Windows 11

Microsoft has announced Windows 11. Here are the most important features:

• New UI, including new Start Menu,
• The brand new store and support for Android apps on Windows,
• Snap Layouts -  allowing to easily arrange multiple windows,
• Faster and smaller updates,
• Microsoft Teams and Xbox Game Pass are now built into the system,
• Windows Widgets is an AI driven personalized feed,
• Auto HDR adds HDR to DirectX 11 and 12 games,
• Improved support for stylus and voice commands/dictating,
• It's a FREE update!

It all looks very good, but there is one catch - the system requirements. Windows 11 will require a 64-bit PC with UEFI firmware that is Secure Boot capable. It also needs a  Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 module. Some versions of Windows also require an Internet connection to complete the setup process.

iPhone rumors

There are some new rumors surrounding the 2022 iPhones:

• Apple will discontinue the 5.4-inch “mini” size,
• There will be only 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch size,
• Both new models will have improved wide-angle camera with 48 megapixels,
• Apple may include an under the screen Touch ID sensor for some models,
• Apple also plans to release a new iPhone SE that will support 5G.

Apple's unrealized plans

The trial battle between Apple and Epic gave us insight into the inner-workings of the Apple. One of the sources of information are internal emails. One email in particular is very interesting because it's an agenda for a Steve Jobs' meeting from August 2007. Back the Apple was working on some unreleased products:

• 15-inch MacBook Air,
• Mac tablet,
• new iPod shuffle.

The 15-inch version of the MacBook Air has never been released or even rumored. The Mac Tablet is probably the iPad, which was released 3 years later. And the last, the iPod shuffle has never actually got an update.

Windows 11 is coming?

It looks like a new version of Windows is on the way. Microsoft announced a Windows event for June 24th. Software giant has been teasing this for a while, and it looks like it will be the biggest update in a decade. Recently Microsoft has been added  small, but cool features to the Windows, so hopefully the new version will follow this pattern.
