Looking back at this week’s news and headlines from Apple, adding iPhone 17 design leaks, iPhone SE dates, new iOS 18 features, Starlink coming to iPhone, Tiktok still missing, happy birthday iPad and more. . .
Apple Loop is there to remind you of some of the many discussions about Apple over the past seven days. You can read my weekly Android News digest here on Forbes.
The Apple Selfie Chamber draws attention this week. Not only deserves that the iPhone moves to the oldest notch, but the circle of relatives of the iPhone 17 looked a smaller and more narrow window, if it is not absolutely eliminating it. Unfortunately, this no longer turns out to be the case
“This is a blow to those who expected Apple to take the next step towards the holy grail of an All-Off front for the iPhone, without cuts for the identification cameras of the face or other sensors. I did not expect the cut to disappear in Its totality this fall, but a small diamond of the black area seemed to be in the cards. “
(Forbes).
Speculation continues to grow around the launch date of the next Apple Mid -Lrange smartphone. Unlike the annual edition of the iPhone, the iPhone SE of 2025 does not have an old constant date for launch. Which means that other symptoms are used:
“IOS 18. 4 is expected to public beta after the launches of iOS 18. 3 in the past defeated January.
(Forbes).
iOS 18.3 was released this week, bringing some subtle changes to Apple Intelligence but not the final sweeping additions—expected to happen in spring. Nevertheless, the new update brings several smaller yet welcome changes
“Since launch, it’s been transparent that there are more minor updates in the new upcoming version: iPhone 16 series phones have a camera and that AE/AF lock transfer famously as a progression and exposure. Functionality”.
(Forbes).
Apple has supplemented its satellite connectivity service provided by Globalstar with the addition of Starlink to iOS 18.3. While Globalstar has served Apple well for emergency SOS services, Starlink will offer more practical data connectivity.
“[IBC Group’s Mario Nawfal] The key difference? No more pointing your phone at the sky—Starlink works right from your pocket.” Nawfal’s comment was reposted by Elon Musk, who said that “Medium resolution images, music & audio podcasts should work with the current generation Starlink direct-to-phone constellation. Next generation constellation will do medium resolution video.”
(Forbes).
After the coverage of Americans opposed to controlled foreign war parties, it is transparent that Tiktok distribution in the United States, contrary to the law. This law is still in force, and this means that the Tiktok iOS application is not available:
“If you can still access the app, you may have scarcely noticed the activity behind the scenes, though it led to an unheard of response from Apple. But if you had deleted the app, you can’t get it back and if the app developer has updates it wants you to apply, you’re out of luck there, as well. That’s because both Apple and Google are reluctant to offer the app again.”
(Forbes).
The Apple movement to interfere with Google’s antimonopoopoolio case, due to the impact, any resolution would have on Apple’s activities, rejected:
“Apple made the request on December 23, 2024, seeking to protect its ‘ownership interests’ in a billion-dollar exclusivity agreement with Google that makes the Seek engine the default option in its safari browsers on its devices. In its resolution that Apple’s move was premature and that it therefore rules out the move to intervene. “
(Court information service).
Steve Jobs has been revealed for 15 years. Since then, everyone has noticed that Apple never calls the pill a pill. However, satisfied birthday, iPad!
“…the iPad sold over 300,000 units on its launch day in April 2010 and one million within its first month. It catalyzed the creation of a new product category, sparking competition from rivals such as Samsung, Microsoft, and Amazon. By the end of 2010, Apple had sold over 15 million iPads, generating $9.5 billion in revenue and solidifying the device as a key pillar of the company’s product lineup.”
(Macrumors).
