Apple’s event scheduled for April 20 is likely to feature a new iPad Pro and “AirTags”, “iPhone 13” rumors, Apple TV and more, all in this week’s episode of the AppleInsider Podcast.
The highly anticipated Spring Apple event has been officially announced for Tuesday, April 20, as an all-digital event streaming at 10 a.m. Pacific. We expect a new iPad Pro to star in the event, featuring mini LED screen technology for the larger 12.9-inch iPad Pro.
In addition to the new iPads, the rumors “AirTags” may be released at this event, perhaps even alongside “AirPods 3”. Stay tuned for a special episode of the podcast that will air shortly after the event ends and check out everything released at Apple’s “Spring Loaded” event.
More leaks from the “iPhone 13” indicate a smaller notch and slightly thicker hardware design. In addition, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo released a report claiming that Face ID will move below the iPhone screen by 2023, creating a true full-screen experience. Kuo also indicated that a new 48-megapixel camera with 8K video support could debut on the iPhone in 2022.
According to an Bloomberg report, Apple is working on a new Apple TV that would combine the set-top box with a HomePod-like speaker. The report also states that Apple is developing a combination of speakers and touchscreens similar to Amazon’s Echo Show.
Logitech has announced that the Harmony line of remotes is being discontinued and we’re so upset. While the company plans to support the software and add additional devices in the future, the decision leaves users looking for a physical universal remote with few options.
Subsequently, Discord was forced to remove some of its NSFW servers in order to lower their App Store age rating to 12+ and remain available to young teens. Additionally, Verizon is giving up RCS, leaving little hope for a rich texting experience on Android phones, and iMessage lock-in to be revealed as part of Epic’s argument in the upcoming lawsuit with Apple.
