News & Reviews:   Apple

Based on a statement by gizmochina, it seems that Apple will be collaborating with Hyundai Motor to manufacture Apple’s upcoming vehicle called the Apple Car. While not much is known in regards to the Malaysia release date and local pricing of the aforementioned vehicle, our source did mention that it will most likely be available in either 2024 or 2028.

Before the Apple iPhone 12 series launches, rumours were saying that the smartphones will come with 120Hz refresh rate displays, making us believed that it's finally the time. Unfortunately, the idea has later been dropped due to battery life concerns. Now, we might need to shift our hope to the iPhone 13 series as it is reported that Samsung will be supplying LTPO OLED to the Pro models for 120Hz refresh rate display.

At the end of 2020, Apple has brought the final product of the year to the market and it's the AirPods Max. The tech giant's latest over-ear headphones sport a price tag that is far from being budget-friendly with a whopping RM2,399. Now, it looks like Apple will be going to make a cheaper version of the AirPods Max to cater to a larger audience.

Based on a statement by macrumors.com, it seems that Apple might have entered the second phase of AR Glasses development which hints that the product is expected to be available in either 2021 or 2022. While not much is known in regards to the Malaysia release date, the report does give us a better idea on what to expect as soon as the product is available in the global market.

Ever since the introduction of the MagSafe, many tech experts are predicting that Apple is secretly heading towards a future of a portless device. On top of that, there is a new patent that has been filed by the company on researching a new integration of multiple inductive charging coils on Macbooks and iPads.

When it comes to depth sensors used by mobile device's, the LiDAR sensor used by Apple is probably considered the best. It's not all iPhones that get it though, with only the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max from last year with it. However, it seems all the iPhone 13 models may have it.

Generally, Apple doesn't disclose the amount of energy in the iPhone batteries upon and we don't think we will be seeing the company changing that habit anytime soon. But we got some news that the group just placed their orders on GaN charger technology which could change the game. 

As we step into 2021, we wonder what else could Apple reveal to us. Last year, there were a lot of Apple product rumours that didn't make it to the cut such as the AirTag but here's some new information about it. The information is brought to you by none other than Ming-Chi Kuo, a reliable Apple analyst.

It looks like Apple had started a purge on the App Store before 2020 ends. Today, the news came reporting that the tech giant has removed more than 46,000 apps in total from their China store, and 39,000 of them are unlicensed games by Chinese authorities.

Based on a statement by cultofmac.com, it seems that the Apple AirPods Max might be having issues likely due to condensation from the wearer’s sweat. This is likely due to the fact that the AirPods Max are made largely of metal, which is usually quite cool to the touch which could promote condensation.
