Apple has officially unveiled macOS 27 Golden Gate, the next major update for the Mac, bringing Apple’s next-generation Apple Intelligence platform to compatible devices. The update introduces an all-new Siri AI assistant, major upgrades to apps including Safari, Photos, Messages, Mail and Calendar, as well as expanded child safety features, design refinements and performance improvements throughout the operating system.

Golden Gate continues Apple’s tradition of naming macOS releases after iconic Californian landmarks. Among the headline additions are Siri AI, a completely redesigned version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence, new AI-powered tools across Apple’s apps, enhanced photo editing capabilities, smarter web browsing in Safari, and new automation features that make it easier to get things done on a Mac.

macOS 27 will be supported on all Macs powered by Apple silicon, marking the end of the road for Intel-based Macs. While Intel models are no longer eligible for the new operating system, Apple is expected to continue providing security updates for those devices for some time.

The developer and public betas of macOS 27 are available now. Following several months of testing, Apple is expected to release the finished version to all users this autumn. This hub covers everything Apple has announced for macOS 27 Golden Gate, including new features, compatibility details, beta release information, Apple Intelligence enhancements and the all-new Siri AI experience.

Thanks to a video accidentally included in the macOS 26.7 beta, we got our first real confirmation that Apple is, as rumored, working on AirPods with cameras in them. Despite the video and references being found in such a recent beta, we’re assured that this product isn’t actually shipping until next year.

Now, thanks to an eagle-eyed member of the MacRumors forums, we have some idea of the capabilities of the in-development AirPods with cameras. The user found a framework called “AccessorySensorManager” that provides some details of how these things might work.

First, it appears that the AirPods do not take images for you to save. Instead, they send still images in the background for Visual Intelligence to process, but nothing gets saved to your Photos app or anything like that.

The cameras seemingly operate in two modes: active and passive. Active mode is when a request is made (such as asking Siri), and each earbud captures a 640×640 image and returns a 1024×1024 processed image to your iPhone. In Passive mode, the cameras take really low-resolution 320×320 or 512×512 images at a continuous rate. While the framework focuses on standard color images, there may be other capabilities not listed, such as infrared spectrum captures.

Passive mode seems to be for background environment detection…to see if there’s a person in front of you, if you moved to a busy street, and so on. The actual camera sensors may be higher resolution, but for a variety of reasons (bandwidth, battery life, processing speed, etc.) Apple seems to be using lower-res images.

There’s mention of some processing capabilities such as lens distortion correction, dual camera calibration, and compensation for head motion. While the earbuds can take multiple images in a series, there is no video recording. The framework includes control for a hardware indicator and its brightness, which likely means that both earbuds will have some sort of recording light.

This is all subject to change, of course, especially since these AirPods aren’t expected to arrive until next fall. Test features revealed in beta frameworks are sometimes incomplete or don’t take into account later optimizations or hardware changes.

According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is laying off and “realigning” several employees in multiple departments in order to “focus on new devices and artificial intelligence.” About 200 employees are affected.

The Vision Pro team has eliminated 100 jobs, with most of the cuts happening in teams focused on gaming and immersive video, according to the report. Bloomberg says employees were told that the changes are being made to better address how the Vision Pro is being used by its customers. Immersive video, in particular, is an expensive endeavor that has “strained the business given the limited number of active Vision Pro users.”

The other 100 eliminated jobs were from the Siri and software teams. With the shift from Siri as a voice-activated interface to the new Siri AI, Apple needs to redefine the Siri team with “a change in the necessary expertise.” Apple is also reorganizing its Intelligent Systems Experience team to focus its efforts on AI.

In response to the report, Apple released the following statement to Bloomberg:

While we will create new roles as part of this change, it will also impact a limited number of existing roles. We are grateful to these team members for their contributions, and we are committed to supporting them throughout their transition, including opportunities to apply for other roles at Apple.

Apple statement released to Bloomberg

While job cuts are never a good sign, no one would be surprised by Apple’s reasoning behind them. The Vision Pro was released over two years ago (with an M5 update in October 2025), and if it has made an impact, it’s in specific niche markets–it has not made an impression with the general public. Reports have said that Apple shifted its focus from developing a low-cost Vision Pro headset to smart glasses that would compete with the likes of Meta.

The only thing surprising about the layoffs with the Siri team is that they didn’t happen sooner. Siri AI has been in development for quite some time now, so a reorganization seems to be part of the process.

If you’re looking for a new laptop for back-to-school or just want to upgrade an old model, you can grab one of Apple’s best MacBook Pro configurations for a whopping $400 off at B&H right now. The specs are impressive—an M5 Pro processor, 48GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage for just $2,899, an excellent price to pay if you’re looking for a machine that will last for years to come.

Running on the M5 Pro chip with its 18-core CPU and 20-Core GPU, this laptop is an absolute powerhouse. Every one of those GPU cores packs a Neural Accelerator, so if your work is AI-heavy, this MacBook is more than ready to handle it all. Pair that with 48GB of unified memory, and this laptop breezes through demanding workloads without breaking a sweat.

Whether you want to edit 4K footage, juggle massive image libraries, compile large codebases, or mix hundreds of audio tracks at once, this MacBook Pro can do it all. And with all-day battery life and a super-fast 1TB SSD, you’ll be able to work on giant files and videos wherever you are. And if you need more, you can attach a Thunderbolt 5 drive that’ll feel just as fast.

Of course, the 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display is one you’ll love looking at for long hours. With 1,600 nits of peak brightness, a billion colors, and super-accurate shades, there’s nothing not to love about this display, no matter how bright the room is.

So whether you’re a pro or a student, this laptop is a powerful machine at a fantastic price. At $2,899, a full $400 off, the M5 Pro MacBook Pro delivers serious power, a stunning display, and all-day battery life in a portable package built to last.

Every sensible MacBook owner recognizes that while their prized laptop can put up with the odd bump and nudge against a hard edge, it makes sense to protect it while on the move. That might mean picking one of the best MacBook backpacks or other carrying kit, but it might just be choosing a tight padded sleeve for it to nestle in, saving it from unintended impacts and possible scratches.

Another big danger for a MacBook outside the office or home is water. MacBooks are not water-resistant as Apple doesn’t build any ingress protection (IP) ratings into its laptops as it does its iPhone (IP68). I recently dived into a swimming pool with my iPhone 16 Pro in my pocket. I didn’t panic too much but I knew there was a possibility that damage could have been done despite the water-protection ranking.

Your backpack might be water resistant, but damage can still be done if water still gets into your laptop or other devices. Now a clever multi-function solution might just save your very wet day. UAG’s Dryout Ultimate Sleeve might rescue your MacBook, iPad, keyboard or storage device before any invasive moisture has more time to cause damage.

How to use the UAG Dryout Sleeve to dry your laptop

The sleeve is a secondary drying aid designed to draw out residual moisture; it is not a substitute for immediately shutting down, unplugging and draining the MacBook first.

1. Shut down the MacBook immediately. Don’t keep using it to check whether it still works.
2. Disconnect it from power and unplug any accessories. Electricity combined with moisture increases the risk of a short circuit and permanent damage.
3. Turn the MacBook keyboard-side down to help liquid drain out. Avoid shaking it, which could spread moisture further inside.
4. Wipe away visible liquid from the keyboard, case and ports with a clean, absorbent cloth.
5. Now place the MacBook inside the UAG Dryout Sleeve and close it so the moisture-removal material can work.
6. Leave the MacBook switched off while it dries. UAG recommends leaving it in the Dryout Sleeve for around 3–9 hours, but after a significant spill you should be prepared to keep the MacBook powered off for at least 24 hours.

Ways in which moisture can get into and damage your laptop

Desk accidents—such as beverage or vase spills—or working too close to a water source, for instance in a kitchen or even by a swimming pool, can too easily cause a gadget emergency. Weather exposure, where you are caught in heavy rain or snow while carrying your gear in a vulnerable bag, is an obvious situation we’ve all been in. Few of us, however, consider the dangers of condensation—bringing your cold laptop into a warm, humid room can cause moisture droplets to form inside. I hate to mention it, but excessive sweating can also cause moisture to invade your tech gear, so maybe towel off after a workout, and certainly following a swim, before leaning over your laptop.

Keys are not airtight so liquid can flow directly through the key switches into the chassis. Side ports, such as USB and HDMI, provide a straight path to internal boards. Even vents for cooling fans and hinges can let moisture seep inside if placed on a wet surface or exposed to heavy rain.

Moisture inside your tech can cause short circuits that fry sensitive chips, and corrosion that eats away at metal circuits over time.

Can a laptop survive a water spill?

Yes, if you act fast. Good advice is to shut it down immediately and unplug from power (it’s electricity that causes the permanent damage), then flip the device upside down to drain what liquid you can. You should be prepared to leave it turned off for at least 24 hours.

UAG’s new Dryout accessories are a secondary solution that can be reused unlike many older one-use emergency kits.

After you’ve powered off your device, and turned it keyboard down to release the closest trapped water, you can wipe any excess water from the keyboard and the device’s exterior with a cloth before slipping your laptop inside the UAG DRYOUT Sleeve to get the integrated technology to work.

How does Dryout Active Moisture-Removal Technology work?

UAG claims its Dryout products actively pull moisture away and trap it into an absorbent core. Depending on the temperature, you might have to leave the device in the sleeve for between 3 and 9 hours.

Once dry, the Sleeve resets with sunlight, direct heat, or forced airflow with a hairdryer, so it’s reusable when you need it next time.

What it looks like

The black-only Dryout Sleeve is a good-looking and protective sleeve even in normal dry conditions, including an Atilon foam layer and soft Nylex fleece interior that absorb impact and protect against scratches. It includes handy low-profile tote handles and an extra stretch mesh front pocket.

It fits up to 16-inch laptops so is suitable from the 13-inch MacBook Neo to the top-end 16-inch Pro. UAG also claims it will work as well with other similarly sized electronics such as tablets, detachable keyboards, and external drives.

Weighing 0.37lbs (168g), the sleeve measures 15.75 x 11.8 x 1.2 inches (400 x 300 x 30mm).

For other MacBook sleeve alternatives, check out the best bags for MacBook in our wider feature.

Other laptop drying solutions

The $70 (£63) Ultimate Laptop Sleeve is part of a wider UAG Dryout range that includes a $35/£27 Phone Recovery Pouch (also good for smaller devices such as smartwatches and AirPods), $170/£128 Backpack (22L), $140/£106 Rolltop (18L), $140/£106 Tote, and $55/£38 Sling (large enough for an iPad or over-ear headphones).

For MacBooks the Sleeve is the simplest fully closed solution but the bags that incorporate the Dryout tech offer extra interior storage.

You can buy cheaper laptop sleeves but none with the active moisture-removal feature of the Dryout. It’s also a neat, practical protective sleeve in its own right, and we recommend MacBook owners travel with a padded sleeve regardless of possible water damage.

If you are going to protect your MacBook from bangs and knocks by placing it in a sleeve, the drying-out function here is an extra insurance against technical calamity if you think you might enter risky environments.

Best Prices Today: Satechi ChargeView 240W Desktop Charger

We’ve all got USB wall chargers incongruously sticking out of our power sockets, and some boast multiple ports to handle our many devices crying out for power.

The Satechi 145W USB-C 4-Port wall charger, reviewed in our travel charger section below, has four USB-C ports. The Ugreen Nexode Pro 160W 5-Port USB-C wall charger has four USB-C and a USB-A port but try to stick anything larger in your plug socket and it will likely take your wall out if it gets a knock. If you are frequently pulling out charging cables for new devices, anything over three ports is about the limit for wall-charger stability.

You’ll get higher power and more ports from a desktop charger that plugs into the socket with a cable rather than directly with plug pins incorporated into the wall charger itself. Resting on your desk it should cover all your device charging requirements.

Satechi had a 6-Port USB-C GaN Charger that could handle a total of 200W and has now updated this with its new 6-port ChargeView 240W Desktop Charger. This has the same six USB-C ports but more power to share between them. It also has a 4-port ChargeView 140W Desktop Charger for those with fewer devices to charge at the same time.

How much can the ChargeView power per port?

All of the ChargeView’s ports are USB-C. If you still have older devices that require a legacy USB-A port, you need to look at some of the other best desktop USB-C chargers we’ve tested.

Two of the USB-C ports support PD 3.2 for 140W charging. This is what the 16-inch MacBook Pro demands for fast charging. Two more support 100W each, and the final two can output 30W.

Of course, you invest in a desktop charger for its multiple port combinations.

As the maximum power output is 240W you can’t use the two 140W ports with each at full power. Instead the most you’ll get is 140W+100W, and really any other combination: 100W+100W, 140W+30W, 100W+30W, 100W+100W, and 30W+30W, for example.

Three ports in use at the same time gets more interesting, with possibilities such as 100W+100W+40W, 100W+70W+70W, 100W+100W+30W, 100W+30W+30W. These combinations allow for a 14-inch MacBook Pro plus an iPhone and an iPad all to be fast-charged at the same time, or a MacBook Pro and two MacBook Airs.

Want to simultaneously fast-charge a MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, an iPad Pro and an iPhone? The ChargeView 240W has you covered using four of its ports. You could charge 100W+70W+40W+30W, for example.

Using five of the charging ports at the same time allows for 100W+70W+30W+20W+20W. That’s enough to fast-charge a MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iPad, and two iPhones all at the same time.

The ChargeView 240W is maxed out using all six of its ports at 70W+70W+30W+30W+20W+20W, so you can fast-charge two MacBook Airs, and four iPad/iPhones in any combination you desire. If you can cope with slightly slower charging, you could keep four MacBooks operational plus a couple of iPhones.

You can see that the ChargeView 240W has enough power and ports to keep up with the needs of a bank of desks in the office, or controlling a busy studio.

With the 4-port ChargeView 140W, again two of the ports support the highest 140W PD 3.2 with the other two rated at 40W.

Use two at the same time for 100W+40W, 70W+70W, or just 20W+20W.

Three can handle 70W+40W+30W, or 65W+45W+30W, and all four at the same time for 65W+40W+20W+15W.

40W is enough to keep even a MacBook Pro humming along unless under intense performance demands. 20W is fine for iPad/iPhone fast charging, as well as keeping a MacBook Neo happy. 15W is not as fast as an iPhone would demand for fast charging but it will still get an iPhone from 0-50% in around 40 minutes.

Rather than thinking in watts, here’s what those power combinations mean in Apple devices:

Ports in use	What you can charge at once	What to expect
1	16-inch MacBook Pro	Up to 140W, enough for full-speed fast charging on compatible 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
2	16-inch MacBook Pro + MacBook Air	Both can charge quickly; the Pro can get up to 140W and the Air up to 100W depending on the ports used.
3	14-inch MacBook Pro + 2 MacBook Airs	Enough power for three MacBooks simultaneously, with around 100W/70W/70W available in one supported configuration.
3	MacBook Pro + iPad Pro + iPhone	Plenty of power for the MacBook plus fast charging for both mobile devices.
4	MacBook Pro + MacBook Air + iPad Pro + iPhone	All four can charge rapidly at once; a typical split is 100W/70W/40W/30W.
5	MacBook Pro + MacBook Air + iPad + 2 iPhones	A very practical five-device setup, with enough power to fast-charge the laptops and mobile devices simultaneously.
6	2 MacBook Airs + 2 iPads + 2 iPhones	All six devices can charge at once. The two Airs can each receive 70W, while the remaining four devices share 100W.
6	4 MacBooks + 2 iPhones	Possible, but some of the MacBooks will charge more slowly; this is better for keeping them powered than simultaneously fast-charging all four.

How smart is the charger when working with multiple devices?

PD 3.1 brought in possible power output up to 240W, but 140W is the highest any of your devices are likely to require. The ChargeView is rated for PD 3.2 that refines protocol efficiencies, expands Adjustable Voltage Supply (AVS) to lower standard ranges, and adds support for advanced features such as peak current handling and Qi2 wireless integration.

The two 140W PD 3.2 ports employ AVS to automatically adjust voltage to deliver efficient, reliable power for the latest iPhone devices (iPhone 17 and later). It uses 100mV steps designed for high-efficiency, higher-power ranges up to 240W.

All the ports support Programmable Power Supply (PPS) that uses finer 20mV steps for real-time mobile adjustments, but this protocol is built for the likes of Samsung and Pixel phones rather than iPhones that don’t support PPS. The charger will simply default to standard fixed USB-PD profiles when plugged into an iPhone, but iPhone 17 and later models do benefit from AVS.

Both the 240W and 140W models of the ChargeView share the same dark (Space Black) boxy design. Both are pretty small, being built using the latest Gallium nitride (GaN) technology. GaN also helps keep the chargers cool even at full power, and the chargers are fanless so remain silent in operation.

The ChargeView 140W is understandably smaller at 3 x 3 x 1.5 inches (76 x 76 x 38mm) and weighs 16.4oz (465g).

The ChargeView 240W is larger but hardly a brick at 4.3 x 3.6 x 1.5 inches (110 x 92 x 38mm) and weighs 24oz (680g).

The power cable to the socket measures 5 feet (1.5m) in length. If you require a longer cable, it uses a common C8 power connector that you can buy separately if needed.

The charger comes with four little black silicone dots that you apply to the base if sitting the charger horizontally flat. Satechi says this “avoids stand interference” and ensures stability.

What can the ChargeView’s display show?

The ChargeView’s integrated glossy LCD smart display shows visible real-time charging status and activity for each port. It will display total output power, wattage per port, cool operation, high power output and active cooling. This feature isn’t just for wattage nerds as it should enable you to check the most needy devices are getting the most power.

Pricing

The Satechi ChargeView 240W Desktop Charger is available for $149.99 / £149.99.

The ChargeView 140W Desktop Charger sells for $99.99 / £99.99.

We have tested and reviewed more of the best desktop USB-C chargers if you want to consider alternatives. The most powerful is the $249 Ugreen Nexode 500W. It has six ports, like the ChargeView, but with a much higher total output – although the max 500W assumes one port at 240W that is unlikely so it’s more like 400W total output in real terms. Ugreen also has a $199 Nexode 300W GaN Charger with four USB-C and one USB-A port.

Anker has two desktop chargers: the $79 Anker Prime 200W and $149 Anker Prime 250W. Both are rival 6-porters although two of those ports are USB-A, so will appeal to people with older legacy devices. If you are charging up to ten devices, the $119 Plugable PS-10CC USB-C Charger has less power at 100W but is super smart at priority charging.

Should you buy the ChargeView 240W or ChargeView 140W?

Wall chargers can get unwieldy once you need more than three ports, making a desktop charger a more practical option for powering several devices at once.

Buy the ChargeView 240W if you regularly charge two or more MacBooks alongside iPhones and iPads, or need six USB-C ports for a shared desk or family setup. Choose the 140W model if you mainly charge one MacBook plus a few smaller devices and don’t need the extra ports or power.

Buy neither if you still need USB-A or rarely charge several devices simultaneously, in which case a cheaper, more compact wall charger may make more sense.

With four or six USB-C ports, intelligent power distribution and a useful display, the ChargeView offers a tidy way to keep a multi-device setup charged without cluttering your desk.

A few weeks back, this site (and indeed this reporter) excitedly covered the news that Severance was back, baby. A cryptic tweet from showrunner Ben Stiller indicated that third-season shooting had begun, in the first bit of good news for fans since the brilliant second season ended on March 20 last year.

But is the show really back? The problem is that shooting and post-production take a lot of time. Even if everything goes perfectly to plan, we’re looking at a third-season launch in fall 2027 at the absolute earliest, more than two and a half years after the second one arrived. For comparison, the first five seasons of The Sopranos were released across a span of 1,883 days; at that point, we’ll still be months short of Stiller’s team releasing their third, and with fewer episodes per season (13 each for The Sopranos vs 9 and 10, respectively, for the first two seasons of Severance). And even a show as superb as Severance simply isn’t worth that kind of wait.

The joy of TV is its connectedness, the way it allows you to follow a story across multiple instalments as the narrative builds and breathes. Your experience of one episode informs your response to the next. Your memories of earlier seasons make the events in later seasons matter.

Think about the bombshells that landed in later seasons of Game of Thrones (eight seasons across nine calendar years), and how much less we would care about those characters and their fates if we hadn’t lived through dozens of previous episodes alongside them. Think about the montage sequence at the end of The Wire (five seasons across seven years) and how much its emotional force depends on everything that’s come before. And then think about how difficult it was to even remember what was going on when you sat down to watch Severance season 2 more than a thousand days after the first season finished.

There were reasons for that gap. The Covid pandemic, which had delayed the first season, was still a factor while filming the second. There were also actors’ and writers’ strikes to contend with. On top of that, the show wasn’t officially renewed for a second season until a couple of days before the first finished airing, so perhaps the team wasn’t sure where they stood or ready to get started right away. It was never going to be an easy job turning around another season for the following year. But surely the third season ought to have been less of a challenge, given the absence of Covid and the show’s obvious status as an Apple flagship.

It might seem unfair to compare Severance, a streaming hit of the 2020s, with the prestige cable dramas of the 2000s and 2010s. So let’s focus on other Apple properties.

Pluribus dropped its brilliant first season in November 2025 and was promptly renewed for a second, but essentially nothing has been heard since. When questioned this month, creator Vince Gilligan sighed heavily and said it was going to be a long time. Late 2027 seems optimistic; 2028 may be more realistic. Dark Matter wrapped up its first season on June 26, 2024, and is returning for its second season on August 28. The Morning Show, one of the only original Apple TV+ shows, is on an almost perfect two-year cadence. Even sitcom Ted Lasso, which wrapped up season 3 on May 31, 2023, only just kicked off its fourth season a couple of weeks ago.

In the case of Pluribus, as Gilligan explained, the show is a challenge from both a narrative and a logistical point of view. That’s almost certainly true of Dark Matter. And Ted Lasso wrapped up its original story in season 3, so a longer delay is understandable. But taking your time isn’t free. It costs something, particularly when you’re part of the zeitgeist. Pluribus was embedded in the culture, and the culture has moved on. Memes have a short memory.

Now consider Slow Horses, whose return for a sixth season was officially announced this month. That show is almost the polar opposite of Severance, having achieved a phenomenal rate of more than one season per year. And this pays off. The characters remain in the viewer’s mind between seasons–and when one returns, as in the new trailer, it can be played as a shocking reveal. You don’t need a lengthy recap when referring to the twists and turns of previous seasons. I don’t think the writing of Slow Horses is anywhere near as complex as that of Severance, but the show as a whole works better because it maintains a solid release rate.

Ben Stiller, if he stumbled across this article, would probably retort that the superior qualities of his show are a direct result of taking more time over each season (and that Slow Horses has the advantage of adapting a series of books). I couldn’t entirely disagree with that, although there’s plenty of evidence to show you can make a classic TV show within time constraints and without direct source material. Look at ER, which made one season a year, like clockwork, for 15 years. Look at its spiritual successor, The Pitt, which has happily dropped into the same pattern. It can be done without compromising on quality.

Granted, there is something very appealing about saying to creators, “Please, take your time, and make it as close to perfect as you possibly can. There’s no rush.” I absolutely get the beauty of that idea. But the reality is that at some level, beyond a certain point, there is always a rush: If you wait too long, even the most loyal of viewers will forget and move on. Apple TV deserves better than that.

When it comes to rumors about a new iPhone, some people are interested in specs—cameras, chips, AI features, etc.—but everyone wants to know what new colors it will come in. Now that we know, after my sources revealed to Macworld the likely color options for the iPhone 18 Pro lineup earlier this year, you’re probably wondering: What’s the best color option this year?

Every year, Apple introduces at least one new iPhone color that becomes a signature for that generation. Last year it was Cosmic Orange, a surprisingly bold choice that helped the iPhone 17 Pro stand out from its predecessors. This year, according to information we’ve heard from sources, Apple plans to replace the vibrant orange with something a bit more sophisticated.

Rumored iPhone 18 Pro colors

The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are expected to come in four colors this year. The star will be a new shade of dark red reportedly called “Dark Cherry,” in addition to more conventional options such as silver and dark gray. And although Apple’s plans may change, those considering upgrading their iPhone this fall are already thinking about which color to choose.

Based on what we know so far, here’s a breakdown of the rumored colors for the iPhone 18 Pro, and which one we think will look best.

Silver: The safe choice

Every new iPhone needs a classic color that never goes out of style, and silver has been fulfilling that role for years. Silver is expected to be among the color options for the iPhone 18 Pro, and to be honest, it’s probably one of the best choices for those planning to keep the same phone for years.

Fun colors are nice, but you might eventually get tired of them. Silver is timeless, elegant, and it also goes perfectly with other Apple products that aren’t available in fun colors (such as the MacBook Pro). I chose silver for my iPhone 17 Pro Max last year, and I haven’t regretted it.

Also, rumors suggest that this year’s iPhone models will feature a silver-toned glass back instead of pure white, giving the rear a more seamless look.

Dark Gray: The color for pros

Nothing says “pro” quite like black or dark gray devices. And although Apple had offered black iPhones for years, that option simply disappeared with last year’s iPhone 17 Pro.

However, according to our report, Apple has considered bringing back a darker color option for this year’s iPhones. The color would be a Dark Gray rather than pure black, but it would undeniably be a big hit among those who want something more subtle and sleek. The last time Apple made a gray iPhone Pro was the Graphite iPhone 13 Pro, which is one of our favorites of all time.

Apple was rumored to be developing a “Steel Gray” iPhone 17 Pro last year, but that option never made the cut. So, we’re hoping it makes the cut for the final production this year.

Light Blue: For a little whimsy

The rumored light blue color option for the iPhone 18 Pro is certainly one of the biggest surprises. The only time an iPhone Pro model offered a color like this was in 2021 with the Sierra Blue iPhone 13 Pro. It’s still one of my favorites to this day.

However, our sources say that this year’s blue finish is much softer than recent blue options such as Pacific Blue or Deep Blue. If you’re tired of gray phones but don’t want something as distinctive as Cosmic Orange, Light Blue might quietly become the sleeper hit of the lineup.

If you’re a fan of blue like I am, this option is the one for you. Sierra Blue is one of the most elegant iPhone colors ever made, and if this new Light Blue is anything close, it’ll be an instant classic.

Dark Cherry: The one that screams ‘new iPhone’

Just as Cosmic Orange makes the iPhone 17 Pro instantly recognizable, Dark Cherry will do the same for this year’s iPhone 18 Pro models.

Beginning earlier this year, iPhone 18 Pro rumors began pointing to a “deep red” color as a follow-up to Cosmic Orange. But based on information from Macworld sources, the new color will skew closer to a deep wine, purplish hue than the bright red of sports cars. And that makes a lot of sense for an iPhone Pro.

A true red iPhone Pro would have taken the iPhone Pro line in an aggressive direction following Cosmic Orange. Dark Cherry, on the other hand, is a return to the Pro line’s sophistication. It’s bold enough to feel different, but restrained enough that it still feels unmistakably like a Pro device.

Since publishing our original report, we’ve also seen real-world evidence pointing to this finish, which only reinforces our confidence that Dark Cherry will be the signature color this year. If Apple gets the metallic finish right, Dark Cherry could become one of those colors people immediately associate with a specific iPhone generation, much like Cosmic Orange or Deep Purple before it. 

Since the iPhone 18 Pro isn’t expected to look much different from the current generation, Dark Cherry is the finish to choose if you want an iPhone that looks brand new.

Apple knows iPhone colors matter

While tech specs are important, there are many customers who also spend a lot of time thinking about which iPhone color they should choose. That’s why Apple invests so much effort into developing signature finishes. A distinctive new color makes an upgrade feel immediately recognizable, even before you notice faster performance or better cameras.

This year’s color lineup feels more restrained than the iPhone 17 Pro’s, yet it’s shaping up to be one of the most diverse in years. Instead of leaning on a bold color, Apple appears to be embracing a more mature palette centered around darker, richer tones. For some buyers, Silver or Dark Gray will always be the right choice. Others will appreciate how different Light Blue looks compared to previous Pro iPhones.

But if someone asked me today which finish best captures what the iPhone 18 Pro generation is supposed to represent, I’d point to Dark Cherry without hesitation. While Cosmic Orange was something of a wild card, Dark Cherry is a signature iPhone Pro color and will surely be its best seller.

Of course, color is entirely subjective, and that’s exactly why Apple offers multiple options. But if you’re the kind of buyer who upgrades every few years and wants your new iPhone to actually look new, I’d skip the safe choices this time. Dark Cherry appears to be the finish that best captures this generation, and the one people will remember long after next year’s iPhone arrives.

How much time do you spend in front of your Mac every day? If it’s more than an hour or two, there’s one upgrade you can make that will transform your experience in an instant: a mechanical keyboard. This simple change can step up your productivity and make typing the most comfortable it’s ever been.

Take it from me. I’ve been using and reviewing Mac-friendly mechanical keyboards for years. I’d never go back to Apple’s Magic Keyboard, never mind any of the thousands of cheap and nasty rubber-dome alternatives that flood the market.

It really is something you have to feel to understand. Once you do, you’ll never look back. The mechanical hype is real. Here’s why you should make the switch.

Pure typing bliss

As the name suggests, a mechanical keyboard is defined by the mechanical switches that lie underneath its keycaps. Each time you press a key, it moves downward on a spring-loaded mechanism, sends a signal to macOS, then moves back up.

Conversely, on a standard keyboard such as Apple’s Magic Keyboard, the keycap sits atop a rubber dome. As you push the key, it moves downward onto the dome, which squishes down and actuates the key press.

There are several problems with this rubber dome system. The first is durability. The soft dome wears down over time, reducing the consistency of its interaction with the keyboard’s contact points and potentially introducing errors in your typing. The longer you use it, the less dependable it becomes.

A mechanical switch, on the other hand, is made from much more solid metal or plastic that is designed to last. Some mechanical keyboards go a step further and use magnetic connections (based on Hall effect or tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) tech) to actuate each key press, reducing the number of physical contact points and increasing durability exponentially.

In other words, mechanical keyboards tend to be far more reliable in the long term, meaning fewer frustrating mistakes and costly replacements.

The second issue with rubber dome keyboards–the most important one–is the typing feel. Mechanical switches come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, from those that feature a tactile bump as you press the key to those that are entirely smooth in action. That’s important, because the switch you choose can have a big impact on the typing feel.

As someone who types all day, every day, I love a tactile switch because it provides physical feedback that helps me type with greater speed and accuracy than a non-mechanical keyboard ever could. For my use case, the difference between a tactile switch and a linear one–never mind a rubber dome keyboard–is night and day.

Many mechanical keyboards let you swap out the switches on the fly, giving you many different typing experiences that can be customized to your needs. You’ll never get that with a rubber dome keyboard, where you have to stick with its (often unsatisfying) under-finger feel through thick and thin.

A new world to explore

Mechanical keyboards have benefits. But aren’t they just for PC gamers? And what about the price? They’re all eye-wateringly expensive, right?

I used to think that mechanical keyboards were just for Windows users whose idea of tasteful computer design was a blinding array of garish neon lights. But while that’s the stereotype, it’s far from the truth.

These days, many manufacturers are making Mac-specific mechanical keyboards. There are excellent offerings from the likes of Logitech, Keychron, NuPhy, Satechi, and more. Lofree has a superb range of Mac keyboards color-matched to the MacBook Neo, while Corsair even collaborated directly with Apple to create the K65 Plus, which is often on sale for under $120 and well worth the price.

These devices all use macOS key layouts. For example, the Option key is in the proper place, which isn’t the case if you use a keyboard designed for Windows. No adaptation or adjustment is needed. And with high-quality materials and beautiful designs that fit in with your Apple setup, these keyboards are far from the obnoxious gamer aesthetic.

Take the Keychron Q3 Max, for example, which is the mechanical keyboard I’m using right now to type up this article. It comes with macOS keycaps and a switch to toggle between macOS and Windows layouts (so the Option key is in the right place, which isn’t the case if you use a keyboard designed for Windows). Its all-metal case is rock solid; it looks downright gorgeous and sounds pleasing to the ear, and I can change its switches to a different type if I want a fresh typing feel. My fingers have never felt so luxuriated.

All of the devices made by the companies I mentioned above use macOS key layouts, meaning there’s no adaptation or adjustment needed. And with high-quality materials and beautiful designs that fit in with your Apple kit, these boards are about as far from the obnoxious gamer aesthetic as it’s possible to be.

As for the price, sure, mechanical keyboards are often pricey, but so is the Magic Keyboard. And as Apple fans are well aware, expensive doesn’t equate to overpriced. You can easily find a mechanical keyboard that far exceeds the Magic Keyboard for the same price or less.

There are mechanical keyboards that push the price into $200 (or more), but in most cases you’re making an investment in quality. And if you don’t want to spend that much, you don’t have to. Even high-end brands such as Keychron sell entry-level mechanical keyboards starting at around $60.

Touch ID

The only advantage of an Apple keyboard is the Touch ID button. Due to the way Touch ID works, you won’t find a third-party keyboard with it. But this is much less of an issue than it might appear. If you have an Apple Watch, you can log into macOS and confirm purchases using it, just as you would with a Touch ID button. In fact, logging in is actually faster using an Apple Watch than the Touch ID button because it happens automatically.

If you don’t have an Apple Watch, you’ll have to enter your password to log in and at the checkout. On the plus side, the latter can be sped up considerably if you have a password manager that autofills your login details.

I have an Apple Watch, so I don’t miss the Touch ID button at all. But even if I didn’t, I wouldn’t trade it for a mechanical keyboard. The benefits far outweigh what you miss out on.

With a far superior typing feel, a huge range of switch options, plus exquisite quality and ingenious features everywhere you look, every Mac user can benefit from ditching the Magic Keyboard and exploring the world of mechanical alternatives. I made the leap years ago and have never regretted it. Perhaps you should give it a try and take a look at Macworld’s picks for the best keyboards.

According to reports, Apple is going to expand its presence in the wearable market with a new product: smart glasses.

The Apple smart glasses that have been reported are a departure from the spatial computing platform of the Apple Vision Pro. They won’t be a headset and they won’t offer AR or spatial computing. They aren’t going to be a computing device in any way.

Instead, they will be glasses like those from Meta AI and other companies. They will be designed like typical eyeglasses, not a headset or goggles. They will have built-in cameras, speakers, and microphones for taking pictures and video, and to interact with the iPhone. These glasses are expected to function as an AI-powered wearable, potentially launching in 2027.

This article will track the latest reports on the Apple smart glasses. Check this space often for the latest news before they are released.

In case you haven’t heard, there’s a new iPhone coming at Apple’s September event and that means two things: You want a new iPhone and you need to sell your old one. If you buy your iPhone outright every year or so, you can usually recoup a good amount of the new cost by selling your old model every time you upgrade to a new one. With prices for components so high these days, the trade-in prices have actually risen!

Even if you’re in the Apple’s Upgrade Program, you might have an older iPhone languishing in a drawer somewhere unused. Here’s what you need to know about selling or trading in your old iPhone for top dollar.

How to sell your iPhone online

Step one is deciding where you are going to sell your iPhone. You should start your research at third-party buyback sites. You’ll get an idea of what your phone in its current condition is worth, and then can either take that offer or try to directly sell your phone to another person yourself on Craigslist or eBay. You might want to mention you’re selling your phone on social media like Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram first, to see if a friend or associate wants it—you’ll feel better dealing with someone you know.

Buyback sites almost never give you as much money as a direct sale to another person would, but they’re much safer and easier. Sometimes the hassle of a direct sale to another person isn’t worth a little extra money, and you just want to quickly, easily, and safely get a reasonable price for your old phone. That’s where these sites come in. There are lots of buyback sites, but these are some of the biggest and most highly recommended:

BackMarket

BackMarket buys and sells used iPhones and other products. You can get up to $600 for an iPhone 16 Pro Max 512GB unlocked in Good (not even Flawless) condition, for example. A prepaid shipping label is provided so you can ship your iPhone off to them within 21 days of your quote. The quote is dependent on the iPhone matching the description you have given.

If you are in the U.K. BackMarket will also offer you money for your used iPhone. In this case, an iPhone 16 Pro Max 512GB unlocked in good condition but a few scratches could get you £340.

Compare and Recycle

This trade-in service that assesses the different recyclers to offer you the best price on offer if you trade-in your iPhone. A search on Compare and Recycle suggested a 1TB, unlocked iPhone 15 Pro Max could be worth $571 with TheWhizCells.

The same search on Compare and Recycle in the U.K. suggested an iPhone 15 Pro Max could be worth £456 with Trade Your Phone.

Music Magpie

In the U.K. Music Magpie will buy used equipment from you (they were acquired by AO.com in 2024). Here our Good-condition iPhone 16 Pro Max 512GB unlocked could make us £594. You can lock in that price for up to 28 days. If you want to sell you just print out your free label. Once they get the phone and inspect it to make sure it’s in the condition you stated, they pay you the following day. If the condition is not as described, they will make a new offer. If that offer isn’t acceptable, they will return the phone free of charge.

Music Magpie used to trade as Decluttr in the U.S. but that site closed when the U.K. arm was bought.

Gazelle

Gazelle buys and sells preowned smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other gadgets. They’ll give you an online quote for your item, and then send you a box to ship it to them for free. You can receive payment as a check, via PayPal, or in the form of an Amazon gift card.

The offer is good for 30 days, and Gazelle will make you a new offer if the item is in worse condition than you described. If you decide not to take the new offer, they’ll send your gadget back, but you pay for the return shipping.

Swappa

Swappa works a little differently than most other buyback sites. It’s actually a marketplace where you sell directly to other customers—Swappa just verifies the listings, handles the payments (using PayPal), and organizes the shipping to reduce fraud. Swappa collects its fees from the buyer’s end, but the price the buyer actually sees has that fee as well as shipping included. The seller pays for shipping, and you’re on your own to package the item securely, too.

Swappa lists a price range for what has sold recently on its site. You’ll sometimes be able to get more from a sale on Swappa, but selling directly to other people, even with Swappa’s protections in place, always assumes a little more risk. iPhone 15 Pro Max models have gone for around $605 here.

In the U.K. you can also sell your iPhone at places like CeX, Envirofone, and We Buy Any Phone.

Trade in your iPhone for store credit

Another convenient approach is to turn in your old iPhone to the Apple Store, Amazon, Best Buy, or Walmart, where they’ll give you a gift card. You might not get quite as much, but these stores also take phones in worse condition than your typical buyer would expect. The big-box stores, for example, will give you a small gift card for an iPhone with a broken screen, while an Apple store will generally just recycle it for you. Sometimes these stores have preorder or launch-day deals as well, so keep your eyes open for that.

Apple

The Apple store’s online quote service is simple, fast, and generally offers pretty good prices for your used Apple gear. The downside is that you can only get an Apple gift card or credit toward the purchase of a new Apple product.

Apple offers trade-in values for all iPhones from the iPhone XR (up to $90) to the iPhone 16 Pro Max (up to $720).

As of August 2026, Apple offers estimated trade-in values on the newer handsets:

Model	Estimated trade-in value
iPhone 16 Pro Max	up to $720 / £680
iPhone 16 Pro	up to $630 / £600
iPhone 16 Plus	up to $485 / £460
iPhone 16	up to $480 / £445
iPhone 16e	up to $310 / £345
iPhone 15 Pro Max	up to $530 / £480
iPhone 15 Pro	up to $420 / £435
iPhone 15 Plus	up to $340 / £340
iPhone 15	up to $335 / £325

We explain How Apple trade in works and saves you money separately.

Amazon

Amazon Trade-In lets you sell certain products directly to Amazon in exchange for an Amazon gift card. It’s a very simple process, though it can take a couple of weeks before your item gets to Amazon and is inspected, so don’t expect a credit in your Amazon account immediately. The prices are often a little lower than other buyback sites, and you only get Amazon credit, but it’s very easy and safe.

Best Buy

Best Buy offers pretty good prices on trade-ins, and you can take your iPhone to a Best Buy location to drop it off, which might be more convenient than shipping it.

Walmart

Walmart contracts with CExchange to let you trade in smartphones, tablets, video games, and wearables for a Walmart gift card. You get a prepaid FedEx Ground shipping label, but you have to pack the item yourself. Then you get an eGift Card to spend at Walmart.

In the U.K. stores like Argos, Currys and John Lewis will allow you to trade in an old iPhone.

Sell your iPhone back to your carrier

Not to be outdone, your carrier will accept trade-ins too. If you cringe at your phone bill each month, unloading old devices to your carrier might be tempting, since you can use the credit for new devices or to pay your bill. During the first couple months of an iPhone’s release, there may be special trade-in offers, so keep an eye out for that.

AT&T

For AT&T’s trade-in program, you can bring your device to an AT&T Store to get instant credit, or get a quote online and receive a kit to mail your device in for free. Then you’ll get a promotional card in the mail you can use to credit your bill or buy new stuff.

Verizon

Verizon lets you trade in devices with a prepaid shipping box. Credits can be applied to your bill, or you can opt for a gift card to use for new devices. 

T-Mobile

T-Mobile’s trade-in program is geared at people who want a new phone. Once you get a quoted price (for a phone in good condition), you’re taken to the store page to shop for a new device. You can also ship your phone or bring it to a T-Mobile store.

In the U.K. Carphone Warehouse will allow you to trade in an old iPhone, as will EE and Vodafone. However, U.K. based service Compare and Recycle warns that iPhone owners can lose out on £100s if they trade in with their phone network.

Sell your phone directly to someone else

You can usually get the most money for your iPhone by selling it directly to someone else. Prepare your iPhone for sale, clean it, and take some good well-lit photos, then post it on eBay, Craigslist, OfferUp, or Facebook Marketplace (or all of the above). While this can be the most profitable route, it also could be the biggest headache and assumes the most risk. Scammers are everywhere! Follow these tips to help you sell your iPhone to someone else directly:

1. Only sell locally, never ship your iPhone to the buyer.
2. Only accept cash. Do not take a check, money order, Western Union, or any other form of payment. PayPal currently provides Seller Protection, but transactions need to qualify and you need proof — buyers can dispute the transaction and PayPal almost always sides with them.
3. Check out the buyer. Is this a one-off account with no other purchases or ratings? Do they have a social media presence? Are they trying to take the conversation off FaceBook or OfferUp to text messaging right away? These are all red flags!
4. Meet somewhere public and safe. Many police stations have “Safe Trade Zones” or “Internet Exchange Locations” specifically set up for buyers and sellers to meet. Banks are also a good option. Go inside, don’t handle your business out in the parking lot.
5. See and inspect the buyer’s money before you hand over your phone. Check for counterfeit bills or the old “stack of paper in a bank envelope” trick.

Which is the best option to choose?

If you want the easiest, most hassle-free experience and plan to buy another Apple product, Apple’s own trade-in program is a strong choice.

The process is straightforward: you get a quote online, send in your device or bring it to an Apple Store, and receive credit toward a new purchase.

Apple allows you to trade in multiple devices and the process is generally safe and reliable.

However, you typically won’t get the highest possible value. Apple’s trade-in values do fluctuate, but not always downwards: in May 2026, Apple raised maximum trade-in values on many devices and did the same again after raising prices for Macs and iPads in June.

For the largest potential discounts on a new iPhone, especially when a new model launches, carrier trade-in deals are often unbeatable though. Carriers like AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon frequently offer up to $830–$1,000 off new iPhones with a qualifying trade-in and plan. For example, at launch Boost Mobile was offering $1,000 off the iPhone 16 lineup with its Infinite Access plan and a trade-in. The trade-off is that these deals come with significant commitments.

How to get an old iPhone ready for sale

Now you have decided where to sell it you need to get your iPhone ready: wipe your data and make sure it is no longer associated with you before you pass it on to someone else.

Apple has a list of what to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your old iPhone which is worth a look, and we also cover How to wipe and reset an iPhone. We recommend that you should check those guides out, but here’s our own advice for making sure you get the most value for a used iPhone:

1) Take good care of it

This probably goes without saying, but your iPhone’s condition plays a huge part in its value. So keep it in a case, use a screen protector, and generally try to keep it in great shape. If your phone shows some wear and tear, you’ll still be able to sell it, you’ll just get a little less money back. Also, holding onto the original box and including the charger (if it came with one) and cable also helps squeeze a little more value out of your sale.

2) Save your data

Before you get rid of your old iPhone, make sure all the data is backed up and ready to transfer to your new one. A backup to iCloud or the Finder (or the Music app if you are on a PC) is the most convenient way to sync all the data to your new iPhone, and another option is to sync directly from the old to the new iPhone. But because an iPhone backup is pretty self-contained, you may also want to separately make sure your photos are synced to Google Photos, iCloud Photos, or another cloud storage solution.

3) Unpair your Apple Watch

If you have an Apple Watch, you should make sure it’s backed up, unpair it from your old iPhone, and sync it with your new one. You can do this in the Watch app on the phone.

1. Tap the My Watch tab.
2. Tap All Watches at the top of the screen.
3. You’ll see all your Apple Watches paired to this iPhone.
4. Tap the (i) button next to your watch.
5. Tap Unpair Apple Watch.
6. If you have more than one Apple Watch paired to this iPhone, repeat this process for all of them.

4) Sign out of your Apple account

Sign out of your iCloud and Music accounts, too. This is a crucial step: If you erase your phone without signing out first, it will still have Activation Lock enabled and the buyer won’t be able to set it up!

You should be prompted when you erase it (see below) but in case you’re not, here’s how to sign out:

1. Head to the top of the Settings app.
2. Tap your Apple ID and then scroll to the bottom of the next screen and tap Sign Out.
3. You’ll probably be asked to confirm your Apple ID and password.

5) Reset your iPhone

Once you’re sure your iPhone is all backed up and ready to be fully erased, head to the Settings app and tap General > Transfer or Reset iPhone (in earlier iOS versions the option says Reset). The nuclear option here is Erase All Content and Settings; if you’re selling or giving away your phone, this is what you want to do.

You may be prompted to turn off Find My iPhone and sign out of iCloud if you haven’t already—otherwise iOS’s Activation Lock will prevent the phone’s next owner from activating it. Confirm that you want to erase all the data, and your phone will be securely wiped and restored to factory settings. It’ll go through an update and you’ll be met with a “Hello” screen just like you were when you first set it up. Turn it off and say goodbye.

We cover this in more detail here: How to reset an iPhone. If you have any trouble you may find How to put an iPhone into recovery mode and return to factory settings useful. Note that you need to be connected to Wi-Fi or Cellular before you can wipe the iPhone.

If you need to fix a faulty iPhone that will not start up properly, you can use Recovery mode. This lets you connect your iPhone to a Mac or PC and use it to update or restore iOS. If your iPhone is having problems, try updating the software first. This can reinstall iOS without wiping your data. If that does not solve the problem, you may need to restore the iPhone and start again.

If updating the software fails, you can use Recovery mode to restore your iPhone. Restoring wipes the device and installs the latest compatible public version of iOS. Once the restore is complete, you can set up the iPhone again and recover your settings, data, and apps from an iCloud or computer backup made before the problems started.

Recovery mode is also useful if you want to remove an iOS beta. This is not quite the same as wiping your iPhone to prepare it for sale – in that case, you should follow the normal erase process so that your data is removed and the iPhone is properly unlinked from your Apple Account.

Note: If you are considering Recovery mode because you have been unable to erase an iPhone using Erase All Content and Settings in Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone, first check that the iPhone has a working internet connection. That erase process may need to contact Apple’s servers, so make sure the device is connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data.

How to put your iPhone into Recovery mode

For those who need a premium small-screen tablet, the iPad mini is a popular choice. But should you buy one now, or should you wait to see what Apple has in store for the next model?

Most buyers should wait – the next model is expected to bring meaningful upgrades. However, Apple isn’t expected to update the iPad mini until late 2026, and that launch date could slip further due to chip demand and wider supply constraints.

Here’s what the latest rumors say about the release date, key upgrades, and whether it’s worth waiting.

For the second time this week, an unreleased Apple product has been leaked in shockingly thorough fashion. After a video demonstrating camera-equipped AirPods was spotted in macOS 26.7 on Monday, the Beats 360 over-ears headphones have now been revealed on multiple retail websites despite not yet officially existing.

The headphones were spotted by Redditors on Amazon U.K., and one user going by the handle HappyMcPe promptly started a thread featuring more than half a dozen photos of the device. They were also spotted on other retail sites such as Apcom Slovakia and Misco, but all the listings now appear to have been taken down.

Based on the images–which we would tend to assume are legitimate, since they were used by multiple legitimate retailers and have been guiltily taken down since being spotted–the new headphones have a noticeably different design from the two currently available Beats over-ears. Unlike the Studio Pro and Solo 4, the Beats 360 has a separate padded section on the underside of the headpiece, as well as much more of an open mesh on the earcups.

Elsewhere in the listings it’s made clear that the padded section can be detached, as can the cushions over the ears, and that these are available separately as an Extra Cushion Kit. There seems to be two versions of the cushion: Performance Knit and UltraPlush.

The images also make it apparent that these are the same unreleased headphones which football star Lamine Yamal was seen with in multiple Instagram posts earlier this summer.

While we’re discussing design, it’s worth mentioning that the color finishes are very MacBook Neo-coded. The 360 is available in Sky, Black, Navy, Cloud, Pink, and Volt (a bright neon yellow and a good match for the Neo’s Citrus finish). That’s way more options, incidentally, than the Studio Pro, which comes in four colors, or the Solo 4, which comes in three.

But the leak spills far more beans than simply what the new headphones look like. We’ve got pricing, for example: £331.99 on Misco, and $299 in the DataVision listing.

In fact, product descriptions reveal almost everything about the new headphones. They offer active noise cancellation (“up to 1.75x more noise cancellation” than the Beats Studio Pro, the description claims), though they don’t appear to feature an H2 or indeed any other Apple chip. They are rated as IPX4 for water and sweat resistance. They’re compatible with both Apple and Android products. They have all-day battery life even with ANC enabled. They can be folded flat. They come with a “woven ripstop fabric carrying case.”

It’s another huge leak, in other words. We don’t know when the headphones will come out, but based on the number of retail companies that had the information, we’d guess it’ll be soon. Watch this space in the coming days for any remaining details that weren’t accidentally leaked today.
