Apple recently announced that the next versions of iOS and macOS will include support for handling encrypted DNS communications. In a presentation at WWDC 2020, the company said that when iOS 14 and macOS 11 release this fall, both operating systems will support DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) and DNS-over-TLS (DoT).

As expected, Apple's first MacBook Pro with a Retina display is now officially classed as "obsolete" worldwide, just over eight years after its release. In a support document, Apple notes that obsolete products are no longer eligible for hardware service, with "no exceptions." This means that any mid-2012 Retina ‌MacBook Pro‌ 15-inch models still out there that require a battery or other repairs will no longer be accepted by Apple.

As expected, developers with early access to Apple silicon-based transition kits have leaked some early benchmark scores. And it’s bad news for Surface Pro X and Windows 10 on ARM fans.

WWDC 2020 has concluded, and that means it's time to glean some insights from all the documentation, sessions, and other materials that Apple released. We're going to do this on a few topics in the coming weeks, but to start, we're looking at the new initiatives and features Apple has announced for game developers on the iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and macOS platforms.

Two new camera modes could be coming to some models of Apple's "iPhone 12," according to YouTube channel EverythingApplePro and Max Weinbach. Specifically, the video modes are said to include the ability to shoot 4K video at 120fps and 240fps. The new modes are thought to be coming to Apple's higher-end "‌iPhone 12‌ Pro" and "‌iPhone 12‌ Pro Max". Weinbach reportedly tore down the Camera app in the recently released developer build of iOS 14 and found references to the new video modes.

Apple today named eight app and game developers receiving an Apple Design Award, each one selected for being thoughtful and creative. Apple Design Award winners bring distinctive new ideas to life and demonstrate deep mastery of Apple technology. The apps spring up from developers large and small, in every part of the world, and provide users with new ways of working, creating, and playing.

Apple announced the transition to ARM at this year's WWDC and the move has been largely welcomed given its potential for seamless computing across mobile and desktop. Apple also made available a Developer Transition Kit (DTK) to enable developers to get started with creating apps that run on macOS 11 Big Sur powered by Apple Silicon. Now, several Geekbench 5 benchmarks have now leaked despite the use of the DTK being governed by a non-disclosure agreement (NDA).

When iOS 4 was launched in 2010, Game Center was one of the big draws: the feature made it possible to play games against friends online, keep track of scores and achievements and more. But for four years now, Game Center has been out of favour, having been dropped from iOS 10 and macOS Sierra.

iOS 14 is better about letting you know when your iPhone accessories are charged or need charging, and there is a new feature that sends a...

As part of WWDC last week, Apple announced that it will be switching to its own custom-designed processors for Macs starting later this year. As part of this transition, the company is allowing developers to apply for a modified Mac mini with an A12Z chip and 16GB of RAM to develop and test their apps on a Mac with Arm-based architecture. As noted on Twitter and in the MacRumors forums, some developers are now beginning to receive this Mac mini, which is officially known as the "Developer Transition Kit."

Microsoft has thrown its weight behind calls for an antitrust investigation into App Store monopolies, piling yet more pressure on Apple as the iPhone maker prepares for its annual developer conference on Monday. Brad Smith, Microsoft’s president, criticised the 30% cut that app stores take from developers this month, and argued that the policy is a far higher burden on fair competition than the issues that led to Microsoft’s antitrust case in the early 2000s.
