Yesterday, we reported how Apple was successful in its patent application for an under-display Face ID technology. Well, it looks like the tech giant has been busy behind the scenes and has also been granted patents for other designs, including for a few game controllers!

Speaking of the game controller patents, it seems that Apple may still be figuring out the best design option. The company has had three different design concepts for the gaming controller in two separate patent applications that were approved by the US Patent and Trademark Office as well as from the European Patent Office.

Finally, YouTube is ready to roll out the picture-in-picture support for iOS users. According to the video streaming platform, the feature could launch "in a matter of days across all iOS 15+ devices".

It feels like the OLED iPads are getting more realistic with this new information. According to the source, there are already three display manufacturers gearing up for the production of the OLED displays to be supplied to Apple.

The latest generation of the AirPods, the AirPods 3 is apparently not as successful as what Apple hoped it to be. So much so, that the tech giant is allegedly cutting orders of the true wireless earbuds from its suppliers by over 30 percent for the second and third quarter of 2022.

Shared by reliable tipster regarding everything Apple, Ming-Chi Kuo on Twitter, it is alleged that the demand for the latest generation AirPods is ‘significantly weaker’ than for its predecessor. Kuo further claimed that this was due to failed product segmentation strategy by Apple.

It's that time of the year again for Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), which the company will host an online event starting from the 6th until the 10th of June 2022. Besides showcasing what's new in the upcoming iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS, Apple is also hosting the Swift Student Challenge for everyone from around the world. 

Not long ago, we heard rumours that Apple would be working on a MacBook with a foldable display. Until today, new information has come showing that there's already some progress in the development. The tech giant is reportedly collaborating with LG to work on the display.

After encountering a disruption in its supply chain, Apple might be buying flash memory from a Chinese supplier for the very first time. However, due to the current political issues between its home country and China, it could be a bad decision for the company.

Reliable tipster on everything relating to Apple, Ming-Chi Kuo is at it again. This time, the serial leaker is spilling the beans on a potential under-display Touch ID on the iPhone.

Previously, Kuo said that an adoption of the technology might be coming in 2023, but it seems that he have retracted that prediction. This is because according to his latest survey, Apple may only be adopting under-display fingerprint sensors in 2025 at the earliest.

Apple recently released iOS 15.4 for supported iPhone devices worldwide which comes with a slew of new features. Out of those, the most notable feature has got to be the ability to use Face ID while wearing a face mask, which is super convenient!
