News & Reviews:   Apple

Last week, Apple released the public beta for iOS 14.5 that came with quite a few new features. For instance, it added support for face unlocking with a mask on and the latest gaming console controllers. It was also confirmed that Apple Maps will get a big update.

Unlike Spotify, Apple Music doesn't let you listen to content in its database unless you have a subscription. For those who're new, you can easily get a 3-month subscription for free. But what if we told you that you can now get a 5-month subscription for free?

Based on a statement by 9to5mac, it seems that Hyundai and Kia recently confirmed that they are no longer working with Apple to manufacture the Apple Car. With that being said, it seems that the Apple Car will not be available in the global market until much later.

It's interesting how Apple has been working on a variety of prototypes in the last few years. Although the Apple Car may be on hold, the Apple AR glasses could be available in 2022. There's even a rumour about the company's VR headset, which could feature some crazy specs.

Based on a statement by gizmodo, it seems that the discussion between Hyundai and Kia in regards to developing the Apple Car might have been put on hold. With that in mind, it is very likely that the driverless vehicle might be postponed for quite a while until further notice.

A car is not what you'd expect a company like Apple to be involved in building. But the company is looking to develop an electric car, by investing around RM14 billion in Hyundai. Moreover, the company's first electric car could be fully autonomous.

We previously reported that Apple is teaming up with Hyundai on an Apple Car and invested around ~RM14 billion. With the investment on Hyundai's subsidiary brand, Kia, multiple sources have cited that it would be an "autonomous, electric vehicles designed to operate without a driver and focused on the last mile".

Apple entering the car business is not the latest news anymore as the rumours have been roaming around for years. Earlier, it was reported that the tech giant has finally taken the first step by choosing Hyundai as a partner for car production. Now, the deal might be closed soon as Apple is reportedly going to invest 3.6 billion USD (~RM14 billion) in Hyundai's subsidiary Kia.

For those who are unaware, Apple Arcade has been available in Malaysia since late 2019. While not limited, its list of supported controllers isn't extensive either. Fortunately, the developer beta for iOS 14.5 brings support for new console controllers.

With the recent iOS 14.3 update, the 14.5 beta version is currently underway. Most of the time, iOS versions have a few exciting things to look forward to but 14.5 says otherwise. From the sources, the new update may come with a Face Unlock while wearing a mask, adding gaming controller support and enabling 5G connectivity in dual SIM mode.
