Apple Loop: Sneaky iPhone 12 Price Cut, Leaving The iPhone SE Behind, New MacBook Pro Warning

 

Taking a look back at another week of news and headlines from Cupertino, this week’s Apple Loop includes details on Apple’s iPhone 12 launch event, the latest iPhone 12 images, the iPhone’s sneaky price cut, the future of the iPhone SE, a dangerous MacOS exploit discovered, the House Judiciary calls out Apple’s monopoly, why track and trace apps don’t work on older phones, and Spotify catches up with Apple Music.

Apple Loop is here to remind you of a few of the very many discussions that have happened around Apple over the last seven days (and you can read my weekly digest of Android news here on Forbes).

iPhone 12 Launch Event On October 13.

Apple has confirmed that it will be hosting an online event next week, with the long-expected iPhone 12 family set to be revealed on October 13. Apple is expected to launch four iPhone 12 models using the new A14 processor, the geo-location AirTags trackers, the AirPods Studio headphones, and possibly a HomePod mini. Along with the key image, Apple has tagged the event that will celebrate the delayed launch with the phrase “Hi, Speed!”. Stephen Warwick for iMore speculates on the event artwork:

“The event logo is orange and blue, with a mix of different sized circles. There isn’t much to glean from it, except that whatever Apple plans to announce is fast! Of course, the news also confirms that Apple’s iPhone 12 event will be fighting for bandwidth with Amazon’s Prime Day event, to be held on October 13 and 14.”
