Earlier this year, the South Korean government enacted the Telecommunications Business Act. With it, the legislative body ruled that companies designated as having market dominance must allow for alternative payment options beyond first-party ones. Unsurprisingly, despite Google being a primary focus for the new law, Apple has picked up the majority of attention due to its own rules for the App Store.
On Monday, October 18, Apple is going to host its "Unleashed" event. While Apple isn't going out of its way to tell us what they will announce next week right now, the rumor mill has been trying to help with that. Which is why the expectation right now is that we'll see at least two new MacBook Pro models unveiled.
Apple remains the same company in the grand scheme of things, focusing almost entirely on its first-party ecosystem above all else. However, with some aspects of the business there is some branching out. For instance, Apple Music is not just an Apple-only experience, with a popular enough Android app out there in the world as well. And it looks like it’s coming soon to another platform as well.
While the HomePod mini appears to be doing all right, all things considered, Apple is still missing a huge chunk of the smart speaker market. Meanwhile, Google and Amazon have capitalized. But it looks like Apple's not quite ready to go quietly into that good night (yet).
When Apple unveiled iOS 15, it also revealed that the Wallet app will support storing digital driver's licenses and identification cards. Unfortunately, though, the feature isn't supported by all 50 states in the United States, at least not yet. Worse, the feature isn't even live quite yet, as Apple delayed the feature for sometime later this fall.
Apple TV+ has been working with National Basketball Association legend Kevin Durant for years to bring Swager to the streaming service. News initially broke regarding the show way back in 2018. And while there have been some bumps in the road, we are actually nearing the premiere date. And now we have an official trailer.
It has been almost a year since Apple launched the repair program for AirPods Pro with various sound issues, including crackling and static. When the company introduced the program, it said that it would cover AirPods Pro for up to two years after the initial sale. But it looks like Apple has extended the program.
Earlier this year, when Apple unveiled macOS Monterey 12 to the world, one of the major bullet points in the features column was "Universal Control." It quickly became one of the more anticipated elements of the desktop operating system, which will let users use a single keyboard and mouse/trackpad across multiple devices. But Apple's making sure to set expectations (at least a little) ahead of the public launch.
It's been a pretty busy day for Apple TV+. Along with debuting the official trailer for the third and last season of the anachronistic series Dickinson, the streaming service also shared the first trailer for the animated series Harriet the Spy. And to top it all off, now we have a brand new series order for good measure.
The march towards a public launch of iOS 15 continues. Apple is back with another beta for its next update to its popular mobile operating system, along with iPadOS, tvOS, watchOS, and macOS. And today, new betas are available for each platform.
While the anachronistic series Dickinson might not pick up as much attention as other shows, it is one of Apple TV+'s best. Unfortunately, it's coming to an end soon with the third season. And to drum up attention for the finale, Apple TV has just shared the official trailer for what's coming.
Back in August, Apple announced that it had secured the streaming rights for a brand new animated series based on the popular book, "Harriet the Spy." At the time, Apple was basically just confirming it was adding yet another title to its growing roster of animated shows for Apple TV+, especially those specifically made for kids. But today, we get an actual trailer.
