Apple Prepares To Delay The Next MacBook Pro
Apple is on course to release the new iPhone 17 family in September, but the outlook for MacBook Air and MacBook Pro fans is not as rosy. Apple looks to have delayed the release of the new macOS hardware into 2026.
MacBook Pro Launch Date Details
The new date comes from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Reporting on Apple's upcoming portfolio (including the long-suspected iPhone 17e), he notes that the upgraded MacBook Pro and MacBook Air laptops may not arrive until 2026.
Until now, the expectation has been that Apple would introduce the M5 —the next desktop classic Apple Silicon chipset—before the end of the year with new versions of the iPad Pro and MacBook Pro. This would be a similar path to the release of the Apple Silicon M4 last year, but not identical.
The M4 was launched ahead of Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference in May 2024 and debuted inside the seventh generation of the iPad Pro almost immediately. That was followed in the fall with the M4 MacBook Pro, MacBook Pro Max and MacBook Pro Max.
Delaying The MacBook Pro
The Apple Silicon M5 has yet to show up in 2025. The Worldwide Developer Conference came and went with nary a sight of the new silicon. Neither has the next iPad Pro or the MacBook Pro. Many have been looking at the traditional October dates for the release of the MacBook M5 family, potentially with the iPad Pro arriving at the same time.
Gurman's report pushes back this launch date into 2026.
Apple has taken this route before, with the MacBook Pro M2 pushed back into January 2023. Unlike the iPhone, which has an almost mythical need to launch in the second week in September. Arguably, that's linked to the one-year contracts provided by networks, and there's no such historical support for buying laptops and desktops.
Keeping The MacBook Pro On An Annual Schedule
That gives Apple a little bit more of a cushion ot get things right rather than follow a strict schedule, at least for hardware. The annual updates across the operating systems does refresh the ecosystem every twelve months. With the increased demand for artificial intelligence and Apple's push to process as much data locally, the demands on computing power are climbing ever upwards. In part, that demand is driving the update.
It may not be as traditional as the locked-in September date, but with the operating system on an annual update cycle, and the Apple Silicon chipsets on a similar schedule, annual updates of the Mac hardware are inevitable.

Google Keep could finally add the search option you've wanted for years (APK teardown)
TL;DR Google Keep might finally let users search within a single note. The app currently allows finding content across all notes. With the new 'Find in note' feature, users will be able to locate something specific within one particularly long or detailed note. For years, Google Keep users have been asking for a simple but much-needed feature, and it looks like their pleas are finally being answered. We've found strong evidence suggesting that Google's note-taking app will soon give users the ability to search within a single note. As crazy as it sounds, Google Keep does not support searching within notes right now. While the app's existing search function works well for finding content across all notes, it doesn't help much when you're trying to locate something specific within one particularly long or detailed note. Authority Insights story on Android Authority. Discover You're reading anstory on Android Authority. Discover Authority Insights for more exclusive reports, app teardowns, leaks, and in-depth tech coverage you won't find anywhere else. An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release. While digging through version 5.25.282.00.90 of the Google Keep Android app, we discovered a new 'Find in note' feature. With some effort, we were able to surface the new option inside individual notes in Google Keep. The feature can be accessed by tapping the three-dot menu in the bottom right corner of any note. The new 'Find in note' search option is listed right on top of other note actions like 'Delete,' 'Make a copy,' 'Send,' and more. Unfortunately, the feature isn't fully functional just yet. Tapping the option currently causes the app to crash, which suggests it's still in the early stages of development or testing. Still, this is a promising step for Google Keep, especially for users who rely on it for long-form content, checklists, and detailed notes. A similar feature is already available on Apple's default Notes app for iPhones. Samsung's Notes app also supports searching within a single note, including handwritten notes, which is a nice touch. While it's not clear when (or if) the feature will roll out to Google Keep, the fact that it's being worked on at all is a good sign. We'll be keeping an eye on future Keep updates to see how this develops. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

IXOPAY Surges Past 500 Certified Adapters, Solidifies Leadership in Enterprise-Grade Payment Orchestration
With 200 PSPs and 300 payment methods, IXOPAY is unlocking faster global expansion, improved approval rates, and full-stack control for enterprise merchants. LEHI, UT / / July 15, 2025 / As global commerce accelerates, enterprise merchants are hitting a wall - their legacy payment stacks weren't built for the scale, complexity, or speed modern commerce demands. To stay competitive, merchants need infrastructure that adapts across markets, providers, and payment methods without costly rewrites or vendor lock-in. IXOPAY, a global leader in enterprise-grade payment orchestration, is addressing that challenge head-on with the announcement it has reached 500 certified adapters, connecting 200 payment service providers (PSPs) and 300 payment methods through a single, vendor-agnostic API. Payment orchestration is rapidly emerging as vital infrastructure for modern payments, and its effectiveness depends on the scale and breadth of the adapter ecosystem. IXOPAY's industry-leading global adapter network eliminates processor lock-in, accelerates integrations, and enables seamless expansion into international markets. As businesses modernize their payment stacks, IXOPAY turns infrastructure into a strategic advantage. "You can't scale globally without reliable, enterprise-ready connections," said Brady Harris, CEO of IXOPAY.

Nvidia is set to resume China chip sales after months of regulatory whiplash
Nvidia announced Monday that it's filing applications to restart sales of its H20 artificial intelligence chips to China, capping a spasmodic few months that saw the Trump administration impose restrictions, then quickly reverse course after a high-profile dinner meeting. The company expects to receive U.S. government licenses soon and begin deliveries shortly after, according to a blog post. Nvidia is also introducing a new 'RTX Pro' chip designed specifically for the Chinese market, calling it 'fully compliant' with regulations and ideal for digital manufacturing applications like smart factories and logistics. The H20 chip sits at the center of a broader U.S.-China tech standoff. While not Nvidia's most advanced AI processor, the H20 is the most powerful chip the company can legally sell to China under existing export controls. It's specifically designed for 'inference' tasks — running existing AI models for day-to-day applications — rather than training new AI systems from scratch. Chinese tech giants including ByteDance, Alibaba, and Tencent had been aggressively stockpiling these chips in the first three months of this year in anticipation of stricter export controls. The chip's appeal lies partly in its superior memory bandwidth compared to Chinese alternatives, along with Nvidia's widely-adopted software ecosystem that makes the hardware easier to deploy. The regulatory back-and-forth began in April when the Trump administration restricted H20 sales, potentially costing Nvidia $15 billion to $16 billion in revenue, judging by how much Chinese firms reportedly splashed out for them in the first quarter alone. The move targeted chips exceeding specific performance thresholds, including total memory bandwidth of 1,400 gigabytes per second or input/output bandwidth of 1,100 GB per second. But the restrictions were fairly short-lived. Soon after CEO Jensen Huang attended a $1 million-per-head dinner at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in early April, the administration paused the ban. According to NPR, Huang promised new U.S. data center investments and American jobs in exchange for continued chip access. (Within a week of NPR's report being published, Nvidia announced plans to build AI servers in the U.S. worth as much as $500 billion over the next four years, with help from partners such as TSMC.) The flip-flopping has drawn criticism from U.S. lawmakers who argue it undermines the country's efforts to limit China's AI capabilities. Chinese startup DeepSeek took the AI world by storm earlier this year by building a model rivaling OpenAI's ChatGPT using Nvidia's H800 chips, which are slightly more powerful predecessors to the H20. (The U.S. banned the sale of those H800 chips back in October 2023, but Chinese suppliers have managed to figure out workarounds.)

Boston, MA | REGISTER NOW In a statement sent to TechCrunch, Nvidia spokesman Hector Marinez said Huang has been meeting with officials in Washington and Beijing this month, 'emphasizing the benefits that AI will bring to business and society worldwide.' In the meantime, this latest whole episodes underscores the ongoing balancing act that U.S. policymakers are facing, with concerns about national security concerns running up against powerful commercial interests. Given what we've already seen in 2025, we can probably expect more reversals of its kind, too.
