When Apple unveiled the iOS 14.3 update, it came with numerous new features as well as the ability to opt-in or block a tool used to track user behaviour called the IDFA (Identifier for Advertisers).

Thought that the Mac Pro and the wheel kit was the end of the pro-grade stuff from Apple? Nope, Apple has released a new Thunderbolt 3 cable and its price tag is just as spicy. For interested parties, the Thunderbolt 3 Pro Cable fully supports the Thunder 3 specification and is now available for RM649 on the Apple Malaysia store.

Opensignal recently revealed another report about the global smartphone mobile network experience and it revealed that for Malaysia, Samsung and Huawei smartphone users tend to get higher download speeds than Apple smartphone users. While Samsung smartphone users got the top spot of an average 16Mbps, Huawei smartphone users were just almost there at 15Mbps. Apple smartphone users were quite close still at 13Mbps.

Apple is currently recalling all their three-prong AC wall plug adapters or in layman’s terms, the charger for the Apple devices from the year 2003 to 2010. The company had found that in rare cases, the adapter can break and electrocute the user if the metal parts are touched.

Its that time of year again! Apple has announced the date for the Apple Special Event which is on the 25th of March at the Steve Jobs Theatre in Cupertino, California. The event is expected to focus more on Apple’s online services.

Apple would be announcing a subscription based event on the 25th of March, possibly launching a brand new app or service for their ecosystem. However, rumours have been going around that Apple may be announcing some products as well and the Apple Airpods 2 might be one of them.

Saudi Arabia has always been known as a country that places harsher restrictions on women to the point that they cannot be anywhere without knowledge or consent from their guardian. It has come to a point where an app called “Absher” has been used to track women’s locations in the country.

Apple finally squashed the bug that allowed users to add people into group calls and listen and see what the person in the other end is doing without answering the call. Update iOS 12.1.4 is now out on all Apple devices today.
