News & Reviews:   Apple

In the last few weeks, the rumour mill has been rife with chatter about a foldable iPhone. At this point, we're quite sure that it's going to be a thing, just not when exactly Apple will launch it (some say 2023). However, we do have more rumours that hint at the hardware specs.

A new report is claiming that Apple was the largest buyer of semiconductor chips in 2020. According to Gartner, the tech giant had spent 53.6 billion USD (~RM216 billion) and took 11.9% of the global market share, representing 24% growth year-on-year. Let's read on to find out why Apple had to spend so much on semiconductors.

It seems that Apple’s upcoming chipset which is the Apple M1X might have been spotted on cpu-monkey.com, giving us a better idea of what to expect when it is available in the global market. Unfortunately, there’s no news on the Malaysia release date, local pricing, and which products will come equipped with the aforementioned chip.

If there's a technology that Apple has been experimenting a lot with, it would have to be MagSafe. The company has been looking to add the tech into products like its MacBook Pro laptops, as well as related accessories for iPhones. Now, there's rumour of a power bank too.

If you thought phones will stop at 144Hz, think again. In their quest to one-up each other, brands continue to push the hardware available in phones. Now, a new Apple patent shows that the company wants to push display tech further.

We have written some news about iOS 14.5 beta for a while now and here's another one. Apple has confirmed that the upcoming software update will include new emojis, Apple Music update and others.

The new Apple M1-based Macs are still quite new, so any new Apple computer will likely feature it too. An update to a Bluetooth SIG listing by Apple seems to support this assumption, as sources claim.

As you may know, our personal data isn't all that private these days. It's a given that many tech companies hoard our data, but it's bad when they do it poorly. For instance, it was found that iOS 14 might have some bad data privacy practices.

Based on a report by nikkei, it seems that Apple has recently partnered up with TSMC in order to develop micro OLED displays that will be used with Apple’s upcoming AR glasses. While not much is known in regards to the exact release date, it does give us a better idea on what to expect when it is officially available in the local market.

A while back, it was rumoured that Apple has been working on two foldable iPhones prototypes. Supposedly, it would also have an under-display fingerprint sensor and will launch in 2022. However, the latest rumours suggest a different launch window.
