**New MacBook Pro Models Expected to Launch Before End of Year**

Rumors have been circulating about new MacBook Pro models, which are expected to feature an updated Apple Silicon chip and a complete design overhaul. The new machines do away with the Touch Bar in favor of a standard row of function keys and re-adopt many ports that were abandoned in prior models, including an SD card slot and an HDMI port. Additionally, they are believed to have Mini LED displays.

The new MacBook Pro models are expected to feature either the M1X or M2 chip, which will provide improved performance and efficiency compared to their predecessors. The updated designs also include a return of MagSafe technology for charging purposes, as well as Thunderbolt 4 ports.

**AirPower Prototype Spotted**

A recently leaked video on Twitter appears to show a functional AirPower prototype, which was announced by Apple in 2017 but never released due to concerns over safety. The video shows an iPhone being placed on the AirPower charging mat, and an on-screen animation is triggered when the device is in use. This animation has only been previously seen in Apple's early marketing materials.

The AirPower prototype appears to work as expected, with the iPhone's charge displayed on the screen and the ability to charge other devices placed on the pad simultaneously. While it's unclear whether this will ever be released as a consumer product, the fact that it still functions suggests that Apple may have made progress in addressing the safety concerns.

**Future iPhones to Feature Reduced Notch**

Apple has been researching ways to reduce or eliminate the notch on its future iPhone models. According to a newly granted patent, one of these features would involve creating a "window region" in the display when not in use, allowing cameras and other sensors to function without being obstructed by the notch.

When these parts are not in use, the display would move back over the window region, hiding the sensors underneath. This mechanism could potentially allow for the notch to be reduced or even eliminated entirely, providing a more seamless user experience.

**Apple Brings Back Dedicated Store Tab**

Apple has brought back a dedicated store tab on its website, making it easier for customers to find and purchase products directly from the site. The new design resembles the Apple Store app version and features current deals and promotions, as well as accessories and products that Apple is highlighting.

Navigation is now done through horizontal scrolling, which feels more natural on iOS devices than on desktops. This change should make it easier for customers to find what they're looking for without having to navigate multiple pages or sections.

**Updated Magic Keyboard with Touch ID Available**

Apple has released a new Magic keyboard with Touch ID for use with M1 Macs, starting at $99 for the standard width and $179 for the full-size keyboard. The keyboards are newly designed to match the 24-inch iMac versions but lack Touch ID.

However, it's worth noting that these keyboards will only work with M1 MacBooks, Airs, Imacs, and MacMinis, as they rely on Touch ID for authentication. This could potentially make them less appealing to customers who want a more universal solution.

**New Radeon Pro Modules Available**

Apple has made standalone purchases of updated graphic modules for the Mac Pro, including three new Mpx modules: the Radeon Pro W6800X for $2,800, the Radeon Pro 6800X Duo for $5,000, and the Radeon Pro 6900X for $6,000. These modules can be installed in Mac Pros using Infinity Fabric Link technology, providing enhanced multi-GPU performance in applications like Final Cut Pro.

The new modules are expected to offer improved performance and efficiency compared to previous models, making them a valuable upgrade for Mac Pro owners who want to take advantage of the latest graphics technology.
