AI-generated Roblox games are about to get much easier to make on iPhone
Roblox is putting AI game creation inside its mobile app, giving more people a faster way to turn a written idea into a playable experience without starting in Roblox Studio.Mobile-first AI creation on RobloxThe company will begin a public alpha of Build in New Zealand on July 28, 2026. The mobile-first AI tool turns text prompts into playable games inside the Roblox app and will include publishing among its selected early features.Build adds a creation tab to the mobile app. A user can describe a game in ordinary language, and Build will generate an initial project with gameplay mechanics, environments, characters, visual styling, sound, and other elements.Creators can playtest the result, request changes through chat, share the project with friends, or continue working in Roblox Studio. Build and Studio share the same back end, models, and chat history, so a project started on a phone can move into the company's more advanced desktop tools.

macOS 27 Golden Gate Public Beta showcases its namesake in wallpaper
Macworld Apple used to include perfect images for dynamic wallpapers and screensavers to showcase the namesake of its Mac operating systems: a dune in the Mojave Desert (Mac OS X El Capitan); a bird’s-eye view of Catalina Island (macOS Catalina); the Big Sur coastline (macOS Big Sur). Since macOS Monterey, abstract graphics had taken the spotlight; it was not until macOS 26 Tahoe that the default wallpaper returned to nature and landscape shots. In the first two betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, the abstract background with its brown-and-gold color scheme dominated. But with the third developer beta and the just-released Public Beta, the Mac now greets its users with a view of the sunset over the Golden Gate Bridge. In the screensaver, the camera slowly zooms across the rocks at the southern end of the bridge towards the surf. There is also a second background with a screensaver, though this still needs to be downloaded: the Golden Gate Bridge at night. Here, the view from the northern side has been chosen, with the brightly lit city shimmering in the background. In the animated screensaver, you can see cars travelling across the bridge and the full moon slowly moving across the sky. The Golden Gate Bridge wallpapers and screen savers are in macOS 27 System Settings > Wallpaper; look for them in the Landscape section.

All of a sudden, Apple is winning AI
Macworld Has Apple focused too much on AI over the past few years, or not enough? It depends on who you ask. On the one hand, the topic is faddish, inescapable, and faintly apocalyptic, and I get thoroughly depressed listening to AI buzzwords at Apple events. But on the other, can the company afford to be left behind? Yeah, I know: the food’s terrible, and such small portions. It turns out, however, that Apple may have played this one exactly right. With the benefit of hindsight, the company’s curious mixture of enthusiastic lip service and wait-and-see standoffishness appears perfectly judged. Apple is part of the AI conversation, while remaining far less committed than its quicker-acting, more reckless rivals. It’s enjoying the benefits, without having to suffer the consequences. Let’s start with the benefits. Following years of substandard performance and delays, the new AI-powered version of Siri has emerged as a genuinely useful chatbot. It can’t do everything ChatGPT offers quite yet, but it’s reliable for quick questions, is clued into the iPhone data like no other chatbot, and is set up for a wide range of actions. It’s private, fast, and, in typical Apple fashion, there’s still plenty of room for improvement. For the vast majority of iPhone owners, Siri AI was worth the wait. It does everything it needs to, and it should calm the negative voices clamoring about its place in the AI ecosystem. The real trick, however, is that Apple has achieved this without exposing itself to the trials and tribulations currently afflicting more AI-forward rivals. Take OpenAI, maker of ChatGPT and perhaps the biggest name in this field. Apple recently sued it for theft of trade secrets, but this was hardly unprecedented. In 2023 alone, the company was sued three times (one, two, three) for copyright infringement by a total of 21 authors and The New York Times, while a fourth suit that year representing 16 anonymous plaintiffs alleged “an array of harms from copyright violations to wiretapping.” In subsequent years many more lawsuits followed. These related to (among other things) stalking, murder, suicide, and two separate mass shootings (one, two). Legal challenges will likely continue for the foreseeable future, as will the keen interest of regulatory bodies. In terms of public perception, OpenAI is divisive, to say the least. It has some intense supporters, but the company is associated in many eyes with slop videos and images, drought, unemployment, and a cavalier approach to other people’s intellectual property. Even Elon Musk, no stranger to global unpopularity, calls the CEO of the company “Scam Altman.” That gentleman doesn’t do himself any favors, to be fair. Siri AI isn’t the best chatbot on the market, but it’s good enough.Apple It might seem like I’m giving OpenAI a hard time, but it’s really only one example of the backlash. Each time a company commits itself to AI, it risks financial and reputational damage. Such as Google and its racially diverse Nazis, Samsung and its confusing data consent terms, and Microsoft and its harmful responses. When not dunking hilariously on its owner, Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot is getting him in legal hot water by creating deepfake pornography and denying the Holocaust. By contrast, Apple has got off incredibly lightly. Criticism of its AI efforts has mostly revolved around the company being slow to market. The worst scandal has probably been iOS AI notifications sometimes getting confused. But here it is, with a working AI chatbot just a couple of months away from debuting on billions of devices.. And without the substantial investments in AI infrastructure, which make it harder for rivals to step back. Why build your own unpopular data centers when you can use Google’s? Success isn’t just about what you gain, but what it costs you. And on those terms, Apple appears to be winning AI.

Get ready, a massive iPad mini upgrade may be coming soon
Macworld According to a new report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the “biggest overhaul to the iPad mini in half a decade” is coming as soon as this October. The new version of Apple’s smallest tablet includes an upgrade to an OLED display from the current IPS LCD, which would bring the image quality in line with the iPhone and the iPad Pro. The last time Apple updated the iPad mini was in 2024, when the only change was from an A15 Bionic to an A17 Bionic processor. Gurman’s report doesn’t offer details on chip upgrades and other specifications, but past reports said that Apple had an A19 Pro iPad mini in testing. Apple is expected to introduce the A20 Pro chip with the iPhone 18 Pro announcement in September, so an A20 Pro in the iPad mini is also a possibility. Apple is also expected to release the iPhone Ultra, a folding phone, and reports have said that the Ultra is expected to be about 7.8 inches when unfolded. That would make it a little smaller than the 8.3-inch iPad mini. While the iPhone Ultra is expected to be much more expensive than the iPad mini, with a starting price of more than $2,000, its existence could bring more attention to the iPad mini, which currently starts at $599. Apple raised the price of the iPad mini last month, and the upgrade here could result in another price hike, but it will still be much more affordable than an iPhone Ultra. Gurman also reported that Apple plans to update the other iPad models through the first half of 2027. The entry-level iPad “is slated for release as early as the first calendar quarter next year,” followed by updates to the iPad Air, iPad Pro, and Apple Pencil in the spring.

Skip the Apple Tax and get four FindMy trackers for under $20
Macworld Ugreen FineTrack Air iOS trackers 4-pack View Deal (function () { document.querySelector("#sticky-promo-block a").addEventListener("click", function(e) { const debug = document.location.host.search(/lndo.site|go-vip.net/) !== -1; const text = this.closest("#sticky-promo-block").querySelector("p.promo-title").textContent; const data = { event: "stickyConversionUnitClick", eventCategory: "Sticky Conversion", eventAction: "Click", eventLabel: text }; if(debug)console.log("Sticky Conversion CLick - pushing to dataLayer: ", data); dataLayer.push(data); return true; }); })(); Sure, you could pay $100 for a pack of four AirTags, but why not pay $19.97 instead? Amazon is selling four Ugreen FineTrack FindMy Bluetooth trackers for 25 percent off, the lowest price we’ve seen outside of Prime Day and other major sales. And even then, the cheapest they’ve been is $19. Despite the trackers not having the Apple logo on them, they work just fine with Apple’s Find My app. Each tag pairs with your iPhone or iPad in one tap, and then you find it easily in the Find My app. Then, if the tag is close by, you can play a sound to hunt it down. When it’s outside Bluetooth range, it will ping off other Apple devices and get its general location. The tags come with replaceable batteries that last up to two years, which is great. Also quite nice is that you won’t have to pay for extra accessories because these Ugreen models are designed with a built-in hole for your keyring. So you’re not only saving by not spending $100 on Apple AirTags, but you’re also saving on accessories. Just keep in mind that these trackers only work with iOS devices, so you won’t be able to give one to your Android-using friend. At $19.97 for four, the Ugreen FineTrack Air trackers are a smart pick if you want simple, reliable tracking across your daily essentials.

Hands-on: Satechi’s new color-matched MacBook Neo accessories add ports and extra functionality
A few months back, the MacBook Neo took the tech world by storm, delivering the best-value laptop of 2026. Even after the recent price increase, it remains the most recommended entry-level laptop for most people. And just like Apple’s other cost-effective products, they brought some playful colors into the mix, like Citrus, Blush, Indigo, and Silver, giving these MacBooks a pop of personality and color. But one gripe I had was that most MacBook accessories are color-matched to the traditional silver or space grey colors. That is where Satechi comes in with their new trio of color-matched accessories for the MacBook Neo. They add more ports, connectivity, and functionality without taking away from what makes the Neo visually unique. Here is what you should know!

2027 iPad: Everything we know about Apple’s next entry-level tablet
Macworld Rumors about Apple’s 2027 iPads point to faster chips and potential display improvements across the range, from the iPad Air (updated in March 2026) to the Pro (last updated in October 2025). Yet for most buyers, the most important update may be coming to the most affordable model. The entry-level iPad–Apple’s cheapest tablet and the one aimed at students and families–is reportedly set to receive a performance boost that will finally enable Apple Intelligence features in an update that could arrive in early 2027. The current iPad was released in March 2025, and while it’s a perfectly good iPad for most people, it’s the only iPad that doesn’t support Apple Intelligence. Apple’s 2027 update should address that shortcoming.  Here’s everything you need to know about the new iPad.  What’s new vs 2025 iPad A16: At a glance 2027 iPad predictions2025 iPadLaunch dateEarly 2027March 2025Processor A18 (maybe A19) A16 RAM8GB6GBWi-Fi  Wi-Fi 7 Wi-Fi 6Bluetooth Bluetooth 6Bluetooth 5.3Apple IntelligenceYesNoDesignUnchangedUnchanged 2027 iPad release date: When will Apple launch the next entry-level iPad? Early 2027 launch predicted In a July 2026 report, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman said that Apple has scheduled the release of the entry-level iPad for “as early as the first calendar quarter next year.” Previously, Gurman reported that the new entry-level iPad is “on the roadmap for a release in the iOS 26.4 timeframe, which runs until May.” Apple released iOS 26.4 on March 24, and the iPad was not released. Why the later ship date? It’s possible that Apple needs to ensure sufficient supply of whichever chip it chooses (A18, A19, or A20) and may also be waiting for its Apple Intelligence features to be fully ready. This includes ongoing work to improve next-generation Siri AI, which is part of the iPadOS 27 update that will be released in the fall. A delay is more likely to be strategic than technical. Apple did not update the base iPad during its March 2026 launch event, despite releasing the M4 iPad Air. Holding back the entry-level iPad helps avoid cannibalising sales of more expensive models, and staggered releases like this are typical of Apple’s product strategy. Should you wait? We recommend waiting for the 2027 iPad if you’re considering an upgrade. The next-generation iPad is expected to deliver a meaningful upgrade with a faster chip, more RAM, and support for Apple Intelligence, making it a much more future-proof choice.

Amazon Cuts Up to $500 Off 16-Inch M5 Max MacBook Pro Models, Lowest Prices Since Apple’s MSRP Increase

The 36GB/2TB model is currently $400 below Apple's MSRP, while the higher-end 48GB/2TB version is discounted by $500.

Amazon Drops 512GB MacBook Neo to $689.99, First Major Discount Since Apple’s Price Increase
Amazon is now offering the first major discount we've seen on Apple's 512GB MacBook Neo since the company recently raised prices. The Indigo model is currently available for $689.99, which is about $110 below Apple's new MSRP and the lowest price we've found anywhere for a 512GB Neo. The timing makes this deal particularly interesting. While Apple increased pricing across the Neo lineup, some retailer inventory has yet to fully catch up. As a result, shoppers can still pick up a 512GB MacBook Neo at pricing that effectively undercuts Apple's current retail pricing by a significant margin. The 512GB model remains one of the most attractive configurations in the Neo lineup, offering double the storage of the base model while maintaining the same lightweight design, long battery life, and everyday performance that have made the MacBook Neo so popular. Amazon is also offering fast shipping on available inventory, making this one of the easiest ways to lock in the lower pricing while supplies last.

Amazon Still Has Select 14″ M5 Pro MacBook Pros at Their Old Sale Prices
