Apple Hasn’t Updated These Products in Over Two Years
Below, we have put together a list of five products that Apple sells that have not been updated in over two years, aside from new software features. The list excludes previous-generation products that remain available, such as the iPhone 12.
Apple Pencil
Released alongside new iPad Pro models in October 2018, the second-generation Apple Pencil will soon be four and a half years old.
A key feature of the second-generation Apple Pencil compared to the original one is that it can be magnetically attached to select iPads for wireless charging. Users can also switch between drawing tools and brushes within apps like Notes by double tapping on the second-generation Apple Pencil’s built-in touch sensor.
There haven’t been any credible rumors about a new Apple Pencil, so it’s unclear when the $129 accessory will be updated.
Mac Pro
Available since December 2019, the Mac Pro is now over three years old and is the final Intel-based Mac that Apple sells. The high-end desktop tower is expected to be updated this year with Apple’s M2 Ultra chip, which will make it the fastest Mac ever.
The new Mac Pro could be released this spring alongside macOS 13.3, according to Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman. He said the new Mac Pro will have the same design as the 2019 model, but lack user-upgradeable RAM and likely won’t support external GPUs. It’s unclear if Apple will continue to sell a rack-mountable version of the computer.
Pro Display XDR
Apple released the Pro Display XDR alongside the Mac Pro in December 2019, making it over three years old. The monitor starts at $4,999 and features a 32-inch screen size with 6K resolution, but it lacks a camera and a stand costs $999 extra.
In December, Gurman said Apple was working on multiple new external monitors, including an updated version of the Pro Display XDR that will be equipped with an Apple silicon chip, just like the cheaper Studio Display has an A13 chip. However, it’s unclear when the new Pro Display XDR will be released or other new features it will have.
AirPods Max
Released in December 2020, the AirPods Max are now over two years old. Apple’s over-ear headphones have not received any hardware updates since and remain priced at $549 in the U.S., with green, pink, silver, sky blue, and space gray color options.
Last month, well-known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said mass shipments of second-generation AirPods Max would likely begin in the second half of 2024 or the first half of 2025, but there’s always a chance that new color options could be introduced sooner.
The new AirPods Max could adopt several features from the second-generation AirPods Pro, such as an H2 chip, improved active noise cancellation, Adaptive Transparency mode, Conversation Boost, skin-detect sensors, longer battery life, and more, but it remains to be seen exactly what improvements are introduced with the new AirPods Max.
HomePod mini
Released in November 2020, the HomePod mini is now among the list of current-generation Apple devices that are over two years old. The smaller Siri-enabled smart speaker remains available for $99 and has not received any hardware updates since launching, although it did get new blue, orange, and yellow color options in November 2021.
Apple is not currently working on a new HomePod mini, according to Gurman, but it did recently enable the temperature and humidity sensor in the speaker.
Apple recently introduced a new full-size HomePod that launches this Friday.

The Callisto Protocol seemingly hasn’t met sales expectations
According to a recent report, the recently released The Callisto Protocol hasn’t met sales expectations.
Early last month, the first title from Striking Distance Studios, The Callisto protocol, launched to middling reviews. A relatively new studio led by Dead Space creator Glen Schofield, this first title of the company was clearly set up to be quite big, with Geoff Keighley giving it a big push at both Summer Games Fest last year, and at The Game Awards in 2020 where the game debuted. Except things haven’t exactly gone to plan, as according to MK-Odyssey, the game hasn’t sold quite as well as expected.
The report states that the game cost around 200 billion won, or £132 million, to develop, an obviously huge budget, which sales haven’t currently hit yet. The Callisto Protocol had been referred to as a quadruple A game, something we’ve heard the upcoming Perfect Dark reboot being called as well, obviously pointing towards the larger scale games are approaching.
MSI Afterburner developer hasn’t been paid because of Russia’s war against Ukraine
Russian developer Alexey Nicolaychuk has said MSI Afterburner is probably “dead.” A Russian programmer better known for creating the seminal RivaTuner hardware monitoring application, Nicolaychuk is the sole coder working on the tool, and he hasn’t received a single payment by Taiwanese hardware company MSI in a year.

Bruno Fernandes claims he hasn’t seen Cristiano Ronaldo interview and that he has ‘no problem’ with Man Utd team-mate
BRUNO FERNANDES claims he hasn’t seen Cristiano Ronaldo’s explosive interview with Piers Morgan.
His Portugal team-mate caused shockwaves throughout football, dropping a number of bombshells about Manchester United during his chat with the SunSport columnist on TalkTV.

The 37-year-old more or less severed ties with the “disrespectful” Old Trafford club.
But now on international duty at the Qatar World Cup, Fernandes, 28, reckons it’s a moot point.
He told Sky Sports: “I didn’t read the interview.
“As I said before, now it’s the national team. It’s Portugal. The coach made a point that it’s us.

“He made that point since I came to the national team in 2017. That is still clear. In his mind, the main thing is the national team. We have to be focused on the World Cup.
“Cristiano has done really well to play at five World Cups – this will be his fifth time. Everyone is ready for that and everyone wants the best for the team.”
The United playmaker went on to say that he had “no problem” with the stroppy superstar.
He had appeared to give Ronaldo a frosty reception as the pair met up for Portugal duty on Monday.

But Fernandes added: “I was watching one of the channels that said it was cold and bad.
“They went on a commercial break, the national team sent them footage with the sound, the sound revealed that he was joking with me.
“If they explained what was really true in that video, people would know. Manchester United will be my focus after the World Cup.
“I have no problem with anyone. I do my job.”
Part two of the incredible interview, ’90 Minutes with Ronaldo the footballing legend’ on Piers Morgan Uncensored aired on Thursday.
During the show, Ronaldo blasted Erik Ten Hag’s “excuses” as he unleashed another scathing rant at the United boss.
The Portugal striker had another pop at Ten Hag after already saying he felt betrayed, did not respect the Dutchman and criticised the club’s owners.
When asked about not being brought on when the club was being thrashed by Manchester City last month, Ronaldo, 37, said: “Excuses, I see as excuses.

“He can have a different opinion than me. They choose the players that they think are better for the team.
“I respect that but excuses all the time have short legs, he cannot excuse all the time. It’s things that don’t make sense.”
