News & Reviews:   Apple

As many of you might have known, there is a high possibility that the next iPhones could be called iPhone 12s instead of iPhone 13. It's been a long time since the 's' appeared so it would be 'nice' to see the tradition makes a return. However, the latest news claims that the iPhone 13 might be skipped after the iPhone 12s due to superstition.

Based on a statement by asia.nikkei.com, it seems that Apple has started shifting their manufacturing operations to countries such as Vietnam, India, and Malaysia in order to reduce their dependency on China. The report also mentioned that Vietnam will focus on iPad production starting from the middle this year while Malaysia will manufacture the Mac Mini.

Businesses are always in competition with each other, sometimes in healthy ways and sometimes not. Recently, Apple decided to take the other approach by taking digs at Facebook. This could be seen in a recently released company document discussing data privacy.

A new iOS update isn't the only thing that Apple released recently. Previously, it was rumoured that the company would add premium features to some of its other services. That hasn't happened, but Apple did launch Time to Walk for Fitness+ subscribers.

It hasn't been that long since Apple released iOS and iPadOS 14.3, but it was far from perfect so a new version was announced. The new version 14.4 comes with some bug fixes and adds two features to your iPhone and iPad.

Every year, Apple would update its iOS to a new version, which inevitably blocks out older units. Back in November last year, it was already rumoured that iOS 15 might phase out a few older devices. Now, the rumour is back via another source with a little bit more information.

Software updates are rarely smooth sailing. For example, macOS Big Sur users reported an update turned their MacBooks into bricks back in November 2020. This time around, it would seem that multiple users are running into a screensaver bug on their Mac PCs.

Every year, whenever Apple does something for the new iPhone, the process is the same. Android fans mock Apple, followed by Android brands releasing new Android phone that copy whatever Apple. This has been going on for a few years already, so we decided to list the 4 Shameless Times That Android Copied Apple's Ridiculous Features (when they didn't need to).

It seems that Apple has recently been sued by the Coalition for a Safer Web for not removing Telegram from the Apple App Store. Based on what was mentioned by the coalition, Telegram was allegedly used as a communication tool by extremists to raid the US Capitol building located in Washington and it could be used for more the in the future.

Wow, Apple has sure been working on a lot of new techs lately. It's only the start of 2021, but we've already seen one patent for MacBooks and another two for iPhones. But that doesn't seem to be the end, as sources have now found another patent to detect voices.
