But potential buyers could find themselves paying a lot of money and not getting the one thing they really want: the algorithm. Real-estate billionaire Frank McCourt and former Treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin are among those who have confirmed they are planning bids for the app … more…

Think the new iPads are boring? Wait until you see the iPhone 16
Macworld Welcome to our weekly Apple Breakfast column, which includes all the Apple news you missed last week in a handy bite-sized roundup. We call it Apple Breakfast because we think it goes great with a Monday morning cup of coffee or tea, but it’s cool if you want to give it a read during lunch or dinner hours too. A long wait, no surprises The problem with big build-ups is they create big expectations. Apple kept us waiting longer than ever before for its latest batch of iPads. It went an entire calendar year with no updates, for the first time in the product’s history, and then delayed the announcement for a few extra months because of production problems. By the time the invitations dropped into our inboxes, Apple obsessives were ready for something huge to justify the long wait and the dedicated event… with the inevitable result that the new iPad Air and Pro ended up as a bit of anticlimactic. The M2 iPad Air is a workmanlike refresh that pretty much nobody should buy. And while the M4 iPad Pro is a more ambitious hardware upgrade, featuring a Castlevania-style double jump on the processor and an exceptionally skinny chassis, most reviewers agree that Apple hasn’t changed what needed to be improved: iPadOS. (Perhaps the company will have good news for us on that front at WWDC next month.) Even now, this reporter’s advice to almost all potential buyers would be to ignore the new models and buy the 10th-gen iPad from 2022, which just got a handy price cut and is also, as a bonus, available in a stunning pink. Then again, the iPad has been Apple’s problem child for a while now. Rather unhelpfully, tablet owners have split into two camps: those who use their iPads to check emails on the sofa and therefore have incredibly low requirements; and creative professionals who use them to edit 8K video and have incredibly high requirements. With the former rarely if ever bothering to replace their devices and the latter comprising a very niche group, neither represents a healthy revenue stream. And until society at large changes its approach to the tablet form factor, it’s hard to imagine that even if Let Loose was the most exciting and successful iPad launch in history–one, for example, that did not feature an ad that annoyed a good proportion of the people who watched it–would have moved the dial very far in terms of unit sales. The fact is, however, that most of Apple’s product lines appear to be running out of inspiration at roughly the same time. And if you found Let Loose uninspiring, you should probably get used to it. The iPhone 16, for example, is nailed on to be the focal point of Apple’s year, at least in terms of commercial importance. But what can we expect from this lodestar device? Based on the rumor mill we’re getting new processors (obviously), a fractionally larger screen, a slight change to the way the rear cameras are arranged and improved low-light performance, a new Capture button and potentially solid-state buttons elsewhere, and maybe Wi-Fi 7. None of which are exactly radical… and bear in mind that rumors are far more likely to overstate the magnitude of imminent upgrades than to understate them. I don’t mean this, by the way, as yet another criticism of Apple’s supposed lack of innovation; it’s not like other smartphone manufacturers are blowing us away either. I simply think that many of the consumer devices that have underpinned Apple’s success across the past decade or so–laptops, tablets, smartphones, smartwatches–are simultaneously hitting a point where most of the significant improvements have already been made and we’re left with iterative tweaks. The first few iPhone releases were exciting precisely because the devices were so comparatively poor, from screen legibility to camera performance: there were problems to solve and low-hanging fruit to pluck. The iPhone 15 is too good a phone for the iPhone 16 to be anything other than a pale retread. Which is a bad thing for Apple’s accountants, but good for the rest of us. This isn’t to say either that there are no items of interest rolling down Apple’s conveyor belt; it’s just that the commercially significant stuff, almost by its nature, lends itself to cautious iteration. Whereas Vision Pro is a fascinating and gloriously flawed product that will undergo a series of massive improvements in subsequent generations. And Apple’s first steps into the world of AI, also expected to be announced at WWDC (if only in part, so key elements can be held back for the iPhone 16 launch), should see similar missteps and recoveries that we can all enjoy. There’s still fun to be had. You just need to look in the right places. Foundry Foundry Foundry Trending: Top stories The iPad Air only exists to sell other iPads. Apple shouldn’t have apologized for its controversial iPad Pro ‘Crush’ ad. Apple’s rare iPad misstep is a symptom of a much larger problem. Worried about another iPad Pro Bendgate?

Think Tank Retrospective EDC Backpack review: Lots of style and space
Macworld At a glanceExpert's Rating ProsRobust material and optimum paddingExcellent workmanshipWell-thought-out compartmentsIncludes rain coverConsOnly in greenOur VerdictWith the Retrospective EDC Backpack, Think Tank has brought an all-round successful laptop backpack onto the market. The material is robust, the workmanship is excellent and its many different compartments make it easy to keep everything organized. The Retrospective EDC Backpack is one of the best laptop backpacks we’ve tested. Price When Reviewed$239.75 Best Prices Today: Think Tank Retrospective EDC Backpack Retailer Price $203.79 View Deal $239.75 View Deal Think Tank $240 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket The first thing that stands out about The Think Tank Retrospective EDC Backpack is the material used on the backpack. The stone-washed canvas made from 100 percent cotton looks stylish and has a durable repellent coating. This coating is good at keeping out a short rain shower, and a proper rain cover is included to keep out water during a downpour. The two-color twill lining and genuine leather applications match the style. As befits a backpack manufacturer, great attention has also been paid to the carrying system. The padded back panel is just as comfortable as the shoulder straps. This means that even heavy loads can be carried home in comfort. The Retrospective EDC has a storage capacity of 19 liters and weighs just one kilogram. Retrospective EDC Backpack: Compartments galore A USB-C adapter here, a charging cable or an SSD there–in a mobile office, many small items accumulate that need to be adequately stored. The more compartments a backpack has, the better it is as an organizer and this is where the Retrospective EDC Backpack scores highly. I counted 15 different-sized compartments alone–the most I’ve counted in a backpack. These compartments range from small with a zip for USB-C sticks, to compact for keys, to large for books and folders. The many compartments are spread over three levels. At the back is the large, lined with soft fabric laptop compartment big enough for a 16-inch Macbook Pro. Next comes the large main compartment, with additional compartments for an iPad and A4 notebooks, for example. But even a pair of shoes with a water bottle fit inside. Then comes a slim compartment with lots of smaller pockets for all your device accessories. Lastly, there is a compartment on the front that fits a bunch of keys or an iPhone, among other things. It is lined with soft fabric and can be closed with a zip. All compartments are covered by a lid that serves as visual and weather protection for the zips. The lid is held in place with strong magnets. The last compartment is located on the back and is theft-protected and is particularly suitable for your iPhone or ID documents. The eyelets on the robust YKK zips also serve to protect against theft. In addition to the very comfortable carrying straps, there are three handles for transport, on the left and right sides and at the top. There is also a loop for the trolley handle. The otherwise excellent Retrospective EDC Backpack also has two disadvantages: it is only available in green and is very expensive. After all, quality has its price. Should you buy the Think Tank Retrospective EDC Backpack? If you have a wish list for a laptop backpack, you could tick many boxes with the Retrospective EDC Backpack. It’s very comfortable to carry and the cotton material is robust and perfectly finished. The great thing is not the sheer number of compartments, but that they are so varied and therefore suitable for many situations. The padding for the MacBook is also impressive and your precious item also has its place in a separate compartment. This article originally appeared on Macwelt and was translated by Roman Loyola.

Don't get too excited about new iPhone trade-in bonuses from Apple
Apple apparently must not want to clear out stocks before the iPhone 16 launches too badly, as the trade-in bonuses it has started offering can be beaten easily by the carriers.The new iPhone 13 ProAs rumored, Apple did in fact increase trade-in values on older iPhones on Monday. Contrary to that report, though, you can apply the trade-in credit to any available iPhone, and not just the iPhone 15.The bonuses are very low for the most part. The maximum increase is a $30 increase on the iPhone 13 mini to $300. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums

WWDC 2024: Everything you need to know
Macworld Of the big Apple events of the year, WWDC is the most reliable: In each of the past 17 Junes, like clockwork, Apple has held a big get-together for its developer partners and announced a raft of important software updates. The September iPhone launch and the March/April spring event (which didn’t happen in 2023) seem almost unpredictable by comparison. In this article, we list the major announcements (and some of the smaller titbits) you can expect to hear about at WWDC 2024. Some of these–updates to the five big Apple operating systems, most obviously–are as predictable as the timing of the event. But we reckon Apple will spring a few surprises this year. Apple has announced that WWDC24 will be held from June 10-14. When is WWDC 2024? Apple will kick off WWDC24 with a keynote at 10am Pacific Time on June 10, and the event for developers continues through June 14. Here are the dates from the past few years: WWDC 2023: June 5-9 WWDC 2022: June 6-10 WWDC 2021: June 7-11 WWDC 2020: June 22-26 WWDC 2019: June 3-7 WWDC 2018: June 4-8 What time does WWDC 2024 start? The keynote event will start at 10 a.m. in California. If you are wondering what time will the WWDC keynote start where you are it translates to: US: at 10 a.m. (PDT), 11 a.m. (MDT), noon (CDT), 1 p.m. (EDT) Canada: at 2 p.m. (ADT) UK: at 6 p.m. (BST) Europe: at 7 p.m. (CEST) India: at 10.30 p.m. (IST) Singapore and China: next day at 1 a.m. Japan: next day at 2 a.m. (JST) Australia: next day at 1 a.m. (AWST), 2.30 a.m. (ACST), 3 a.m. (AEST) New Zealand: next day at 5 a.m. (NZST) How to watch WWDC 2024 When WWDC starts Apple will live stream the opening keynote on its website and elsewhere, including on YouTube and on the Apple TV app. This means you’ll be able to watch the presentation on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and even PC. Here is the WWDC keynote video from 2023: What will Apple announce at WWDC 2024? WWDC stands for the Worldwide Developers Conference and is dedicated to the third-party software and hardware developers that create apps and accessories for Apple’s platforms: iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and now Vision Pro. If you are a developer we have more information about getting an invite below. While devs are at the heart of the event, it’s also a press event that Apple uses to announce its software plans and potentially some new Macs and other products to the world. Read on to find out what we expect to see Apple unveil at the event, from software and hardware to some entirely new products. Apple Apple Apple WWDC 2024: Software releases WWDC is all about the software, so we can be certain that Apple will reveal details of its upcoming operating system updates for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, HomePod, and Apple Watch. Those updates will then be issued to developers as a beta to test, and then a few weeks later a public beta will start. Eventually, the new software will be available for everyone to download in the fall (usually September for iOS/iPadOS/watchOS and October for macOS, although in 2023 macOS Sonoma arrived in September). Here’s what to expect: iOS 18 The headliner of the event simply because of the sheer number of iPhone owners across the planet. If you’ve got an iPhone made within the past five years, you’ll likely be able to install the new version of iOS when it’s released in the fall of 2024. The rumors we’ve heard about iOS 18 so far indicate that it could be one of the biggest iOS update ever. You can expect AI-specific features, including Generative-AI updates to Siri, Pages, Numbers and Keynote. RCS support is also said to be coming to iPhones in that time frame. But before then, there’s a whole beta-testing cycle to get through. iOS 18 will be announced at WWDC 2024, then released as a developer beta (for registered app developers only) almost immediately after the keynote. Developers will then be able to install the iOS beta and a few weeks later a public beta version will be made available for all users who want to try the new features. Our advice is to be cautious and prepared for serious flaws with the beta software–it might even brick your device. Over the course of the next few months, the developer and public betas will go through a testing process where features will be tweaked, changed, fixed, and updated until we reach the finished iOS 18.0 public release, most likely in September. Read all the rumors and our hopes for iOS 18 in our iOS 18 guide. iPadOS 18 The accompanying update for iPad owners, iPadOS 18 is likely to incorporate most of the new features of iOS 18, but adapted to a larger-screen interface. When Apple’s two mobile operating systems split in 2019 they were similar in most respects, but the iPad version is heading steadily into its own realm. In 2022, Apple released iPad OS 16 a month after iOS 16, so it’s possible that the two versions don’t arrive at the same time. macOS 15 What’s Apple got in store for its follow-up to macOS Sonoma? We’ll find out at WWDC 2024. This version will be numbered macOS 15, but what is less predictable is the California landmark Apple will name the version after. So far we’ve had: Mavericks, Yosemite, El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave, Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura and Sonoma. Based on the trademarks Apple has applied for, macOS Rincon or Skyline could be likely. We’ll share all the rumors and our hopes for macOS 15 in our macOS 15 guide. visionOS 2 Now that the Vision Pro is on sale you can expect to hear about new software features coming to the device at WWDC. Apple is likely to have things to say about new apps being made for the device as well as third-party software that is being created for Vision Pro. watchOS 11 The new operating system for the Apple Watch will be revealed at WWDC 2024. This is more of a niche than the iPhone, iPad, and Mac updates discussed above but could bring more health and fitness features to Apple Watch owners around the world. Expect AT to have an impact here as well. tvOS 18 The lowest-profile of the big Apple operating systems, tvOS is the platform that runs on the Apple TV. What will we get this year? You’ll find out at WWDC. HomePod software version 18 Apple is also likely to update the software on the HomePod and HomePod mini alongside the other operating systems. In 2022 Apple introduced HomePod Software Version 16 which didn’t bring a lot of new features at the time, but a later update: HomePod Software Version 16.3 brought temperature and humidity sensing to the HomePod mini and more. We may hear more about Apple’s plans for the HomePod during the WWDC event–especially as Apple is rumored to planning big changes to the HomePod. Other software You can also expect Apple to update its developer-focused apps, like Swift, Xcode and TestFlight. Apple displayed this special Swift logo on its WWDC 2023 website. Apple displayed this special Swift logo on its WWDC 2023 website.Apple Apple displayed this special Swift logo on its WWDC 2023 website.Apple Apple WWDC 2024: Hardware releases WWDC tends to be a software-focused event, but Apple has often found time during its WWDC keynotes to launch hardware products too. The first few iPhone revisions—iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, and iPhone 4S—were all released at WWDC, and the HomePod had its unveiling at the event in 2017 as well. However, the event has focused on Mac releases in recent years. Apple unveiled the iMac Pro in 2017 alongside updates to the iMac, MacBook, and MacBook Pro, and announced a new Mac Pro and the Pro Display XDR in June 2019. At WWDC 2020, Apple announced the transition from Intel to Apple silicon, and WWDC 2022 saw Apple launch the M2 chip in the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. WWDC 2023 saw Apple introduce the Vision Pro, 15-inch MacBook Air, and the Mac Studio and Mac Pro with M2 Ultra chip. What’s in the hardware pipeline for Apple right now? There are plenty of WWDC rumors, but what’s really coming? Here’s what we hope to see: Vision Pro The Vision Pro launched in the U.S. in February, but it’s still not available elsewhere in the world. We expect Apple to announce availability for the U.K., Europe, Canada and Australia at WWDC in June. Frankly, if Apple doesn’t start selling the device outside the U.S. soon, it is going to look like a flop. Read more here: Apple Vision Pro: Everything you need to know. New Macs We already have M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max, so updates to the Mac mini and Mac Studio are long over due. Expect the M3 Ultra to arrive at this event. Mac Pro Over the years, including in 2023, new Mac Pro models have launched at WWDC and this year could be no different. We expect to see the Mac Pro gain the M3 Ultra processor at WWDC in June. Read what we know about the 2024 Mac Pro. Mac Studio If we see the M3 Ultra in the Mac Pro we will also see it in the Mac Studio. The Mac Studio will also get an M3 Max option. Read more here: Mac Studio M3 Max and Ultra rumors. Mac mini Now that the iMac and MacBook Air have an M3 chip, and the MacBook Pro an M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max chip, it is surely only a matter of time before those same chips make their way into the Mac mini. Read our new Mac mini rumors. iMac For some time there have been rumors that the iMac Pro will make a return, in the form of a M3 Pro and possibly M3 Max version of Apple’s all-in-one. This could make an appearance at WWDC 2024, but rumors do seem to suggest we could be waiting a little longer for this larger iMac. Read the rumors about Apple’s plans for the iMac Pro. How to attend WWDC If you want to attend the WWDC Keynote in person you need to be prepared to enter a lottery and apply for a ticket alongside other developers. There is a lot of competition for those tickets, which are randomly selected from those to apply and aren’t transferable. The good news is that tickets are free. The bad news is they have already been allocated for 2024. Apple invites developers to participate in a series of classes, workshops, and sessions to learn about the system-wide changes coming to the major software platforms in the coming year so they can update their apps. Some lucky developers even get to watch the event live in person. To be in with a chance of attending WWDC 2024 you needed to Request to attend on the Apple Developer website. The deadline to request to attend the event has now passed though. It was open to the following: Current Apple Developer Program members. Apple Entrepreneur Camp alumni. Swift Student Challenge winners – 2024 challenge applicants will be included in a separate random selection process for winners (in early May 2023 Apple began alerting the lucky few of their status as winners). Current Apple Developer Enterprise Program members. The lucky applicants were notified of their success in getting a ticket at the beginning of April 2024. You can find out more about how to get tickets to WWDC in our FAQ. WWDC keynote tickets have been free and randomly distributed for the past few years, but it previously cost $1,599 for developers to attend and those tickets sold out very quickly. Even without a ticket, all registered Apple developers get online access to session videos, slides, and sample code throughout the week. Apple will share additional conference information in advance of WWDC24 through the Apple Developer app. Further reading We’ll update this article regularly in the run-up to WWDC, so check back to see the latest news.
