    Apple to announce Q1 2026 financial results on Thursday, January 29

    For the finance nerds and people with a stake in Apple, the company has announced that it will announce its Q1 2026 numbers on Thursday, January 29, at 5:00 p.m. ET.

    As usual, the company will be holding its earnings call, complete with forward-looking statements and a question-and-answer segments with analysts at the end of the call.

    The fiscal Q1 is always the first full quarter of new iPhone sales, plus a new M5 Mac, iPad Pro, and Apple Vision Pro launched in the same period. Analysts were mostly bullish during the quarter thanks to Apple’s positive forward-looking statements.

    The report should include some interesting elements, such as how the company is being affected by tariffs, and how, despite the President’s exceptions, Apple paid $1.1 billion in Q4 and expects to pay $1.4 billion in Q1.

    All eyes are on Apple as it enters one of its most critical years yet. This may be Apple’s last chance to become relevant with Apple Intelligence, and there are several new products expected like a smart home hub and an iPhone Fold.

    Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.

  • Apple releases macOS Sonoma 14.5 update, appears to largely focus on bug fixes over new features

    Apple releases macOS Sonoma 14.5 update, appears to largely focus on bug fixes over new features

    It may not be a huge update, but it’s out the door.

    Apple on Monday released its macOS Sonoma 14.5 update, which appears to have very few visible updates and could largely be considered a series of bug fixes.

    Among the issues that appear to have been fixed is a bug wherein certain FaceTime users have been unable to answer or reject a call. The issue had to do with notifications not displaying the Accept or Decline buttons, and this, along with other issues, seems to have been fixed.

    As usual, the update can be located, downloaded, and installed by going to System Settings > General > Software Update.

    Alongside the macOS Sonoma update are updates for Monterey, Ventura, and Sonoma. Monterey gets an update to version 12.7.5, Ventura has been updated to 13.6.7, and Sonoma has been updated to version 14.5.

    If you’ve had a chance to try the updates, please let us know about your experience in the comments.
