Apple Loop: New iPhone Design Leaks, MacBook Air's WWDC Gamble, Apple's Powerful iPhone Advantage

Taking a look back at another week of news from Cupertino, this week's Apple Loop includes the new iPhone designs for 2018, production starting on the A12 chips, Apple issuing credit notes for battery replacements, a big decision over the MacBook Air, thoughts on WWDC's announcements, Razer's macOS graphics enclosure, Apple working with VW, and an important date for macOS. Apple Loop is here to remind you of a few of the very many discussions that have happened around Apple over the last seven days (and you can read my weekly digest of Android news here on Forbes). Apple is expected to announce three new iPhone handsets in September, and the one that is catching the most attention right now is the'replacement' for the iPhone SE - all the features of the iPhone X but in a much smaller form factor. Gordon Kelly reports on the latest leaks around the design of the super small smartphone: So what do we learn? That Olixar is convinced Apple will fulfill the dreams of millions of iPhone fans, by releasing a new iPhone X variant which crams a bezel-less front display and Face ID technology into a chassis the same size as the iPhone SE. Backing this up, Mobile Fun has passed me new CAD designs showing the new iPhone's dimensions as 121.04 x 55.82 mm (4.8 x 2.2-inches) - fractionally smaller than the 123.8 x 58.6 mm (4.87 x 2.31-inches) of the iPhone SE.
