The rumored “HomePod with a screen” we’ve heard so much about was reportedly lined up for launch in 2025, and then this spring, and now, according to the latest updates, it’s on the shelf until this fall. Leaker Kosutami posted as much on X last week, and today, Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman followed up with […]
We’ve been busy testing many new MacBooks, ranging from the new $1,099 M5 MacBook Air, going all the way up the $6,149 16-inch MacBook Pro with the M5 Max chip.

It’s been almost exactly four years since Apple released the 5K Studio Display that so many wanted, even if it didn’t really deliver as a high-end display.
