News & Reviews:   Apple

Last week, Apple announced that it will be terminating Epic Games' developer account. It was likely retaliation to the latter submitting a lawsuit after Apple had removed Fortnite from the Apple App Store. Microsoft has now decided to throw in its support for Epic Games, stating that termination of a developer account will hurt other game creators that rely on Unreal Engine.

The launch event for the Apple iPhone 12 series hasn't even been announced, yet the devices are getting a lot of attention lately. By just focusing on the launch delay, it was already enough for us to write a bunch of articles in the past few months. Other than the delay, there are also the tech specs and feature leaks that our readers (including us) love to see. Today, it is reported that Apple might cut down the costs of other components from the iPhone 12 series to complement the cost of 5G.

As the launch of the Apple iPhone 12 series is getting closer and closer, many of us are wondering if the devices are going to make it without any further delay. Although the first batch of iPhone 12 series might still facing production delay, it has been reported that Apple is preparing to assemble the devices in India that are for the middle of next year.

Today, Apple just announced that they have added two new live global radio offerings on Apple Music. Previously known as Beats 1, this global radio station has been renamed to Apple Music 1 and the two new radio stations are Apple Music Hits and Apple Music Country. 

If you have seen enough of the Apple iPhone 12 renders, you must have realized that the upcoming devices might not have curved sides anymore. Instead, they will be following the previous iPhone 4 by featuring straight-edged, flat design. Now, the iPhone 12 dummy units have appeared online giving us a possible first look of the highly-anticipated Apple devices.

As some of you may know, TSMC is manufacturing the A14X Bionic chipset for Apple's next iteration of the iPad Pro and iPad Air. With the move to 5nm, this chipset is expected to deliver greater performance and power efficiency. We're seeing some signs of that now after some benchmark data for it was leaked yesterday.

When Epic Games sued Apple last week over the removal of Fortnite from its App Store, you'd think that things would simmer down before the two companies settle things in court. But Apple isn't going to take things lying down and has banned the former's developer account. And funny enough, it's going to be a fortnight from the date that Fortnite was removed. Oh boy...

If there's one thing that few expected, it's Apple working on car technology. But the company has allegedly been working on an Apple Car and a new patent with some details have emerged. Based on the patent published on USPTO, we see that the vehicle will have some special passenger security features and an in-car VR system.

When money is involved, things tend to escalate quickly. And things certainly escalated when Epic Games decided to implement its own in-app payment system for the mobile version of Fortnite. Now the game has been removed from both Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Attention to all iPhone and iPad users, iOS 13.6.1 and iPad 13.6.1 are now released. As usual, you can update them from the settings and while there's no major change from the list, there are some nice improvements for both iPhone and iPad users.
