🎧 The AirPods Max in the new colors are also identical to the older version, and the only difference is the USB-C port.

📱 Apple has patented a guest mode for the iPhone

📰 TheMacObserver reports that users will be able to hand over their iPhone to another person by putting it in “guest” mode so they don't have to worry about their sensitive data.

⚙️ The feature involves flexible customization of apps, photos, notes and other files that will be available in this mode. Also, the owner will be able to change access settings remotely by logging into his account from another iPhone or iPad.

📆 From the patent to the realization of the function can take a long time, so the innovation should not be expected in the near future. Meanwhile, the function of adding users on iPadOS is still expected.

📱 The rumored update to the iPhone SE is getting closer to production

🔜 It will probably be joined by the new iPad Air in early 2025. After the release of the iPhone 16, the rumor mill's attention now turns to the iPhone SE. The model that hasn't been updated since its March 2022 third-gen release is due an upgrade, which is believed to happen early in 2025.

📱 The model is likely to include a lot of changes: it could be based on the iPhone 14's design, the display could finally make the upgrade to OLED instead of LCD, with a 6.1-inch edge-to-edge screen expected. It may also use a newer processor like the A18, in order to run Apple Intelligence.

📲 An update to the 11-inch and 13-inch iPads Air are on the cards, albeit one involving "internal improvements." It's not clear what chips the iPad Air will use, but they say that new accessories will be inbound. This includes a new keyboard that may gain some elements from the updated iPad Pro Magic Keyboard.

🔜 The new M4-based Macs and iPad mini 7 will launch as early as November 1

🍎 Apple will introduce six new devices:

・14-inch MacBook Pro on the base M4
・MacBook Pro on the M4 Pro and M4 Max with 14- and 16-inch displays
・24-inch iMac on the M4
・The all-new Mac mini on the M4 and M4 Pro
・Updated iPad mini

📰 According to Bloomberg the devices will go on sale as early as November 1. This means that the presentation (if it takes place) will take place between October 19 and 22 (Apple usually holds presentations on Tuesdays, so October 19 can be expected).

🫥 It's also reported that Apple will continue to spread the device refresh cycle over a period of every few years to more models, as it already does with some iPads and the Apple Watch. Although right now Apple updates some Mac models even more frequently than once a year (for example, the MacBook Pro based on the M3 Pro/M3 Max came out just 9 months after the models based on the M2 Pro/M2 Max). The iPhone will remain one of the few devices that will continue to be updated annually.

📆 It may take Apple a longer lead time to develop new hardware, focusing on the software side, including introducing new chips for Apple Intelligence.
