Now that more brands have smartbands and smartwatches, it's important for leading companies to have new ideas to stay ahead. Apple seems to have a pretty good one too if it ends up becoming a reality. Specifically, we're referring to a patent for a unique smartband design.

According to a report from Reuters, India is hindering a bunch of imported goods that are built in China from a few tech companies. With that said, products including Apple's iPhone 12 series and wearables from Xiaomi and OPPO are blocked by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) from entering the country since August.

This year has been a challenge for the tech industry but it looks like Apple has pulled itself through. Despite some supply issues, the company still managed to bring the iPhone 12 series to the market with other products such as new iPads, new Apple Watch, M1-powered Macs, and more. Now, it's time for us to get to know what the tech giant has planned for next year! With that said, a tipster has suggested that many of the products will get redesigned including the Apple Watch.

DBKL recently posted an announcement on their Facebook page, stating that it is now possible to apply for a monthly parking pass via the EZ SMART PARK app found on either the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. In terms of the pricing, the monthly parking pass is priced from RM160 where you can park at either Zon B or Zon C while Zon A pass, on the other hand, allows you to park at any designated zones at the price of RM320.

Do you like having multiple monitors surround you? Great news because you can do that with the new Macs powered by Apple's M1 chip. As you know, some YouTubers have the greatest ideas, and one of them decided he wanted to hook up six monitors to a Mac.

Are you a Mac user that has the occasional need for Windows? Well, perhaps you'll be able to dual-boot on the new Apple M1-based Macs in the future. Or at least, that's what Apple VP of software engineering Craig Federighi has claimed.

It is worth mentioning that Apple doesn't only source from one manufacturer when it comes to building the iPhone 12 series. The company currently has Samsung and LG Display supplying OLED display panels to them. Other than the two, there's also BOE trying to join the supply chain but has failed. Now, it is reported the Chinese manufacturer couldn't pass Apple's validation the second time for some reasons.

Before Apple launches its new MacBooks, it was believed that the chipset used is the A14X Bionic. Whatever it is, the fact is that the TSMC-manufactured chip is powerful and future chips are only going to get better. Now, sources claim that the A16 chipset could be available as early as late 2021.

If you thought that performance was the main reason for Apple's transition to ARM-based M1 chips, you'd be wrong. Besides providing better performance and battery efficiency, there's another key benefit that Apple would gain from the transition - major cost savings.

Based on a statement by Mark Gurman, it seems that Apple’s MagSafe Duo Charger is able to achieve up to 14W per device while requiring a separate 27W USB-C power adapter that’s sold separately. Not only that, but if you were to hook up a 20W USB-C power adapter to the Apple MagSafe Duo Charge, it's able to achieve charging speeds of up to 11W.
