On the iPhone 14 Pro series, there will be single holes + pill-shaped holes near the top of the display.
In the absence of bangs grooves, the pill-shaped holes will be used for the Face ID dot matrix projector, which is said to house the front camera and the Face ID infrared camera.
The back looks largely unchanged from the iPhone 13 Pro series, with the triple camera array housed in a camera bulge that protrudes from the fuselage.
The sides are still rectangular buttons and grilles.
Apple is expected to release four iPhone 14 series models this year, including the 6.1-inch 14 digital series and pro version, as well as two 6.7-inch 14 Max and Pro Max.
It has also been revealed that Apple will seek to further distinguish between the Pro version and the standard version this year, that is, only the Pro version will get the new A16 bionic processor, while the standard version will use the A15 processor.
Brother: It doesn't seem like anything special...
The Studio Display display runs iOS 15.4
Apple launched the Studio Display display at the spring conference, equipped with a 27-inch 5K screen and equipped with an A13 chip, which was ridiculed by netizens as "the performance of the display is stronger than that of the mobile phone".
According to daring Fireball's John Gruber test experience, under "Graphics/Display" in the system information, you can see the software information of Studio Display, showing that it runs "Version 15.4 (Build 19E241)", which is exactly the same as the build number of iOS 15.4 and iPadOS 15.4, indicating that Studio Display is running the full version of iOS.
In this way, the software system update in the future should be as convenient as the iPhone and iPad.
Studio Display is priced at 11499 yuan and is currently on sale.
Brother: Will the performance be compared with the monitor in the future?
Mac Studio will introduce a security lock
Apple plans to soon sell a third-party security lock for Mac Studio consoles that locks to the bottom of Mac Studio to guarantee physical protection without damaging or modifying it.
As you can see from the picture, there is a small hole in the bottom of the Mac Studio, and some netizens speculate that it may be a Kensington lock.

However, the Kensington lock is large and unlikely to fit under the Mac Studio, so it may be a custom model.
Apple has introduced a $398 Belkin security lock for the Mac Pro to prevent it from being taken away or opened inside.
Brother: Vigorously out of the miracle...
The M1 Ultra is equivalent to half the performance of the RTX 3090
The Verge uses the Geekbench 5 graphics test to compare the performance of the M1 Ultra with the RTX 3090.
When it's running at full power, it really can't match the NVIDIA RTX3090, and mac Studio beats the 16-core Mac Pro, which is about half the performance of the RTX 3090.

Although the Geekbench 5 test GPU is not very suitable, but this is only the theoretical general performance, the specific requirements or to see the specific software optimization and actual performance, theoretical performance for reference only.
Of course, this data is actually quite good.
Brother: What do you think?

In addition, the inner and outer screens of the vivo X Fold use the under-screen fingerprint scheme, rather than the side fingerprints currently used in other folding screen mobile phones.
According to the introduction, the under-screen fingerprint module of vivo X Fold will use a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint element, which has a smaller footprint, faster recognition speed and higher success rate of recognition than the traditional short-throw fingerprint recognition technology.
