Apple just dropped a massive wave of new hardware, and we need to talk about it. The star of the show is definitely the new MacBook Neo, bringing the A18 Pro chip from the iPhone to a laptop starting at just $599. But there is a lot more to cover.

In this episode, I break down the entire release schedule. We start with the M4 iPad Air, which gets a bump to 12GB of base memory and Wi-Fi 7.

We also look at the new iPhone 17E, which finally ditches the 128GB storage tier, adds MagSafe charging, and features a 48-megapixel fusion camera.

For your desk setup, Apple refreshed the standard Studio Display with Thunderbolt 5. They also introduced the 27-inch Studio Display XDR, which features a mini-LED panel, a 120-hertz refresh rate, and HDR brightness capabilities.

Finally, we cover the quiet spec bumps to the M5 MacBook Pro and M5 MacBook Air , before diving into why the new MacBook Neo might be the most popular laptop Apple has made in years.
