Macworld At a glance Our VerdictThe MacBook Air with M2 is a significant improvement over its predecessor. It offers better performance, a more modern design, an improved display and some small but excellent improvements. There will be many for whom the older model is more than adequate, but the newer model costs just $100/£100 more and offers so much more value for money so it is our recommendation.

Macworld June was a very good month for the Mac. Not only did we get to see the next version of macOS in Sonoma, but we also got a new 15-inch MacBook Air that’ll be a hit, a Mac Studio update, the M2 Ultra chip, and to top it all off, we finally got a new Apple silicon Mac Pro. That’s a whole lot of Mac goodness, which is great because they might need to hold us over for a while. Based on projected chip production schedules and the current state of the Mac lineup, it’s very possible that the only Mac news we’re going to get between now and the first few months of 2024 is the release of…

Apple’s stock has split five times since the company went public. The stock split on a 4-for-1 basis on August 28, 2020, a 7-for-1 basis on June 9, 2014, and split on a 2-for-1 basis on February 28, 2005, June 21, 2000, and June 16, 1987. In each of the five times that Apple has split its stock, it was undergoing strong growth in sales and profitability, save for the split in the year 2000, when sales dipped between the dot-com bust and the release of the iPod in October 2001. It has been nearly four years since Apple’s last stock split. In the last two splits, the company appears to have intended to bring the share price down to…

Apple’s latest Mac Pro targets professionals with highly demanding computing workloads. But we talked to those professionals, and they don’t want it — because Apple’s other computers are just too good. Apple’s latest Mac Pro was finally revealed at this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference as a machine for the most power user of power users. The video discussed audio engineering, color grading, and video transcoding. Apple’s product page mentions code compiling, animation, compositing 8K scenes, 3D rendering, and “analyzing enormous datasets.” This isn’t just for pros, Apple seems to claim; it’s for capital-P Pros. Exactly who these pros are and why the Mac Pro is the perfect device for them remains somewhat unclear to me, even after testing the new…
