  • We’re fully expecting Apple to announce the Apple Watch 4 later today, but the company appears to have slightly jumped the gun, as its sitemap files were seemingly updated to include links to the unannounced wearable in 40mm and 44mm sizes. If the sizes there are accurate – and they probably are given that they seemingly came from Apple’s own site – then the Apple Watch 4 could be larger than the Apple Watch 3, which comes in 38mm and 42mm sizes. This isn’t totally surprising, as an earlier leak

  • However, nothing referring to the rumored MacBook Air 2018 or iPad Pro 3 were found in the file’s contents. If Apple didn’t have URLs related to this new MacBook Air or iPad Pro prepared in the file that had leaked, then it’s relatively safe to assume that these products are, in fact, not prepared for an announcement. This would certainly line up with related rumors that Intel’s latest laptop processors are experiencing shortages, which would almost certainly hold up a MacBook Air 2018 release.

  • Microsoft made a big fanfare around the launch of its Edge browser last year: a reboot of the long-running Internet Explorer default web browser built into Windows. But the software giant is testing out new initiatives to ensure users stick with the default Edge browser, including ‘warning’ prompts when you attempt to download a competing browser. Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox are two browsers often touted as faster, more streamlined alternatives. pic.twitter.com/f7jk9sGvYA11 September 2018F

  • The iPhone XS is launching just hours from now, but while we’ve seen a handful of renders and pictures of components, we hadn’t seen any leaked photos of the phone in the wild – until now that is. The phone looks so similar to last year’s model that we can’t be certain that’s not what we’re looking at – although the iPhone XS is rumored to look more or less identical to the iPhone X. So we’d take these photos with a pinch of salt, but whether they’re the real deal or not they’re probably more or
