From the rumored variable aperture cameras on future Pro models to the long-anticipated foldable iPhone and Apple Watch Ultra updates, I weigh the exciting hardware advances against growing privacy and data tracking concerns

Look ahead for the Apple event.
This one's from macrumors.com.
So some of the products that are expected at the September event,
I said, September, October.
So the iPhone 18 pro is to have a smart dynamic island is really
get a variable aperture main lens.
It looks that works more like a DSLR camera.
It's always the same thing.
Um, they're going to make a thinner device, improve the screen, better
battery, and of course improvements to the camera, which are phenomenal.
By the way, I'm just not.
Uh, I, I haven't upgraded since the iPhone 15 and it's has more to do
than the, it's not for the lack of upgrades that there've been since.
Um, it's the, the data tracking.
The privacy infringement that Apple has introduced since the iPhone 16.
Now, technically they all kind of have something to that extent since
I did the 11 or the 12 series, but the egregious amount of access that
Apple has gotten and given to their apps since 16 has pretty
much made it a no-go for me.
The only way they might get me is default.
So the iPhone fold Apple's first foldable is expected in fall 2026.
It's rumored some of the 5.3 diagonal external display and
unfolds to 7.6 internal display.
Does that sound familiar?
A book style design that resembles an iPad mini when it's open.
Then the new foldable could be super thin at 4.5 millimeters when open.
Yes, I know.
We just saw that with, with the Samsung device.
So this is the part that excites me though.
Um, because it might sound kind of silly, but I do not use face ID.
So to have touch ID fingerprint sensor built into the power button to bring
it back would be great, but to cost as much as $2,500 and it only has two
cameras, we don't know what Apple will call the device, but rumors suggest
it could be called the iPhone ultra.
Oh man.
Uh, I don't know, dude, that's, that's crazy.
But then the Apple watch series 12, which we were expecting it
probably just a chip refresh.
They're expecting the iPhone, uh, the iPad, the iPad mini eight, a home
pop mini two, a home hub, Apple TV, 4k.
And later this year, because there's four Apple events in total this year,
um, an old lead MacBook pro, uh, a revamped one, a Mac studio, a Mac mini
and Apple security cameras for their home kit.
And this is the one that.
That matters to me that we don't really know quite just yet.
So one of, not that I care about the iPad 12, but it's the Apple watch ultra four.
Uh, that's the one that I care about.
We don't know what features that might be added, but I have seen some of
the refinements done in some renders.
So it looks like we might actually get a little bit of refinement.
It's not really a facelift, but it's the first refinement to make it a little
thinner and not so bulky, um, since ever.
So we'll see about that.
Uh, there's AI smart glasses, AirPods five, and, uh, the M five max I max
that are looking, but, uh, for the next year, um, iPhone 18.
So the iPhone 18 has been being announced this year.
That's for next year.
Um, AirPods max AirPods pro the old lid.
I Mac, um, iPhone air tech.
I can't believe they didn't bring in the iPhone air to, um, the what's the other
one, the 20th anniversary iPhones.
And it'd be interesting because I wonder that they're going to make that one a.
Well, I don't even want to speculate because there's so many different things
I heard about it, but nothing really pushing it.
Um, but if it is like pretty much an entire screen, like almost entirely
of the screen, like something from the expanse, that'd be pretty interesting.
Very interesting.
Uh, you can follow me across socials at the on dress to go.
If you have anything, anything about me is at the end is to go to.com as
always, I'll see you in the next one.
