&lt;p&gt;This week in the Apple ecosystem was dominated by unprecedented, across-the-board price increases on Macs and iPads stemming from a severe global memory shortage. Meanwhile, the hardware pipeline crystallized with John Ternus preparing to take over as CEO this fall, aiming to restore the design team&amp;rsquo;s prominence just as Apple gears up for its highly anticipated $2,500 foldable iPhone Ultra. On the software front, developers diving into the iOS 27 and macOS 27 Golden Gate betas are uncovering radical, system-wide AI integrations that redefine core experiences like Siri and Shortcuts.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>2026-06-25</title><link>https://macworks.dev/docs/week/apple/apple-2026-06-25/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://macworks.dev/docs/week/apple/apple-2026-06-25/</guid><description>&lt;details&gt;

Meanwhile, iOS 27&amp;rsquo;s beta continues to impress developers with substantial AI upgrades to core apps like Shortcuts and Siri.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
