Apple's latest M4 MacBook Pros have adopted quantum dot (QD) technology, a significant upgrade over traditional KSF displays. This shift promises improved colour accuracy and motion performance.

We might see an Apple smart home security camera market in 2026. At least, that is what analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is reporting. He wrote in a post saying the company targets "annual shipments in the tens of millions." Chinese tech company GoerTek will supposedly be the exclusive assembly supplier.

Kuo said the smart home camera would integrate with other Apple hardware products wirelessly and be part of a larger smart home ecosystem centred around Apple's HomeKit platform. He suggested you can see what's being recorded via the Apple TV or through an iPhone, Apple Watch, and other devices that can interact with the camera. Apple has not made a public statement about the arrival of this camera, but Kuo has a track record of breaking these product launches, so it might be worth keeping an eye on.

Another Apple product we might not see soon is the more affordable version of the Apple Vision Pro. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said in a tweet on Sunday that the mixed-reality headset might be "delayed beyond 2027." The reasons he cited its lackluster mass appeal.

"I think what really drove Apple to delay the cheaper Vision Pro is that simply reducing the price wouldn't help create successful use cases," Kuo wrote. "It's similar to the HomePod situation -- even after launching the cheaper HomePod mini, Apple's smart speakers failed to become mainstream products."
