9to5Mac’s July 14, 2026 episode of 9to5Mac Daily recaps four Apple-related stories, led by a report that the rumored M7 Ultra could support as much as 1.5TB of RAM — a figure that would finally match the 2019 Mac Pro.
The episode also highlights a report that Apple is developing new Apple Pencil models for release next year, possibly with replaceable batteries. Another item says iPhone 18 Pro Max component costs could rise by nearly $300.
The podcast roundup also notes that the OpenAI hardware timeline is unchanged after an Apple lawsuit.
