Gurman: MacBook Ultra with touchscreen, M6 chip coming this year

Apple is expected to launch new MacBook Pro models later this year featuring a touchscreen OLED display and M6-series chips. The upcoming lineup was initially expected to replace the recently launched M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro models. However, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, that may not be the case. Gurman suggests that the upcoming MacBook could instead carry an Ultra moniker and sit above the M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBooks. While Gurman is unsure whether Apple will adopt the Ultra branding or stick with the traditional Pro name, the upcoming laptop is expected to come with...

Weekly poll results: the Galaxy S26 and S26 Ultra have a fighting chance, the S26+ is dead in the water

The Galaxy S25 series outsold the S24 series, which in turn had outpaced the S23 series a year prior. In short, everything was going great for the S-series. But will this year end its winning streak? Last week’s poll certainly casts shadows of doubt over the success of the new trio. The Samsung Galaxy S26 family Let’s start with the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, which is arguably the model that received the most upgrades. Most of the people who voted in the poll just don’t see it as one of the best flagships on the market. And among those interested in S Ultra phones, most find older...

The Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold's gets a 71% battery boost with Honor's Si/C battery mod

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Z TriFold last December with a 5,600 mAh battery, which is not only lower than that of non-folding smartphones but also lower than that of foldables, as we have seen folding smartphones with battery capacities in the 6,000 mAh range. How's that possible? The answer is Si/C batteries, which Samsung continues to avoid even in 2026. [#InlinePriceWidget,14292,1#] Honor's recently unveiled Magic V6 foldable comes with a 6,600 mAh Si/C battery, and the folks at YouTube channel Strange Parts used Honor's Si/C batteries to increase the Galaxy Z TriFold's battery...

Weekly deals: iPhone 17e, new iPad Air, MacBook Neo, plus new MacBook Air and Pro

This can’t be a coincidence – Apple picked the week of the MWC to drop a number of major announcements. And since most of the developments from the MWC are unlikely to come to the US, let’s look at what Apple has to offer. The new iPhone 17e fixes several major annoyances of the 16e – it has proper MagSafe support now, you get good base storage (256GB), the improved Ceramic Shield 2 has an anti-reflective coating and the chipset was bumped up to an Apple A19. That’s a lot of power for $600! Okay, the 6.1” 60Hz display with a chunky notch isn’t ideal and neither is the single 48MP camera...
