Apple may finally update its old ass Thunderbolt Display
- It’s been over five years since Apple updated its standalone monitor
- Thunderbolt Display stock is limited or unavailable at several Apple Stores in North America, Europe, Australia according to a new report
- Dwindling supplies of Apple’s current Thunderbolt Display could indicate that the company plans to launch a gorgeous new monitor in the near future.
- It appears that Thunderbolt Displays are still in ready supply in some major cities, so the changes in supply could also simply indicate that Apple is dealing with fluctuations in its inventory.
You better get used to waiting 3 years for big iPhone upgrades
- According to one report, Apple is switching its big upgrades to a three-year cycle, which is why this year’s iPhone 7 will look just like its predecessors
- This year, following last year’s iPhone 6s series, we should be getting another major refresh — but we know that’s not going to be the case. Leaks have revealed the iPhone 7 is almost identical to the iPhone 6s
