Whoops! Did Apple just leak a notchless MacBook in macOS Tahoe?
Apple's latest macOS 26 Tahoe is set to release later this fall, but it's currently in a public beta, allowing curious Apple fans to test out the latest features. With the most recent update, Apple may have accidentally revealed a notchless MacBook. The potential new Apple laptop was spotted by Redditor Zealousideal-Bit-280, who shared a screenshot from the beta, which appears to show a MacBook sans notch. Interestingly, the screenshot appears to be a rather thin laptop, leading us to believe that the notchless model could be a MacBook Air or possibly an entry-level MacBook. We haven't seen a notchless MacBook since 2020. The notch arrived at a strange time with the MacBook Pro 2021, just as the company was removing the same feature from the iPhone 14 Pro models and introducing the Dynamic Island. It was not well-received. At the time, Apple claimed that the notch was a 'smart way to give you more space for your content.' 'What we've done is we've actually made the display taller,' explained Shruti Haldea, Pro Mac Product Line Manager at Apple, on the Same Brain podcast. 'Like on the 16-inch notebook, you still have a 16.0 active area on the diagonal in that 16:10-inch window, and we just grew the display up from there and put the Menu Bar up there.' Some claim not to notice the little bump out, but Apple users have been patiently waiting half a decade for Apple to get rid of the notch. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Current rumors say that the M6 MacBook Pro will feature a tandem OLED panel, similar to the one found in the M4 iPad Pro. This could spell the end of the notch with Apple moving to a punch-hole webcam, enabling the Dynamic Island to debut on a Mac. Lending further credence to this theory is the addition of Live Activities arriving in macOS Tahoe, which utilizes the Dynamic Island on your iPhone to highlight things like live sports scoring. The M6 MacBook Pro isn't expected to launch until late 2026. If this screenshot hints at a notchless entry-level or Air device, either of those could launch in October, when Apple typically debuts its newest MacBooks.

Mac Mini with M5 and M5 Pro just tipped to launch this year — here's what we know
A new report from AppleInsider claims Apple is working on an upgraded Mac mini that would feature an M5 or M5 Pro chipset. The latest leak is a follow-up to a July rumor that revealed the entire forthcoming Mac lineup through 2026. The roadmap revealed a Mac mini codenamed J837s, set to release next year. However, this new leak suggests the upgraded tiny computer might launch before the end of 2025, likely in October when Apple typically debuts its next-generation Macs. The currently available M4 Pro Mac mini had the codename J773s, with the M4 Mac Mini dubbed J773g, which lends credence to the assumption that the J837s is the M5 Pro Mac Mini. The Mac mini M4 introduced a huge redesign with plenty of ports on both the front and back of the device, more memory and a smaller footprint compared to the 2023 M2 Mac mini. It's our pick for the best mini PC, especially if you prefer Apple's OS over Windows. Coupled with the M4 chipset, it's a powerhouse, even with its controversial power button placement. That glaring flaw is fixable with some fun and clever solutions. According to AppleInsiders, the M5 mini likely won't get any design changes at the level of the M4 Mac Mini. Instead, all of the upgrades will be internal, though beyond the new chip, we're not sure what other upgrades the device is slated to receive. As for the M5 chip, it's supposedly being manufactured using TSMC's 3nm process and is meant to 'enhance artificial intelligence performance.' We do know that any new Macs will launch with macOS 26 Tahoe. Tahoe adds new Apple Intelligence features, including a better Image Playground, better Writing Tools and access to an improved Genmoji. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Apple's 'liquid glass' design is coming to Macs, bringing the cross-platform crystalline liquidity to Macs, meaning more transparent menu bars and customizable menus. We've tested Tahoe in beta, and it may be our favorite macOS update in years. The M5 and M5 Pro Mac mini are unlikely to be the only new Macs Apple launches this year. Based on the previous roadmap, we should also see a MacBook Pro M5 and M5 Max, a new Mac Pro. Follow Tom's Guide on Google News to get our up-to-date news, how-tos, and reviews in your feeds.

Apple iPhone 17 Pro: Striking New Design Leaks In New Report
Updated Aug.18 with more details of how the iPhone 17 Pro will see major design changes. A new report claims that the materials which will be used in the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max (thought to go on sale on Friday, Sept. 19 — read full details of the release schedule here) are going to change significantly from what's in the iPhone 16 Pro right now. Now a report adds that the eSIM-only design of the iPhone's Pro models will become more widespread, though not for everyone. More on that later. First, there has been persistent talk of a switch from a titanium chassis (which is what the Pro iPhones currently have) to aluminum. The latest leak suggests that an aluminum chassis will be used, and an aluminum backplate, but for a cut-out of glass. Vadim Yuryev, host of the Max Tech YouTube channel has posted on X that explains, 'ass, including a leaked photo of a REAL milled aluminum chassis from @MajinBuOfficial that many people missed,' as he puts it. The post shows what claims to be an iPhone 17 chassis made of metal, with the surrounds for the iPhone's cameras and the camera panel itself made of metal, not glass. If true, and the jury's still out on that, it would be a radical design change. It's been years since the iPhone has had a metal back, favoring glass not least because it makes wireless charging possible. The cut-out on the back would be to allow a glass section, so this form of charging can still happen. Well, it's possible, I guess. Google had a similar system for a recent Pixel phone, (the Pixel 8a) which had a composite material over the metal frame, again to allow wireless charging through a cut-out. And aluminum could allow a lightweight way to build strength into the chassis. Even so, I'll confess that I'm skeptical. Still, Tim Hardwick at MacRumros has a good point: 'Aluminum is roughly 40% lighter than titanium at similar volumes, so we could see the iPhone 17 Pro models carrying less weight. Aluminum is also a far better thermal conductor than titanium, so heat generated by the A19 Pro chip and battery may dissipate faster. Apple is also rumored to be using a new internal design that incorporates a vapor chamber heatsink to improve thermal performance,' he says. More details as they emerge. As for the SIM card tray which is now absent from all iPhones sold in the U.S., leaked images show the SIM card tray will still be a part of Apple's design for some countries. Apple switched iPhones in the U.S. to eSIM only in 2022 with the arrival of the iPhone 14. In other countries, the SIM card is still needed, as not all countries support eSIM. In many places, pay-as-you-go iPhones need a physical SIM card still. That said, there's no doubt that eSIMs are secure and can't be removed from a phone that's lost or stolen, for a start. Users in many countries have switched to eSIM when upgrading to the latest iPhone, for instance, and the phone's capability to hold multiple eSIMs is a boon when you're traveling, for a start. Until now, the missing SIM tray has been replaced with a spacer, but there are some reports that this year, for the first time, Apple may redesign the battery for U.S. iPhones to take up the empty space.
