News & Reviews:   Apple

Last month, it was reported that Apple will be launching the iPhone 13 on time this year. The company is expected to start the mass production of the A15 chips in May so that it could bring the new iPhones to the market in the usual September. Today, the latest report has arrived claiming that TSMC is already on it.

It's been a month since iOS 14.5 and others (iPadOS, watchOS, etc) were released. Now Apple has released another new update - the iOS 14.6 and watchOS 7.5 with the much-requested ECG feature. There are also other new updates for other platforms so read below on what to expect. 

Based on a report by wabetainfo, it seems that the developers of WhatsApp could be working on a feature that allows users to import chat history from one phone number to another. With that being said, it could mean that users might not need to import chat history using a third-party service such as Google Drive or iCloud in the future.

Yesterday, it was revealed that Lossless Audio for Apple Music wouldn't work with Apple's audio devices. That's not something you expect from the company, so it's not surprising that something was up. It turns out that Apple might have a plan for that.

If you recall, Spatial Audio and Lossless Audio were added to Apple Music yesterday. But if you're hoping to enjoy them using Apple's audio products, you might be out of luck. From what we gathered online, Lossless Audio won't work with wireless audio.

When it comes to smartwatches, the Apple Watch Series is often considered as one of the popular wearables globally. However, the Apple Watch Series lineup in the Malaysian market is missing a couple of things such as an ECG detector. That's going to change, though, as there is a new watchOS 7.5 coming soon with new features.

Yesterday, we reported that Apple could be introducing Lossless music but it turned out to be something better than that. So not only did Apple announce Lossless music but as well as Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos support for Apple Music users. More than 75 million songs will be available in Lossless starting in June, free of charge. 

When it comes to music platforms, Spotify is probably the most popular amongst Malaysians. While there are other music streaming services such as YouTube Music, Joox, Tidal, Deezer and others, the majority of music listeners are satisfied with just average MP3 quality. However, that might change as Apple Music just officially teased something.

Yesterday, it was rumoured that Apple could be launching a new high-fidelity music streaming feature for Apple Music soon. This rumour is likely true, with a reliable source having found references to it in the latest version of the Android app too.

Some good news for the long-awaited next-gen Apple AirPods has finally arrived! According to the latest source, it is said that the pair of true wireless earbuds will be launched on 18 May alongside Apple's new high-fidelity (HiFi) music streaming feature.
