Future iPhones may replace volume buttons with Action Buttons On the website of the U.S. patent office found another β€œrevolution” from Apple. The official patent documentation states that all three left iPhone buttons could be replaced with Action Buttons. Thus, the volume buttons will potentially get the opportunity to customize while retaining the usual function. The innovation doesn't end there. The paper claims that the Action Button could be used in other portable electronic devices. Specific examples are not given, but the vague wording suggests that customizable keys could debut in any compact Apple device from Mac to Watch. https://www.patentlyapple.com/2024/11/apples-action-button-patent-was-published-this-week-revealing-future-details-and-its-expansion-to-th.html

Wallace and Gromit became the face of the β€œFilmed on iPhone” campaign Aardman Studios' animation will grace the facade of London's Battersea Power Station. The video was shot on an iPhone 16 Pro Max telephoto lens. It is a six-minute Christmas video that will be shown until the holiday. The two towers of the power station have become the Christmas trees that decorate Wallace and Gromit. As you walk by, you can watch the cartoon and take selfies. And they didn't use any professional cameras. Just eight iPhones and a Dragonframe Tether frame-by-frame animation app. The shots were taken in 4K ProRAW and then spliced in 6K to make the final video look good on the towers. Apple details the process on a separate page. https://www.apple.com/uk/apple-christmas-trees/

The Information: iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max will get an aluminum frame The upcoming flagship iPhones that Apple will unveil next September will get an aluminum frame for the first time. This is reported by Wayne Ma of The Information. According to Mr. Ma's sources, the top half of the iPhone's back panel will get an aluminum rectangular camera protrusion made out of something other than 3D glass, as previously seen on all models starting with the iPhone 11. The bottom half will be glass for wireless charging to work. https://www.theinformation.com/articles/apples-thin-iphone-has-no-physical-sims-that-could-dampen-china-sales

M4 Mach graphics turned out to be more powerful than in NVIDIA RTX 4070 and 3080 Ti Blender Open Data has released the results of testing the graphics module of Apple's most powerful chip. M4 Mach scored an average score of 5208, slightly ahead of NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti and 4070 desktop solutions - 5185 and 5125 points respectively. This is a great result, considering that the Apple chip can deliver such power from the battery. Still, there is room for growth: the mobile RTX 4080 was just ahead of the M4 Mach with the result of 5312. At the same time, the gap between Apple's solution and RTX 4090 for notebooks amounted to 30% - the latter scored 6893 points. https://opendata.blender.org/benchmarks/query/?compute_type=OPTIX&compute_type=CUDA&compute_type=HIP&compute_type=METAL&compute_type=ONEAPI&group_by=device_name&blender_version=4.2.0

Ross Young: M4's MacBook Pro gets a quantum dot display Apple has applied quantum dots with a separate film on top of the LCD, which allows to improve the color reproduction of the new MacBook Pro and keep the proven technology of matrix manufacturing. This is the conclusion of analyst Ross Young. In terms of response speed LCD-display with a film on quantum dots is inferior to a full QD-OLED panel, but provides better brightness and contrast compared to previous IPS-matrixes. All MacBook Pro screens, including nano-textured models, have received the high-tech film. Rumor has it that the MacBook Pro will get a full OLED display in 2026 at the earliest. https://x.com/DSCCRoss/status/1857208745014776215

Apple's next innovation will be a smart home device The company will present the device in March. The product will be a standalone device without the need to connect an iPhone, will receive its own operating system and will be controlled by a touch-sensor and Siri. This is reported by Mark Gurman of Bloomberg. The tablet-like product, codenamed J490, has a 6-inch screen, a camera for FaceTime calls, and even a battery. The interface scales automatically as you get closer to the device. The insider describes the new operating system as something between watchOS and iOS on Standby. The familiar home screen with widgets is in place. Safari, Apple Music, and a notes app are pre-installed on the device, but there's no Appstore. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-12/apple-home-hub-detailed-apple-intelligence-homeos-square-ipad-like-design

Apple is selling a $450 book with the 100 best albums according to Apple Music In conjunction with publisher Assouline, the company has opened pre-orders for a limited edition compilation of the top 100 albums that were chosen by Apple Music editors this May. The cost of the book, which is higher than the iPhone SE 3, Apple is trying to justify the limited edition: only 1,500 copies will be produced. Each book comes in a translucent slipcase engraved with the Apple Music logo, the page edges are gold-plated, and a special number is hand-stamped inside and outside the edition so you won't forget its exclusivity. The 208-page compilation includes a brief description of each Top 100 album and cover artwork. https://eu.assouline.com/products/apple-music?ranMID=52938&ranEAID=TnL5HPStwNw&ranSiteID=TnL5HPStwNw-WFcpJ.k0XcObI4NRIKEbRA&country=GB

OLED displays in MacBook Air will have to wait even longer Apple has moved the release of the lightweight Air with OLED screens to 2028, - writes The Elec, citing sources in the supply chain of components. Previous insiders claimed that the new products will come out a year earlier. It is claimed that the company does not yet know how to solve two major problems: the high cost of OLED displays and the natural increase in the price of the Airs themselves after the installation of the new screen. Apple is waiting for the cost of OLED screens to come down when more manufacturers become available, but it looks like it's going to be a long wait. So far, only Samsung and LG are making screens of this type that meet the company's requirements. https://www.thelec.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=31036

The European Union will fine Apple β€˜for the first time’ for violating the Digital Markets Act The essence of the regulator's new claim: Apple did not allow third-party developers to leave links in the App Store that allow them to sell their applications more favourably. In this way, they bypass the shop's commission. According to antitrust regulators, this does not promote healthy competition. Foreign media call this fine β€˜the first’ (as it can be imposed until the end of November) under the current head of the European Commission Margrethe Vestager (someone decided to leave on a high note). Past fines have threatened to be levied only after March 2025. The regulator is still mulling over the exact amounts, as well as the timing of the β€˜first’ fine. This means that Apple can either comply with the EU's demand or appeal the penalty when it is imposed. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-05/apple-to-face-first-eu-fine-under-bloc-s-digital-markets-act?srnd=phx-technology

Apple will add its own Steam-like game shop to iOS The app will be integrated with a user's profile from Game Centre, and it will be possible to both buy games and view additional information on them. Judging by the description, the new shop will work similarly to Steam or PS Store. In one tab you can buy games from the App Store and Apple Arcade, in another - to see the selection of games from the editorial staff, in the third - tables of records, achievements and information about friends. Notifications about important game events and updates will be added (where else will you find out that Genshin has a new waifu). Among the potential features - integration of FaceTime and iMessage to communicate in the game app. Apple is also thinking about publishing an App Clips-based mini-game catalogue.

Apple has recognised a two-year lag in the AI industry Apple's internal research shows that ChatGPT is 25 per cent more accurate than Siri and can answer more questions,’ writes Mark Gurman. According to him, there's a perception within the company that Apple Intelligence is at least two years behind competitors' solutions. Despite this, Gurman believes the company can quickly level the gap, given the similar situation with the Maps app. He must be referring to the US domestic market, as outside of it, apps from local developers are much more capable. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2024-10-20/apple-s-latest-ipad-mini-highlights-ai-advantage-sonos-considers-new-headphones-m2hkz4mn?cmpid=BBD102024_POWERON&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&utm_term=241020&utm_campaign=poweron

Apple has released a special edition of the Beats Pill with Kim Kardashian Apart from the new Dark Gray and Light Gray colour schemes, the Beats Pill Kim Special Edition didn't receive any internal upgrades, so they sound like the regular Beats Pill 2024. The β€˜tablets’ come with a USB-C cable and a strap in a matching colourway. This is the third collaboration between the Kim and Beats brands, but it doesn't stand out from the rest. Prior to the Beats Pill, the companies' creative geniuses released the Studio Pro and Fit Pro headphones in Dune, Earth and Moon colours. β€˜Special Edition’ Beats Pill is already available on Apple's website for $150.

Apple's smart glasses and AirPods with cameras will be released in 2027 Apple seems to have realised how badly it screwed up Vision Pro and, in order not to waste billions in technology investment, is actively working on lightweight smart glasses,’ writes Mark Gurman. According to him, Apple's Meta* Ray-Ban analogue should be released in 2027. That same year, the company will introduce AirPods with cameras that never needed them. There's not much information about the new device: it will be glasses with screens, speakers and cameras that will analyse the environment using Visual Intelligence. Is Apple late in releasing actual devices? Very.
