News & Reviews:   Apple

As far as Microsoft is concerned, the launch of its Xbox Series X next-gen console in November 2020 isn't the only part of its gaming business strategy. The company is banking a lot on its Xbox Game Pass and the xCloud games streaming platform to bring players in. But while xCloud isn't available on iOS, Apple may approve the new Xbox app for iOS.

After the Apple Event on 15 September 2020, many wondered when will Apple do another one since the iPhone 12 series was nowhere to be seen. We know that it would probably be held in October from speculations, but the latest rumour is that the second Apple Event could be scheduled on 13 October 2020.

With the launch of iOS 14, one of the new things that Apple finally added to the operating system is the option to set default apps. Now, Google has since jumped on the change and has begun to update its iOS version apps so that you can use them as default apps in iOS.

Recently, Apple have launched the iOS 14.0 version to the iPhone users after many months. Now the company just released the new iOS 14.2 beta version to the developers, so what are they working on this version?

That's right, people. iOS 14 is now available to download globally and you should be able to find the update in your iPhone settings. However, during the Apple Event just yesterday (1AM, 16 September), the developers were only notified to submit their app optimization review to Apple in view of iOS 14.

Sometimes, we discover things in places we don't expect. That seems to be the case for a new subscription bundle that Apple has been cooking up. Sources have found references to an "Apple One" subscription bundle within the Android version of the Apple Music app.

Just two days ago, it was reported that Samsung and LG will stop supplying their OLED displays to Huawei after 15 September. While that doesn't sound too good for the China smartphone brand, we also got some leaked information that Samsung could be supplying foldable screen panels to Apple.

In case you've been under a rock, Singapore will have its third Apple store and it's located in Marina Bay Sands. Promptly named Apple Marina Bay Sands, the dome was initially covered up and we couldn't see anything inside until now with beautiful photo shots of the interior.

If you're a Fortnite player, you would have noticed about Epic Games parody video called Nineteen Eighty-Fortnite. It's based on an old commercial which was directed by Ridley Scott for Apple and he wasn't that impressed with the end result.

Back in June, Apple confirmed that it was making the transition from Intel CPUs to ARM-based chips for its Mac PCs. This includes the MacBook laptops, which many have claimed will feature the A14X Bionic chipset. It's still unknown whether Apple would hold an event to launch the new laptops, but a new report confirms that the 12-inch MacBook will be the first to get the new chip.
