The Italian Competition Authority (AGCM) has fined Apple €10 million (~RM48.7 million) for misleading water-resistance claims in their ad.

Today marks the 13th Annual Awards and Apple is proud to announce the winners of the 2020 iPhone Photography Awards (IPPAWARDS). From the website, it is said that many participants have submitted their photos from not just the iPhone 11 series but as well as older iPhone models.
