This week: There should never be another iPhone mini

Top Apple engineer now heads AR/VR glasses development
- Dan Riccio, one of Apple’s top designers, is reportedly now concentrating all his efforts on the company’s virtual-reality visor and augmented-reality glasses.

Apple Maps will let drivers report accidents, speed traps and other hazards
- Apple Maps will start collecting crowd-sourced accident reports when iOS 14.5 is released. The beta version already lets users test sharing the locations of accidents, speed traps and other hazards.
How to set Spotify and others as your default music player in iOS 14.5
- The recently released iOS 14.5 beta gives iPhone and iPad users the ability to change their default music player for the first time. Third-party apps like Spotify and Tidal are supported, and switching is super-simple.
Tim Cook Featured on Outside Magazine Cover, Talks Health and Wellness
- Cook said that Apple Park is "like working in a national park," with a design that "brings the outside in and the inside out."
