Next iPad Air Again Rumored to Feature Landscape Front Camera

The next-generation iPad Air will feature a landscape-positioned front camera, according to the leaker known as "ShrimpApplePro." In a post on social media platform X today, the leaker said the next iPad Air will not have any other significant design changes. Previous rumors and iPadOS 17.4 code have already suggested that both the iPad Pro and iPad Air will be gaining landscape-positioned front cameras, mirroring a change first introduced on the entry-level iPad 10. This change would result in the front camera being positioned at the top of the iPad when the device is in landscape orientation.

iOS 17.4.1 Update for iPhone is Imminent

iOS 17.4.1 and iPadOS 17.4.1 should be released within the next few days, with a build number of 21E235, according to a source with a proven track record. MacRumors previously reported that Apple was internally testing iOS 17.4.1 . As a minor update for the iPhone, it will likely address software bugs and/or security vulnerabilities. It is unclear if the update will include any other changes. As to be expected, Apple has also been internally testing iOS 17.5, and the first beta of that update is likely to be released this week. We consider it likely that there will also be a macOS 14.4.1 update for the Mac at some point, as there have been complaints about several bugs on macOS 14.4 related to USB hubs , Java , Bluetooth, printers, audio plugins, and more.

Apple to Announce New iPads on March 26, Rumors Claim

Apple is widely expected to release new iPad Air and OLED iPad Pro models in the next few weeks. According to new rumors coming out of Asia, the company will announce its new iPads on Tuesday, March 26. Chinese leaker Instant Digital on Weibo this morning claimed that the date will see some sort of announcement from Apple related to new iPads, but stopped short of calling it an official launch date. Instead, Apple could announce pre-order availability, with shipping dates to follow. Separately, Chinese website IT Home claimed that March 26 will see Apple release new iPads. However, the outlet appears to have interpreted this as a launch date based on when several Amazon listings for third-party protective cases for the new iPads go live, rather than specific information from a trusted source. According to Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman , Apple plans to release new iPad Pro and iPad Air models around the end of March or in April. That said, the well-connected reporter now seems t

Apple in Talks With Google to Bring Gemini AI Features to iPhone

Apple is in discussions with Google to integrate its Gemini AI engine into the iPhone as part of iOS 18 , according to Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman . In a report citing people familiar with the situation, Gurman claims the two companies are in "active negotiations" to let Apple license Google's generative large-language models in order to power some new features coming in ‌iOS 18‌. "The two parties haven't decided the terms or branding of an AI agreement or finalized how it would be implemented," according to the report's sources. With the release of ‌iOS 18‌ later this year, Apple is rumored to be bringing major new AI capabilities to its ‌iPhone‌ operating system. According to Gurman, however, Apple is focusing on features that operate on-device and do not require an internet connection. To power additional cloud-based generative AI features, such as the ability to create images and write essays based on single prompts, Apple is seeking a par
