There’s under two days left until Apple’s ‘Awe dropping’ event for all four iPhone 17 models, AirPods Pro 3, a trio of Apple Watch models, and more. That doesn’t stop last minute leaks, though – and we just got an incredibly interesting new leak for iPhone 17 battery capacities.

Apple’s ‘Awe dropping’ September event is just a few days away, taking place on Tuesday, September 9th. One of the wildcard products that we might see this Tuesday is AirTag 2.

Early last month, Bloomberg reported on Apple’s new in-house generative AI search product – with a new ‘Answers, Knowledge, and Information’ team. Despite this team’s recent formation, we might get to see the fruits of their labor much sooner than one might’ve anticipated.

Apple’s iPhone 17 event is just a couple of days away, but that hasn’t stopped the rumor mill producing some last minute morsels. A purported document from a South Korean carrier has indicated some tech specs about the iPhone 17 line.

We’ve heard for a while that the 17 Pro and Pro Max would get improved telephoto camera systems. This doc says it will actually go up to 8x, compared to the 5x zoom found on iPhone 16 Pro models. There’s also expected to be a dramatically improved cooling system …

The 77th Emmy Awards ceremony officially takes place next Sunday, where the biggest industry TV awards will be given out. But, the Emmys actually has so many awards they reveal some of the winners a week early.

Based on these preliminary results, Apple TV+ is set for success. In total, the service amassed 15 wins, thanks to its powerhouse players this season of comedy The Studio and sci-fi drama Severance.

In 2020, Apple surprised a lot of people by re-entering a neglected segment of the smartphone market: small phones. With iPhone 12 mini, Apple did something fairly special, by squeezing all of the same technologies of the iPhone 12 into a 5.4-inch form factor. Unfortunately, it didn’t live for too long, but thanks to a recent lineup change, a new window might’ve opened for its resurgence.

September has officially arrived, and with the new month comes the end of summer and the beginning of a busy fall for Apple. In the weeks ahead, there are several key dates to anticipate for Apple fans, even beyond the major iPhone 17 event set for September 9.

Apple IT teams have long struggled with the balance between local admins accounts on macOS and static or shared passwords across multiple devices. On one hand, these accounts are generally needed for updates, troubleshooting, and device recovery, but on the other, a static or shared password across multiple devices is a security problem waiting to happen. If someone leaves, you really should update them, but I suspect this often doesn’t happen. EasyLAPS aims to solve that problem by automatically rotating and securely storing each Mac’s local admin password in your device management system (more on how later). It’s a set-it-and-forget-it approach that removes one of enterprise Mac deployments’ most common weak points.

The stars of Gavin and Stacey, one of the most popular BBC series in the UK, are set to write, produce and act in a new Apple TV+ drama, according to the Daily Mail. James Corden and Ruth Jones have apparently signed a deal with Apple on a new series set to go into production next year.
