With the calendar set to change to March, there are two Apple affairs to look forward to: a rumored spring event and WWDC in June. As always, all eyes will be on Apple’s software updates and Tim Cook has dropped a big hint about what we can expect to learn about during the WWDC keynote.

During Apple’s annual shareholder meeting this week, Tim Cook made the unusual pronouncement that Apple will “break new ground” in generative AI this year, presumably as part of iOS 18. Читать дальше...

We’re now starting to get pretty regular updates on the iPhone 16 coming later this year, but every now and then the rumorsphere spits out something relating to a later generation. Such as this week’s news that Apple plans to upgrade screen tech across the entire iPhone 17 range next year.

Our Verdict

The iPhone 15 isn’t an exciting product, thanks to its old-fashioned design and similarity to last generation’s iPhone 14. But it is a very solid smartphone with a strong feature set at (by Apple’s standards) an affordable price.

If there’s one head-scratching decision Apple made in 2023, it’s not updating the AirPods Max. Not only has its high-end headphones not received a refresh since their debut in 2020, they are also one of the few remaining Apple devices to still sport a Lightning port. With no immediate rumors of an update anytime soon, engineer Ken Pillonel has taken it upon himself to do it himself.

Pillonel, who previously added USB-C to the iPhone before Apple, posted a video of... Читать дальше...
