The great title The Survivalists arrived on Apple Arcade
Last year, the Californian giant showed us a great new product in the form of Apple Arcade. This is an apple service that will make available to its subscriber a number of exclusive and sophisticated titles. A huge advantage of the platform is that you can enjoy the games on different apple devices. For example, you can start on your Mac, then move to the living room to the Apple TV and then enjoy the game in offline mode on your iPhone, for example on the bus. Everything is synchronized and you always continue where you left off (even on another device).
Apple is constantly trying to improve its gaming platform in cooperation with various developers. Precisely for this reason, subscribers can enjoy new titles on a fairly regular basis. Currently, The Survivalists has arrived in Apple Arcade, in which players must discover the secrets of the island, build, create things, trade, and even train monkeys. As the name itself suggests, the game is all about survival, as you are shipwrecked on a remote island. The Survivalists can also be played in co-op mode with up to three friends. The game can be played on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV, while it is also available for Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
Alongside the iPhone 12, the HomePod Mini will also have a say
The last 4 days separate us from the presentation of the new generation of apple phones. Currently, the Apple world is mainly talking about possible novelties and gadgets that Apple has bet on in the case of the iPhone 12. However, even the so far unremarkable HomePod Mini is starting to claim the floor. Today, on the Chinese social network Weibo, a leaker known as Kang shared with the world very precise information about all the products to be presented at the upcoming Apple conference, and of course there are details about the smaller version of the Apple speaker.

In addition, the mentioned post on Twitter was shared by a well-known leaker acting under a pseudonym Ice Universe, according to which this is the most accurate and comprehensive information about the upcoming HomePod Mini. So let's take a look together at what this potential addition could offer us. The performance of the entire device should be ensured by the Apple S5 chipset, which can be found, for example, in the Apple Watch Series 5 or the new SE model. However, the size of the device is interesting. Its height should be only 8,3 centimeters, while the classic HomePod boasts 17,27 centimeters.
Although the smart speaker from Apple is not yet officially sold in our region, we can get it from official resellers for less than 8500 crowns. But what about the price tag for the Mini version? According to information from the given leak, the Czech price should be around 2500 crowns. According to Bloomberg, the HomePod Mini should offer only two tweeters, thanks to which Apple was able to reduce production costs. The device could be seen on store shelves on November 16-17. But of course we will have to wait until next Tuesday for the keynote itself for more detailed information. Of course, we will immediately inform you about all news and introduced products via articles.
