Apple Watch 7: Sales start of the smartwatch now officially

Image
When the Apple Watch 7 was announced in September, the iPhone manufacturer could not or did not want to confirm a specific date for the start of sales. But now the manufacturer is finally breaking its silence. Update from October 4, 2021: The assumptions were spot on. As Apple has just announced, the manufacturer will be accepting the first orders for the Apple Watch 7 in the Apple Online Store from Friday, October 8th (2 p.m.) (source: Apple). The smartwatch will be delivered a week later on October 15th, and then we'll also find it in stores. European prices have now also been communicated. In this country, the Apple Watch 7 costs from 429 euros and thus exactly as much as its predecessor. Original article: Actually one would have expected that Apple would be more specific for the new Smartwatch on the day of the launch. But nothing came of it, even today it is said succinctly about the availability of the Apple Watch 7: "All Apple Watch Series 7 models will be availabl...

iPad Air 2022: Apple s dream has burst

Image
Apple's plans foresaw a model of the iPad Air with an OLED screen in 2022. But nothing will come of it. The joint project by Apple and Samsung has been stopped, there will not be such an iPad for the time being. The change of plan has now also been confirmed by Ming-Chi Kuo, probably the best-known Apple expert. Update from October 4, 2021: The previous report by "The Elec" seems to be true. Because now , with Ming-Chi Kuo, one of the best-known and most renowned Apple insiders has confirmed the decision . Accordingly, Apple has given up plans to release an updated iPad Air with an OLED screen in the next year due to quality and cost issues - the dream has burst (source: MacRumors). Until further notice, the established LCD technology for the iPad Air will remain. Original article: A few months ago, industry insiders reported on Apple's plans for the iPad Air. As a result , a model with an OLED screen should appear next year. Samsung was chosen as the manufactu...

Stingy Apple? iPhone 13 Pro proves otherwise

Image
At least 1,149 euros have to be spent in this country for the iPhone 13 Pro. A proud sum, which has not been increased compared to its direct predecessor. This is surprising because the Pro iPhone costs more to produce than before. iPhone 13 Pro: higher production costs for Apple The features of the iPhone 13 Pro are impressive: It includes the new A15 chip, a ProMotion display and, fortunately, a stronger battery. This is also noticeable in the manufacturing costs. According to a new study, the production of the Pro iPhone costs $ 20 more than the iPhone 12 Pro (source: TechInsights). Despite the higher manufacturing prices, Apple did not, as initially feared, pass the increase on to its customers. The iPhone 13 Pro is initially equipped with a recommended price of 1,149 euros, just like its predecessor. According to a recently published analysis, Apple has to put the equivalent of around 490 euros on the table for each copy of the iPhone 13 Pro. For the iPhone 12 Pro it was aro...

iPhone 13: If you have an older Apple cell phone, you should see these pictures

Image
Anyone who already owns an iPhone 12 must and probably will not necessarily consider purchasing a new iPhone 13. If, on the other hand, you still use an older Apple cell phone, you should take a look at the following comparison pictures. Every year with a new generation of iPhones there are sometimes more, sometimes less noticeable improvements in the camera. The comparison reveals how clear the quality differences are. The colleagues from MacRumors compared the photographic performance of an iPhone 6, iPhone 8, iPhone 11 Pro and a new iPhone 13 - not in the Pro version (source: MacRumors). iPhone 13 in the Apple camera comparison: takes the better photos by far As expected, the iPhone 13 triumphs. What is astonishing, however, is that even the two-year-old iPhone 11 Pro is subject to the new standard model in direct confrontation . Less in daylight, but more tangible at night or when there is generally less light available. Of course, the iPhone 6 has no chance, no matter what t...

iPhone 14: Apple blows memory limits again

Image
This year, Apple surprised the iPhone 13 Pro with a larger storage option - 1 TB, a first and a new record. As early as next year, the manufacturer could go a step further and thus repeatedly break the memory limit. One thing is already certain: the iPhone 14 will be different. It is very likely that we will have a modified housing and no more notch, instead a front design with a "punch hole", ie a small camera hole and no display notch. But there is also something new to discover inside. iPhone 14: Apple plans 2 TB model The bustling rumor mill is currently promising a memory upgrade to a fabulous 2 TB for the iPhone 2022 - there's never been that much in an iPhone before. Only the iPad Pro and Macs are currently offered by Apple with this much storage space (source: MyDrivers via MacRumors). Rumor has it that Apple wants to switch to QLC flash storage for this. What is that? QLC stands for "Quad-level Cell" and ultimately offers low costs per gigabyte and...

MacBook Air in redesign: Apple still needs a little longer

Image
If you are hoping for a new MacBook Air this year, you will unfortunately have to wait in vain. In fact, it is taking a little longer at Apple, the schedule is delayed. So when can we expect a fresh successor to the current model? One of the best-informed Apple experts now has the answer. Apple insider and valued expert Ming-Chi Kuo reveals or specifies Apple's current schedule for a successor to the MacBook Air in a new report. As a result, we have to wait until the third quarter of 2022 , only then should mass production of the new Apple computer start (Source: MacRumors). MacBook Air: Apple won't be ready until autumn 2022 Ergo: It would be ready in October at the earliest . So Apple lets us wait at least another year until we get a redesigned MacBook Air. In July, Kuo was still talking about "mid-2022", but now it's going to be a little later. After all, the rumor mill promises numerous innovations that the current model of the MacBook Air has not yet off...

iPad Air 2022: Samsung leaves Apple hanging

Image
Apple's plans foresaw a model of the iPad Air with an OLED screen in 2022. Now the surprise: nothing will come of it. The reason: Samsung can't do it, leaves Apple hanging and the joint project was stopped. A few months ago, industry insiders reported on Apple's plans for the iPad Air. As a result , a model with an OLED screen should appear next year. Samsung was chosen as the manufacturer of the panel - on the one hand a strong competitor of the iPhone manufacturer, on the other hand a reliable component supplier for years. iPad Air 2022 not with OLED: Samsung can't do it After a new message, however, the previous plans are thrown overboard - Samsung is out. The joint project was canceled , Apple must and apparently also want to look for a new partner (source: The Elec). But what are the reasons for the decision? Assumptions exist about technical difficulties as well as unresolved questions of profitability. Either one or both points at the same time should have...

Apple Watch 7: the start of sales is getting closer - the date is rumored

Image
When the Apple Watch 7 was announced in September, the iPhone manufacturer could not or did not want to confirm a specific date for the start of sales. Even today Apple is silent, but not a well-known insider, who is now naming a corresponding release period. Actually one would have expected that Apple would be more specific for the new Smartwatch on the day of the launch. But nothing came of it, even today it is said succinctly about the availability of the Apple Watch 7: "All Apple Watch Series 7 models will be available later this fall." Apple Watch 7: sales start in mid-October? But what does that mean? In the worst case, we could have to wait until mid-December, after all, that's how long the calendar autumn lasts. But it doesn't come to that, at least if we believe Jon Prosser's words. The bustling Apple insider now reveals: Pre-orders could be accepted as early as calendar week 40 (in our estimation probably on Friday, October 8th) with an actual sales ...

iPhone 13 surprises testers: Apple phones are real endurance runners

Image
At first glance, the iPhone 13 (mini) and iPhone 13 Pro (Max) contain only minor improvements compared to the iPhone 12. However, not least the more powerful batteries are worth a look. But how long do they really last in the end? The results are astonishing and surprise the testers. At the iPhone 13 event, Apple promised longer battery life for the new generation of smartphones. The first tests already seemed to confirm such promises. The annual battery stress test by YouTuber Arun Maini , who hides behind the "Mrwhosetheboss" channel (source: Arun Maini), is even more informative. iPhone 13 in the battery stress test: Apple phones do so well It performs various tasks on all iPhones currently offered by Apple according to a set schedule. So long until they can no longer, i.e. until the battery has to give up and the mobile phone switches off. Who gets out first, who lasts the longest? The results in the overview: iPhone SE: 3 hours 38 minutes iPhone 11: 4 hours 20 min...

MacBooks even faster: Apple is experimenting with a mysterious feature

Image
Could MacBooks be even faster than Apple currently allows? Quite possible, because according to a recent report, the first indications of a secret "mode" in macOS Monterey have now been discovered. That could also fuel Apple's mobile computer. In the current beta version of macOS Monterey (version 12), a so-called "high power mode" has now been discovered in the depths of the program code . It could be a currently still secret function in which MacBooks can switch on a kind of "turbo mode" (source: 9to5Mac). MacBook with new "High Power Mode" How can we imagine this? As soon as the MacBook is connected to a power supply unit, the "High Power Mode" is activated as required. Now the mobile computer runs under full load regardless of power consumption and heat development , possibly faster than Apple currently allows. Seems familiar to us. Already within a developer version of macOS Catalina (version 10.15.3) there were indicati...

{Disarmed} The Apple iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max could get a massive memory upgrade

Image
It will be another year before Apple's 14-generation iPhone hits the market. But there are already rumors about the expected upgrades of Apple's new flagship smartphones. A leak from China now claims that Apple could give the iPhone 14 Pro models a massive memory upgrade. The Apple iPhone 13 smartphones have only been on the market for just under a week, but there are already rumors and leaks about the upcoming 14th generation and some of the most anticipated upgrades. For its new flagships, the Cupertino-based company is reportedly planning to upgrade the available memory configurations, including storage capacity normally only found in notebooks. According to an article by MacRumors, Apple is expected to release an iPhone 14 Pro configuration with 2TB of internal storage. Compared to the recently released iPhone 13 Pro, which is being offered for the first time with 1TB of storage, that would represent a further doubling of the capacity of its largest storage configu...

The endurance test of the iPhone 13 Pro Max: the phone is really that stable

Image
You have to dig deep into your pocket for the new premium iPhone. The cell phone should be able to do a lot, right? This is exactly the question a well-known YouTuber took on and maltreated the iPhone 13 Pro Max with knives and fire. iPhone 13 Pro Max: A stable smartphone The iPhone 13 Pro Max is the most powerful iPhone Apple has ever built. There was no need to compromise on stability, as a new video on the JerryRigEverything channel shows. YouTuber Zack Nelson is known for putting smartphones through their paces. There is no big surprise with the iPhone 13 Pro Max because the phone is stable. The OLED display of the iPhone 13 Pro Max only shows the first slight scratches at level 6 on the Mohs hardness scale , just like any other higher-priced smartphone on the market. Because of the "Ceramic Shield", however, these are a little less visible than with the competition, so the conclusion. At level 7, the protective layer can no longer keep up, as expected. In the video...

iPhone 13: Apple is hiding a cool feature

Image
According to Apple, the charging speed of the iPhone 13 has not officially changed compared to its predecessor. As it now turns out, this is not entirely correct and the manufacturer is hiding a cool feature. One model in particular can do more than Apple currently admits or advertises. But that requires a little trick. So far, Apple has advertised the same charging speed for all models of the iPhone 13 and iPhone 12, quote: "Fast charging: Up to 50% in 30 minutes with a 20W power adapter or higher (available separately)." Smartphone? Oh yes, because at least the iPhone 13 Pro Max can be filled with up to 27 watts according to current tests, whereas the predecessor only manages 21 or 22 watts (source: ChargerLAB via MacRumors). iPhone 13 Pro Max can charge even faster with a 30 watt power adapter In order for this to work, we have to resort to a trick, because instead of the 20-watt power supply recommended by Apple, there must be at least a USB-C power supply with 30 wat...

Image
With the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, the manufacturer's 2 current top flagships compete against each other in a speed comparison. Who do you think will stay ahead? And so that there are no measurement tolerances, a robot carried out the test. Both flagships had to master various disciplines, which also place different demands on the devices. It starts with opening various apps one after the other to see who is faster here. Then a selfie is taken and uploaded to an app. Then it goes on with much more demanding tasks, such as exporting videos or loading mobile games. And then it turns out that one of the two devices has an advantage over the other. In the end, the difference between the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max vs. Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra isn't that big.

iPhone 13: Apple adds something, but only for certain customers

Image
If you order an iPhone 13, you will not receive any other accessories in the box apart from a USB-C to Lightning cable. Apple's will - worldwide. Around the world? No! A country in Europe populated by indomitable Gauls does not stop resisting and continues to get a little more settled. Apple made short work of it last year. If you buy a new iPhone, you will not receive a power adapter or the headphones that have been used up to now. Only a USB-C to Lightning cable can now be found in the packaging. This does not change with the iPhone 13 either, but there is one exception. iPhone 13 is available in France with free headphones If you buy an iPhone 13 in France, you will still get the original, wired EarPods (Lightning variant) worth 19 euros free of charge (source: MacRumors). Even with the iPhone 12, Apple was forced to upgrade the scope of delivery of its cell phones accordingly. However, the manufacturer does not do this voluntarily, because according to the law he is oblige...

{Disarmed} Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max endurance test [video]

Image
Now the new Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max has to face the endurance test by Zack from the YouTube channel JerryRigEverything. Will the phone do what it says on the tin? Because if not, at least EUR 1,249.00 are gone, because that's how much the Pro Max costs this year as a starter. The process is well known. It is scratched again, the display is maltreated with fire and in the end Zack tries to bend the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Although this new iPhone looks very similar to last year's iPhone, and the year before and the year before, the durability has to be checked again. When it comes to glass, there are no slips. And surprisingly, the test with the lighter on the display of the device fails. And what's going on during the bend test? Will the device be able to withstand the raw forces? But see for yourself, the iPhone 13 Pro Max suffers a lot and it is always a shame to see a new device being "processed" in this way. But enough said: Click here to view the conten...

Apple Pay: Thieves can steal any amount of money - without identification

Image
As an Apple customer, you are actually used to high security standards. But things cannot always run smoothly, as the example of Apple Pay shows. Criminals can outsmart Apple's contactless payment system, and experts have discovered a security gap. In theory, unlimited amounts can easily be tapped from this. Apple Pay with Visa Card: Experts Bypass Identification Security researchers from the Universities of Birmingham and Surrey in England have found that a security problem arises when Apple Pay and Visa cards interact (source: BBC). The reason for this is the "Express Public Transport" function of Apple Pay. Actually, it should make it possible to make small payments, for example at ticket terminals when traveling by bus or train, without unlocking the iPhone. Unlocking by code, fingerprint or Face ID is otherwise used for authentication. Express public transport is already technically possible for the popular Apple Watches. But: There are practically no correspond...
