Macworld UK June 2020의 목차

Anew MacBook Pro is said to be coming in May and there are even rumours that a MacBook with an ARM chip could arrive as soon as June. But Apple apparently also plans to redesign its iMac desktop. If you find the 27in iMac a little too bulky and the 21.5in model a bit too small you will be glad to hear (via the China Times) that Apple could be planning to launch a 23in iMac in the second half of 2020. This is not a new intermediate size to sit between the 27in and 21.5in models – Apple will make the screen of the smaller iMac bigger by reducing the size of the panels around the display – just as it did with the MacBook Pro and the iPad…

At long last, Apple has unveiled the new iPhone SE, which is essentially an overdue refresh to the two-and-a-half-year-old iPhone 8. But even with a ‘classic’ design, at £419, it’s one of the best smartphone bargains around, with a blazingly fast chip, excellent camera and wireless charging. But even if you’ve studied the spec sheet and made up your mind to buy one, there are a few things you should know that you might have missed. 1. It doesn’t have a U1 chip The new iPhone SE has a lot of the latest tech inside it, but it’s missing one important chip that Apple introduced with the iPhone 11: a U1 chip with ultra-wideband technology. According to Apple, the U1 chip allows your iPhone to “understand its precise location…

Apple does a lot to help us find our misplaced iPhones, Apple Watches and iPads, and rumours strongly suggest that Apple is currently working on a Tile-like device that will allow us to find other items as well. Here’s everything we know so far. The latest rumour: AirTags referenced in Apple support video Apple isn’t trying too hard to hide the existence of AirTags. In March of 2020, it uploaded a support video to its YouTube account showing how to erase an iPhone. At roughly the 1:43 mark in the video – which has since been pulled – Apple shows how to turn off Find My iPhone, and in doing so revealed a toggle for turning off the feature ‘Enable Offline Finding’. In the feature’s own words, “Offline finding enables…

Apple has removed the beta label from Apple Music’s web browser player. You can now officially access Apple Music through your browser. This could come in handy if, for example, you’re sitting at a Windows computer without iTunes or borrowing someone’s device and just want to log in temporarily. Apple released a beta version of the web app as early as September 2019. Last month the feature finally left the beta stage. You reach it at music.apple.com. The web app interface is similar to the Music application in macOS Catalina, with the tabs For You, Browse and Radio. If you log in, you can access your playlists, favourites and so on.…

When Apple announced the new Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro – which features a trackpad that users can use to drive a cursor around on the iPad screen – some pundits pointed out that at long last, Apple was admitting Microsoft was right after all when it designed the Surface with a keyboard and trackpad. Except that’s not what happened. With iPad and Surface, Apple and Microsoft are both headed for the same destination – a new kind of computer that is just as at home as a touch tablet, with a stylus, or with a traditional keyboard and mouse. They’re just converging on it from opposite directions. Go with your strengths Both Microsoft and Apple are victims of their own success. They both start from very strong positions,…

It’s finally here. After years of rumours and leaks, Apple’s updated iPhone SE has arrived, replacing the iPhone 8 and reviving one of the most beloved iPhones of all time with a new look and upgraded specs. However, while the original SE was a restyled 5s, the 2020 version is basically an iPhone 11 in an iPhone 8’s clothing for just £419. Here’s why the new SE is more than just a new iPhone 8. Design, display, and size The iPhone SE and iPhone 8 are identical in size and shape (138.4x67.3x7.3mm) and both weigh 148g. They both have a single rear camera and vertically aligned flash along with a glass back. The only difference is the position of the Apple logo, which is lower on the SE to match…

The original Macintosh wasn’t the first consumer computer to use a mouse, but it was likely the first popular computer to include a mouse in every box. The Apple Mouse that came with the 1984 Macintosh was the first to popularize the concept of mouse-driven computers. The interfaces of the computers we use today are still dominated by the pointer-and-clicking paradigms that began back then. Why then, has Apple – a company famous for its attention to usability design – made nothing but awful mice for over 20 years? Where it all began The original Macintosh came with the original Apple Mouse. It was boxy with chamfered edges that sort of looked like the Macintosh, and had a single huge button – the days of multi-button mice were still years…

When Apple announced the new Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro, it decided to play coy about how much it weighed. The result is that, despite some accurate speculation, none of us found out for sure until last month when the first keyboards arrived in the hands of reviewers and customers. And so, during the midst of our global isolation event, we were all spared a couple of weeks of bad takes from tech pundits. Alas, those days are now over. But I’ve got good news. While the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro does indeed make an iPad Pro weigh as much as a laptop, you only have to buy one if you want to use your iPad that way. It’s your choice – and that says it all about the…

When Apple spends time to talk up a new technology that it’s excited about, you can bet people pay attention. So last autumn, when the company rolled out its new iPhones, featuring a custom-designed Apple chip, the U1, ears perked up throughout the tech industry. Spending the time and energy to design and build a specific chip confers immediate importance on ultra wideband, elevating it to the level of other endeavours that have become central to Apple products, such as the M-series motion coprocessors and H-series headphone chips. And yet, since that initial announcement, Apple has been largely mum about the applications of ultra wideband or the U1 chip. Has the company dialled back on its aspirations or is there more up its sleeves? Getting the wideband back together Ultra…

There is no doubt that the iMac is iconic and as beautiful as ever. But it has stood still for more than a decade while the rest of the industry has evolved around it. The iMac needs a makeover for the new decade, not just to ensure it continues to stand out, but also because there are a few problems with the current iMac design that we will discuss here. It’s not ergonomic The iMac screen might look nice but it can’t be positioned in an ergonomically friendly way. If you want to position the screen at head-height, so that you aren’t looking down at it, you need to position your iMac on top of something, such as a book (which is what we do since we are keen to…
