Source: Apple / Apple Event Many thought Apple was done for the year after announcing its new iPhone 12 lineup, but the company said aht aht aht, we got one more thing to drop on y’all. Tuesday (Nov.10) Apple might have definitely changed the way PC’s are being made.

Apple didn’t waste no time putting the new M1 chip to work, putting it inside the new MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and Mac Mini, giving each device significant performance boosts.

Spotify Will Soon Allow Streaming from Apple Watch Without iPhone Nearby
Streaming giant Spotify is heavily favored among music fans, even those who stream via their Apple devices.

Apple Announces 5G iPhone Launch Date
Apple has revealed that its newest iPhones will debut at a product launch event on 13 October. The company is expected to showcase “four redesigned iPhones with 5G wireless capability, upgraded cameras, faster processors and a wider range of screen sizes”, according to Bloomberg.
