Apple Is Working to Make The Next Vision Pro More Comfortable

Apple released the first developer beta of its forthcoming iOS 17.2 update yesterday. The update packs many new features and changes the company announced at its WWDC 2023 event. Earlier this week, Apple also released the final version of iOS 17.1 with some notable updates. In the latest beta of iOS 17.2, it has been confirmed that Apple has a 'pad-like' device that can update a sealed iPhone in the box wirelessly to the latest software version.

It was reported recently that Apple could release new Macs by the end of this month. The company was previously expected to announce new Macs in the Sring time next year. If Apple plans to release new Macs on October 30, Mark Gurman suggests that Apple event invites will arrive later today. We are expecting Apple to announce the new M3 chip with improved performance alongside the MacBook Air and Pro models.

After some anticipation, a report has claimed that new Mac devices will be launched before the end of the year. The information comes from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who has revealed that Apple will likely host its Mac event between October 30 and October 31, bringing upgraded MacBook Pro models and a new iMac for consumers. The launch may witness several configurations of 24-inch iMac, alongside new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro. The event will be held just a week away but the fact that it is yet to be announced officially might make it one of the shortest announcement-to-launch event cycles for the tech giant.

The Apple Vision Pro launch is said to happen in early 2024, but it will not be easy for customers to acquire one as the device is said to be available through an appointment system only. Also, the company has been extremely mum on the product, which only means that the average person does not know what they will be getting for their hard-earned $3,499, and that may be why Apple has selected a few retail employees to undergo a secret training event prior to the release of the AR headset.

The Apple Silicon transition is not yet completed, as the iMac Pro featuring the company’s M-series SoCs is yet to launch. Whenever it arrives, new information states that it was always slated to be unveiled shortly, but Apple’s cost concerns pushed its launch into limbo.

A new iMac may arrive as early as this month.

Key iPhone assembler Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. said it will collaborate with Chinese authorities on unspecified probes, following a report that officials are conducting tax audits and reviewing land use by parent Foxconn Technology Group Co. 

When the iPhone 15 series was announced, some were a little disappointed with the price hike of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which now starts at $1199 (in India, it starts from a whopping Rs. 159900). At the time, some reports from the supply chain side claimed that the price hike was likely because the manufacturing cost for Apple had increased which contributed to the overall price hike. Now, a new report has surfaced that has broken down the individual component price for each iPhone 15 series model and found out just how much it costs Apple to manufacture them. It turns out, Apple did pay a significantly higher amount for smartphones this year compared to last year's iPhone 14 series.

This is the year of Cyberpunk 2077's about-face. Between the game's wide-ranging 2.0 update and its slick Phantom Liberty expansion pack, most onlookers now agree that the game is—if not the awe-inspiring masterwork it was hyped up to be prior to release—pretty good. But over at CD Projekt, the game's disastrous launch still looms large in devs' memories, and they're keen to avoid a repeat performance.

Apple enthusiasts have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of a revamped 24-inch iMac, and the latest buzz suggests it might finally make its debut. It will likely be powered by Apple's in-house M2 and M2 Pro chips. Recent reports from Japanese Apple blog MacOtakara have shed light on Apple's plans for this anticipated iMac release. While it's no secret that Apple has been on a roll with its M-series chips, the 24-inch iMac is expected to bring some much-needed upgrades to the table. These enhancements are rumoured to include Thunderbolt 4 ports, the latest Bluetooth 5.3 technology, and support for Wi-Fi 6E. Moreover, Apple enthusiasts can look forward to having the option of choosing between M2 and M2 Pro configurations, 9to5Mac reported.

We might not have to wait much longer for Apple’s new M3-based MacBook Pro.

The next generation of PC gaming controllers, the Scuf Envision andEnvision Pro, have arrived. In a market where everyone thinks they can release a customizable controller and state they did something special, Scuf is trying to back its claims up in a big way, stating that the Envision will offer an “unparalleled level of control”.
