On November 17, 2021, Apple announced its own self-service repair program. This is designed specifically around the right-to-repair movement, a response to so many demands out there in the wild that owners of iPhones and iPads and Macs (and other devices) be allowed to repair their own devices without voiding any warranties. It's a way of thinking Apple hasn't subscribed to for quite some time, but it finally came around.
Rich messaging between Android and iPhone customers was never free of annoyances, but now Google has started to interpret iMessage reactions as emoji characters instead of displaying them as text, which can be confusing and distracting to Android users.
Apple has the unenviable task of always being under the spotlight. It's just one of the things that comes with being a company like Apple. (Though, some other large companies seem to avoid the same microscopes. But that's a different topic for a different day.)

Hot on the heels of Apple releasing iOS 15.1.1 to the public earlier this week, which patched a relatively smaller issue, Apple is back with another update. But this one's for the Apple Watch. Specifically, for the Apple Watch Series 7, which has apparently run into some charging issues for some owners out in the wild.
What, exactly, is the Apple Car? Is it an actual vehicle that consumers will be able to buy one day? Was it that, at some point, but has ultimately transformed into something else -- like a fleet of autonomous vehicles meant to ferry employees? Or is it a fully autonomous, consumer-focused vehicle meant to get you and your family to where you need to go? None of these? Who knows!
Martin Scorsese, one of the world's greatest directors, is coming out with a film called Killers of the Flower Moon soon. It will make its big debut on Apple TV+ in the relatively near future. But the filmmaker already has his sights set on yet another project, and, it, too, will be showing up on Apple's video streaming service.
When Apple brought iOS 13 into the world, it brought with it real-time lyrics support for Apple Music subscribers. This meant, on supported songs, users could have the lyrics presented to them with fluid animation, keeping up with the song in real time. It's a handy feature, supported across different devices and Apple's platforms. So of course Spotify needed to get in on the action, too.
SharePlay for Mac will launch as part of a macOS Monterey update scheduled to launch publicly with a tentative "later-this-year" release date, Apple has acknowledged today.
