Apple just refreshed the iPad Air with its M3 chip, making the midrange tablet fully ready for Apple Intelligence. It packs a 60% faster Neural Engine over the M1 model to speed up on-device AI tasks, landing in 11-inch and 13-inch sizes at the same $599 starting price alongside a cheaper Magic Keyboard.
Security firm Trail of Bits just disclosed a vulnerability dubbed LeftoverLocals impacting GPUs from Apple, AMD, and Qualcomm, allowing attackers to siphon up to 180 megabytes of data directly from local GPU memory. The flaw exposes user queries and model weights from locally run LLMs. Apple patched it on M3 and A17 chips, but millions of older devices remain vulnerable.
Apple just hosted its late-night "Scary Fast" showcase to reveal its next-generation M3 family of silicon. The event brought major GPU upgrades to refreshed 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros powered by M3 Pro and Max, alongside an overdue refresh for the 24-inch iMac.
