New Apple Software Products?


Recommended Posts

Before I give the load of stuff that apple rep told me, I want to share something with you. "I Hate Apple"

Now, I was at the apple store today. I needed to get my powerbook fixed [again] :x . I had the chance to play with the G5 and all the other stuff their, then i ran in to this cute rep lady which i was trying to flirt with. It didn't go that well, Then i just asked her "what is apple previewing on 28" she told me that apple, will be bring a lot of their powerpc software to mac. Mostly Pro software so they can preplace PowerMac's next. So what i hear is Mac Mini will be the last thing to go to intel... Odd but she said that Mac mini's are still sellings like crazy. Now, I believe this is news...

last time i went to an apple store the workers didn't even know that a universal dock for the ipod existed.

i love apple products, but i don't even talk to the workers in those stores let alone believe anything they say.

I have to agree with you... When I went to apple store to look at Powerbooks, [before I started hating mac's] the lady told me that Powerbooks are the best their is... The best at crashing!!!

At any rate. I was told the same thing from my friend who works for apple. So, she is correct.

usually apple is so secretive about their plans. so i guess since this is at one of their HQs instead of a bigger venue and invites were sent out so last minute it really isn't a big event. it just seems so un-apple to tell store employees what's going on ahead of time.

"fun, new products" does not mean updates to the pro software...although that could be an additional part of what is released on the 28th.

There is something else going on. Guarenteed.

Thought the universal binaries were gonna come out a few months later or was it March?.

Radish?

Ok, Here is a funny story... When Apple cameout with intel, I thought they went intel 100% like PowerBook Intel, PowereMac Intel etc. Well as everyone know, it never happened but I did try to buy something that wasn't out yet. The apple sales person had told me I should get a MacBook Pro, I was like why!? like why should i, I hate you guys anything... Before i could as anything like that, she told me that Pro software is due for march. So you are right:). :)

It was mentioned in the Key Note by Steve and it's also On the Pro's website...the conversion to U.B is due in March, so I wouldn't really be suprised if Apple push that out..

Actually, now that the Pro software are out, I'm just waiting on Adobe to jump on the band wagon so I can get a MacBook Pro...:happy:

Exactly, the people working there don't know anything of Apple's future plans nor do they have acces to unreleased stuff.

They know things the second we know things. The only hints they get is like "hold all current iMac models and expect new shipments" for example.

PLEASE stop with the I hate apple comments. It has gone past annoying and we really do not want to have to read that every time you post some sort of apple related news and or comment. Thank You.

If it is just going to be a bunch of software updates I am going to be highly depressed. It cant just be software updates though.

Well the news from the past 2 weeks have said that apple might be bring out a real ipod and cellphone... so don't be sad, be mad!

Not as much as you will be (Y)

It adds nothing to the conversation so it is appreciated.

I would love to see a real ipod/cellphone. Would be interesting to see what they would come up with.

.org? That would make no sense whatsoever. Someone just falsified the WHOIS info.

So is it safe to say that here-say is actually considered Back Page News these days?

Sorry to be such a stickler, but I come to this section for concrete news... not to read second hand speculation from an Apple rep reported by an admitted Apple hater.

If you hate Apple so much then why are you persisting with them? Why not just cut your losses and buy something else?

so what happenend? where are the pro tools? where you lying? was the rep lying? YES.... as everyone with even the tiniest insight into apple knows..... REPS know jack all when it comes to future releases. My mum has a better idea than a apple sales rep.

OWNED!!

:rofl:

Please go ask your "mum" what's next please. Very curious.

Please don't post immature comments. The Neowin community would appreciate it.

my point being Mr Texas, that its common knowledge that reps have nfi about what is coming out. This rep said pro tools for today and no mac mini. This made front page news (Tom Graham thought it fit to put it on the front page lol), when in fact both predictions were completely wrong.

My mum predicts iBook next to make the transition followed by Powermacs and Pro software at the same event.

Watch this space Texan!

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
    • Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 by Razvan Serea Microsoft Edge is a super fast and secure web browser from Microsoft. It works on almost any device, including PCs, iPhones and Androids. It keeps you safe online, protects your privacy, and lets you browse the web quickly. You can even use it on all your devices and keep your browsing history and favorites synced up. Built on the same technology as Chrome, Microsoft Edge has additional built-in features like Startup boost and Sleeping tabs, which boost your browsing experience with world class performance and speed that are optimized to work best with Windows. Microsoft Edge security and privacy features such as Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Password Monitor, InPrivate search, and Kids Mode help keep you and your loved ones protected and secure online. Microsoft Edge has features to keep both you and your family protected. Enable content filters and access activity reports with your Microsoft Family Safety account and experience a kid-friendly web with Kids Mode. The new Microsoft Edge is now compatible with your favorite extensions, so it’s easy to personalize your browsing experience. Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 changelog: Migration to improved V2 architecture for Workspaces. Workspaces, introduced in Edge in 2022, allows users to create durable sets of tabs that can be saved and shared with others. In order to improve reliability and performance of this feature, the following changes are being made: Migrating data for saved Workspaces from OneDrive/SharePoint to Edge Sync service Removing the collaboration/share functionality of this feature For organizations who have disabled Sync through policy, the existing v1 Workspace data will still be migrated to the new architecture. New v2 Workspaces created after migration won't sync across devices and will remain local to each device. This update occurs on a progressive rollout beginning in Edge Stable v145 and will continue rolling out in Edge v149. For more information, see Getting started with Microsoft Edge Workspaces. Feature Updates Passkey Sync for Enterprise Users. Microsoft Edge is introducing support for passkey synchronization for enterprise users, enabling secure, passwordless authentication across devices. Passkeys created in Edge can now be synced seamlessly, improving sign-in experience while maintaining strong security standards. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this change, check back as we continue the rollout. Enterprise WebView2 runtime downgrade via DowngradeVersion policy. Administrators can temporarily roll back specific applications to a previous WebView2 Evergreen Runtime version (N-1 or N-2) using the new DowngradeVersion policy in msedgewebview2.admx. The Downgrade Version policy allows enterprises to mitigate critical regressions by specifying per-application exe-to-version mappings. The Edge Updater installs the target version side-by-side, and the WebView2 Loader redirects targeted apps accordingly. Downgrades auto-expire with each new WebView2 release: apps pinned to N-1 remain on the same version (now becoming N-2) and will auto-update in the next release, while apps pinned to N-2 will revert to the current Evergreen version. The policy applies only to enterprise-managed devices (domain-joined or MDM-enrolled). For more information, see Microsoft Edge WebView2 Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn. Collections retirement. Collections has been removed in this update. Users can no longer access or use the feature. To keep saved content, users can export it, or move all pages to Favorites before updating to Microsoft Edge Stable 149. For more information, see Organize your ideas with Collections in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Support. Modern, unified, and updated Look and Feel. Microsoft Edge has updated the Look and Feel to give customers a unified experience across all of Microsoft AI surfaces including Copilot and Bing. This changes multiple elements of the UX such as spacing, corners, fonts, default colors, etc. Clarify choices surrounding third-party cookie settings. Language under Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies are clarified to better describe the choices users have in managing third-party cookies. Custom primary password retirement. Users are no longer able to create a new custom primary password in Edge Settings edge://settings/autofill/passwords/settings. Any users who are still using a custom primary password will be automatically migrated to device authentication. Additionally, the PrimaryPasswordSetting policy will no longer support the WithCustomPrimaryPassword option. For more information, see Keep your saved passwords private in Microsoft Edge | Microsoft Support. Unifying Copilot Chat policy controls. The Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled policy is the standard for configuring Copilot Chat. Previously, this behavior was controlled by blocking the Copilot extension, either explicitly or by using the * wildcard via the ExtensionSettings or ExtensionInstallBlockList policies. Extension and sidebar policies no longer affect the appearance or functionality of Copilot Chat. Copilot address bar suggestions were also tied to extension policy settings. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 149, admins can use the CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled policy to manage this behavior. Intune MAM Protected Downloads. The protected downloads feature for Intune MAM is now available for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) devices, which aren't managed by a tenant. Policy Updates / New policies CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled - Enable Copilot address bar suggestions CpuPerformanceTierOverride - Override for the CPU performance tier DataUrlInWebWorkerOpaqueOriginEnabled - Enable opaque origins for data URLs in Web Workers DefaultLocalFontsSetting - Default Local Fonts permission setting ForceForegroundPriorityForUrls - Force foreground priority for specific URLs LocalFontsAllowedForUrls - Allow Local Fonts permission on these sites LocalFontsBlockedForUrls - Block Local Fonts permission on these sites Deprecated policies WalletDonationEnabled - Wallet Donation Enabled (deprecated) EdgeWalletEtreeEnabled - Edge Wallet E-Tree Enabled (deprecated) Additional policy changes ForceForegroundPriorityForUrls - ForceForegroundPriorityForOrigins is renamed to ForceForegroundPriorityForUrls OnSecurityEventEnterpriseConnector - Add macOS platform support ProtectedContentIdentifiersAllowed - Remove macOS platform support Download: Microsoft Edge (64-bit) | 193.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Microsoft Edge (32-bit) | 170.0 MB Download: Microsoft Edge (ARM64) | 188.0 MB View: Microsoft Edge Website | Release History Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
