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

According to Ming-Chi Kuo, Apples upcoming mixed reality headset will profit from special, folded lenses. However, a release isn't expected until 2023. Facebook's parent company, Meta, has head to give up developing its own OS – according to a new report.

Apple released the third generation of AirPods right in time for the Christmas season – and the headphones appear to have hit their mark amongst customers. Apple observed a considerable increase in sales numbers in comparison to previous years holiday seasons.

The AirPods are a pretty big hit at Apple, to some of the company's own surprise – the product is still selling extremely well. The head of Apple's audio department recently revealed some details about the AirPods 3's development and the limitations of Bluetooth.

Ever since its first generation, the Apple Watch's digital crown has allowed users to scroll through and close current apps. The series four's digital crown also holds the smart watch's EKG sensor. In a new patent, Apple reveals another alternative.

Although many users are quite fond of their OLED displays, the "organic light emitting" displays aren't entirely devoid of faults. LG has recently taken it upon itself to combat some of these with the improved brightness and image quality of its new OLED EX technology.

An interesting benchmark comparison test was recently run under the microscope comparing the MacBook Pro M1 Max with a fully decked out Mac Pro with an afterburner card. Both computers were tasked with tasked with editing a video in the new ProRes format. The results are spectacular, with the M1 Max destroying the Mac Pro.

In the last twelve months, reports have popped up multiple times stating that Apple wants to add another external display to its lineup. Now the word is that LG has been tasked with the product's development and at least one of the three variants will possess an Apple chip.

Apple has been shipping the second-generation Magic Mouse for more than six years. Despite criticism about the positioning of the charging port, the mouse is included in the current Mac generations almost unchanged. Now there are first rumors about a revision.

AirTags are usually handy little helpers, but not just for people with good intentions: A Canadian police agency points to car thefts involving Apple's tags. In some cases, the vehicle owners are tracked without their knowledge.

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.
