  • Another report says LiDAR remaining exclusive to iPhone 13 Pro models

    Another report says LiDAR remaining exclusive to iPhone 13 Pro models

    The rumor: Only Pro iPhones in 2021 will feature the LiDAR sensor, according to dylandkt (81.3% accurate).

    • Only iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max will include the LiDAR sensor, which makes augmented reality tasks significantly more accurate and assists with focus in low-light
    • A previous report from January suggested LiDAR would make its way to all 2021 iPhones

    Our take: Frankly, I don’t think non-Pro users are missing out on much of anything here. The LiDAR sensor is nice, but it is by no means a significant feature in its current state.

  • M2 chip could launch in new MacBook Air in first half of 2022

    M2 chip could launch in new MacBook Air in first half of 2022

    The rumor: Apple’s next major M-series chip is coming next year in a new MacBook Air, according to dylandkt (81.3% accurate).

    • The M2 chip is separate from the upcoming M1X chip, and will come in the first half of 2022 inside a new MacBook
    • This source also mentions that the MacBook Air will be colorful, as Jon Prosser (74.2% accurate) had previously reported

    Our take: dylandkt has a wildly good track record for these types of scoops, so I would bet on this being the case. Seems like M1/2/3 will be for consumer level hardware and M1/2/3X will be for pro devices.

  • Rumor says new 14/16-inch MacBook Pro coming October-November with M1X chip, 1080p webcam & more

    Rumor says new 14/16-inch MacBook Pro coming October-November with M1X chip, 1080p webcam & more

    The rumor: The all-new, redesigned MacBook Pro with M1X inside will be releasing in the fourth quarter of 2021, according to new source with a credible track record, dylandkt (81.3% accurate).

    dylandkt, who accurately predicted details about the new M1 iMac ahead of launch, says this is what we should expect to see on the upcoming MacBook Pro…

    • A new design with 14/16-inch display options, but no ‘MacBook Pro’ branding on the bottom bezel
    • The M1X chip with more CPU and GPU cores, and support for 4 Thunderbolt ports
    • A 1080p webcam, which would be the first-ever in a MacBook
    • Release sometime in late October or early November 2021

    Our take: I spent the morning digging through dylandkt’s Twitter account and couldn’t believe how many accurate things he had predicted. If you’re skeptical, I was, too. But dylandkt is the only source that called M1 in iPad Pro and described the exact design of the new iMac…months ahead of launch.
