The fun: Apple has included some of the best looking wallpapers for macOS that I’ve ever seen in the newest macOS Big Sur.
Our take: The second one is the best, the colors just pop.
The fun: Per usual, iOS 14 features stunning new wallpapers that you can get on any device by scrolling down.
Our take: The dark blue and green one is the best. Plus, I’m super happy that Apple included light/dark mode versions yet again. Makes it that much more special.
The news: Headlining features for the next iOS update may have been revealed by L0vetodream (90.5% accurate).
Our take: These leaks appear to have originated from a source on Weibo, and it’s unclear if these are just predictions or hard intel. We’ll see in a few hours.
The news: Parts of the next iPadOS update have been potentially revealed by L0vetodream (90.5% accurate).
Our take: These leaks appear to have originated from a source on Weibo, and it’s unclear if these are just predictions or hard intel. We’ll see in a few hours.
The news: The next macOS update has potentially been revealed by Lovetodream (9o.5% accurate).
Our take: These leaks appear to have originated from a source on Weibo, and it’s unclear if these are just predictions or hard intel. We’ll see in a few hours.
The news: The watchOS 7 update has been seemingly detailed by L0vetodream (90.5% accurate).
Our take: These leaks appear to have originated from a source on Weibo, and it’s unclear if these are just predictions or hard intel. We’ll see in a few hours.
The news: The first detailed (but still incomplete) iPhone 12 dummy units have surfaced, shared by Sonny Dickson (77.8% accurate).
Our take: The camera setups are clearly outdated as only two models in 2020 are said to have triple cameras. However, this is our best look yet at what the iPad Pro design languages looks like when applied to the iPhone. And it think it looks slick.
The news: While a redesigned iMac is still on track for release later in 2020, it won’t be happening at WWDC, according to Jon Prosser (81.3% accurate).
Our take: Especially with this WWDC being online-only, everything is a toss-up. Prosser has the slight edge on Dickson here, but Dickson has been leaking for much, much longer. I could see it go either way at this point.
With WWDC 2020 just around the corner, here are all of the leaks and rumors about watchOS 7.

The news: Apple’s mixed AR/VR headset “will make it almost impossible for a user to differentiate the virtual world from the real one,” according to Mark Gurman (84.3% accurate).
Our take: I’ve tried VR a handful of times but have never been impressed yet–I fail to be enthralled in the different world that the tech promises. I think if anybody can do it, it will be Apple. But even then I’m not sold yet.
The news: Just over 10 years after switching away from the iPhoneOS moniker, Apple may be reintroducing it at WWDC this year, according to Jon Prosser (86.7% accurate).
Our take: Shocking, but sensible. When you line every other platform up, there’s one outlier: iOS. Everything old really is new again.
