OLED MacBook screen & M6 chip close to mass production
Apple’s rumored second MacBook Pro release in 2026 is getting closer to reality, with production of the M6 chips and OLED display set to start within months.
The rumor mill firmly believes that Apple will be bringing out a second MacBook Pro update in 2026, with an OLED screen accompanying the M6 chip. Work is being carried out to produce both of the core components, ahead of each item’s summer mass production.
The OLED screen, arguably the main reason for the update, will be produced by long-time supply chain partner Samsung Display, reports The Elec. According to the publication, it will be first mass production of an eighth-generation OLED line in the world, known as A6.

Use an external SSD with Final Cut Pro for iPad or risk losing your work
In AppleInsider testing, Apple Creator Studio‘s Final Cut Pro for iPad is proving buggy, and if you use the default settings, your work can even be completely lost.
The problems we’ve seen specifically concern Final Cut Pro for the iPad as included in the new Apple Creator Studio bundle. But the workaround is also useful for the previous subscription version of Final Cut Pro for the iPad, and it could save you from other problems.
That’s because, by default, any video you edit in Final Cut Pro on the iPad is contained within the app’s own internal library. Then if you ever need to delete the app and reinstall it, that internal library is wiped and all of your work is lost.

Apple may have lost the odd AI researcher, but it continues to publish significant papers on the topic. Previously it has published about limiting AI from taking actions a user didn’t approve, and examining how to prevent hallucinations.
Now in a study called “Principled Coarse-Grained Acceptance for Speculative Decoding in Speech,” researchers from Apple and Tel Aviv University, have focused on text-to-speech applications.
