As we wait for the iPhone 16 launch and recount all the rumors, spammers are busy sending hysterical emails that are shockingly effective -- and the Mac has a chance to attack Windows gaming dominance.
Renders of the forthcoming iPhone 16 range
There are always last-minute rumors just ahead of an iPhone launch, but for some reason this year, so many of them are about the Apple Watch. And unfortunately, so many of the rumors are wild, wishful, and contradictory instead of having any basis in fact.
Whereas there is now the rather unexpected fact that Microsoft Windows could lose its long, long, long held crown as the platform for gaming. Apple has famously lagged behind, but as Windows slowly tries to copy its move away from Intel processors, a surprise opportunity is opening up.
That's going to take some years to play out, whereas "It's Glowtime" and the iPhone 16 will be known by Monday. When it's revealed in the Apple Event, though, there is another question -- will this event become a classic that we talk about and rewatch in the future?
