📊 Poll
Last week, I asked: Do you charge your iPhone overnight?
Surprised “yes” wasn’t higher, tbh
Here were some of my favorite replies:
Yes - “I wait till it’s about 5% then charge it that night” That’s actually hurting your battery! Charge throughout the day, try to never get under 20%
Yes - “It’s the most convenient time for me. I think along with the optimised battery charging feature, it’s makes it more worry-free to charge overnight.” Agreed, it has just become habit for me
No - “Because of fire risks, not from the phone, but from the block in the wall” If you use an Apple block, no need to worry about fires
No - “I read that its best to keep the battery between 20% and 80%, so I charge during my “awake” hours” That is true and not a bad idea!
This week: Do you enjoy reading about leaks for upcoming products? Or does it ruin the surprise for you?

👀 iPhone 15 & M3 Macs Leak
We are just a month away from Apple unveiling the iPhone 15, and the leaks are starting to pick up steam!
I made a video on the iPhone 15 & a video on the iPhone 15 Pro leaks.
Anyways, here’s the latest:
iPhone 15 Pro is said to have 6GB of RAM, not 8GB
I think this could just be for the base storage model, and the higher storage options could come with 8GB
The Fall Apple event is rumored to be on Tuesday, September 12th. Meaning iPhone 15’s should launch on Sep 22nd
Replica iPhone 15 cases via Majin Bu
USB-C components leaked, as shown on Twitter
Replica iPhone 15 Pro silicone cases leaked, and they show the Action button cutout
And for the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2, there’s a rumor that there will be a new magnetic watch band introduced as well.
The new band could feature woven fabric materials and a magnetic buckle, similar to the Modern Buckle strap that released alongside the OG Apple Watch
M3 Macs
Later this year, we will also see the first M3 Macs launch. But the new info here is what to expect next year with the insane M3 Max chip. Here’s the latest (via leaked test logs):
40-core GPU (vs 38-core on M2 Max)
16-core CPU, with 12 high-performance cores & 4 efficiency cores (vs 12-core CPU on M2 Max)
The test machine also had 48GB RAM, though there will be higher upgrade options available
Built on the new 3-nanometer process, which will lead to better performance/efficiency, even without the added cores
M3 & M3 Pro
The base M3 Macs will have an 8-core CPU and up to 10-core GPU (same as M2)
But the M3 Pro Macs will have a 12-core CPU & 18-core GPU
Meanwhile, the highest end chip - the successor to the M2 Ultra - hasn’t shown up in test logs yet.
If you still have an M1 machine, this will likely be the year you consider upgrading. M2 was cool, but I personally kept all of my M1 machines and returned the M2’s due to the negligible differences.
