While inventors haven’t quite given us a ”Star Trek” replicator, 3D printers are the next best thing. After success with titanium printing, Apple will tackle the challenges of 3d printing with aluminum to make products like the iPhone.iPhone’s aluminum chassis could one day be 3D printedThe Apple Watch Ultra 3 uses a 3D-printed titanium unibody case. It was Apple’s first 3D-printed product, but more are on the way as innovations make the process more efficient.According to the Power On newsletter, Apple is working to increase its use of 3D printing in product manufacturing. It is likely going to be used in Apple Watch models first, but the goal is to eventually print iPhones. Rumor Score: 🤔 Possible Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums

Let’s get the obvious out of the way first: if you’re reading TechSpot, you’re probably not the target audience for a laptop with a locked-down 8GB of RAM, no Thunderbolt, and a maximum of 512GB of storage. You built your rig. You know what PCIe Gen 5 means. You’ve got strong opinions about thermal paste. The MacBook Neo is not for you.
But here’s the thing about disruptive mainstream products – they rarely are for us. And the MacBook Neo might be the most consequential laptopannouncement in years, possibly since the original MacBook Air almost 20 years ago. Not because of what it does for power users, but because of what it does to the market that has existed almost entirely below the notice of enthusiasts: the budget Windows laptop space.

With the Apple Watch Ultra 3, Apple introduced a new 3D-printing manufacturing processfor the titanium shell – allowing the company to save on raw materials, improve on cost, and use 100% recycled titanium powder. The company also uses 3D printing for the titanium version of the Apple Watch Series 11, as well as the USB-C port on iPhone Air.
Now, the company is looking to expand that process to aluminum – allowing most Apple Watch shells to be 3D printed. Further ahead, it may even come to the iPhone, per Mark Gurman’s Power On newsletter.

AI has made it vastly easier for malicious hackers to identify anonymous social media accounts, a new study has warned.
In most test scenarios, large language models (LLMs) – the technology behind platforms such as ChatGPT – successfully matched anonymous online users with their actual identities on other platforms, based on the information they posted.
The AI researchers Simon Lermen and Daniel Paleka said LLMs make it cost effective to perform sophisticated privacy attacks, forcing a “fundamental reassessment of what can be considered private online”.

Apple’s second-generation MacBook Neo will launch in 2027 and could feature a touchscreen, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.Apple this week announced the MacBook Neo, an all-new entry-level Apple laptop that starts at $599, with education pricing at $499. The MacBook Neo is designed to compete with lower-cost Windows laptops and Chromebooks, while expanding the Mac lineup with a substantially more affordable option.
Unlike every other Apple silicon Mac, the MacBook Neo is powered by the A18 Pro chip originally developed for the iPhone 16 Pro. The machine features a colorful rounded design, a 13-inch Liquid Retina display with uniform iPad-style bezels rather than a notch, a color-matched Magic Keyboard, a mechanical trackpad, two USB-C ports, 8GB of memory, a headphone jack, a 1080p camera, dual mics, dual speakers with Spatial Audio, and a 16-hour battery life.

Bad Bunny’s much-discussed Super Bowl halftime show has been named as the most-watched of all time.
The Puerto Rican superstar became the first Latin male artist and the first artist performing primarily in Spanish to take the prestigious headline slot last month, playing a set that celebrated the history and diversity of Latin music styles.
The set saw guest appearances from Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, while Pedro Pascal, Cardi B, Jessica Alba and Karol G were all spotted among the dancers.
