MacOS Monterey is the latest version of MacOS and will be available on MacBook, iMac, and Mac Mini soon. Recently, Apple has just confirmed that MacOS Monterey will support Adaptive Sync on external displays. This feature allows a lot of new Macs to support variable screen refresh rates, somewhat satisfying gamers. Macs that will receive Adaptive Sync support include versions running the M1 chip, as well as some new Intel-powered Macs to be announced later. Of course, the monitor must also support Adaptive Sync, a feature of the VESA DisplayPort 1.2a standard as the technology is also used by both Nvidia’s G-Sync and AMD’s FreeSync. The displays on the iMac and MacBook are fixed-ratio displays, so neither of them support this feature. Apple claims that enabling the feature will be very easy to do. After connecting a compatible Adaptive Sync display to a Mac, all the user has to do is select the refresh rate in System Preferences > Displays. Adaptive Sync is a technology that eliminates screen tearing, stuttering, and input lag. It synchronizes the screen refresh rate with the frames per second (fps) provided by the graphics card. The result is a smoother gaming experience as the display adapts to what’s happening in the game. Although, Mac computers are often not the first choice when it comes to gaming computers, they are often preferred by content creators. But who knows, the addition of Adaptive Sync suggests that Apple may be looking to expand its reach to a whole new set of customers. The arrival of Adaptive Sync support could suggest that Apple plans to bring higher refresh rate displays to Macs in the future. MacOS Monterey is currently in beta and is open to developers only. Apple plans to open public beta testing in July, allowing some users to start using Adaptive Sync soon. If everything goes according to schedule, MacOS Monterey will be released on all compatible devices in the fall.

Here, Apple officially announced the new generation of software series, including: iOS 15, iPadOS 15, macOS Monterey and watchOS 8. (Photo: XDA Developers) Apple’s event did not have the appearance of hardware products as previously rumored. This makes many fans feel disappointed because waiting for the launch of Apple’s new MacBook Pro. However, Apple accidentally leaked information about its next-generation MacBook Pro laptop and M1X chip during the WWDC 2021 event that took place last week. Specifically, in the live video of the WWDC event on YouTube, 9to5Mac’s Max Balzer discovered 2 tags “M1X MacBook Pro” and “M1X” added by Apple to the description of the video even during the entire event. , “Apple defect” does not mention the MacBook Pro laptop or the new generation M1X chip. (Photo: Max Balzer / 9to5Mac) This leads the technology world to believe that Apple has accidentally leaked information about a product that it has never launched – the new generation MacBook Pro with the M1X chip – an upgraded version of the M1 chip that Apple launched in 2016. last. This is considered an unbelievable mistake by Apple, when so far, the company is still famous for keeping the information confidential of its products until the launch date. (Photo: UNSPLASH) Apple’s confusing mistake also reinforces the credibility of the leaked information previously posted by analysts and many technology sites. Three weeks ago, Mark Gurman of Bloomberg once said that users will soon see the 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro “this summer”. The new generation MacBook Pro will come with an SD card slot, an HDMI port, MagSafe charging, a high-performance GPU, a CPU with twice the number of RAM cores up to 64GB. (Photo: Internet) Ming-chi Kuo also said that the MacBook Pro 2021 is expected to put an end to Intel chipsets and Apple will gradually equip Apple Silicon chips for the entire product ecosystem in the future. Another source said that the new generation chipset on the 14-inch MacBook Pro will be called M1X, with up to 20 cores (up to 16 high-performance cores), a significant upgrade over the 8-core chip (4 high, 4 low) existing M1 chip.

At WWDC 2021, Apple introduces a lot of new features and many of these features are really worrying for developers, because their products can be “killed” by Apple. Zoom (and other video conferencing applications) It’s hard to imagine a tool as useful during a pandemic as a video calling and conferencing app (with the exception of soap and sanitizer). We’ve all spent countless hours on Zoom, Skype, and Google Meet working, and when it’s done, many of us turn to Apple’s FaceTime to chat with family at home. FaceTime on Android and Windows With its simplicity, even the elderly can easily use FaceTime, but it is too simple to use in the company. With iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and macOS Monterey, FaceTime is about to rival Zoom, with grace features that allow voice enhancement while eliminating background noise, and the ability to create and schedule links in advance. FaceTime calls. Most importantly, Windows and Android users can also participate in FaceTime calls through the web interface, thus no longer relying on Apple hardware. Citymapper Citymapper Traveling on public transport in a city you’ve never been to can be a daunting challenge. Not only do you have to figure out which trains or buses to take, but you also have to know when to get off to get to your desired destination. That’s why there are apps like Citymapper, which function like satellites for subways, buses and trains. But in iOS 15, Apple is incorporating similar functionality into Maps to convince iPhone users not to use Google Maps instead. Not only will you see the progress of your vehicle updated in real time, you’ll also get advanced alerts on when you need to get off and then directions to where you need to go. you back on the road. Peloton Artist Series Training Program Nothing motivates you to work out like the perfect tracks and your favorite artists, which is what Peloton has leveraged in its Artist Series collaboration with celebrity: a series exercises in which the entire music is centered around a single artist as part of a formal partnership. With Fitness, Apple is aiming for Peloton’s success, and with the help of the company’s massive music streaming service, it will soon introduce the new Artist Spotlight Series, where workouts will feature an entire playlist. from a single artist. The first themed workouts will be based on the music catalog of Lady Gaga, Keith Urban, Alicia Keys and Jennifer Lopez. Multi-device keyboard and mouse iPhones and iPads have been compatible with wireless keyboards for years, making typing easier and helping turn both devices into true productivity tools. That’s led to makers of multi-device keyboards and mice that can quickly switch between controlling different devices — like laptops, phones, and tablets — through a single switch. simple change. With macOS Monterey, a new feature called Universal Control will make such accessories unnecessary for Apple users. A mouse and keyboard (or trackpad) can be used to not only control multiple devices, but control them all at once, when the pointer can move to another device’s screen. This feature takes it a step further and allows for easy dragging of files between Apple devices, simplifying the way iOS and macOS devices share documents. You may see this feature as “Mouse without Borders” on Windows, but the way Apple does it is much more intuitive and logical.

Photo: Apple Insider Apple claims that all Apple Music users will get improved sound with Apple Music Lossless, Dolby Atmos, but to use this feature users also need to have the right headphones. Apple Music will get its first major update with the launch of Spatial Audio, Dolby Atmos, and Lossless Audio in June 2021. Apple plans to make its entire library of 75 million songs streamable route at a new, higher quality (Lossless). Headphones that use the Dolby (Spatial Sound) feature The Dolby Atmos feature is automatically enabled if the user owns the following headphones: – AirPods – AirPods Pro – AirPods Max – BeatsX – Beats Solo3 wireless – Beats Studio3 – Powerbeats 3 wireless – Beats Flex – Powerbeats Pro – Beats Solo Pro With any of these devices, Apple Music will automatically switch to Dolby Atmos when available. Some other headphones can also be used, but they do not switch automatically. Instead, the user has to go to Setting , Music , Sound and switch settings Dolby Atmos newly made Always On . However, with the Lossless Audio feature, only a few of the above headphones can be used. In fact, no wireless headset device can use the Hi-Res Lossless Audio feature. Apple has confirmed that even AirPods Max does not support Hi-Res Lossless. To use this feature, Apple notes that it requires an external device, like a USB to Analog converter. Apple devices will play Lossless audio As well as headphones, many Apple devices are also capable of playing Dolby Atmos and Lossless Audio from their built-in speakers: – iPhone 7 and above – iPad Pro 12.9 inch (3rd Gen) – iPad Pro 11 inch – iPad (6th Generation) or later – iPad Air (3rd Generation) or later – iPad mini (5th Generation) or later – MacBook Pro (2018) or later – HomePod and HomePod mini While consumers won’t be able to listen to Lossless Audio via HomePod and HomePod mini at the time of launch, Apple has confirmed that a firmware update will be supported to enable these special features. this. Photo: Apple Insider Listen to Lossless Music on Apple TV, iPhone, iPad and Mac Lossless Audio will require users to use the latest operating systems such as iOS 14.6, iPadOS 14.6, macOS 11.4 or tvOS 14.6 or later. For Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, and Mac, users must manually enable the new sound quality. Go Setting , Music , Sound quality . There will be an option to enable Lossless . To use this feature on Apple TV, users will need to connect the TV to a compatible speaker device. Also for uninterrupted Lossless audio streaming will depend on your internet connection. Apple confirmed that users can switch between Lossless and Hi-Res Lossless depending on whether they are on a cellular or Wi-Fi network.

Google Chrome 90 on macOS and Linux does not appear to be affected. Photo: MINH HOANG A Google product expert seems to have identified the problem. “It seems that this issue is related to the User Data folder of the computer, so using Google Chrome (beta) should solve the problem.” However, if you just want to use the stable version of Google Chrome, you can follow these steps to prevent problems. First, close the browser and press the Windows + E key combination to open File Explorer, then paste the %LOCALAPPDATA%GoogleChromeUser Data link in the address bar and press Enter. Next, delete the Local State file, then reopen the Google Chrome browser. If the problem is still not fixed, the user can simply go back to %LOCALAPPDATA%GoogleChromeUser Data, copy everything here to another place, such as the Desktop. Then, rename the User Data folder to any name (different from the old name) and reopen the Google Chrome browser. Currently Google has confirmed the issue, and it will probably be fixed in the near future through a new update.

At the center of this long-running lawsuit is Fortnite, a popular video game produced by Epic that was removed from Apple’s App Store last summer for violating Apple’s rules on technical billing. due to have arbitrarily established a payment system of their own. Apple takes 30% of the value of in-app purchases on iOS devices and does not allow the use of alternative payment systems. Fortnite’s removal from the App Store prompted Epic to file a lawsuit against Apple. Squeeze the developer Epic accuses Apple of having monopolistic control over the “ecosystem” of the iOS operating system, with app makers forced to abide by its strict restrictions if they want access to hundreds of thousands of users. million iPhone and iPad users, Apple also countered that there are several other places where users can buy apps and their commissions help the company make its devices better and more secure. The CEO has his first court appearance since taking power at Apple. Photo: Getty. Several executives from both sides also testified, including Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of software engineering, and Phil Schiller, Apple’s former chief marketing officer, now serving as Apple’s senior vice president of software engineering. new role as Apple Fellow. Both were subpoenaed by the court earlier this week. Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney is the first witness in the nearly three-week trial and is expected to end on Monday. Tim Cook and Apple are facing many dangers, not only this cult lawsuit. Cook’s testimony on Friday is likely to spark a battle against the growing antitrust pressure it is facing. Other “Frenemy” (meaning both friends and enemies) like Spotify and Match Group, the owner of Tinder, have all accused Apple of anti-competitive behavior. Even legal authorities in some countries including the US and UK have launched investigations into Apple’s regulations. Despite numerous defenses before Congress and numerous public appearances and interviews, Mr Cook appears to be preparing for his day in court. According to a report from Wall Street Journal , he spent many hours mock interrogation with former prosecutors to simulate what he might face during the trial. “The scary thing for Epic is that Tim Cook is such a compelling witness,” said Herbert Hovenkap, professor of legal studies and business ethics at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. He’s doing what he’s been paid to do, which is bringing Apple’s lawsuit to the public.” According to the list of witnesses presented to the court, Mr. Cook will speak about “Corporate Values; Apple’s business operations and the development and launch of the App Store; the competition that Apple faces.” An Apple representative said Mr. Cook is likely to share more from his personal perspective on security and privacy issues – issues he has often criticized companies in the past – and the importance of them to Apple’s product philosophy. Roses come with quality Mr. Cook is expected to synthesize and strengthen the arguments that other Apple lawyers, experts and executives have made during the trial – that the iPhone’s App Store is not a proprietary trademark. The company argues that the 30% commission it receives through in-app purchases is not an illegal gain, but rather to make Apple devices better, more secure like their strict management of applications on Apple devices. In his testimony, Schiller highlighted the amount of money Apple has spent on research and development — an estimated $100 billion over the past 15 years — to make product improvements that developers are benefiting from. it. He also sought to counter Epic’s efforts to accuse Apple of being a monopolist. The lawsuit between Apple and Epic will determine the future of the relationship between app developers and Apple. Photo: Cnet. Epic Games company says Apple is forcing developers to play by its draconian rules such as only using the App Store and means of paying for in-app purchases if it wants to gain access to a market of more than a billion dollars. iPhone and iPad users. (Michael Schmid, Apple’s head of game business development for the App Store, revealed during the trial that Apple made more than $100 million in commissions from Fortnite.) Schiller also listed a range of Apple competitors: Google, Samsung, Motorola, Huawei and even game consoles like Sony’s PlayStation, Microsoft’s Xbox and Nintendo’s Switch. Apple claims that many of these companies also take 30% commissions and have similar restrictions on outside apps. “There are still a lot of other competitors in the distribution of applications, not just Apple,” he added. Federighi, the company’s chief software officer, further emphasized the importance of Apple’s security measures for the iOS operating system on its mobile devices. He even heavily criticized the company’s MacOS computer operating system during the trial. Unlike iPhones, Macbook laptops allow the use and download of applications from outside, a process known as “side-loading”. Epic has repeatedly pointed out and called on Apple to emulate this approach with its mobile devices. However, Apple’s lawyers and executives argue that the iPhone needs to be more secure because the risk of the device being exposed to security holes and exploitation is great, especially when smartphones are used. often contain more sensitive personal data of users than other devices such as computers, laptops… “If you take Mac security techniques and apply them to the iOS ecosystem, with so many devices and value for it, things are going to be a lot worse than they already are. on Mac,” said Mr. Federighi. “We now have a bunch of malware on Mac, which is much worse than iOS. It’s not acceptable!”. Florian Ederer, an economics professor at the Yale School of Management, thinks Cook will stick to his earlier arguments. “It is very difficult to get any new information or arguments from this CEO’s testimony that have not yet been brought to the attention of the judge,” he said. “Basically, having Cook in court is Apple’s best move to show the judge that they are taking this matter completely seriously. If there is any other purpose, perhaps it is the respect of Cook in particular and Apple in general for this lengthy litigation process,” Ederer added.

Hackers can obtain sensitive user’s information through the vulnerability in AirDrop. Photo: TU Darmstadt. “An attacker could obtain a user’s phone number and email through AirDrop,” the team said. “They just need to use a device with Wi-Fi capable, reach the target at close range to start the mining process by opening the sharing feature on iOS or macOS device.” According to the 9to5mac There are two steps in the mechanism of AirDrop action leading to this critical vulnerability. First, in order to provide users with the option “Contacts Only” in the AirDrop sharing feature, Apple devices silently collect information on devices within the connection range. To see if the “other party” is in the contacts list, AirDrop uses a mutual authentication mechanism, comparing the user’s phone number and email address with the entries in the address book. The device authentication step in the directory can be exploited to get information. Photo: Monica Chin. In the next step, data is exchanged for both parties. Despite encryption, Apple uses a relatively weak hashing mechanism. Security experts can decompile the hash using a simple technique like a brute-force attack. The team addressed the AirDrop vulnerability with a more secure approach, they named PrivateDrop. However, Apple did not move after being warned of the risk of personal information leaks and privacy breaches. In the immediate future, experts from the Technical University of Darmstadt advise users to protect themselves by disabling AirDrop discovery in the system settings and not opening the share menu. The detailed results of the study will be presented at the USENIX security Symposium taking place in August. Why does iPhone not have USB-C port? In the past 5 years, USB-C has become the suitable connector for a wide variety of devices such as Android phones, laptops and tablets. However, Apple still doesn’t make iPhones with USB-C ports.
