On the first day of WWDC 2020, many announcements have been made and the watchOS is no exception. As Apple continues to dominate the wearable market with their Apple Watch series, the company revealed the watchOS 7 with a few customization tools, a new hearing health feature, handwashing detection, Siri language translation and more. 

Today, the long-awaited iOS update has finally arrived on our Apple iPhones and iPads. In case you missed it, the iOS 13.5 update alongside iPadOS 13.5 feature faster access to your passcode when you are wearing a face mask. As usual, you may find the latest software update in your settings there.

Today, Apple is the latest company to announce that their annual Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) will be held in June 2020. However, like many conferences and events nowadays, the company will host it in a new online format for their consumers, media and app developers. The WWDC 2020 will showcase what's new for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS. 

Ads on your mobile phone are one of the most annoying things to encounter. If you're using apps for free, there's a good chance that you will be greeted by an advertisement every few minutes (just like YouTube's two ads policy in longer videos /rolleyes). However, Apple is trying out something new and depending on how your point of view is, it may be a good or bad thing.

With the on-going coronavirus outbreak, it has also affected the business world as well which means slowing down the manufacturing process of certain products. Since so many things are "Made in China", this also includes Apple and they recently announced that all the official stores, contact centres and corporate offices will be closed until 9 February 2020.

In this short announcement, there is now a new update from Apple regarding the apps closing in the background bug issue that was rampant in the previous iOS update. Now with iOS and iPadOS 13.2.2, this will be the fix for the bug so Apple users shouldn't be experiencing such a quick app shut down while multitasking and others. 

In case you didn't know, Apple TV+ is actually going to launch in Malaysia! It will start from tomorrow onwards (2 November 2019) and the official monthly payment is RM19.90. All Apple device users such as the iPhone, iPad, Mac, iPod Touch and an Apple TV device can stream Apple TV+. 

In conjunction with World Emoji Day (yes, apparently it's a thing), Apple will be releasing more new emojis in the fourth quarter of 2019. From food to smiley faces, there are approximately 59 new additions which include a parachute, skunk, prosthetic arm, onion, and more couples holding hands, and many, many more.

A supply chain in China claims that Apple may be working on a more affordable version of the iPhone without their iconic Face ID. Sources say that it may instead come with an under-display (UD) fingerprint reader to keep costs low and notches smaller (a definite plus if this were to happen).

If you're an Apple user and likes to participate in iOS beta tests, you now have an opportunity to join the public beta tests for Apple iOS 13, iPadOS as well as macOS Catalina. It went live earlier this morning and should you be interested, you can visit beta.apple.com to sign up and get more information from there.
