two New MacBooks" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Mini-LED MacBook Pro Models Could Stick Around Until 2028‎

Apple has reportedly revised its plans for adopting OLED displays across its MacBook lineup, and its existing LCD-based MacBook Pro models with mini-LED backlighting are now expected to remain available for longer than anticipated. According to a new OLED adoption roadmap published by research firm Omdia, Apple still intends long-term adoption of OLED panels across MacBooks and iPads, but the transition pace has recently changed, owing to higher memory and component costs. Previously, Omdia had expected Apple to discontinue its existing LCD-based models sooner, once its 14-inch and 16-inch OLED MacBook Pro models arrive – either this year or in early 2027. However, Omdia now predicts that Apple will continue to sell both 14-inch and 16-inch LCD MacBook Pro models in parallel with the OLED MacBook Pro product line into at least 2028, a product strategy arrangement that is said to be based on cost factors. Previous reports had already suggested Apple will position the OLED-based "MacBook Ultra" above the existing MacBook Pro models in its lineup, but there was little information about how long Apple would keep the latter models around for. Omdia's roadmap is the first to suggest they could remain available for another year at least.Related Roundup: MacBook ProTags: Mini-LED, OmdiaBuyer's Guide: MacBook Pro (Buy Now)Related Forum: MacBook ProThis article, "Mini-LED MacBook Pro Models Could Stick Around Until 2028" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

'MacBook Ultra' Rumored to Have M5 Ultra Chip Option‎

Apple reportedly plans to release MacBook Pro models with OLED displays by early 2027, and Omdia analyst David Hsieh has predicted that the laptops will have an M5 Ultra chip option. Given that these MacBook Pro models might actually be branded as "MacBook Ultra" models, it would be fitting if there were configurations with the M5 Ultra chip available. But keep your expectations low, as there has never been a MacBook with an Ultra chip, and a previous report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman only mentioned M5 Pro and M5 Max chips for these laptops.Tag: MacBook UltraThis article, "'MacBook Ultra' Rumored to Have M5 Ultra Chip Option" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Reportedly Planning All-New MacBook Model Between Air and Pro‎

Apple may introduce an entirely new 13.8-inch OLED MacBook model in 2029, potentially creating a new product tier between the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, according to an updated product roadmap from research firm Omdia. The firm's latest roadmap sandwiches a new 13.8-inch MacBook between the projected time line for the Air and Pro models. The surprise model is said to use a single-stack hybrid OLED panel, rather than the more sophisticated tandem OLED technology that is expected in the upcoming OLED MacBook Pro models, which are set to launch either later this year or early next year. It seems this prediction hasn't come out of nowhere, either. According to a June report from ZDNet Korea, Apple sounded out Samsung Display, LG Display, and BOE for information regarding a 13.8-inch OLED MacBook panel earlier this year. At the time, the general assumption was that it was likely to be part of Apple's work on the first OLED MacBook Air, expected by 2028 at the earliest. However, looking at Omdia's latest roadmap, the OLED MacBook Air is conspicuously absent, having been replaced by the 13.8-inch OLED machine in a separate "new" product category. The new model is expected to incorporate an LTPO+ backplane, integrated touch sensing, an under-panel camera, and a color filter integrated into the OLED encapsulation layer. Omdia believes it is still too early to know for sure which display manufacturer would supply panels for the device, but the firm believes that it could potentially become an important mainstream MacBook product, positioned between the LCD MacBook Air and the higher-end OLED MacBook Pro. Meanwhile, the MacBook Air line is shown as continuing to use LCD displays right into 2030. Of course, Apple's wholesale OLED adoption plans could change, and Omdia itself caveats that its roadmap is based on current market expectations. On that basis alone, it could be adjusted at any time according to OLED manufacturing capacity, component costs, and Apple's wider product strategy. Additionally, this is the first we've heard of a completely new MacBook line, and it's still three years out. So with all due caution, file this one under "wait and see."Tag: OmdiaThis article, "Apple Reportedly Planning All-New MacBook Model Between Air and Pro" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

iPhone 18 Pro Chip Leak Indicates Major GPU and Memory Bandwidth Improvements‎

An alleged solder joint diagram for Apple's A20 Pro chip suggests the processor will deliver a number of significant upgrades, including a seven-core GPU, a wider memory interface, and a larger L2 cache for its efficiency cores. The claims come from a Weibo user who says the layout was reconstructed by mapping the chip's solder ball positions and overlaying them with die level images to sketch out where each block of the processor sits. According to the post, the resulting outline points to a two and four core CPU configuration and a seven core GPU, with the top of the die housing the GPU and the CPU occupying the center. Based on the layout, the leaker expects the A20 Pro's efficiency cores to share an 8MB L2 cache, up from 6MB on the A19 Pro, while the performance cores retain their existing 16MB L2 cache. The size of the shared system level cache is not yet known, but the leaker believes it is unlikely to shrink given the chip's new image signal processor and neural engine. With regards to the GPU, the seven core configuration would mark an increase from the six cores on the A19 Pro, a jump of roughly 16%. The leak also points to a 96-bit memory interface for LPDDR5x RAM, up from the 64-bit interface on the A19 Pro, a 50% increase that would meaningfully boost memory bandwidth. Graphics performance tends to scale with memory bandwidth, so the wider bus could have an additional impact on top of the additional GPU core. The A20 Pro is highly likely to debut the iPhone 18 Pro and ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max next week. It could also be used in Apple's first foldable iPhone.

iPhone 18 Pro Prices Estimated Ahead of Apple Event Next Week‎

Less than a week before Apple debuts new iPhone 18 Pro models, research firm TrendForce has estimated the prices of the devices based on the latest hardware cost environment. TrendForce's price estimates compared to last year's models look like this: Model Starting Price Model Starting Price Change iPhone 17 Pro $1,099 iPhone 18 Pro $1,249-$1,299 +$150 to +$200 iPhone 17 Pro Max $1,199 iPhone 18 Pro Max $1,349-$1,399 +$150 to +$200 Apple is likely to raise iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max prices by around 10-20% compared to last year's Pro models, according to the firm. Taking TrendForce's June forecast of a 14-18% increase, which fits within its latest broader 10-20% range and translates more neatly to Apple's typical pricing scheme, we could see the iPhone 18 Pro starting price jump to between $1,249-$1,299 and the iPhone 18 Pro Max between $1,349-$1,399. Meanwhile, TrendForce expects prices for Apple's first foldable iPhone (aka "iPhone Ultra") to start anywhere between $2,099-$2,299, with the highest storage option potentially exceeding $3,000. The regular iPhone 18 model is not expected to debut until spring 2027. Nevertheless, TrendForce expects the same general 10-20% price increase to apply to that device as well. The overriding reason for the price increases is memory costs. TrendForce says the cost of a 256GB memory chip has risen nearly 400% year-on-year, while its separate analysis puts the overall bill of materials (BOM) for a 256GB Pro model at around 38% more over the same period. That said, Apple is expected to absorb some of that increase via lower margins, rather than passing the full cost onto consumers. Last year, Apple managed to avoid raising the price of the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and only marginally raised the iPhone 17 Pro price in the U.S. year-on-year by $100. This year, however, the insatiable AI infrastructure buildout has made memory costs even more expensive, effectively holding the rest of the electronics industry to ransom. And things don't look like they're going to get any better anytime soon. We will find out the real prices during Apple's "Surprise and shine" event on Wednesday, September 9.Related Roundups: iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone FoldTags: Apple Event, TrendForceThis article, "iPhone 18 Pro Prices Estimated Ahead of Apple Event Next Week" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
