After launching the cheapest Mac in history, Apple is preparing three ‘Ultra’ products. Wants to go for both ends of the market

by

A few days after the arrival of MacBook Neothe cheapest Mac in history, we know thanks to Mark Gurman in Bloomberg that Apple is preparing three products for this year. All three aspire to be the most expensive in their category. And that contrast says a lot about Apple’s strategy for the immediate future. The panoramic. Gurman is the journalist with the best history of leaks about Apple. And he has published in his newsletter Power On that Apple plans to launch at least three products with the Ultra surname, or at least with its essence (the most powerful and expensive in its range): A foldable iPhone. We have been listening to it for years and It seems that 2026 is going to be the year. Expected price of around $2,000. It does not replace the Pro Max, but rather points to another form factor and to those who want to have the most advanced device in the line. AirPods with camera sensors. They would be above the AirPods Pro in price. Its differential would not be in the audio but in space capabilities that the cameras would provide. Macbook Ultra. Although it is not confirmed that it will be called that. With OLED touch panel and M5 Ultra chip. It would be the most expensive and powerful laptop ever launched by Apple, aimed at those who already spend similar amounts on a mac studio plus a monitor. All this in the same year that Apple launches the MacBook Neo for $600. He counted. They are complementary movements. The Neo lowers the barrier to entry into the Mac ecosystem, and the Ultra raises it for those who are already inside and can (and want) to go further. Apple has been trying a similar logic for some time. He first Apple Watch Ultra It arrived in 2022 for about double the price of the current Series. Without being a radically different product, it found its buyer: who wanted the best Apple Watch possible without the price being a major obstacle. It worked. Between the lines. The touch screen on a Mac deserves separate attention, because Apple justified not incorporating it a few years ago, when there was some pressure for it to do so, explaining that touching a computer screen is uncomfortable due to the position of the arm. The question. Just because the strategy is coherent on paper does not mean that all products will be able to sustain it. The foldable iPhone will arrive after seven years with other foldables on the market, without anyone being able to turn it into a bestseller. AirPods with cameras are going to have to offer something that justifies the spending premium, not just a gimmicky demo for the first few days. And the MacBook Ultra will have to justify its price with something that only that laptop can deliver. Apple knows better than anyone that a premium line demands that premium products truly deliver. In 2026 we will see if it is up to the task with this new shipment that seeks to raise the ceiling of several lines.

part of the Mac mini will be manufactured in the US

by

It’s not every day that Apple can announce that one of its products will begin manufacturing in the United States. The company, whose supply chain has been supported for years in Asia, has confirmed what part of mac mini will be produced in Houston later this year. We are not talking about the iPhone or its best-selling laptop, but rather its most affordable desktop computer, a model that, according to estimates by Consumer Intelligence Research Partners, represents less than 1% of total sales. Still, the movement is symbolic and comes at a time when domestic manufacturing is once again at the center of the industrial debate in Washington. The announcement is specific. Apple will begin producing the Mac mini at a facility in north Houston later this year. Manufacturing will take place at a plant operated by Foxconn, the same industrial partner that already assembles the company’s advanced AI servers there. “Apple is deeply committed to the future of American manufacturing and we are proud to significantly expand our presence in Houston with Mac mini production beginning later this year,” said Tim Cook in the official statement. The company presents the move as an expansion of its industrial presence in Texas and as part of its commitment to strengthen operations on US soil. What’s in Houston. The complex in the north of the city is not starting from scratch. Over there Foxconn It already assembles the advanced servers that Apple uses for its artificial intelligence services, including equipment that incorporates logic boards produced on site and shipped to data centers within the United States. The campus will have two buildings: one operational for servers and another, described as a large warehouse, which will be converted into about 220,000 square feet of space for the Mac mini. The pressure and the tariffs. The step is part of Apple’s commitment to invest $600 billion in the United States over the next four years, a promise the company made following President Donald Trump’s threats to impose a 25% tariff on products manufactured abroad. As we can see, these types of spending commitments occurred in a context of pressure to increase domestic investment, in exchange for tariff exemptions. Limited movement. Sabih Khan, Apple’s chief operating officer, explained to The Wall Street Journal that production in the United States is designed to cover local demand as the line gains capacity, but that thousands of units will continue to be manufactured in Asia. Additionally, the Mac mini represents less than 5% of global Mac computer sales and less than 1% of total sales, according to estimates by Consumer Intelligence Research Partners. And something very important: there is also, for now, no plan to move the manufacturing of the iPhone to the country, the product that really supports the bulk of the business. Texas was already part of the map. Before the Mac mini, the Mac Pro had been the flagship of Apple computer manufacturing in the United States. Since 2013 it has been assembled in Austin and in 2019 the company reiterated its commitment to that facility, relying on American suppliers and a tariff exclusion for certain components. More than a radical change, the decision represents a calculated adjustment. Apple expands its manufacturing presence in Texas with a product of moderate scope, in a context in which supply chains remain international.

Steve Jobs presented an emulator in 1999 to turn any Mac into a playstation. Sony did not even grace

by

January 1999. MacWorld Expo de San Francisco With Steve Jobs on stage. After a presentation loaded with video games and focused on how well those video games run in front of the PC versions, Jobs made Una of the most controversial presentations that have been seen in a scenario of a company of Apple’s reach: that of a PlayStation emulator. Steve’s goal was for each MAC to become a PlayStation I could run games like ‘Crash Bandicoot‘, something possible by the hand of a company called Connectix and of a software called Virtual Game Station. In an ecstatic Sony for the success of their console, they should not give credit to what was being affirmed in one of the most projection events worldwide. The punishment for the creators of the emulator? Be bought … by Sony. Turn each mac into a playstation In 1998, the field of video games for Mac was … Campo. In PC you could enjoy the Lucasarts great adventuresof ‘Warcraft‘, from’ Devil ‘, De’Age of Empires II‘And that same 1998 jewelry was born’Starcraft‘ either ‘Half life‘, But the situation in Mac was very different. There were some projects, yes, and companies like Bungie had interesting games such as ‘Marathon’, but the PC win was incontestable in the entertainment segment. A young programmer named Aaron Giles came up with one thing. Hey, if the MAC has a CD reader and the USA PlayStation CD, Why couldn’t a PlayStation game into a Mac? Giles worked for Connectix, a company founded in 1988 with a very curious story. They developed pioneer software for Mac, but with each new version of Mac OS, Apple ‘stole’ those functions that they had developed to include their own. What Apple did was buy Shareware versions of the same concept that Connectix developed, and so they did not have to make deals with the Connectix itself. Not only did they do hardware: they also took the mac from the sleeve Quickcamone of the First webcam in historythat They sold to Logitech in 1998. But the emulation was the strong point of this company and the focus of many of the developers of the same. Let’s go back to the history of Giles. The programmer began working on the project in 1998 and the truth is that, being able to read Sony’s games with a standard CD-ROM reader, the hardware part was solved. “Only” You had to focus on emulating the bios And the PlayStation environment, but by January 1999 I already had it ready. Thus, on stage, Jobs announced to the world the Game Station virtual emulator, or VGS. “Our goal is to have the best game platform in the world,” said Jobs, who showed below a photo of a playstation. “This is another video game console, the most popular at this time. Wouldn’t it be great if we could also play some of your games?” With that lapidary phrase, Jobs presented the Connectix product adding that it was an emulation software that would sell for $ 49 and that “turn your Mac into a Sony PlayStation.” Less than half of what cost a PlayStation. I imagine Sony’s executives spitting the sake when they learned that Jobs had said that. Hallucinatory “There are hundreds of games that can reproduce from the PlayStation,” said Jobs, who gave way to a Phil Schiller – world marketing director of Apple products – that did not reduce the enthusiasm or tone. Steve giving way to Phil before playing ‘Crash Bandicoot 3’ “This is very cool,” Phil began. The possibility of using a Mac, my MAC, to execute all the great playstation games quickly and economically only putting the game is a fantastic idea ” AND, Neither short nor lazy, he began to play ‘Crash Bandicoot 3’. “It is Sony’s most popular game at this time,” said Phil without cutting off a little (something that today is absolutely unthinkable) and … he began to play. That title had come out just a few months before and ran at 100% speed in a Mac (after a couple of pulls) simply by putting the CD and running VGS. The question was how. How they had been able to emulate perfectly in a IMAC G3 At 233 MHz an RISC processor at 33 MHX, being this of a completely different architecture. And the most impressive is not that, but Giles got it without using a Sony code line. Before continuing I will summarize How an emulator works. It is something that recreates the hardware and system of a console on another platform. In this case, a program that recreates a PlayStation in a MAC. The emulator makes “translator” In real time among the game instructions, which are designed for consoles hardware, to the instructions of the host device. It is something that consumes many resources because you must do a double job, but the really complicated thing is to emulate the BIOS. BIOS means Basic Input Output Sustm and is the essential software of the console that controls the start and interaction between the hardware and that console. For VGS to work, he had to emulate that bios. Giles contacted Sony to help them with the BIOS of PlayStation and, before the Japanese refusal (and an cessation and withdrawal letter by Sony), the programmer did something as absurd as great: thoroughly investigate the machine, study the original bios and rewrite it from scratchlike an own bios. It was absurd because it was a titanic task, but also great because Sony couldn’t do … nothing. Sony’s disbelief That same 1999, Connectix launched VGS for Mac and most games ran fantastically on Apple computers. There were characteristics, such as the vibration of the PlayStation command, which did not work, but it was something that impacted allowing, for 49 dollars, all the owners of a Mac have, in practice, a playstation. For sale of games it would not go wrong because a window of potential users opened, but as we said before, Sony should … Read more
