The iPhone 14 launch date has finally leaked

Judging by precedent, the iPhone 14 will launch on a Tuesday in September, and a leaker has now given us a good idea of which Tuesday we should mark in our calendars.

According to the Apple-focused site iDropNews, based on information from its own sources, the Apple September Event in 2022 will take place on September 13 – that’s right in the middle of the month, basically when we expected it.

Take this date with a pinch of salt for now, because so far in advance, it’s possible that this date is just a placeholder for Apple. The company could push the date for a variety of reasons if needs be – and the leaker might just be wrong. 

The leaker does say that Apple will host one event on the 13th, and it might not be the iPhone 14 launch – but since Apple tends to host its iPhone launches on Tuesdays in September, the timings line up.

The leaker has suggested lots of extra gadgets are coming besides the iPhone 14, though there’s nothing mentioned that we haven’t heard before. Apparently, there will be four iPhone 14s (the standard model is said to come alongside a Max, Pro and Pro Max version), the Apple Watch 8 alongside an ‘Extreme Edition’ for more outdoorsy pursuits, the more affordable Apple Watch SE 2, the AirPods Pro 2, and the new iPad (2022).

With all those new products, it’s possible that the company will host two launch events like it did in 2020 – then, we saw new iPads and Apple Watches earlier than the year’s iPhones. If this happened then September 13 would likely just be for the non-iPhone devices, following the way it happened in 2020, with the iPhone 14 family arriving later.

Since Apple generally announces its launch events a week before they happen, we’ll likely have to wait until September 6 to see if something is happening on the 13th – though leakers might tell us what to expect first.

Last week Motorola unveiled the Moto G82. Now the company has quietly launched a G71s in China, but a quick look at the specs shows that it is very nearly the same phone. We don’t know what brought on the name change, but we do know that it is a small upgrade over the original G71 from last year.

You may have to rethink how you view Acer’s Swift and Aspire laptops. Today, Acer announced refreshes of both lines that include, believe it or not, gaming-class hardware.

In fact, Acer announced a sweeping refresh of its entire laptop fleet, including the Swift 3 OLED, a new Aspire 5, and many new entries in Acer’s eco-friendly Vero lineup, too. The company made the announcements in conjunction with its next@Acer event, held virtually.

Acer’s latest gaming laptops include a glasses-free lenticular 3D display

Acer is refreshing more or less its entire product lineup today. While its standard gaming laptops and creator-focused ConceptD machines get fairly standard processor and GPU upgrades, its newest high-end Helios laptop is more eye-catching. That’s almost literally true: it’s coming equipped with a rarely seen lenticular 3D display, and the software and publisher support to make it more than a gimmick.

Apple Watch Series 8 Rumored to Feature New Design With Flat Display

The Apple Watch Series 8 could feature an all-new design with a flat display, according to the leaker known as “ShrimpApplePro.”
In his latest video on the YouTube channel Front Page Tech, Jon Prosser highlighted information from ShrimpApplePro that suggests the ‌Apple Watch Series 8‌ could feature a flat display in what seems to be a design originally rumored for the Apple Watch Series 7.

On Twitter, ShrimpApplePro cited sources claiming that “there is a flat front glass display” for the Apple Watch. There is said to be a “high chance that this is the front glass for the ‌Apple Watch Series 8‌,” and while there is as yet no clear information about what the overall design could look like or which Apple Watch model the flat display could be destined for, it seems plausible that the information relates to the flat-edged Apple Watch design shared by Prosser last year.

It took Google years to do so but it finally brought YouTube Music to Wear OS last year. This allowed smartwatch owners to download music for later playback, but it unfortunately didn’t offer streaming.

Now, Google has announced (h/t: 9to5Google) that YouTube Music on Wear OS is indeed getting streaming over Wi-Fi or LTE networks this week. In other words, you don’t need to download specific tracks and playlists in advance.

You’ll need to be a YouTube Music Premium subscriber to take advantage of this capability, while Google adds that this is the first YouTube Music app for smartwatches that allows downloading and streaming without the use of a companion phone (cellular streaming isn’t available on the Apple Watch yet).
