Macworld Sonny Dickson, a tech reviewer with a pretty good track record for iPhone design leaks, just posted an image to X (formerly Twitter) that shows the major differences in the iPhone 16 lineup. The image (above) shows what are almost certainly mockups of all four models: the 6.9- and 6.3-inch iPhone 16 Pros and the 6.7- and 6.1-inch iPhone 16. They look like iPhones. The non-Pro models have their cameras aligned vertically rather than diagonally. There’s a pink one. The main takeaway is that Apple will differentiate the Pro models with slightly larger screens, as has been rumored. It’s hard to say for sure, but in the image, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max appear to be slightly larger than the companion iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, but it’s hard to say for sure. Apple is sure to create some extra screen space by shrinking the bezels as well. He followed up the post with a closer image of the pink iPhone 16, which gives a better look at the cameras. Apple has shrunken the camera array on the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus to be a small oval rather than the large square from the previous generations. The cameras are also arranged vertically rather than diagonally. @SonnyDickson @SonnyDickson @SonnyDickson That’s really all there is to it. If accurate, this shows that Apple has made a slight change to the way the cameras are laid out on the iPhone 16 (non-Pro) models. It’s definitely just a minor tweak to recent iPhone designs—there’s no Pixel-style “camera bar” or cameras flush with the rear of the phone’s body or anything else that would make a meaningful difference to the design or use of the iPhone. But it would be the first visual change to the iPhone cameras in several years. But if you were hoping that Apple would overhaul the iPhone design this year, prepare yourself for disappointment. They still just look like iPhones. iPhone06:20 pmApple’s mammoth stock buybacks boost returns for investors

An anonymous reader shares a report: I paid a lot of money for the privilege of getting an Apple Vision Pro brand-new in February. All-in, with optical inserts and taxes, I financed a little over $3,900 for the 256GB version of the headset. A day or so ago, I made a mistake that I'm sure many early adopters are familiar with: I looked up how much it's been selling for on eBay. On Wednesday, a 1TB Vision Pro, complete with all the included gear, Apple's fluffy $200 travel case, $500 AppleCare Plus, and claimed to have been "worn maybe about an hour" sold for $3,200 after 21 bids. The listed shipping estimate was $20.30. Brand new, that combination is $5,007.03 on Apple's site for me. Another eBay listing, this one with my headset's configuration (but sans optical inserts) went for just $2,600 -- again with most, if not all, of the included accessories. Several other 256GB and 512GB models sold for around that amount this week. The story is no different over on Swappa, a popular reselling site among Apple users. Bloomberg News, over the weekend: In related news, employees at some Apple retail stores are now being asked to fill out surveys after giving Vision Pro demonstrations to potential buyers. Apple wants to know if they were able to close a sale and get any feedback from the would-be buyer. Apple also wants to ensure employees are following the 20-minute demo script. As I wrote last week, Vision Pro demand has dropped considerably at many Apple stores. One retail employee says they haven't seen one Vision Pro purchase in weeks and that the number of returns equaled the device's sales in the first month that it was available.

Samsung has reportedly had difficulties adapting its production line to the two-stack OLED needed for the new iPad Pro line, which is said to be the best OLED tablet panel on the market.Two 12.9-inch iPad Pro modelsThe forthcoming iPad launch on May 7, 2024, is expected to feature two models each of the iPad Pro and iPad Air, with the latter adopting larger screen sizes than before.According to a report on Monday afternoon by Ross Young of Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC), Samsung has been the major manufacturer of the 11.1-inch display in the iPad Pro, with LG making the 12.9-inch model. While the expectation is that the smaller-screen and so lower-cost 11.1-inch iPad Pro will sell more than its larger counterpart, Young says manufacturing has been behind schedule.
