Watan: Apple is planning to launch a new screen that contains a silicon chip of its own production, similar to the Studio Display, which contains the A13 chip. According to a report from Bloomberg Agency, that integrating the chip into the screen will make it able to work independently of Mac personal computers, which allows it to operate as a smart screen when the computer is turned off. Some rumors have spread regarding Apple’s plans to launch new screens for some time, including that the American technology giant may be working on a 27-inch mini-LED screen, and a new, expensive version of the Apple Pro Display XDR screen. . Reports stated that the screen may support the ability to call the smart assistant “Siri” embedded in the displays themselves. It is believed that the capabilities of the new smart screens are very similar to the Standby feature that will be released in iOS 17 later this year. Standby mode allows iOS smartphones to act as smart displays when plugged in and placed horizontally. This feature is partly similar to alarm clocks, with the screen dimming to a dull red color at night when the user is asleep, adding other important information to see, and controlling the smart home directly from Standby mode. The Bloomberg report expects that Apple needs some time to introduce a smart screen to consumers, and it may launch the screen in 2024 at the earliest. The report comes in conjunction with other information published by Bloomberg that Apple plans to add some health-related features in the upcoming versions of its wireless AirPods, including the ability to determine the user’s hearing level in addition to measuring body temperature.

New leaks related to the “iPhone 15” device revealed a change in the specifications of the external frame, as the stainless steel frame (stainless steel) will be replaced by a titanium frame.
It is possible that the iPhone Pro and Pro Max will be powered by a new processing chip, have a titanium frame, and some models may have a periscope telephoto camera to enable optical zoom and photograph small objects.
And the PatentlyApple website stated that the “Hon Hai Group”, the main supplier of Apple, had submitted requests to produce the “iPhone 15 Pro” with a titanium frame, of which one kilogram is estimated at between $ 35-50, compared to $ 1-1.50 per kilogram for stainless steel. .
The site indicated that the addition of expensive titanium adds credibility to many reports that the prices of the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models will rise this year, considering that this step has many benefits, because titanium has the same strength as stainless steel, but it is 40 percent lighter. , and 3 to 4 times stronger than the same weight.
He believed that the combination of light weight and additional durability has a great meaning, noting that the weight of the 6.5-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max is 240 grams, while the 6.6-inch Galaxy S23 Plus weighs 195 grams.
Forbes magazine said that the trend of the leading mobile device company Apple to add titanium makes sense; Because the leaks also indicate that the new devices will have larger screens, and therefore there is a need to reduce weight, while maintaining durability and wear resistance.
Phone arena suggested that Apple would ship the iPhone 15 early this year, to avoid display problems that occurred when version 14 was released, as many gathered in front of sales sites that some of them were devoid of devices for a relatively long time, as it is expected to be sold. Production of the new device earlier than last year, especially since the parent company is “optimistic” regarding sales, as it expects to ship 89 million units this year.
And 78 million iPhone 14 units were sold during the same period last year.

Apple is intensifying the development stages of Vision Pro to launch it in 2024

Apple is intensively completing the development of the software side of its Vision Pro smart glasses, which were launched in the middle of this month, in an effort to be ready to be put on the market by early next year, according to Bloomberg.
The agency stated in a report that some of the basic parts of the software interface of the glasses had not been developed, such as writing in the air and parts of the user interface, in addition to the need for Apple to develop iPad applications and services for the glasses, to be compatible with the new visionOS operating system.
And “Bloomberg” indicated that Apple still needs to adjust the operation of third-party applications with the glasses, in addition to how to shoot and display 3D content, as well as the EyeSight feature to show your eyes to others while using the glasses.
The American company must also adjust how the device works with medical lenses, in addition to making sure that the glasses are comfortable during their use, according to the agency.
The report indicated that Apple will begin to change its confidentiality policies regarding the glasses, following it used to allow only senior engineers and executives to take them to their homes, the company will need to change that, as it has allocated thousands of employees to work on developing various aspects of the glasses.
Next month is expected to start allowing select developers to get hands-on with the device to help them build apps.
At the same time, developers of basic iOS and iPadOS applications within Apple began working on new versions of the glasses, as the company offered only a small part of visionOS applications during the launch event this month because new versions of calendar services, maps, books, mail and others are not finished yet.
The report indicated that some observers noticed during Apple’s annual developer conference WWDC 2023 that the EyeSight feature did not work on experimental devices, suggesting that this was due to the company’s attempt to maintain secrecy, as this feature is considered one of the most important competitive points that Apple is trying to distinguish its glasses from competitors. It also explains the strict measures the company has put in place around media and influencers trying out the new glasses.
It is noteworthy that one of the users of the glasses explained that its structure was very heavy following a few hours of use, while others suffered from motion sickness, but on a smaller scale than the competing glasses, according to the report.
To address the weight problem, Apple has developed an additional strap that goes over the head, but the company is considering selling this strap as a separate accessory rather than being included in the box.
Apple plans to create new areas within its stores to experience the glasses, in order to market the new device, and these spaces will allow buyers to choose the correct size straps and the Light Seal cover, which prevents external light from entering the glasses.
The report also indicated that Apple has developed an iPhone app to scan customers’ faces inside its stores, to help determine the correct size of light-blocking shade, and is also considering releasing it as an app for consumers who shop online.
In its report, the agency pointed out that Apple has begun to redistribute some work teams and direct them to develop technologies and features for future generations of smart glasses, one of which is the more advanced second generation of Vision Pro, and the second is a low-cost generation.
