When is the Apple Pay release date in Ireland? You can use Apple Pay in Ireland from 7 March 2017. The two supported banks are KBC and Ulster Bank, but others are likely to offer support soon. The launch comes three months after Android Pay in Ireland. You can use Apple Pay in thousands of shops around the country, plus in apps and on certain websites. Apple Pay launched in the UK on 14 July 2015, with support from major High Street banks and retailers such as Costa, Boots, Waitrose and the London Underground....

Despite the fact that Apple doesn’t make games, the company earned $8.5 billion in operating profits from gaming in 2019. This number comes from the 30% cut from all purchases made on the App Store, with the developers of these mobile games taking the lion’s share. The revenue share allows Apple to remain such a strong contender in the gaming sphere without developing games itself. RELATED: Apple Reveals iPhone 13, Mini, and Pro With Camera Overhaul...

Headline features of the new MacBook Pro range include up to 96GB of unified memory, support for 8K external displays via HDMI, upgraded Wi-Fi 6E support and, of course, the brand new M2 Pro and M2 Max chipsets – the first of any Apple tech to feature the SoCs. Let’s start with the lower-powered (but still ridiculously powerful) Apple M2 Pro chipset. According to Apple, the chipset comes in two variants with either a 10- or 12-core CPU and boasts up to 20% better performance than last year’s M1 Pro chipset....

Up until the launch of the new 2021 MacBook Pro, Apple’s Pro laptop lineup had little to distinguish it from the entry-level Air. If you wanted a small, lightweight laptop with great power and battery life, then you bought the Air. If you wanted something to provide ambient white noise with its howling fans while quickly running the battery down, you bought a Pro. Now, as we shall see, the choices are clear....

In spite of so much to be liked about this new version, users are still reluctant to let go of old iOS due to the Google Maps application. The latest iOS 6 software does take Apple’s devices to new directions, only it lacks directions in its Apple Maps app. Apple’s new Maps app is one new addition in iOS, which is universally hated by all reviewers. Apple replaced Google Maps in iOS 6 with its own maps application, which seems to be riddled with problems....

Qi2, the straightforwardly-named sequel to all the ‘wireless’ Qi chargers in use today, will pretty much just be Apple’s MagSafe. It enables faster charging, less power waste, and, says the Wireless Power Consortium’s press release, “won’t shorten battery life or damage a user’s phone.” “MagSafe is so good that apparently, it’ll be the new standard going forward for Qi charging devices. That’s a plus for not having to carefully align your phone on a charging pad,” long-time Apple journalist Dan Moren writes on his Six Colors blog....

It was in San Jose yesterday that Apple revealed the 2010 Samsung internal report. The reports clearly showed the side by side comparisons of the Samsung S3 icon designs with iPhone. The report stated that Samsung did away with those icons, which were not user-friendly but copied the others. Susan Kare, a former Apple graphics designer paid $80,000 to be an expert witness, said “The icons for the companies’ current competing products — both are square with round edges and displayed on the device in rows of four — are “confusingly similar....

The comparisons ahead of the Apex Legends season 10 launch, of course, may come from less experience and more from the fact that they are both based on heavy ammo. The Rampage LMG also has the added benefit of charging up with a Thermite grenade, but that’s not the only difference. In fact, Game Rant recently took place in a roundtable with Respawn Entertainment, where game designer John Ellenton said the two will likely differ in practice quite a bit....

In order to gain the self-revive ability, players will need to find a legendary Knockdown Shield. This is by no means a simple task in Apex Legends, but it is worth mentioning that supply drops are known to carry gold tier (Legendary) items. It is also possible for a Legendary knockdown shield to spawn with Lifeline’s care package, though it is far less likely. Another way to find legendary items is to check around hot zones and high-tier loot spawns, which are varied across the map....

Octane himself is given the title of “High Speed Daredevil,” which complements his high maneuverability and self-sustaining abilities. According to the image, Octane’s passive will be “Swift Mend” which restores health over time while they’re not taking damage. His Tactical ability is “Adrenaline Junkie” which makes him move 30% faster over 6 seconds and costs 10% health. Finally, Octane’s Ultimate ability is a deployable launch pad that both they and their teammates can use....

The Arenas mode has been a long-rumored addition to Apex Legends with dataminers finding arena mode information before Season 7 launched. Arenas will launch on May 4 with the Legacy update and Season 9 which has plenty of balance updates and new content for players to try out.

Season 8 of the battle royale is very much in motion, as Apex Legends is currently celebrating its three-year anniversary. With each new season comes a new Legend, often a new weapon, map overhauls or sometimes a new map entirely, meta changes, and more. But in-season updates also allow for tweaks and improvements.

The newest Legend, Fuse, is a pyrotechnic-loving Aussie with explosive abilities, unlike any other character. His knuckle cluster ability launches a sticky grenade which explodes into multiple airbursts capable of dealing damage to players. His Ultimate, named The Motherlode, launches a bomb into the air which explodes and creates a ring of fire on the ground. The fire deals big damage to anyone touching it, including teammates, and can trap unaware players inside the ring....

While not everything is known about Arenas mode yet, Respawn Entertainment has confirmed that it is a 3v3 elimination game mode that will see Apex Legends playing much more similarly to Valorant. Respawn has also said that the mode will be played on five different maps made specifically for the mode, but that hasn’t stopped some players from hoping that iconic locations from the game’s history might make an appearance....

However, Octane will not be included in the Battle Pass for free. He can be obtained with 750 Apex Coins or 12,000 legend tokens. So, the important questions after the addition of Octane in Apex Legends is, how do we utilize him to his fullest potential, and which other characters would produce good chemistry with The Adrenaline Junkie? As much I have played Octane, he is played best for providing support....

As always, our Apex Legends weapon tier list is based on the weapons as players would find them on the ground, without hop-ups or attachments of any kind affecting the ranking. The tier list compares not only how strong is the gun itself, but how strong it is compared to other weapons of a similar class. The list is organized by tiers, and then alphabetically within the tier. RELATED: Apex Legends Arenas Flash Event Explained...

Recently, a YouTuber known as shomaru 7 discovered a way to make Fuse’s Motherlode much better in battle. In a video shared on Twitter, the gamer shot his Fuse Ultimate into the air and remarkably created a much larger radius of fire than should normally occur. Using this larger area of detection caused by the ring, shomaru 7 could locate the opponents on the enemy team through the walls of a nearby building....
