Previously, we reported on Apple confirming that it will comply with the European Union’s (EU) new law for a unified USB-C charging port. Now, it looks like the EU is not done just yet and may force Apple to do more changes on its mobile devices, including allowing for third-party app stores, app sideloading and iMessage interoperability with non-Apple devices.

Recently, the European Union (EU) passed a law which makes it mandatory for manufacturers to use USB-C port for the charging of their devices. Of course, this affects Apple the most as its iPhone lineup still uses Lightning and the tech giant has come out and said that it will comply with the new regulation.

While other manufacturers already launched several generations of foldable smartphones in the market, it looks like Apple will not follow suit but instead release a foldable tablet first. In fact, according to analyst firm CCS Insight, Apple may be launching a foldable iPad in 2024.

A Brazilian court has fined Apple BRL100 million or ~RM89 million in “social damages” for its continued practice of selling iPhones without a charger in the country.

Love it or hate it, the Dynamic Island feature on the iPhone 14 Pro series has been the talk of the tech world recently. However, the current implementation of the interactive island over the device’s pill-shaped display cutout may soon change in iOS 16.1 as Apple recently added a grey border around the Dynamic Island in the latest version of the iOS beta.

It seems that the iPhone 14 series is not as popular as Apple has hoped for it to be, whereby it is allegedly lower than the tech giant’s anticipated demand projection. So much so, that Apple has now reportedly abandoned its plans to increase production levels of its new flagship smartphone series.

Reliable tipster on everything Apple, Mark Gurman has revealed that the tech giant is planning to revamp its naming scheme for the iPhone starting next year. Writing in his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman said that moving forward, the 'Pro Max' model will be replaced with ‘Ultra’ starting with the iPhone 15 series next year.

iOS 16 brings a flurry of new features to the iPhone, including for the first time ever, haptic feedback while using the iOS virtual keyboard.

Apple may become the first tech company to use Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.’s (TSMC) latest 3nm chipmaking technology. In fact, Apple’s iPhones and Macs may use TSMC-produced 3nm chips as early as next year.
