Last week, we reported that some analysts think Apple may put on a monthly fee for the full Apple Intelligence experience that is coming soon. We won't be surprised if that happens but according to Mark Gurman, he's saying otherwise.

When the iPhone 16 series launches in September, only some of the Apple Intelligence features will be available. But in this latest news, there are new rumours that Apple may actually put a price on Apple Intelligence of up to $20 (~RM89).

Before I start this, I would like to put a DISCLAIMER that the whole TechNave team does not share the same view as I do. Well, okay there are some but not everyone. Still, I have been in this industry for eight years and counting. I have reviewed countless smartphones and I didn't realise that I got bored with them after the pandemic and lockdown period. Today, I realised smartphones are so boring now.

With mobile web browsers, the search engine is almost always Google. This is because Google pays smartphone manufacturers big bucks for that advantage. In 2021, Google even paid Apple USD26 billion (~RM116.26 billion) to become the default Safari browser search engine. But clearly, it's not just because of the money.

If you’re an iPhone user, you’ve probably noticed how if you’re trying to shoot a video while playing audio via other apps in the background, the audio will stop playing once you launch the video camera. Well, this is about to end soon as the limitation has been removed in iOS 18.

If you're an iOS 18, iPadOS 18 and macOS Sequoia beta (developer) user, you should have already started receiving new features for the Safari browser app. So, what should you know about it?

Apple Intelligence was the highlight during the WWDC 24 event but as reported before, some of the features will only come a few weeks later after iOS 18. The iOS 18.1 beta has already been released and the delay is becoming even more evident.

The Apple Intelligence will arrive in October. For those who can't wait, you can now try Apple Intelligence through iOS 18, iPadOS 18 and macOS 15.1 Developer Beta that was made available this morning. So, what should you know about it?

Apple is now reported to be experiencing a delay in the offering of their artificial intelligence services which is the main focus on iOS 18. According to Bloomberg, Apple is expected to launch Apple Intelligence around October 2024, instead of together with iOS 18 which is expected to arrive in September.

According to The Information, Apple is planning to introduce camera upgrades for the iPhone 17, which will be launched next year. This is good news for photography enthusiasts. The report indicates that at least one model of the iPhone 17 series will have a variable aperture function, allowing users to adjust the aperture like using a DSLR or mirrorless camera, thereby controlling image blur.
