New Apple Studio Display and Studio Display XDR Don't Work With Intel Macs
If you still have a Mac with an Intel chip inside, you're not going to want to pick up one of the new Studio Display or Studio Display XDR models. According to Apple's list of compatible Macs, neither model will work with an Intel-based Mac. Apple says that the Studio Display is compatible with a long list of Macs dating back to 2020, but they all have M-series chips inside. 16-inch MacBook Pro (2021 and later) 14-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌ (2021 and later) 13-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌ (M1, 2020 and later) 15-inch MacBook Air (2023 and later) 13-inch ‌MacBook Air‌ (‌M1‌, 2020 and later) Mac Studio (2022 and later) Mac mini (2020 and later) Mac Pro (2023 and later) 24-inch iMac (2021 and later) Apple started phasing out Intel Macs in 2020 when it released the first devices with Apple silicon. Intel chips were phased out in the ‌MacBook Air‌ in 2020 and ‌MacBook Pro‌ line in 2021, and other Macs followed. The last Intel Mac was the ‌Mac Pro‌, and the Intel version was discontinued in 2023. Apple hasn't sold an Intel Mac for close to three years. With Intel Macs long discontinued, Apple is phasing out support as well. macOS Tahoe will be the final software update for Intel-based Macs, and Intel Macs will not get macOS 27. While Intel Macs will not be updated past ‌macOS Tahoe‌, Apple plans to provide security updates for three additional years. The new Studio Display and Studio Display XDR will be available for pre-order on March 4 at 9:15 a.m. Eastern Time.Related Roundups: Apple Pro Display XDR, Apple Studio DisplayRelated Forum: Mac AccessoriesThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

These Macs Can't Run the Studio Display XDR at 120Hz
The new Studio Display XDR features a mini-LED display with up to a 120Hz refresh rate, but you'll need a newer Mac to get support for the full 120Hz. According to Apple, Macs that have an M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max, M1 Ultra, M2, or M3 will only support the Studio Display XDR at 60Hz. All other features remain available. For the full 120Hz refresh rate, you'll need to have a Mac with one of the following chips: ‌M2‌ Pro, ‌M2‌ Max, ‌M2‌ Ultra M3 Pro, M3 Max, M3 Ultra M4 Pro, M4 Max M5, M5 Pro, M5 Max All Macs that have an Apple silicon chip can be used with the Studio Display XDR with the upcoming macOS Tahoe 26.3.1 update. As for the iPad, The M5 iPad Pro supports the Studio Display at 120Hz, but all other compatible ‌iPad‌ models are limited to 60Hz. Compatible iPads include the M4 ‌iPad Pro‌, the 3rd-6th generation 12.9-inch ‌iPad Pro‌, 1st-4th generation 11-inch ‌iPad Pro‌, the ‌M2‌, M3, and M4 iPad Air models, and the 5th-generation ‌iPad Air‌. For older Macs and iPads that don't support 120Hz, there is little reason to select the more expensive Studio Display XDR over the standard Studio Display. The Studio Display starts at $1,599, while the XDR model starts at $3,299. The Studio Display XDR will be available for pre-order tomorrow at 9:15 a.m. Eastern Time, with a launch to follow on March 11.Related Roundups: Apple Pro Display XDR, Apple Studio DisplayRelated Forum: Mac AccessoriesThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

iPhone 16e vs. iPhone 17e Buyer's Guide: All Upgrades Compared
Apple's new low-cost iPhone comes a year after its predecessor, offering over a dozen small changes. Here's how the latest model compares. When Apple introduced the ‌iPhone‌ 16e last year, it replaced the aging ‌iPhone‌ SE and became the new low-cost ‌iPhone‌. The 16e adopted a contemporary full-screen design, Face ID, a 48-megapixel rear camera, USB-C, and the A18 chip, positioning it far closer to Apple's flagship models than previous budget models. Apple yesterday announced the iPhone 17e, featuring the A19 chip, MagSafe connectivity, faster charging, and more. Here's everything that differs between the ‌iPhone‌ 16e and ‌iPhone 17e‌: ‌iPhone‌ 16e (2025) ‌iPhone 17e‌ (2026) A18 chip (N3E) A19 chip (N3P) 4.04 GHz CPU clock speed 4.26 GHz CPU clock speed 60 GB/s memory bandwidth 68.2 GB/s memory bandwidth 4-core GPU 4-core GPU with Neural Accelerators C1 modem C1X modem eSIM only in United States (no SIM card slot) eSIM only in additional countries, including Canada, Japan, and Mexico Portrait mode with Depth Control Next-generation portraits with Focus and Depth Control Ceramic Shield front glass Ceramic Shield 2 front glass Qi wireless charging up to 7.5W ‌MagSafe‌ wireless charging up to 15W with 20W adapter or higher Compatible with ‌MagSafe‌ cases, wallets, wireless chargers, and more 5.88 ounces (167 grams) 5.96 ounces (169 grams) 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage options 256GB and 512GB storage options Available in White and Black Available in White, Black, and Soft Pink How Big Are the Upgrades? The ‌iPhone 17e‌'s most consequential upgrade is ‌MagSafe‌. The ‌iPhone‌ 16e was limited to standard Qi wireless charging at up to 7.5W. The ‌iPhone 17e‌ doubles that to 15W and brings compatibility with magnetic accessories such as snap-on chargers, car mounts, wallets, and cases. The ‌iPhone 17e‌ starts with 256GB, while the ‌iPhone‌ 16e began with 128GB. That is a 100% increase in base capacity at the same $599 starting price. Durability also improves modestly. The ‌iPhone 17e‌ introduces Ceramic Shield 2, which Apple says offers three times better scratch resistance than the previous generation, along with reduced glare. Performance improvements are measurable but more incremental. The benefits are more likely to surface in computational photography, gaming headroom, and future AI-driven iOS features. This is essentially a future-proofing upgrade over time rather than a dramatic speed bump. Other changes are marginal. The modem moves from the C1 to the C1X, promising improved efficiency and cellular performance, but battery life remains rated at 26 hours. Who Should Buy an iPhone 17e? The ‌iPhone 17e‌ is a strong choice for anyone upgrading from an ‌iPhone‌ 14 or older. For those users, the combined jumps in performance, charging speed, storage, and camera capabilities are substantial. It is also the better option for first-time ‌iPhone‌ buyers, because it represents a more future-proof baseline with ‌MagSafe‌, more base storage, and newer silicon that will age better over a three- to five-year ownership cycle. The more nuanced decision arises when a discounted ‌iPhone‌ 16e is available from a third-party retailer. In that case, the price difference becomes decisive. If the 16e can be purchased at a significant discount, it remains a capable and modern device, and will likely support virtually all of the same Apple Intelligence features going forward. For buyers who do not care about ‌MagSafe‌ and are comfortable with lower storage tiers, the 16e can still represent strong value. However, if the price gap is only modest, the ‌iPhone 17e‌ is generally the better purchase. The doubling of wireless charging speed, the presence of ‌MagSafe‌ and Ceramic Shield 2, and the doubling of base storage are collectively worth it. Over time, those advantages are more likely to affect day-to-day satisfaction. The ‌iPhone‌ 16e is the value option only when heavily discounted. The ‌iPhone 17e‌ is likely the better long-term buy, especially for anyone coming from an older device or entering the ‌iPhone‌ ecosystem for the first time. ‌iPhone 17e‌ pre-orders start on Wednesday, March 4, with availability starting a week later on Wednesday, March 11.

Leaked Apple Documents Detail MacBook Neo Features Ahead of Launch
Accidentally leaked Apple documents that reveal the "Neo" name of the upcoming low-cost MacBook also reference some of the features that will be included. The MacBook Neo will feature two USB-C ports, and it will also include a MagSafe port for charging purposes. Apple's latest Macs use a magnetic ‌MagSafe‌ cable, and in the case of the Neo, it will likely be color matched to the chassis. Rumors suggest the Neo will come in fun colors like pink, blue, and yellow. Along with two USB-C ports and ‌MagSafe‌, the MacBook Neo will include Wi-Fi 7, which is the latest Wi-Fi specification. It does not appear to have Apple's N1 networking chip, instead adopting a MediaTek chip for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Other information like display size and chip couldn't be determined from the document, but rumors suggest the Neo will have a 12.9-inch display and an A-series chip like the A18 Pro or the A19 Pro. We're expecting Apple to unveil the new low-cost MacBook on March 4 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time.This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Removes 512GB Storage Option From M5 MacBook Pro, Drops SSD Upgrade Prices
With the debut of the M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro models, Apple tweaked the available configurations for the standard M5 ‌MacBook Pro‌. The 14-inch M5 ‌MacBook Pro‌ used to start with 512GB of storage, but Apple has removed that option. All ‌MacBook Pro‌ models, including the entry-level M5 version, start with a 1TB SSD that can be upgraded to 4TB. The starting price of the M5 ‌MacBook Pro‌ was $1,599, but now it starts at $1,699 because of the updated storage. While the starting price has gone up, the price for SSD upgrades has technically shifted down. Upgrading to 1TB previously would have resulted in a machine that costs $1,799, but that same base configuration is now $1,699 and $100 more affordable. Upgrading to 2TB from the base starting storage used to be $600, but now the 2TB upgrade is $400. The 4TB upgrade is $1,000, $200 less than the $1,200 that it used to cost. In short, Apple has removed the 512GB storage option and dropped the price of SSD storage at the same time. The base machine is more expensive, but you're getting a higher capacity SSD for less. Apple has de-emphasized stock configurations and options are no longer listed on the purchase page for Macs. There are still stock models that will be sold in stores, however, and those pre-configured machines have been updated. Apple has removed the base model that had 512GB of storage and 16GB RAM, replacing it with the version that has 16GB RAM and a 1TB SSD. There's also a $1,899 stock model with 1TB SSD and 24GB memory, and a new higher-end model with the 1TB SSD and 32GB RAM for $2,099. Standard M5 ‌MacBook Pro‌ models with the new storage tiers are available for purchase as of today, and will deliver to customers as soon as tomorrow. The M5 Pro and M5 Max models can be pre-ordered starting at 6:15 a.m. Pacific Time on March 4, with a launch to follow on March 11.Related Roundup: MacBook ProBuyer's Guide: MacBook Pro (Caution)Related Forum: MacBook ProThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Discontinues Pro Display XDR and $999 Stand
Apple today discontinued its Pro Display XDR, following the introduction of a new 27-inch Studio Display XDR monitor. Introduced in December 2019 alongside a redesigned Mac Pro, the 32-inch Pro Display XDR was Apple's return to the premium external monitor market. The launch came three years after the company exited the category with the discontinuation of the Thunderbolt Display in 2016. The Pro Display XDR drew particular scrutiny for its $999 Pro Stand, which was sold separately from the $4,999 display. Apple defended the price by emphasizing its precise engineering, height, tilt, and rotation adjustments, and support for both landscape and portrait orientations, but it was a focal point of criticism at launch. In its place, Apple now offers an all-new Studio Display XDR, featuring a 5K resolution with mini-LED backlighting and up to 2,000 nits peak HDR brightness, adaptive refresh up to 120Hz, and Thunderbolt 5 connectivity with up to 140W charging and multiple high-speed ports. Compared with the Pro Display XDR, which was a larger 32-inch 6K monitor aimed at high-end HDR workflows, the new Studio Display XDR is smaller and cheaper, but it also features modern panel technology, higher refresh rates, and more connectivity. Pre-orders for the new display begin March 4 and availability starts March 11, with pricing starting at $3,299 for standard glass and $3,599 with nano-texture glass.

Apple Accidentally Leaks 'MacBook Neo'
Apple appears to have prematurely revealed the name of its rumored lower-cost MacBook model, which is expected to be announced this Wednesday. A regulatory document for a "MacBook Neo" (Model A3404) has appeared on Apple's website. Unfortunately, there are no further details or images available yet. The lower-cost MacBook is rumored to feature an iPhone chip like the A18 Pro or A19 Pro, rather than an M-series chip, as well as a 12.9-inch display. It has also been rumored that this MacBook will come in fun color options, like yellow, green, blue, and/or pink, and the "MacBook Neo" name certainly sounds fun. "MacBook Neo" would slot in below the MacBook Air in the Mac lineup, but its starting price remains to be seen, with estimates ranging from $599 to $799. The media will likely receive hands-on time with the "MacBook Neo" at the "Apple Experience" gatherings being held in New York, London, and Shanghai this Wednesday at 9 a.m. Eastern Time.

The company has also been planning to introduce new laptops this week, including its first-entry level MacBook with an iPhone-grade chip.Of course, there could always be a surprise or two in store. We are still waiting for new models of the Apple TV and HomePod mini, but those might be delayed until the more personalized version of Siri finally launches at some point this year. Other rumored products in the pipeline for the first half of 2026 include Mac Studio models with M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips, two new Studio Display models, and an all-new Apple smart home hub with a companion Apple-designed smart home camera. There is no sign of an iPad 12 with Apple Intelligence support yet. That was expected this week, but it likely would have been unveiled alongside the iPad Air with the M4 chip, so perhaps the entry-level iPad is not being updated yet after all. However, nothing is ruled out yet, so we shall see what Apple has planned over the next two days. The announcements will be capped off with an "Apple Experience" in New York, London, and Shanghai on Wednesday at 9 a.m. Eastern Time. At these gatherings, invited journalists and content creators will likely receive hands-on time with the new products. MacRumors will be attending the New York event, so stay tuned for our coverage.Related Roundups: MacBook Air, MacBook ProBuyer's Guide: 15" MacBook Air (Don't Buy), MacBook Pro (Caution), 13" MacBook Air (Don't Buy)Related Forums: MacBook Air, MacBook ProThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Anthropic Adds Free Memory Feature and Import Tool to Lure ChatGPT Users to Claude
Anthropic is aiming to lure customers from ChatGPT and Gemini with a new memory import tool that's available to free users as of today. Conversations and memories from other AI providers can be imported into Claude, so new users will not need to start from scratch. Users can import preferences and context from an AI service like ChatGPT using a prompt that Anthropic prepared for other chatbots. The prompt instructs the AI to prepare a list of memories and context from past conversations, with formatting that's easily digestible by Claude. I'm moving to another service and need to export my data. List every memory you have stored about me, as well as any context you've learned about me from past conversations. Output everything in a single code block so I can easily copy it. Claude has an input box for the exported data, and the information is added to Claude's memory. Claude has supported memory for paid plans since October 2025, but there was no option for free users to take advantage of the feature. With a memory feature now available for switching, users will not need to sign up for a paid plan to move their AI instructions and preferences to Claude. Anthropic says that memory will remain an option on the free plan. Enabling memory and then importing information into Claude can be done through the Memory section of Claude's settings. Last month, Anthropic took advantage of ChatGPT's decision to start displaying ads for free users, promising to keep Claude ad-free. Anthropic then added new features for free users, including options for compaction, creating files, using connectors, and accessing skills. Along with memory, those options were previously limited to paid subscribers. As of now, Claude is the top free iOS app in the App Store, a spot normally held by ChatGPT. Anthropic has been in the news over the last week for its inability to reach an agreement with the U.S. government over AI use, and the subsequent supply chain risk designation it received.Tag: AnthropicThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

iPhone 17e: Smaller Details You Might Have Missed
Apple has unveiled the iPhone 17e, with key upgrades over the iPhone 16e including the A19 chip, MagSafe, and the Ceramic Shield 2 for a more scratch-resistant screen. The device also has Apple's latest C1X modem for faster 5G, a doubled 256GB of base storage, and a new Soft Pink color option alongside White and Black. In addition to those headline changes, we uncovered four smaller iPhone 17e details: A19 chip limitation: While the A19 chip in the iPhone 17 has a 5-core GPU, the chip has a reduced 4-core GPU in the iPhone 17e. This limitation will result in slightly slower graphics performance while gaming, but many customers are unlikely to notice a major difference in real-world usage. This is not a downgrade, either, as the A18 chip in the iPhone 16e also has a 4-core GPU. eSIM-only in more countries: iPhone 16e was eSIM-only in the U.S. only, but the iPhone 17e lacks a physical SIM card slot across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Japan, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and the other countries and territories listed next to "Model A3575" of the iPhone 17e on Apple's cellular page. Same battery capacity: Like the iPhone 16e, the iPhone 17e has a 4,005 mAh battery capacity, according to a product label on Apple's website in the EU. Apple's advertised battery specs for the iPhone 16e and iPhone 17e are identical. Next-generation portraits: With next-generation portrait support, Apple says the "iPhone 17e recognizes people, dogs, and cats, and automatically saves depth information, allowing users to turn photos into beautiful portraits with background blur after capture and to adjust the focus point in the Photos app."We are still working to confirm the amount of RAM included in the iPhone 17e, but it is very likely 8GB, matching the amount in the iPhone 16e and the regular iPhone 17. The next beta of Xcode 26.4 should confirm this information, so stay tuned. In the U.S., the iPhone 17e starts at $599, just like the iPhone 16e did. You can pre-order the iPhone 17e on Apple.com starting Wednesday, March 4 at 6:15 a.m. Pacific Time, with availability set to begin Wednesday, March 11.This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Seeds Third Betas of iOS 26.4 and iPadOS 26.4 to Developers
Apple today seeded the third betas of upcoming iOS 26.4 and iPadOS 26.4 updates to developers for testing purposes, with the software coming a week after Apple provided the beta to developers. Registered developers can download the betas from the Settings app on the iPhone or iPad by going to the General section and selecting Software Update. iOS 26.4 and iPadOS 26.4 add multiple new features to the ‌iPhone‌ and the ‌iPad‌, but the first beta contained no sign of new Siri capabilities. A Playlist Playground feature in Apple Music lets you generate songs for any idea, mood, emotion, or activity using a text-based prompt. There's also a Concerts Near You feature for finding local shows, and a redesigned look for albums and playlists with full-page artwork. Apple Podcasts is getting native video podcasting capabilities that will make it easier to create, distribute, and monetize video podcast content through the Podcasts app. Video episodes will integrate with existing Apple podcasts features, like personalized recommendations and editorial suggestions. Apple is testing end-to-end encryption for RCS, which will eventually bring full encryption to text conversations between Android and ‌iPhone‌ users. Apple is testing ‌RCS‌ with iPhone-to-iPhone conversations and iPhone-to-Android conversations. The first two betas didn't include new emojis, but we saw signs of them in the code so we might get them in the third beta. The new update is also expected to new emoji characters will include trombone, treasure chest, orca, landslide, and Bigfoot. Stolen Device Protection is enabled by default, there's a new ambient music widget, new average bedtime metrics in the sleep app, and plenty more. All of the features in iOS 26.4 can be found in our iOS 26.4 beta features guide.Related Roundups: iOS 26, iPadOS 26Related Forum: iOS 26This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Releases Third watchOS 26.4 and visionOS 26.4 Betas
Apple today provided developers with the third betas of upcoming watchOS 26.4 and visionOS 26.4 betas for testing purposes. The software comes a week after Apple released the second betas. The software updates are available through the Settings app on each device, and because these are developer betas, a free developer account is required. watchOS 26.4 adds a new Average Bedtime metric to the sleep features that sync to the health app, so you can better keep an eye on how bedtime impacts overall sleep quality. tvOS 26.4 eliminates the iTunes Movies and iTunes TV Shows apps on the Apple TV. These apps haven't worked for some time and have directed users to the ‌Apple TV‌ app for purchases, but Apple is finally phasing them out entirely. Apple also added a Continuous Audio Connection option for HDMI output. visionOS 26.4 includes support for foveated streaming for apps and games. Foveated streaming allows video to be streamed to the precise area where a user is looking, and peripheral areas are compressed. It allows for higher visual quality and lower latency.

Report: Apple Asks Google to Run Siri on Its Servers
Apple has asked Google to investigate setting up servers in its data centers to run a future version of Siri powered by Gemini, The Information reports. Currently, Apple sends its more complex AI queries to Private Cloud Compute, a system that runs on Apple servers using Apple silicon chips. Today, only 10% of Apple's Private Cloud Compute capacity is said to be in use on average. The usage is low enough that some servers intended for Apple's AI cloud system are still in warehouses and have not yet been installed. This could change rapidly upon the launch of the next-generation version of ‌Siri‌, which could spike Apple's demands for cloud computing. Apple has reportedly suffered from a cultural reluctance to bolster its cloud infrastructure for years, leading to the departure of some key cloud experts from the company, such as Patrick Gates. Gates pioneered the idea of bringing Apple chips to data centers, which later formed the basis of Private Cloud Compute. The company still strongly focuses on hardware devices and consumer features rather than their supporting cloud technologies, despite the growth of services, resulting in a neglect of the need for additional capacity. At the time Apple realized it needed to use the cloud to support its AI efforts, its internal AI infrastructure was "beginning to decay." The company was amid the process of decommissioning old Nvidia-powered servers. Combined with financial pressure, this led the company to increasingly turn to third-party providers like Amazon. For years, Apple banned its AI engineers from Google's cloud technologies because of privacy concerns. Apple software chief Craig Federighi repeatedly vetoed Google Cloud as an option for its AI computing requirements. In 2023, Google made changes to its security systems that satisfied Apple's privacy concerns. Apple then started to adopt Google's cloud infrastructure for artificial intelligence. The issue has been exacerbated by problems with Private Cloud Compute, which takes longer to update than other servers. Moreover, the chips currently used in Private Cloud Compute servers were designed for consumer devices and are not optimized for AI workflows, meaning that they are not well equipped to run large models like Gemini. Apple now wants to be prepared for a potential surge in AI use on its devices when the more powerful, Gemini-based version of ‌Siri‌ debuts later this year, motivating the request for Google to run ‌Siri‌ directly on its servers. See The Information's full report for more.
