		<description><![CDATA[Samsung this week launched an advertising campaign mocking the display issues some people have had with the <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-duo/">iPhone Duo</a>.<br/>
<br/>
<img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/10/samsung-canada-iphone-duo-ad.jpg" alt="" width="2000" height="1125" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1074722" /><br/>
In an Instagram post on its Canadian account, Samsung shared several images showing a bright line through the spot where &zwnj;iPhone Duo&zwnj; models have been experiencing display problems.<br/>
<br/>
There are three images, each with different text:<br/>
<ul><br/>
 	<li>Folding is nothing new to us</li><br/>
 	<li>Folding. We know a thing or eight.</li><br/>
 	<li>Switch to Galaxy Z Fold8</li><br/>
</ul><br/>
A Samsung spokesperson said it's a "playful new campaign" that taps into the conversation about the "growing rivalry in foldables and how experience plays in the category."<br/>
<br/>
The first Galaxy foldable smartphone came out in September 2019, and the company introduced its <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/07/22/samsung-galaxy-z-fold8/">eighth-generation Galaxy Z Fold8</a> three months ahead of when the &zwnj;iPhone Duo&zwnj; debuted.<br/>
<br/>
Shortly after the &zwnj;iPhone Duo&zwnj; launched, some customers ran into hinge issues that caused <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/23/iphone-duo-screen-cracks/">cracks in the inner display</a>. Affected devices seem to break in the same spot, with a bright line appearing on the <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/macbook-ultra/">OLED</a> screen.<br/>

Apple said it is aware of the issue and that only a small number of &zwnj;iPhone Duo&zwnj; units have a problem. Customers who have a faulty device will see the issue early on, and users with a broken &zwnj;iPhone Duo&zwnj; should contact Apple for a replacement.<br/>
<blockquote>The response to iPhone Duo from early users has been incredibly positive, and we are seeing exciting things from developers who are rapidly updating their apps to take advantage of its unique form factor. We are aware of an issue impacting the inner display on a small number of iPhone Duo units. If users experience issues with their iPhone Duo display, they should contact AppleCare for a replacement.</blockquote><br/>
The &zwnj;iPhone Duo&zwnj; is backordered until January for online orders, though Apple has had some in-store stock available sporadically. There do not appear to be supply issues for the Galaxy Z Fold8, with many colors and capacities delivering on November 3.<br/>
<br/>
Apple's &zwnj;iPhone Duo&zwnj; is priced starting at &#36;1,999 for 256GB of storage, while Samsung is charging &#36;1,899 for the same capacity.<div class="linkback">Related Roundup: <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-duo/">iPhone Duo</a></div><div class="linkback">Tag: <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/samsung/">Samsung</a></div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: <a href="https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#iPhone-Duo">iPhone Duo (Buy Now)</a></div><div class="linkback">Related Forum: <a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/iphone.99">iPhone</a></div><br/>This article, &quot;<a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/30/samsung-iphone-duo-display-campaign/">Samsung Mocks iPhone Duo Display Cracks in New Ad Campaign</a>&quot; first appeared on <a href="https://www.macrumors.com">MacRumors.com</a><br/><br/><a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/samsung-mocks-iphone-duo-display-cracks-in-new-ad-campaign.2493258/">Discuss this article</a> in our forums<br/><br/>]]></description>

<br/>
<div class="center-wrap"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wTUijl6yvzI?si=k8hHvoPHPfzNrIbS" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe><em>Subscribe to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@themacrumorsshow?sub_confirmation=1">The MacRumors Show</a> YouTube channel for more videos</em></div><br/>
The <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/28/apple-new-macbook-pro/">MacBook Pro</a> gains a tandem &zwnj;OLED&zwnj; display with touch support for the first time. Available in 14- and 16-inch sizes, the "PROLED XDR display" offers up to 2,000 nits of peak HDR and SDR brightness, a 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and Adobe RGB support alongside P3. Touch input enables gestures such as scrolling, pinching to zoom, and dragging content, with a reinforced hinge and camera stabilization designed to accommodate interaction with the screen.<br/>
<br/>
A <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/28/apple-brings-dynamic-island-to-mac/">Dynamic Island</a> replaces the notch, providing access to Live Activities, <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/siri/">Siri</a> AI, and more. The enclosure is <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/28/oled-macbook-pro-size-weight/">thinner and lighter</a>, with the 14-inch model weighing 3 pounds and the 16-inch model weighing 4 pounds. The larger model's display grows to 16.3 inches, and the iconic <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/28/illuminated-logo-returns-to-macbook-pro/">illuminated Apple logo</a> returns.<br/>
<br/>
The new models retain the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips introduced earlier this year, but add a redesigned thermal architecture and <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/28/new-macbook-pro-improved-audio/">upgraded speakers</a> with 50% deeper bass and dedicated tuning for closed-lid playback. Maximum storage <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/28/new-macbook-pro-offers-up-to-16tb/">doubles to 16TB</a>. Pricing starts at &#36;2,899 for the 14-inch model and &#36;3,399 for the 16-inch model, a &#36;400 premium over comparable mini-LED configurations.<br/>
<br/>
The new &zwnj;iPad mini&zwnj; moves from an 8.3-inch LCD to an 8.5-inch &zwnj;OLED&zwnj; display, with thinner borders, up to 1,200 nits of peak HDR brightness, and a <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/26/new-ipad-mini-offers-nano-texture-display/">nano-texture option</a> on the 256GB and 512GB configurations. It is thinner and lighter at 5.4mm thick, and becomes the first <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad/">iPad</a> with an official IP67 <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/26/new-ipad-mini-is-first-water-resistant-ipad/">water and dust resistance</a> rating. The display remains limited to 60Hz, with <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/26/new-ipad-mini-still-no-promotion/">no ProMotion support</a>.<br/>
<br/>
The A20 Pro chip brings GPU Neural Accelerators and increased memory bandwidth to the device, with Apple claiming up to 60% faster CPU performance, 2.7 times faster graphics, and 4.5 times faster AI performance than the previous generation. The 512GB configuration has an <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/26/512gb-oled-ipad-mini-extra-cpu-core/">additional CPU core</a> and a second 16-core Neural Engine compared with the 128GB and 256GB models.<br/>
<br/>

		<description><![CDATA[Apple on Wednesday unveiled <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/28/apple-new-macbook-pro/">new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with touch-enabled OLED displays</a>, and more details about them continue to be shared by tech reporters who were invited to Apple's hands-on experience in Los Angeles.<br/>
<br/>
<img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/10/MacBook-Pro-PROLED-XDR-Display.jpg" alt="" width="1600" height="900" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1074684" /><br/>
Nicolas Lellouche of the French website <em>Numerama</em> shared 15 details about the new MacBook Pro models <a href="https://www.numerama.com/tech/2363001-jai-essaye-le-macbook-pro-tactile-en-vrai-et-je-me-pose-beaucoup-de-questions.html">in an article</a> and a <a href="https://x.com/LelloucheNico/status/2115810350180483413">social media post</a>. Some of this information has already surfaced, but he provided a useful summary:<br/>
<br/>
<ul><li>Apple said the keyboard and trackpad remain the primary input methods, with touch input available as an additional option for those who want it.</li><br/>
<li>Apple said there is now a generation of young creators who grew up using touchscreens, so it felt the timing was right to bring the functionality to the Mac.</li><br/>
<li>Apple said music creators prefer touch over trackpads for controlling virtual instruments.</li><br/>
<li>"Traffic light" controls in the top-left corner of macOS windows expand when pressed.</li><br/>
<li>Items in a list become more spaced out when touched.</li><br/>
<li>A swipe up from the bottom of the screen brings up the Dock.</li><br/>
<li>A swipe down from the top of the screen brings up Spotlight/Siri AI.</li><br/>
<li>A long press is equivalent to a right click.</li><br/>
<li>Holding a window and quickly moving it left or right triggers Split View.</li><br/>
<li>If you close your Mac while your finger is touching the display, touch input is temporarily deactivated to prevent accidental touches.</li><br/>
<li>The camera is stabilized so it does not shake on video calls when you touch the screen.</li><br/>
<li>You cannot wake the MacBook Pro by touching the screen.</li><br/>
<li>Multi-touch supports up to 10 fingers at the same time. No word yet on toes (kidding).</li><br/>
<li>Live Activities from iPhone apps can appear in the Dynamic Island.</li><br/>
<li>There are settings that allow you to turn off touch input and the illuminated Apple logo on the MacBook Pro's lid.</li></ul><br/>
<br/>
The new MacBook Pro models can be pre-ordered now and launch Friday, November 6.<div class="linkback">Related Roundup: <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macbook-pro/">MacBook Pro</a></div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: <a href="https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#MacBook_Pro_16">MacBook Pro (Buy Now)</a></div><div class="linkback">Related Forum: <a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/macbook-pro.90">MacBook Pro</a></div><br/>This article, &quot;<a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/30/macbook-pro-proled-xdr-details/">MacBook Pro With Touch Display: 15 More Details Revealed</a>&quot; first appeared on <a href="https://www.macrumors.com">MacRumors.com</a><br/><br/><a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/macbook-pro-with-touch-display-15-more-details-revealed.2493256/">Discuss this article</a> in our forums<br/><br/>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apple faces Russian data retention and disclosure requirements after being added to the country's state surveillance registry, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-10-28/russia-adds-apple-and-microsoft-to-state-surveillance-registry"><em>Bloomberg</em></a> reports.<br/>
<br/>
<img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/10/Black-Apple-Event-Logo.jpeg" alt="" width="2048" height="1152" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1068830" /><br/>
Russia's communications regulator, Roskomnadzor, listed Apple and Microsoft on October 2 as "organizers of information dissemination," a classification that carries obligations to preserve communications and make data available to Russian security agencies.<br/>
<br/>
Those obligations cover correspondence and messages containing audio or video. Companies must also keep information identifying users and recording the transmission of their communications within Russia for three years. Businesses that fail to meet the requirements risk fines and, ultimately, restrictions on their services.<br/>
<br/>
Apple and Microsoft join other services on the registry, including WhatsApp, Telegram, and Snapchat. Google and its Meet video calling service were listed in January.<br/>
<br/>
The designation follows Russia's <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2025/12/04/RUSSIA-BLOCKS-FACETIME/">December 2025 block</a> on <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/facetime/">FaceTime</a>. Roskomnadzor justified that restriction by alleging the service was being used to facilitate terrorism, recruitment, and fraud. Russia had already restricted calling through WhatsApp and Telegram and blocked Signal and Viber.<br/>

		<description><![CDATA[Since late August, Apple has been on an absolute spree, releasing more than 25 new devices and accessories. Quite the start to the <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/09/01/john-ternus-is-now-apple-ceo/">John Ternus era</a>.<br/>

		<description><![CDATA[The developers of Draw Things have <a href="https://releases.drawthings.ai/p/local-code-by-draw-things-open-source">launched Local Code</a>, an open-source AI assistant that lets Mac users download models and put them to work on their own computers.<br/>
<br/>
<img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/10/local-code-mac.jpg" alt="" width="1600" height="900" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1074619" /><br/>
Local Code lets users download an AI model and start working without separately installing the tools it needs. When using a local model, the app processes prompts and files on the Mac rather than sending them to a cloud AI provider.<br/>
<br/>
Local Code can create presentations, generate images and videos, analyze spreadsheets, work with Word and PowerPoint files, and more. It also includes a browser that the assistant can use to navigate websites and complete online tasks.<br/>
<br/>
With the user's permission, the app can read information from Mail, Messages, and Notes, as well as make changes in Calendar and <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/photos/">Photos</a>. According to its <a href="https://github.com/drawthingsai/local-code-community">documentation</a>, Apple's App Sandbox restricts its access to files and other parts of the system.<br/>
<br/>
The app offers Qwen and DeepSeek models for Macs with different amounts of memory. Its <a href="https://getlocalcode.app/">website</a> lists 16GB as the minimum for Qwen 3.8 27B, with recommended downloads taking around 10GB to 21GB of storage. The larger DeepSeek models require downloads of around 89GB or 376GB, depending on the version.<br/>
<br/>
Users can also choose a cloud model, although doing so sends prompts and relevant files to the selected provider. Local use is free, while optional cloud access is available through users' own API keys or prepaid credits starting at &#36;9.99.<br/>
<br/>
Local Code follows a <a href="https://releases.drawthings.ai/p/public-beta-of-local-code-by-draw">public beta</a> that began on September 12. A <a href="https://releases.getlocalcode.app/LocalCode.dmg">direct Mac download</a> is available now, and the developers say a <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/mac-app-store/">Mac App Store</a> release is coming soon.<br/>This article, &quot;<a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/30/local-code-free-private-ai-tool-for-mac/">Local Code Launches as Free, Private AI Assistant Tool for Mac</a>&quot; first appeared on <a href="https://www.macrumors.com">MacRumors.com</a><br/><br/><a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/local-code-launches-as-free-private-ai-assistant-tool-for-mac.2493234/">Discuss this article</a> in our forums<br/><br/>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today is <a href="https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-homepod/homepod-mini">HomePod mini 2</a> launch day, with the first pre-orders beginning to arrive to customers and the speaker now available to purchase at most Apple Store locations around the world. In the U.S., the HomePod mini 2 is priced at &#36;149, with <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/29/homepod-mini-2-two-tone-colors/">two-tone pink, green, and blue color options</a> available alongside white and midnight.<br/>
<br/>

Here is what is new with the HomePod mini 2:<ul><br/>
<li>Siri AI support is coming <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/13/homepod-mini-2-siri-ai-coming-later/">in a future software update</a>, with an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone or iPad required for requests involving your personal context.</li><br/>
<li>S10 chip, up from the S5 chip for the previous model. Apple said the S10 chip enables "advanced computational audio," but it did not explicitly confirm if the HomePod mini 2 has improved sound quality compared to the original model.</li><br/>
<li>Wi-Fi 6E support, up from Wi-Fi 4 for the previous model.</li><br/>
<li>Bluetooth 6 support, up from Bluetooth 5 for the previous model.</li><br/>
<li><a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/13/homepod-mini-2-default-mac-speaker/">Default audio output</a> support <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/13/homepod-mini-2-default-mac-speaker/">on Macs with Wi-Fi 6E and later</a>.

<li>Sound Glow: the top area glows and pulses in sync with the music playing. This feature has also been <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/26/apple-homepod-software-27-2/">added to the original HomePod mini</a>.</li><br/>
<li><a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/13/new-apple-tv-4k-four-homepods-surround-sound/">Four-speaker surround sound</a> with the new Apple TV 4K: connect four HomePod mini 2 and/or full-sized HomePod 2 speakers in front and rear pairs.

</li><br/>
<li>Three microphones for Siri, down from four in the previous model. It is unclear if users will notice this difference.</li><br/>
<li><a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/29/homepod-mini-2-two-tone-colors/">Two-tone pink, green, and blue color options</a>, along with white and midnight.</li><br/>

		<description><![CDATA[Filmmaker Rian Johnson, best known for writing and directing "Knives Out," "Glass Onion," and "Star Wars: The Last Jedi," has seen his new iPhone photography app <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/chromagraph-camera/id6803329435">Chromagraph Camera</a> climb to the top of the paid <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/app-store/">App Store</a> charts after attracting attention on social media this week.<br/>
<br/>
<img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/10/iPhone-18-Pro-Max-Glacier-Camera.jpg" alt="" width="1600" height="900" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1068468" /><br/>
Johnson developed the app with his longtime cinematographer Steve Yedlin and programmer Eric Cameron, bringing image processing techniques from their films to iPhone still photography. Chromagraph currently ranks No. 1 in Photo & Video on the <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/chromagraph-camera/id6803329435">U.S. App Store</a>.<br/>
<br/>
Johnson's announcement on X accumulated six million views within a day, while users have been sharing their results, with some photo posts attracting thousands of likes.<br/>
<br/>
<div class="center-wrap"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><a href="https://twitter.com/rianjohnson/status/2115436064458621189"></a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div><br/>
<br/>
Chromagraph shoots RAW photos and processes them using techniques Yedlin developed for his films, giving pictures a distinctive treatment of color, contrast, and grain. It also adds halation, a soft glow around bright areas. Users can adjust the look with controls for color, tone, and texture.<br/>
<br/>
The effect appears after taking a photo, when users open the app's gallery. Original RAW files are kept intact, so edits can be changed later.<br/>
<br/>
For sharing, photographs can be exported as JPEG or HEIC files with the processing applied. An automatic export option also sends each finished photo to the user's photo library.<br/>
<br/>
Chromagraph Camera costs &#36;12.99 as a one-time purchase on the <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/chromagraph-camera/id6803329435">App Store</a> and requires iOS 17 or later.<br/>This article, &quot;<a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/30/rian-johnson-iphone-camera-app/">Rian Johnson&#039;s iPhone Camera App Goes Viral</a>&quot; first appeared on <a href="https://www.macrumors.com">MacRumors.com</a><br/><br/><a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/rian-johnsons-iphone-camera-app-goes-viral.2493228/">Discuss this article</a> in our forums<br/><br/>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apple allocated roughly 80% of its initial iPhone Duo inventory to its retail stores, with locations holding as few as 50 units each, according to <em>Bloomberg</em>'s Mark Gurman. <br/>
<br/>
<img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/09/iphone-duo-colors.jpg" alt="" width="1600" height="899" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1063421" /><br/>
Speaking on the latest episode of his <a href="https://omny.fm/shows/power-on-with-mark-gurman/apple-embraces-a-touchscreen-macbook-iphone-duo-crackgate">Power On podcast</a>, Gurman, citing people very close to the device's logistics, said most customers who bought a Duo in store on day one got one by <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/23/iphone-duo-long-lines-at-apple-stores/">waiting in line</a>. <br/>
<br/>
Flagship stores were said to have held up to around 250 units, and Fifth Avenue was stocked unusually heavily because Apple executives attended the launch. The inventory split helps explain why <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/23/iphone-duo-apple-store-pickup-available-today/">pre-orders slipped to late January</a> within minutes on October 16, while most people who queued on launch day walked away with a new phone.<br/>
<br/>
At the time, Apple described demand as "nothing short of extraordinary" and said it was working to satisfy demand "as quickly as possible," so there's a good chance that, even if a delivery estimate for your order is way out in the future, it could improve over time.<br/>

		<description><![CDATA[Apple's new OLED touchscreen MacBook Pro could ship between 1.2 million and 1.5 million units in 2027, according to a new forecast from market intelligence firm <a href="https://www.trendforce.com/presscenter/news/20261029-13287.html">TrendForce</a>.<br/>
<br/>
<img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/10/macbook-pro-proled-blue.jpeg" alt="" width="2500" height="1406" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1074409" /><br/>
<a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/28/apple-new-macbook-pro/">Announced on Wednesday</a>, the new MacBook Pro is the first to feature a tandem OLED touchscreen, with pricing starting at &#36;2,899 for the 14-inch model and &#36;3,399 for the 16-inch model. Pre-orders are available now, with a launch coming on Friday, November 6. <br/>
<br/>
Given that Apple is selling the OLED models alongside its existing mini-LED MacBook Pro lineup, TrendForce says that the premium starting price could temper near-term replacement demand.<br/>
<br/>
Even so, the firm expects Apple's arrival in the OLED laptop market to accelerate the market landscape more broadly. Up until now, it has been driven mainly by Windows brands such as Lenovo, HP, and ASUS. <br/>
<br/>
The overall laptop market has been contracting for two consecutive years, but TrendForce forecasts OLED laptop shipments will grow nearly 40% year-over-year in 2026, followed by another increase of more than 40% in 2027, with brands increasingly prioritizing OLED models in their product roadmaps.<br/>
<br/>
Samsung Display is currently the <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/07/28/samsung-name-its-price-macbook-pro-oled/">exclusive panel supplier</a> for the new MacBook Pro. The company has designated Phase 1 of its G8.6 A6 production line at its Asan campus in South Korea as a dedicated facility for Apple, and the MacBook Pro is the first product to enter mass production on Samsung Display's G8.6 fine metal mask (FMM) OLED line. The display's tandem OLED architecture and 254 PPI pixel density impose exceptionally demanding production requirements, particularly in material costs and manufacturing yields, notes TrendForce.<br/>
<br/>
<img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/10/trendforce-oled-notebook-market-2026-2030.jpg" alt="" width="1080" height="560" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1074533" /><br/>
Meanwhile, rival panel makers are conducting qualification programs, but TrendForce believes the cost of meeting Apple's specifications and Samsung Display's established position present considerable barriers to entry. LG Display, BOE, and TCL CSOT are instead said to be directing their efforts toward the supply chain for the OLED MacBook Air, which isn't expected to debut <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/03/11/macbook-air-oled-display-2028/">until at least 2028</a>.<div class="linkback">Related Roundup: <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macbook-pro/">MacBook Pro</a></div><div class="linkback">Tag: <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/trendforce/">TrendForce</a></div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: <a href="https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#MacBook_Pro_16">MacBook Pro (Buy Now)</a></div><div class="linkback">Related Forum: <a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/macbook-pro.90">MacBook Pro</a></div><br/>This article, &quot;<a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/30/oled-macbook-pro-1-5m-shipments-2027/">Apple&#039;s Touchscreen MacBook Pro Could Ship 1.5M Units in 2027</a>&quot; first appeared on <a href="https://www.macrumors.com">MacRumors.com</a><br/><br/><a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apples-touchscreen-macbook-pro-could-ship-1-5m-units-in-2027.2493217/">Discuss this article</a> in our forums<br/><br/>]]></description>

<br/>
<img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/10/Apple-TV-4K-4th-Generation-Top-View5.jpg" alt="" width="2500" height="1406" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1070637" /><br/>
As expected, the new Apple TV 4K with the A19 chip is equipped with 8GB of RAM, while the new iPad mini with the A20 Pro chip has 12GB of RAM.<br/>
<br/>
For good measure, Xcode shows the iPhone Duo is equipped with 12GB of RAM.<br/>
<br/>
None of these RAM amounts are surprising, but Apple does not list this information in its tech specs for these devices, so they are worth confirming.<br/>
<br/>
An industrywide memory chip shortage has led to skyrocketing prices for RAM and storage chips, resulting in <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/06/25/apple-explains-why-it-raised-prices/">Apple raising prices this year</a> across many products, including iPhones, iPads, Macs, HomePods, the Apple TV 4K, and more.<div class="linkback">Related Roundups: <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-tv/">Apple TV</a>, <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-mini/">iPad mini</a>, <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-duo/">iPhone Duo</a></div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: <a href="https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#Apple_TV">Apple TV (Buy Now)</a>, <a href="https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#iPad_Mini">iPad Mini (Buy Now)</a>, <a href="https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#iPhone-Duo">iPhone Duo (Buy Now)</a></div><div class="linkback">Related Forums: <a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/apple-tv-and-home-theater.100">Apple TV and Home Theater</a>, <a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/ipad.137">iPad</a>, <a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/iphone.99">iPhone</a></div><br/>This article, &quot;<a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/29/new-apple-tv-4k-ipad-mini-ram-amounts/">New Apple TV 4K and iPad Mini: RAM Amounts Revealed</a>&quot; first appeared on <a href="https://www.macrumors.com">MacRumors.com</a><br/><br/><a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/new-apple-tv-4k-and-ipad-mini-ram-amounts-revealed.2493199/">Discuss this article</a> in our forums<br/><br/>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While the <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/26/apple-announces-ipad-mini-with-oled-display/">new iPad mini</a> has an OLED display, the device does not support ProMotion, meaning the display's refresh rate is limited to 60Hz instead of 120Hz.<br/>
<br/>
<img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/10/iPad-mini-OLED-feature-1.jpg" alt="" width="2324" height="1307" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1073139" /><br/>
ProMotion support would have allowed for the iPad mini's refresh rate to automatically adjust from 10Hz to 120Hz depending on the content being displayed, but evidently Apple has kept the feature exclusive to the iPad Pro among iPad models for now.<br/>
<br/>
In an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcLlAZu7Q-k">interview</a> with YouTuber and podcaster Christopher Lawley, Apple's vice president of hardware design David Pakula commented on the new iPad mini lacking 120Hz support, noting that its OLED display still has significantly faster pixel response times compared to the previous model with an LCD, resulting in reduced motion blur. <br/>
<br/>
<div class="center-wrap"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BcLlAZu7Q-k?si=qMsGxqF8XGGE7Rup" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></div><br/>
"Display experience is about more than just a single spec," said Pakula. "One of the things that's really cool about OLED is it actually has this really fast pixel response time. So it's like more than an order of magnitude faster than the pixel response time for an LCD display. And what that does is it makes everything really smooth. Motion blur is significantly reduced compared to LCD. When you pair that with the other things that I mentioned, the contrast, the brightness, and the color, this is just a killer display."<br/>
<br/>
Apple says the new iPad mini can achieve a maximum brightness of 600 nits for standard content, up from 500 nits for the previous model, and up to 1,200 nits for HDR content. OLED technology allows for higher contrast and more vivid colors, as there is no backlight and individual pixels turn off completely to display true black. <br/>
<br/>
Apple's tech specs indicate the new iPad mini has a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio. The display still has 326 pixels per inch and P3 wide color support.<br/>
<br/>
The new iPad mini is <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/28/apple-8-new-products-available-for-pre-order/">available to pre-order now</a>, with U.S. pricing starting at &#36;699, and the device launches on Friday, November 6.<div class="linkback">Related Roundup: <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-mini/">iPad mini</a></div><div class="linkback">Tag: <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/promotion/">ProMotion</a></div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: <a href="https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#iPad_Mini">iPad Mini (Buy Now)</a></div><div class="linkback">Related Forum: <a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/ipad.137">iPad</a></div><br/>This article, &quot;<a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/29/apple-executive-on-ipad-mini-lacking-120hz/">Apple Executive Comments on New iPad Mini Lacking 120Hz Display</a>&quot; first appeared on <a href="https://www.macrumors.com">MacRumors.com</a><br/><br/><a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-executive-comments-on-new-ipad-mini-lacking-120hz-display.2493184/">Discuss this article</a> in our forums<br/><br/>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/homepod-mini/">HomePod mini 2</a> is launching tomorrow (or in a few hours in Australia and New Zealand) and a new hands-on video from Craig's Tech Talk gives a clear look at the two-tone color design Apple added with some of the color options.<br/>
<br/>

For the pink, blue, and green <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/homepod/">HomePod</a> mini models, the two layers of acoustic fabric are different colors. In pink, the outer layer is a light pink and the inner fabric is more of a coral. For the blue &zwnj;HomePod mini 2&zwnj;, the mesh is blue and the fabric underneath is green. The green &zwnj;HomePod mini 2&zwnj; has the green color outside and blue underneath, so it's the opposite of the blue model.<br/>
<br/>
You can get a close-up look at the colors at the one-minute mark in the video.<br/>

<br/>
The midnight and white &zwnj;HomePod mini 2&zwnj; options also have a bit of a two-tone look, but it is more subtle than the pink, blue, and green models.<br/>
<br/>
Apple's original &zwnj;HomePod&zwnj; mini also used a mesh fabric, but it did not have a two-tone color look.<div class="linkback">Related Roundup: <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/homepod-mini/">HomePod mini 2</a></div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: <a href="https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#Homepod-Mini">HomePod Mini (Buy Now)</a></div><div class="linkback">Related Forum: <a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/homepod-homeview-carplay-–-home-auto-tech.193">HomePod, HomeView, CarPlay – Home & Auto Tech</a></div><br/>This article, &quot;<a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/29/homepod-mini-2-two-tone-colors/">Here&#039;s a Hands-On Look at HomePod Mini 2&#039;s New Two-Tone Colors</a>&quot; first appeared on <a href="https://www.macrumors.com">MacRumors.com</a><br/><br/><a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/heres-a-hands-on-look-at-homepod-mini-2s-new-two-tone-colors.2493177/">Discuss this article</a> in our forums<br/><br/>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apple is <a href="https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=w9mxlhek">lowering the commission</a> that it collects in Taiwan to 26 percent, down from 30 percent. Apple plans to drop the rate for in-app purchase and paid app transactions on the iOS and iPadOS Taiwan storefront starting on October 31.<br/>
<br/>
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1060057" src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/08/apple-app-store-ios.jpg" alt="" width="2000" height="1125" /><br/>
The commission update comes after Apple held discussions with the Taiwan Fair Trade Commission (TFTC). In a statement to <em>MacRumors</em>, Apple said the fee reduction reflects its ongoing commitment to developers. <blockquote>We're making updates to the Taiwan storefront of the App Store following constructive discussions with the Taiwan Fair Trade Commission. These changes reflect our ongoing commitment to providing developers with a thriving marketplace and ensuring the App Store remains the safest, most trusted platform for users. We will continue to equip developers with the tools, resources, and support they need to build, grow, and scale successful businesses on the App Store.</blockquote>Apple <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2025/12/17/japan-app-store-feature-updates/">previously adopted</a> the 26 percent commission rate in Japan and <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/18/eu-app-store-fee-change/">the European Union</a>. Apple also negotiated a <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/03/13/apple-cut-app-store-developer-fees-china/">25 percent commission</a> in China after discussions with China's State Administration for Market Regulation.<br/>
<br/>
Apple normally charges a lower rate for Small Business Program members, but the announcement about the Taiwan commission changes doesn't include that information.<div class="linkback">Tags: <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/app-store/">App Store</a>, <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/taiwan/">Taiwan</a></div><br/>This article, &quot;<a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10/29/app-store-fees-taiwan/">Apple Lowers App Store Fees in Taiwan Starting October 31</a>&quot; first appeared on <a href="https://www.macrumors.com">MacRumors.com</a><br/><br/><a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-lowers-app-store-fees-in-taiwan-starting-october-31.2493174/">Discuss this article</a> in our forums<br/><br/>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Amazon's &#36;9 pre-order discount on the HomeView has returned for the Space Gray color, allowing you to get the home hub for <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HMXB9J9K?tag=macrumors-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1&gaOptInStatus=false&optOutTS=1789061426122"><strong>&#36;289.99</strong></a>, down from &#36;299.00.<br/>
<br/>
<img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/10/Apple-HomeView-lineup-feature1.jpg" alt="" width="2500" height="1406" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1070614" /><em><small>Note: MacRumors is an affiliate partner with some of these vendors. When you click a link and make a purchase, we may receive a small payment, which helps us keep the site running.</small></em><br/>
<br/>
Although only a &#36;9 discount, this is still biggest deal we've seen on the HomeView, and as of writing only Amazon is offering any sort of discount on the device. Amazon's delivery estimates have begun stretching into late November, past the HomeView's launch date of November 13.<br/>
<br/>
<div class="center-wrap"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HMXB9J9K?tag=macrumors-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1&gaOptInStatus=false&optOutTS=1789061426122"target="_blank"><div class="fancybutton"><div class="fancybadge">&#36;9 OFF</div>HomeView for &#36;289.99</div></a></div><br/>
<br/>
In terms of pre-order discounts, Amazon also has the new Apple TV 4K for <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HMX69N2K?tag=macrumors-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1&gaOptInStatus=false&optOutTS=1789061426122"><strong>&#36;289.99</strong></a>, down from &#36;299.00, with an estimated delivery date on launch day of November 13. This beats Apple's current delivery estimates, which have slipped into late November/early December, so it's a great chance to save a little money and get the Apple TV 4K on the 13th.<br/>
