Apple Pay arrived in Malaysia last month, and the local banks are trying to make their cards work with the payment service. Today, Maybank has announced that its American Express cards can also get linked to Apple Pay, starting from now on. 

Apple raised a few eyebrows recently after the tech giant decided to remove the physical SIM card slot from all the iPhone 14 models in the United States. With eSIM the only option for iPhone 14 series users, many raised concerns over the viability of using the devices while travelling abroad and Apple has since reassured consumers of the benefits of using eSIM while travelling.

Apple introduced a new lineup of premium and rugged smartwatches in its Far Out event recently called the Apple Watch Ultra. With prices starting at RM3799, the Watch Ultra has some impressive specs and features, though its cost for repair is accordingly high too; up to USD499 or ~RM2544 if you don’t have AppleCare+ coverage!

Apple is always putting its customers' safety first, and hence, the company is rumoured to be working on a feature that detects car crashes for both iPhones and Apple Watches. The fall detection on Apple Watches has received praises by saving multiple lives. Therefore, we trust that Apple has some ways of ensuring these features work as to how they're supposed to work.

Apple's venture into the electric car business might have now come to the next step. According to DigiTimes, the tech giant is meeting with Toyota to establish its new supplier network for the highly-anticipated project. Last month, sources claimed that Apple representatives have also met with South Korea's SK Group and LG Electronics for the same purpose.

Today, Apple made a big announcement on the new M1 iPad Pro and colourful iMacs. Besides that, the company also announced some mini news such as the long-rumoured Apple Card and AirTag, as well as a new iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini in purple finish. Here's everything you need to know about the things they announced earlier.

Based on a statement by Apple Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, it seems that this year’s MacBook Pro laptops are expected to come equipped with an HDMI port as well as a built-in SD Card reader. While not much is known in regards to the Malaysia release date, it does give us a better idea of what to expect when it is officially available in the global market.

Based on a statement by 9to5mac, it seems that Hyundai and Kia recently confirmed that they are no longer working with Apple to manufacture the Apple Car. With that being said, it seems that the Apple Car will not be available in the global market until much later.

Based on a statement by gizmodo, it seems that the discussion between Hyundai and Kia in regards to developing the Apple Car might have been put on hold. With that in mind, it is very likely that the driverless vehicle might be postponed for quite a while until further notice.

A car is not what you'd expect a company like Apple to be involved in building. But the company is looking to develop an electric car, by investing around RM14 billion in Hyundai. Moreover, the company's first electric car could be fully autonomous.
