A leaker has published alleged specs, prices, and even renders of the upcoming Apple iPad mini 6, including a carefully constructed image that resembles a live shot. There are a couple of surprises in store, both good and bad, with the iPad mini 6 turning out to be basically a miniature iPad Air 4.

Epic Games has failed to convince a US court that Apple has broken the country's anti-competition laws. Nevertheless, the Cupertino giant has now officially lost its monopoly on purchases made within apps that run on its operating systems and are bought through its App Store. Therefore, Fortnite may indeed return to iOS soon.

Ahead of the official announcement this coming Tuesday, the well-known analyst expects Apple to finally increase the storage of its iPhone 13 base models from 64GB to 128GB. He also predicts that the iPhone 13 Pro will get a 1TB storage option, and that the AirPods 3 will launch alongside the iPhone 13.

Apple is reportedly working on a successor to the iPhone SE 2—or iPhone SE (2020) as it was marketed. Some details of this compact phone, the iPhone SE 3, have now been revealed in a new leak, but expectant fans will have to wait months for a release.

According to Apple, extended exposure to vibrations at certain frequencies may harm the delicate optical image stabilization mechanism that is built into its iPhone cameras. Riders who mount their iPhone on their high-powered motorcycle should be particularly wary of this issue.

The popular online video platform Vimeo has announced that content created, shared and viewed through its medium now has the option of Dolby Vision integration. This may unleash the potential for enhanced detail with improved brightness for many creators. However, there is a catch: the upgrade is available for certain Apple devices only.

Apple's most recent iPad Air tablet is on sale on Amazon. The combined discount of $99 means that the 64GB Wi-Fi variant of the tablet has hit its lowest price to date at US$499.

According to a report, a Ukrainian retailer has already listed product pages for the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. Allegedly, the listings confirm not only the colours of this year's iPhones, but also their storage configurations.

Several reports have indicated that Apple would have problems producing its next-generation smartwatch in time for its September 14 launch event. Reportedly, Apple has now overcome these issues, providing it with enough stock for launch day.

Apple will release the iPad Mini 6 at its event in California next week, and a new leak has now put paid to some fan hopes for the smaller Apple tablet. Apparently, the iPad Mini 6 will sport an LCD, and not a mini-LED as some reports have claimed.

Next week, Apple will reveal the A15 Bionic, the SoC that is expected to feature at the heart of the iPhone 13 series. Leaked performance data suggests that the A15 Bionic could pack plenty of GPU power, possibly more so than even the Exynos 2200 and its AMD RDNA 2-based GPU.

Leaked iPhone 14 renders have offered an initial look at Apple's smartphones for 2022. While the iPhone 13 will look like the iPhone 12, the iPhone 14 will represent the first major design change for the iPhone since the iPhone X.

Apple has announced its annual September hardware event under the motto 'California Streaming'. The company is expected to unveil at least the iPhone 13 and Watch Series 7, which should both feature design changes from current models.

Apple has been awarded a patent for some unique-looking iMacs. The designs show a device with a glass case and a keyboard integrated within its curved housing.

Rumours have started circulating that the Apple M2 will deliver exceptional graphics performance, potentially as high as a former flagship NVIDIA GPU. The reality could not be further from the truth.

Labeled 2.9 “Direct Hit” and released earlier today, the latest update to War Thunder sports a rich collection of new aircraft, ships, armored vehicles, and more. Its highlights include the MiG-27M (also the first aircraft in the game to carry guided bombs), two new battlegrounds, as well as visual updates for some older models (the B-17 bombers, for example).

Millions of Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 6 sales around the globe have helped the Chinese OEM pip Apple for the top position in the table of world’s largest wearable band vendors in the second quarter of 2021. However, Apple is in a very strong position thanks to high sales of its Watch Series while there is a gloomy forecast for basic smart bands.

Apple may be transitioning to in-house SoCs, but it will keep at least one Mac product on Intel processors until next year. The MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook Pro 16 are expected to expand Apple's Mac lineup by this holiday season, with a new Mac mini the only replacement for existing hardware.

Apple has backflipped on its controversial CSAM initiative for its iCloud Photos service. The company says it is planning to take additional time to make unspecified improvements to its system before deploying it in the coming months.

The M1 Mac mini has been pitted against the Ryzen 9 5900HX-powered EliteMini HX90 in a clash of processor titans. While the Apple M1 couldn’t completely overpower the AMD Zen 3 part in every single benchmark, it was clearly dominant overall. The M1’s 8-core iGPU also stood up well against the AMD Radeon Graphics 8 iGPU.

Apple is covering all its bases for its proprietary M chips, and is now looking into alternatives to ARM's core IPs in the eventuality that Nvidia manages to finalize the deal. A new job posted by Apple hints at the possibility that future Macs and iPhones could integrate RISC-V technology.

The iPhone maker is reportedly talking with several Asian suppliers and manufacturers in order to find the best partners for the mass production of its Apple Car, which is scheduled to begin in 2024.

It has been reported that the Apple Watch Series 7 has suffered a setback during production. It had been rumored the Series 7 Watch would be released in September but Apple is yet to announce an official release date. New colorful fan-made concept renders of the Apple Watch offer an idea of what fans can expect.

Purported prices for all of the upcoming Apple iPhone 13 smartphones have been floating around social media and news sites in China for the last few days. According to an iPhone 13 price list, a 64 GB iPhone 13 mini will cost 5,499 yuan (US$851) while a 1 TB iPhone 13 Pro Max will be 14,099 yuan (US$2,182). Pro models with 256 GB seem to be off the table.

Tim Cook could be planning one more major product release as Apple CEO before stepping down from the role. The report comes from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman who said Cook may step down before a share deal matures in 2025.

The upcoming iPhone 13 and the future Apple Car may be just two of the products out of Cupertino that will eventually be able to have access to low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite communications. This would allow Apple iPhone 13 users to be able to make calls or send messages when outside of regular radio mast coverage.

A new leak appears to reveal the launch date of Apple's next batch of smartphones, the iPhone 13 series. The launch event will see the unveiling of the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max, with a couple other mobile products potentially also scheduled for release on that date.

The expected Apple M1X SoC has been broken down into four potential variants for the upcoming MacBook Pro 14, MacBook Pro 16, and Mac mini. The system on a chip’s configurations are decided by the amount of unified memory and the GPU core count. It has been rumored that the M1X will have a 10-core CPU part.

Apple has acknowledged that some units from its latest flagship iPhone line have faults in which they cannot emit sound during calls. The OEM has accordingly set up a new service program by which users affected by these issues can send them to office centers to have certain components replaced. It applies to the 12 and 12 Pro variants only.

While the expected announcement of the Apple Watch Series 7 is still a few weeks away, Chinese copycats have already started selling smartwatches that precisely replicate the design of Apple's latest wearable. Even though the marketing images look great, these cheap knockoffs from China are often of inferior quality.

The forthcoming Apple iPhone 13 may be costlier than expected thanks to price hikes being implemented by semiconductor manufacturer TSMC. While there was speculation that the iPhone 13 could be priced from US$799 for the base model, this now seems unlikely as higher price tags might be needed to cover rising chip costs.

According to reports, Apple plans to release a ninth-generation iPad this autumn, possibly alongside the rumoured iPad mini 6. The iPad 9 is thought to retain the current model's design, albeit with a thinner chassis and a more powerful chipset.

According to a report, Apple is working to bring more advanced Face ID features to its next iPhones. A new leak about the name of Apple's upcoming iPhones has been given the nod by people in the know, too.

New fan-made concept renders of the upcoming Apple iPad mini 6 tablet offer a mouth-watering glimpse at what the future could be like.

It’s possible the sleek slate will have an introductory price of US$399.

The Galaxy S22 series will debut Samsung's highly awaited Exynos 2200 and its AMD mRDNA GPU. Early GPU benchmarks of the SoC running on beta drivers have now surfaced, and show a huge advantage over Apple A14 Bionic.

It has been claimed that although the upcoming Apple MacBook Pro 14 will obviously be smaller than the MacBook Pro 16 it will still offer the same level of performance as the larger laptop thanks to the Apple M1X SoC. However, this performance comes at a price, with the M1X MacBook Pro 14 likely costing much more than a MacBook Pro 13.

Apple is said to have tested Touch ID for the iPhone 13 range, but has dropped it ahead of its launch. Apple is known to have been developing under-display Touch ID tech for some time, but its reasons for scuttling the feature for this generation aren’t clear.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has provided more clues about the next-generation Mac mini. Apparently, the M1X-equipped mini-PC has not been delayed, after all.

Samsung and Apple have been known to sneak-diss each other regularly as befitting of their rivalry. Samsung's latest attempt may be considered by some to be a low blow, however, with the company appearing to make a reference to late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs in a theme description.

The iPad Mini 6 is expected to launch this fall and a new leak has revealed some important features of the cheaper Apple tablet. Particularly notable on the spec sheet are a Type-C port and an A14 Bionic beneath the hood.

An alleged Apple iPhone 13 Pro or possible iPhone prototype has appeared in a couple of images now doing the rounds on social media. The supposed iPhone 13 Pro in the pictures is purportedly “rose gold” although it has more of a purple or "dark bronze" hue to it in the images. The massive camera bump has seemingly ruled out the device being an iPhone 12 Pro.

Apple is reportedly exploring the possibility of manufacturing iPad chassis from titan alloy instead of aluminum, which could greatly improve the tablet's lackluster rigidity and therefore rectify one of its most glaring weaknesses.

According to the document that was attached to Job's email, Apple worked on an even smaller iPhone in 2010. These intriguing plans for an iPhone nano have not materialized in the almost ten years since the passing of the tech icon.

The upcoming iPad mini 6 has shown itself again, this time in an aluminium mockup. The tablet is expected to feature uniform and slim bezels, Touch ID within its power button and strangely-placed volume buttons.

The release of internal information about upcoming products has been an ongoing issue for many tech companies, which is why last year Apple took drastic measures to finally identify disingenuous employees in its own ranks.

Chargeasap has launched successors to its super-charged Flash power bank via Indiegogo. The OEM asserts that the new Pro series incorporates its forebear's best attributes, a 100W USB-C Power Delivery (USB-PD) 3.0 output suitable for MacBook Pros included, albeit with upgrades such as more type-C ports and a very Apple-specific variant this time around
