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

Those hoping to get their hands on the new HomePod will need to be patient: Wait time are currently multiple weeks in many countries, and up to 4 weeks or more in the United States. In some European countries, devices won't arrive until March.

Qualcomm has announced the new Snapdragon series – the name of it's own in-house ARM processors for Smartphones. The release promises groundbreaking performance data – but how do things look in comparison to Apple's A16 or A15?

Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Meta – all share one thing in common, apart from all being tech companies, they also all achieved rather poor quarterly results – or at the very least, a rather weak outlook.

macOS 13 Ventura experienced its release to the public at the beginning of this week, with the quickest to the draw getting a chance to download the new operating system more or less immediately. Of course, the update is still available to download for those who didn't do so on Monday.

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.

"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.

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.

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.

Apple is already working on iOS 16.1 – and the first beta takes on several features which the company revealed in June. Some features, however, are entirely new. Additionally, the battery percent display on the home screen will arrive for all models.

Shortly after the release of iOS 16, the first bug reports are making the rounds. In some cases, an endless loop occurs during attempts to boot devices after updating – particularly on the iPhone 13, which then proceeds not to start. One solution: the Recovery Mode.

Not everyone is necessarily thrilled about the fact that Apple will begin delivery of the new MacBook Air M2 in a few days. According to information from industry insider sources, one report claims that the Wintel market (Windows/Intel) sees the notebook as a threat to its own sales figures.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When Apple's in-house processors enter the discussion, the conversation normally focuses on their efficiency and performance. Feral, a company known for porting games to the Mac for the last 2 decades also points to some other implications for the company's new chip-hardware.

The data reveals that the most common passwords range from "123456" to "qwerty". For the vast majority of non-tech savvy people, password protection is completely unheard of. Apple, Google, and Microsoft are now all hoping to take a step away from using passwords as a security measure.

Those who would like to work on multiple apps at the same time on the iPad will soon have the opportunity to do so. In the future, it will be possible to rescale iPad apps when a keyboard and mouse are connected.

The current most powerful M1 Mac is now the Mac Studio – as multiple sources already predicted before the desktop computer's release yesterday. Despite the device's compact design, it still easily satisfies the high-end performance margins.

There's a big problem surrounding the AirTags. Stalking. Unfortunately, Apple's new "smart tracker" is very convenient for more than just finding your lost coffee cup – it can also easily be used for more nefarious purposes such as victim tracking. Apple hopes to put a stop to this and has announced multiple new measures.
