3:03 Stealth Black AirPods & iPhone SE could be back on the table for April
4:56Thicker iPhones with slimmer notches for iPhone 13
8:30 And, my Mac mini M1 is here, so I’ll share my first impressions.
Could Apple be partnering with Hyundai for Apple Car
Report from Korea IT News
Possibly producing vehicles at a Kia Motors factory in Georgia
Up to 400,000 vehicles annually
Beta version in 2022 – Existing shell?
Made in the USA
Self Driving, Electric – Apple Innovations?
AirPods Pro 2 report from MacOtakara
Reported as AirPods Pro 2 but could be AirPods Gen 3 with pro style design
Smaller case design which could suggest these are without the ear tips
First version in “not white” – Black almost certainly an option.
President from AirPods Max
iPhone SE3 – The most on again off again rumour in Apple
Larger 5.5” display like iPhone Plus
Or, all screen 6.1” display with TouchID Sleep Wake button like the iPad Air 4
iPhone 13 design leaks
Reports indicate the same 4 SKU options, mini, basic, pro and pro max
Screen sizes remain, but with the highly anticipated shrunken notch, which would be accomplished by moving the speaker up into the display bezel.
FaceID equipment fills the gap, with infrared camera, flood illuminator, proximity sensor, front camera, ambient light sensor and a dot projector.
This is why iPhone won’t get a hole punch camera any time soon!
More space either side for enhanced notification space, battery percentage returns etc
Potentially flush camera bump – not to the body but a single piece covering all the camera lenses. This could allow more lenses on the rear with depth freed up.
iPhone 13 could also be thicker by just over a ¼ mm, but not clear why.
M1 Mac mini – Early thoughts and small challenges
I got the base, 8 Core CPU, 8 core GPU, 256gb storage 8gb ram model
First, it is of course blazing fast
Not heard the fans at all, even in Blender tests
Blender BMW CPU 5:35, silent.
Kerbal Space Program – runs excellent
General computing and setup – super fast and simple.
Moving to a normal monitor from iMac Sucks.
4k TV on the way soon
Value vs other M1s
Power efficiency less important in desktops
You actually lose out on keyboard (£99), Trackpad (129), display (at least £150), FaceTime camera (£40?), mics (40), reasonable speakers (40) (500 all in)battery life, portability. You do gain extra ports and better cooling however. .
