On today’s Pocketnow Daily, we talk about the latest iPad mini leaks, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 launch date rumors, and more.
The official news today begin with deals and yes, we still have a ton of deals thanks to Father’s Day. Feel free to skip this in the time codes, and to also remind Diego that my Wish list is still full. Anyways, starting with Samsung and Amazon, the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is currently 200 dollars off, leaving it at 1100 bucks. Keep in mind there might not be a refresh this year so this is not a bad deal at all. The regular OnePlus 9 is 43 dollars off, leaving the base model for 687 bucks. Sony’s Mark 3 Earbuds which just got a refresh are 52 dollars off, leaving them at 178. If you’re into Galaxy Buds, B&H currently has the Galaxy Buds+ for 50 bucks off, leaving them at 99 dollars. If you’re into really expensive over-the-ear headphones, the AirPods Max are currently 50 dollars off, leaving them at 500 bucks, and I know, they’re still overpriced? Finally, if you’re looking for a Microsoft Surface, the Surface Pro 7 is 150 dollars off for the Intel Core i5 variant, leaving it at 748. We have more deals on the AirPods Pros, other Microsoft Surface, Phillips Hue light bulbs and more in the links in the description. Let’s move on to Cupertino and the iPhone 13 and I know, it’s kind of early in the show to mention the iPhone 13 but it’s sort of a small update on it. According to a French website and recovered by 9to5Mac, some new iPhone models were just certified by the EEC. It gets interesting in that we have 7 different model numbers that I won’t try to read, all running iOS 14 which is the regular for devices that are still under development. Sadly, we really have no way of telling which model is which just from the model numbers but they are definitely some of the new iPhones. The number could be due to regional variants, but since last year we had 4 in the US and then different SKUs internationally, it makes you wonder. We’re expecting these iPhones in the typical September time-frame with the same 4 variants we got last year, though. When it comes to the Pros we can expect new 120Hz OLED displays with a smaller notch, new camera sensors that include sensor-shifting image stabilization, better lenses,1 terabyte storage options and more.
