In the news

If Apple takes the same approach that it has for many years now, we will see new iPhones early next month.  In prior years, new iPhones were introduced on Sept. 12, 2018, Sept. 12, 2017, Sept. 7, 2016, Sept. 9, 2015, Sept. 9, 2014, Sept. 10, 2013, and Sept. 12, 2012.  There are lots of rumors on what will be introduced, but typically one of the best source for these predictions is Mark Gurman, now at Bloomberg.  Yesterday, Gurman predicted that we will see three new iPhones.  Unlike the current lineup (iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max), Gurman predicts that next month we will see a regular iPhone and two high-end iPhones called the iPhone Pro.  “The main feature of the Pro iPhones will be a new camera system on the back with a third sensor for capturing ultra-wide-angle photos and videos.”  Gurman said that the iPhone will capture three images from the three cameras and will then combine them into one photo, and also predicts that pictures in low-light situations will improve.  Other features will include improved water resistance, better iPhone unlocking using the Face ID sensor, updated screens, and faster processors.  Gurman also predicts a refresh for the iPad Pro line with better cameras.  My guess is that we will know for sure what Apple is announcing in less than three weeks.  And now, the news of note from the past week:
