So some very disappointing news happened yesterday. Y'all know how my phone sucks ass and lags severely, glitches, and kicks me out of apps and stuff so I wanted to get an iPhone 13. I currently have a $20 Nokia so that's probably why I have so much trouble with it.
I am currently unemployed since the place I work at is closed during the summer since it's a school, and my grandmom is having like three surgeries this summer so I can't work in order to watch my siblings.
Last night the iPhone 13 in the color starlight came back into stock.. so I filled out all the information and I would've gotten it tomorrow.. fucking Straight Talk disapproved my application.
I literally have six bucks in my account. My grandmom was gonna make monthly payments on it.
This morning she texted me asking how much I had in my account and if it was available at Walmart.. obviously since i only have six bucks..

2023 WWDC Keynote Recap
This year's keynote is expected to cover a few things.
New software updates to be released this fall
New Macs (specifically looking at a bigger MacBook Air and an updated Mac Studio)
Apple's Virtual Reality headset (Rumored to be named Reality Pro, powered by realityOS).
With that being said, let's get started!
15” Macbook Air
Tumblr media
11.5 mm thing; just over three pounds
Magsafe charging and two thunderbolt ports
Available in Midnight, Starlight, Silver and Space Gray
15.3” screen to be exact
18 hours of battery life
Six speakers
TLDR: we made the 13” Macbook Air bigger
Starting at $1299
Available to order today; ships next week
M2 13” Macbook Air dropping by $100 to $1099
M2 Mac Studio
Tumblr media
Updating to the M2 Max
Also announcing the M2 Ultra chip, double the performance of the Max
It’s literally two M2 Max chips put together
This thing is stupid powerful and none of you reading this will ever need this power
Faster HDMI ports
MAC PRO
Tumblr media
Was not expecting this omg
First Apple Silicon computer to have PCI expansion
All come with M2 Ultra
Afterburner card built directly into the Mac Pro
This is going to be so expensive.
8 Thunderbolt Port
iOS 17
Tumblr media
Phone, Facetime & Messages
Personalized contact posters for the phone app so you display how you want to on other people’s devices
Live Voicemail - you can see live transcriptions of Voicemails as people make them
FaceTime now has a “voicemail” function for when someone isn’t available
Messages is receiving stronger search functions
Group chats will jump to the first message you haven’t seen
Swipe on a bubble to reply directly to that message
Check In - let’s your friend know when you get home or let them know if you were delayed or something went awry
All end to end encrypted and on the device
iMessage apps are hidden behind button now to declutter the app
Stickers are being updated as well to be more powerful
Spending way too much time on stickers…
AirDrop
NameDrop - bring phones close together and you can choose to send someone selected contact details
This is basically that old Drop app people had ten years ago
For large files, you don’t have to stay right next to the person anymore
Autocorrect
Autocorrect now becoming stronger using AI (they wouldn’t use that word though)
Keyboard will do better at learning words (no longer changing your swear words to “duck”)
Dictation getting stronger as well with “not AI”
Journal
Tumblr media
New App 
Phone intelligently uses data from your phone to create details journal entries
Only uses the information you give it access to
Set reminders for when to make your journal entries
On device processing, end to end encrypted
Standby
Tumblr media
When phone is on its side and charging, it will basically transform into a smart display
Shows clock, weather, alarm, calendar, etc.
Even remembers preferred view for where you are when you charge
Basically requires a MagSafe charger but i'd be curious if it would work while plugged in and sitting on its side
The Others
Tumblr media
You no longer need to say “Hey” to activate Siri
May lead to a lot more accidental activations if not done correctly by Apple
Photos now creates albums of your pets!!
Offline Maps rolling out as well
iPadOS 17
Widgets & Lock Screen
Widgets are now interactive instead of just displaying info
Lock Screen
iPads getting the same lock screen features as last year’s iPhones finally
Up to 6 widgets on your lock screen
Live Activity features coming to the lock screen (like timers or order tracking)
The Others
Health app now coming to iPad and has been optimized for the larger screen
“The best device for PDFs” lol
Now easier to fill out PDF forms directly in apps like Mail and Notes and not having to switch to other apps
Multiple PDFs can be saved in the same note now, as well as collaborate on PDFs in a note
Better Stage Manager controls
External display support for FaceTime & conference calls
macOS Sonoma
Tumblr media
Screensavers & Widgets
Macs receiving the same type of screensavers that the Apple TV has
Widgets can be added to the desktop instead of hiding in notification center
Intelligently faded into the background or tint so they aren’t distracting when opening up apps
You can access iPhone widgets on Mac as long as iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi
All of this is just making me want a touchscreen Mac more
Gaming
Tumblr media
On a Mac? lol
Introducing “Game Mode”
Optimizes CPU & GPU performance to make sure gaming is the priority
Lowers audio latency on AirPods
Game Porting Toolkit to make it easier for developers to bring games to the Mac
Video Conferencing
Tumblr media
New ways to layer your conference calls with content you are sharing
New effects in calls just like iMessage
Looks cool but will take support from conferencing apps if I’m understanding correctly
Safari & Web Apps
Private browsing locks your private windows when you aren’t using them
Profiles feature let’s you customize your browser to what you’re doing, such as work or school or home
You can now turn websites into web apps, treating it as its own app instead of a tab in the browser
Third party apps allowed you to do this before but its nice that its integrated now
Audio & Home
Tumblr media
AirPods
Adaptive Audio - combines Noise Cancelling & Transparency modes
Lets you choose the level that’s appropriate for your current environment
AirPods sense when you start speaking and lower your music appropriately
Some really useful features... now if only the AirPods Pro would stay in my ears
AirPlay
Can use Siri on HomePod to start playing certain devices on your phone like SoundCloud
AirPlay in Hotels
Uses QR code to quickly connect your phone to your hotel’s TV
SharePlay in Carplay
tvOS
iPhone can locate the remote finally!
FaceTime on Apple TV
Wirelessly connects to iPhone to use the camera, and displays the caller on the TV for everyone to see
Also enables you to watch shows on your TV and stay on a call with friends to watch together
Zoom & Webex coming to the TV later this year
watchOS 10
It’s already been 10 years?!?!?!
Tumblr media
Widgets
Widgets now hidden right below the watch face so you can scroll to see more useful information quickly
Many apps updated to take better advantage of display and be more glanceable
Fitness
New Cycling features for the Watch

Health app will correlate moods with activity and lifestyle changes
Vision Health
Focusing on Myopia
Apple Watch will sense amount of time in daylight for children to reduce risk of myopia
Screen Distance feature lets you know if your device is too close and will cause eyestrain
All health data is encrypted and not stored in the cloud
ONE MORE THING
Tumblr media
Apple Vision Pro
Tumblr media
Y’all just have to watch the video for this. If Apple delivers on what they’re showing then its a big moment.
youtube
•Uses hand & eye tracking to control the device. No controllers. •Apps can react to the world around you •Look at search fields and you can just start talking to fill it out •Also the front of the device shows your eyes… its… weird…  •Calling it “Eyesight” •Supposed to make it easier for people to see where you’re paying attention
Tumblr media
•Again, this is such a weird new dynamic that its hard to describe here without seeing the visuals •Works as a 3D Camera  •Turn any space into a 3D IMAX theater
OH BOB IGER IS HERE
Tumblr media
• Ok actually watch this Disney demo. Wild stuff. But also consider of it half of it is probably fake.
•New R1 chip in addition to the M2 chip for the device. •runs “virtually silent” so it makes some noise lol •Device makes a 3D avatar of you for FaceTime calls. Like a lifelike avatar. Very different from how Meta does their calls •New images streamed to the displays in 12 milliseconds
Tumblr media
•visionOS is the name of the operating system here. The assumed name was realityOS. •Lots of developers, including Adobe & Microsoft, building support for launch •New app store for the device as well •Unlocks via Optic ID, which uses your Iris and stores information encrypted on the device •Device does not share data with developers about where you look on the screen •Over 5000 patents went into this thing
Tumblr media
•$3499  •Available early next year •that’s both more expensive and later than what as expected
And that's a wrap. Some real interesting stuff shown today. Public Betas of the software updates should be available in about a month. And if you're looking for the new iPhones or watches, you're about three months too early. Check back in September for more on that!
You can view the whole keynote from today below or a quick video recap from Apple as well.

New iPad Mini 6 and Low-End iPad Model Launch Dates
Tumblr media
The September 2021 sixth-generation iPad mini sports a bigger display, no Home button, A15 Bionic chip, and USB-C port.
The iPad mini has squared edges, an all-screen design, and a top power button Touch ID fingerprint scanner like the iPad Air. Volume buttons are on top and there’s no Smart Connector on the rear, unlike the iPad Air. Latest iPad mini lacks Touch ID Home button.
The iPad mini has 8.3-inch 2,266 by 1,488 Liquid Retina display. The display has True Tone, P3 broad colour, and 500 nits. A15 Bionic CPU makes the iPhone 13 80% faster than the iPad mini. Initial 5G iPad minis.
Added features include a 12MP Wide rear camera with ̒/1.8 aperture and a 12MP Ultra Wide front-facing camera with Centre Stage for video chats.
The sixth-generation iPad mini magnetically stores, pairs, and charges this second-generation Apple Pencil. The 10-hour battery life matches previous iPads. Space Grey, Pink, Starlight, and Purple iPad minis are available. The 64GB Wi-Fi-only iPad mini costs $499 and the 256GB $649. Cellular models cost $150 extra.
Mark Gurman of Bloomberg said in his Power On email today that new iPad models, including the iPad mini, would be available as early as late 2024.
Design
Apple dramatically altered the sixth-generation iPad mini to resemble an iPad Air. All-display iPad minis lack bezels and Touch ID Home buttons.
Reduced bezels make the iPad mini 6’s 8.3-inch display larger than the mini 5’s 7.9-inch. Touch ID is on the top power button because there is no Home button. The iPad mini 6 has flat, rounded display edges like the iPad Air, iPad Pro, and current iPhones. The iPad mini’s top and bottom are slimmer despite its narrow bezel.
The iPad mini measures 7.69 inches (195.4 mm) long, 5.3 inches (134.8 mm) wide, and 0.25 inches (6.3 mm) thick, but the iPad mini 6 eliminates the mini 5 headphone jack. Apple’s smallest tablet, the iPad mini, weights 293 grammes. Cellular versions feature more hardware and weigh a few grammes.
First iPad with top-mounted volume controls. Volume buttons are on top to permit a magnetic side connector for charging the second-generation Apple Pencil.
Landscape cellular iPad minis have a nano-SIM slot on the side, two speakers on top and bottom, and a microphone. One-lens rear camera. Space Grey, Pink, Purple, and Silver-Gold Starlight are iPad mini 6 hues.
Power TouchID
Touching the iPad mini’s top Touch ID power button detects your fingerprint like the mini 5’s Home button. Touch ID unlocks iPads, opens apps, uses Apple Pay, etc. On iPad mini 6, Touch ID works in portrait and landscape. The Touch ID power button activates Siri.
USB-C
Apple replaced the Lightning port with a bottom USB-C port to align the iPad mini with the Air and Pro. USB-C links the iPad mini to 4K and 5K TVs, cameras, and more. The right USB-C cable charges iPhones and Apple Watches at 5Gbps.
Display
The 8.3-inch, 2266×1488, 326-ppi iPad mini 6 display is laminated. Like the iPad Air, the iPad mini 6 offers True Tone and Wide Colour for vibrant colours.
True Tone matches display white balance to ambient lighting for eye comfort. The iPad mini’s display warms to avoid clashing with the room’s yellow lighting. The iPad mini 6 has 500 nits, 1.8% reflectivity, and antireflective coating. Every iPad has oleophobic fingerprint protection.
Apple Pencil
The second-generation Apple Pencil works with iPad mini 6, Air, and Pro. The magnetic strip on the iPad mini 6 charges the Apple Pencil 2.
A15 Bionic Chip
The iPhone 13’s 6-core A15 CPU runs at 2.9GHz on the iPad mini 6. Due to downclocking, iPad mini CPU is 2–8% slower than iPhone 13. Single-core and multi-core Geekbench scores for the iPad mini 6 average 1,595 and 4,540. Average iPhone 13 single-core and multi-core scores are 1,730 and 4,660.
Chip is stronger than iPad mini’s, slower than iPhone 13. One-core and multi-core performance are 40% and 70% quicker on the iPad mini 6 than the mini 5. 4-core and 5-core GPUs for A15 CPU. The iPad mini has the iPhone 13 Pro’s faster 5-core CPU. The iPad mini 6 has 80% quicker graphics.
A Brain Engine
Cinematic Mode and Smart HDR 3 use 15.8 trillion image signal processor operations per second from the A15’s 16-core Neural Engine.
RAM
The new iPad mini features 4GB RAM, up from 3GB. Its RAM matches iPad Air.
Space to Store
Base 64GB and 256GB iPad minis exist. None in 128GB.
Rear Camera
The iPad mini 6 features a 12-megapixel rear camera with /1.8 aperture, 5x digital zoom, 5-element lens, and quad-LED True Tone lighting. Camera is equivalent to iPad Air but not as advanced as iPhone 13 or iPad Pro.
Panorama, Burst Mode, Smart HDR 3, Live Photos, Focus Pixels, broad colour capture, auto photo stabilization, and more are supported. Slo-mo 120 or 240 fps and 4K 24, 25, 30, or 60 fps are supported. The iPad mini can capture 1080p at 30 or 60 fps with time-lapse, cinematic stabilization, and continuous focusing.
Camera facing front, centre stage
A front-facing FaceTime HD camera has /2.4 aperture and 122 degree field of view. FaceTime’s Centre Stage, debuted with the iPad Pro, works with the front camera.
Centre Stage frames FaceTime calls. Wide-angle front-facing camera shows more, while A15 keeps you in focus when moving.
When there are many calls, the camera zooms out for visibility and sound. Centre Stage works with Zoom and other video apps despite being FaceTime-designed.
Battery Life
The iPad mini 6 utilises its 19.3-watt-hour battery. The battery lasts 10 hours on WiFi and 9 hours on cellular for surfing and streaming video, according to Apple.
Connectivity
The iPad mini 6 supports 5G networks, although not the fastest mmWave networks like US 5G iPhones. It only operates on slower but more common Sub-6GHz networks.
The fastest 5G networks are mmWave, but they are short-range and can be blocked by buildings, trees, and other obstacles, thus they are only used in major cities, concerts, airports, and other busy areas.
Urban, suburban, and rural US and international areas use sub-6GHz 5G more. Due to its low availability, mmWave won’t be missed in most 5G networks.
WiFi and Bluetooth
Both Bluetooth 5.0 and 802.11ax WiFi 6 are supported on the iPad mini 6.
Other Features
The iPad mini has a barometer, ambient light sensor, accelerometer, and three-axis gyroscope.

The MacBook Air now Comes in an All-new M3 Model
Tumblr media
After a ton of of rumors and predictions, it looks like Apple was planning an actual product release for the first week of March, although it’s not exactly what some people might have been expecting - with that being said, the Cupertino tech giant announced (sans big event) the debut of its newest MacBook Air models, which now come equipped with the M3 chip, one of Apple’s most powerful computer processors to date. As such, Apple also offers the M3 MacBook Air in two variants, with a more compact 13-inch display model, and a larger 15-inch variant for users who’d like a bit more screen real estate. Aside from upgrades in processing power though, what can we expect with the new MacBook models? Display and External Design Despite coming in two different screen sizes, Apple states that both models come with the same specs in terms of display hardware. The M3 Air features Apple’s trademarked Liquid Retina Display with up to 500 nits of brightness, encased in aluminium shells which come in several colour variants including midnight, starlight, silver and space grey. For physical connectivity, the M3 Air packs MagSafe charging and two USB-C ports for connecting accessories, along with a 3.5mm headphone jack. Interestingly, there’s now added support for two external displays (with the laptop closed), although it does retain a lot of the usual hardware components that Apple includes with its laptops, such as a Touch ID button, FaceTime camera, and spatial audio support. Performance with M3 Apple M-series chips have always been some of the most impressive processors in the industry, and the company boasts that the new MacBook Air comes with significant strides in overall performance. Apple says that this is due to the M3’s 3nm structure, which packs an 8-core CPU, up to a 10-core GPU, and support for up to 24GB of unified memory. Interestingly though, Apple’s promotional product listing compares the M3’s performance to that of the M1 from a few years ago, instead of the more recent M2-family processors. The M3 Air also comes with a 16-core Neural Engine, which Apple says is an ideal setup for AI-integrated tasks, including support for AI models, large language models (LLMs) and diffusion models for image generation locally with great performance. For software, the M3 Air ships with macOS Sonoma, which is the current iteration of Apple’s desktop operating system. Of course, this means that you get all the core Apple desktop programs, as well as apps that are designed to sync with the rest of Apple’s extensive hardware ecosystem, including iPhones, iPads, and Watches. Pricing and Availability If you’re interested in grabbing the new MacBook Air M3, you can order Apple’s latest laptop starting Monday, March 4 via Apple’s online store as well as its physical retail stores, authorized resellers and such. The 13-inch MacBook Air with M3 starts at £1,099 and £999 for education, while the 15‑inch model starts at a slightly more expensive £1,299 price tag, and £1,199 for education. As mentioned earlier, both models are available in midnight, starlight, silver, and space grey. The MacBook Air M3 starts shipping on March 8. Read the full article
