The MacBook Pro 2021 – Impressive Performance & Innovation

The M1, M1 Pro, and M1 Max – despite being exceptionally powerful chips, are intended for notebooks. Cupertino is known to be working on in-house chips for desktops and workstations to replace Intel variants and a leaker familiar with the subject is convinced that Apple is also developing server processors.

Apple's new repair program has by and large been met with praise, although the abrupt about-face was somewhat unexpected. One possible explanation for the notoriously stubborn company's change of heart could be a share holder resolution in September. Historically, shareholders have shown Cupertino little understanding concerning the "Right to Repair" matter.

Apple has launched a new program for the more tech-savvy of its customers. Soon, these customers will be able to repair Apple their iPhones or Macs on their own and receive access to original parts and special tools from Apple without any need for any certification. Unfortunately, however, older iPhones and Macs with Intel chips aren't covered by the program.

The AirPods 3 have been available for purchase for almost a week now. The first test reports are in – and they focus primarily on the improved audio quality and comfort of the new earphones. The overall verdict is favourable.

Anyone who needs even more power than what Apple's newest processors already offer will be excited to learn about macOS' upcoming "High Power Mode". However, information has recently leaked, revealing that there will be hardware requirements for the new feature – and only the top configurations will be supported.

The end to the long wait finally arrived during Apple's "Unleashed" event when Cupertino revealed the AirPods 3. Along with offering an entire new row of features and lasting longer, the latest AirPods differ considerably in terms of appearance. As well as showing off the new AirPods, Apple also presented the "Apple Music Voice Plan".

Now, even more hardware details concerning the new MacBook Pro have become known... and Apple's decision upon solely HDMI 2.0 has led to some disappointment. In contrast, the improvement of the entire Pro notebook's audio system comes well met.

Apple just presented the long-awaited, brand new MacBook Pro, which has received a great deal of innovation. The exterior and interior have undergone considerable change in the product's most major redesign in recent years. The device's performance is also spectacular – exceeding even the prognoses.

In a recent interview, Intel's newest CEO (and newly anointed Apple critic) recently admitted that Apple's done an excellent job with its latest M1 chip. However, Intel's marketing department has viewed the chip in a less favourable light over the past months. A new Twitter thread from the company's "Go PC" marketing campaign subtly takes aim at Apple all over again.

Apple is currently distributing an important firmware update for AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, and various Beats models. Cupertino thus delivers what was already promised at WWDC: Lost headphones can now be found much easier.

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.
