News & Reviews:   Apple

As much as I'm loving the macro mode on the iPhone 13 Pro, I also mentioned in the article that I wish there was a toggle for that so I can be in full control of my mobile photography experience. Thankfully, Apple will be implementing that in the next iOS 15.2 update and it's currently in beta testing.

Remember the Apple polishing cloth that cost RM99? Well, Samsung is giving out its own for free. The Korean tech giant has recently mocked the Cupertino-based company by notifying its customers that they can get a larger piece of cleaning cloth through the Samsung Members app.

A few months back, Netflix announced that it's expanding into mobile games. The company beta-tested it in selected countries over the last few months, before launching for Android users last week. Now, Netflix is ready to launch it on more platforms.

The latest Apple iPad mini faced some challenges at launch with various screen issues. Next year, the successor might come with a tech spec to ensure no such problems happen again. According to a report, the next iPad mini might upgrade its display to one that supports a 120Hz refresh rate.

If you have adopted iOS 15, you should have probably encountered the odd address bar placement at the bottom of the Safari web browser. Thankfully, there's an option for you to revert it back to the original but for some weird reason, Samsung is copying Apple with the same option as well.

Apple is always putting its customers' safety first, and hence, the company is rumoured to be working on a feature that detects car crashes for both iPhones and Apple Watches. The fall detection on Apple Watches has received praises by saving multiple lives. Therefore, we trust that Apple has some ways of ensuring these features work as to how they're supposed to work.

The latest version of macOS, Monterey, had arrived last week. However, it looks like it might not be an attractive update to some users as they complain that the OS update is bricking their old Macs. Recently, a surge of users took the issue onto various social platforms revealing that their Mac devices are unusable after installing the update.

Since the instalment of the App Tracking Transparency in April 2021, Apple introduced an anti-privacy policy that gives you the option to allow third-party apps to track your data or not. It's been a year since then, so is there any impact from that?

Apple has rolled out the new public betas of iOS and iPad 15.2. You may click here to sign up for Apple's beta testing program to try out the updates or new features.

While technology is getting more convenient for us, our online privacy is also something that we should be concerned about. According to security researchers, iPhone users who take this seriously should just delete Facebook because of how the company collects your data.
