Week 23 Review: Apple brings iOS 16, M2 chip, new MacBook Air

This week was Apple’s WWDC Developer Conference and we had a packed event. Traditionally, Apple showed new versions of its smartphone, tablet, computer and smartwatch platforms.

It all started with iOS. We didn’t receive a permanent display ad, meaning Apple keeps it as the exclusive iPhone 14 Pro for this fall. We received a great review of the lock screen with the option to change the date and time images, as well as move the notifications at the bottom, making it easier to access and cleaning things up. Notifications got smarter.

Apple also introduced the M2, its second-generation ARM-based chipset. This is the reference model that will power Apple’s entry-level machines, such as the new MacBook Air and the 13-inch MacBook Pro, which got the processor as an upgrade.

M2 is 18% faster in processing and 35% faster in graphics, all with the same 5 nm process and low power consumption. The M2 has an 8-core CPU and a GPU of up to 10 cores.

The new MacBook Air provides an updated design that finally removes the wedge shape introduced by the original Air in 2008 and replaces it with a new, flatter look. The new Air weighs 1.22 kg, has a 13.6-inch 16:10 screen of 500 nights, an M2 processor and starts with 8 GB of unified memory and 256 GB of storage for $ 1,199 / € 1,499.

The Pixel 6a broke the cover once again, this time through a listing on Facebook Marketplace. The list is complete with pictures of the phone.

We now have a full review of the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra, the phone with a really invisible sub-screen camera, a unique 35mm main camera, good battery life and outstanding design.

This will be done in week 23. See you next time!

Notifications, messages, wallet, maps, news, and CarPlay have been updated.

The new MacBook Air supports MagSafe charging and up to 24GB of unified memory.

Three 64 MP cameras on the back and a massive 6.8-inch AMOLED are very promising.

The device is expected to go on sale from July 28.

Could this be the long-rumored flagship phone?

It is based on a more advanced 5 nm process and includes two additional GPU cores.

The JR510 SoC inside the C40 is said to offer Snapdragon 450 / Helio G35 performance.

The company is still playing with the details, but expect more details on its first smartphone soon.

The iPadOS 16 also drops some very old devices, such as the 2014 iPad Air 2. WatchOS 9 requires iOS 16, so this may cause some issues if you have an old phone.

It is rumored to be a renamed Redmi Note 11T Pro announced last month in China.

Neo 3T carries a Snapdragon 870 at the head along with a fast charging of 80 W and a 5,000 mAh battery.

The Watch 5 is expected in three sizes.

There are also enhancements to the built-in Mail app, as well as passwords to replace passwords in Safari.

A phone suitable for a Shinobi warrior.

The TUV certification of the device reveals the charging adapter of the phone.

It is rumored to be a version of the Redmi K40S.

The device will carry the iconic red Leica logo.

The smartphone debuts in India for INR 17,499 or about $ 210 / € 225.

It will be part of the company’s Note 12 line.

A fairly competitive mid-range offering.

It has a better camera than the Redmi, but the rest should be the same.

The European Parliament and Council negotiators reached an interim agreement.

The SM8550 chip will supposedly feature a mix of new cores (Cortex-X3 and A720) and old cores (A710 and A510).

Both phones will be available soon in Brazil.
