News & Reviews:   Apple

After the launch of AirTag that happened about half a year ago, Apple released an app called Tracker Detect for Android users to detect the smart tracker by connecting with the Find My network. The new app is now live on Google Play Store, and you can use it to help an Apple user out.

Attention to all iPhone users, iOS 15.2 is now released and you should be able to update it from your Settings app. As always, you can just go to Settings -> General -> Software Update but if it's not appearing, just wait for a bit longer. If you're wondering what's new, read on below to check them out. 

The "holiday season" is when people shop for Black Friday, Christmas, and New Year. For Apple, it's the best time to ramp up production instead of giving factories a break. But in 2021, the company hasn't been able to do so.

When it comes to big updates for operating systems, it pays to wait for a few weeks before you install it. After all, you never know if it would end up causing major problems like system crashes. That happened with macOS 12, but it seems like Apple will be fixing that issue soon with version 12.1.

We all know that MagSafe is still not enough compared to the charging concept of the never-released AirPower. Therefore, Apple is still looking for solutions to charge more than two of its devices at once using just a single accessory. According to the latest report, the tech giant has also added "short and long distance wireless charging" to the plan.

TSMC's favourite customer is undoubtedly Apple, as most of its sales belong to the Cupertino-based company. Therefore, the semiconductor manufacturer would leave the best to the tech giant, and it might have made someone jealous. According to a recent report, AMD is considering switching to Samsung for its 3nm products due to the TSMC's special treatment for Apple.

How can someone like that accidentally swallow an Apple AirPod like that? Well, it was really by accident when a 27 years old woman from Boston, USA, Carli Bellmer, was taking her painkillers but later became a temporary nightmare. 

Apple has been forced (many times) by the European Commission to switch its Lightning port to a USB-C port. Not only that, but it seems like the fans are also eagerly waiting for that to happen, as an iPhone X modified with a USB-C port sold over ~RM416K earlier. Until now, a source claims that the tech giant might do that with next year's iPhone 14 Pro lineup.

It's been a while since SharePlay was made available for Apple devices via the latest software updates. Today, Apple announced that there are plans for more apps to be integrated into the function and it will be included in iOS, iPadOS, tvOS and macOS in the future.

When it comes to repairing smartphones, it can really hit a hole in your wallet depending on the model. If it's an iPhone, that's even more and most of the time, people would rather not fix it. However, Apple just announced a new Self Service Repair and as the name implies, yes - you can do it yourself now.
