News & Reviews:   Apple

Every year, whenever Apple does something for the new iPhone, the process is the same. Android fans mock Apple, followed by Android brands releasing new Android phone that copy whatever Apple. This has been going on for a few years already, so we decided to list the 4 Shameless Times That Android Copied Apple's Ridiculous Features (when they didn't need to).

It seems that Apple has recently been sued by the Coalition for a Safer Web for not removing Telegram from the Apple App Store. Based on what was mentioned by the coalition, Telegram was allegedly used as a communication tool by extremists to raid the US Capitol building located in Washington and it could be used for more the in the future.

Wow, Apple has sure been working on a lot of new techs lately. It's only the start of 2021, but we've already seen one patent for MacBooks and another two for iPhones. But that doesn't seem to be the end, as sources have now found another patent to detect voices.

While Apple may be the first company to drop components (like chargers...) from its iPhones, it's not as quick when it comes to adopting new ideas. However, sources now claim that Apple could be developing a vapour chamber cooling system for iPhones.

The year may have just started, but people are already speculating about this year's MacBook Pro models. Last year, it was rumoured Apple would launch new models this year with a mini-LED display. Now, there's a report suggesting that the new models will also have faster-charging speed via MagSafe.

With Chinese New Year being just around the corner, most of you must have planned to go on a shopping spree during this time as many sales would be held. To bring you some good news, Mac City will be having a sale for most of its Apple products. After the discount, you can get a product like the iPhone 11 Pro Max that comes with A13 Bionic chip for RM3,799, which is a lot cheaper than usual!  

Sadly, the latest Apple iPhone 12 series doesn't have the reverse wireless charging function despite equipped with a mechanism that supports it. Given that most users might also be using the other Apple accessories like the Apple Watch or AirPods these days, we think they would be glad if the iPhones can provide battery life to those mentioned products. With that said, the company has patented a few iPhone case designs with charging the AirPods as the central idea.

Last year, Apple combined a few of its services into one subscription package called the Apple One. But could the company do something similar with its enterprise and productivity services? We're not sure about that, but some analysts believe that some services could gain new a new premium tier that offers more.

Speculations based on rumours may not always be accurate, but if it's based on supply chain movement then maybe something could be up. Allegedly, suppliers in China have claimed that Apple could launch a new iPhone SE and AirPods Pro relatively soon.

Previously, we got news about Apple collaborating with Hyundai to manufacture an electric car. There wasn't much news after that but it seems that sources have confirmed that the two companies will be partners. They will sign a new partnership deal by March and start manufacturing in 2024.
