What to expect from Apple’s ‘week’ of Mac announcements

Spooky season is Mac season.

First up, we’re expecting Apple’s Writing Tools for rewriting, proofreading, and summarizing, plus a newly designed Siri, new Photos app features such as Clean Up (akin to Google’s Magic Eraser), and live transcriptions of phone calls and voice memos. In addition to including new M4 and M4 Pro chips, the new Mac Mini is rumored to shed its USB-A ports and be about as tiny as an Apple TV streaming box. They’re among the final Apple devices to still use the Lightning port and feel sorely out of place now that the iPhone has switched over (and as the EU’s deadline to move to USB-C creeps closer).
