The company repeatedly delayed its flagship Apple Intelligence upgrade to Siri, signaling strategic and engineering problems in artificial intelligence (AI). By early December 2025, Apple’s longtime AI chief John Giannandrea announced he was stepping down, human interface design chief Alan Dye joined Meta, and Apple revealed that general counsel Kate Adams and environment/policy head Lisa Jackson would retire in 2026, with Meta’s legal chief Jennifer Newstead coming in to run a newly combined Legal and Government Affairs organization.

Apple launched its Creator Studio subscription service on January 28, 2026, bundling Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, and Pixelmator Pro for $12.99 monthly—about one-sixth Adobe Creative Cloud's price. The software debuted without the expected M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro models, but recent leaks show the chips in iOS beta and reseller stock dwindling, pointing to an imminent launch with macOS 26.3 in February or March. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman continues to expect high-end models 'in the first half of 2026,' with code names J714 and J716.
