We're on track to see a new iPad mini this fall, at least according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. In his latest Power On newsletter, he said that the new iPad mini "should be a go" for release this fall. Gurman said the design would be similar to the latest iPad Air along with the newest processor. It will be "the biggest redesign in the nine-year history" of the tablet.

According to Gurman, Apple is also working on a larger-screened iMac that's running on Apple Silicon. The "larger, redesigned iMac to replace the Intel 27-inch models is en route," according to Gurman, and it might come with a bigger display. It might run on an M1X or M2X processor.

Apple MacBook Pro models rumoured to get 1080p webcam

If this report is accurate, two Apple MacBook Pro models are getting upgraded 1080p webcams. Leaker Dylandkt tweeted that the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros will get "an updated, improved 1080p webcam" alongside the "entire Mac lineup." The first Mac to get a 1080p webcam is the 24-inch iMac.

MacRumors mentioned that Dylandkt had provided accurate information in the past. Back in November, the account shared that Apple will bring the M1 chip to the next-generation iPad, which we now see in the iPad Pro. And a few days before Apple's Spring Loaded event, the account posted that the new iMac will feature the M1 chip instead of the M1X chip.

Amazon wants to monitor your sleep with radar, too

Google's latest Nest Hub can track your sleep with the help of radar. It looks like Amazon wants in on this tech. The company received an FCC waiver that allows it to use 60GHz radar for sleep tracking. The company isn't shy about drawing comparisons to Google, citing the Pixel 4's radar as an example when asking for the waiver.

As Engadget noted, the tech can be used for gesture navigation, which can be helpful for people with speech or mobility impairments that prevents them from using conventional commands.

Amazon hasn't specified much about what products will use radar tracking. But it described the devices as "non-mobile," suggesting they could be placed permanently on, say, your nightstand like its Echo devices. We're going to watch for any updates from the company on this front.
