With a new week of news and headlines from Cupertino, this week's Apple Loop includes the new iPhone Pro designs and specification leaks, iPhone's tough future, an important NFC update for developers, thoughts about the upcoming MacBook Pro and Apple's tricky keyboard problems, why the iPod Touch is still coming soon, and the secrets behind the Apple card's stylish look.
Apple Loop is here to remind you of some of the many discussions that has happened around Apple the last seven days ( and you can read my weekly digestion of Android news here on Forbes ).

Sa With the expected iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR updates, Mac Otakara says Apple is preparing additional 6.1-inch and 6.5-inch models with OLED monitors, thinner chassis, similar triple setup cameras, but with larger sensors, inverted wireless charging and included 18W light-to-USB-C fast chargers.
Mac Otakara previously announced the new XS, XS Max and XR updates will be shipped with slow chargers and identical chassis while XR will keep its cheaper LCD display. All that indicates the introduction of a new flagship iPhone tier over XSes – potentially the long-awaited iPhone Pro & # 39; area.

We Must Don't forget that 2019 iPhones – no matter how many in the portfolio – have a tough task ahead of them. Credit Suisse's Matt Cabral has faced the challenge. Yun Li looks at the note issued to investors
:
It expects iPhone sales to decline by 12.4% in 2019 after falling by 3.2% in 2018. "iPhone is at a difficult place with units> 20% below peak when users hold their units longer than ever (4 years per CSe) and price increases have probably run their course.
"… Beyond macro, we see deeper structural challenges in China and do not expect a meaningful breakthrough without a major iPhone update, which is unlikely to be in 5G in CY20, says Cabral, the investment bank's director of equity research.
iPhone will update NFC Access
Apple appears to open up NFC options to third-party developers. The leak comes from the British Government and Home Secretary Sajid Javid as he talks about the release of the "EU Exit: ID Document Check" app. This was only available for Android last year when the iPhone could not read a passport's NFC chip. It changes, as I reported earlier this week :
When the app was launched, this feature was available on Android, but Apple's developer restrictions meant that it was impossible for third-party developers to use iPhone NFC circuits to Perform the same task. It meant that the app was only launched for Android.
For Javid to make the above statement, Apple must have modified the policy of NFC access. It is unlikely that this will be a unique feature of the British government, so developers can prepare to roll out NFC functionality from Android apps to the iOS-powered iPhone.
More details about the new MacBook Pro
After reports earlier this week that Apple delayed new MacBooks, several reports were observed that while MacBooks with new display technology slipped to 2021, It will be an update to the series in 2019 to solve the many hardware issues. Chaim Gartenberg reports :
Kuo's original 2019 date worked early given that Apple's current MacBook Pro design is barely three years old. But the current design has suffered a lot of criticism, including design flaws on the keyboard (which Apple still seems to struggle with, despite attempts to fix it last year), as well as problems with screen cables that die (called "Flexgate"). And while a 2021 update for the renowned 2019 laptop works early, it's easy to imagine that Apple might have tracked new MacBook Pro hardware before the regular update cycle to put those issues behind it, and then follow up with the Mini -LED version later when that technology is perfect
Perhaps the iPod Touch is "Still Coming"?
It was partly expected in March is smorgasbord of product launches, but an update to the iPod Touch remains tentatively excluded. Zac Hall looks at the options for the portable media player:
So if iPod touch is not dead, it just sticks around in the product line until it is and l one-to-one-slightly-spec-cast version ready, when can the iPod touch 7 show up?
Historically, the September products of iPod, along with new versions of iTunes, were saving for the fifth-gen contact that appeared in October. The current iPod touch made a surprising look in the dead mid-July.
For future iPod touch customers, it's the grain of hope. Apple can release new hardware at any time, and it sometimes means mid-July as last year's MacBook Pro revisions – or anytime of the year for that matter.

And finally …
Apple still likes to push a business message about being "masters in design "And while it may be relevant given the iPhone changes, the Apple card gives them a new canvas to work with. Typically, Apple has spent time designing a creative vacuum. Arun Venkatesan looks at the selected choices.
If the production process shown in the main note is similar to what is to be used for the end product, Apple's cards will also be created in a whole new way for credit cards. Most commonly used "metal" credit cards are a stamped metal piece or a slender metal piece laminated between two plastic plates such as the EMV chip, numbers and markings are applied.
Apple's video shows a card blank that is cut from a single sheet of titanium. Then a CNC mill cuts a space for the EMV chip to be inserted in a later step.

In addition to the expected iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR updates, Mac Otakara tells Apple to prepare more 6.1 inch and 6.5 inch models with OLED monitors, thinner chassis, similar triple array cameras, but with larger sensors, reverse wireless charging and included 18W light-to-USB-C fast chargers.

It was partly expected in March sandwiches of product launches, but an update to the iPod Touch remains tempting out of reach. Zac Hall looks at the options of the portable media player:
So if iPod touch is not dead, it just sticks into the product line until an easy-to-see-a-little shock version is ready when iPod touch 7 may appear up?
Hist Orally speaking, iPod products were shown in September, along with new versions of iTunes, and stored for the fifth-gen contact that appeared in October. The current iPod touch made a surprising look in the dead mid-July.
