Inside the newly remodeled Walmart Supercenter — one of 22 planned in Minnesota
Inside the newly remodeled Walmart Supercenter — one of 22 planned in Minnesota originally appeared on Bring Me The News. On Friday, Walmart unveiled a remodeled Supercenter in Blaine, one of many such refurbishments the company has planned for this year. The June 6 ribbon-cutting ceremony was accompanied by donations to local organizations, as well as the unveiling of the "Blaine Community Mural" designed by Minnesota-based artist Adam Turman, who has created commemorative artwork for the Minnesota State Fair and had a pop-up at the Mall of America last year. The upgrades at the 181,000-square-foot store, which originally opened at 11505 Ulysses St. NE in 2002, include new signage, expanded departments with new items, expanded online pickup and delivery space, a pharmacy refresh, and the addition of a "Mother's Room." The pharmacy update includes wider aisles, the addition of a private screening room, and private checkout areas. During the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Walmart announced donations to the Blaine Police Department ($3,000), the Alexandra House ($2,000), and the Blaine High School Baseball Dugout Club ($1,000). Last month, while reporting first-quarter profits, Walmart revealed that it has already raised prices on some products and plans to implement more price hikes in response to Trump administration tariffs. "I'm concerned that consumer[s are] going to start seeing higher prices," Chief Financial Officer John David Rainey said. "You'll begin to see that, likely towards the tail end of this month, and then certainly much more in June." Walmart isn't alone in hiking prices in what they say is a response to tariffs. Even Target has said that it's an option that's on the table. Though, Target CEO Brian Cornell called it a "last resort." Walmart's Blaine opening took place on the same day as the opening of a remodel at Walmart's Worthington location as well. The company says that 22 locations (none have been revealed) in Minnesota will get similar upgrades this story was originally reported by Bring Me The News on Jun 7, 2025, where it first appeared.

iPhone users say Mail app is suddenly freezing with iOS 18.5 — here's a fix you can try
Since Apple rolled out iOS 18.5, a growing number of iPhone users have reported issues with accessing their inbox as the Mail app is getting stuck on a blank white screen. Several comments on Reddit and the Apple Support Community describe being unable to view emails in their inboxes as the app is either glitchy or unresponsive. The underlying cause remains unclear, but the issues don't appear to be tied to any specific iPhone model, suggesting it could be a software-related problem tied to iOS 18.5 or the Mail app itself. Interestingly, reports of this Mail app issue have only been cropping up in the past few days, while iOS 18.5 went live last month. iOS 18.5 added a few notable features like screen time notifications and a new Pride-themed wallpaper, but its updates for the Apple Mail app could be causing the issues. With iOS 18.5, Apple brought back the "All Mail" inbox view and added the option to hide contact photos from the Mail app to make your inbox less distracting. Apple has not officially acknowledged the issue, and the company's System Status page does not indicate any problems with the Mail app. But while there's no official fix yet, some users said restarting their iPhones solved the issue, but only temporarily. Others have had luck with force-closing the app or disabling the keyboard's auto-correction to get it working again. Another affected user with an iPhone XR running iOS 18.5 was told by Apple Support to try resetting the phone's network settings, which seemed to do the trick, PC Mag reports. To do this on your iPhone, head to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset [Device] > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Until Apple acknowledges the issue and provides a fix, affected users should contact Apple support for assistance in the meantime.

Apple Prepares To Cancel The Classic MacBook Pro
New MacBook Pro laptops are displayed during Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference 2023. (Photo by ... More JOSH EDELSON/AFP via Getty Images) As Tim Cook prepares to open the Worldwide Developer Conference next week, countless Apple fans are getting ready for new life to be breathed into their hardware. There will be something for everybody, from iPhones and iPads to Apple Watches and MacBook Pro laptops. Yet there will be some let down by the next version of macOS. It's worth noting that Apple is refreshing the numbering system across all of its operating systems, so the next version of macOS will be macOS 26, and the moniker naming looks set to continue with macOS Tahoe. Apple continues to offer multi-year support across its hardware, including the Mac platform in general and the MacBook laptops in particular. And this is where things get awkward for the laptop owners. The support window for the MacBook Pro is expected to reach back as far as the 2019 MacBook Pro. That passes an important rubicon. At that point, the Mac family was still running on x86-based Intel hardware. The ARM-based Apple Silicon arrived at the end of 2020, with the M1 MacBook Pro, M1 MacBook Air, and M1 Mac Mini. Apple Silicon offered a significant leap in performance, power and efficiency. That Apple can support the M1 chipset some five years down the line and bring the full range of new tools, including the latest generative AI suite, should not come as a surprise. Yet Apple still plans to support the older, slower and inefficient Intel MacBook Pro models. How much can Apple offer the older laptops? It's clear for MacBook Air owners still running Intel-powered Airs. The MacBook Air from 2020, the last with the Intel Core chipset, will be dropped, leaving only Apple Silicon powered MacBook Air models supported by macOS Tahoe and the versions that follow. It's less clear for the MacBook Pro. At the very least, Apple should offer security updates to the laptops, but whether the latest apps and utilities are offered remains to be seen. Given the demands placed on the hardware, it's likely to be a limited subset of those available to Apple Silicon Macs. Consumers using third-party apps will already be familiar with the 'unsupported' error messages on apps that are exclusively for Apple Silicon Macs) a list that is growing longer by the day), and more demanding apps such as Photoshop are asking for so much that the Intel Mac are being left behind, no matter what Cupertino is offering. It's unfortunate that no laptop can last forever. While Apple's support window is rarely specified for Macs, six years of updates is welcome, yet feels short for an Apple product. This is the downside of the 2020 move from Intel to ARM; Apple gained a much more powerful platform, but was left having to support the older platform for a polite number of years. That support is coming to an end. The consumer-focused MacBook Air has a hard stop coming up. At the same time, the professionally focused MacBook Pro will squeeze out another year or two, which will be welcomed by those using the laptop in a production environment, but Tim Cook has put the platform on notice. The MacBook Pro that many knew and loved is coming to the end of its story. Now read the latest MacBook Pro, macOS and WWDC headlines in Forbes' weekly Apple news digest...
