On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we catch up on some of the latest major rumors about Apple's upcoming iPhone, iPad, and Mac models. We talk over what upgrades Apple could bring to the next-generation iPad Air, when it will launch, the ‌iPad‌ lineup as a whole, and the current state of working with iPadOS. The first Macs with the M3 chip, including a refreshed 13-inch MacBook Pro model, are now actively rumored to launch starting in October and we discuss what other machines we could expect to see. We also look at the rumor that the iPhone 15 lineup could be the first to feature stacked battery technology.

Next year's iPhone 16 Pro Max is now rumored to feature a super telephoto camera with a focal length beyond 300mm in addition to a 12% larger sensor, so we discuss the implications of these changes.

We also review the new Beats Studio Pro headphones and how they compare to the AirPods Max. Follow us on Twitter @danbarbera and @HartleyCharlton.
