The Latest News:
Apple Approves First Hardware Colour Calibrator

The Calibrite Display Plus HL has now officially been approved for use with Apple’s hardware-level display calibration workflow, making it the first colorimeter supported by Apple’s newer calibration system for its professional displays. Up until now, photographers and other creatives using displays like the Apple Studio Display or Pro Display XDR could still profile their screens with regular calibration tools, but not perform full hardware-level calibration directly through Apple’s system without extremely expensive professional equipment.
With the new support, the Display Plus HL can now write calibration adjustments directly to compatible Apple displays. That includes things like white point, luminance, and overall colour accuracy adjustments at the hardware level. According to Calibrite, a single calibration can now update all reference modes simultaneously across SDR and HDR workflows. The device also supports displays reaching up to 2,000 nits of brightness, including Apple’s newer HDR-capable panels. Compatible devices include the Apple Studio Display, Pro Display XDR, and newer MacBook Pro models using Apple Silicon chips from the M1 Pro/Max generation onward.
The update also adds support for Apple’s newer CMF 2026 colour system, which moves beyond the older CIE 1931standard traditionally used in display calibration. Apple displays are already known for being very colour accurate out of the box, but like any monitor, colour performance can slowly change over time depending on usage and environment. That is where calibration becomes important for photographers, video editors, and other colour-critical workflows. The Calibrite Display Plus HL comes in at $339. Hardware-level calibration support requires macOS Tahoe 26.4 or newer.
The Latest Leica SL3-P Rumours

The latest rumours around the Leica SL3-P suggest that the company could be preparing a new model positioned between the current 24MP SL2-S and the 60MP SL3, with most reports pointing toward an announcement sometime around May or June 2026. According to the leaks so far, the camera is expected to use a 44.3MP full-frame sensor, which many believe could be related to the sensor platform used in Panasonic’s newer full-frame cameras. Leica and Panasonic have shared technology through the L-Mount alliance for years, so that part at least sounds plausible.
Most of the rumours right now are centred around autofocus improvements. Current reports suggest the camera could feature around 800 autofocus points, along with a significantly improved AF system that is supposedly faster and more capable than the current SL3-S. Leaks also suggest the overall body design and operating experience may move closer to Panasonic’s newer generation of cameras, which could mean changes to menus, handling, and overall responsiveness. Video specifications are still less clear, though, and several sources claim that Leica may intentionally reduce video capabilities compared to other SL3 models in order to create more separation inside the lineup.
There is also some lens speculation happening alongside the camera rumours. Multiple reports suggest Leica could introduce a new SL 100mm APO Macro lens around the same time, although no technical details have surfaced yet. Current pricing rumours place the SL3-P somewhere around $6,500, which would position it directly between Leica’s lower-resolution and higher-resolution SL bodies.
