The Apple Watch is one of the most popular products for Apple to date. And it easily dominates the smartwatch market. But it looks like Facebook is ready to bring on its own competitor in 2022.
Apple's transition to its own M1 processor for the Mac (and iPad Pro!) lineup has gone pretty smoothly so far. However, things may start to get a bit rocky as the company continues to lean away from Intel's processors. Namely, when it comes to features.
After initially announcing new podcast subscriptions within the Apple Podcasts app, Apple delayed its launch soon after. At the time, the company didn't say when the new feature would launch to the public. But now we know.
There are some instances where the iPad is missing out on some Apple-specific apps. The Weather and Calculator apps, for instance. And for folks who believe the Translate app would be a good fit for the iPad, well, Apple apparently agrees.
Word on the street is that Apple is working on a slightly tweaked, slightly improved version of its original M1 processor for a new MacBook Pro. Expectations were that Apple would unveil the new machine at the keynote for this year's WWDC, but that didn't happen. So, while we wait, the rumor mill is still working out the details.
Simon Kinberg and David Weil have been working on an epic sci-fi drama with action elements for a long time now. At the beginning of 2020, we heard the project was eventually coming to Apple TV+. Then, later in the year, we finally got word on who would be starring in the series.
Before Apple got around to officially announcing Dolby Atmos support in Apple Music, along with Lossless Audio, it was the Apple Music Android app that hinted at its impending arrival. But then the rumor mill suggested that app wouldn't get support for the new feature. Now, here we are and Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos is out there in the wild, and Android support is indeed in the works.
The iPad lineup has a lot of strengths. Being able to use an Apple Pencil, for instance, to jot down notes quickly and easily is one of them. With iPadOS 15, which is set to launch later this year, Apple is aiming to make capturing your thoughts when you need to even easier. And, more helpful in general.
One of the biggest features Apple added with iOS 14 last year was the App Library. It did not make the cut for iPadOS 14 at the time. But Apple is now fixing that, while also expanding widget support for good measure.
Apple last updated the firmware for the company's high-end, over-ear AirPods Max headphones back in March of this year. And now the company is back with another update. As is par for the course, what it actually does is a mystery at the moment.
Signing into supported apps on the Apple TV, thanks to updates to tvOS, is relatively easy. However, Apple is simplifying the process with the upcoming launch of tvOS 15. As outlined today in a developer video, the set-top box's software will soon support signing in via biometric security. On an iPhone.
Getting things done on iPad is pretty easy. Especially if you have an iPad Pro. But getting multiple things done at the same time has always been a trickier affair. But Apple's looking to address that potential sticking point with the upcoming iPadOS 15 launch.
