Apple officially announced their iOS 11 update with a number of improvements and upgrades. Coming for devices from the Apple iPhone 5s and upwards and the iPad Air and newer, there is no exact Malaysia release date yet, but we expect it to be sometime in September 2017. Here are some of the new features for iOS 11 but you can check it out at the Apple iOS 11 preview site as well

2017 is set to be a big year for Apple – as it will be the 10th anniversary of the original iPhone. However we will still see more products coming out in the same year, especially tablets and computers. The next iPad is set to be the same size as the Apple iPad Air 2, and may not feature a physical home button.

Today, all Apple Watch models - Apple Watch Sport, stainless Steel Apple Watch, and a limited edition of Apple Watch (PRODUCT) RED model are now officially available in Malaysia. The limited edition Apple Watch is exclusive for the upcoming Chinese New Year festival next month until 22 February.

Like most wearables, Apple watch allows the user to receive and respond to incoming notifications and messages, it tracks your daily healthy lifestyle, has its own wallet and boarding pass feature for convenience, and lets you customize the watchface and bands as you wish. It’s also operating on the latest watchOS 2.

Griffin Technology, a digital accessory manufacturer from USA will be presenting a new Travel Power Bank, a wireless compact Apple Watch charger, and new strap bands for the Apple Watch during the CES 2016 which will take place tomorrow.

As 2015 is coming to an end, rumours of the so called Apple “iPhone 6c” and Apple iPhone 7 have not. And we just got some new rumours on what Apple might have in stored for us in the future.

First up, Commercial Times reported that the iPhone 7 could actually be waterproof. They claimed that Apple is working and developing some kind of “new compound materials” that would replace the iPhone 7’s antenna, which also means the possibility of removing the bands from the current iPhone generation’s back. Not only that, the 3.5mm headphone jack could also be replaced by an all-in-one Lightning connector port.

Following the rumours of China Mobile confirming Samsung Galaxy S7 yesterday, now it appears that Apple’s rumoured 4-inch iPhone will make an appearance in April 2016, or so they claimed.

This is not the first time that rumours have been going around about the 4-inch iPhone, previously we also covered two rumoured news of it releasing in February or March 2016, along with the next generation Apple Watch. Another name for the 4-inch iPhone was also called the “iPhone 6c”, which is rumoured to be modeled after the Apple iPhone 5s and be equipped with the same A9 processor from the Apple iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus.

Apple is already looking far ahead beyond 2016, as according to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, he has some statements on the future of the 3D Touch feature, the new Apple iPad Air 3,Apple iPhone 7, a new Apple Watch and a new 4-inch iPhone that could be the “iPhone 6c”.  

Firstly, Mr. Kuo predicts that the iPad Air 3 will be released in the first half of 2016. It could be in March together with the new “iPhone 6c” and the second generation Apple Watch, this is kind of unusual for Apple to do so as they would usually release new Apple products around every September or October. Another odd thing is that he said the new iPad Air 3 will not adopt the 3D Touch because of production issues. 

In the far east side of Asia, a Japanese blog called Mocotakara (which is known for gathering accurate information of past unreleased Apple products) have claimed that Apple is actually thinking of removing the 3.5mm headset jack and replacing it with a Lightning port for headsets for next year’s Apple iPhone 7.

Yes, you read that right. A shop in China has figured out how to upgrade your Apple iPhone or iPad’s storage up to 128GB of space without causing it to brick on you. How did they do it? Hey, it’s China. They can do anything.

Apple products aren’t easy to modify, as they install a software protection that verifies the hardware in the right configuration. That’s not even the main problem, because you need special tools to work on the hardware and chips and it’s difficult to do so. Not to mention, the iPhone 5s’s motherboard is really tiny to be ejected out safely for the memory chip inside. According to the shop owner, he has very little trouble with iPads and the iPhone 6 is easier to handle but the iPhone 6s is still untested.

Celcom customers got the surprise of their lives last Thursday night, when local celebrities came delivering their new Apple Phone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus right to their doorsteps. This was organized by Celcom Axiata Berhad, using their FIRST™ by Celcom plans to reward their faithful customers.
