A memo spotted by MacRumors indicated Apple Stores and Authorized Service Providers will be able to buy speakers as standalone components for the 14-inch and 16-inch M4 MacBook Pro with the M4 family of chips. A source added itll be an option for repairs on earlier MacBook Pro models with Apple silicon as well. Until now, the speaker repair process entailed replacing the whole top case, including the battery and other parts, which understandably increased the cost. It may not necessarily be a simpler repair the guide shows a rather involved process but not having to also replace other parts should shave the price.

UK watchdog says Apples rules restrict iOS browser competition A law passed earlier this year will let the CMA hand out hefty fines. The UKs Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has provisionally concluded Apples restrictive mobile browser policies limit innovation. Google is also guilty of this, but Apples more closed ecosystem has become the focus. The board says third-party browser developers have complained theyre constricted by rules, like Apples requirement to use the companys WebKit browser engine. The CMAs summary of Apples hearing reveals the iPhone maker argued it restricts browser engines to ensure users get the best security, privacy and performance on iOS devices, which sounds familiar.

In its heyday, I used the PlayStation Portable (PSP) obsessively, but I haven't been pulled in by other handheld devices no, not even the Nintendo Switch. That could change in the future as Sony is reportedly developing a new portable console that would offer games directly on-device, Bloomberg reports. Yes, the handheld device will allegedly have games right on the device, so you won't have to invest in a PlayStation 5 (or whatever number we're up to at that point). The news comes from unnamed sources with Sony declining to comment on the possible development. Sony currently offers the $200 PlayStation Portal but, unlike my beloved PSP and the PS Vita, only works for streaming games from your PlayStation. We were not fans when Sony released it last November, giving it only a 68 in our review and found it to be "among the most fickle devices" out there. It's not the best quality picture, even when it and the PS5 have stable Wi-Fi connection. However, we've come to appreciate it over the past year, with some of Engadget's editors really enjoying it. Also, last week Sony started testing cloud streaming on the Portal for PlayStation Plus Premium members. It's a much more reliable connection than in the past and offers over 120 PS5 titles.

Fans of random Love Island spinoffs rejoice! Peacock just dropped a doozy of a Black Friday deal. Customers can now sign up for a year-long subscription to the streaming service for just $20 or six months at $2 per month. Thats a discount of 75 percent, no matter which option is selected. The promotion is live right now, but ends on December 2. Peacock doesnt have the name recognition of Netflix or Hulu, but its still home to plenty of good shows and movies. Theres a reason, after all, that the platform made our list of the best streaming services. Peacock isnt just home to the aforementioned Love Island and other reality shows about love not set on islands. The streamer also airs some top-notch content like the AI-centric Mrs. Davis and the surprisingly-decent video game adaptation Twisted Metal. A Peacock subscription also allows access to SyFy shows like the underrated The Ark. Other worthwhile programs include Hysteria!, We Are Lady Parts and Killing It. There are a few little caveats. First, this subscription is the one with ads. Also, the offer is only available to new subscribers who are not currently paying for Peacock Premium or Premium Plus. Finally, its only available directly from Peacock, and not from third-party billers like Apple or Amazon. Check out all of the latest Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals here.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/deals/peacocks-black-friday-deal-grants-a-full-year-of-access-for-20-080004658.html?src=rss
