News & Reviews:   Apple

We bet that you must have seen a lot of memes before about Apple making unnecessary accessories for the consumers to pair with their products. One of them would be selling a touch ID button dock for the iPhones without a touch button, although it's not real but a laughing stock. Recently, the Mac Pro Wheels have also gotten people questioning their worth, and here's a Youtuber using them to make a skateboard in order to stop you from wondering!

So here's some interesting news - ever since the pandemic outbreak started, there have been rumours about brands considering moving their production line from China to India. Amongst the companies, Apple is one of them and this isn't the first time we heard about it. According to The Economic Times, the India government actually met up with Apple executives on having an Apple iPhone factory.

A while back, rumours of a new Apple headphone to replace the Beats Studio-branded ones appeared. The new headphone is supposed to make its debut at this year's WWDC, which is now expected to be streamed online. Now, a new rumour claims that the official name of the product has been determined.

One would think that smartphone sales have dropped during this global pandemic but turns out it's the opposite. It seems that more people seem to have purchased tech gadgets making themselves comfortable at home. According to Canalys, they have just released an image from their report of the global top 10 smartphones in Q1 2020 with Apple, Samsung and Xiaomi dominating the charts.

It seems that Forza Street, which was Microsoft’s free-to-play racing game, is now officially available on both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store for free. In addition to that, those who downloaded the game from the Samsung Galaxy Store will be eligible for a 2015 Ford Mustang GT which comes with a Galaxy-themed skin or even more.

Back in March, Apple announced that the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2020 would be held in June 2020. Due to the coronavirus outbreak, the event will be held online so that people could watch from the safety of their homes. It has now been confirmed that the event will be held on 22 June 2020 via the Apple Developer app and the Apple Developer website.

Remember the rumour about the new MacBook Pro coming soon? Apple is expected to launch it sometime this month and many are inclined to believe the rumour, now that there's a follow up with benchmark scores. In the latest rumour, a new config of the 13-inch MacBook Pro 2020 was revealed and it's going to come with more RAM and SSD storage.

There are a ton of social messaging apps online, but not all of them allow you to edit your message if you did a typo. That might change for Apple iPhone users though, as recently the company just filed a new patent application at the US Patent and Trademark Office for that. This includes editing sent messages and improved application launcher.

If you're an Apple iPhone user, you would find unlocking your iPhone to be a hassle because of the face mask. Thankfully, the company is working on that and according to reports, the new iOS 13.5 beta will focus on the Face ID as well as "detecting" COVID-19 exposure for the outbreak period. By the way, there's also a new iOS 13.4.1 update patch but we will get to that later. 

After the arrival of the new and upgraded iPhone SE, Apple’s next smartphones which will be the iPhone 12 series is expected to be launched in September. However, it looks like the tech giant is facing a problem now as the production of the iPhone 12 series is reported to be delayed by a month.
