News & Reviews:   Apple Arcade

Recently, Apple TV 4K finally got an update that lets it play YouTube videos in 4K. In that article, we wondered if Apple could make it so that it could do so in 60 fps and with HDR. Well, looks like the next Apple TV would have more than enough juice to deal with such high settings and also play higher-end games.

Sometimes, we discover things in places we don't expect. That seems to be the case for a new subscription bundle that Apple has been cooking up. Sources have found references to an "Apple One" subscription bundle within the Android version of the Apple Music app.

It's no secret that mobile game apps are doing very well in the Asian region compared to the West, business is booming and more attractive mobile game titles are being made for the market. Many of them can be downloaded for free on the Google Play and the Apple App Store, but the Apple Arcade has games that are exclusive and they aim to keep it that way with some new tweaks.

While the west has yet to embrace mobile gaming wholeheartedly, it has proven popular for the east particularly in the South East Asia region. Multiple mobile gaming eSports competitions have already taken off in a few countries and to know that Malaysia will be the host for the PUBG Mobile Club Open 2019 Fall Split Global Finals is quite a testament. 

While it's impossible to go through every single mobile game to see which one is the best, we can definitely tell you which were (and still are) super enjoyable and our favourites. Do keep in mind that the games listed here are in alphabetical order, so without further ado.. here are our Favourite Mobile Games so far in 2019.

Well, it's certainly been an eventful week TechNavers, as this year's 9.9 online sale happened on Monday, it quickly got followed up by the Apple iPhone 11, new Apple iPad, Apple Watch Series 5 and Apple Arcade launch. Quite a lot of things got confirmed, even the controversial rear design but check them out above for more details.

However, for some, the news below are even more important, so here's TechNave NewsBytes 2019 #20 for the bits and bytes of Malaysia's tech world last week.
