AirPods 3 leaked, iMac 2021 and iPhone 13

The new iMac will have a completely new design, the AirPods 3 have been leaked and Apple will give the MacBook Pro 2021 many useful features. This is the most important iPhone news from last week.

‘iMac 2021 gets a colorful new design, also Mac Pro mini on the way’

A striking rumor states that Apple is finalizing a 2021 iMac, which will appear in bright colors. Apple would give the desktop a new design, which is reminiscent of an iPad Pro with a more angular design and narrower screen edges. It appears in multiple colors, according to Apple insider Jon Prosser: silver, black, green, pink and blue. In the renders that Prosser had made, you can see how the pastel colors resemble those of the iPad Air from last year. In addition to the colorful iMac, Apple would also be working hard on a smaller version of the Mac Pro.

‘iPhone 13 modem will be the solution for 5G in the Netherlands’

The iPhone 13 series will be equipped with a brand new modem from Qualcomm, according to a new rumor. Compared to the iPhone 12, this modem is a lot smaller and more economical. That should benefit the battery life of the new iPhones. Even more important is what the modem makes possible in the field of 5G. The European iPhone 12 supports 5G, but the ‘sub-6GHz’ version, which is a slower version. This version is especially suitable for sparsely populated areas and can make a stable connection at greater distances. However, the iPhone 13 could also handle ‘mmWave’, a faster variant of 5G that is now only supported by iPhone 12 models in the United States.

‘AirPods 3 leaked: new design, Spatial Audio and better wearing comfort’

Rumors have been appearing for months about the next AirPods, which are ready for the third generation. The website 52 audio says he has the first leaked photos in his hands. It clearly shows how Apple was inspired by the AirPods Pro. If the photos are correct, the new AirPods will have a shorter stem. You can press this to pause music or control Siri. Like the AirPods Pro, they also come equipped with replaceable earbuds in a variety of sizes. The photo also shows the charging case, which is a bit smaller and narrower than that of the AirPods Pro. Because these AirPods fit better in your ears, the ‘ventilation system’ of the Pros would also make the switch.

MacBook Pro 2021 again has HDMI port and SD card reader

According to a new rumor, the HDMI port and SD card reader are returning on the MacBook Pro. The two new MacBook Pros would be released sometime in the second half of 2021. In addition, Apple would make some improvements in terms of design and specifications, but little is known about this. We also do not yet know when the laptops will be announced exactly. If the SD card reader returns, then that is good news for photographers, for example, who can insert the memory card directly into the MacBook. Thanks to the HDMI port, you no longer need an adapter to connect the MacBook Pro to an external screen.

CoronaMelder app now also available for iPhone 5S and iPhone 6

The Dutch CoronaMelder app works best when as many people as possible use it. From now on, owners of an iPhone 5S or iPhone 6 can also download the application. The original CoronaMelder app only worked on devices with iOS 13.5 and newer, leaving the iPhone 6 and older bypassed. This is because the app uses the special software that Apple and Google developed together to make corona apps work properly. In December, Apple updated this software and released an update for iOS 12, a version of iOS that works on older devices.
