A new report from DigiTimes claims that Apple is planning to hold multiple events in September to launch all their new products. Apple is expected to launch the new iPhone 13 models, Apple Watch Series 7, AirPods 3, iPad mini 6, iPad 9, and M1X MacBook Pro this Fall, but holding two events in one month seems very unlikely. Even tough the events are virtual, Apple will most likely hold them one month after another. Last year Apple had three events in the Fall in September, October, and November to launch a bunch of new products. It’s unlikely we’ll see three events this Fall, but Mark Gurman claimed Apple was going to hold multiple events this Fall.

A new image shared by Techordo shows alleged images of the upcoming iPad mini 6 molds. These molds help case manufactures make cases for upcoming Apple products before they’re announced. Previously, Apple leaker, Jon Prosser shared renders of the upcoming iPad mini 6 which are very similar to the molds shown here. The molds confirm the new design with smaller bezels and no home button. The design is very similar to the new iPad Air 4. Like the iPad Air 4 the iPad mini 6 has smaller bezels and a single lens camera. It also has Touch ID on the power button and no Face ID. The power button and volume buttons are both placed on the top of the device. This is most likely because of the Apple Pencil. The smaller chassis on the iPad mini 6 won’t give enough room on the side to charge the Apple Pencil so Apple had to move the volume button to the top. The iPad mini 6 is expected to launch sometime this Fall. Previously Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman claimed that Apple is preparing for multiple events this Fall. The September event is normally reserved for the iPhones and Apple Watch, so it’s possible for Apple to launch the iPad mini 6 in October or November.

A new CAD render of the Apple Watch Series 7 shared by 91mobiles confirms the new design rumors. The image shows flat edges for the Apple Watch similar to the new iPad and iPhone design. The image doesn’t show any other design changes except the flat edges. The power button and Digital Crown appear to be the same. There are also two new speakers which are parallel to each other. The speakers on the Series 6 were only placed side by side and didn’t extend all the way. The dimensions that were shared show the same sizes. The Apple Watch Series 7 will be available in the same 40mm and 44mm sizes. This means users with previous Apple Watch bands can use them on the new Series 7. The flat edges also allows the screen to be larger and have a bigger surface area which wasn’t possible with previous models. Rumors from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman claimed Apple will shrink the bezels on the Apple Watch Series 7. The Apple Watch Series 7 will launch in September at the Apple September event alongside the new iPhone 13 models.

In a new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, he says, Apple is planning to hold multiple events this Fall like last year to launch the iPhone 13, Apple Watch Series 7, M1X MacBook Pro, AirPods 3, iPad 9, and the iPad mini 6. It’s not clear yet if we will have three events back to back in the Fall like last year but it is very likely that we could see two events this Fall. Apple will still reserve the September event to launch their flagship iPhones. Gurman says Apple will most likely launch the iPhone 13 models, the new redesigned Apple Watch Series 7, and the new redesigned AirPods 3 at the September event and launch the rest at a different event. Last year due to the pandemic Apple wasn’t able to launch the iPhone at their September event. They instead launched it at an October event. We instead saw the new iPad Air 4, iPad 8, Apple Watch Series 6, and Apple Watch SE launch at that event. The M1X MacBook Pros which are expected to have a major design change and have multiple new features will launch at later date. It’s not clear yet which other event in the Fall we will see the new MacBook Pro in, but all leaks and rumors are pointing towards a Fall unveiling. We are just one month away from the next Apple event. It hasn’t yet been confirmed which date the event will be on, but previous rumors suggest the 14th since Apple usually holds their event on the second Tuesday of September.

A new law presented by the EU might require Apple to bring USB-C ports on the iPhone and get rid of the lightning port. The European Union wants a common charging port to be present on all smartphones sold in all of it’s member countries. This new law will significantly affect Apple since they’re the only big smartphone manufacturer which hasn’t adapted USB-C on their phones. Apple fired back by saying the new law will create a lot of waste since consumers would have to switch from lightning to USB-C cables. The European Union will present the new law next week. If the law gets voted on, Apple might be forced to ship iPhones in the EU with a USB-C port.

Image: EverythingApplePro A new report from TrendForce which is a Taiwanese firm mentioned a few known details about the iPhone 13 lineup. This report comes one month before the iPhone 13 which will launch in September. TrendForce claims that Apple will bring larger batteries to the iPhone 13. Last year Apple had to make the batteries smaller on the iPhone 12. But Apple has developed a way to save space to make room for the larger battery. TrendForce also mentioned that mmWave 5G will be available in other countries this year which was already known. Previously with the iPhone 12 Apple only made mmWave 5G available in the US. The new iPhone 13 models will also have the new 5nm A15 chip which will be more powerful than the A14. TrendForce claimed that the A15 will allow the iPhone 13 to have better performance with lower power consumption. For the pricing of the upcoming iPhone 13 models, Apple will have the same prices as the iPhone 12 models. There won’t be any price increases. We are very close to the iPhone 13 launch date. As we get closer more leaks will start to appear so we get a better of understanding of what the iPhone 13 lineup will be like.

Image: RendersbyIan Ming Chi Kuo dropped a new report on the next generation MacBook Air. The report mentions the same details he reported on back in July. Kuo’s new report mentioned that Apple is planning to launch the MacBook Air in multiple colors. He also stated that the new MacBook Air will be very similar to the upcoming MacBook Pro which is supposed to launch this Fall. Kuo followed up his report by saying the new MacBook Air will launch in mid-2022. Kuo also said that BOE will be manufacturing the mini-LED displays for the next generation MacBook Air. The new MacBook Air will have a new design. It will have boxy edges all around like the iPad Pro and will be very thin. The new MacBook Air will also have an updated Apple Silicon chip. Kuo claims that Apple will no longer sell the M1 MacBook Air after they launch the new one. The new MacBook Air will have many new features and it will be a major upgrade to the MacBook Air in a while. The last time we got a major update for the MacBook Air was back in Fall 2018.

Today Apple announced that it will start scanning users iCloud photos for any CSAM or child abuse images. They will also have new child safety features which will protect your child from viewing inappropriate content. There are new parental controls in the Messages app. If a child or user receives a child abuse image which is inappropriate, the device will let the user know and give them instructions on what to do. Parents will receive notifications about the incident and will be able to see if their child viewed it or not. This new feature will help kids stay safe and make sure that they won’t be able to view any inappropriate content. Apple will also start scanning devices with iCloud photos in the US. The new feature will scan iCloud photos for any existing images of Child Sexual Abuse Material or CSAM. If the software detects any CSAM content which matches to a CSAM database, an employee at Apple will manually review the image. If the manual review identifies CSAM content, Apple will disable the user’s account and report it to law enforcement. Apple claims that there is one in a trillion chance that the system will falsely detect something. They will also allow people to appeal for these cases if the user believes it’s false. This is very important since CSAM is a problem and Apple is helping the world by eliminating CSAM content. Apple is also updating their Siri and Search Guidance. If users accidentally view images of CSAM or other inappropriate content, Siri and Search guidance will let the user know how they can report it and help them stay safe on the internet. If users search for CSAM content, Siri and Search Guidance will let users know that the content their searching for can cause problems and be harmful to them. They will also provide links and other info to encourage users not to view the content. These new features and updates will be released by Apple by the end of this year. They will help children and users stay safe on the internet and will also help with eliminating inappropriate content.

Today Apple’s online store unexpectedly went down for maintenance. The site was later updated with a new “Store” tab which gave an overview of every product that Apple sells. There are tabs for every product which gives you details on them and how to save money and finance for them. This new section is very helpful for those who don’t know that much about tech. The new tab explains everything about a product in simple words for everyone to know what’s going on. Apple.com hasn’t had a major update in a while so it’s nice to see this after a couple of years.

Apple is now selling their new accessories for the new iMac models separately. Before you would have to purchase a new iMac model to get access to the new keyboard. The new Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse, and Magic Trackpad we’re debut alongside the new M1 iMac back in April with a few updates. The major update was the integration of Touch ID into the keyboard. You can still buy a new Magic Keyboard without Touch ID for a cheaper price if you wanted to. The new Magic Keyboard with Touch ID only works with the new M1 iMac models. Intel based iMacs won’t be able to work with the new keyboard.

New regulatory filings from the Eurasian Economic Commission or EEC lists new Apple Watch and Mac models that were recently filed by Apple. This hints that these products are possibly around the corner and will launch as rumored. The EEC filing showed two new Mac models and six new Apple Watch models. The new models for the Apple Watch are A2473, A2474, A2475, A2476, A2477 and A2478. These are most likely the new Apple Watch Series 7 models which normally debut around this time of the year. For the Macs the new models are A2442 and A2485. These are most likely the rumored 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models which are expected to debut this Fall. The Apple Watch Series 7 will have a new design with boxy edges similar to the iPhone 12 and will have new features. The MacBook Pro will also have a new design with smaller bezels, a mini-LED screen, removal of the touch bar and a new fingerprint sensor for Touch ID. These products will most likely launch at Apple’s September event which normally takes place on the 2nd Tuesday of the month.

A new report from JP Morgan claims that Apple is planning to add a new titanium chassis on the iPhone 14 Pro models. Currently the Pro model iPhones all have a stainless steel chassis. The basic models all have an aluminum chassis. Titanium is only available on the Apple Watch and the Apple Card. It is possible for Apple to add a titanium chassis to the Pro models to give them a premium look, but this report is coming from JP Morgan which isn’t known for Apple leaks. Perhaps Apple will be adding a titanium chassis on the Pro models to increase sales of the product. Most customers weren’t able to find a difference between the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro, so Apple is most likely trying to make the Pro models more appealing to get better sales.
