iPhone 15 Series

Let’s discuss the upcoming Apple March Event 2023 and all rumours so far on the Apple lineup.

The popularity of Apple Events has been unparalleled since Steve Jobs announced the first iPhone during the Macworld 2007 event. The entire tech industry holds on to these events to know where the Cupertino giant is headed.

And while the market is always full of rumours about what to expect, Apple has often been successful in surprising its own fanbase.

So, although we don’t have any confirmation as of now, in this article we are looking at what to expect from the Apple March Event 2023, based on all rumours. So, let’s begin with the event date speculations.

Also Read: Upcoming iPhone 2023- iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Ultra, iPhone SE 4, iOS 17

Apple March Event 2023 – Dates

An Apple event calender usually has around four events lined up, starting from the March spring event, the June Worldwide Developers Conference, the iPhone focused September event, and the October iPad or Mac upgrade announcement event.

The March spring event usually has product announcements from different categories. The event last year was organised on March 8, 2022, and had the official unveiling of the iPhone SE 2022, the Mac Studio, the iPad Air 2022, an M1 Ultra chip and the Apple Studio Display. The spring event in 2021, however, was held in April, which is also the month Apple sometimes go for the first event of the calendar year.

Although no official confirmation has happened yet from the brand, market rumours are strong that in 2023, Apple is sticking to the March event schedule. Based on those rumours, we can assume the event to happen anytime before April 1, 2023.

Announcements we can expect from Apple March Event 2023 (all rumoured)

  • MacBook Air 15-inch
  • MacBook Pro with M2 Pro
  • Mac Mini 2023
  • New Apple Mac Pro
  • Apple VR/AR headset

Here’s what you can expect from these products most likely to be announced during Apple March Event 2023 

Apple March Event 2023

MacBook Air M2 15-inch

If analyst Ross Young’s tips are to be believed, Apple is finally announcing the 15-inch MacBook Air this year and it could very well be during the March event. The rumours about a potential MacBook Air M2 15-inch launch aren’t anything new though and any tech enthusiast would have already heard about it for some time now. Below are some of the market speculations around the product, even though there is no official confirmation yet.

MacBook Pro M2

MacBook Pro M2 Pro 14-inch and 16-inch

Rumours suggest, replacing the M1 Pro and M1 Max-powered 14-inch MacBook Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro would be the upcoming 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro M2 Pro models. Industry, however, expected these to be out in October, though somehow Apple’s fanbase now expects these to be unveiled during the March 2023 event. Expected features –

Chipset the new M2 Pro chip
RAM newer, faster LPDDR5X RAM
Suggested Price $1,999 for the 14-inch version or $2,499 for the 16-inch version

Apple March Event 2023

Mac Mini M2

This again was expected for an October unveiling earlier, but now a recent tip from Gurman strongly indicates Mac Mini M2 is most likely to arrive during the March event. Below are some of the features that rumours suggest the Mac Mini M2 will carry.

In all probability, the March event will unveil the Mac Pro M2 as leaks have been flooding the tech blogging websites for quite some time now. As far as rumours suggest, the Mac Pro this time will come in M2 Ultra and M2 Extreme chipset options. Here are some other features that we can expect to be a part of Mac Pro M2.

M2 Ultra Chip option 24 CPU cores and 76 GPU cores
M2 Extreme chip option 48 CPU cores and 152 GPU cores

 

Apple AR/VR Set

Apple AR/VR Headset

As the wait for Apple’s entry into the Mixed Reality headset world is reportedly going to be longer than we all expected earlier, the AR/VR headset is something we can expect to be launched during the March event 2023.

Although some industry experts believe this could actually push towards the second quarter of the year, we are keeping our hopes for sooner as of now.

Moreover, we don’t yet have many updates about the headsets other than the fact that we would not be easy on our pockets. As per the speculations, the Apple AR/VR Headsets price would be somewhere between a whooping $2,000 to $3,000 dollars.

What is Web 3

The term Web 3.0 or Web 3 technology has been regularly making appearances in discussions about the future of technology and the internet. In case you have doubts about the concept, in this article, we are learning more about what is Web3 and why is Web3 important.

We are currently living in an era of Web 2.0 and slowly moving towards the next generation of the internet. It all started in 1994 when Web 1.0 was introduced with all read-only content. After a few years in 2004, Web 2.0 came into the picture and made the internet much more interactive because of the developments in web technologies.

Computer languages such as javascript, HTML5, css3, and others came into existence and allowed the creation of interactive web platforms like YouTube, Facebook and many more. Now, as the evolution of the internet continues, we often hear about Web3 or Web 3.0. But what’s going to change in the next phase? What is Web3? Let’s try to understand.

Also Read: Artificial Intelligence Unit (AUI) Introduced by IBM

What is Web3 or Web 3.0?

Web3 or Web3.0 is the next step in the evolution of the internet allowing the processing of data with near human intelligence through the use of artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies that runs innovative programs to help users by providing them with their relevant choices. It’s a significant step toward open trusting and permissionless networks. Corporates such as Amazon, Apple and Google have already started transforming their existing services into Web 3 applications. Moreover, Siri and Wolfram Alpha are two applications that use Web 3 technology.

What is Web 3

To understand Web 3 completely, we must explore its four key aspects, which also becomes the reason why it will be important. Here’s what we need to comprehend about how and why is Web 3 important.

Why Is Web 3 Important?

Decentralisation

Blockchain will help to centralise data storage while also establishing trust in the virtual world because Web 3 will allow information to be retrieved based on its content. It can be kept in several locations simultaneously making it decentralized. This would be particularly significant to dismantle the vast databases currently maintained by internet giants such as Meta (earlier Facebook) and Google giving more power to people.

Also Read: Here’s How an Artificial Intelligence Works

Trustful and Permissionless

Web 3 application will be trustful and permissionless. This in simple terms means that web users will be able to interact directly without the need for a trusted intermediary or permission from a governing body. This will further ensure that you can access any data relevant to your choice without any permission from any other node or third party. For example, if you are researching for some data you, don’t need to accept the website cookies.

What is Web 3

Connectivity and Ubiquity

Web3 technology will make it possible for the internet to be accessible by anyone, anywhere at any time. This will be possible because of technologies such as IoT (internet of things), which will be powering several new smart devices. These internet connected devices will no longer be limited to PCs and smartphones as they were in Web 2.0.

AI and Machine Learning

In Web 3, through technology based on semantic web ideas and natural language processing, computers will be able to understand the information in the same way that people do. This will specifically transform the Web3 gaming world. Two sentences may seem different in syntax, however, their semantics could be nearly identical. In such cases, Web3 Technology will help users to achieve more relevant content to their choices and will provide them with ease with internet browsing.

Samsung to Ditch the Galaxy S24 Plus in 2024 Amid Poor Demand

0
Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus

There are strong reports that Samsung might very well ditch the upcoming Galaxy S24 Plus in 2024 as the demand for the handset is extremely poor, which is why the South Korean based tech giant apparently does not want to bet on a limp horse that might make it lose the race.

Samsung‘s is following its rival, Apple‘s footsteps as the latter too massively cut down on its iPhone 14 Pro Plus model’s production due to poor demand, which has apparently prompted the former to do the same with its upcoming model.

Highlights

  • Samsung might very well ditch the Galaxy S24+ in 2024 as the device’s demand has been extremely poor. 
  • The reason is the abysmal sales of Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus that has prompted Samsung to take such a step.
  • Samsung might only launch the vanilla Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Ultra models in 2024.

Samsung Galaxy S24+ Scrapped?

Samsung launched the Galaxy S20 series in 2020 and since then, the company has launched three Galaxy S models, all of which have been received generally well by the tech experts and the general public.

All three were the flagship models during their launch that comprised of a vanilla, a Plus, and an Ultra handset. In the midst of all this, Samsung was going to launch the new Galaxy S24 Plus model in 2024 but after observing the lack of enthusiasm among users, the company might very well scrap the upcoming Plus variant.

Samsung still has its vanilla model Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Ultra ready to be launched in 2024 as the projects have been in the pipeline for the company for quite some time, although the Galaxy S24 Plus isn’t anywhere in sight at the moment.

The reason for Galaxy S24 Plus being missing is speculated to be its poor sales as it accounted for only around 17% of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Series shipments in 2022 while, in contrast, Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22 Ultra accounted for dominated the sales charts with whopping 38% and 45% of 2022 shipments, respectively.

The shipments are a big deal for all tech giants as it determines the efficiency of any smartphone model and its standing in the market, given the tough competition between all the companies.

Samsung may also think of trimming the Galaxy A-line of smartphones by scrapping Galaxy A2x series for good, following which it will resurrect the Galaxy FE series in 2024 to make up for the Galaxy S24 Plus and cope with the “low-end product market”.

Robotics Process Automation

Robotics Process Automation (RPA) is one of the major technology trends that will transform our lives in this decade. The concept has rapidly evolved to reach where it is today and in the coming few years we will see some major advancements as well. In this article, we are looking at Robotics Process Automation in detail. Here we will explore what is Robotics Process Automation, examples, and how it can is often used in various applications to achieve ease of business processes.

Robotics Process Automation

What is Robotics Process Automation?

Robotic Process Automation is a system of using software robots to execute mundane, tedious business and IT tasks that corporate employees perform every day and usually eat up most of their daytime. RPA basically infuses artificial intelligence with the capabilities of integrating and interfacing with applications in a low code setting to perform those desired tasks. To understand this further, let’s go back to our corporate office and understand how these function on day to day basis.

Businesses usually have one common objective, apart from making profiles and selling what they create be it products or services. This common objective is to grow in scale. However, as a business starts growing in scale, the everyday work process also starts to grow in different dimensions. Every corporate office has to perform some painfully mundane tasks every day in order to ensure that the business is running systematically. These tediously mundane tasks often include maintaining spreadsheets for the day-to-day aspects of the business, keeping up with databases that contain actual functional data necessary for the business to run smoothly, tons of emails exchanges with unstructured requests such as individuals requesting subsequent tasks, and lastly, there are business applications themselves on which the business runs on.

Robotics Process Automation

These everyday corporate tasks that do not necessarily contribute to the core business but are still extremely essential for the successful survival of a business take a lot of manpower, time and sometimes physical effort as well. This is exactly where RPA enters the chat and promises to make the lives of corporate employees with a list of everyday monotonous tasks a little bit easier. Below are robotic process automation examples in order to understand the concept with clarity.

RPA in Call Centre Operations – An Robotic Process Automation Example

A call centre when receives a call for complaints or otherwise, the CC agents have to perform manual tasks on computers or applications in order to take the call forward. The manual tasks performed by these agents can be entirely automated with the help of RPA technology. In the past, we have used robotic process automation but human intervention or supervision has always been at the core of such robotic task management.

Now with RPA infused with artificial intelligence and machine learning, there is the technology where programs will observe what humans do and then automatically learn to suggest amendments or improve processes. RPA can also enable automation of certain parts of the entire call centre’s everyday process to allow the workforce to focus on much more important aspects of the business.
