    Apple makes three different sizes of MacBook Pro: a 13-inch, a 14-inch, and a 16-inch model.

    Macworld
    We’ve known for several months that OS 27 would largely revolve around performance gains, design tweaks, and the big Siri upgrade first previewed in 2024. To no one’s surprise, WWDC26’s main keynote turned out to be exactly that and, as such, was one of the most uneventful Apple events in a long time. While the forthcoming operating systems pack plenty of smaller quality-of-life updates, the conference lacked any sort of surprise factor: Headlining features had leaked
