Comment: Apple's Spring Loaded Event – The Good the Bad... And Almost No Ugly

Today, both macOS Ventura and iPadOS 16 are arriving – both including the new and highly-awaited "Stage Manager" feature. Although Stage Manager does improve the iPad's flexibility, the feature feels buggy and out of place on the Mac.

All signs indicate that there will no longer be any fall 2022 Apple event, however, that doesn't necessarily mean that we'll be left waiting very long for new hardware either. According to Mark Gurman, there could be releases in just a few days.

Office isn't just a brand, it has become a generic term – describing Microsoft's suite of text editing, spreadsheet, and presentation software, as well as other programs. Despite this, Microsoft recently announced its intentions to rebrand "Office" under a new flag.

Yet again, we are witnessing the beginning of Apple's intensive testing process for a system version, the release for which is still quite a way into the future. As is likely the case, such occurrences in the past have traditionally indicated brewing innovations and new features.

The iPhone SE still trails behind the flagship models regarding several technical aspects. According to one new report, Apple may implement a larger panel with the traditional notch for the pending model. Whether or not this will include Face ID remains to be seen.

According to Mark Gurman, Apple is already working on switching its iPhones, iPads, AirPods, and all other Mac accessories to the USB-C standard – to satisfy current regulations in the EU. Now, it's possible that only one of the upcoming iPhone models could even come with a Lightning port.

"Think Different" counts as one of the most crucial advertising campaigns in Apple's history – and at the time, it was perhaps one of the company's most important. The segment "Here's to the crazy ones" was released 25 years ago, marking the beginning of a 5-year advertising campaign.

The iPhone 14 Plus is set to start sales – and the first test reports have come out. Overall, the reception is entirely positive – especially concerning the device's exceptional battery life. The display size is also a plus, although some complain about a missing Pro feature.

Apple wanted to introduce a new series of displays as early as this summer. However, the company's production partner – Quanta, was still met with lockdowns. As per a well-known and highly reliable display expert, there won't even be the expected fall display announcement.

Apple delayed iPadOS 16 until October 2022 – and according to some reports, Stage Manager is still quite error ridden in its current pre-release state. There's not much time left for Apple to remedy the situation either.

When Apple presented iSync 20 years ago, it may have looked like just about any other application on the market. However, its development triggered a change for not only the Mac world – but the entire computer world.

All four models of the iPhone 14 come with the new "Action mode" – which corrects shocks and jittery movements during video capture. A practical test reveals how well current smartphones from Cupertino perform compared to expensive action cameras.

Thus far, Apple's production strategy for the various iterations of the M1 provides some clues as to the upcoming M2 chips set for a reveal next month. The past offers a pretty good indication of how the future might look for the Mac Pro's highly awaited M2 Extreme.

Apple values Face ID as a superior technology to Touch ID. However, a fingerprint sensor is a more practical alternative in some situations. Despite continued speculation, Mark Gurman considers a Touch ID comeback to Apple's flagship iPhones almost entirely unlikely.

Despite his position as one of Apple's top managers, it took no more than two sentences in a short video until it was deemed necessary for him to clear his desk. A slightly modified film quote became the "Blevinator's" doom.

Thus far, the M1 chip was considered an irrefutable requirement for the function of the upcoming Stage Manager feature on iPad. Apple was not without criticism due to this imposition. Now, a change of tune can be heard – although there will still be limitations for the feature on older iPads.

Discussions about the Apple Watch Ultra frequently make reference to the product page's claim of extreme robustness. Is it really fair to attribute the same qualities of more "rugged" watches to what is known as more of a "lifestyle" product? An intensive test investigates the question – with some impressive answers.

Three years after the release of the first generation of AirPods Pro, Apple has now supplied us with a new edition containing many improvements – however, do the company's claims about the device's sound quality, battery, and noise cancelling hold true?

The new Apple Watch Ultra has one more key than any of its previous iterations. The new "Action Button" can start programs and even entire processes. Meanwhile, it has also become apparent exactly how the button is used to operate the device.

Calls per satellite connection: This potentially life saving feature is present in all four models of the iPhone 14. As far as the required hardware is concerned, Apple is working together with a partner, which the company actually hopes to be free of in the long run.

Apple has modified usage of the clipboard in iOS 16 to bring important security and data privacy improvements. The new feature, however, has annoyed quite a few iPhone owners – according to Apple, the new function overshot the mark a little.
