Apple Brings Dynamic Island to Mac for the First Time‎

Apple today introduced the Dynamic Island to the Mac for the first time with its new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, bringing Live Activities, Spotlight, and Siri AI together in an interactive area of the display. The ‌Dynamic Island‌ first launched on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max in September 2022. It replaced the notch with a smaller TrueDepth camera cutout surrounded by software that expands and changes shape to display alerts, ongoing Live Activities, and controls. The Mac version carries over the idea of keeping ongoing activities visible and accessible while users work in other apps. Apple says users can do things like answer a phone call, control music playback, and accept an AirDrop request through the interface. The ‌Dynamic Island‌ also serves as a location for Spotlight and ‌Siri‌ AI. With the new MacBook Pro's touchscreen, actions such as pausing a song can also simply be performed with a tap. While the original iPhone implementation incorporated the TrueDepth camera system used for Face ID, the new ‌MacBook Pro‌ retains Touch ID for authentication and features a 12-megapixel Center Stage camera. The arrival of the ‌Dynamic Island‌ therefore does not bring ‌Face ID‌ to the Mac. The new ‌MacBook Pro‌ models became available to pre-order on October 28 and launch on November 6. U.S. pricing starts at $2,899 for the 14-inch model and $3,399 for the 16-inch model.Related Roundup: MacBook ProTag: Dynamic IslandBuyer's Guide: MacBook Pro (Coming Soon)Related Forum: MacBook ProThis article, "Apple Brings Dynamic Island to Mac for the First Time" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Illuminated Apple Logo Returns to MacBook Pro After 10 Years‎

The iconic glowing rear Apple logo is returning to the MacBook Pro with the latest model, Apple today announced. Apple removed the illuminated logo from the ‌MacBook Pro‌ with its 2016 redesign, replacing it with a polished, non-illuminated version. Its return restores one of the laptop's most recognizable design features after a decade. We're glowing with excitement over the new MacBook Pro. You've gotta touch it to believe it. https://t.co/BLiGkGaefL— John Ternus (@johnternus) October 28, 2026 The previous illuminated logo used light from the display's backlight. The new ‌MacBook Pro‌ features a "PROLED XDR Display." OLED displays illuminate individual pixels without a separate backlight, so the new model requires a different approach to lighting the logo. The new ‌MacBook Pro‌ starts at $2,899 for the 14-inch model and $3,399 for the 16-inch model.Related Roundup: MacBook ProBuyer's Guide: MacBook Pro (Coming Soon)Related Forum: MacBook ProThis article, "Illuminated Apple Logo Returns to MacBook Pro After 10 Years" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Announces OLED MacBook Pro With Touch Display‎

Apple today announced a new high-end MacBook Pro, which is available in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes. The new device has a PROLED XDR display that supports touch gestures, and a glowing rear Apple logo. Pricing on the ‌MacBook Pro‌ starts at $2,899 for the 14-inch model and $3,399 for the 16-inch model. Apple says the ‌MacBook Pro‌ has the "world's best display in a pro laptop." The PROLED display uses tandem OLED paired with advanced algorithms in the display engine and factory calibration for "exceptional brightness, striking contrast, and vivid true-to-life colors." The display offers up to 2000 nits peak HDR and SDR brightness, along with a 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio. A display engine controls the color and luminance of each pixel, compensating for content, temperature, environment, and pixel use. ProMotion technology is available with refresh rates ranging from 10Hz to 120Hz. An antireflective coating cuts down on glare in bright lighting conditions, and there is an option to order the new ‌MacBook Pro‌ with a nano-texture display. We're glowing with excitement over the new MacBook Pro. You've gotta touch it to believe it. https://t.co/BLiGkGaefL— John Ternus (@johnternus) October 28, 2026 A touch sensor is built directly in the display panel, so there is no added latency. Apple says touch interactions feel "incredibly responsive and refined." Users can swipe scroll through a webpage with a swipe, pinch to zoom in on a photo, drag and drop slides from one presentation to another, and double-tap a window to have it fill the screen. A new hinge design offers more stability when using touch, and advanced video stabilization smooths the camera feed when using touch on a video call. Apple says macOS automatically translates touch into clicks, so many existing apps will work with touch right away. The ‌MacBook Pro‌ is up to 1mm slimmer than the existing version, and it is lighter weight at just three pounds for the 14-inch model and four pounds for the 16-inch model. There is no more notch, with Apple instead adding a small Dynamic Island that takes up less space. The ‌Dynamic Island‌ houses Spotlight, Live Activities, and Siri AI. Like on the iPhone, it offers a quick way to see and interact with important information. Smaller bezels mean the 16-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌ is now 16.3 inches in size, while the 14-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌ is now 14.2 inches. The new ‌MacBook Pro‌ uses the same M5 Pro and M5 Max chips as the ‌MacBook Pro‌ models announced back in March, but there is a redesigned thermal architecture that directs warm air away from the display. There is support for up to 128GB of unified memory, and a new six-speaker sound system with 50 percent deeper bass. There are three Thunderbolt 5 ports, HDMI, an SDXC card slot, MagSafe, and a headphone jack. The new machines support up to four external displays and come with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6. Fast charging allows the ‌MacBook Pro‌ to be charged to 50 percent in 30 minutes, and up to 16TB storage is available. Apple is selling the ‌OLED‌ ‌MacBook Pro‌ models alongside the existing mini-LED models and the new M6 14-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌. Pre-orders are available now, with a launch coming on Friday, November 6.

South Korea Rules Against Apple Over App Store Payment Rules‎

South Korea has fined Apple 20.8 billion won ($15.5 million) and ordered it to let developers link to external payment options from their apps, The Associated Press reports. The Korea Media and Communications Commission found that Apple and Google effectively require developers to use their payment systems, violating a 2021 law intended to allow alternatives. Google was fined 42.9 billion won ($32 million). Both companies allowed third-party payment services within apps, but charged developers a 26% commission and restricted some features. The regulator said these conditions pushed developers toward Apple and Google's payment systems, while rules against external payment links limited their other options. The companies must also improve their app review processes. The commission found that some reviews were delayed without clear explanations or information about when they would resume. It separately found that Apple charged South Korean developers higher commissions than overseas developers between 2015 and January 2023. Apple told The Associated Press that it disagrees with the ruling and is considering its legal options. The company says its policies comply with South Korean law and that its payment system helps protect customers against fraud.Tags: Apple Antitrust, App Store, Google, South KoreaThis article, "South Korea Rules Against Apple Over App Store Payment Rules" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

iOS 27.2 Adds Selfie-Based Age Verification‎

Apple has added selfie-based age verification in iOS 27.2 and iPadOS 27.2, allowing users in supported regions to demonstrate that they are adults without submitting a credit card or government-issued ID. The feature estimates whether someone is an adult by analyzing their face, according to a new Apple support document. The capture process involves following onscreen prompts to turn and tilt the head, providing views of the face from four directions. Apple says the verification process combines processing on the user's device with analysis through Private Cloud Compute. The results are brought together locally, and Apple says the images remain inaccessible to the company and anyone else during processing. After successful verification, the selfie is deleted. Users who receive an age confirmation prompt may be offered the option, although availability varies by location. Regional requirements determine when adult verification is necessary. Possible triggers include setting up an Apple Account, installing a software update, accessing apps rated 18+, and adjusting safety controls. Once a user has successfully established their adult status, Apple says further confirmation is unnecessary. Apple released iOS 27.2 on October 26.Related Roundups: iOS 27, iPadOS 27Related Forum: iOS 27This article, "iOS 27.2 Adds Selfie-Based Age Verification" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Raises MacBook Neo's Starting Price to $649 on Education Store‎

Apple has raised the MacBook Neo's starting price from $599 to $649 on its online education store in the U.S., meaning it now offers college students and other eligible groups only a $50 discount on the laptop, down from $100. The change was made within the past week, with equivalent increases in local currencies in other countries. When the MacBook Neo first launched in March, it started at just $499 on Apple's education store, but that rose to $599 in June and now to $649. Apple raised the MacBook Neo's starting price for the general public from $599 to $699 in June as well, and it has also raised prices on iPhones, other Macs and iPads, and additional products this year. The company has attributed the price increases to a memory chip shortage that has led to significantly higher costs for RAM and storage chips. MacBook Neo: Education Pricing March: $499 June: $599 October: $649 MacBook Neo: General Pricing March: $599 June—Present: $699In May, Apple expanded the UNiDAYS verification system that it already used in many European countries to the U.S. and Canada, meaning that customers who are not students, educational staff, or otherwise eligible are no longer be able to break the rules and take advantage of the lower prices available through the education store. Apple reportedly plans to release a second-generation MacBook Neo with an A19 chip, 12GB of RAM, and new color options in the first half of 2027. The current model has an A18 Pro chip with 8GB of RAM, and it is available in Silver, Blush, Citrus, and Indigo.

MacBook Studio?‎

A teaser video shared by Apple CEO John Ternus today hints at a potential name for the rumored MacBook models with touch-enabled OLED displays: MacBook Studio. The video shows an Apple logo being projected onto a wall against a city skyline, and perhaps that wall is a movie studio. Apple is expected to show off the new MacBooks to selected tech reporters and content creators at an experience in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. Pacific Time today, and that is the home of Hollywood movie studios after all. If this theory proves to be accurate, then Apple would offer both a Mac Studio desktop computer and a MacBook Studio laptop, plus the Studio Display. Apple would likely position the MacBook Studio as being aimed at creators, and it would surely promote its recently-updated Apple Creator Studio suite of apps alongside the announcement today. This is obviously all just some last-minute speculation for fun — we did the same with iPhone Duo. The new models could stick with MacBook Pro branding, and the long-rumored MacBook Ultra name still remains a possibility too. Bonus theory: What if the teaser hints at the glowing Apple logo returning to the MacBook's lid? We truly might be getting ahead of ourselves now. Here's the teaser in case you missed it: https://t.co/2XsfEhVRJH— John Ternus (@johnternus) October 28, 2026 This article, "MacBook Studio?" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
