The calendar has turned to September, which means new Apple products should be on the horizon! While the exact timing of announcements might end up being different than usual due to the pandemic, new products expected at some point this fall include iPhone 12 and Apple Watch Series 6 models, a 10.8-inch iPad Air with an edge-to-edge display like the iPad Pro, a smaller HomePod, over-ear AirPods headphones, and potentially even a new Apple TV and item tracking AirTags.

Japanese blog Mac Otakara this week reported that Apple plans to introduce the iPhone 12 and Apple Watch Series 6 models at a (presumably virtual) event in the second half of October. This rumor is supported by a reliable leaker who said Series 6 models won't be announced in September.

default.jpg

Increase the functionality of MacBook Pro/Air, iPad Pro, Windows and Chromebook devices with the ALOGIC 10-in-1 USB-C Super Dock.

The DP 1.4 capable Super Dock supports two displays in Extend or Mirror mode at resolutions of up to 4K60Hz via two HDMI 2.0 outputs on both standard USB-C (Windows) and Thunderbolt 3 (Mac and Windows) ports. This is allowed by the use of the latest DP Alt Mode and MST technologies along with magnetic dual USB-C connectors, which make the dock compatible with all USB-C devices.

The dock also provides access to 100W Laptop Charging (PD 3.0) to support larger laptops like the 16-inch MacBook Pro. In addition, it has a full range of other ports such as USB-C (100W PD & Data), USB-C (Data), USB-A (2 x USB 3.0), Gigabit Ethernet, 3.5mm Audio and SD and Micro SD card readers.

ALOGIC’s design innovation has allowed us to make the Super Dock small and easy to carry without compromising on any functionality. With the Super Dock, your portable device becomes a workstation capable of delivering all the performance you need whether at your desk or on the road. 

Back ALOGIC on Indiegogo today.

Apple Terminates Epic Games' Developer Account
default.jpgThe legal battle between Fortnite creator Epic Games and Apple continued this week.

As expected, Apple terminated Epic Games' developer account tied to its Fortnite app on August 28 after providing the company with 14 days to comply with its App Store Review Guidelines and notice that its account would be terminated otherwise.

Apple said this action is the normal process for all developer accounts that violate the App Store guidelines, and it was unwilling to make an exception for Epic Games. Apple maintains that Epic Games "created this situation" for itself, noting that it would be happy to welcome Fortnite back to the App Store if Epic removes the direct payment option for V-Bucks that started this controversy.
