What we’re tracking on 26 October 2016

Apple has inadvertently leaked images of its new MacBook Pro. The function row is indeed replaced by an OLED panel and it has TouchID, thinner bezels, visible speakers on the 13” model and — this is going to be unpopular with a lot of you — what appears to be a keyboard on the order of the 2015 / 2016 MacBook, which we absolutely love. MacRumors broke the news. The new model rolls out at an event tomorrow (Thursday, livestream here) at 10am PDT (7am CLT). The news came as Apple released its earnings yesterday, slightly missing analyst expectations for the final quarter of its fiscal year, but projecting record sales over the coming holiday season (earnings release or Reuters coverage).

We hate to rain on your parade, but the National Weather Service is apparently calling for rain and warm temperatures in Cairo on Thursday and Friday, Ahram Online reports, adding that thunder and lightning storms could pass over Upper Egypt as well as areas of the Red Sea and Sinai.
