Apple could be about to launch a host of new MacBooks. The company is planning a major event next week at which it will update at least some of its Macs, according to a new report. The most likely new computer is an update to the 24-inch iMac, which was first released in April 2021 and has not been updated since. But Apple could also be planning new versions of the MacBook Pro. Apple is preparing for a Mac-related launch event that could happen on either Monday, 30 October or the following day, according to Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman. He cited sources with knowledge of Apple’s plans, but also noted that stock for Apple’s existing Macs is running low. That 24-inch iMac as well as the 13-, 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro all show long waits for delivery in both the online and physical Apple stores, he noted. That can suggest that an update is incoming, as Apple clears out old units before the new ones arrive. The last time that Apple held its results in November came in 2018, when Apple released new iPads and Macs in late October. Apple will also be holding its quarterly results in November this year, Mr Gurman noted. The new reports do not indicate what changes Apple might be planning for the new computers. But the 24-inch iMac has now gone almost three years without an update, and is still using Apple’s old M1 chip, making it the only computer in Apple’s line-up to do so. A new 24-inch iMac would presumably update that processor while presumably making other changes. It is less clear how Apple would update its 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro, which are the very top of its professional line-up. Those received upgrades to Apple’s top-of-the-line M2 processor family in January. Mr Gurman suggested that the computers could also get “minor improvements to displays”. Previous reports have suggested that Apple could be adding more efficient screens to those premium laptops.

The incoming head of Twitter has said she is ready to take on Instagram’s rumoured rival to the text-based app. Linda Yaccarino, who is set to take over as chief executive of the social media platform at the end of June, shared her reaction to the anticipated Twitter clone, tweeting: “Game on!” Instagram’s parent company Meta reportedly shared details about its plan for a microblogging app with creators last week, claiming that it would be partially integrated with Instagram. Leaked details suggest the as-yet unnamed app, codenamed P92 or Barcelona, will be decentralised and could work with Twitter’s rival Mastodon. “We’re exploring a standalone decentralised social network for sharing text updates,” Meta said in a statement to Money Control. “We believe there’s an opportunity for a separate space where creators and public figures can share timely updates about their interests.” Social media consultant Matt Navarra claimed that it would launch this summer, and that Instagram’s billion-plus users around the world would be able to keep their username, followers, and verification on the new app. He added that Meta is targetting “film and television actors, producers, writers, directors, showrunners, athletes, and comedians” to join the new platform. Elon Musk revealed Ms Yaccarino as his successor earlier this month, saying that she will focus primarily on business operations, while he continues to oversee “product design and new technology”. Together, they plan to transform Twitter into “the everything app”, which is expected to have similar functionality to China’s WeChat. Stretching beyond social media, Mr Musk’s X app could support shopping, news, mobile payments, and other services like booking restaurants and ordering taxis. “WeChat has a lot of functionality that Twitter should have,” he said during a Twitter Spaces session last year, just one month after acquiring the company in a deal worth $44 billion. The tech billionaire has also committed to making Twitter the “digital town square”, while acting as “an accelerant” to the X app. Read More Linda Yaccarino: How Elon Musk may have hired his biggest critic to head Twitter Google to delete Gmail and Photos accounts in huge purge Elon Musk calls working from home ‘morally wrong’ Sky Mobile hit by massive outage
