Revamped iMac Set To Launch This Year With Bigger Display

While all eyes are on the 5G-enabled iPhone 12 lineup set to debut later this year, Apple has some other big announcements set to debut, as well. This includes a revamped iMac that is currently in the works, which will reportedly be a substantial refresh that should catch the eye of those looking to take the plunge.
This information comes from the ever-reliable Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, who recently did a Q&A on Periscope with his followers about Apple’s product roadmap. The new iMac will reportedly feature a 23-inch display with a lower price tag , with the increase in display size likely coming from reducing the thickness of the bezels on the current 21.5-inch iMac.
There are many other things that were noted in this Periscope Q&A, which we’ll summarize via the following bullet points:
- 14-inch MacBook Pro will feature changes like increased screen size and scissor-switch keys
- There’s a big push to save the HomePod following lackluster sales, which will reportedly be done with a smaller, cheaper model with improved Siri support
- An improved Apple TV
- 16-inch MacBook Pro slated to launch around October or November
- AirPower is NOT dead! The company is still hard at work at making this device possible, though no information on when this may happen was shared.
- This year’s Apple Watch Series 6 will support sleep tracking
- AirTags coming later this year, lets you attach them to everyday items to easily find them via Bluetooth
- High-end over-ear Apple headphones coming this fall
- Apple’s vehicle development division still focused on self-driving technology, though nothing to announce yet
- Under-screen fingerprint technology is in the works, but will not be featured in iPhones this year
While this needs to be taken with a grain of salt considering that it isn’t coming directly from Apple, considering the source it’s very likely that most of this will end up panning out. As always, we’ll bring you more information as soon as it becomes available.

As Disney Speedstorm Ends, Arendelle Hits PS5, PS4

Disney Speedstorm, Gameloft’s free-to-play kart racer, will enter its latest season with a wintery backdrop of Arendelle. Let It Go will add Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff, and Hans as racers. As always, they’ll have unique moves and abilities.
Oaken and other musical movie crew members will be unlocked, along with a new Golden Pass. After fan feedback, the developer is rebalancing this aspect of the release so you can progress faster and unlock more rewards.
The developer also announced on Twitter that it’s lowering in-game shop prices starting today, and if you’ve paid for microtransactions, you’ll get a big payout. The French studio appears to be betting on this season’s success.
Adding non-Frozen characters Oswald, Ortensia, and WALL-E could also help. A comprehensive game update should bring back lapsed players and attract new ones. Will you challenge the kart racer?

New Destiny 2 Microtransaction Is Bad Bungie Removed It from PS5, PS4

Bungie has pulled a contentious $15 starter pack from Season of the Wish, which launched yesterday. The pack had a poor selection and was marketed to new players, which the community strongly opposed.
The starter pack proudly stated that players could “experience the power of build-defining Exotic weapons by instantly unlocking three of Destiny 2’s finest: Traveler’s Chosen, Ruinous Effigy, and Sleeper Simulant.” An exotic ship, a sparrow, a ghost shell, 125,000 glimmer, 50 enhancement cores, five enhancement prisms, and one ascendant shard are also included.
This offering may seem harmless to a new player, but Forbes’ Paul Tassi says, “You sort of have to be a Destiny 2 player to understand what an outrageously bad deal this is.” The Forsaken Pack, another Bungie release, includes two dozen Exotics, a dungeon, and a raid. It cost $20 and is now $5. It looks bad, from what we can tell.
Guardians retaliated with negative Steam reviews. They orchestrated the DLC page to include “Capitalism,” “Crime,” and “Psychological Horror” user tags, which is funny.
After Bungie pulled the pack, Redditor Grizz3d summarized the community response: “I don’t get how that starter pack was approved. What part of stealing from new players wasn’t going to result in community outrage? Bungie’s disconnect with players is shocking. I’m glad you got rid of the pack, but it’s disappointing that Bungie thought it was a good idea.”
This follows the Witcher 3 crossover armour sets, which look great but are expensive. Sony’s independent live service outpost is in danger due to a delayed expansion and studio layoffs.

PlayStation planted over 500,000 trees last year

Sony announced last year that it would plant trees for Horizon Forbidden West PlayStation fans who unlocked a simple trophy in the open-world game. This, in partnership with several charities, sought to protect the global environment and biodiversity.
Over a year later, it released a trailer showing its progress. The company has planted 600,000 trees worldwide, restoring 1,800 acres. More importantly, the gaming industry has planted 2.5 million trees worldwide.
Gaming is fun, but we must protect our world. Sony has taken steps to be more environmentally friendly, such as adding energy-saving features to the PS5 and shipping all its products in fully recyclable packaging.
