News & Reviews:   Kuo

The reliable tipster on everything Apple, Ming-Chi Kuo has claimed that the company would be releasing a redesigned HomePod in the first half of 2024, which includes a 7-inch display. This update to the product would allegedly be part of Apple’s “revamped smart home strategy”.

Previously, we reported that Apple may be working on a more affordable ‘AirPods Lite’ to compete with budget wireless earbuds and now, more information has come out regarding this development. According to reliable tipster Ming-Chi Kuo, the alleged affordable AirPods will launch alongside a new AirPods Max as early as the second half of 2024.

Apple’s entry-level smartphone, the Apple iPhone SE may not be getting its 4th Generation anytime soon due to lower-than-expected demand for the device among consumers. This is according to the latest insight from reliable tipster Ming-Chi Kuo, who claimed that Apple is mulling cancelling the smartphone next year and postponing it to 2024.

After Apple confirmed that it will comply with the EU’s USB-C regulations, we may be seeing the port being standard across next year’s iPhone 15 series, instead of the Lightning port. However, it looks like not all of the upcoming iPhone’s USB-C ports would be equal, as Apple is likely to put higher-speed data transfer on the iPhone 15 Pro series.

The Apple iPhone 14 Series is expected for release next month and it may be significantly more expensive than previous iPhone models. In fact, according to reliable tipster on everything Apple Ming-Chi Kuo, the average selling price of all iPhone 14 models will have an approximately 15 per cent bump.
