News & Reviews:   Mark Gurman

Last week, we reported that some analysts think Apple may put on a monthly fee for the full Apple Intelligence experience that is coming soon. We won't be surprised if that happens but according to Mark Gurman, he's saying otherwise.

There are still some more months to go for the annual Apple Event to see the next-gen iPhones. Besides that, the next iOS 18 will also be launched alongside, and many reports have claimed that it will feature several AI functions. According to Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, here are the things that we can look forward to. 

Apple may do away with an October event this year due to the lack of new products to launch during the timeframe. Instead, the devices that are touted for launch next month such as the new iPad Air may just be announced via a press release and website update.

Apple is finally ready to unveil its mixed-reality headset later this year, and has promised all kinds of features to entice Apple fans. Details of the device have been scarce, but we do have some updates about the charging system.

Apple is reportedly refreshing its iMac lineup later this year with its next-generation Apple Silicon processor, the M3. This is according to the reliable tipster on everything Apple, Mark Gurman.

Apple has long been rumoured to be working on an AR/VR or mixed-reality headset, though it looks like we may not be seeing it as early as first thought. According to reliable tipster Ming-Chi Kuo, the tech giant is further delaying the headset after facing some software issues.

Apple’s rumoured iPhone hardware subscription service is reportedly facing further delays together with other financial services that the company are allegedly developing. According to reliable tipster Mark Gurman, the slow progress and “missed deadlines” are due to “engineering and technical setbacks”.

Reliable tipster on everything Apple, Mark Gurman has claimed that the tech giant would not be releasing any Mac Studio in the near future. This is because Apple is putting its focus on the first Mac Pro with Apple Silicon instead.

Apple may be launching a new top-of-the-line tier of the iPhone next year which would be its most expensive yet. Dubbed the iPhone ‘Ultra’, it could debut with the iPhone 16 series and maybe a tier above the Pro Max variant instead of replacing it as previously rumoured.

Previously, we reported on reliable tipster Ming-Chi Kuo’s claim that Apple will release a foldable iPad with a carbon fibre kickstand in 2024. However, Kuo may have missed the mark on this prediction as other tech insiders have since denied hearing anything on the matter.
