<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Apple released a new version of Logic Pro X, its professional music production software, with performance updates for all users and optimizations that take advantage of the power of <a href="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2019/06/apple-unveils-powerful-all-new-mac-pro-and-groundbreaking-pro-display-xdr/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the all-new Mac Pro</a>. </p>

<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">As noted by <a href="http://www.macrumors.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>MacRumors</em></a>, Apple has registered seven unreleased Mac models in the Eurasian Economic Commission database today, including A2141, A2147, A2158, A2159, A2179, A2182, and A2251, according to listings uncovered by MacRumors. All seven models appear to be notebooks, as they are described as "portable" computers. </p>

<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Apple has filed for a patent (number 20190182972) for a “system with multiple display” that would allow two iPads to be linked together. It involves a magnetic stand configured to rigidly hold a portion of the tablet device in place and to shield the magnetic field from adversely affecting nearby devices susceptible to strong magnetic fields. </p>

<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Last month mophie rolled out a new line of universal batteries for everyday portable power. Available in four capacities, the <a href="http://www.mophie.com/shop/powerstation-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">powerstation</a>, <a href="http://www.mophie.com/shop/powerstation-mini-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">powerstation mini</a>, <a href="http://www.mophie.com/shop/powerstation-xl-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">powerstation XL</a>, and <a href="http://www.mophie.com/shop/powerstation-xxl-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">powerstation XXL</a>, each features multiple charging ports, including a shared USB-C input and output port. I’ve had a chance to review the most powerful of the three and have found the XXL to be a handy accessory for those frequently on-the-go.</p>

<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Apple has <a href="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2019/06/when-words-arent-enough-teachers-find-a-common-language-with-ipad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">a new article</a> on its Newsroom site, dubbed “When words aren’t enough, teachers find a common language with iPad.” </p>

<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><a href="http://www.catalystcase.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Catalyst</a> has introduced the 100% Waterproof case for the 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro. The company also revealed two additional colorways for the Special Edition AirPods case, pink and blue, to be exclusively available in select Apple stores and Apple.com. </p>

<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Apple is looking to lease a humongous office complex in the South Lake Union neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, according to the <a href="https://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/news/2019/06/11/sources-apple-expected-to-take-massive-south-lake.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Puget Sound Business Journal</a>. </p>

<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Nautilus, Inc., which specializes in fitness equipment, has announced that <a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.octanefitness.com%2F&esheet=51998009&newsitemid=20190611005942&lan=en-US&anchor=Octane+Fitness&index=1&md5=d2ca047260762991c1a6691c78a8c302" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Octane Fitness</a> is now a GymKit-enabled partner for the Apple Watch.</p>

<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Apple is in talks to buy Intel’s German modem unit, according to <a href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/apple-discusses-acquisition-of-intels-german-modem-unit?" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>The Information</em></a>, quoting four unnamed “people briefed on the discussions.”</p>

<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><a href="http://www.twelvesouth.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Twelve South’s</a> newest edition of the BookBook (Vol 2) has been updated for the 2018 iPad Pro. I’ve been using the case with a 12.9-inch iPad Pro (there’s also a version for the 11-inch tablet), and it’s as durable and eye-popping as you’d expect from Twelve South.</p>

<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Personally, I’m dubious that Apple will ever release foldable iPhones. However, as a new patent filing (number 10,318,061) for “flexible electronic devices,” we may see more “bendable” smartphones (and perhaps iPads and Apple Watches) from the tech giant.</p>

<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Omer Ismail, who leads Goldman Sachs's Marcus division, said the online bank is using the unique customer-first features of the upcoming Apple Card <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/goldman-exec-isnt-sweating-profitability-concerns-for-apple-card-2019-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">to gain a toehold</a> in a new market. Coming this summer, Apple’s credit card will be built into the Apple Wallet app on the iPhone, allowing customers to manage their card right on the smartphone. Apple is partnering with Goldman Sachs and Mastercard to provide the support of an issuing bank and global payments network. </p>
