Before Apple kicked off this year's Worldwide Developers Conference, the company announced this year's finalists for the annual Apple Design Awards. Now, with the conference about to wrap up for the year, the winners have been revealed.
The rumor mill refuses to give up on the idea that Apple is building an electric car. "Project Titan" has been humming along for quite some, and it appears Apple is not ready to give up on those same aspirations, either. Indeed, the company has recently landed a pretty big hire to help make it a reality one day.
Passwords have been around long enough that it's a ubiquitous element to securing things just about anywhere. But while there are always strides to make them as secure as possible, there's always that chance it won't be enough.

With tvOS seemingly an afterthought at WWDC21, you'd be right to wonder whether Apple might have forgotten about the Apple TV. Don't worry, it hasn't.

It's par for the course for Apple executives to start making the rounds after major announcements. And the company's annual Worldwide Developers Conference is certainly no different.

Apple made waves back in 2020 by acquiring one of the most popular weather apps out there. Bringing Dark Sky into the fold had a lot of iOS users excited to see what that would mean for the stock Weather app. And maybe that would mean a Weather app for iPad (and support for CarPlay). We're still waiting for those things, even if the Weather app is getting a Dark Sky infusion with iOS 15.
The Apple Maps app is designed to display maps in light or dark mode based on one of two different circumstances; 1) the user’s system light or dark mode setting, and 2) the time of day it is.
