What is Apple upto in 2021?

-
Apple is said to release a whole bunch of new tech in 2021 ranging from Apple silicon powered macs(and even pros) to iPad with mini LED displays and even something which could lead to a port less iPhone someday in the future. Here's a list of many of the new tech that Apple may launch in 2021 and some of the things that Apple might be working on to release in the distant future.

Macbook Pro

The latest M1 macbook air and macbook 13 are two very powerful machines in terms of CPU performance. Those laptops have the best battery in any laptop period, Apple is currently working on a 14 inch and 16 inch  macbook pro models for heavy users who need more computing power in terms of  CPU as well as GPU performance.

We don't know how they will implement this, they can either introduce a powerful integrated GPU or use discrete GPUs from other manufacturers in their machines. Apple is also working on a redesign with slim bezels and they may get rid of the touchbar. The touchbar is not something that most people use on their macs so Apple may kill it to bring the price down or to improve thermals in the machines.

The displays are also getting an upgrade, brighter panels with higher contrast ratios and possibly Apple may use Mini LED displays on the macbooks this year. Magsafe charging will be available in the next macbook pros and will allow charging at faster rates. The keyboards will have scissor switches and not the butterfly one that people hated and had many complaints with. But summing up, most of these upgrades are a return to what they were in the past like the magsafe charging, killing the touchbar and keyboards.

iMacs

Apples desktop computers have outdated design and run on Intel chips. The new iMacs will be running on Apple silicon with discrete GPUs or integrated ones and will have a design upgrade finally. They will have slimmer bezels and boxy sides like the pro display XDR does. 


Mac pro

The Mac pro is a  powerhouse designed for professionals who want the best performance out of an Apple product. Last years Mac pro was a powerful and very expensive machine with Intel internals.

This year, Apple is rumored to release a smaller version of the Mac pro with Apple silicon for those who doesn't need the maximum performance available, but something that makes their workflow easier and faster and doesn't have a huge price tag.

Apple is also working on a high end Mac pro with Intel internals that has all the bells and whistles with the mammoth price tag. They may also drop a new display to go with the new smaller Mac pro and will be cheaper than the current pro display XDR which costs about $6000 with the stand.


iPhones


iPhone 13 is alleged to have an in display fingerprint scanner and maybe a high refresh rate display for the pro models. Many rumors are also floating around suggesting that the next iPhone will be port less.
This may become true as Apple have introduced magsafe into their new iPhones so more people would start to rely on wireless methods. A foldable iPhone is also under development. This may not happen next year or so, but they are trying to develop a foldable iPhone to give Samsung some competition in the foldable market. 

                                                                                                                                    Credit: Getty Images
Airtags will also be launched this year. There is also mention of a much faster iPad pro with mini LED display. iPads have been using LCD screens for a long time and it is a much needed upgrade. All these information is sourced from reliable tipsters, but the final product may vary.

Apple Airpods Max vs Sony wh1000-xm4

When it comes to over-hear noise cancelling headphones, Sony leaded the industry with their wh1000 series. And now, the competition just got more stiffer as Apple introduced the Airpods Max. The latest and greatest noise cancelling king the wh1000-xm4 costs $350, but can be available for around $300, but Apple just dropped the Airpods Max with a price tag of $550, which got people thinking about it. Lets compare them to see that if Sony will remain the king or does Apple take the crown? Apple AirPods Max takes it from Sony in terms of build quality. Apple uses high quality stainless steel for the body, aluminum for the earcups and memory foam for the headband. They are superior materials in every way compared to plastic used in Sony. But dont take it wrong, the xm4 is also really built well and is really comfortable to use. In terms of sound quality Apple uses custom built 40mm drivers and they sound extremely good. The H1 chip inside both earcups provide computational audio with adapt

Qualcomm and Google announced their collaboration to simplify and bring 4 years of Android updates to smartphones powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon processors. Under Project Treble devices running on Snapdragon chipsets (from SD888 onwards) will receive security updates and new android versions for the next four years.  Project Treble will enable OEMs to upgrade their devices to the latest Android versions without worrying about Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset specific software. This is a huge leap in terms of android updates which is not always guaranteed in the Android world. OnePlus provides android updates to their devices for 3 years and recently Samsung also started providing 3 years of updates for their flagship devices. This will be divert some Apple customers into Android space because from the coming year Android smartphones with Snapdragon chipsets will be getting long term software support just like iPhones and increase the longevity of Android smartphones from 1-2 years to 4+ wit

Samsung Galaxy S21 ultra: Exynos 2100 vs Snapdragon 888

                                                                        Credit: Getty images for Samsung Samsung received a lot of hate due to the performance disparity between last year's Exynos 990 and the Snapdragon 865 which were used in Samsung flagships. The Exynos not only lacked performance in CPU and GPU department, but also was not power efficient and had thermal issues compared to the Snapdragon 865. Even the Snapdragon model clicked better pictures due to its better Image Signal Processor (ISP). Samsung has listened to our complaints last year and has introduced the new Exynos 2100 this year in their S21 series. The chip has the same cores and core configuration as the Snapdragon 888, but all the cores are clocked at higher frequencies than the 888. They are using the latest Mali G78 GPU from ARM for graphics processing. In an in-depth testing of both the Snapdragon and Exynos models of the S21 ultra by Gary from SpeedTestG , the results were quite interesting. The Exyn
