Apple to reportedly launch a new web search engine

According to an Apple Insider report, Apple will launch a new user-centric web search engine similar to Google after January 2023. The information was based partly on conversations with sources and partly on inference.

Tech blogger Robert Scoble has explained the list of things that Apple is expected to announce at WWDC 2023. He has predicted that Apple will launch a search engine which will take on Google. “Oh, and a new search engine is coming too. Will Siri finally get ‘smart?’ Hmmm,” he wrote in a series of tweets.

Apple already has a search engine that supports Siri and Spotlight, so it doesn’t seem like a big deal for the company to expand into a full universal search service. According to previous reports, Google should pay Apple $15 billion in 2021 to remain the default search engine on iOS.

Apple might launch the M2 MacBook Air and the M2 Mac mini at WWDC. The devices will be powered by the M2 chip, which is the M1 chip. Along with MacBook Air 2022, Apple was also rumoured to be working on a new Mac mini with a M2 chipset and the Mac Pro.

Apple is expected to launch the latest iOS 16, iPad OS 16, watchOS, macOS 13, bringing the much-awaited Always-On Display (AoD) feature. Apple is expected to introduce them in the iPhone 14 line-up, which is scheduled to launch in September 2022.
