At the end of February 2024, Apple finally shut down its ambitious Project Titan car after nearly a decade. The New York Times published a detailed timeline of the project, such as spending $10 billion and meeting with a few car brands such as Tesla, Ford and even McLaren. In this news, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg shared more about other potential partners and other details during the journey. 

Yesterday, we reported that Apple has officially shut down its Apple Car project. The project went on for nearly 10 years and according to The New York Times, Apple spent over a shocking $10 billion budget.

In 2021, there were plenty of rumours regarding Apple working on an electric vehicle. Several tips claimed that Appl was involved with Hyundai and Kia (which failed) as well as with Toyota suggesting to begin production in 2024.

If you own an iPhone, this news might catch your attention. According to Reddit, Apple could introduce a new feature for Apple Cash. That said, what should you know about it?

Previously, we mentioned that Apple released the iOS 17.1.1 update to fix the BMW wireless charging issue. Recently, a similar issue has appeared. However, it’s not the BMW cars that are affected now.

Today, Wise has announced that its platform has launched Apple Pay and Google Pay for every Malaysian cardholder. As the first non-bank in Malaysia to offer it, Malaysian customers can now make contactless transactions by adding the Wise card to their iPhone or Android devices. 

Apple has long been rumoured to produce a foldable iPad, with many sources predicting it to be released in 2024. The latest of which is from reliable tipster Ming-Chi Kuo who agreed with the release time-frame and even went a step further by claiming that the foldable iPad will come with a carbon fibre kickstand.

Apple Pay officially entered Malaysia in August last year, though not many banks provide support for the feature at launch. Well, some 5 months later, it looks like Apple Pay is getting more traction, with HSBC being the latest bank to integrate the contactless payment feature with its credit cards. 

We have talked about the rumoured Apple Car before but it's been quite quiet until now. According to sources, Apple seems to plan on launching its electric vehicle by 2026 for under $100,000 for the masses. It's said to feature self-driving mode as well.

One of the new features found on the iPhone 14 series is crash detection, whereby the smartphone will automatically call emergency services should it detect you being in a car accident. However, it looks like Apple may need to iron out the feature a bit more as many users are reporting that their iPhone 14 series are triggering crash detection while on a roller coaster ride.
