M5 MacBook Pro now expected in the first half of 2026
My 16-inch MacBook Pro M1 Max (maxed out except for a 4TB drive, instead of an 8TB drive) feels as fast and perfect as it did on day one. I am perfectly happy to wait for a major physical design change. Will a "new case" and an OLED screen M6 make me buy a new one? Dunno. Have you seen my Liquid Retina XDR display? It's pretty sweet. I used to get a new MBP every three-ish years. This fall starts the fifth year. Apple Silicon is one of the best Apple innovations since the Mac itself.

Is the Apple One subscription worth it in 2025?
We have Premier. The first three services are necessities for us. Our usage is:
iCloud+ 2TB: Constantly (We're at 1.7TB at the moment, after the ~OS26 transition, I'm betting we might need to bump up to 4TB)
Apple Music: Hours every day
Apple TV+: Almost every day
Apple News+: Semi-daily, but not a lot (the recipe catalog has me using it more these days)*
Apple Fitness+: A couple of times a week at most
Apple Arcade: Now and then
We're a small family, but are power users (nerds). Whenever they raise their rates, which has been often, I crunch the numbers. At a minimum we would need Family plus iCloud+ 2TB = $36 a month. So for two more bucks, we get the three services we could probably live without, but like I said, it's only two bucks.
*Now that we live in the worst timeline ever, I have blocked all mainstream news in the app for myself. It's all niche interests, food, Apple, cars, technology, HiFi, vinyl, music, film, TV etc...
