News of October 7th (editor 史正丞)In his latest newsletter, well-known Apple whistleblower Mark Gulman added details of Apple's upcoming October new products, and also revealed that the US$3.8 trillion consumer electronics giant is approaching a wave of "executive change."
Goldman said at the same time,In order to allocate resources and Meta front, Apple also shelved the development of lightweight headsets and concentrated resources to launch AI glasses.。
Why do Russians already get the M5 iPad Pro?
As usual, after the release of the iPhone in September, Apple will launch another wave of new products in mid-October.
According to multiple explosives, it is currently basically possible to confirm the use of the latest generation of 3nm processing process N3P.The M5 chipIt will debut, with the first product being iPad Pro.
The scientific and technological community is shocked.Last week a Russian blogger released a video of the opening of the new iPad Pro.The same team also demonstrated the new machine publicly before the Apple M4 MacBook Pro was released.
Gurman said that before the release of new products, Apple will deliver new product inventory to warehouses around the world in advance, so that it can be quickly distributed to stores, distributors and consumers after the product is released.As the October new product launch is "imminent", Apple's European warehouse has already stocked new iPads. So these iPads may have been resold to these technology up owners after being stolen from the warehouse.
Judging from the test results of stealing in advance, there are almost no major changes in the appearance of the M5 version of iPad Pro. The main improvement is that the chip has been upgraded from M4 to M5.
But Gorman also said,The Russian video does not show the new iPad Pro's "front double camera system"As far as he knows, there is indeed a second lens in the test machine inside Apple, and if the layout of the camera is changed in the big later, it will be very blurred.
In addition to the iPad Pro, Apple will also launch an upgraded Vision Pro (code-named N301A) in October. The main upgrade point is also equipped with the latest chip and a new headband system. Earlier revelations stated that Apple has internally tested the Vision Pro equipped with the M4/M5 chip.
It is worth mentioning that another well-known whistleblower, Guo Mingzhen, made it clear that the new Vision Pro will be equipped with an M5 chip. Given that this is a device that sells for $3500, it makes sense to use the latest chips.
Gurman also revealed,In order to compete positively with Meta's popular AI glasses, Apple has set off to develop a lighter, cheaper Vision Pro, which is called Vision Air.。 The company has redeployed project resources and instead focused on developing smart glasses.
Apple currently has two devices in planning, one without a built-in display version likely to debut in 2026 and officially launch in 2027.
Gurman calls this "the right decision". He said: "Apple is a company that focuses on launching mainstream products. A head-mounted display device that is too bulky and expensive has nothing to do with mainstream positioning. Even if Apple can launch a lighter and cheaper version, the immersive experience of Vision Pro is still isolated and simply not practical for most people."
Apple’s management changes accelerate
As chief operating officer Williams, who is regarded as the "successor to Cook", leaves office this year, Apple's senior management, which is known for its stable personnel, is quietly ushering in a wave of change.
Gurman revealed that after Williams, more executives are expected to leave.
This includes unstable status.Director of Artificial Intelligence, John Janandredo.His team took a difficult step during the launch of "Apple Intelligence" and also crushed the key Siri full upgrade. Mike Rockwell, who was sent to take over the Siri upgrade, was once seen as the successor, but this possibility is decreasing.
It is known,Apple executives have begun looking at people from the outside.The objects considered include a “candidate from Meta.”Meta is undergoing a reorganization of the AI team, which could help Apple dig corners.
Two other people who may be close to leaving areApple Chief Hardware Officer Johnny Sroghi., andLisa Jackson, in charge of government affairs and social welfare programs。
Of course, the greater uncertainty comes from Cook.Apple's CEO will celebrate his 65th birthday next month, and Apple has lost a real second hand in this eye, a situation that is inevitably worrying.
Gurman revealed that considering the current situation of the US government, the continuation of Apple's leadership is particularly important. Even if Cook retires from the CEO position, it is still possible to continue to participate in company affairs-such as serving as chairman of Apple. In an emergency, Sabih Khan, the new chief operating officer, and Deirdre O 'Brien, the retail director, can also take the lead.
Gurman said that in terms of expectations to formally take over as CEO,Apple hardware engineering director John Tenas remains the number one candidateAnd Apple's internal expectations for this are also heating up.
The main reasons are two:Tenas is only 50 this yearIf everything goes well, he is expected to lead the company for a decade or more after his succession, a level that other prospective candidates can’t afford.In addition, after successive failures in technologies such as hybrid reality, AIGC, autonomous driving, Apple’s board of directors may prefer product engineering leaders like Tunus.
Judging from his performance on stage, Tenus also appears more in the spotlight. At the September press conference, Tenus was responsible for launching the iPhone Air, the first major new iPhone design in years, and has also appeared frequently in media interviews in recent weeks.
