Taking a look back at another week of news and headlines from Cupertino, this week’s Apple Loop includes five new iPhones leak, the iPhone 12 is delayed, massive security problems with iOS and MacOS, the MacBook Pro’s sneaky price rise, the success of the iPhone SE, updates to the iPad Air, and an obsolete MacBook.

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 widely expected to be launching four models in the iPhone 12 family this year.

"The models show Apple will stick with the large display notch introduced with the iPhone X, retain the Lightning port and exclude the LiDAR sensor first seen on the new iPad Pro and tipped to be introduced on the iPhone 12 Pros.

This means the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max stick with triple cameras in a triangular array, though the new entry-level 5.4-inch iPhone 12 and 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Max will get dual cameras whereas the iPhone 11 has just a single module.”.

“The report [from Digitimes] goes on to say that production of the lower-end 6.1-inch model will begin earlier than the rest.

Last week saw Apple release updates to its various operating systems, including iOS/iPadOS and MacOS.

While the model with 8 GB of RAM remains at the same list price, the RAM upgrade to take it from 8 GB to 16 GB has doubled in price to $200. I looked at the issue earlier this week:.

As expected, Apple’s iPhone SE is racking up interest ahead of the expected jump in sales, with traffic reportedly three times higher than the current flagship. Gizmochina has more:

"According to a report from iPrice, Apple’s latest smartphone, the iPhone SE 2020, has come out on top, with the highest number of searches online

The new iPhone model retained the highest demand across 7 countries (Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Hongkong) in April 2020

The Apple mid ranger witnessed a search interest rise of a massive 206 percent, which was over triple of the Cupertino based giant’s flagship, iPhone 11 Pro.”

Given Apple’s push of the iPad as ‘your next computer’ this could create a lower tier entry into the platform. Tom Bedford reports:

"In an internal memo today, obtained by MacRumors, Apple has indicated that this particular MacBook Pro model will be marked as "obsolete" worldwide on June 30, 2020, just over eight years after its release
