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

One of the most important new features of iPadOS 16 and macOS 13 Ventura is Stage Manager – which will also enable individual windows on the iPad. Apple's Senior VP of Software Engineering recently discussed Stage Manager at length and its limitations in an interview.

A report from a few days ago claimed that Apple is working on a comeback for the MacBook 12", but this time with the company's newest M-chip, of course. That being said, there is some doubt within the industry and a well-known market expert has now added their contrary take.

Media of an official iPhone 14 Pro Max dummy has already leaked. Now, a video of the other official iPhone 14 leaked dummies is also in circulation. The video shows the dummies from all sides and reveals the visible differences between the series.

Apple Pay is getting one feature richer – in this case concerning deferred payments. After financing offers for the Apple Card, Cupertino is now expanding its financial services – although Apple Pay Later also makes other signficant steps.

Things on the desktop market are about to get even more uncomfortable for Intel. Not only is Apple no longer a customer of the company, there are also new competitors entering the playing field. One of these is even convinced that they will be able to build a faster ARM-based chip than Apple.

According to Ming Chi-Kuo, this coming year should see the first January Apple event in over a decade – and one with a big announcement to boot. Kuo also forecasts his expected release time frame for the highly-anticipated Apple Headset.

What have thus far been considered two very common aspects of a new iPhone release will soon belong to the past. For the first time, a new iPhone won't receive the most recent chip and the device's display size won't be determined by its max specs.

The first version of the M2 chip has already been revealed, and it should be followed by at least two variants within the coming months. A report now states that these variants will differ from the M2 in more than just core-count, with the M2 Pro being the queued for release.

Apple has let the cat out of the bag, or the chip from the laboratory – depending who you ask. The M2's key data is now known and Apple has undertaken countless improvements, giving us a good impression of how the other chips (Pro, Max, & Ultra)

The M1's followup has been revealed alongside the successor to the wedge-shaped MacBook Air. We've gathered together some data and specifications in order to compare the two models with one another.

At yesterday's Keynote, Apple did more than just present a completely new MacBook Air, it also revealed the first big change to its M-chips' architecture. The M1 is now followed by the M2 which brings along some conceptual changes as opposed to simply more cores. The MacBook Pro 13" will also receive an M2.

Apple has hardware updates ready for all of its platforms right now, although the initial beta will only be available for developers with a full release for all users within the next few months. Throughout the rest of this report, we'll briefly summarize what's to be expected for the iPad this fall.

macOS Monterey's successor this Fall will be macOS Ventura and the 13th version of the operating system with yet another name of geographic origin. During yesterday's WWDC Keynote, Apple demonstrated which features it has been working on since the last update.

It won't take much longer until Apple launches 2022's WWDC. Several topics have already been discussed at length by the rumor mill, with some already receiving confirmation from Apple. The rest of this report will summarize what's to be expected and what we'll be left waiting on after the event.

Safari began as a small project for the Mac at a time when Apple possessed only a modest share of the market. Meanwhile, the formerly humble web browser has become a product with more than 1 billion active users.

Barely any CEO earned more money than Tim Cook last year. More than anything else, the executive's shares in Apple accounted for the majority of his earnings and this new statistic. Last year's list of the ten top earning CEOs includes mostly executives from major tech companies.

In just one week, Apple's Keynote for the Worldwide Developers Conference will take place – and although the event hasn't traditionally included new hardware announcements, Cupertino could present us with a new MacBook Air M2. However, supply chain problems will likely delay the announcement.

About a year ago, Apple let a bomb go off – the larger HomePod was going to be discontinued with no replacement in sight. Since then, only the HomePod mini has been available for purchase directly, but current rumors point to a new HomePod in the works.

At one point, Android quickly swept up the market, however, fears that the iPhone could see the same fate as the Macs of many years prior did not become a reality. Instead, a completely different picture has been painted in The USA – with an almost unchallenged market leader.

WhatsApp has about 2 billion active users – reason enough for its mother company, Meta, to continue supplying it with regular updates. Now, several new features have been revealed in a recent beta.

Yet again, recent coronavirus developments have forced Apple to adapt and implement some new measures – this time 2, to react to the quickly rising numbers in the USA.
