Surprise & Shine is the name for Apple's 9 September event, where we expect to hear about the iPhone 18 and long-rumoured foldable iPhone Ultra. But perhaps a bigger surprise was this week's largely unexpected announcement of a new Max mini and Mac Studio.
The Cupertino tech giant has upgraded the silicon in both of its desktop computers. The new Mac mini comes with a choice between Apple's M5 Pro or new M6 chip, while the Mac Studio comes with either the M5 Max or M5 Ultra. In each case it's an iterative but significant jump that should mean better performance in creative software.
