Below, we recap iOS 19 rumors so far.
Redesigned Camera App

Apple is expected to embrace a new camera system design for some models in its upcoming iPhone 17 series, and the latest purported CAD images don't deviate from what we have been hearing lately about Apple's new lineup. If you do not like the sound of an iPhone with a Google Pixel-style camera bar, look away now.

iOS 18.4 was supposed to bring new Apple Intelligence Siri features, but Apple ended up needing to pull those capabilities from the update to continue testing. There are fewer new Apple Intelligence additions now, but there are still some new features that will make the update worth installing when it comes out in April.

Apple has offered a reason why the iPhone 16e doesn't include MagSafe, one of the more notable omissions from its latest entry-level smartphone.
According to Apple representatives who spoke to Daring Fireball's John Gruber, MagSafe is not included in the iPhone 16e because "most people in the iPhone 16e's target audience exclusively charge their phones by plugging them into a charging...
With the iPhone 16e now in the hands of customers, Apple reportedly plans to move on to its next product announcement in the coming days.
Apple plans to announce new MacBook Air models with the M4 chip "as early as this week," according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
"I expect the M4 MacBook Air to be introduced as early as this week," said Gurman, in a post shared on X today. "Inventory has ...

Throughout the 2000s and 2010s, Apple offered a line of Wi-Fi routers that it referred to as AirPort base stations. There was a standard AirPort Express, a higher-end AirPort Extreme with more advanced networking features, and an AirPort Time Capsule that doubled as an external storage drive for backing up a Mac with Time Machine.
Apple discontinued the AirPort line in 2018, but the company...

iPhone 16e reviews are now out, and Apple's custom-designed C1 modem has been put to the test. The results so far are quite surprising, as the C1's speeds are not as slow compared to Qualcomm modems as originally expected.
While the C1 does not support ultra-fast mmWave 5G in the U.S., it appears to offer comparable 5G performance to Qualcomm's Snapdragon X71 modem found in the iPhone 16,...

According to a post on X today from a leaker known as Kosutami, Apple plans to launch AirPods Pro 3 in May or June this year.
The leaker also claimed that an AirTag 2 will launch around the same time.
Kosutami is best known as a collector of prototype Apple hardware, but they have occasionally shared accurate information about Apple's future product plans. For example, they accurately...
They can’t even give those FineWoven cases away…lol
I think they would struggle to pay people to take them. I'm really surprised they got through Apples testing... unless they just thought people would accept this.
Ive noticed this on a few of their accessories too... the white plastics scratch up like crazy (see AirPods charge cases etc).
There are much better plastic finishes they could use.
The best prices on Apple stuff, with the exception of their refurbished store... is almost always from other retailers.
Apple probably wants to try to preserve its image by avoiding too much "manufacturer discounting" which can cheapen a brand. They leave that to the retailers where discounts are more common/expected in general.
Apple have never discounted products in store... they give away vouchers and have student pricing... but nothing more.
Over the years they have but it's rare. For example, the original iPhone was discounted $200 less than three months after launch. Apple also routinely lowers retail prices of previous generation models which could be considered a discount but, again, traditional sales and discounts are still rare. Gift cards and/or limited time trade-in bonuses is the approach Apple typically takes for "shopping events" like Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
I don't think certain discounts 'cheapen' a brand. I think a decent thing they could do is temporally lower a devices price when an update is imminent. Although the device is fine, when a consumer buys a device at full price and the update is available the next day... that can hit customer loyalty more than cheapening the brand.
Other companies have discounts.. and Ive never thought that would cheapen their brand.
But I think butterfly keyboards and the like certainly 'damage' the brand, absolutely.
Too much discounting can often be viewed as "cheapening" a consumer goods brand especially when that brand is considered premium, luxury, upscale, etc.
