Bottom line: In addition to implementing an appeal mechanism for developers on the App Store, Apple at WWDC 2020 also revealed that it will no longer delay bug fix updates for apps that are in violation of its App Store guidelines, except those of a legal nature. With the changes going live recently, Apple is now welcoming suggestions from developers regarding its App Store policies and development platform in

Why it matters: Despite the pandemic causing smartphone sales to plummet, Apple appears confident that its upcoming 5G iPhones will see high demand. According to a new report, the company has asked suppliers to make at least 75 million handsets for later this year. It's also preparing a new iPad Air and smaller HomePod, along with other devices.

Citing people familiar with the matter, Bloomberg writes that Apple expects 5G iPhone 12 shipments to reach as high as 80 million in 2020

What just happened? Does the sound of receiving your Amazon order within 30 minutes of clicking ‘Buy now’ sound appealing? The retail giant has taken a major step toward that goal after the Federal Aviation Administration granted it approval for drone deliveries.

Rumor mill: Apple is moving away from Intel CPUs and replacing them with ARM-based solutions of its own, and if a new report is to be believed, Apple may also be moving away from Radeon GPUs in the coming years in the quest for self-sufficiency and total efficiency.

Apple has been hard at work internally to move the Mac away from Intel's x86 CPUs to custom silicon based on ARM, and the company has promised to reveal the first results of those efforts in a product launch

Forward-looking: Samsung has begun mass production of their newest generation of LPDDR5 mobile memory chips at the world's largest semiconductor line. Compared to their previous best, density jumps to 16Gb per chip, and performance increases by 16%. We'll likely see phones with this technology as soon as this holiday season, packing 16GB of system memory or possibly more

The big picture: For comparison, Microsoft has said that its upcoming Xbox Series X will be able to play all games that are currently playable on the Xbox One (except those that use a Kinect) through its backward compatibility system.
