Apple Rumor Round-up: New Macbooks, iPhone 14, Apple Watch 8 Series, and More!
Normally most Apple news come in the week of its Worldwide Developers Conference. This year, though, it’s been followed by a flurry of leaks, speculations, and updates on almost all its gadget ranges.
TechRadar kicks things off with speculation/guesstimation that an M2 Pro chip could be part of new Macbooks by the end of the year and extend battery life to the point that the laptop runs a full day without a recharge.
Meanwhile Forbes has a series of rumors on the iPhone 14. It notes that in battery terms at least, the new Max variant will be much closer to the Pro Max than to the Pro. The 14 Max will reportedly have a 4325 mAh battery, virtually identical to that of the 14 Pro Max.
Turning to the Apple Watch, it looks like the disappointing lack of changes between the 6 and 7 series will continue with the 8 series. The only real advance of note is a rumored “Rugged” or “Extreme” edition that would include a more resilient design, extended battery life, and features such as altitude and GPS tracking.
The next Apple TV appears to have a more powerful processor and extra RAM to make it more suitable for gaming, disappointing those who were waiting for a cheaper model.
Finally, the anticipated (if not announced) augmented and virtual reality headset from Apple will reportedly have 16GB of RAM and run the M2 chip. That again suggests Apple is targeting power over price.

The Hilarious First Episode of STAR WARS: LARRY is Here!
If you have the time to listen, old Obi Wan Steven Ben Larry Bongjo Kenobi will tell you stories about the glory days. Stories you wouldn’t, and probably shouldn’t believe. Stories that don’t seem very important at first, but may end up being the most important thing to ever happen. If you’re lucky, he might even reveal the biggest mystery of them all: what’s with all the aliases?
The Last Human – A Glimpse Into The Far Future
The future of humanity seems insecure. Rapid climate change, political division, our greed and failings make it hard to look at our species with a lot of optimism and so many people think our end is in sight. But humans always thought they lived in the end times. Every generation assumes they’re important enough to witness the apocalypse and then life just goes on.
This is a problem because it leads to short term thinking and prevents us from creating the best world for ourselves and our descendants. What makes this worse is that we actually may live at an extremely critical moment in human history. To understand why, let us look at the temporal window of humanity and ask:
When will the last human be born and how many people will there ever be?
