Week 23 in review: Apple introduces iOS 16, M2 chip, new MacBook Air

This week was the Apple WWDC developer conference and we had a full event. Traditionally, Apple has shown new versions of its platforms for smartphone, tablet, computer and smartwatch.

It all started with iOS. We haven’t received a message about the display always on, which means Apple is keeping it as an exclusive iPhone 14 Pro for this fall. We got a big reconstruction of the locked screen with the option to change the visualization of the date and time, as well as move the notifications to the bottom, which makes things easier to access and cleaner. The announcements themselves became smarter.

Apple also introduced the M2, its second-generation ARM-based chipset. This is the base model that will power Apple’s entry-level machines, such as the new MacBook Air and the 13-inch MacBook Pro, which received the processor as an upgrade.

M2 is 18% faster in processing and 35% faster in graphics, all with the same 5nm process and low power consumption. The M2 has an 8-core CPU and up to a 10-core GPU.

The new MacBook Air brings an updated design that finally removes the wedge shape introduced by the original Air in 2008 and replaces it with a new flatter look. The new Air weighs 1.22 kg, has a 13.6-inch 16:10 500-nit display, M2 processor and starts with 8GB of Unified memory and 256GB of memory for $ 1,199 / € 1,499.

Pixel 6a once again broke the cover, this time by listing on the Facebook Marketplace. The list is full of photos on the phone.

We now have a full overview of the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra, the phone with a truly invisible camera under the display, a unique 35mm main camera, good battery life and excellent design.

This will happen in week 23. See you next!

Notifications, messages, wallet, maps, news and CarPlay received updates.

The new MacBook Air supports MagSafe charging and up to 24GB of unified memory.

Three 64MP rear cameras and a massive 6.8 ”AMOLED promise a lot.

The device is expected to go on sale on July 28.

Could this be HTC’s longtime flagship phone?

It is built on a more advanced 5nm process and comes with two additional GPU cores.

The JR510 SoC in the C40 is said to offer Snapdragon 450 / Helio G35 performance.

The company is still mocking the details, but expect more details about your first smartphone soon.

iPadOS 16 also releases some old devices – very old ones, such as iPad Air 2 from 2014. watchOS 9 requires iOS 16, so this can cause some problems if you have an old phone.

It is rumored that this is a new brand Redmi Note 11T Pro, announced last month in China.

The Neo 3T is led by the Snapdragon 870, along with an 80W fast charge and a 5000 mAh battery.

Clock 5 is expected in three sizes.

There are also enhancements to the built-in Mail app, as well as password-replacement passwords in Safari.

Phone suitable for Shinobi warrior.

The TUV certificate of the device reveals the charging adapter of the phone.

It is said that this is a version of the Redmi K40S.

The device will bear the iconic red Leica logo.

The smartphone debuted in India for INR 17,499 or about $ 210 / € 225.

It will be part of the company’s Note 12 range.

Quite a competitive mid-range offering.

It has a better camera than Redmi, but the rest should be the same.

Negotiators between the European Parliament and the Council have reached an interim agreement.

It is claimed that the SM8550 chip will include a combination of new cores (Cortex-X3 and A720) and old cores (A710 and A510).

Both phones will soon be available in Brazil.

MacBook Air stole the show, iPadOS gets MacOS, and iOS 16 sees small updates
