Year in review: 5 changes at Apple in 2021
In the technology world, Apple is considered more than just a technology brand. It is an institution in itself that can perfectly balance public appeal and out-of-the-box thinking. Although things have changed under Tim Cook’s leadership, the core philosophy set by the late Steve Jobs remains the same. As a company closely watched by Wall Street and consumers, despite facing challenges from external forces, including the pandemic and increasing pressure from regulatory agencies, Apple has had a successful year. Although the world has begun to speculate about which products the Cupertino giant will launch next year and beyond, certain things we have observed this year not only tell us about Apple’s product strategy, but also give us a glimpse of the company’s vision for the future. Some people within Apple are very concerned about “mini” products and hope that the company will solve the market segment that still wants to use small-sized devices. The often misunderstood message is that these products are made only because a company with ample cash like Apple can take risks and is not too concerned about the business prospects. This is not how Apple works. Designing a product like the iPhone 13 mini is more complicated, because you know that it is difficult to install a larger battery in a small space, but the first task is to provide battery life that lasts a whole day. For example, the new iPad mini may look like a miniature version of the iPad Air, but the design of the mini indicates that it may become a product of a foldable device in the near future. In their current form, both the iPhone 13 mini and iPad mini are available devices, but they are also highly experimental in nature. In addition to laying the foundation for the new form factor, devices such as the iPhone 13 mini and iPad mini also give Apple an advantage over the competition because its competitors do not currently sell such devices.
Although Apple has provided “mini” branded devices in the past, the focus this time is on launching a series of products, including HomePod mini and Mac mini for specific use cases and users. The idea is to avoid associating them as “affordable” devices, even if in some cases the product is an entry point into the Apple ecosystem.

Tom Holland to star alongside Matt Damon in Christopher Nolan’s next, will juggle that with Spider-Man 4 in 2025
Tom Holland, last seen in Apple TV show The Crowded Room last year, has signed his next with Academy Award-winning filmmaker Christopher Nolan.

Tom signs Nolan’s next
This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.
Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).
Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.
Tom’s busy schedule
Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.
As Tom’s girlfriend and co-star Zendaya will be busy filming Spider-Man 4 in 2025, she’ll reprise her role of Chani in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi spectacle Dune 3 only in 2026. Meanwhile, Tom is also likely to make an appearance as Spider-Man in Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Doomsday, which will go on floors in the spring of 2025.
