According to recent media reports, since Apple did not launch a new generation of iPad Pro at this year’s spring conference, the product is likely to be launched at the new product launch from September to November this year. According to the news, the new iPad Pro will have the most powerful performance in the iPad product line, meeting all users’ expectations for “high performance”.

According to previous reports, the new iPad Pro will still have two different versions, 11-inch and 12.9-inch. In terms of hardware performance, the new iPad Pro will be equipped with TSMC’s 4nm process M2 chip, which has a more powerful GPU, so the new iPad Pro may have a significant improvement in graphics performance.
In addition, the new iPad Pro will also be equipped with MagSafe charging, but considering the large battery capacity of the iPad Pro, the MagSafe charging for the iPad Pro may have higher charging efficiency.
Another source said that Apple intends to control the update cycle of iPad Pro products. In the future, the iPad Pro product line may not be updated every year, but will be extended to about a year and a half.

On March 25, China Mobile learned that Apple said that its iMessage service was interrupted earlier on Thursday local time, and the problem has now been resolved. Notably, this is already the third time in a week that Apple has experienced service outages in a row.

It is reported that a large number of netizens complained about the downtime of Apple iMessage on the downtime tracking website Downdetector and Twitter. Complaints about the service began to increase sharply around 4:20 p.m. ET, with thousands of complainants, and not a few users affected. It is understood that iMessage messages are not sent at all in some cases, and sometimes even pictures are not available.
It should be noted that just this week, Apple has experienced two outages. On Monday, local time, Apple suffered a wide-ranging network outage, including services such as Apple Music, iCloud and the App Store, which were cut off, affecting dozens of services. The network failure also affected product sales and office work, hampered the company’s product operations and other work, and also affected communication among employees and the ability to access the internal network.
Then on Tuesday local time, a large number of users reported that Apple had another server downtime. There were problems with services such as Apple Music, Podcasts, Books, and the App Store, and the interruption of services caused dissatisfaction among users. The second server outage this week has been resolved after nearly two hours.

The Apple Watch Series 3 has been around for five years, but it seems 2022 will be the end of the line for the smartwatch. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes that the Apple Watch Series 3 may be discontinued in the third quarter of 2022. Ming-Chi Kuo believes the watch is too old to run the latest version of WatchOS. In his words, the device “doesn’t have enough computing power to meet the requirements of the new watchOS.”

Originally released in 2017, the Apple Watch Series 3 is now 5 years old, which is pretty awesome for any wearable device. However, recently after a WatchOS 7 update, the device has experienced random reboots or freezes, low storage space, drained battery, and more. Users are also facing issues updating the Watch Series 3 to the latest version of WatchOS due to lack of storage, and the watch often requires users to reset the Watch to initiate the update. Surprisingly, despite Apple’s introduction of the Apple Watch SE, it has survived.
With the launch of WatchOS 9, the Watch Series 3 is expected to be phased out due to lagging hardware. Apple will launch WatchOS 9 at WWDC 2022, at which point it may drop support for the Watch Series 3. Rumor has it that Apple is expected to launch three new Apple Watch models this year — the Apple Watch SE, Apple Watch Series 8, and the rugged Apple Watch Explorer for sports enthusiasts. Also, there may not be a place for the Watch Series 3 in the keynote.
The Apple Watch Series 8 is expected to get a new flat design consistent with the current iPhone and iPad. Also, it may have a body temperature sensor. The Apple Watch Explorer may have an impact-resistant and sturdy case.

The iPhone 14 series has not been released yet, and the news about the iPhone 15 series is coming! On March 23, foreign media TheElec learned that Samsung Display is currently developing a new under-screen camera technology for its client Apple to hide Face ID under the display of the next-generation iPhone.

According to the source, Samsung Display’s technology is expected to be applied first to the foldable phone Samsung Electronics will launch next year, and then to the Pro series of the iPhone 15 series. It is reported that Apple plans to use the hole display and Face ID under the panel on the iPhone 15 Pro model.
The punch-hole design is widely used in today’s smartphones, and Apple is expected to apply it to the iPhone 14 series later this year.
Apple currently installs various sensors, including Face ID, in the notch on the top of its iPhones. But with under-screen Face ID, the phone will hide the sensor when not in use. This is essentially the same under-display camera or UPC technology that Samsung Display applied on the Galaxy Z Fold 3 launched last year.
Samsung Display is reportedly working with Canada’s OTI Lumionics to develop its new under-screen camera technology. Meanwhile, Samsung plans to use laser drilling on the Galaxy Z Fold 3 to make the under-display camera, just like it did on the Fold 3. Apple has decided not to use laser drilling and is looking for an alternative. LG Display is also developing its own under-panel camera technology, aiming to increase the light transmittance of the hole to more than 40% after 2024.

Nowadays, folding screen mobile phones are in full swing, and new folding screen phones from various manufacturers have been sold out one after another. Recently, Samsung filed a patent for the horizontal and vertical hinge design.

When the user folds the phone vertically, the screen will be displayed on the outside, which is convenient for the user to operate with one hand; and when the user folds the device horizontally, the screen will be located inside, which makes the device not hurt the screen when carrying it.

At the same time, after the device is fully unfolded, users can get a fairly large front screen, providing a convenient operating experience. Thanks to the multi-hinge design, this device does not need to be equipped with a separate external secondary screen. After it is folded vertically, it will have a front and rear dual-screen device.
The source said that the overall size of the multi-folding phone currently under development is slightly larger than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. And Samsung is also considering designing a new system support for this device that can be folded in multiple ways, which will benefit the actual user experience.
On this basis, this multi-folding device will bring a variety of user modes. Users can perform upper and lower partition operations just like on a laptop, which is also supported by some current folding screen devices.
