The year is coming to a close, but December will still bring a variety of new Apple releases. Software and services will especially be highlights. Here’s what’s coming soon, and what isn’t.
Apple today announced that it will again donate $5 for every purchase made using Apple Pay on Apple.com, through the Apple Store app, or at an Apple Store to The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria from November 29 through December 8. Apple said its donation this year will be capped at $3 million.
The keyboard feels very stable and has the right Mac layout that I need. The mouse is feather light to the point that I needed to slow down my cursor tracking speed. And the volume knob is a delightful control.
Mercedes-Benz has announced a new Apple Watch app with a wide range of functionality. The app is available today and includes real-time vehicle information, the ability to lock and unlock your car, and more.
Since 2006, Apple has partnered with the (RED) brand to raise money for The Global Fund, an organization that aims to combat diseases such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria in Africa. Through this partnership, Apple has long offered a (PRODUCT)RED color option for some products, but it has scaled back this effort over the past few years.
To every one who celebrates, happy thanksgiving.
And to every one working at Apple, here's wishing you a few more slow news day, and that there are no regulators knocking on your doors and threaten you to do something in order not to fine you every day.
