After the release of the iPhone 13 series, the shape of its camera module has become a hot topic in the outside world. On the iPhone 14 series, the hole-digging design has become quite popular online.

On February 23, the latest set of renderings of the iPhone 14 series was exposed again. It can be seen from the renderings that the iPhone 14 series will bid farewell to “Liu Haiping” this time, adopting a hole-digging design (including front-facing holes and Face ID holes), and the entire shape is arranged in an exclamation mark. In other designs, the middle frame of the iPhone 14 series is still the same as the previous two generations of iPhones, insisting on a right-angle design, and the rectangle of the camera module disappears and becomes more simple, which is very consistent with Apple’s design concept.

After reading this set of renderings of the iPhone 14 series, to be honest, I personally think that the effect is not bad, and it is acceptable to the senses (it should have been done long ago). However, this should be a rendering of the iPhone 14 Pro series, and the standard version of the iPhone 14 should still use the notch design, which has been rumored for a long time.
Many people are concerned about whether the iPhone 14 series will adopt high-speed brushes. After all, whether Apple has high-speed brushes, the experience is completely different. Previously, it was reported that the entire iPhone 14 series will have a ProMotion adaptive refresh rate screen.
According to the supply chain news a few days ago, the iPhone 14 may have entered the trial production stage, and many manufacturers have also received relevant orders. It seems that the launch of the iPhone 14 series will be smoother.

As we all know, smartphones are generally divided into two operating systems at present: iOS and Android. Among them, iOS is favored by many users due to its convenient operation and high security. On June 8, 2021, Apple released iOS 15. After half a year, iOS 15 has been updated several times, and the current functions are very rich. On February 23, Apple launched iOS 15.4 beta 4 for developers, adding new features.

Since many people’s AirTag trackers and the search network “Find My” are used for illegal tracking, Apple announced on February 10 that it would make improvements. In iOS 15.4 beta 4, Apple added the AirTag anti-tracking function, and in the “Using [AirTag] to stalk others is a crime in many parts of the world” on the settings screen. At the same time, Apple has also made changes in details, including options to cancel disabling project security alerts, add custom tracking notifications, and find network notifications.
It is worth mentioning that this improvement against AirTag abuse is only a part of many solutions, and other functions will be released in the future, such as precise search of unknown AirTag. In addition, industry insiders said that the official version of iOS 15.4 will be released in a few weeks, and will be launched simultaneously with the iPhone SE3. In addition to iOS 15.4 beta 4, Apple also rolled out iPadOS 15.4 Beta 4, which introduced a fifth “US” Siri voice.

According to the latest news, Apple may hold its first new product launch event in 2022 on March 8, local time. Some media said that Apple may launch at least one new Mac at this conference, followed by more Mac products from May to June this year.

According to analysis, the new Mac that will be unveiled in March is likely to be a new Mac mini or a 13-inch MacBook Pro. Among them, the Mac mini is likely to adopt a new design, while the 13-inch MacBook Pro is expected to continue the traditional shape. In terms of hardware, both will be equipped with more powerful M-series chips.
In addition, products including the large-screen iMac and Mac Pro are also expected to be updated this year. Among them, the large-screen version of the iMac may be equipped with a mini-LED screen, which has more powerful performance and will be aimed at professional users. Apple’s highest-end Mac Pro will be updated before WWDC this year. It is expected to come standard with the M1 Max chip. At the same time, Apple may also prepare a dual M1 Max chip version for it to further improve performance.

As we all know, in terms of folding screens, many manufacturers are still in the exploratory stage. Although the price of some folding screen mobile phones remains below 10,000 yuan, they still cannot compare with the candy bar in terms of experience. Many Android manufacturers’ folding screen phones have gradually become practical after several iterations, but Apple has been slow to announce its folding screen products. What’s more, some people think that Apple has no ability to develop folding screen phones. Is this really the case?

Recently, Ross Young, an analyst at research firm Display Supply Chain Consultants, said that Apple may have delayed the foldable iPhone until 2025, while exploring the full-screen foldable MacBook, Apple does not seem to be in a hurry to enter the folding machine market. In addition, it is reported that Apple is discussing a 20-inch foldable product with the supply chain. When folded, it is a full-size laptop that can be used as a display when unfolded. This product may be launched in 2026-2027. .

It is worth mentioning that not only Apple is researching folding screen computers, but Samsung’s previous laptop design patent was approved by the World Intellectual Property Organization. Samsung’s patent diagram shows that the screen and keyboard of this notebook are split in two from the middle, and this screen seems to be made of two screens spliced ​​together. In addition, the notebook’s screen and keyboard are magnetically connected, and the two can be used separately and folded separately. At the same time, the notebook has a battery on the left and right sides, using an asymmetrical design.

Although it feels like the Google Pixle 6 series has just been released, the first revelations about the Google Pixel 7 series have come.
There have been recent reports that Google is working on its second-generation Tensor chipsets. The chipset will power the upcoming Google Pixel 7 series, which uses Samsung’s 5300 Exynos modem for connectivity. The Pixel 7 and 7 Pro are codenamed Cheeta and Panther, respectively. For reference, the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro use the Tensor GS101 chipset, codenamed “Oriole” and “Raven”. According to a report by 9to5Google, a Tensor processor with the model number GS201, codenamed “Cloudripper”, is being tested.

In addition to Cloudripper, there are three codenames connected to Exynos modems. Two of them – Cheeta and Panther are considered the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro. From the first Pixel smartphone, Sailfish, to the last Pixel smartphone, the Pixel 5 “Redfin,” which carried the codename for a sea creature, Pixel devices have always had a codename associated with a fish or other sea creature.
The codenames for the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro are Oriole and Raven, respectively. This is followed by the Pixel 6a, codenamed Bluejay, and the Pixel Notepad, codenamed Pipit, which are bird names. For the Pixel 7 series, the company is changing its codename scheme to animal names, suggesting that each generation of Pixel phones will have a new codename scheme.
The third codename associated with the Exynos modem – “Ravenclaw” sounds like a Hogwarts reference book, but unless Google has something magical planned for the Pixel 7 series, things might be different. Separately, the Google Pixel foldable smartphone is expected to go into production in the third quarter of 2022 and launch alongside the Google Pixel 7 series in the fourth quarter of 2022.
