News & Reviews:   Apple

With 4.4 on the way from Shopee, the Mega Electronics Sale is coming real soon. From smartphones to cameras, we managed to track down some tech gadget sales that you might be interested in. So without beating around the bush too much, read on below.

If you recall, Apple launched the Mac Pro back in December 2019 and it had an unusual design. The desktop looked like a giant cheese grater and the folks at iFixit even tried to see if they could do it. Now, Apple wants to repeat the design on another device.

Most of us are not aware of how much data is being collected from us. But fortunately, researchers consider that a topic interesting enough to study and have managed to gain some insights. In this case, it's related to data being collected by Android and iOS.

Today, Apple has officially announced that the annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) will be held from the 7th until the 11th of June 2021. As expected, it will be a livestream event and it's free for all developers. Like every WWDC, we shall be expecting news about iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS. 

Back in February, the beta version of iOS 14.5 revealed the possibility of a MagSafe power bank. Apple may not launch the product in the end, but that's not stopping other companies from doing so. In fact, there's a new wireless power bank for iPhones from the company called Hyper.

If you have an older iPhone, chances are you don't want it to break down. It's hard to get older models repaired and there are only so many Apple authorised repair shops in Malaysia, so it could take time for them to fix your phone. Hopefully, that will change now that the Independent Repair Provider Program is going global.

Every year, Apple makes major announcements during its WWDC conference. Most of them are software related and that should be the case for WWDC 2021 too. Interestingly, we may already have an idea of what's to come thanks to recent finds.

The postponement of Apple's March event means that the iPad Pro won't be launched till April 2021. But there has been a lot of rumours about this device in recent months, so we know quite a bit about it. Now, we also know the exact chipset it would have.

Earlier this year, a list of smartphones that are coming with an LTPO display was revealed and Apple's 2021 iPhones were spotted as well. Other than that, it was also found out that Apple could be launching the iPhone 12s series this year instead of the iPhone 13. Until now, news of the iPhones using the display has surfaced again and it is said that the company is currently in the testing phase with Samsung's 120Hz LTPO display panel.

Apple has been working on different new technologies to improve the Apple Watch. Last year, we saw patents for a watch band with embedded batteries and an under-display camera. Now, there's also a new one describing a flexible display.
