Apple's removable battery standard could change...
Apple's engineers are researching how to best make a series of standardized enclosures that would allow users to routinely swap batteries between higher-powered devices like an iMac, and lower powered ones like keyboards or other peripherals.
Multiple devices would use a standardized case to provide interchangeability between different brands.
If implemented, the technology could lead to a universal standard for battery interchangeability and could reduce or eliminate the need to plug every wireless device in to charge it.
The last Apple device with a "user replaceable" battery was the 2009 MacBook, making it 15 years since users could casually swap out batteries on an Apple mobile computing device to keep it going. Apple isn't alone in using built-in, non-replaceable batteries.

Season two of 'Severence' is coming — eventually
In a new interview on The Roommates Show, series creator Ben Stiller says that the show is still in production. The team behind "Severance" is still filming the show, and he anticipates that shooting will continue through April. Unfortunately, not even Stiller knows when "Severance" will return to Apple TV+.

A future iPhone could feature a curved surface that wraps around to give a screen on both sides.
Detail from the patent showing one form of wraparound iPhone display
Apple files countless patent applications every year, and it is granted something like countless minus one. Just because there's a patent, just because it's been granted, it does not follow that Apple will make whatever the idea is — except sometimes, surely, it must be very keen.
Perhaps especially now when Apple has been granted a patent — that it has already been granted. This happens when the company puts through an amended version after the original is granted, and very often it's close to impossible to spot what has changed.

The four colors are said to be Space Black, White, Gray, and Rose. In a clarifying comment, the leaker says that the color is not the return of Rose Gold, but at a glance, it's not all that different.
The existing iPhone 15 Pro color palette is natural titanium, black, white, and blue. The leaker says on the Weibo post that the blue has been removed from the color choices for the iPhone 16 Pro.

Consumers Sue Apple, Taking Page From Justice...
Apple has been hit with a flurry of new consumer lawsuits accusing the iPhone maker of monopolizing the smartphone market, piggybacking on a sweeping antitrust case lodged by the U.S. Justice Department and 15 states last week. From a report: At least three proposed class actions have been filed since Friday in California and New Jersey federal courts by iPhone owners who claim Apple inflated the cost of its products through anticompetitive conduct. The lawsuits, seeking to represent millions of consumers, mirror the Justice Department's claims that Apple violated U.S. antitrust law by suppressing technology for messaging apps, digital wallets and other items that would have increased competition in the market for smartphones.

DOJ Antitrust Lawsuit Says Apple Is Causing Android...
FrankOVD shares a report: Here's a paragraph from the DOJ's antitrust lawsuit against Apple in full: "In addition to degrading the quality of third-party messaging apps, Apple affirmatively undermines the quality of rival smartphones. For example, if an iPhone user messages a non-iPhone user in Apple Messages -- the default messaging app on an iPhone -- then the text appears to the iPhone user as a green bubble and incorporates limited functionality: the conversation is not encrypted, videos are pixelated and grainy, and users cannot edit messages or see typing indicators.

However, that may change. The company is now reportedly testing a new Apple Pencil with visionOS support, ...
