From now on, Maybank customers can download the monthly statements for their savings accounts right off the Maybank2U website. The bank announced the feature today, and only statements from July 2022 and above will be available for download.

After some accidental publishing of web pages for Apple Pay support by the banks, Apple has finally officially announced that the payment service is now in Malaysia. The service will work with Visa and Mastercard cards from banks including AmBank, Maybank, and Standard Chartered Bank, while American Express will be added to the list later this year.

Earlier today, AmBank published a web page revealing its support for Apple Pay. However, due to unknown reasons, it has been taken down. Until now, Maybank goes through the same thing by publishing a web page dedicated to the payment service and deleting it afterwards.

Samsung was the first to announce a 200MP smartphone camera sensor, and it's quick to give it an upgrade. Today, the Korean tech giant announces the new ISOCELL HP3 as its revamped 200MP sensor with "industry's smallest pixel" at just 0.56 μm.

Guess what! Meizu is joining the handheld gaming console industry under its subbrand named PANDAER. It has shared a teaser poster for the launch event and revealed half of how the console would look. Furthermore, it's also calling the console the world's first ultra-thin OLED handheld running the Windows operating system.

Despite the AR/VR headset not making an appearance at the WWDC22, which the rumours are saying, there is still some pretty exciting stuff for us to anticipate from the event. Today, AR evangelist Robert Scoble brings the news of Apple introducing a new user-centric web search engine similar to Google, and it's something we've never expected.

At last, Qualcomm has introduced the successor of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip today. It turns out that we have been calling it the wrong name, as the company put the plus sign after the eight rather than one, so it's Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.

We had received two different predictions regarding the launch of the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ chipset, with one mentioning that it'll launch in H2 2022 while the other one claims that the smartphones with the chip are arriving next month. Now, we might be able to confirm that the latter is likely to happen as Qualcomm has announced an event on 20 May.

Ubisoft has finally announced a new shooting game after the rumours circulating on the internet for a while. Project Q, first mentioned as part of last September's Nvidia Geforce leak, is a new PvP battle arena game with the company claiming that it's not a Battle Royale title.

Owning a 9.2 percent share of Twitter is not enough for Elon Musk, as the world's richest person has offered $43 billion (~RM181 billion) to purchase the social media company completely today. The news came from Musk himself through a tweet attaching the link to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing.
