Pavel Jelic Own 5G modems from Apple
Analysts Blayne Curtis and Thomas O'Mailey of Barclay said last week that Apple could introduce iPhones equipped with its own 2023G modems as early as 5. Among the manufacturers that could help Apple with these modems, according to the aforementioned analysts, could be the companies Qorvo and Broadcom. Other sources that confirm the theory about Apple's own 5G modems include, for example, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg and Mark Sullivan from Fast Company. The development of these modems was allegedly started last year, when Apple bought Intel's mobile modem division. Apple currently uses Qualcomm modems for its iPhones, including the Snapdragon X55 model for last year's iPhone 12.

Haptic feedback on MacBooks
Apple users can know the haptic response, for example, from their iPhones or Apple Watch. However, it is possible that Apple laptops will also receive this function in the future. Apple has registered a patent that describes the possibilities of placing components for haptic response in selected places on the laptop. In the description of the patent, we can read about placing hardware for haptics not only under the trackpad or in its immediate vicinity, but even in the frames around the computer monitor, where this technology could theoretically function as an alternative input device. The mentioned patent certainly looks interesting, but it is necessary to keep in mind that it is a patent whose implementation may not happen at all in the future.

AirPods 3 leak
In today's summary of speculation, there is also room for one leak. This time it is about the upcoming third generation of Apple's wireless EarPods, whose alleged photos appeared on the Internet last week. Wireless headphones from Apple have managed to gain quite a lot of popularity among users during their existence, and in addition to the two variants of the standard version, Apple has already managed to release their Pro version and the AirPods Max headset variant. What you can see in the images in the photo gallery are alleged renders of the AirPods 3 model, which Apple should present at its spring Keynote – which, according to available information, should take place on March 23. Allegedly, this is the final form of the headphones, in which it should also reach store shelves.
Macbooks have of course had a haptic response for a long time, located under the Trackpad.
