In a somewhat vague (and saccharine) news post, Apple reminisces about the story of the original iPod through today’s iPod Touch and implies things are coming to an end. Or more specifically, Apple is indicating that iPod Touch production has halted, and what’s currently stocked is all that remains. “Music has always been part of our core at Apple, and bringing it to hundreds of millions of users in the way iPod did impacted more than just the music industry," said Apple’s senior VP of Worldwide Marketing, Greg Joswiak, in the announcement, “Today, the spirit of iPod lives on....

“At least six companies are in negotiations” with Apple, an executive at an automotive parts supplier told Nikkei, as relayed by Bloomberg. Shares of Toyota, Mitsubishi, Mazda, and Nissan rose on the news. The company’s research facility in Yokohama should be tasked with materials, vehicle development, and safety features. It will reportedly double as the main hub for partnering with domestic vehicle manufacturers and components producers. Jun Seki, the COO at Nidec, a Japanese supplier of electric motors, was quoted as saying:...

Spatial Audio creates depth and room for the music to breathe and be arranged in potentially new ways. Initially, this technology is demonstrated by not just shifting between left and right but by the sound’s having the extra front and rear dimensions to surround you even better. To fully experience its benefits, press play on a Dolby Atmos song and then, while it’s going, head to the iPhone’s settings and, under music, turn off Dolby Atmos to go back to listening in stereo....

When Will Apple Pay Later Launch? The release date for Apple Pay Later is unknown. The offering was announced in June 2022 at the company’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) and was expected to launch in Fall 2022. That didn’t happen, and the company hasn’t confirmed a new date, but speculation is that Apple Pay Later will launch in Spring 2023. At launch, the service will likely be available only in the United States, although maybe not in all states; local laws and regulations will determine that—with other countries to follow later....

Apple’s changes for Epic Games on its platform are set to go into effect on Friday, August 28, and will result in all Epic Games products being removed from the App Store. In response to the move, Epic Games has filed a motion for a temporary restraining order against Apple, and asked courts to block Apple’s action. Fortnite released a short swiping at Apple, which seems to have worsened the conflict between the two companies....

It’s called Freeform, and it’s kind of like a never-ending whiteboard. It showcases the new collaborative features found in iOS 16 and macOS 13 Ventura and allows several people to work on the same canvas simultaneously. For a first effort, it’s not bad. But it lacks the kind of depth and polish that Apple will need to break into the collaborative document space dominated by Microsoft and Google. “The main drawback of Apple’s Freeform is that it is iOS / iPadOS exclusive, [but] not all members of teams are using Apple devices, so the team itself may be discouraged to explore this app’s capabilities,” Rajesh Namase, technology writer and co-founder of TechRT, told Lifewire via email....

The patent and image, originally filed in 2013, has reportedly been updated to include design details that confirm a glass body and looping display. The iPhone 11 and 11 Pro have the same notch design first seen in 2017 on the iPhone X that was carried through to the iPhone XS and XR last year too. Apple is due a major design update but it is still uncertain if a wraparound or ‘waterfall’ display will be the solution....

The AppleCare+ product previously required customers to pay the full repair price should they accidentally damage their device for the third time in a year. That limited people who regularly drop their iPhones, but the expansion to allow “unlimited repairs” means that the pressure is now off—and fewer people will be forced to use broken handsets despite having already paid for AppleCare+. The same goes for Apple Watches and other products, too....

Posting to the social media platform last week, Natalya Haddix said that she has “never been so disrespected in my life.” The post has garnered over 188,000 views and more than 1,700 comments from viewers who couldn’t agree whether or not the interview process Haddix described really was “disrespectful.” Haddix’s story also illustrated a couple of red flags experts warn applicants to be mindful of during the job interview process....

During the trial, more information about the alleged wrongdoings of both parties surfaced, but fans still want Heard’s face to be wiped clean from the Aquaman sequel....

Arc System Works has recently started a trend of creating fighting games from licensed franchises. The best example of these is Dragon Ball FighterZ and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. While both of these games are made by the same company, they are very different games. Here are some of the many differences between the two games. 10 The Games Represent Different Franchises One of the more obvious differences between the two games is that they are based on two different franchises: Dragon Ball FighterZ is based on the Dragon Ball series, while Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is based on the Persona games, particularly Persona 3 and 4....

Wearing a cream and green coloured ’lehenga-chunhi’, the 24-year-old Deepika was seen performing a traditional puja with the 26-year-old Atanu at her Ratu-Chatti residence Monday. Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Arjun Munda and his wife Mira Munda were present on the occasion. After the engagement ceremony, both the archers told the media that 2019 will be a busy year, which will include the Olympic qualifications. “So we have decided to tie the knot around November next year,” Das and Deepika, who were part of the Indian contingent at Rio Olympics, said....

Chief royal correspondent Jack Royston and royal commentator Kristen Meinzer discussed the possible fallout, should Charles decide to revoke the titles of prince and princess that Archie and Lilibet became entitled to on the accession of their grandfather. They advised the monarch to “play the long game” and to “think about the fact that these two kids are going to be adults one day.” The pair discussed the question of the titles following this month’s interview given by Meghan to Variety about her involvement in the entertainment industry....

The amazing architecture–an engineering marvel of glass and crisscrossed steel that jut and cantilever–is the work of Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas. When he got the commission, he and the library’s board visited a number of libraries in the United States and Europe. “The beauty of the process was that we started not by designing but by thinking,” he says. “In almost every case,” says City Librarian Deborah Jacobs, “we saw the encroachment of books on public spaces....

Speculations indicate the screen resolution of Google Nexus 7 2 to be 1,920 x 1,200 pixels. The iPad Mini will roll out sans the Retina Display with a resolution of 1,024 x 768 pixels. Clearly the display of Nexus 7 2 is going to be brighter and better. However, Google is expected to unveil the device with a price tag in between $249 to $299 for the basic Wi-Fi variant, whereas Apple’s non-Retina iPad mini might roll out with a $329 price tag....

While the sales of Apple iPhone have increased over the last quarter, Apple’s share of worldwide phone sales has actually fallen to 14 percent from the 19 percent it was at this time last year. In the same period Samsung’s phone sales have risen from 30 to 32 percent. Quite simply, the Korean company Samsung has a whole lot more on offer than Apple, which has only ever had three iPhones available at the same time....
