I heard that it may be coming in the future, and I hope it does, because the alternative I found is very inconvenient. Do you think that we will see such a feature coming in the near future (maybe this year’s WWDC for next MacOS version and iOS 15)? Phil Rosa-Leeke #iCaveAnswers Hi David, I know this is a bit off topic from today's items, but a question it is. What is your opinion about smartphone companies increasing the battery sizes in their phones? Let's be honest, would many really complain if their "iPhone" etc was an extra 3 or 4mm thick. They could have the same battery as they put in now plus another layered one almost the whole size of their phone. Mikey #icaveanswers What do you think is the Stupidest/dumbest Thing apple has done? Not the Real Timeworks #icaveanswers Would you rather be like apple, (Do it last but do it Best) or like Samsung (Do it First but do it Bad) Why do you think apple is like it is Today A Youtube Account #icaveanswers Who do You think was the First real “apple leaker”? Gizmodo with the iPhone 4? Jack Welch #icaveanswers Did you know that Steve Jobs was NOT the first CEO The Duke of Kidderminster #iCaveAnswers What are your three most indispensable Mac utilities/ accessory apps? It might be nice to hear what other viewers’ ones are too. In case you’re interested, mine are: »BetterTouchTool- Greatly expands on Magic Mouse/ Trackpad functionality. Simply a must-have. »iCollections- Similar to the old app DragThing, this provides additional docks. »Typinator- My favourite text expansion tool. TextExpander or some tools in Alfred are also good options. Jim McInnes-Boylan #iCaveAnswers Hi Dave, What are your thoughts on a new gen 3 Pencil for the A14X iPad Pro? Do you expect the new iPad Pro to work exclusively with the Gen. 3 Pencil (if there is one) or would you expect backward compatibility with the Gen. 2 Pencil? (if the rumours are true about there being a size difference) Keep up the good work. Jim (Bolton) 3Stable Mews #iCaveAnswers Since we probably won’t see a touch screen Mac, do you think we will get something like an iPad Pro Max with a 27 inch screen with M1X processor on a swivel tilt mount like the Microsoft Surface Pro 7? Something suitable for an artist or illustrator or architect with a better Apple Pencil? Just holding out false hope. Slower Cuber #iCaveAnswers Are webcams good with the M1 Mini?

Everything we’re expecting at the #letloose #appleevent With the event just over a week away, while #ipad seem to be the main event, what else could we see at Apple’s first May event in almost 25 years? I’m iCaveDave and I simplify Apple so everything just works for you - and after we’ve talked about the event, there’s a bunch of audience questions, so stay tuned and drop yours in the comments with #icaveanswers So rapid fire, At the event we’re expecting iPad Pro in 11 & 13” sizes with new OLED displays, M3 chips, landscape focused FaceTime cameras, and potentially some kind of Magsafe charging, my guess being iPhone style puck chargers over Mac style Magsafe. These could also be getting new, aluminium MacBook style keyboards replacing the current Magic Keyboard and Trackpad, possibly even adding function keys. Then the iPad Air gets M2, Schrodinger’s MiniLED display in the 12.9” newer, more bigger model, with Ross Displayman saying it was coming, and then saying actually nah but maybe in Q4 something will get it - what now? Another new big iPad? I’m intrigued. iPad Air will also get the landscape cameras and I’d expect Magsafe, but who knows and what I’d love to see would be FaceID replacing the TouchID power button. But I don’t think I’ve heard anyone else suggest that could happen, so don’t hold your breath. Then, based on the release logo, maybe yet another Apple Pencil, because then they can have their own Steve Jobs 4 product grid. Why on earth are there so many? Who knows, but if they finally make use of the patent they have for a camera in the tip to sample colours from the real world, bring on Apple Pencil Ultra or whatever. What else? Maybe a new iPhone colour - Spring is the time for it and it still just about counts - and finally for the event I could see Vision Pro getting an international rollout. We’re hearing that US sales have just fallen off a cliff, so release it overseas instead of cutting production to keep momentum and if nothing else have it in way more developers hands ahead of WWDC when we’ll be getting VisionOS 2.0. Sadly I don’t think we’ll see any iPad base models or iPad mini updates, but we could get the iPad 9th gen with it’s lightning port discontinued, and maybe a price drop to $399 on the 10th gen? We can only dream. Right, on to your questions! @BradWendesPod #iCaveAnswers no new iPads in 2023 was unusual, now we’re hearing rumours of a 12.9” iPad Air, potentially with the mini-LED display from the iPad Pro. Do you think the delay and lack of iPads last year was to wait for new iPad Pro to have OLED before bringing mini-LED to the iPad Air? @Evan_Rodgers #icavediscussion I know you are a big fan of the M1 Mac mini with no plans on upgrading soon. What would you need to see or be able to accomplish with a new computer in order to recommend upgrades for current M-Series Mac owners? @teamkinetixmedia #iCaveAnswers rumours are that iPadOS 18 will have a calculator. How amazing is this calculator going to be after FOURTEEN YEARS in development‽ @robblincoln2152 #icaveanswers: Dave am I insane? I think Apple updates its chips and devices every year so that whenever people upgrade, they have the latest and greatest iteration of that device. Yet I hear grumbling that this is planned obsolescence by Apple. Seems to me the consumers benefit far more than they are “disadvantaged” by this policy. @teamkinetixmedia #iCaveAnswers Delta Emulator on iPhone looks great in a recent video by MaxTech. Retro Nintendo games on iPhone is very exciting. The app isn’t available in the EU but is available in the UK. So: 1) is this a Brexit benefit? 2) does this suggest that the UK won’t get sideloading or alternate app stores? @Pokemonscarlet18 #icaveanswers which AirPods do you own? Are you looking to upgrade anytime soon? @Pokemonscarlet18 #icaveanswers will be the m4 MacBook Air 15 inch be a big upgrade in terms of efficiency and performance?? Or will be a minor one like m2 to m3?? What’s the timeline for Face ID on Mac? @Pokemonscarlet18 #icaveanswers will we get an iPhone that’s over 7inches in the near future? I mean we’ll be at 6.9inch this year so it’s not that far off @Pokemonscarlet18 #icaveanswers are you excited for the iPad Air 12.9inch? What would get you to upgrade to the new iPads? Will Vision Pro kill the iPad down the road? @Pokemonscarlet18 #icaveanswers how far away is the new MacBook Pro redesign?? Will Apple be able to make it thinnner wile keeping slll the ports and battery life? I’d rather them keep the thickness but increase the battery life further what are your thoughts ?
