This week on the AppleInsider Podcast, how Apple leaks actually work, further rumors of the 12.9-inch iPad Pro in an April occasion, and it is time to say goodbye to the unique HomePod.
After a number of sources claimed Apple would maintain an occasion on March 23, no occasion invites have been issued in time and distinguished leakers similar to Jon Prosser admitted they’d been mistaken. Prosser now claims there shall be an April Apple occasion to announce the brand new iPad Pro, which might be the primary time in 10 years Apple has held an occasion in April.
Bloomberg added that the forthcoming iPad Professional fashions shall be powered by a brand new A-series chip that may present efficiency on-par with the M1. In addition they declare that mini-LED expertise will come to the 12.9-inch iPad Pro and the lineup might introduce new inner applied sciences similar to Thunderbolt connectivity.
That is all based mostly on leaks and trade sources, and understanding what to present credence to has turn out to be a ability. We speak about the entire tradition of leaks round Apple information, and in addition what the method appears to be like like behind the scenes.
Apple did not leak that it’s discontinuing the unique HomePod in favor of the extra standard HomePod mini, it simply got here out and stated it. In an official statement Apple stated, “We’re focusing our efforts on HomePod mini” happening to say the mini has “been a success since its debut final fall”.
The unique HomePod’s pricing of $350 and its area of interest enchantment more than likely contributed to restricted recognition. However with no high-quality speaker, its demise leaves a niche within the Apple ecosystem once we take into account sound high quality, HomeKit, Shortcuts, and Siri. We focus on the opportunity of Apple introducing one other high-end speaker sooner or later or whether or not HomePod was really the final of its variety.
Then Intel has launched a collection of adverts with former “I am a Mac” actor Justin Lengthy selling Home windows computer systems. Whereas a few of these 30-second movies maintain some fact, the approaching launch of Apple Silicon Macs and rumored iMac refresh would render many of those adverts out of date.
On the finish of the present we ask listeners for steerage on iPad storage points when producing movies in iMovie. Given restricted storage on iPad, we search for methods to retrieve an iMovie challenge with out deleting the supply movies.
