As everyone waits for the new Apple Foundation Models trained by Gemini, Google is pushing ahead on bringing a native Gemini app to the Mac. It'll be similar to those offered by Anthropic and OpenAI.

Macs could finally get a Gemini app

Apple and Google have always been uneasy partners. Google Maps predated Apple Maps on iPhone, and Google is always slow to adopt new Apple APIs in its apps.

Some of that has shifted in Apple's favor since the Gemini partnership was announced. First, a native YouTube app was finally released on Apple Vision Pro, and now Gemini is getting a native app on Mac.

The new MacBook Neo won't come close to competing with the MacBook Air or especially MacBook Pro for video editing and gaming, but it will for the browsing, writing, and music that most users need.

Apple has made its MacBook Neo $500 cheaper than the lowest-cost M5 MacBook Air, and it's done so in part by switching to an iPhone processor. Using the A18 Pro from the iPhone 16 Pro, this is not going to match the M5 in Apple's more expensive laptops.

Apple has finally continued to roll out its Mac updates as part of the M5 generation. Following the initial salvo in October, which saw the base 14-inch MacBook Pro go from M4 to M5, Apple has moved on to the other models.

This time around, it's the turn of the M5 Pro and the M5 Max, the high-performing cousins to the M5.

M5 MacBook Pro is more expensive, but cheaper than the previous storage upgrade.

Apple's updated its online ordering system to accommodate the M5 Pro and M5 Max versions of the MacBook Pro. However, it also made a small change to the existing M5 14-inch MacBook Pro.

Bringing the entry-level MacBook Pro in line with the other chip tiers, the M5 now starts at 1TB of storage, with options for 2TB and 4TB. The previous 512GB storage option is no longer available from Apple directly.
