News & Reviews:   Apple

According to a source, Apple could be phasing out the iPad mini and replace it with a much larger iPhone. Other than featuring a large display, the device is also claimed to have stylus-support. For now, it is suggested to be a folding iPhone that everyone is waiting for.

Based on a statement by bloomberg, it seems that Apple is currently hiring engineers to develop 6G cellular technology. While there is no official information in regards to when the 6G cellular technology will be globally available, it does give us a better idea of what to expect from Apple in the coming years.

 Based on a statement by macrumors.com, it seems that a malware made specifically for the Apple M1 chip have been spotted. While it seems that the malware is in its early stages, it does show that Apple chips, just like chips from other manufacturers, are not immune to malware attacks.

In the last few weeks, the rumour mill has been rife with chatter about a foldable iPhone. At this point, we're quite sure that it's going to be a thing, just not when exactly Apple will launch it (some say 2023). However, we do have more rumours that hint at the hardware specs.

A new report is claiming that Apple was the largest buyer of semiconductor chips in 2020. According to Gartner, the tech giant had spent 53.6 billion USD (~RM216 billion) and took 11.9% of the global market share, representing 24% growth year-on-year. Let's read on to find out why Apple had to spend so much on semiconductors.

It seems that Apple’s upcoming chipset which is the Apple M1X might have been spotted on cpu-monkey.com, giving us a better idea of what to expect when it is available in the global market. Unfortunately, there’s no news on the Malaysia release date, local pricing, and which products will come equipped with the aforementioned chip.

If there's a technology that Apple has been experimenting a lot with, it would have to be MagSafe. The company has been looking to add the tech into products like its MacBook Pro laptops, as well as related accessories for iPhones. Now, there's rumour of a power bank too.

If you thought phones will stop at 144Hz, think again. In their quest to one-up each other, brands continue to push the hardware available in phones. Now, a new Apple patent shows that the company wants to push display tech further.

We have written some news about iOS 14.5 beta for a while now and here's another one. Apple has confirmed that the upcoming software update will include new emojis, Apple Music update and others.

The new Apple M1-based Macs are still quite new, so any new Apple computer will likely feature it too. An update to a Bluetooth SIG listing by Apple seems to support this assumption, as sources claim.
