Apple has advised its retail store employees to expect a "major rush" of customers this week, according to Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman . In his Power On newsletter today, Gurman said some employees believe Apple's preparations for the new products this week are "on par with what happens before the debut of new iPhones in the fall," suggesting that at least one of the devices set to be unveiled between Monday and Wednesday will have "major mainstream appeal." The new product likely to receive the most interest is the rumored lower-cost MacBook , which is described as an "incredible value" within Apple, according to the newsletter. Apple believes that a more affordable MacBook will help to "drive a serious number of switchers from Windows machines and Chromebooks," wrote Gurman. While there have been no concrete rumors about the lower-cost MacBook's starting price, estimates range from $599 to $799 in the United States. In any case, qualifying college students and educators should receive $100 off the regular price. The lower-cost MacBook is expected to be powered by the iPhone 16 Pro's A18 Pro chip , rather than an M-series chip, and it will reportedly have a smaller 12.9-inch display. Based on A18 Pro specs, this MacBook will likely have 8GB of RAM, and the laptop will likely have regular USB-C ports instead of faster Thunderbolt ports. Like the iBook from the early 2000s, it has been rumored that this MacBook will come in fun color options, like yellow, green, blue, and/or pink . Beyond the lower-cost MacBook, most if not all of the other new products coming this week are expected to feature upgraded chips and little else. Possibilities include an iPhone 17e with an A19 chip, an iPad Air with an M4 chip, an iPad 12 with an A18 chip, a MacBook Air with the M5 chip, and MacBook Pro models with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips.

TL;DR: Solo-mine Bitcoin from your desk with BlockChance™ for $49.97 — compact, standalone, and with lifetime updates included. Most people assume Bitcoin mining requires a loud warehouse, industrial cooling, and a power bill that makes you sweat. BlockChance™ Bitcoin Ticket Miner flips that idea on its head. This compact, desk-friendly device lets you solo-mine “lottery tickets” for a chance at earning an entire Bitcoin block reward , all for $49.97 (MSRP $149.99). No massive rigs. No PC required. Just plug it in, connect to WiFi, and let it run. Powered by official, license-free NMMiner firmware, BlockChance pushes 1,000 KH/s — roughly 18 times more hashing power than typical ticket miners — meaning more ticket submissions and improved probability. It operates silently, consumes about 18W of power, and displays real-time stats on a built-in 2.8-inch touchscreen so you can monitor hashrate and activity at a glance. It’s fully standalone thanks to its ESP32 architecture with WiFi and BLE connectivity, and it includes free lifetime firmware upgrades. Solo mining is probability-based and not guaranteed, but for Bitcoin believers, collectors, and curious tinkerers, the upside is what makes it compelling. If you want a low-power, always-on shot at solo-mining Bitcoin, you can grab the BlockChance™ Bitcoin Ticket Miner for $49.97 for a limited time.
