Despite the AR/VR headset not making an appearance at the WWDC22, which the rumours are saying, there is still some pretty exciting stuff for us to anticipate from the event. Today, AR evangelist Robert Scoble brings the news of Apple introducing a new user-centric web search engine similar to Google, and it's something we've never expected.

Apple is reportedly shifting the production of some of its iPad lineup from China to Vietnam in order to soften the blow of supply disruptions in China caused by the country’s Covid-19 lockdowns. This move follows a similar move by the tech giant who previously shifted a chunk of its iPhone’s production to India.

Apple's 2022 WWDC event is happening next week. Earlier rumours suggested that it might be where the company will announce its first AR/VR headset due to the source code of the 'realityOS' gotten spotted. However, it's not the case anymore, as many point out that the tech giant will only reveal the machine in 2023.

If you've been following the iPhone rumours, you may have come across reports stating that the standard iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max would feature last year's A15 Bionic chip, while the Pro variants would be getting the new one. However, the A16 Bionic might not be a huge upgrade, as it's said to be based on the same 5nm process.

The upcoming iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max may feature LTPO panels capable of dropping to as low as 1Hz, hence paving the way for always-on display elements. This is according to tech insider and display analyst Ross Young who is ‘expecting’ for Apple to make such a move with the upcoming iPhone Pro lineup.

After this incident, display manufacturer BOE might have ruined its opportunities with Apple. According to the latest report, BOE has gotten caught by the iPhone maker as it quietly lowered the specs on the iPhone displays it made.

Apple not using the USB-C port has been an issue for the European Committee. Recently, the law that forces every smartphone manufacturer to adopt USB-C ports for devices sold in the region has gained overwhelming support. Therefore, it might be one of the reasons for this new report to appear, saying Apple will eventually ditch the Lightning port for iPhone 15 in 2023.

Apple might be really planning to launch a foldable device after all. The latest information has come claiming that the tech giant has started developing thinner OLED panels that could be used for foldable displays in the future.

Apple might launch the AirPods Pro 2 by this year. However, reputable analyst Mark Gurman claims that it will not be the only new gadget the company will present, as AirPods Max might also get its upgrade after a considerably long time.
