This week was Apple’s WWDC developer conference and we had a packed event. As per tradition, Apple has shown new versions of its smartphone, tablet, computer and smartwatch platforms.

It all started with iOS. We haven’t received an announcement about the always-on display, which means Apple will keep it as an iPhone 14 Pro exclusive for this fall. We got a big overhaul of the lock screen with the ability to change the date and time graphics, as well as move notifications down, making things easier to access and cleaner. Notifications themselves have gotten smarter.

Apple also unveiled the M2, its second generation ARM-based chipset. This is the base model that will power Apple’s entry-level machines, such as the new MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro, which got the processor as an upgrade.

The M2 is 18% faster in processing and 35% faster in graphics, all in the same 5nm process and low power consumption. The M2 has an 8-core CPU and up to 10-core GPU.

The new MacBook Air brings an updated design that finally retires the wedge shape introduced by the original Air in 2008 and replaces it with a new, flatter look. The new Air weighs in at 1.22kg, has a 13.6-inch 500-nit 16:10 display, an M2 processor, and starts with 8GB of unified memory and 256GB of storage for $ 1,199 / € 1,499.

The Pixel 6a broke the coverage once again, this time through a listing on Facebook Marketplace. The list is complete with pictures of the phone.

We now have a full review of the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra, the phone with a truly invisible under-display camera, a unique 35mm main camera, good battery life, and a stunning design.

This will do it for week 23. See you next time!
