Earlier today, during the company's "California Streaming" event, Apple unveiled the newest members of its iPhone lineup: the iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 13. As you can imagine by the naming scheme, these are the direct successors to the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12. However, there are some noteworthy changes in the new handsets.
During its pre-taped September 24 "California Streaming" product reveal, Apple unveiled a sixth-generation iPad mini with a new design and features like the removal of the Home button, improved cameras, a power button with an embedded Touch ID sensor and more.
Of course, the new iPhone took the stage. The next generation of iPhone is here (so to speak), with Apple officially unveiling the newest smartphone in its lineup. Brilliant colors, a new design, and much more.
There have been so many rumors about the next Apple Watch, and now Apple is here to settle them. The company has just unveiled its newest smartwatch during its California Streaming event. Welcome the new Apple Watch Series 7.
Today is the big day. Apple is going "California Streaming" and taking us with them. And not just us! The company has some new products along for the ride as well.
There's a possibility that today's California Streaming event is, well, very streamlined. We know we'll see the iPhone 13 lineup debut later today, and the Apple Watch Series 7 is a safe bet as well. What's up in the air, though, is whether or not we'll see any new iPad models showcased today, or if we'll see the third-generation AirPods for that matter.
The latest round of Apple software updates brings fixes for vulnerabilities making possible recent zero-click attacks that bypassed Apple's BlastDoor security in Messages. iOS 14.8 includes security fixes for two bugs that have been actively exploited in the wild. Do yourself a big favor and install the latest updates to close this particularly dangerous attack vector.
Back in February of last year, Apple officially announced it had secured the streaming rights to a futuristic drama starring Mahershala Ali (Moonlight) and directed by Benjamin Cleary (Stutterer). It was described as a "genre-bending drama" at the time, but, unfortunately, there wasn't much else to go on. Certainly not a release date. But that's changing today.
If you've tried out Apple Fitness+, but haven't fallen in love with it despite the Apple Watch integration, how about another option? The online gym Tempo, which utilizes artificial intelligence to build a fitness program for users, has just announced it's one alternative if you're thinking about exploring a third-party option.
As of iOS 14.2 and iPadOS 14.2, you've been able to access music recognition through the Control Center overlay. Apple has announced that customers have used this Shazam-powered feature more than a billion times since those software updates dropped in November 2020.
Apple didn't do the traditional beta seeding for this release, but there were hints that Apple was working on a new software version of iOS ahead of the much more anticipated iOS 15. And, it turns out that is indeed the case.
Today, Apple has released iOS 14.8, iPadOS 14.8, watchOS 7.6.2, and macOS 11.6 Big Sur to the public. While the version number would suggest something big, that's not really going to be the case. This is meant to be the final version of iOS 14 released to the public, so it's not necessarily meant to add any major new features to the mix.
We learned back in June of this year that the second season of the hit drama series The Morning Show would make its premiere on Apple TV+ on September 17, 2021. It wasn't until August that we got our first look at what's coming next for everyone involved with the first official trailer. And now, a new featurette shows us who's new amongst the cast.
