In this week’s Apple loop, we have several exciting updates and leaks about upcoming products, software updates, and deals. Here’s a roundup of all the latest news:

iPhone 17 Air Leaks

The iPhone 17 series is one of the most anticipated smartphones of the year, and we’ve finally got some juicy leaks to share. According to renowned Apple tipster Jon Prosser, the iPhone 17 Air will feature a 5.4-inch display, while the iPhone 17 Pro will have a larger 6.7-inch screen. Both models are expected to have a 120Hz refresh rate, which means smoother animations and better overall performance.

The leaks also suggest that the iPhone 17 Air will have a dual-camera setup at the back, while the Pro model will boast a quad-camera setup with a periscope lens for improved zoom capabilities. The devices are expected to be powered by Apple’s A15 Bionic chip and will likely support 5G connectivity.

iPhone 16 Camera Disappointment

While the iPhone 17 series is generating a lot of excitement, some users are expressing disappointment with the camera performance on the iPhone 16 series. According to several reports, the cameras on the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro are not living up to expectations, with some users complaining about blurry photos and poor low-light performance.

Apple’s Black Friday iPhone Offers

Black Friday is just around the corner, and Apple has announced some exciting deals on its iPhones. The company is offering discounts on various models, including the iPhone 16 series, which starts at $599. Additionally, Apple is offering a free pair of AirPods with the purchase of an iPhone 16 Pro or iPhone 17 Air.

Amazon’s MacBook Pro Win

In a surprising turn of events, Amazon has emerged as the winner in a bidding war for a critical macOS security update. The update, which was released earlier this week, patches a vulnerability in the MacBook Pro’s firmware that could allow attackers to gain access to the laptop’s camera and microphone without the user’s knowledge or consent.

Critical macOS Security Update

Speaking of security updates, Apple has released a critical macOS update that addresses several vulnerabilities in the operating system. The update, which is recommended for all Mac users, patches flaws in the kernel, graphics drivers, and other components. Users are advised to update their systems as soon as possible to avoid potential attacks.

iOS 18.2 Release Date

Apple has also announced the release date for iOS 18.2, which is set to drop on December 13th. The update is expected to bring several new features and improvements to the operating system, including a new “Siri Interrupt” feature that allows users to interrupt Siri’s responses with follow-up questions.

Apple’s 5G Modem

Lastly, Apple has confirmed that it will be using its own 5G modem in future iPhones. The company has been working on developing its own 5G technology for some time now and has finally announced that it is ready to integrate the new modem into its products. This move could potentially reduce Apple’s reliance on external suppliers and allow for greater control over its device design and performance.

That’s all for this week’s Apple loop! With exciting updates, leaks, and deals, it’s clear that Apple is gearing up for a strong finish to the year. Stay tuned for more news and updates from the world of tech.
