Same iPhone 8 chassis. New iPhone 13-class A15 chipset and 5G radio. Coming next spring. Those are the latest leaks surrounding the iPhone SE 3 or iPhone SE 2022. Whatever. But… this story actually absolutely fascinates me and for a couple reasons, because…

I've got Apple's new MagSafe Battery Pack, I'm unboxing it, I'm trying it out on the iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max, with and without a case, showing off AirPods charging, and comparing it to previous-generation iPhone Smart Battery Cases. Plus my first impressions! Oh, yeah!

So many leak bombs. So many Master Plans. So, so many release dates and prices, ends of Facebook, Wrong about, finallys, truths, confirmed, here you goes, and M1X and iPhone 13… galore. So. Much. Thirst. In all the titles and Tim Cook festooned thumbnails you see, I see, we all see, so always.

At WWDC 2021, Apple unveiled new interface designs for Safari on Mac, iPad, and iPhone. They're all radical but none as in-your-face radical as the iOS 15 version for the iPhone, which pulls the address bar to the bottom and hides a ton of controls behind a menu-hamburger button.

Apple has just announced the new MagSafe Battery Pack for iPhone 12... all the iPhones 12 — iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max. It's like the previous Smart Battery Case but, without the case. Yeah, just the hump!
