M1X MacBook Pro to Be Released Soon, GPU May Be Up to 32GB

Apple's second event of 2021 is rumored to take place later this month. The MacBook Pro with an M1X chip will be released at this event.

Apple urgently released  :a[security updates]{href=https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212807 rel=nofollow} to iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS after researchers found an NSO Group’s spyware in iPhone.

On Monday, researchers at the  :a[Citizen Lab]{href=https://citizenlab.ca/ rel=nofollow}, a cybersecurity regulator at the University of Toronto, discovered that the iPhone of a Saudi militant was infected with NSO's advanced spyware Pegasus. This spyware can turn on the user's camera and microphone, record messages, texts, emails, and phone calls, and send them back to NSO's customers in governments around the world. Not just the iPhone, all Apple devices may also be affected. After the news came out, Apple urgently released a patch to the vulnerability.

Go and update your iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch now.

Apple Patches an NSO Group Spyware Flaw

Apple urgently released security updates to iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS after researchers found an NSO Group’s spyware in iPhone.

According to a Twitter post by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple may host two events this year.

Apple will hold a special "California Streaming" event on September 14, 2021. What to expect in this event are [iPhone 13](https://www.drbuho.com/news/iphone13-coming-launch-september) and Apple Watch Series 7. According to multiple media reports, the biggest changes to iPhone 13 will be a narrower notch display and the new add-in "Portrait Mode feature. The Apple Watch Series 7 will continue the design concept of previous Apple phones and tablets, with the dial size increasing to 41mm and 45mm.

![twitter-post-of-mark-gurman.png](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/twitter_post_of_mark_gurman_e4f8ccf19a.png)

As for the Mac and iPad, they may not be released until the next event. In the Power On column, Gurman said that a new MacBook Pro with the M1X chip is expected to launch in the coming weeks, but he didn't explicitly mention that it would be unveiled at a California streaming event. Gurman also revealed in July that Apple was continuing to develop its own chip-based version of the larger-screen iMac. The larger, redesigned iMac will replace the Intel version of the 27-inch model.

Apple is also expected to launch iPad mini 6 and iPad 9 this fall. Gurman said the iPad mini 6 would be similar in design to the latest iPad Air, but with the latest processor and the biggest redesign in the iPad mini's nine-year history. iPad 9 could come with a larger 10.5-inch processor and a faster A14 Bionic chip, and it will be cheaper.

Last year, Gurman successfully predicted three events for Apple. So, his news is still quite reliable.

Mac and iPad May be Launched in the 2nd Apple Event in 2021

According to a Twitter post by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple may host two events this year.

Apple will hold a special "California Streaming" event on September 14, 2021. What to expect in this event are iPhone 13 and Apple Watch Series 7. According to multiple media reports, the biggest changes to iPhone 13 will be a narrower notch display and the new add-in "Portrait Mode feature. The Apple Watch Series 7 will continue the design concept of previous Apple phones and tablets, with the dial size increasing to 41mm and 45mm.

Apple officials announced that the time of the 2021 fall event will be at 10 a.m. P.D.T on September 14. Some new products will be introduced at this conference. The most concerned is undoubtedly iPhone 13. iPhone 13 is the second 5G phone that Apple fans have been waiting for. There will be four models in this series, including the iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Compared with the iPhone 12, the iPhone 13 is likely to have significant improvements in design, performance and other aspects.

iPhone 13 comes with a second 5nm A-series chip, the A15. Apple's A-series bionic chips have always been ahead of Snapdragon chips. The A15 chip is also a 5G chip. But compared to the A14, the A15 offers a performance boost of more than 20%.

Another notable improvement of the iPhone 13 is its notch display. It will become narrower, which can greatly improve the visual effect.

Moreover, according to supply chain sources, the high-end iPhone 13 series will feature a high-refreshed display for the first time and an LTPO screen from Samsung that can support a smart refresh rate of up to 120Hz. iPhone 13 not only runs smoother but also saves power.

Can't wait for the release of the iPhone 13!

iPhone 13 Launches on Sept. 14

Apple officials announced that the time of the 2021 fall event will be at 10 a.m. P.D.T on September 14. Some new products will be introduced at this conference. The most concerned is undoubtedly iPhone 13. iPhone 13 is the second 5G phone that Apple fans have been waiting for. There will be four models in this series, including the iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max.

According to the latest report by [Bloomberg Technology](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2021-08-29/who-will-replace-tim-cook-as-the-next-ceo-of-apple-aapl-ksxiq29z) reporter Mark Gurman, he believes that Apple CEO Tim Cook will launch Apple's first VR virtual helmet and AR glasses in 2025. He also mentioned that Apple is continuing to work hard on electric-powered Apple Car, and the time to market and launch the Apple Car has not yet been determined.

Mark Gurman learned from sources that Apple's employees believe that Tim Cook will wait until another revolutionary product is launched before leaving. The major new product type is likely to be AR glasses instead of Apple Car, because the latter's goal is still too far away to achieve.

In an interview with The New York Times in April of this year, Cook said that Apple is critical to the development of AR in the future. AR will change people's lives, and it will also make users' habits change significantly.

Kara Swisher of The New York Times asked Tim Cook if he would stay at Apple in the next ten years. Cook said that although he feels good now, ten years is too long for him, and he may retire in less than ten years. Cook was also asked about his plans after retirement. He said that he likes Apple very much and he hasn't thought about plans after retirement. He may not start thinking about it until he retires.

In macOS Monterey, FaceTime has many new features, such as SharePlay, Portrait mode, Spatial Audio, and so on.

Among these new features, the SharePlay feature is the most notable one. With it, you're able to share videos, songs, and screens with your friends while making FaceTime calls with them. 
Inspired by the Portrait mode on iPhone, the Portrait mode of FaceTime can blur the background and put the focus on you. 

The Spatial Audio feature makes the individual voice sound like it comes from the direction each person is on the screen. In addition, its Mic mode can isolate the noise in the background, making your voice sound loud and clear.

Besides, you can also customize a shortcut and share it with friends or online communities through a private link.

The Focus feature is an extension of the "Do Not Disturb" feature. It helps you concentrate on what you're doing by limiting the notifications, messages, and calls.

Currently, Live Text is accessible on photos in four places, including Photos, Screenshots, Quick Look, and Safari.
