As we edge closer to the expected unveiling of the next iPhones, the iPhone 16 series, there have already been numerous leaks, from different displays on some models to wider implementation of the exceptional tetraprism camera, more efficient OLED displays and an improved main camera sensor.

Apple has just announced two new Mac laptops: MacBook Air models with M3 processors on board, available almost immediately. This was surprisingly early: updated Air models were expected and the latest rumors predicted an announcement as soon as sometime this week. However, an announcement today is about as early as could be.

Apple shares have underperformed the broader market on a 6-month, 12-month and 2-year basis as rival Microsoft surpassed Apple as the world’s most valuable company.
