Google finally bringing Gemini app to Mac after Apple partnership open_in_new

2 Apple Insider • 2d ago

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.

How and why MacBook Neo will excel for most everyday tasks open_in_new

8 Apple Insider • 2w ago

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.

MacBook Neo will suit the majority of users

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.

Yet where the MacBook Air and in particular the MacBook Pro are most powerful is in work that requires multi-core use. That's video editing, model rendering, image editing, some audio editing, and certainly scientific work.

9 Apple Insider • 2w ago

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 drops 512GB, gets $100 hike and 1TB storage open_in_new

13 Apple Insider • 2w ago

In parallel with Tuesday's MacBook Pro launch with M5 Pro and M5 Max processors, Apple culled the 512GB storage option from the M5 14-inch MacBook Pro, raised the price by $100, and is now supplying 1TB of storage.

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.

Perplexity on AI’s friction vs time savings (answered macOS app question using other platforms): AI can be both high-friction and net-valuable, but only in certain task types and with the right expectations, and current systems absolutely can mislead people about how reliably time-saving they are.

AI is more like Augmented Interaction. Or Aggregation Instrument. No intelligence. Definitely artificial at times. Strong with historical review. Strong context required. Can turn into productivity loss. Strong data lookup capabilities. Complex, but no learning, despite appearances.

Unbelievable that iOS 26 still limits the sleep alarm when Apple Watch is used. The message: When you wear Apple Watch to bed, the alarm will go off on your watch. And only your watch! No option to include phone or just do to phone. Even worse, watch doesn’t always go off! Apple fail. 👎
