This week Apple announced its much-anticipated news service, as well as a streaming service to rival Netflix, a games arcade and a credit card. Instead of the usual hype around physical product launches, Apple casually announced a new iMac, two new iPads and new AirPods as a warm up to Monday’s hype-filled launch of these new services. That alone is remarkable.
With 100+ titles at launch and cross-device support Apple’s game subscription service could be a force with which to be reckoned.
Apple’s Apple TV announcement was almost a disappointment, but then it went ahead and brought out the big guns by announcing Apple TV Channels and Apple TV+.
There’s a new subscription service in town… but this time it’s for the printed word.
Like Apple products and services? Well now it can be your bank, too… if you live in the US or Canada.
Apple has made a thing of quiet hardware announcements this week. First it was the iPad refresh that turned up unexpectedly, now we’ve also got some info on iMac upgrades.
In what seems to be a daily hardware update before next week’s major services announcement, Apple has revealed upgraded AirPods that include wireless charging and better battery life.
We’re a long way out from Apple’s annual iPhone reveal but that doesn’t mean that folks aren’t still (always) trying to puzzle what’s coming next from the company. The newest talk about town? Apple’s going to be hopping on the triple-camera bandwagon for the iPhone 11. And if it’s true, helped along with an apparent design leak, we’re not really sold on the design. It doesn’t feel like something Apple would do, you know?
A week ahead of Apple’s services-focused announcement event, Apple has launched two new iPads — the satisfyingly small 7.9in iPad mini, and a 10.5in Pad Air.
“It’s show time” seems to suggest that we’re looking at something television-related. Like a brand new video streaming service, perhaps? Certainly it’s more likely than a movie or theatre production announcement, which would be more likely to use the world ‘showtime’ on the announcement. In our completely unscientific assessment of the invitation (above), that is.
