Apple delayed the reopening of its office for the return of mandatory in person working which was supposed to begin in September. The reopening was delayed by a month last week because of the sudden surge in COVID-19 cases caused by the Delta Variant. Now a new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says that Apple will cancel its plans to hold an in person event this year and will instead hold a virtual one for the announcement of the iPhone 13. The last in person event from Apple was back in September 2019 with the launch of the iPhone 11. If this ends up being true, it will be Apple’s second virtual September event. The iPhone 13 will still launch in September this year compared to the iPhone 12 which was delayed to October because of the pandemic.

According to Mark Gurman, Apple will bring Face ID to the Mac in a couple of years. Gurman claims that Apple plans to bring Face ID to most of their products including the Mac, iPhone SE, and the iPad Air which all have Touch ID since it’s cheaper. Gurman also previously claimed that Apple was originally going to put Face ID on this year’s iMac but delayed it since the chassis was thinner and wanted to launch it on another redesigned iMac. Gurman thinks that Apple will start building Face ID into the iPhone displays themselves so there won’t be any notch required for the sensor. Ming Chi Kuo claimed that a notch less iPhone will debut in 2023. Apple still continues to work on the new 27” iMac which hasn’t been unveiled yet. The new 27” redesigned iMac will be more powerful than the new 24” which was unveiled in April.

A new report from 9TO5Mac claims that Apple is working on a new external display with the Apple A13 chip and the Neural Engine. The new display could possibly be a replacement for the Pro Display XDR. Apple is also working on an affordable version of the display which will have no chip inside. It’s unclear when we will see a new version of the display and if we’re going to see any updated specs in the future.

A new leak from China claims that the iPhone 13 will be able to support up to 25W of faster charging. Currently the iPhone 12 is only capable of supporting 20W of fast charging even with a faster charging power adapter. The leak claims that Apple will also introduce a new 25W power adapter which will be the same as the current 20W, but will allow for faster charging speeds. There won’t be a significant change to the charging speeds, but 25W is still better than 20W.

According to Diji Times, Apple is planning on launching the new iPhone SE 3 sometime in the first half of 2022. The new iPhone SE 3 will have the new A14 chip and will also half support for 5G. Rumors also suggest that the iPhone SE 3 will use the body of the iPhone 11 with a few improvements. There won’t be that many features since this isn’t Apple‘s flagship model and is much cheaper than the other models. All rumors are pointing at a release for the first half of 2022.

A new report from Nikkei Asia claims that Apple is preparing for the production of the new iPhone 13 models, AirPods 3, and next generation MacBook Pro which will start in August. The report claims that Apple has a busy Fall ahead of them since they’re planning to unveil these products in the Fall. Previous rumors about the next generation MacBook Pro also claimed that Apple was planning a fall release. iPhones normally always get unveiled in September, but last year they got unveiled in October because of the pandemic. The last time we AirPods got unveiled at an event was back in 2016 alongside the iPhone 7. So it will be interesting to see how Apple decides to unveil the AirPods 3. The next Apple event is rumored to be in September and most leakers have claimed that it might happen on the third week of September.

Apple was rumored to be working on a in screen Touch ID feature for this year’s iPhone but it seems unlikely that we will get it on the iPhone 13. Gurman said that Face ID will most likely be the only biometric sensor available on this year’s iPhone. The notch on the iPhone 13 will get smaller. Previous pictures showed the iPhone 13 display with a smaller notch. Gurman claims that the notch will get even smaller on next years models. There will be major improvements coming to the camera module on the iPhone 13. According to Mark Gurman, the iPhone 13 will have better optical zoom features which will bring more features to improve video recording. We know that the iPhone 13 will get a better camera because of the significant size difference which was shown in many alleged photos of the device. As we get closer to the iPhone 13 launch date it seems like the most exciting features we were waiting for won’t happen this year.

According to Gurman’s report there is no reason for Apple to bring Touch ID to the Apple Watch and it will most likely never happen. This report comes right after The Verifier claimed that Apple was going to ship the Apple Watch Series 7 with Touch ID.

Apple launched new colors for the AirTag leather loops and key rings. The new AirTag leather loop and key rings now comes in California Poppy, and Forest Green. Previously these were only available in Baltic Blue, Saddle Brown, and Product Red. Apple also launched a regular AirTag loop which comes in Electric Orange, Deep Navy, White, and Sunflower for $29. The AirTag keyring is available for $35 and the AirTag leather loop is available for $39.

Today Apple launched a new MagSafe battery pack for just $99. This will work with the new iPhone 12 models which launched last year in September. The new battery pack is just one of the accessories you can find for MagSafe. The battery pack is available in white and has a silicon coating. The product has an 11.13Wh battery which will partially charge the iPhone. The MagSafe battery pack will be able to charge an iPhone at 5W, but is capable of charging at 15W when plugged in. The MagSafe battery pack can be charged by plugging it into an outlet using a lightning to USB-C cable and a 20W power adapter for fast charging or by being connected to your iPhone while the iPhone is plugged in and charging. The MagSafe battery pack will be available on July 19.

Mark Gurman’s new report claims that Apple’s new larger redesigned iMac will have a more powerful processor. The 27-inch iMac which has yet to be updated will feature the new M1X or M2X chip. This will be much more powerful than the M1 which had impressive benchmarks even though it was Apple’s first silicon for the Mac. Apple Silicon chips are more powerful than Intel and AMD chips. So there’s no doubt that the new iMac will have a better performance. We don’t known when the new iMac will be released but it should launch sometime next year since Apple still has to update the 27-inch model.

According to a new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is planning to announce a new a new redesigned iPad mini this fall. The new iPad mini will be another iPad to recieve the flat edged all display design change which was first introduced with the iPad Pro. The design will be more similar to the iPad Air which was released last year. The new iPad mini will have the next generation processor which will make it more powerful. Other than the design changes we don’t know what features the new iPad mini might get. The iPad mini has been updated in a while, so it is exciting to finally see new features and changes coming soon.
