While new iPhones are usually announced in September, 2020 has been anything but an ordinary year, so it should come as no surprise that Apple's plans will apparently be a little different this fall.

According to leaker Jon Prosser, who has a mixed track record, Apple plans to announce Apple Watch Series 6 models and at least one new iPad model during the second week of September. These products would be announced via press release on the Apple Newsroom.

Apple will still host its annual iPhone event, but during the second week of October, according to Prosser. iPhone 12 models would become available to pre-order within a few days of the event, while iPhone 12 Pro orders would begin in November, based on his information.

Apple is widely expected to announce four ‌iPhone 12‌ models this year, including a 5.4-inch model, two 6.1-inch models, and a 6.7-inch model, all with OLED displays, 5G, and a flat-edged design. While new iPhones usually begin shipping in late September, Apple recently indicated that supply will be available "a few weeks later" this year.

The analysts believe that this iPhone 12 model could launch around February and perhaps start at $799, but pricing remains guesswork.

The device could also sport fewer cameras and cheaper materials like aluminum instead of stainless steel to keep costs down.

Apple Takes Legal Action Against Small Company With Pear Logo
default.jpg Apple has taken legal action against the developers of meal planning app "Prepear" due to its pear-shaped logo, which apparently looks too similar to its own.

In an Instagram post, Prepear claimed that Apple "has decided to oppose and go after our small business' trademark saying our pear logo is too close to their apple logo and supposedly hurts their brand." The post goes on to describe the action as "a big blow to us at Prepear," and sets out its intentions to defend the logo and "send a message to big tech companies that bullying small businesses has consequences."

A petition on Change.org titled "Save the Pear from Apple" has already received over 67,000 signatures from supporters.

Apple Removes Fortnite From App Store After Epic Games Introduces Direct Payment Option
default.jpg Just hours after Epic Games introduced a direct payment option in the Fortnite app for iOS, Apple removed the game from the App Store.

The direct payment option allowed players to purchase 1,000 V-Bucks — Fortnite's in-game currency — for $7.99 rather than $9.99 through Apple's in-app purchase mechanism. The move was seemingly intentional in defiance of Apple's App Store Review Guidelines, with developer Epic Games calling Apple's 30 percent fee on in-app purchases "exorbitant."

The saga has quickly escalated, with Epic Games filing a lawsuit against Apple in California, referring to Apple as a "monopoly power" and accusing the iPhone maker of "unfair and anti-competitive actions."

default.jpg Logitech recently debuted the Folio Touch, a $160 keyboard and trackpad case designed for the 11-inch iPad Pro that serves as a cheaper alternative to Apple's $300 Magic Keyboard.

In our latest YouTube video, we compare the Folio Touch to the Magic Keyboard to see which one is better. There are some perks to the Magic Keyboard like a USB-C port, but at $160, the Folio Touch is definitely worth considering for those who are looking for an ‌iPad Pro‌ keyboard.
