New MacBooks, iPads and iOS 17.4 Soon

Apple's Highly Anticipated OS and HomePod Updates are Finally Here

We've been waiting for what feels like an eternity, but finally, Apple's TV OS and HomePod OS 17.4 RC have arrived. Not to mention, Mac OS 14.4 RC has also hit the streets, along with older Mac OS updates that will undoubtedly bring a fresh new wave of features and improvements to our beloved operating systems. It's worth noting that these updates were expected to drop today, but instead, we can expect them as soon as tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest.

In terms of rumors, leaks, and speculations, there's always something buzzing around Apple HQ. One of the most highly anticipated updates is iOS 18, which promises to bring a host of exciting changes. With big updates on generative AI expected to be introduced in this iteration, it's safe to say that this will be one for the books. According to Mark German, this update will be one of the largest ever made to iOS, so we can't wait to dive into its features and capabilities.

In other news, there's been no March Apple event planned as previously thought. Instead, it seems that Apple will continue releasing products throughout the week, possibly even pushing out new devices next week. We're expecting a 13-inch iPad Pro with a new MagSafe keyboard, an 11-inch version also sporting OLED displays, and potentially, a larger iPad Air model with a 12.9-inch screen. If rumors are to be believed, the iPad Air might be significantly more affordable than its Pro counterpart, priced around $1,500-$2,000.

As we wait for the next iPhone SE release, which is still planned but has yet to make an appearance, 91 Mobiles has revealed a CAD rendering of what it expects the new device to look like. The design, according to the source, will resemble that of the iPhone 14 but with some notable differences. For instance, the rounded design of the current Home button will be replaced by a more traditional layout, featuring one camera, USB-C, and Face ID.

Apple's foray into AI technology has been gaining momentum, and we're excited to see where it takes us next. In a recent interview, Tim Cook mentioned that Apple plans to break new ground with generative AI this year. While the specifics are still under wraps, sources suggest that iOS 18 will be the first iteration to incorporate these advancements, which might include new Siri options and potential redesigns of various features.

In terms of hardware, we can expect several significant updates in the coming weeks. The next-generation chips that Apple is planning to use in future products have been leaked by a reliable source on Twitter, X, who has a proven track record of accuracy. These upcoming chips will allegedly be used in iPads such as the mini and air, but it's worth noting that there won't be any major updates.

The wait for Apple Vision Pro continues, with some speculating that the next iteration might not launch until 2027. However, recent information from Ming-Chi Kuo suggests that the next version will be available in more countries prior to WWDC 2024. While we can't confirm this just yet, it's clear that Apple is working tirelessly behind the scenes to bring us something truly remarkable.

As with any major update, there's always a chance that things might not go as planned. However, one thing is for certain – Apple always delivers when it comes to innovative technology and sleek designs. With iOS 18, new iPads, and Apple Vision Pro on the horizon, we can't wait to dive in and explore all that these updates have to offer.

Apple's Future Plans: A Look Ahead

With new OS updates, hardware releases, and innovative technologies waiting in the wings, it's hard not to get excited about what's to come.

From iOS 18 to Apple Vision Pro, each of these updates promises something different but equally thrilling. Whether you're a die-hard Apple fan or just someone who appreciates great technology, there's no denying that this is an exciting time to be a part of the Apple ecosystem.

As we wait for each new update and release, it's essential to remember that rumors, leaks, and speculations are all part of the game. While they might not always pan out as expected, they do provide us with valuable insights into what's on the horizon.

we go to order now you'll see that we have the M2 variant still available and then the 13-in and 15in M3 you'll see if we scroll down we have all of the similar colors we've had before however the midnight color is said to be more fingerprint resistant than the previous version you can fully spec this out and if we select this version we'll see what the actual price is if we scroll down you'll see that you can start at about $12.99 and then if we fully spec it out with 24 gigs of memory or RAM and 2 tabt of storage you'll see it jumps up to about $22.99 so it's not a cheap device and you'll see it's available now if we want to add it $22.99 you can pick it up on Friday Apple also released a bunch of new accessories this week for the iPhone we have all new spring colors for pink we have a few different variants here as well so if we go down you'll see here we have soft mint we also have Sunshine we have light blue and then we have a pink Apple decided not to update the fine woven cases we'll talk about that in a moment also there's new watchbands so if we scroll over you'll see we have matching watch bands some of them are the sport Loop some of them are the sport band but they're all new colors that go along with those new spring colors and case colors that will all be available in iOS 17.4 and watchos 10.4 and as I mentioned there are no new fine woven cases and I think that's because they haven't been very well received some people love them I've never been a fan of the texture and apparently on Amazon they've even added a label stating it's frequently returned so they're just warning people that it seems they're returned a lot and maybe Apple will do something different as again this isn't my favorite texture to replace leather maybe they could do something else maybe elcanto or something like that now the EU is added again this week against Apple this time finding them $2 billion for anti-competitive Behavior towards Spotify Apple actually posted a document about this saying where the App Store Spotify and Europe's thriving digital music Market is to everyone's advantage and so they're countering this it's quite long I'll link this in the description but you can see more about Spotify paying Apple nothing and much more so if you want read all about this they've filed this apparently this week and asking Apple for $2 billion in violation of that Spotify epic games and others are also arguing to the EU that the new implementation for the thirdparty App Store in iOS 17.4 does not comply with the digital Market act saying they must actually update this because it doesn't comply with EU rules so we'll probably see more about this after it launches to the public Apple also published a paper this week going into the intricacies of complying with the digital Market act and what they've actually done to help with security and privacy so again another white paper that's quite lengthy you can read all about it here again I'll link it in the description if you want to check it out Apple also updated their Apple TV app this past week with new movies there's 50 new movies you can actually watch right now if you have TV plus everything from Zoolander to Saving Private Ryan to I Am Legend and more so all of those are available for a limited time and you can see those on TV plus under the The Limited Time movie section now I mentioned some of this before where Apple's savings account in apple wallet if you have that previously you had a limit of $250,000 now the limit has been increased to $1 million where you can earn 4.5% interest yearly so that's something they've updated if you have that much money to deposit there also apple is being challenged this week with a class action lawsuit for only offering 5 GB of free limited storage on iPhone for backup now this is a little odd as it's free storage and there are paid tiers as well and 5 GB isn't much and in iCloud you can bump this up to well over 2 terabytes if you pay monthly for it you don't have to use it but apple is offering 5 GB of free storage I wish they would bump that up but again it's free so it's hard to see how this lawsuit will play out but we'll have to wait and see also this past week there was some big news as far as the Apple car project project Titan Apple apparently has discontinued it according to Mark Gman at Bloomberg they've spent over $10 billion in research and development and I'm sure we'll see things such as AI trickle down from that into things such as iOS 18 and much more also there's news of an apple executive reaching retirement age Danny Rio who's the head of engineering so you'll see here this is when he started in 2021 as senior vice president of Hardware engineering apparently he's getting close to retiring so we may see him replaced very soon now today's video is sponsored by ankor the new Anker maggo powerbank can provide 1.8 charges to an iPhone 15 Pro with its 10,000 mamp

well that you can use and of course you could rotate the phone as well as it's heed using magsafe so it's fully compatible with magsafe also the anchor maggo wireless charging station is something I've been using recently especially on trips if we tilt this up you'll see we can place the iPhone on here and we can of course rotate it based on whatever we'd like we also have the option to charge an Apple Watch and your airpods at the same time on the back all of this just charging it once making it very convenient and it even has a little fan here to keep everything nice and cool it tilts

Apple this has been sort of continual that they've kept them on sale and it's a great price if you're looking to pick them up there's no rumors at least at this time of airpods Pro 3 coming maybe until later this year also the MacBook Air M2 is on sale M1 of course as well since they're getting rid of them as well as iPads and also apple is selling the M3 iMac refurbished now so all of those are available at a discount now today we were expecting iOS 17.4 to release to the public typically we see those on Monday but it looks like Apple's getting ready to deliver all of their different updates together as they released a bunch of release candidates today Vision OS 1.1 RC for Apple Vision Pro is out now if you're a developer as well as watch OS 10.4 RC is finally out we've been waiting for that TV OS and homepod Os 17.4 RC and then Mac OS 14.4 RC as well as older Mac OS updates also all of those are ready to launch probably Tuesday or Wednesday at this point so instead of releasing today we can expect them as soon as tomorrow or Wednesday then we'll have all of those new features and of course I'll cover all of the major updates with the changes and more now as far as rumors leaks and more this week while iOS 18 of course we're waiting for with big changes we're expecting some hug ug changes there and we'll see the first version of the first beta typically in June at WWDC usually in the first or second week where we'll actually have that event and then also we'll see beta one of all the different versions this time around during the annual shareholders meeting Tim Cook said that Apple will be breaking new ground on generative AI this year this is actually expected to be introduced in iOS 18 with new Siri options and more along with some things being redesigned whether it's the control center or other parts but many people have been saying according to Mark German that this is going to be one of the largest updates ever to iOS so we'll have to see if they're actually doing that also there is no March Apple event planned as previously thought it seems Apple will continue releasing products throughout the week maybe throughout next week as we're expecting more products we got the M3 Mac today along with the new cases and we're expecting new iPads next we could see those as soon as tomorrow or possibly pushed out a little ways so we expect a 13-in iPad Pro with a new mag safe keyboard and 11-in version but this time both are expected to use OLED displays potentially be a little bit thinner and have some updates maybe that we're not expecting we're also expecting a larger iPad Air maybe a 12.9 in model there as well so we'll have to wait and see what they do with those hopefully the iPad Air is much less expensive than the iPad Pro as it's said to be about $1,500 to $2,000 depending on the version now just like we're waiting for iPhone 16 models the next Apple watch is expected in September just like every year however this year there was talk that we would have Micro LED displays this seemed to have been cancelled last week as a supplier sort of was not going to make their standards and this week Digi times and ET news report that Apple's still working on bringing micro led to the watch but this time with different suppliers so we still could see that technology this year if it's ready if not we'll see it in following years I'm sure the next iPhone SE is still planned and 91 Mobile's revealed a cad rendering of what it's expected to look like next instead of having the rounded design like we currently do with the home button it's said to resemble more of what we have with the iPhone 14 however only with one camera USBC and face ID so we would get a 6.1 in OLED and that's about it not a huge update of course a modern chip as well and speaking of chips a recent leak revealed details of 16 upcoming chips apple is planning to use in future products this was shared by a reliable source on Twitter or X and they have a proven track record and are believed to be for the upcoming iPads such as the mini and air so not any major updates that we're seeing but we are seeing products that aren't released yet that we're expecting these chips in also Apple Vision Pro is new still and of course only available in the USA at this time however the next iteration is also being worked on but recent information from mingi quo seems to reveal that the next version won't be out until 2027 that seems quite a ways off and a long time for them to not push out new product but in the same post he also said to expect Apple Vision Pro to launch in more countries prior to WWDC 2024 so whether or not we see apple Vision Pro 2 within the next couple of years is hard to say of course it will probably depend on sales how far they've progressed with the software and much more so that's everything this week with all the things expected for updates this week iPads coming very soon maybe next week but either way expect all of those things very very soon and let me know if there's anything you're excited about are you just just waiting for iOS 18 new products maybe Apple Vision Pro 2 let me know in
