This MacBook is still on track, as Mark Gurman reports. It is the heart of the new Mac launches at the beginning of 2026. The screen is 13 inches in size. With the product, Apple is primarily competing with inexpensive Windows laptops and Chromebooks. Cupertino also wants to provide an incentive to attract new customers to its own ecosystem who have so far been deterred by the high prices. Gurman emphasizes again that an iPhone chip is used, but does not go into more detail about its specifications. According to rumors, the A18 Pro known from the iPhone 16 Pro is doing its job.
Does Fitness+ have to make room for a new health subscription?
The future of Fitness+ is uncertain: the service is still under scrutiny, says Gurman. If he had to guess, he would expect the following scenario: The Health app will eventually merge with Fitness+ in some way, so Cupertino may offer a new subscription that combines several health-related aspects. That wouldn’t be entirely surprising: reports recently circulated that there was very low demand for Fitness+.
Fitness+ offers various types of training such as cycling, HIIT and yoga. The app displays and saves real-time data on selected vital functions. The sessions are now available with German dubbing. According to Gurman, Apple is actually working on a subscription service that includes an AI-supported health coach. Fitness+ could be integrated into this service and be accompanied by a greater variety of functions.
