Rumors: Apple Delaying iMac 30" & 32" Release Until Next Year

Over the last few years, Jon Prosser has enriched the Apple rumor world with countless, often extremely precise leaks. No matter his sources, the information tends to be accurate. Now the infamous iPhone leaker has announced a new iPhone leak – and it's no other than the iPhone 14. Now, he claims to have seen new prototypes of the iPhone 14 and to have made renderings based on the prototypes.

Exactly 5 years ago, it wasn't exactly foreseeable how important the event was, although Apple spoke of a "wireless future". The result was a new market – created by Apple, which would quickly become bigger than 2/3rds of all Fortune 500 companies.

For quite some time now, Apple has been busy developing a VR headset. According to a recent report, the chip design for such a device has been completed. However, the computerized headset won't work autonomously but only with an iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

Inspired by Apple, Google may be adding itself to the expanding list of companies interested in developing in-house processors instead of relying on standard solutions from companies such as AMD or Intel. Google was very impressed by Apple's recent achievements in the field, according to a recent report.

The vast majority of Android users isn't interested in switching to iPhone. This year, however, the number of users staying faithful to Android is higher than normal. Discussions about local iCloud photo scanning contributed to the weaker numbers but weren't the sole cause.

The well-known leaker, Jon Prosser, reports that Apple has planned an important step for Face ID. An additional sensor, possibly even arriving in the iPhone 13, could allow the technology to accurately recognize faces wearing masks.

iPhone users are already familiar with high prices. However, the next generation could witness yet again another increase in price – thanks to the current situation on the chip market driving up prices.

Apple announced a new version of the Mac Pro, now immediately available. However, there are fewer improvements than expected and no new Intel processor.

Although it took a few extra years than we all expected, Apple has finally released a version of the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID – available in two configurations, with or without a numpad. As is customary for Apple products, it comes at a hefty price – and it's not compatible with Intel Macs.

Apple is now using the MagSafe connection for the iPhone 12 to display the current generation of iPhones in stores. There are several advantages for customers.

Marc Gurman from Bloomberg has just sketched out the next year and a half for the Mac. The premium iMac's tier successor and Mac Pro's M-chip successors are still a ways off. Apple may barely manage to accomplish the 2-year switch to ARM on time.

It's still unclear how often the error occurs, however, many users are complaining that their new M1 MacBooks' displays are extremely sensitive and that the glass cracks quite easily. Repairs are expensive and not currently covered by a guarantee.

Intel wants to be back on top in at least 5 years and just recently announced a roadmap. However, there have been recent innovations made by Intel competitor TSMC – making Intel's road to "King of the Hill" appear far more difficult.

A diverse set of internal problems have led to Intel losing touch with what made the company best-in-class. Now, the chip giant has announced a new plan – illustrating a set of steps meant to restore the company's former glory. In addition to the announcement of commissioned work for other companies, Intel has released a road map for next year.

At the moment, Apple devices have a mixture of Touch ID and Face ID. The budget models in the lineup come with Touch ID, whereas the more expensive ones are equipped with Face ID. According to Bloomberg, Apple wants to bring Face ID to all Apple devices, however, there are some big challenges that stand in the way.

When Apple updates a support document that hasn't been updated for years, it means something – especially when that document involves MagSafe, rumored to make a comeback in the next macOS. This almost guarantees that the rumors are true.

So, how does Apple's newest accessory perform in terms of everyday use? Now that sales for the MagSafe Battery Pack have started, there are several reports. There's not an outrageous amount of enthusiasm – in case anyone was expecting such for a battery.

Apple's new external battery accessory came as quite the surprise yesterday. Meanwhile, new details concerning the product's functionality have popped up, of particular interest are reverse charging and hardware protective charging processes.

Thus far, Apple has been... a little stingy when it comes to the quality of its notebooks' webcams. With the recent increased importance of video conferences due to the pandemic, the difference in parity has become more evident. According to a leaker on Twitter, new webcams can be expected soon, and according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman – the 27" iMac is back in the works after the project was shelved for a time.

Ming-Chi Kuo recently mentioned the upcoming MacBook Pro in two messages to investors. All signs still point to a start of production occurring soon. Apple would also like to use Mini LED displays for the 11" iPad Pro – even if not this year.

Apple discontinued the Time Capsule series in 2018, but many Apple customers continue to use the product. Now, a data recovery company is warning of a design flaw with the product that can lead to hard drive failure and data loss.
