Apple has wrapped up its latest product showcase, with the so-called “Unleashed” event unveiling brand new MacBook laptops and Airpods

The company has officially stripped Intel Corp processors from its computers, and will instead opt for an in-house processor.

The new M1 Pro and M1 Max chips are 70 percent faster, with the new MacBooks also boasting larger screens, MagSafe charging and better resolution.

The revamp of processes and devices is aimed at surpassing the high-end chips Intel has provided for Apple devices over 15 years.

Introducing the next generation of AirPods

Meanwhile, the company also announced brand new Airpods, with the latest model being a refresh of the first-generation entry-level buds, as opposed to the Pro model.

Apple has been the leader in the wireless earphone market since the product first dropped back in 2016, leaving competitors like Samsung and Google in the dust.

The Airpods will include a new audio driver and water resistance, but won’t sport water resistance.

Apple has also announced deeper Siri integration for Apple Music, including playlists that are optimised for usage via Siri, Apple’s voice assistant.

$19 polishing cloth goes viral online

Apple may have Unleashed its brand new MacBook laptops and Airpods, but another new product stole the show.

The tech giant unveiled its latest creation… which is a $19 dollar Apple-branded “polishing cloth.”

The brand-new polishing cloth works on all sorts of Apple products (and for that price, you’d want to hope so!)

Global memory chip shortage raises electronics prices; impacts PCs, smartphones, and likely continues until 2026.

A severe global shortage of memory chips is sending shockwaves through the electronics industry, causing prices to rise across consumer devices. Experts warn that this shortage will continue until at least 2026, affecting everything from PCs to smartphones.

Major manufacturers, including Samsung Electronics, have reported record profits but caution that rising memory chip prices could put further pressure on the sector. This shortage is largely driven by AI technology demands, forcing companies to rethink production priorities.

Consumers should expect higher costs for electronics in the coming months, with price increases likely to continue through the end of 2026.
