Apple has recently announced a new Augmented Reality API on iOS 16 that is powered by its ARKit which utilises the camera and LiDAR scanner on the iPhone and iPad. Called ‘RoomPlan’, the API can create a 3D floor plan of a room, including key characteristics such as dimensions and even the types of furniture.

Apple’s iPad series has got to be one the company’s most diverse lineup, catering for a host of consumer categories from casual user to professionals. The entry-level iPad has always been touted as the best bang-for-your-buck tablet and soon, it may get even better with the potential addition of a faster processor, a USB-C port and 5G connectivity.

Apple has made its iPad lineup one step closer into becoming a full-fledged computer replacement with iPadOS 16 with features such as Stage Manager that allows for next-level multitasking on a tablet. Well, the next iPad Pro lineup may make those multitasking tasks even smoother as they are touted to be powered by the latest Apple Silicone, the M2 SoC.

Apple is reportedly shifting the production of some of its iPad lineup from China to Vietnam in order to soften the blow of supply disruptions in China caused by the country’s Covid-19 lockdowns. This move follows a similar move by the tech giant who previously shifted a chunk of its iPhone’s production to India.

After being ignored for a couple of years, Google has finally replaced the Play Movies & TV app on both iOS and iPadOS to the Google TV app. With the update, comes a few upgrades that Apple users that use the app have been missing out on such as the remote control feature to control Android TVs using the app.

Previously, we reported that Apple may finally introduce an always-on display feature in its iPhones, starting with the Apple iPhone 14 Pro series. Well, today, another source is backing up the claim, this time by reliable Apple insider and tipster, Mark Gurman.

The upcoming iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max may feature LTPO panels capable of dropping to as low as 1Hz, hence paving the way for always-on display elements. This is according to tech insider and display analyst Ross Young who is ‘expecting’ for Apple to make such a move with the upcoming iPhone Pro lineup.

Apple has just released a new firmware for its popular line of wearable wireless audio devices which includes the AirPods 2, AirPods Pro and the AirPods Max. Currently at firmware version 4E71, it is replacing the previous version of 4C165.

One of the most popular e-wallet platform in Malaysia, the Touch ‘n Go eWallet app has mysteriously vanished from the Apple App Store. As of the time of writing, the listing for the app can’t be found in the App Store, though those that have downloaded the app in the past can still open and re-download it from their Apple devices.

We are currently in the midst of the Aidilfitri festive season and the first since the start of the pandemic in which movement restrictions have been relaxed. Hence, many Malaysians are taking the opportunity to drive cross-country back to their hometowns to celebrate Hari Raya.

For those of you that ‘balik kampung’ by road this festive period, you probably notice different type of drivers throughout your journey. Well, if you notice road users that are more sensible and drive safely, according to a new study, they are most probably Android users rather than iPhone users.
