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

Apple's "new S8 chip" is present in both of the most recently presented versions of the Apple Watch – however, a closer look at the chip reveals that it's certainly not "new". Architecturally, it's already got a few years under its belt.

Anyone who subscribes to Apple One receives access to all digital services offered by Apple. This year, however, there should be a new option from Apple's subscription service – hardware to be specific. The offer would ship new models of Apple products to customers every generation.

The AirPods are a billion-dollar business for Apple – and come with a comfortable update every few years. During September 7th's Apple event, we discovered that the AirPods will receive a new generation.

Although we yet to fully appreciate the upcoming event, all of the relevant sources are in agreement that the "Apple Reality Pro" should arrive this spring. Mark Gurman has even mentioned the development of three generations, including affordable standard hardware variants for normal users.

Lots of hardware is planned for the event on Wednesday – at least three product lines should receive announcements. In one of his latest newsletters, Mark Gurman, provides about the new AirPods Pro 2 and the expected price of the Apple Watch Pro.

There are only a few days left until we get to see the next iPhone generation. Several things are set to change and according to multiple reports, the notch may no longer be a feature come the next iPhone. Unfortunately, however, a recent report reveals several software limitations, stamping any hope for more display space.

Apple just updated a version of iOS released 4 years ago – for both iPhone and iPad. There are several essential security improvements, which is why we advise users still running iOS 12 to install the updates ASAP.

The iPhone 14 is likely to get even more expensive, particularly in countries where the euro has lost value in comparison to the dollar. However, market analysts remain positive – and expect record sales numbers for the most expensive model.

When an M1 Mac starts failing and a backup isn't already present, the situation becomes complicated. The SSD can't simply be swapped into another device. Even the correct desoldering technique woulnd't allow for decryption of the data. Now, DriveSavers offers a solution capable of saving completely defective boards.

Anyone who has bought a Mac in recent years certainly hasn't received an optical drive with their device. The DVD has long since lost most of its relevance – and the significantly older CD too. 40 years have passed since the introduction of the first CDs. We'll take a brief look at the storage relict's history.

According to multiple reports, the next version of the basic iPad should differ considerably from past models. One more report even mentions fundamental design changes, which could be realized current in just a few weeks.

Solid state drives have become the industry standard in more than just Macs and iDevices – and for a very good reason: They're much faster and more energy efficient than standard hard drives, although they come with one major downside – flash-memory is much more damaging to the enviornment, according to scientists.

Like its predecessor, the MacBook Air M2 doesn't come with an active cooling system. For this reason, the chip can't run at full capacity without interruption – for its own safety, performance has to be throttled. But what would happen if your device possessed a larger thermal pad? A new test video reveals the answer.

The first iPhone arrived on the market 15 years ago and was released in the US in June 2007. Although Apple was not the first to invent the product category, it did help to pioneer touch operated devices and was the first to recreate the category and launch a widely successful product.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

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.
