Apple Watch 7: Amazon reveals the final secrets of the smartwatch

Image
The manufacturer is currently silent about the specific model configurations of the Apple Watch 7, but Amazon is now revealing more than Apple shortly before the start of the order. We can therefore expect the following color and bracelet combinations. The iPhone manufacturer recently announced the start of orders and sales for the Apple Watch 7. According to this, it will start on October 8th at 2 p.m. our time, and the first deliveries should be made to customers a week later. From then on, Apple only revealed the starting price (429 euros), but was silent about specific basic configurations, i.e. the corresponding color and bracelet combinations of the Apple Watch Series 7 . Apple Watch 7: Amazon revealed configurations in advance Quite different from Amazon. The world's largest dealer briefly listed the respective models in the Canadian store - but without price or ordering option. After all, we now get knowledge of the model variations available from the start (source: Ba

iPhone 13: Apple s update promises innovations and improvements

Image
Buyers of a new iPhone 13 in one of the two Pro versions have so far had to forego an announced feature. Now we at least know with which update Apple would like to improve in the near future. But a little bit of patience is still required. At the presentation of the iPhone 13 Pro (Max), Apple promised to support the ProRes format for the new smartphone . Professional videographers who already know the format were enthusiastic, but were put off by Apple. The support is currently not yet integrated, a later update should fix this fact. iPhone 13 Pro gets ProRes support with iOS 15.1 With the release of the third preview version of the update to iOS 15.1 (Beta 3) that Apple is working on, Apple is fulfilling its promise . A corresponding switch for activation or deactivation can now be found in the camera settings - sub-item "Formats" (source: MacRumors). Important to know: If you only have one model of the iPhone 13 Pro (Max) with 128 GB of storage, you can record at a ma

iPhone 14: Apple is pushing the memory limit

Image
This year, Apple surprised the iPhone 13 Pro with a storage option of 1 TB. A premiere and thus also a new record, there has never been so much memory in the iPhone before. As early as next year, however, the manufacturer could go a step further and push the memory limit again. One thing is already certain: the iPhone 14 will be different. It is very likely that we will have a modified housing and no more notch, instead a front design with a "punch hole", ie a small camera hole and no display notch. But there is also something new to discover inside. iPhone 14: Apple wants to offer 2 TB model The bustling rumor mill is currently promising a memory upgrade to a fabulous 2 TB for the iPhone 2022 - there's never been that much in an iPhone before. Only the iPad Pro and Macs are currently offered by Apple with this much storage space (source: MyDrivers via MacRumors). Rumor has it that Apple wants to switch to QLC flash storage for this. What is that? QLC stands for &quo

No chance for Android: the iPhone processor is really that powerful

Image
Android fans have to be brave now: the brand new processor in the iPhone 13 models is actually even more powerful than Apple itself claims. Even the best Android smartphones can no longer keep up. The processor of the iPhone 13 beats the Android competition by lengths With the new iPhones, Apple has also presented a new processor . The A15 Bionic is so powerful that Apple can pat itself on the back again. How much better it is in comparison, Apple has also named: It should be a full 50 percent that distinguishes the A15 from other processors. As it turns out, the iPhone processor can do even more. According to a study by AnandTech, the A15 from Apple is 62 percent more powerful than the SoCs of the competition. In addition, it should be designed so efficiently that the increased energy consumption of the best processor cores does not play a role in everyday life. According to the experts, Apple has also outdone itself when it comes to graphics performance. With the A15 this is no

Apple Watch vs. Rolex: There is a new winner

Image
How can you compare an Apple Watch to a luxurious Rolex? We don't, but we do a very specific group of customers. They are now choosing a new winner in the unequal popularity contest. Who will win? Teenagers may not be a species of their own, but they do have their own opinions and ideas. Last but not least, they are also expressed in your purchasing behavior and understanding of the brand. A new study among young people from the USA is currently giving us insights into this (source: Piper Sandler via MacRumors). A total of 10,000 teenagers from 44 US states with an average age of 15.8 years were surveyed. Apple Watch More Popular Than Rolex: The Opinion of US Teens Exciting: Even last year, the Swiss manufacturer "Rolex" was the number 1 watch brand for young people in the USA, although it was probably also irrespective of whether one could afford such a watch. This popularity has changed, because now the Apple Watch conquers the hearts of adolescents. Apple's sma

AirPods: Apple has longed for functionality

Image
Anyone who owns the AirPods Pro or the even more expensive AirPods Max was looking forward to a useful feature with the appearance of iOS 15. However, Apple postponed the function, but now it is laudable. In particular, forgetful contemporaries will thank Apple. Update from October 6, 2021: With the latest firmware updates for Apple's headphones, published a few hours ago, the manufacturer provides the gear reduction for the "Where is?" Network (source: MacRumors). Thanks to the long-awaited function, AirPods Pro (firmware 3E751) and AirPods Max (firmware 3E756) can be found and located in an emergency - equivalent to Apple's AirTags. There was also a firmware update for the simple AirPods, but the function mentioned is only available for the two expensive models. The update process is usually started automatically without any action on the part of the user. If you want to "force it", you should simply put the headphones in the charging case, connect the

iPad Mini is causing problems again: Did Apple save at the wrong end?

Image
The criticism of the new iPad Mini continues: After the jelly scrolling effect has already caused displeasure, some owners are now reporting discolorations when pressure is applied to the display. This is usually only known from much cheaper entry-level tablets. For Apple, the matter is clear: The jelly scrolling effect is a normal behavior of LC displays, according to the US group in a recent statement. It remains to be seen whether one shares this view. However, the latest quirk of the sixth generation of the iPad Mini is likely to be anything but normal. iPad Mini 6: Discoloration and distortion when printing on the display Owners of the new iPad Mini report unsightly discoloration and distortion when they exert pressure on the display (source: Reddit). A video documents what this looks like in practice: The person concerned from the video assures that only a slight pressure was exerted and that the effect occurs particularly clearly when the iPad is in dark mode. Clearly visi

iPhone 13 hardly inspires: The spark does not jump over

Image
Alarm signal for Apple: According to a new survey, the iPhone 13 is far less popular than its predecessor. The intention to buy has decreased noticeably. The respondents think that the iPhone 13 is simply not "exciting" enough. Survey: The iPhone 13 hardly inspires The new iPhone 13 models are here and quite a few Apple customers are currently wondering whether an upgrade from an older iPhone makes sense . According to a large-scale survey in the US, where a total of 5,000 iPhone users were asked, enthusiasm for the iPhone 13 is pretty limited. The purchase intention has fallen by 20 percent compared to the iPhone 12, so the conclusion (source: SellCell). The spark does not jump over with the iPhone 13. When asked what they think of the new iPhone 13, 14.4 percent of Apple users said it was "extreme" or "very exciting". 21.5 percent rated it as "a little exciting"; 64.1 percent think it's "not very" or "not at all" exc

iPad Pro: Apple wants to switch to new technology

Image
Both Apple and the buyers of the current iPad Pro could be satisfied. Nevertheless, Apple wants to replace a core technology of the tablet in the future and there is a good reason for this. According to a current report, Apple plans to switch to OLED screens for the iPad Pro in 2023 and 2024, respectively. At least one of the devices should therefore also have a large 12.9-inch display (source: The Elec via MacRumors). iPad Pro with OLED screen: why does Apple want to switch? Accordingly, Apple would apparently disdain the mini-LED technology that was only introduced this year. Alternatively, of course, the previous display could also continue to exist as an option for customers. The report is silent on this point. But there is a good reason for Apple's renewed willingness to switch. In contrast to the newer LTPO OLED screen of the iPhone 13 Pro (Max), the ProMotion display of the iPad Pro only supports a smaller range of refresh rates between 24 Hz and 120 Hz . This has rema

Already known? This is what the “i” in iPhone actually stands for!

Image
Why is the iPhone actually called the iPhone, what does the lowercase letter "i" actually stand for? Anyone who thinks they know is probably wrong, because the whole truth has already been forgotten. Actually, things are clear, Apple's world-famous nomenclature began with the first iMac in 1998 - iMac, iPod, iPhone, iPad. Actually correct, but what did the little "i" stand for on the knobbly all-in-one? Exciting: The "i" in iPhone actually doesn't just stand for "Internet" One or the other Apple user thinks he knows the answer and calls out at the same time: Internet! Correctly. The global network was just about to take off and the iMac was the ideal launch pad. But this does not completely answer the question. What was forgotten, the little "i" had other meanings. Steve Jobs, Apple co-founder and long-time CEO, revealed the meaning of the small letter when the iMac was presented. So you could read the following other term

iPhone SE 3: This Apple phone is too good to be true

Image
The iPhone 12 got its well-deserved successor this year with the iPhone 13, but the affordable iPhone SE went unnoticed by Apple. This should change in 2022. The justified hope is spurring the imagination of talented designers in the meantime. However, they present us with an iPhone SE 3 that, in the end, is too good to be true. The well-informed rumor mill is unanimous: next year, Apple will again be sending a new, inexpensive iPhone into the race with the third-generation iPhone SE in order to win the favor of customers. This year, however, as expected, only the iPhone 13 was presented in four versions - definitely not for bargain hunters. iPhone SE in a new look: A dream of an Apple cell phone But how could Apple design the iPhone SE 3? The makers of the YouTube channel "ConceptsiPhone" give a rather imaginative and equally impressive answer. Specific technical data are left out, but some things can still be deduced from the images (source: ConceptsiPhone). This is ho

Apple Watch 7: Smartwatch escaped and photographed

Image
Apple had already shown the Apple Watch 7 to the world, but only staged it. In other words, they could only be seen on PR recordings, but not in "real". But now the smartwatch has escaped the manufacturer's clutches and was photographed under real conditions. What impression does this make? In the meantime, Apple recently revealed details about the launch of the Apple Watch 7 - orders can be made from October 8th, and it will actually be delivered a week later on October 15th. But until then there are still officially only press photos of the new Smartwatch. If this is not enough for the purchase decision, you can catch a glimpse of real photos (source: MacRumors). Apple Watch 7: These pictures of the smartwatch are not from Apple They appeared on a group of Apple Watch fans on Facebook. In the meantime, however, the images have already been removed, but the colleagues from MacRumors were able to save them in good time. Apparently they come from the circle of a mobil

Best Steve Jobs Quotes: “Oh wow. Oh wow Oh wow. "

Image
Ten years ago today, the legendary Apple co-founder Steve Jobs died far too early. In the 56 years of his life he influenced countless people, created and revolutionized entire industries, and said some remarkable things. We once put together the most beautiful Steve Jobs quotes. "Was Orwell right about 1984?" Steve Jobs asked this rhetorical question in 1983 at the keynote speech for the Apple IIc launch in San Francisco. The famous commercial followed, in which the smashing of the IBM empire is shown in dystopian images. "Your jaws will fall down" Jobs promised this in the New York Times in November 1989, referring to the first NeXT computer. The computer, which was extremely advanced for the time, was to be the world's first web server and start the world's first browser in the following year under the supervision of Tim Berners Lee. "If we make any mistake and IBM wins, I believe we'll be spending the next twenty years in the computing era.

Intel makes fun of Apple fans and gets applause for it

Image
Comparative advertising isn't new to Intel. But now it's getting "dirty", because the chip manufacturer grabs some Apple fans and is clearly fooling them. In the end, however, they even react positively and are anything but offended. How can this be? Since Intel caught a basket from Apple and was thrown in front of the door, the "ex" left no stone unturned to bring as many "children" as possible into the PC warehouse in the "custody battle". For the chip manufacturer, comparative advertising seems to be the right means - sometimes more, sometimes less appropriate. Intel is deceiving Apple fans in an experiment The latest prank can also be assigned to this category, but it arises more from the spirit of the "hidden camera". According to Intel, 12 real Apple fans were invited for a very special marketing experiment. Everyone found themselves in a room, not unlike an Apple Store, and were confronted with all sorts of suggestive

iPhone 13: Apple is generous, but only with a few buyers

Image
If you buy an iPhone 13, you only get a USB ‑ C to Lightning cable and no other accessories - worldwide. Really all over the world? No! A country in Europe populated by indomitable Gauls doesn't stop resisting and continues to get a little more from Apple. Apple made short work of it last year. If you buy a new iPhone, you will not receive a power adapter or the headphones that have been used up to now. Only a USB-C to Lightning cable can now be found in the packaging. This does not change with the iPhone 13 either, but there is one exception. Only in France: iPhone 13 with free headphones Anyone who buys an iPhone 13 in France will still receive the original, wired EarPods (Lightning variant) worth 19 euros free of charge (source: MacRumors). Even with the iPhone 12, Apple was forced to upgrade the scope of delivery of its cell phones accordingly. However, the manufacturer does not do this voluntarily, because according to the law he is obliged to do so. The background: The
