Summary

Bloomberg reports Apple is testing a touchscreen MacBook Pro with OLED displays and M5 chips, potentially launching as early as this month. Apple’s VP of Hardware Engineering reveals the iPhone Duo’s inner display nanotexture coating is replaceable to mitigate crease visibility over time. Counterpoint attributes the iPhone 18 Pro’s strong sales in China to delayed base model launches, competitive pricing, and aggressive channel support. Finally, new rumors suggest the upcoming HomePad smart display may launch in four colors, including silver, space gray, starlight, and rose pink.
