20 Years Of Mac OS X & The Beginning Of A New Era For Mac

A rough look at Apple's chip manufacturing partner, TSMC, is able to reveal a great deal concerning the future of Apple's chips. A report lays out the next 3 years, with direct outcomes for Apple's product policy.

Now that Ming-Chi Kuo has revealed new information about the iPhone 12's predecessor, it's time for the iPhone SE. The budget series has a safe future with a new model on the way – but not too soon.

For the first time in a year, all Apple stores in The United States are open again – at just the start of this year, dozens of stores remained closed due to local infection rates. In addition, the "Music Memos" app is now history.

Min-Chi Kuo has some new information concerning Apple's upcoming iPhone plans, according to which opponents of the "notch" have reason to celebrate. Those in want of an entirely new iPhone should find 2023 to be a fruitful year.

Microsoft founding founder and former CEO Bill Gates revealed his preferred smartphone platform in an interview. He relies on Android devices as many come with preinstalled Microsoft apps, amongst other decisive reasons.

The streaming platform Apple TV+ hasn't seen any booming popularity. According to analyst Dan Ives, this is the result of a severe error on Apple's part, who should have purchased Netflix. Cupertino would be well advised to acquire a film studio.

In recent weeks, there's been discussion about scam apps and their place in the App Store, including criticism against Apple for not doing more to protect users from such fraudulent apps. Now, Apple's review team may start to take action against such dishonest offers.

Spotify has kicked into full-force, having released an almost 2 hour-long video detailing new features for listeners and artists alike, and Spotify HiFi is certainly one of the highlights. Similar to some of its competitors, the service provider will adopt lossless playback in the near future.

Currently, the MacBook Air is only available with a 13" display. However, reports of a potentially larger variant have been circulating for some time now. According to Bloomberg, Apple is working on such a model now – though it may take some time to hit the market.

Apple just released a system update for macOS Big Sur. The update should fix an error that could cause hardware defects in certain laptops (2019 MacBook Pro users and 2020 MacBook Air).

The upcoming iMac won't only have a considerably different looking interior. The all-in-one computer from Apple is likely to come with new housing to accompany the processor change – and according to leaker Jon Prosser, lots of color.

Up until now, Apple has avoided the trend going on in much of the professional software world. Applications such as Adobe Photoshop or MS Office that were once available for a 1-time fee are now only available with a subscription. However, Cupertino's "Final Cut Pro" may make the switch to becoming a subscription-based service.

The new MacBook Pro 16" with Apple's in-house M1 chip could be met with even more applause than expected – several reports state that Apple plans to walk back on controversial design decisions made with previous models in recent years.

External display users have been encountering a few difficulties of late: Mac minis with M1 chips have been showing pink rectangles and pixels on some external displays. Apple is now leading an investigation into this matter and has named several steps to circulate the problem.

The 1st 5G capable iPhones went on sale just a few months ago – and almost immediately after, Apple began working on the 6G standard. Although 6G is still a ways off, Apple wants to be first in line.

According to new statistics, problems with peripheral devices and accessories are the cause behind most support inquiries for iMac, MacBook Pro, and Mac Pro – and considerably more so than problems with the computer's internal hardware or OS. For Windows computers, it's the other way around.

A look at current market shares over the course of the last 12 months reveals that Windows has taken a big hit and ChromeOS has clearly overtaken macOS. However, these values only represent half the truth – a direct comparison is difficult for multiple reasons.

The MacBook Pro M1, MacBook Air M1, and Mac mini M1 don't just look good in benchmarks – they also show off their strong performance when it comes to running applications. A current comparison shows how much better they perform than Intel computers.

There's still a great deal of work to be done before operating systems other than macOS can be run via virtualization on M1 Macs as with previous ones. Parallels has made another important step in this direction with the 2nd technical preview of Parallels 16.

Next to the Apple Car, a folding iPhone has long been considered to be "the next big thing" from Cupertino – in the last few months, there've only been more indications that this is the case. Now, a market analyst has even predicted a release date.

The scent of a March event being brewed by Apple has been traveling around for quite some time now, although it's still unclear what Apple plans to present. Now, leaker Jon Prosser claims that Apple will finally show off the AirTags and new iPad Pro models.
