The recent reports by Bloomberg’s trusted Apple reporter Mark Gurman suggest Apple is planning to launch an updated version of its AirTag in the first half of 2025.

This will be the first significant update to the popular tracking device since it was first introduced in 2021.

The upcoming AirTag is expected to feature a more advanced chip with Gurman hinting that it will likely feature the second-generation ultra-wideband (UWB) chip. The same chip was last used in the iPhone 15.

This new chip will improve the accuracy of the device’s location tracking and will make it even easier to find lost items.

The original AirTag comes with Apple’s U1 chip that uses UWB technology and Bluetooth to connect to the Find My network.

This allows users to locate their items accurately. Its compact and lightweight stainless-steel design also offers IP67 water and dust resistance.

A small built-in speaker helps users find their AirTag by emitting sound through the Find My app. Moreover, the removable back cover makes it easy to replace the battery.

Users can track the AirTag on a map through the app. They can use additional features like sound, haptic feedback and visual directions using ARKit, accelerometer and gyroscope.

If an AirTag is lost, it can be put into Lost Mode. This will notify the owner when it is found or comes within range.

However, when someone else finds the tag they can tap it with an NFC-enabled device to see the owner’s contact details.

Apple has also built-in privacy features to prevent unwanted tracking.

The AirTag’s Bluetooth signal identifiers change frequently, which makes it hard for unauthorized users to track the device. Communication through the Find My network is encrypted end-to-end.

There are also rumours that the upcoming AirTag will work with Apple’s Vision Pro headset.

However, specific details about the future release of the AirTag are still unclear.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had mentioned last year that the AirTag’s production would be delayed until 2025. If we consider the words of both Kuo and Gurman, we can assume Apple is planning a launch next year.

Apple has just updated its vintage and obsolete product lists with some old MacBook, iPad, iPhone and iPod models. This means some of the well-loved old Apple devices are now classified as “vintage” or “obsolete.”

Apple regularly updates these lists and adds products that have been off the market for a long time.

Apple follows some rules for both its vintage and obsolete lists. It marks a product “Vintage” after the product has not been sold for five years. Meanwhile, they are moved to the “Obsolete” list after seven years of not being sold.

As per a recent MacRumors report, several iconic products have been added to both lists this time.

Apple today added the final iPod nano and iPod shuffle models to its obsolete products list worldwide.
Image -Macrumors

The iPhone 6, the last models of the iPod nano and iPod shuffle are now considered obsolete. In the vintage list, Apple has added the 2017 version of the 12-inch MacBook and the 6th generation of the base iPad.

Apple updated these lists last month as well. Some of the products added to the Obsolete list last month include –

  • MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2015)
  • MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, 2 TBT3)
  • MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, 4 TBT3)
  • MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016)
  • MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015)
  • MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2016)
  • iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2015)
  • iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, Late 2015)
  • iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015)

It also added three Macs to the vintage list last month. These included –

  • MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, 2 TBT3)
  • MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2018, 4 TBT3)

If you’re wondering where your old Apple product stands in these categories, you can find the full list including the recently added products on the Support page of Apple’s website.

When an Apple product is marked vintage, it basically means you can still potentially get the device repaired. Although it would depend on the availability of parts.

On the other hand, when a product is obsolete, it means Apple will no longer be able to offer hardware repairs on those products, except for battery replacements on certain Macs.

FAQ

Apple is known for shaking things up with new colours and introducing some never-before-seen shades. However, the brand has always maintained subtle tones even in bold colour choices. The premium iPhone Pro models especially have more subdued tones as a part of their brand.

The iPhone 16 lineup brought a vibrant range of hues including ultramarine, teal, and a lively pink. Apple has been admittedly working to make sure colour options have something to offer for customers of every taste.

Now, it seems Apple might bring another set of fresh colours to its upcoming iPhone 17 Pro. The brand expects to add some freshness along with elegance to its lineup.

According to a recent report by reliable leaker Majin Bu, Apple is considering three new colour options for the iPhone 17 Pro with Teal Titanium being the frontrunner.

The company is anticipating for this colour to follow the success of the teal iPhone 16, which has been popular among buyers.

Apart from the Teal Titanium, Majin Bu reports Apple is also considering other potential colour options such as Green Titanium and Dark Green Titanium. These could closely resemble the Alpine Green from the iPhone 13 Pro.

The colour code for all three colours –

  • #004349 code for Teal Titanium
  • #4f00b7 for Green Titanium
  • #4f00b7 for Green Titanium.

However, insiders believe that Apple is leaning towards the Teal Titanium since the other shades might be too flashy or too similar to past colours.

It seems Apple is continuously working to expand its iPhone colour palette even for premium devices since the past few launches. The Teal Titanium definitely has the potential to become a standout choice for the iPhone 17 Pro.

FAQs

Q1. What are the new colour options being considered for the iPhone 17 Pro?

  • Harvard students’ how Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses can be a potential threat to privacy.
  • Shows how smart glasses can identify strangers and create AI-generated profiles.
  • Experiment shows how modern tech can be misused for surveillance.

We have often heard and read about allegations against the government for using facial recognition technology. However, a recent project by two Harvard students shows how modern tech can be misused for similar surveillance.

In an eye-opening experiment, AnhPhu Nguyen and Caine Ardayfio demonstrated that Meta’s new Ray-Ban smart glasses along with a bit of coding can be used to identify strangers and create detailed AI-generated profiles. These claims now spark serious privacy concerns regarding the latest Meta gadget already available in the market.

Nguyen and Ardayfio are both experienced developers. They have carried out this project not to exploit the technology but as a “wake-up call” to highlight privacy risks in the age of AI.

Using the Ray-Ban glasses that come eqippped the cameras, these students were able to quickly identify people in public.

They were also able to build AI-generated dossiers based on publicly available data.

According to the duo, this experiment was meant to draw attention to the growing threats to privacy, especially as everyday devices become more advanced.

“All the data gathered by I-XRAY comes from public sources,” they explained, raising concerns about how easily open-source intelligence can be leveraged for doxing or other harmful activities.

Nguyen noted that smart glasses were chosen for their style rather than practicality. They also demonstrated how anyone could use a zoom camera to achieve the same results from a distance.

Moreover, the coding required for this particular project was actually very simple.

According to Nguyen, it only took them two or three days of coding with around four to six hours of work per day to achieve the results. This accessibility makes the technology even more alarming.

“Anyone familiar with basic web automation tools like ChatGPT could create this,” Nguyen said, emphasizing how easy it is for even novice developers to replicate their experiment.

The team has maintained that they have no plans to share the code due to its potential for misuse. Their goal was to demonstrate the risks posed by accessible technology.

FAQS

Q1. What did AnhPhu Nguyen and Caine Ardayfio demonstrate with Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses?

Answer. AnhPhu Nguyen and Caine Ardayfio demonstrated that Meta’s new Ray-Ban smart glasses, along with a bit of coding, can be used to identify strangers and create detailed AI-generated profiles.

Q2. What was the goal of Nguyen and Ardayfio’s Meta smart glasses experiment?

Answer. The experiment was meant to draw attention to the growing threats to privacy, especially as everyday devices become more advanced.

Q3. Why did Nguyen and Ardayfio choose to use smart glasses for their experiment?

Answer. Smart glasses were chosen for their style rather than practicality, demonstrating that anyone could use a zoom camera to achieve the same results from a distance.

Rumour: MicroLED Displays in Apple AR Glasses and 2026’s Apple Watch Ultra

Highlights

  • Apple still plans to introduce microLED displays.
  • The company might use microLED displays in a new Apple Watch Ultra model and possibly AR glasses.
  • The release of both products is expected in 2026.
image
There is a chance Apple might use microLED in AR glasses and 2026’s Apple Watch Ultra, according to rumours. (Image credit – Apple)

Earlier this year it was widely reported that Apple cancelled a major microLED order meant for the Apple Watch Ultra 3 with Austrian firm ams-Osram. It was also reported that production issues made Apple extend the time frame for using microLEDs to 2027.

While Osram did not specifically confirm that Apple was the client that backed out from a major order, it did make things obvious in a press statement. Osram’s statement said, “a cornerstone project underpinning its microLED strategy got unexpectedly cancelled, triggering the company to re-assess its microLED strategy” in a dedicated press release.

Moreover, even though the order was made from Osram, it seemed LG was also involved and the Korean company wasn’t in the mood to let that go. It was reported a couple of months ago that LG is also seeking compensation from Apple for cancelling the order for microLED panels.

With all that development, it wouldn’t be wrong on your part to think that Apple’s plan for using microLED displays in its products is over for the time being.

However, when it comes to Apple, speculations and rumours hardly leave the sight.

It appears Apple hasn’t abandoned the technology entirely yet.

According to a new rumour shared by a tipster on X (previously Twitter), Apple is still planning to introduce microLED displays in future devices including a new Apple Watch Ultra model expected to launch in 2026.


This rumoured time frame doesn’t align with previous claims that Apple extended the time frame for using micro-LEDs to 2027. The new rumour pulls the time frame by one year.

The X tipster also hints that Apple will expand the use of microLED displays beyond the Apple Watch. The Cupertino giant is reportedly gearing up for AR glasses featuring microLED panels in 2026 as well.

If these rumours prove true, 2026 could be an exciting year for Apple’s use of microLED technology in not one but two products – the Apple Watch Ultra and the much-anticipated Apple AR Glasses.

Meanwhile, it is still unclear where the Apple-LG situation stands.

Certain reports believe LG could either continue seeking compensation from Apple for the cancelled order or can even attempt to secure a new contract in the future.

Charles Martin for AppleInsider:‎

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported in March of 2024 that Apple had abandoned the idea of using a microLED display for a third series of Apple Watch Ultra, due to cost.

One of the suppliers who Apple arranged for microLED production, LG Display, asked for compensation after the project was shelved.

MicroLED technology is similar to regular LEDs, but at the micron level. The advantage of microLED is that it could offer OLED-like contrast and brightness, but without requiring a backlight panel.

The new claim stems from a recent account on X.com under the name “Jukanlosreve,” who appears to be the same person who formerly posted leaks under the names “Revegnus” and “Tech_reve.”

Under the previous names, they have said that a second-generation Apple Vision Pro might launch in 2026 at half its current price, which is within the realm of plausible.

FAQs

Q1. Why did Apple cancel its major microLED order with Austrian firm ams-Osram?

Answer. It was widely reported that Apple cancelled a major microLED order meant for the Apple Watch Ultra 3 with Austrian firm ams-Osram due to production issues, extending the time frame for using microLEDs to 2027.

Q2. What is the rumoured new timeline for Apple to introduce microLED displays?

Answer. According to a new rumour shared by a tipster on X (previously Twitter), Apple is still planning to introduce microLED displays in future devices, including a new Apple Watch Ultra model expected to launch in 2026.

Q3. What other product might feature microLED displays in 2026?

Answer. The X tipster also hints that Apple will expand the use of microLED displays beyond the Apple Watch. The Cupertino giant is reportedly gearing up for AR glasses featuring microLED panels in 2026 as well.

The three models, Nubia V70, Nubia V70 Design, and Nubia V70 Max have been identified in the IMEI database with model numbers Z2459, Z2458, and Z2467, respectively.

The upcoming Nubia V70 series is the latest smartphone line from ZTE, following in the footsteps of the previously released Nubia V60 and V60 Design.

Both predecessor models were designed for the affordable and entry-level smartphone category. It’s expected that the upcoming V70 series models will also maintain this budget-friendly approach.

As of now, the launch date of the V70 series remains unknown.

However, if we look at the past trends of ZTE launch plans for the V60, it’s likely these new smartphones will hit the shelves around the end of this year.

As for key specs, ZTE has managed to keep things hidden and we haven’t heard very many rumours about what ZTE is bringing in the upcoming series. However, we can expect a significant upgrade from the predecessor series Nubia V60.

To recall, the Nubia V60 boasts a 6.6-inch 90Hz HD+ display, a 50MP triple rear camera setup, 5000mAh battery with 22.5W fast charging. On the other hand, the Nubia V60 Design stands out for its Sky-mirror Glass back and offers 256GB of storage with 4GB of RAM.

As mentioned, we can expect a significant upgrade in the upcoming ZTE Nubia V70 series. Hopefully, more details will emerge soon.

No ‘Serious’ Apple Intelligence Performance Until 2026 or 2027, Hints Analyst

Highlights

  • Analyst Edison Lee suggests “series” AI performance won’t arrive in iPhone until 2026 or 2027.
  • Predicts 5-10% growth in iPhone sales unlikely this year.
  • Lee however sees long-term AI potential for Apple over Android devices.

We all know that the rollout of Apple Intelligence is happening gradually. iPhone 16 Series comes with the tag “built for Apple Intelligence,” which hints how it is a device you get with a promise for the future. The gradual roll of Apple Intelligence features starts soon with the first six features set to launch with a new iOS 18.1 update by the end of this month.

However, we won’t see the new Siri version until next year.

While Apple fans are still conflicted about this, a tech analyst recently suggested that we should lower our expectations even further.

According to recent analyst comments, iPhones won’t have “serious” AI performance until 2026 or 2027.

There was talk that Apple Intelligence would drive a surge in iPhone 16 sales since only iPhone 15 Pro users would get the new features without upgrading.

But as of now, it looks like this year’s iPhone sales are about the same as last year, which indicates that AI isn’t a major selling point yet.

Jefferies analyst Edison Lee isn’t surprised by this. He told The Street recently that a 5-10% growth in iPhone sales is “unlikely.”

Although Lee acknowledges that Apple has a key AI advantage over other smartphone brands, he thinks it will be at least 2-3 years before this significantly boosts demand for new iPhones.

“We like Apple Intelligence long term, as Apple is the only hardware-software integrated player that can leverage proprietary data to offer low-cost, personalized AI services,” Lee said.

“However, smartphone hardware needs rework before being capable of serious AI, likely by 2026/27.”

Lee maintains that Apple has what can be termed as a longer-term advantage compared to Android devices in terms of tech and cost development. He seems particularly positive about Apple’s partnership with chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor.

He also expects Apple to show better growth next year but that will be more because of the upcoming slimmer iPhone 17 Air and not so much due to Apple Intelligence.

“We believe AI-capable smartphone tech is likely 2-3 years away due to limitations in high-speed memory and advanced packaging tech. [But] Apple’s thin model (17 Air) in 2025 could attract more upgrade demand,” Lee said.
