Research has shown that the new Corona contact notification API, in which Apple and Google, two tech giants collaborated, was rarely used in the United States and did not help prevent the spread of infection. It seems that leaving it to the free will of each state and giving consideration to privacy has weakened its effectiveness, but it may be difficult to change people's behavior with smartphones alone in democracies.
iPhone 13 (tentative) announced on September 14th? Is the next Apple Watch 1mm larger? We will send you the latest Apple rumors together.
Rumors of high-end Mac mini launching "within a few months" with redesign and additional external ports
Rumor has it that the next Mac mini with the M1 chip-enhanced version of the M1X will not come out within 2021 and will be postponed to 2022 for "marketing reasons" (so that demand does not overlap with the M1X MacBook Pro). was. Immediately after that, it is reported that it will be announced again "within the next few months".
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the source of the rumors, is familiar with Apple's internal information. Gurman has previously stated that the M1X MacBook Pro will be available "in the coming months" and soon afterwards the M1X Mac mini will be announced.
According to Gurman, the M1X Mac mini is a high-end machine. Even after the launch of the M1 Mac mini, the Intel version of the Mac mini has been maintained as a high-end model for software development and video editing, but the M1X Mac mini will replace it.
The expectation that the high-end Mac mini will be "redesigned and have more external ports than the current model" has already been whispered since May. The outlook for external port configurations is specifically four USB-C / Thunderbolt 3 ports, two USB-A, Ethernet, and HDMI outputs. The power connector is also expected to be in the same magnetic MagSafe style as the 24-inch iMac.
Even after the release of this M1 X Mac mini, it is expected that the current M1 Mac mini will continue to exist as an inexpensive entry model. The next Mac mini is likely to be powerful, but the price may change the image of "Mac mini is easy to buy".
In-screen Touch ID is being tested on iPhone 13, but rumors that adoption will be postponed
"Apple was testing in-screen Touch ID (fingerprint authentication) for the next flagship iPhone, but it won't be adopted this year," Mark Gurman predicts.
In-screen Touch ID is a technology that is seen as a trump card that achieves both "masked biometrics" and full-screen design. The reason why Apple doesn't use it for the iPhone 13 is that Gurman says, "High-end iPhones are focusing on Face ID." In other words, although the iPhone 13 is used as a test machine, it is just research, and it is unlikely that Touch ID will be adopted in future flagships.
Then, is it possible to expect "biological authentication with masked" on the flagship iPhone (Apple Pay etc. can not be settled with "Unlock with Apple Watch" of iOS 14.5 or later)? The new Face ID is being tested in Apple. Rumors have been raised.
According to Jon Prosser, a famous leaker (who sends influential information about unreleased products of interest), the new Face ID can be unlocked even if you are wearing a mask or your glasses are cloudy. If you wear a mask and your glasses are cloudy, you should be able to hide about two-thirds of your face, but I'm wondering if that will keep you secure.
Apple Watch Series 7 (provisional), rumors that size will increase to 41 mm and 45 mm
A rumor has been reported from the Chinese SNS (Weibo) that "This year's Apple Watch is 41 mm and 45 mm", which is 1 mm larger than the conventional size. Source Uncle Pan has a reputation for being fairly accurate in past predictions (although the 3rd generation Apple Pencil was off).
Rumors have been reported several times that the next Apple Watch Series 7 will have a flat-edged design with a narrower bezel and a wider screen. If so, it's no wonder that the body size is a little larger.
Almost at the same time, Chinese leaker Duan Rui shared an image that looks like a leather loop band on the Apple Watch (also reprinted from another Weibo post). It is engraved with "45mm" instead of "44mm".

— DuanRui (@ duanrui1205) August 26, 2021It's likely that Apple Watch Series 7 won't add new health sensors, but it's rumored to make the processor smaller and increase battery capacity by the amount of free space. If the drive time for one charge is extended from the maximum of 18 hours so far to 24 hours or more, it will be easier to use for sleep tracking etc.
The next MacBook Pro, 14-inch and 16-inch, are rumored to have the same CPU. Is 14 inches quite expensive?
Until now, the MacBook Pro series had different processors depending on the screen size, but it is rumored that the next 14-inch and 16-inch will be the same.
According to proven leaker Dylan, "both MacBook Pros this fall will have the same chips and the same performance," and "it must be a win for those who choose a smaller size, but the 14-inch is better than the 13-inch. It will be much more expensive. " It has long been rumored that the new 14-inch will have the same body size as the current 13-inch by narrowing the bezel, but only the screen will be wider.
Dylan added that the 14-inch and 16-inch "both carry the same M1X." The fact that Macs belonging to different categories, rather than body sizes, have the same processor is already preceded by the M1 Mac (MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro and Mac mini) released at the end of 2020.
Indeed, the M1 Mac3 model is gaining popularity for its "affordable and high performance," and renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said the move from Intel CPUs to Apple silicon will reduce costs. With the introduction of the M1X-powered MacBook Pro and high-end Mac mini, the Mac's premium price may come back (with the same high performance).
Will the iPhone 13 (provisional) be released on September 17th?Rumor that the 3rd generation AirPods will be released on the 30th
iPhone 13 (tentative) is really "iPhone 13", rumors of an event announced on September 14
Although the iPhone 13 (tentative) this fall is expected to be announced in September, opinions are divided on specific dates. This week too, we received two such different predictions.
One is an image that seems to be a Chinese EC (electronic commerce) application reported by China Tech Media ITHhome, and all four models of iPhone 13 will be released on September 17th, followed by the 3rd generation AirPods on September 30th. However, IT Home has published incorrect screenshots and is not guaranteed to be credible.
The other is the outlook from the famous leaker Jon Prosser, "The event will be announced on September 14, reservations will start on the 17th, and it will be on sale at the store on the 24th." Prosser wasn't expecting a new product launch event on March 23 this year, but he was right with the 24-inch iMac specs and lots of color variations.
These two are in line with the forecast by major securities firm Wedbush that it will go on sale in the third week of September. It seems likely that the iPhone 13 announcement event will be released in mid-September and will be released in late September.
