| | | | | |  | | | We'd heard some rumors about a potential March media event, and Apple last week announced that it will indeed be holding an event next Tuesday, March 27. It's a bit of an unusual event for Apple in that it will be held in Chicago at Lane Tech College Prep High School and will have an education focus. What exactly Apple will announce at the event is up in the air, but the education focus could tie into rumors of new low-cost iPads and a new entry-level notebook that could arrive as either an updated MacBook Air or a cheaper MacBook. The design of the invitation also hints at the possibility of Apple Pencil being involved in the event. We'll have a closer look tomorrow at what to expect from Tuesday's event, and of course full coverage on the day of the event, so stay tuned! | | | | | | |  Backing up your iPhone regularly prevents unbearable data loss, but that’s not always an easy job to do.

Watch bands aren't really an education-related topic, however, so Apple issued a press release this week revealing its Spring 2018 collection that will go on sale later this month. The new lineup doesn't include any new band styles, but there are lots of new colors for the Sport Band, Sport Loop, and Classic Buckle. The Woven Nylon band gets a new stripe pattern with new colors, and there are also new Nike Sport Loop (sold separately for the first time) and Nike Sport Band options. Finally, the Apple Watch Hermès family gets some new color options with contrasting polished edge and loop colors. | | | | | | |  According to supply chain research by DigiTimes, the second-generation iPhone X planned to launch later this year could cost up to 10 percent less to manufacture than the current model, potentially letting Apple bring down the $999 starting price of the device. Apple is rumored to be launching three new iPhones later this year, including the second-generation iPhone X, a larger "iPhone X Plus," and an LCD-based iPhone with a 6.1-inch display. Apple is said to be starting trial production on the new iPhones a bit earlier than last year, which could help all of the new models launch in the normal September timeframe rather than the early November launch we saw for the iPhone X last year. | | | | | | |  Apple's interest in MicroLED display technology has been known since its 2014 acquisition of LuxVue Technology, and it looks like Apple is making progress with the next-generation displays. According to Bloomberg, Apple has a secret manufacturing facility in Santa Clara, California, where it is designing and producing test samples of its own MicroLED displays. It's still early, and Apple will almost certainly contract out mass production of these displays, but for now Apple is working hard to keep its plans secret. MicroLED, which can be more efficient, brighter, and thinner than current displays, could appear first in the Apple Watch in perhaps two years, with iPhones following in three to five years. | | | | | | |  The Apple Watch has great potential as a health monitoring device, and a new study by Cardiogram and UC San Francisco researchers has determined that the Apple Watch and other wearables with heart rate monitoring capabilities can detect abnormal heart rhythms with 97 percent accuracy. This is just one area where researchers are using the Apple Watch to monitor for health conditions, with others looking at hypertension, sleep apnea, and diabetes. | | | | | | |  In our continuing series pitting Samsung's new Galaxy S9 and S9+ against the iPhone X, our latest video takes a look at camera performance. Samsung has some unique features like a variable aperture lens, a super slow motion mode, and a more customizable Live Focus mode to compete against the iPhone's Portrait Mode, but both phones take excellent photos and videos. In other Galaxy S9 news, the traditional drop tests have been performed and revealed slightly better performance compared to the iPhone X, but that's not saying a whole lot — both phones shatter on the front and back when dropped from significant heights. The fact is, glass-backed phones optimized for wireless charging are extra susceptible to breakage, so it's best to use a case to help protect your expensive devices. | | | | | |
