In this week’s roundup of Apple news, we cover the upcoming iPhone 16 launch, final design leaks of the iPhone 16 Pro, iPad Mini preparations, new M4 MacBooks, Snapchat’s arrival on iPad, and the return of Ted Lasso.

Apple Confirms Next Event

Apple has announced its next event, Glowtime, which will take place on Monday, September 9th. This event is expected to see the official launch of the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max. The invite’s imagery has sparked speculation, with colors like blue, yellow, white, pink, and black hinting at the new iPhone designs.

iPhone 16 Pro Design Leaks

As the iPhone 16 Pro launch approaches, increased camera specs are generating excitement. The smaller iPhone 16 Pro will feature a 5x telephoto zoom lens, previously exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Additionally, a second 48-megapixel sensor will be introduced for the ultra-wide camera, offering improved 12-megapixel images.

iPad Mini Preparations

Rumors suggest that a new iPad Mini could be unveiled soon, given the dwindling stock of the current model. The seventh-generation iPad Mini is expected to include an A17 Pro or better chip, updated cameras, Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.3.

New M4 MacBooks

Developer logs have revealed four new Mac models, likely featuring base-level versions of the M4 chip. These models are expected to include a base MacBook Air 13, an uprated Air 13-inch, and an Air 15-inch, with 10-core CPUs and GPUs, and one lower-end version with an 8-core CPU and GPU.

Snapchat for iPad

Snapchat has finally released a dedicated app for iPadOS, allowing users to utilize the device’s full screen. Previously, iPad users had to run the iPhone version of the app, which was not optimized for the larger display.

Ted Lasso’s Return

Warner Bros. Television has picked up options on original cast members for a potential fourth season of Ted Lasso. Jason Sudeikis is believed to be involved as an executive producer, indicating that an official green light may be imminent.
