Last week, users of iOS 14 beta have gotten notifications alerting them that TikTok was trying to access their clipboards. Not only the doing has invaded users' privacy, but it also exists as a possibility to cause users' data being stolen by someone else. After that, TikTok has immediately submitted a new update to the App Store to fix the issue. However, it turns out that TikTok is not the only app accessing users' clipboards.

With the announcement of iOS 14 being made, many users are quite excited about the new features that are coming soon to Apple devices. Other than those features, it looks like the latest OS update has some impressive skills as well. It is reported that the iOS 14 beta has caught TikTok reading users' clipboards.

Based on a statement by patentlyapple.com, it seems that the future MacBooks could come equipped with a retractable keyboard which allows the laptops to be much thinner than usual. In terms of how the mechanism functions, the keyboard of the laptop will extend out when the lid is lifted and retracts when the laptop lid closes.

While many beta testers are still exploring iOS 14, one of the features they found is really exciting. According to multiple sources, their YouTube video resolution can be toggled up to 4K. Sweet, but it's still in beta testing. 

At the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2020, Apple has announced that they will be making the switch from Intel chips to ARM chips for the Macs. By the end of this year, we'll get to see the first Mac with an Apple Silicon. However, few of us know that the Taiwanese chipmaker TSMC is actually one of the key contributors to this switch, as they have invested in 300 R&D teams to help Apple in this huge transition.

There were a lot of big announcements from Apple's WWDC 2020 today and one of them is the iPadOS 14. So what's in store for the tablet users? Plenty, there are upcoming new features and designs such as the Multi-Touch display, Siri interactions, new design for FaceTime and network calls, and many more. Besides that, there are new Apple Pencil features too so let's take a look at them. 

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. 

If you recall, it was recently rumoured that Apple is getting ready to start using ARM-based chips for Mac PCs. This was confirmed at WWDC 2020 earlier today when it was announced that it will be using its A12Z Bionic chipset on Mac PCs. At the same time, Apple also introduced the new macOS Big Sur.

Apple made a bunch of announcements at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference, WWDC 2020. This includes the new iOS 14 with a redesigned iPhone home screen and new widgets, iPadOS 14, WatchOS 7, macOS Big Sur, and the new updates for TVOS. The new iOS 14 comes with few new features which are new to Apple iPhone users but familiar to Android users. 

As the name suggests, the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is an Apple event that's mostly about software. Despite that, many tend to expect at least some hardware to be unveiled at the event. However, it's possible that there may not be any hardware reveals at this year's WWDC.
