Apple is reportedly working on a new “gaming-focused” Mac that it will unveil at WWDC, a sketchy new rumor claims.

Meanwhile, former CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs sadly passed away, and Tim Cook took charge of the company.
But as different as some things are, others stay the same. Case in point: AAPL has had its best stock performance in 2019 since 2009.
