That will make it by far the biggest iPhone battery yet.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-my-takeaways\">My takeaways<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019d hate to lose the Action button, as I use it all the time on my iPhone Air. While I\u2019m doubtful Apple plans to remove it altogether, unexpected changes are always possible with a brand new form factor like this.<\/p>\n<p>For example, I wouldn\u2019t have thought Apple would ship a high-end flagship iPhone without Face ID. But it seems like that\u2019s exactly the plan, since Touch ID will be integrated into the iPhone\u2019s power button.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-high-end-m5-macbook-pro-launch-appears-imminent\">High-end M5 MacBook Pro launch appears imminent<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/02\/m5-macbook-pro.jpg?quality=82&#038;strip=all\" alt=\"M5 MacBook Pro\" class=\"wp-image-990687\" srcset=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/02\/m5-macbook-pro.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/02\/m5-macbook-pro.jpg?resize=155,78 155w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/02\/m5-macbook-pro.jpg?resize=655,328 655w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/02\/m5-macbook-pro.jpg?resize=768,384 768w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/02\/m5-macbook-pro.jpg?resize=1024,512 1024w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/02\/m5-macbook-pro.jpg?resize=1536,768 1536w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/02\/m5-macbook-pro.jpg?resize=350,175 350w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/02\/m5-macbook-pro.jpg?resize=140,70 140w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/02\/m5-macbook-pro.jpg?resize=1600,800 1600w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/02\/m5-macbook-pro.jpg?resize=290,145 290w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/02\/m5-macbook-pro.jpg?resize=600,300 600w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/02\/m5-macbook-pro.jpg?resize=150,75 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>It continues to look like the high-end M5 MacBook Pro models might be Apple\u2019s next product launches.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Gurman at Bloomberg said they\u2019re planned for the macOS 26.3 release cycle. But more significantly, he pointed to dwindling stock of high-end M4 MacBook Pros at the Apple Store.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-my-takeaways-0\">My takeaways<\/h3>\n<p>Now that AirTag 2 has broken the ice as the first Apple product of 2026, it seems&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/02\/05\/rumor-replay-new-iphone-fold-specs-mac-launches-and-more\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rumor Replay: New iPhone Fold specs, Mac launches, and more https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/02\/05\/rumor-replay-new-iphone-fold-specs-mac-launches-and-more\/ Publish Date: 2026-02-05 16:34:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":210454,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/02\/rumor-replay-iphone-fold-rr-orange.jpg?resize=1200%2C628&quality=82&strip=all&ssl=1","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[69],"class_list":["post-210453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iphone","tag-ios"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210453"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=210453"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210453\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":210455,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210453\/revisions\/210455"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/210454"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=210453"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=210453"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=210453"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
