The announcements will come just days after a federal judge ruled that Apple <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">$(AAPL)$</a> could no longer prohibit app developers from offering alternate payment options beyond Apple's own in-app payment service, in a signal of the increasing backlash against the dominance of big technology companies.</p>\n<p>But the average iPhone user is likely unconcerned with the machinations of in-app payments, and they will be Apple's target audience as the company rolls out its new lineup. The phones are expected to feature improvements to camera and video functions but have a similar design to last year's models.</p>\n<p>The rumored upgrades mark perhaps more incremental improvements to the iPhone, unlike a year ago, when Apple brought 5G connectivity to its handsets for the first time and changed the phone's design. The iPhone 12 lineup has been selling well, and analysts seem generally upbeat about potential demand for the iPhone 13 family as well, despite what could be a lack of blockbuster feature upgrades.</p>\n<p>\"Given an improved economy, expanded 5G coverage, and low 5G smartphone ownership, we expect the iPhone 13 family to receive an enthusiastic reception,\" wrote Monness, Crespi, Hardt &amp; Co. analyst Brian White.</p>\n<p>Here's what to watch for at Tuesday's event, which kicks off virtually at 1 p.m. ET.</p>\n<p><b>iPhone</b></p>\n<p>The iPhone has been the centerpiece of Apple's fall events and should be again this year.</p>\n<p>The company is expected to roll out four new phones, just as it did last year, featuring a similar design. One possible change from a visual standpoint is a smaller notch on the top of the phones, but otherwise the devices shouldn't look too different from their predecessors. MacRumors predicts that some rumored changes, like the disappearance of the Lightning charging port or the return of a fingerprint sensor, won't actually manifest in the upcoming models.</p>\n<p>Apple isn't likely to change the sizes of its phones this year, according to MacRumors, which is looking for the company to roll out a 5.4-inch iPhone mini, a 6.1-inch iPhone, a 6.1-inch iPhone Pro and a 6.7-inch iPhone Pro Max.</p>\n<p>The biggest improvements could come to the camera. Apple is reportedly planning to introduce a video version of its Portrait Mode setting, according to Bloomberg News, which would let users capture videos with blurred backgrounds. The company is also looking to add a ProRes recording capability that would allow for high-resolution footage as well as new photo-diting functions that would let people make pictures warmer or cooler, without affecting the white tones, per the report.</p>\n<p>There's also been talk of potential satellite capabilities in the next iPhones. Shares of satellite-communications company Globalstar Inc. surged after a report indicated that Apple was including low-earth orbit <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/LEO\">$(LEO)$</a> satellite communications so that users would be able to place calls or send messages without 4G or 5G cellular connections, but a second report suggested that Apple may limit this feature to emergency communications.</p>\n<p><b>Augmented reality</b></p>\n<p>Apple's landing page for the Sept. 14 event contained an Easter egg for iPhone users, allowing them to click on the Apple logo and view it in augmented reality on top of their surroundings. That suggests to <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EFFE\">Global X</a> research analyst Pedro Palandrani that the company could be planning a significant AR announcement.</p>\n<p>The \"easy answer\" is that Apple would introduce a new AR feature for the iPhone, but there's \"not much to do there at this point,\" Palandrani told MarketWatch. \"I wouldn't be surprised if we get to see some Apple glasses,\" he continued, referring to the oft-discussed possibility that Apple would develop a form of AR glasses. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a> Inc. (FB) recently unveiled its own pair of smart glasses.</p>\n<p>Whether Apple would be able to sell the hypothetical smart glasses immediately remains a question for Palandrani, given supply constraints impacting the broader consumer-electronics industry.</p>\n<p>\"Maybe they don't have the ability at this time to mass manufacture that type of device,\" he said, but in the near term, it's \"certainly a possibility.\"</p>\n<p>Evercore ISI analyst Amit Daryanani wrote that he sees \"a LONG SHOT that we finally get an AR/VR product announcement.\"</p>\n<p><b>Apple Watch</b></p>\n<p>Apple could be planning a design change to its next Apple Watch, as rumors indicate the company is looking to slightly increase its screen sizes and make the casing style more similar to what's seen on the iPhone 12 line.</p>\n<p>The Apple Watch 7 could come in 41-millimeter and 45-millimeter screen sizes, according to Bloomberg News, up from 40 millimeters and 44 millimeters currently. Bloomberg isn't anticipating any meaningful health upgrades, noting that a body-temperature scanner may not show up until next year's models come out.</p>\n<p>The devices are expected to have a flat-edged look, according to MacRumors, similar to what the iPhone 12 line sports. There were indications that Apple faced production issues with the Apple Watch 7, mainly due to the new design, but MacRumors cited a recent report from noted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who said that Apple has resolved its issues and still looks to be on track with its planned launch.</p>\n<p><b>AirPods</b></p>\n<p>Apple could also be set to launch a refreshed version of its entry-level AirPods headphones. Beyond the base model, Apple offers a Pro version of the earbuds and a set of high-quality, over-the-ear headphones, and Apple may borrow some features from those as it jazzes up its regular AirPods.</p>\n<p>To start, the company is expected to change up the design a bit, putting a shorter stem on the new AirPods, similar to what's seen on the AirPods Pro. A CNet roundup notes that Apple is rumored to be planning for the introduction of spatial-audio technology to the basic AirPods.</p>\n<p>Apple may intend to leave out noise-cancelling functions on this upcoming AirPods model, per a report from Bloomberg News that came out late last year.</p>","source":"lsy1603348471595","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Here's what Apple is expected to announce at its iPhone 13 launch event Tuesday</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nHere's what Apple is expected to announce at its iPhone 13 launch event Tuesday\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-13 15:05 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.marketwatch.com/story/heres-what-apple-is-expected-to-announce-at-its-iphone-13-launch-event-tuesday-11631480093?mod=home-page><strong>MarketWatch</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Apple looks to refocus on the iPhone after App Store legal blow\nApple is set to unveil new devices at a Tuesday event.\nFresh off a legal sting in its battle over App Store payment practices, Apple Inc...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.marketwatch.com/story/heres-what-apple-is-expected-to-announce-at-its-iphone-13-launch-event-tuesday-11631480093?mod=home-page\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{},"source_url":"https://www.marketwatch.com/story/heres-what-apple-is-expected-to-announce-at-its-iphone-13-launch-event-tuesday-11631480093?mod=home-page","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2167630550","content_text":"Apple looks to refocus on the iPhone after App Store legal blow\nApple is set to unveil new devices at a Tuesday event.\nFresh off a legal sting in its battle over App Store payment practices, Apple Inc. will be looking to refocus attention back on its technology with its upcoming iPhone reveal.\nThe smartphone giant is expected to unveil its iPhone 13 lineup -- as well as new smartwatches, headphones and possibly more -- during its annual fall event Tuesday.

The iPhone 12 lineup has been selling well, and analysts seem generally upbeat about potential demand for the iPhone 13 family as well, despite what could be a lack of blockbuster feature upgrades.\n\"Given an improved economy, expanded 5G coverage, and low 5G smartphone ownership, we expect the iPhone 13 family to receive an enthusiastic reception,\" wrote Monness, Crespi, Hardt & Co. analyst Brian White.\nHere's what to watch for at Tuesday's event, which kicks off virtually at 1 p.m. ET.\niPhone\nThe iPhone has been the centerpiece of Apple's fall events and should be again this year.\nThe company is expected to roll out four new phones, just as it did last year, featuring a similar design. One possible change from a visual standpoint is a smaller notch on the top of the phones, but otherwise the devices shouldn't look too different from their predecessors. MacRumors predicts that some rumored changes, like the disappearance of the Lightning charging port or the return of a fingerprint sensor, won't actually manifest in the upcoming models.\nApple isn't likely to change the sizes of its phones this year, according to MacRumors, which is looking for the company to roll out a 5.4-inch iPhone mini, a 6.1-inch iPhone, a 6.1-inch iPhone Pro and a 6.7-inch iPhone Pro Max.\nThe biggest improvements could come to the camera. Apple is reportedly planning to introduce a video version of its Portrait Mode setting, according to Bloomberg News, which would let users capture videos with blurred backgrounds. The company is also looking to add a ProRes recording capability that would allow for high-resolution footage as well as new photo-diting functions that would let people make pictures warmer or cooler, without affecting the white tones, per the report.\nThere's also been talk of potential satellite capabilities in the next iPhones. Shares of satellite-communications company Globalstar Inc. surged after a report indicated that Apple was including low-earth orbit $(LEO)$ satellite communications so that users would be able to place calls or send messages without 4G or 5G cellular connections, but a second report suggested that Apple may limit this feature to emergency communications.\nAugmented reality\nApple's landing page for the Sept. 14 event contained an Easter egg for iPhone users, allowing them to click on the Apple logo and view it in augmented reality on top of their surroundings. That suggests to Global X research analyst Pedro Palandrani that the company could be planning a significant AR announcement.\nThe \"easy answer\" is that Apple would introduce a new AR feature for the iPhone, but there's \"not much to do there at this point,\" Palandrani told MarketWatch. \"I wouldn't be surprised if we get to see some Apple glasses,\" he continued, referring to the oft-discussed possibility that Apple would develop a form of AR glasses. Facebook Inc. (FB) recently unveiled its own pair of smart glasses.\nWhether Apple would be able to sell the hypothetical smart glasses immediately remains a question for Palandrani, given supply constraints impacting the broader consumer-electronics industry.\n\"Maybe they don't have the ability at this time to mass manufacture that type of device,\" he said, but in the near term, it's \"certainly a possibility.\"\nEvercore ISI analyst Amit Daryanani wrote that he sees \"a LONG SHOT that we finally get an AR/VR product announcement.\"\nApple Watch\nApple could be planning a design change to its next Apple Watch, as rumors indicate the company is looking to slightly increase its screen sizes and make the casing style more similar to what's seen on the iPhone 12 line.\nThe Apple Watch 7 could come in 41-millimeter and 45-millimeter screen sizes, according to Bloomberg News, up from 40 millimeters and 44 millimeters currently. Bloomberg isn't anticipating any meaningful health upgrades, noting that a body-temperature scanner may not show up until next year's models come out.\nThe devices are expected to have a flat-edged look, according to MacRumors, similar to what the iPhone 12 line sports. There were indications that Apple faced production issues with the Apple Watch 7, mainly due to the new design, but MacRumors cited a recent report from noted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who said that Apple has resolved its issues and still looks to be on track with its planned launch.\nAirPods\nApple could also be set to launch a refreshed version of its entry-level AirPods headphones. Beyond the base model, Apple offers a Pro version of the earbuds and a set of high-quality, over-the-ear headphones, and Apple may borrow some features from those as it jazzes up its regular AirPods.\nTo start, the company is expected to change up the design a bit, putting a shorter stem on the new AirPods, similar to what's seen on the AirPods Pro. A CNet roundup notes that Apple is rumored to be planning for the introduction of spatial-audio technology to the basic AirPods.\nApple may intend to leave out noise-cancelling functions on this upcoming AirPods model, per a report from Bloomberg News that came out late last year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1096,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":817032348,"gmtCreate":1630889933084,"gmtModify":1631890103382,"author":{"id":"3572748086232657","authorId":"3572748086232657","name":"Asstroid","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b25dae15d343d649163f7e1e6e2e788d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572748086232657","authorIdStr":"3572748086232657"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks!","listText":"Thanks!","text":"Thanks!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/817032348","repostId":"1126654067","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1126654067","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1630885254,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1126654067?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-06 07:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is the U.S. stock market open on Labor Day?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1126654067","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"It is unofficially summer’s last hurrah for Wall Street investors.\nU.S. financial markets will be cl","content":"<p>It is unofficially summer’s last hurrah for Wall Street investors.</p>\n<p>U.S. financial markets will be closed for Labor Day on Monday, Sept. 6, marking a three-day weekend in the U.S., following what has been a mostly spectacular run for the stock market.

It's been a massive success for the Japanese gaming brand, but it's getting more difficult for Nintendo to post strong year-over-year growth rates after more than four years since its launch.</p>\n<p>After nearly doubling over the last five years, the stock is currently down 24% in 2021.&nbsp;Video game stocks are out of favor with the market right now, but that could represent an opportunity for long-term investors. Nintendo's valuation is starting to look very enticing as the stock is trading at just 13 times trailing-12-month earnings.</p>\n<p>Is Nintendo a steal at these levels, or is it a value trap? Let's first look at near-term growth catalysts.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/429d3a116235228babf2c63d6e365f8b\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"433\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>New releases</h2>\n<p>Nintendo has plenty of new releases coming out to drive sales this holiday season. First up is the new Switch (OLED model), launching on Oct. 8 for $349. The model is priced higher than the $299 for the regular Switch and $199 for Switch Lite, but the new version adds some features. As the name suggests, it has a more advanced organic light-emitting diode (OLED) screen that is slightly larger at 7 inches versus the regular Switch's 6.2-inch display. The other notable features are twice as much storage capacity (64 GB) and better sound quality.</p>\n<p>Some fans were disappointed that Nintendo didn't upgrade the internal processor. This improvement would have allowed for an even more appealing 4K display, which has become the <i>de facto</i> standard for hardcore gamers and smartphone users and would have likely gotten prospective buyers more excited. But Nintendo felt the need to avoid sticker shock heading into the holidays and skipped the additional cost of a higher-density display.</p>\n<p>Nintendo has historically relied on its exclusive software franchises, such as <i>Mario</i> and <i>Zelda</i>, to sell its hardware, as opposed to the other way around of trying to win fans with fancy hardware technology. That's the war <b>Sony</b>&nbsp;and <b>Microsoft</b> are battling right now, with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Nintendo hasn't had a problem selling tens of millions of units in most console cycles by sticking to its user-friendly designs, even if Nintendo's hardware generally trails the advanced graphics technology featured in the other consoles.</p>\n<p>It's unclear how well the OLED Switch will sell. Rumor has it that the regular Switch will get a price cut ahead of the holidays, which could keep it the most popular choice for new buyers. While Google Trends shows significantly higher search interest in the PlayStation 5 than the OLED Switch, the Nintendo Switch family of devices overall is receiving way more interest than PlayStation 5, which has outsold Xbox Series X 2-to-1 so far this cycle.</p>\n<p>Nintendo has a few games launching this fall to drive hardware sales. <i>Mario Party Superstars</i> launches in late October, but investors should watch the November release of two&nbsp;<i>Pokémon</i> remakes&nbsp;--&nbsp;<i>Pokémon Shining Pearl</i> and <i>Pokémon Brilliant Diamond</i>&nbsp;-- that should be best-sellers for the holidays.</p>\n<h2>Nintendo is flush with cash</h2>\n<p>It's also a bonus that after a profitable stretch of selling over 630 million software titles for Switch,&nbsp;Nintendo ended fiscal 2021 in March with $8.4 billion in cash and equivalents. Management recently announced a stock buyback&nbsp;of 1.51% of the company's total shares to return some of the excess cash to shareholders.</p>\n<p>Nintendo also maintains a policy to distribute a third of its operating profit via dividends every year.&nbsp;Management anticipates paying a dividend of approximately $1.70 per share for fiscal 2022,&nbsp;representing an above-average dividend yield of 2.8%.</p>\n<p>These are shareholder-friendly moves, especially the decision to buy back shares at these cheap valuation levels. Management is forecasting full-year sales to decline 9% in fiscal 2022, with operating profit expected to drop 22%.

It's been a massive success for the Japanese gaming brand, but it's getting more difficult for Nintendo to post strong year-over-year growth rates after more than four years since its launch.\nAfter nearly doubling over the last five years, the stock is currently down 24% in 2021. Video game stocks are out of favor with the market right now, but that could represent an opportunity for long-term investors. Nintendo's valuation is starting to look very enticing as the stock is trading at just 13 times trailing-12-month earnings.\nIs Nintendo a steal at these levels, or is it a value trap? Let's first look at near-term growth catalysts.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nNew releases\nNintendo has plenty of new releases coming out to drive sales this holiday season. First up is the new Switch (OLED model), launching on Oct. 8 for $349. The model is priced higher than the $299 for the regular Switch and $199 for Switch Lite, but the new version adds some features. As the name suggests, it has a more advanced organic light-emitting diode (OLED) screen that is slightly larger at 7 inches versus the regular Switch's 6.2-inch display. The other notable features are twice as much storage capacity (64 GB) and better sound quality.\nSome fans were disappointed that Nintendo didn't upgrade the internal processor. This improvement would have allowed for an even more appealing 4K display, which has become the de facto standard for hardcore gamers and smartphone users and would have likely gotten prospective buyers more excited. But Nintendo felt the need to avoid sticker shock heading into the holidays and skipped the additional cost of a higher-density display.\nNintendo has historically relied on its exclusive software franchises, such as Mario and Zelda, to sell its hardware, as opposed to the other way around of trying to win fans with fancy hardware technology. That's the war Sony and Microsoft are battling right now, with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Nintendo hasn't had a problem selling tens of millions of units in most console cycles by sticking to its user-friendly designs, even if Nintendo's hardware generally trails the advanced graphics technology featured in the other consoles.\nIt's unclear how well the OLED Switch will sell. Rumor has it that the regular Switch will get a price cut ahead of the holidays, which could keep it the most popular choice for new buyers. While Google Trends shows significantly higher search interest in the PlayStation 5 than the OLED Switch, the Nintendo Switch family of devices overall is receiving way more interest than PlayStation 5, which has outsold Xbox Series X 2-to-1 so far this cycle.\nNintendo has a few games launching this fall to drive hardware sales. Mario Party Superstars launches in late October, but investors should watch the November release of two Pokémon remakes -- Pokémon Shining Pearl and Pokémon Brilliant Diamond -- that should be best-sellers for the holidays.\nNintendo is flush with cash\nIt's also a bonus that after a profitable stretch of selling over 630 million software titles for Switch, Nintendo ended fiscal 2021 in March with $8.4 billion in cash and equivalents. Management recently announced a stock buyback of 1.51% of the company's total shares to return some of the excess cash to shareholders.\nNintendo also maintains a policy to distribute a third of its operating profit via dividends every year. Management anticipates paying a dividend of approximately $1.70 per share for fiscal 2022, representing an above-average dividend yield of 2.8%.\nThese are shareholder-friendly moves, especially the decision to buy back shares at these cheap valuation levels. Management is forecasting full-year sales to decline 9% in fiscal 2022, with operating profit expected to drop 22%. Some of that decline, however, is due to tough year-over-year comparisons against the phenomenal sales of Animal Crossing: New Horizons during calendar 2020. Nintendo said that sales of its first-party software titles grew last quarter when excluding the impact of Animal Crossing.\nMoreover, the company is currently executing a long-term growth strategy to expand access to Nintendo's intellectual property through movies, merchandise, mobile games, and theme parks, so I don't believe we've seen the end of growth at Nintendo.\nThe stock sells for a low price-to-earnings ratio of 13 and offers an attractive dividend yield, and there are promising growth initiatives underway to expand the audience for Nintendo's properties. Investors who hold the shares for a minimum of five years have a good chance of earning a solid return on their investment.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":445,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":887378690,"gmtCreate":1631988986210,"gmtModify":1632804956681,"author":{"id":"3572748086232657","authorId":"3572748086232657","name":"Asstroid","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b25dae15d343d649163f7e1e6e2e788d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572748086232657","authorIdStr":"3572748086232657"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Please like!

The announcements will come just days after a federal judge ruled that Apple <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">$(AAPL)$</a> could no longer prohibit app developers from offering alternate payment options beyond Apple's own in-app payment service, in a signal of the increasing backlash against the dominance of big technology companies.</p>\n<p>But the average iPhone user is likely unconcerned with the machinations of in-app payments, and they will be Apple's target audience as the company rolls out its new lineup. The phones are expected to feature improvements to camera and video functions but have a similar design to last year's models.</p>\n<p>The rumored upgrades mark perhaps more incremental improvements to the iPhone, unlike a year ago, when Apple brought 5G connectivity to its handsets for the first time and changed the phone's design. The iPhone 12 lineup has been selling well, and analysts seem generally upbeat about potential demand for the iPhone 13 family as well, despite what could be a lack of blockbuster feature upgrades.</p>\n<p>\"Given an improved economy, expanded 5G coverage, and low 5G smartphone ownership, we expect the iPhone 13 family to receive an enthusiastic reception,\" wrote Monness, Crespi, Hardt &amp; Co. analyst Brian White.</p>\n<p>Here's what to watch for at Tuesday's event, which kicks off virtually at 1 p.m. ET.</p>\n<p><b>iPhone</b></p>\n<p>The iPhone has been the centerpiece of Apple's fall events and should be again this year.</p>\n<p>The company is expected to roll out four new phones, just as it did last year, featuring a similar design. One possible change from a visual standpoint is a smaller notch on the top of the phones, but otherwise the devices shouldn't look too different from their predecessors. MacRumors predicts that some rumored changes, like the disappearance of the Lightning charging port or the return of a fingerprint sensor, won't actually manifest in the upcoming models.</p>\n<p>Apple isn't likely to change the sizes of its phones this year, according to MacRumors, which is looking for the company to roll out a 5.4-inch iPhone mini, a 6.1-inch iPhone, a 6.1-inch iPhone Pro and a 6.7-inch iPhone Pro Max.</p>\n<p>The biggest improvements could come to the camera. Apple is reportedly planning to introduce a video version of its Portrait Mode setting, according to Bloomberg News, which would let users capture videos with blurred backgrounds. The company is also looking to add a ProRes recording capability that would allow for high-resolution footage as well as new photo-diting functions that would let people make pictures warmer or cooler, without affecting the white tones, per the report.</p>\n<p>There's also been talk of potential satellite capabilities in the next iPhones. Shares of satellite-communications company Globalstar Inc. surged after a report indicated that Apple was including low-earth orbit <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/LEO\">$(LEO)$</a> satellite communications so that users would be able to place calls or send messages without 4G or 5G cellular connections, but a second report suggested that Apple may limit this feature to emergency communications.</p>\n<p><b>Augmented reality</b></p>\n<p>Apple's landing page for the Sept. 14 event contained an Easter egg for iPhone users, allowing them to click on the Apple logo and view it in augmented reality on top of their surroundings. That suggests to <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EFFE\">Global X</a> research analyst Pedro Palandrani that the company could be planning a significant AR announcement.</p>\n<p>The \"easy answer\" is that Apple would introduce a new AR feature for the iPhone, but there's \"not much to do there at this point,\" Palandrani told MarketWatch. \"I wouldn't be surprised if we get to see some Apple glasses,\" he continued, referring to the oft-discussed possibility that Apple would develop a form of AR glasses. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a> Inc. (FB) recently unveiled its own pair of smart glasses.</p>\n<p>Whether Apple would be able to sell the hypothetical smart glasses immediately remains a question for Palandrani, given supply constraints impacting the broader consumer-electronics industry.</p>\n<p>\"Maybe they don't have the ability at this time to mass manufacture that type of device,\" he said, but in the near term, it's \"certainly a possibility.\"</p>\n<p>Evercore ISI analyst Amit Daryanani wrote that he sees \"a LONG SHOT that we finally get an AR/VR product announcement.\"</p>\n<p><b>Apple Watch</b></p>\n<p>Apple could be planning a design change to its next Apple Watch, as rumors indicate the company is looking to slightly increase its screen sizes and make the casing style more similar to what's seen on the iPhone 12 line.</p>\n<p>The Apple Watch 7 could come in 41-millimeter and 45-millimeter screen sizes, according to Bloomberg News, up from 40 millimeters and 44 millimeters currently. Bloomberg isn't anticipating any meaningful health upgrades, noting that a body-temperature scanner may not show up until next year's models come out.</p>\n<p>The devices are expected to have a flat-edged look, according to MacRumors, similar to what the iPhone 12 line sports.

The announcements will come just days after a federal judge ruled that Apple $(AAPL)$ could no longer prohibit app developers from offering alternate payment options beyond Apple's own in-app payment service, in a signal of the increasing backlash against the dominance of big technology companies.\nBut the average iPhone user is likely unconcerned with the machinations of in-app payments, and they will be Apple's target audience as the company rolls out its new lineup. The phones are expected to feature improvements to camera and video functions but have a similar design to last year's models.\nThe rumored upgrades mark perhaps more incremental improvements to the iPhone, unlike a year ago, when Apple brought 5G connectivity to its handsets for the first time and changed the phone's design. The iPhone 12 lineup has been selling well, and analysts seem generally upbeat about potential demand for the iPhone 13 family as well, despite what could be a lack of blockbuster feature upgrades.\n\"Given an improved economy, expanded 5G coverage, and low 5G smartphone ownership, we expect the iPhone 13 family to receive an enthusiastic reception,\" wrote Monness, Crespi, Hardt & Co. analyst Brian White.\nHere's what to watch for at Tuesday's event, which kicks off virtually at 1 p.m. ET.\niPhone\nThe iPhone has been the centerpiece of Apple's fall events and should be again this year.\nThe company is expected to roll out four new phones, just as it did last year, featuring a similar design. One possible change from a visual standpoint is a smaller notch on the top of the phones, but otherwise the devices shouldn't look too different from their predecessors. MacRumors predicts that some rumored changes, like the disappearance of the Lightning charging port or the return of a fingerprint sensor, won't actually manifest in the upcoming models.\nApple isn't likely to change the sizes of its phones this year, according to MacRumors, which is looking for the company to roll out a 5.4-inch iPhone mini, a 6.1-inch iPhone, a 6.1-inch iPhone Pro and a 6.7-inch iPhone Pro Max.\nThe biggest improvements could come to the camera. Apple is reportedly planning to introduce a video version of its Portrait Mode setting, according to Bloomberg News, which would let users capture videos with blurred backgrounds. The company is also looking to add a ProRes recording capability that would allow for high-resolution footage as well as new photo-diting functions that would let people make pictures warmer or cooler, without affecting the white tones, per the report.\nThere's also been talk of potential satellite capabilities in the next iPhones. Shares of satellite-communications company Globalstar Inc. surged after a report indicated that Apple was including low-earth orbit $(LEO)$ satellite communications so that users would be able to place calls or send messages without 4G or 5G cellular connections, but a second report suggested that Apple may limit this feature to emergency communications.\nAugmented reality\nApple's landing page for the Sept. 14 event contained an Easter egg for iPhone users, allowing them to click on the Apple logo and view it in augmented reality on top of their surroundings. That suggests to Global X research analyst Pedro Palandrani that the company could be planning a significant AR announcement.\nThe \"easy answer\" is that Apple would introduce a new AR feature for the iPhone, but there's \"not much to do there at this point,\" Palandrani told MarketWatch. \"I wouldn't be surprised if we get to see some Apple glasses,\" he continued, referring to the oft-discussed possibility that Apple would develop a form of AR glasses. Facebook Inc. (FB) recently unveiled its own pair of smart glasses.\nWhether Apple would be able to sell the hypothetical smart glasses immediately remains a question for Palandrani, given supply constraints impacting the broader consumer-electronics industry.\n\"Maybe they don't have the ability at this time to mass manufacture that type of device,\" he said, but in the near term, it's \"certainly a possibility.\"\nEvercore ISI analyst Amit Daryanani wrote that he sees \"a LONG SHOT that we finally get an AR/VR product announcement.\"\nApple Watch\nApple could be planning a design change to its next Apple Watch, as rumors indicate the company is looking to slightly increase its screen sizes and make the casing style more similar to what's seen on the iPhone 12 line.\nThe Apple Watch 7 could come in 41-millimeter and 45-millimeter screen sizes, according to Bloomberg News, up from 40 millimeters and 44 millimeters currently. Bloomberg isn't anticipating any meaningful health upgrades, noting that a body-temperature scanner may not show up until next year's models come out.\nThe devices are expected to have a flat-edged look, according to MacRumors, similar to what the iPhone 12 line sports. There were indications that Apple faced production issues with the Apple Watch 7, mainly due to the new design, but MacRumors cited a recent report from noted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who said that Apple has resolved its issues and still looks to be on track with its planned launch.\nAirPods\nApple could also be set to launch a refreshed version of its entry-level AirPods headphones. Beyond the base model, Apple offers a Pro version of the earbuds and a set of high-quality, over-the-ear headphones, and Apple may borrow some features from those as it jazzes up its regular AirPods.\nTo start, the company is expected to change up the design a bit, putting a shorter stem on the new AirPods, similar to what's seen on the AirPods Pro. A CNet roundup notes that Apple is rumored to be planning for the introduction of spatial-audio technology to the basic AirPods.\nApple may intend to leave out noise-cancelling functions on this upcoming AirPods model, per a report from Bloomberg News that came out late last year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1096,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":898543516,"gmtCreate":1628513957435,"gmtModify":1631890103392,"author":{"id":"3572748086232657","authorId":"3572748086232657","name":"Asstroid","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b25dae15d343d649163f7e1e6e2e788d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572748086232657","authorIdStr":"3572748086232657"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Please like.
