Apple unveiled new MacBook Pro, iMac computers and three new chips in an online event on Monday (Oct&nbsp;30). The tech giant has said that it has redesigned its graphics processing units (GPU). Chipmaker Nvidia dominates the market in this aspect.

The new M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max chips will power the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro laptops and new iMac desktops. The 14-inch MacBook Pro would start at USD 1599 and the price of the 16-inch version will start at USD 2499. The iMac desktop with the M3 family of chips will cost USD 1299 upwards.

Apple has seen an uptick in its Mac business. Reuters reported that the company has roughly doubled its market to almost 11 per cent since 2020. In that year, Apple parted ways with Intel and started the use of its own custom-designed chips.

Apple's custom chips use technology from Arm Holdings. The use of these chips has resulted in better battery life. In some tasks, it has also imparted better performance than machines using Microsoft Windows.&nbsp;

During the launch, Apple said that the M3 Max chip was designed with artificial intelligence (AI) developers in mind. AI developers need a massive amount of memory in order to develop chatbots and other models.

The company said that the use of these new chips would be a first for laptops and desktops which use 3 nanometer manufacturing technology. This, said Apple, will give the chips better performance per watt of electricity used.

Apple did not reveal who was making these chips. However, it is believed among analysts that the chipmaker is Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing. This company uses the same technology to make chips for top iPhone 15 versions.

Apple officials, during the event, compared the performance of the new Macbooks and iMac to older Apple machines that had chips made by Intel. They sought to underline the processing speed customers would get when they upgrade their devices to the latest ones.

Apple launches new MacBook Pro with display notch and ‘powerful’ processors

A federal judge on Monday rejected<a href="https://www.wionews.com/science-tech/how-apple-disrupted-the-world-16525">&nbsp;Apple&nbsp;Inc's</a>&nbsp;bid to dismiss a proposed&nbsp;class-action&nbsp;lawsuit by customers who said it knew and concealed how the "butterfly"&nbsp;keyboards on its&nbsp;MacBook&nbsp;laptop computers were prone to failure.

US&nbsp;District Judge Edward Davila in San Jose, California said&nbsp;Apple&nbsp;must face claims that its troubleshooting program did not provide an "effective fix" for&nbsp;MacBook&nbsp;design defects, or fully compensate customers for their out-of-pocket expenses while seeking repairs.

Customers claimed that their<a href="https://www.wionews.com/business-economy/dont-fly-with-apples-old-macbook-pro-laptops-dgca-requests-passengers-245804">&nbsp;MacBook</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/science-tech/apple-unveils-new-macbook-pro-with-touch-bar-hikes-price-8031/amp">MacBook&nbsp;Pro</a>, and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/hold-on-is-apple-going-to-lauch-new-ipads-this-month-36267">MacBook&nbsp;Air</a> laptop&nbsp;keyboards suffered from sticky keys, unresponsive keys, and keystrokes that failed to register when tiny amounts of dust or debris accumulated under or near keys.

They also said&nbsp;Apple's service program was inadequate because the Cupertino, California-based company often provided replacement&nbsp;keyboards that had the same problems.

The lawsuit covers purchasers of model year 2015 or later&nbsp;MacBook&nbsp;laptops, and model year 2016 or later&nbsp;MacBook&nbsp;Pros laptops. It seeks a variety of damages for violations of several states' consumer protection laws.

Apple&nbsp;did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Benjamin Johns, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said he was pleased with the decision and looked forward to pursuing the case.

Last month,&nbsp;Apple&nbsp;introduced a&nbsp;MacBook&nbsp;Pro with a larger screen and new "Magic"&nbsp;keyboard&nbsp;with the "scissor" mechanism more commonly found in the industry. The hinged butterfly mechanism resembles a butterfly's wings.

Mac sales, including various&nbsp;MacBook&nbsp;models, accounted for about 10 per cent&nbsp;of&nbsp;Apple's $260.2 billion of net sales in its fiscal year&nbsp;ended September&nbsp;28.

The case is In re MacBook&nbsp;Keyboard&nbsp;Litigation, US&nbsp;District Court, Northern District of California, No. 18-02813.

Don't fly with Apple’s old MacBook Pro laptops: DGCA requests passengers

Apple said on Friday it had found some issues affecting some of its iPhone X and 13-inch MacBook pro products and said the company would fix them free of charge.

The repair offers are the latest in a string of product quality problems over the past year even as Apple has raised prices for most of its laptops, tablets and phones to new heights. Its top-end iPhones now sell for as much as $1,449 and its best iPad goes for as much as $1,899.

Apple said displays on iPhone X, which came out in 2017 with a starting price of $999, may experience touch issues due to a component failure, adding it would replace those parts for free. The company said it only affects the original iPhone X, which has been superseded by the iPhone XS and XR released this autumn.

The screens on affected phones may not respond correctly to touch or it could react even without being touched, the Cupertino, California-based company said.

For the 13-inch MacBook Pro computers, it said an issue may result in data loss and failure of the storage drive. Apple said it would service those affected drives.

Only a limited number of 128GB and 256GB solid-state drives in 13-inch MacBook Pro units sold between June 2017 and June 2018 were affected, Apple said.&nbsp;

Last year, Apple began a massive battery replacement programme after it conceded that a software update intended to help some iPhone models deal with aging batteries slowed down the performance of the phones. The battery imbroglio resulted in inquires from U.S. lawmakers.

In June, Apple said it would offer free replacements for the keyboards in some MacBook and MacBook Pro models. The keyboards, which Apple introduced in laptops starting in 2015, had generated complaints on social media for how much noise they made while typing and for malfunctioning unexpectedly. Apple changed the design of the keyboard this year, adding a layer of silicone underneath the keys.
