New emoji may appear in the upcoming ๐ฑ 18
The website of Unicode Consortium (an organization that decides which emoji make it onto people's phones) posted some samples of the next batch of emoji that could come to iOS:
โข Face with bags under eyes
โข Fingerprint
โข Splatter
โข Leafless tree
โข Harp
โข Root vegetable
โข Shovel
If Apple follows the trend, the new iOS 18 emojis should be available with iOS 18.4, which should come in late 2024 or early 2025.
With iOS 17.4, Apple has added several new figures, including mushroom, phoenix, lime, broken chain, and shaking heads in addition to 18 people and body emoji with the option to face them in either direction.

๏ฃฟ is testing improved versions of its built-in Music and QuickTime apps, which in iOS 18 and macOS 15 will gain support for smooth audio transitions and a new "Passthrough" feature.
The details surrounding this feature are unclear, but it appears to be related to Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos, with it possibly being a rebrand of the feature. Unlike Spatial Audio, however, Passthrough will apparently be available without
๏ฃฟ has already renamed different OS features and apps over the years, with iCal eventually becoming Calendar, and System Preferences being changed to System Settings with macOS Ventura. The company also plans to rename its user accounts from Apple ID to Apple Account, starting with iOS 18.

In this message the team explains that Apple informed Telegram that its bots are violating App Store policies by accepting payments directly from customers, bypassing Appleโs in-app purchases.
In response, starting June 12, Telegram will reportedly introduce a new internal currency 'Telegram Stars' which users can purchase through Apple, and then use it to pay for digital goods and services.

๐ฅ Apple's M4 iMac: what to expect
๏ฃฟ is planning to refresh the 24-inch iMac before the end of the year. It's working to overhaul the entire Mac line with AI-focused M4 chips, โiMacโ included.
What's known:
M4 chip
iMacs right now have the M3 chip, so the M4 will be a direct update. 24-inch โiMacโ and MacBook Air will be offered the M4 chip. Other Macs will get upgraded M4 Pro, M4 Max, and M4 Ultra chips.
Design
Last redesign of iMacโ dates back to 2021, and there are no signs that a new look is coming. The 2024 refresh will more likely focus on the internals rather than any design changes.
Release date
Back in April, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said that the 24-inch โiMacโ would likely see an M4 chip update "around the end of the year."
๏ฃฟ sometimes holds events in October or November. The โiMacโ was last updated in October 2023, so an October 2024 launch would come right.

Apple will be worth more than
WWDC event on June 10 gears up for a slew of AI announcements.
Introducing AI to its all-important developer community and laying the foundation for bringing generative AI to the consumer starts with Apple in our view. I expect the iPhone maker to announce a partnership with OpenAI.
Ives said.
With all of these features likely to be integrated into the upcoming iPhone 16 launch in September, Ives expects it could spark "a renaissance of growth" as more people upgrade their iPhones. Supposedly, the iPhone upgrade cycle could exceed a massive 270 million units.

Apple is preparing to spend a good portion of its WWDC laying out its ๐ง -related features
Apple's AI strategy emphasizes providing practical tools for ordinary users, with new features for core apps like Safari, Photos, and Notes.
Apple will apparently use AI to deliver the following new features:
๐ฉน Photo retouching
๐ค Voice memo transcription
๐ง Suggested replies to emails and messages
๐ Auto-generated emojis based on the content of a user's messages, providing all-new emoji for any occasion beyond the existing ones
๐ฑ Improved Safari web search
๐ Faster and more reliable searches in Spotlight
๐ค More natural interactions with Siri
โ More advanced version of Siri designed for the Apple Watch, optimized for "on-the-go tasks"
๐ Smart recaps of missed notifications and individual messages, web-pages, news articles, documents, notes, and more
๐ง Developer tools for Xcode
AI features that require less processing power will run entirely on-device, but more demanding tools will operate via the cloud. Apple will apparently tout the privacy advantages of this plan.

The new store location has been in development for several years, with hiring for the store beginning early last year. It was originally scheduled to open in February but encountered delays.
Apple already has some stores in the wider region, including in India, Thailand and Singapore.
Are there any people from the countries mentioned above?

๐ฑ You wanted a cheaper iPhone? The iPhone SE 4 is the answer
The new iPhone SE 4 could prove to be a much more attractive proposition than the current generation, and it's all thanks to the price.
The expected low-cost iPhone SE new features:
Design and size
A similar look to the iPhone 14, featuring a notch with โFace IDโ biometric authentication instead of a โTouch IDโ Home button, with a 6.1'' OLED display.
Notch
A notch, which is the design that Apple has used for iPhones since the 2017 โiPhoneโ XR or a โDynamic Islandโ instead of a notch, but that is not in line with other rumors of an โiPhoneโ 14-style design.
Camera
A single-lens camera, but upgraded to a 48-megapixel camera. The current โiPhone SEโ has a 12-megapixel camera.
A-Series Chip
A17 or A18 chip. The current โiPhone SEโ is equipped with the same A15 chip that was in the iPhone 13 models.
5G
An upgraded 5G chip with support for more bands.
Battery
The โiPhone SEโ 4 will use the same 3279 mAh battery as the โiPhone 14โ.
Cost
It could be priced starting at $429, the same as the current โiPhone SEโ, or increase 10 percent. But anyway Apple plans to keep the pricing below $500.
Release Date
Spring 2025, no refresh expected in fall 2024.

Rumors from different reliable sources suggest that Apple is working on a MacBook that has a foldable screen. In fact, it could be Apple's first foldable device, coming even before a foldable iPhone.
The report from Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo estimates that Apple could ship more than 1 million devices with a 20-inch folding display in 2026. The MacBook is expected to receive an M5-series chip, which lines up with the expected timeline of the M4 spreading to the whole Mac lineup by the end of 2025.
As for design, when unfolded, the MacBook could be used as a monitor when paired with a keyboard and a trackpad or mouse, and when folded, it could serve as a notebook machine. Presumably this kind of design would not have a separate keyboard, instead using an on-screen keyboard with digital keys and haptic feedback for a key-like feel.
It seems like a laptop with a folding screen could be the Macโs iPhone X moment โ a product that completely resets an entire product lineup, not just for Apple, but for the entire industry.
What do you think about it?

$12M fake Apple devices fraud case in southern California ๐ฐ
A scam involving "returning" some 16,000 counterfeit iPhones and iPads to Apple stores has resulted in five arrests.
๐ฑ A criminal ring operating throughout southern California has been charged with stealing some $12.3 million worth of Apple products by "returning" real-looking counterfeits that didn't work to Apple Stores. The stores would then replace the non-functional clones with genuine iPhones and iPads, which were then shipped overseas.
๐ฎ Five Chinese nationals living in the Los Angeles area were apprehended on May 30.
A similar crime ring using the same technique in 2019 "returned" over 10,000 China-made fake iPhones, defrauding Apple of an estimated $6.1 million. The leaders were eventually sentenced to between and four and five years in prison.
It's curious, how good the counterfeit had to be that the staff didn't notice that the product was fake on reception?!
