It seems Apple has a slew of hardware announcements in store for us this fall. In the Power On newsletter this week, Bloombergs Mark Gurman reports that Apple is gearing up to announce new MacBook Pro models, the redesigned Mac mini, the M4 iMac and a new iPad mini before the end of the month, and is targeting a release date of November 1 for at least some of these products. According to Gurman, were likely to see a low- and high-end 14-inch MacBook Pro, both packing the M4 chips. There will also be a 16-inch high-end MacBook Pro. As for the Mac mini, Gurman previously reported that the upcoming M4 Mac mini may be tiny compared to its predecessors, with a build roughly the size of an Apple TV box. The size reduction may also mean it drops the USB-A ports. Following the fall releases, Gurman predicts Apple will have a bunch of other products ready for early 2025, including a 13-inch and 15-inch M4 MacBook Air, along with a refreshed iPhone SE and iPad Air in both sizes.

Three new theft protection features that Google announced earlier this year have reportedly started rolling out on Android. The tools Theft Detection Lock, Offline Device Lock and Remote Lock are aimed at giving users a way to quickly lock down their devices if theyve been swiped, so thieves cant access any sensitive information. Android reporter Mishaal Rahman shared on social media that the first two tools had popped up on a Xiaomi 14T Pro, and said some Pixel users have started seeing Remote Lock. These three features actually appear to be rolling out globally, judging by all the replies I've received! https://t.co/IAj8NLcST0 Mishaal Rahman (@MishaalRahman) October 5, 2024 Theft Detection Lock is triggered by the literal act of snatching. The company said in May that the feature uses Google AI to sense if someone snatches your phone from your hand and tries to run, bike or drive away. In such a scenario, itll lock the phones screen. Offline Device Lock, on the other hand, can automatically lock the screen after a thief has disconnected the phone from the internet. You can already remotely lock your phone with Googles Find My Device, but the third feature, Remote Lock, lets you do so without having to scramble to figure out your Google account password. All youd need for this is your phone number and a quick security challenge using any device.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/mobile/smartphones/googles-theft-protection-features-have-started-showing-up-for-some-android-users-210634941.html?src=rss
