Earlier in October, a beta version of iOS 15.1 revealed that the Apple-owned Beats was working on a pair of brand new truly wireless headphones. The prerelease software even told us what they'd be called: Beats Fit Pro. And, sure enough, that all turned out to be true because the new headphones are official.
Back in September, Apple released the next major update to its most popular operating system. With iOS 15, the company didn't attempt to change the wheel or make any other massive alterations. It refined the experience, improved some aspects of it, and added plenty of new features for good measure. But has it been a smooth experience for you?
So, you're in the market for a new bag. Or maybe you're looking to buy a new bag for someone else. Either way, you're looking for some new gear and you've decided that a backpack is not the way to go. Which is where a messenger bag might be the better option for your laptop.
Earlier this week, the brand new, redesigned 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro went under the knife as the iFixit crew went through the teardown process. That was just a preview of what was to come, though, and now we finally have the full teardown.
M. Night Shyamalan, who executive produces the series Servant for Apple TV+, has a plan for the thriller. It appears that he might actually have the chance to pull it off, too. To get there, we'll need to wait for the third season premiere, which is slated to happen at the beginning of 2022.
Things are still not quite up to par, as far as availability and shipping is concerned with a range of products, but that doesn't stop companies from releasing new products. Apple, for instance, kept things pretty standard through the end of 2021, and, unsurprisingly, it still worked out pretty well for the company that continues to rake in money on a regular basis.
Rumors had been swirling for a bit that Facebook, the social networking giant, was planning to rebrand in a major way. Starting with its name. And, indeed, it turns out those rumors were right on the money because today the company has confirmed those plans.
We live in a world where, if you go to Apple's website right now and order a Polishing Cloth with the company's logo on it, you won't receive it for 10 to 12 weeks. That's mid-January of next year. But, before you make that purchase, what if we told you that you can't repair that cleaning accessory? Would that matter?
Apple is still in the process of transitioning away from Intel-made processors. It made another huge leap in the right direction with the launch of the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models. And while that process continues, third-party companies that build apps for Macs need to figure out whether or not they support that effort on their own. Dropbox, apparently, has made a decision.
Availability for services is important. It's how any service picks up customers. Which is why it's equally important for even a company like Apple to reach beyond its walled garden. And, indeed, Apple TV+ is available across devices and platforms, with one more big new addition in the works.
Earlier this year, Apple unveiled a suite of new features it packaged in something it called Expanded Protections for Children. There were three new features total, but, at the time, one of them raised a lot of concerns regarding a potential breakdown of privacy. Following a lot of backlash and commentary, Apple decided to delay the features -- but it looks like one of them is making a comeback.
Hot on the heels of releasing iOS 15.1 and iPadOS 15.1 to the public, Apple is already hard at work on the follow-up. As such, a period of beta testing is part of the process. Which means developers now get to try out iOS 15.2 and iPadOS 15.2 ahead of a public launch later this year.
