01iPhone 14 design big change: Pro/Pro Max with punch screen Standard Edition remains the same
According to foreign media MacRumors, the iPhone 14 series will use two screen design schemes, the standard version and the Max version that replaces the mini will still use the bangs design, and the Pro/Pro Max version will use a punched screen design.
The iPhone 14 Standard Edition and iPhone 14 Max screen size are 6.1/6.7 inches, respectively, and the latter is a series of new models that replace the mini version. This also means that the iPhone 13 mini released this year will be the last small-screen flagship in the series. At the same time, pro/Pro Max will still be equipped with a ProMotion 120Hz screen.
02 Exposure Apple will launch 5 Mac products in 2020, "back to basics"
Bloomberg famous whistleblower Mark Gurman said that Apple will launch 5 Mac products next year, including the new Mac Book Pro, Mac Book Air and iMac, Mac mini and Mac Pro. Several of these models may be equipped with M2 chips.
At the same time, the naming strategy of these products will also change: macBook Air will be referred to as MacBook, and the larger one in the iMac will also be directly called iMac Pro to help users more clearly understand the difference in processing quality between the two models.
03 Apple postpones epic case enforcement, "Apple tax will continue"
Epic had sued Apple for monopoly-related charges, but Apple won by dismissing the vast majority of them. Although Epic lost the case, the judge still asked Apple to open its third-party payment channel in early December. In this regard, Apple said that it would consider the safety of users, appealed many times, and successfully suspended the implementation of the item.
In response, Epic president Tim Sweeny has said that as long as Apple can comply with the court decision and allow it to retain third-party links, Fortnite can be re-listed on the AppStore. In this regard, Apple directly refused, and Epic's products will be pulled into the "blacklist" in the next 5 years.
