Amazon is saying bye-bye to Muse while Walmart is rolling out the welcome mat for Meta’s shopping agent

AI shopping bots are knocking, and Amazon is pretending nobody is home

Meta muse charm front

For years, Amazon has been working to become the go-to place for online shopping. But what happens when shoppers don’t have to go to Amazon at all? That's the question as AI shopping agents start to change the way people discover, compare, and buy products. And while Amazon builds walls, some of its competitors are going for a different strategy.

In a report from The Wall Street Journal, Amazon swiftly shut down Meta’s new Muse AI shopping agent from being able to purchase items on its platform, citing safety concerns. Meanwhile, Walmart and Shopify have struck deals with Meta, buying into Muse. The contrast could hint at a seismic shift in online retail, where the next fight might not be over who has the best shopping website, but which platform AI agents decide to patronize.

Entry-level MacBook Pro could get its overdue design overhaul next year

You might want to hold off on the new M6 MacBook Pro, as its successor could offer a substantially different design.

M6 MacBook Pro lifestyle

Apple recently unveiled the new entry-level MacBook Pro with an M6 chip, alongside the touchscreen model, which the company is calling the "MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display." The entry-level model does have some upgrades besides the chip, like a longer battery life and a 12MP Center Stage camera system, but it completely missed out on many of the core design overhauls that the premium model carries. That said, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has reported that next year's model will come with a redesign similar to the OLED model.

What could change with the M7 MacBook Pro?

Apple could be readying another silicon leap for the OLED MacBook Pro

Apple’s next touchscreen MacBook Pro may focus on AI and faster M7 chips

Apple’s move into touchscreen MacBooks may be only the beginning of a bigger hardware shift. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the company is already planning second-generation versions of its OLED MacBook Pro lineup for next year, with upgraded M7 Pro and M7 Max chips expected to bring new AI hardware capabilities.

The report suggests Apple is not looking to stop at adding touchscreens and OLED displays to its professional laptops. Instead, the next generation could put more emphasis on the silicon powering them, potentially giving the MacBook Pro a more substantial upgrade beyond its new display technology.
