mophie is one of the most popular companies out there when it comes to external battery packs, and the company has just announced its powerstation lineup for 2019. There are several options to choose from, as is par for the course, any of which can help you keep your iPhone charged up while on the go.
Yesterday, we saw the first leaked screenshots reportedly showing off dark mode, and a few tweaks to existing apps, for the upcoming release of iOS 13. Now, we get our first looks at the new apps for Music and TV, both of which are reportedly standalone apps, rumored to launch with macOS 10.15.
Apple purchased Texture, a digital reading service that offered a variety of magazines and more for a set monthly fee, back in March of 2018. The company was quick to fold that company's features into its own idea, launching Apple News+ for $10 per month a year later. But for the new service to live, the old one must die.
Amazon already has a healthy lineup of Echo smart devices with Alexa built in, but the company is not resting on its laurels just yet. The new Echo Show 5 has a smaller display than the standard Echo Show, but a smaller price tag to go along with it.
Apple champions privacy (something that apps in the App Store might need a reminder of), but the company is now being sued over potentially violating iTunes privacy laws for consumers in two different states.
Apple has used a variety of names to help spruce up its desktop operating system's naming scheme over the years. We've seen animals like Snow Leopard in the past, but, more recently, Apple has stuck to natural landscapes located in California. The last release, macOS Mojave, followed right along with that idea, and we may see it continue this year.
In January of 2016, Apple launched an app called Music Memos. It allowed musicians and other creatives to capture song ideas quickly. But, since the app's launch the company has not updated the app on any kind of regular basis. Here we are in May of 2019 and the app finally officially supports the notch.
Allowing applications on devices to collect some data is a standard expectation these days. Permissions are meant to let users know what they are collecting, why they need it, and should give the user the power to say no if they so choose. However, some apps use a built-in feature within iOS to take advantage of data collection and send that information to tracking services.
While iOS gets the lion's share of attention when it comes to betas, Apple is not sleeping on its other big operating systems, too. The company is moving forward with developer betas for tvOS and watchOS.
Apple is looking to launch iOS 12.4 soon. Before it does that, though, the company has its typical developer beta routine to finish. Ahead of the public launch later this year, Apple is seeding another beta of iOS 12.4 to developers.
Apple sees the Apple Card, its own-branded credit card, as a way for owners to reach a path to positive "financial health". The card has many specific customer-centric features, most of which go against the standard credit card -- which angle more towards a bank's wellbeing, rather than the customer. Turns out those aggressive terms on Apple's part led at least one bank to bank out.
One of the many standout features of the Apple Watch Series 4 is the ECG functionality. This helped make the Series 4 smartwatch one of the most popular iterations of Apple's device to date. But it's limited availability has also made it a sticking point.
