The new News Partner Program offers publishers the following deal: If you “maintain a robust Apple News channel,” then Apple will halve its cut of your in-app subscription sales. Right now, Apple is under pressure to reduce the rent it seeks for letting publishers and developers sell stuff for its platforms, with various antitrust investigations slowly lumbering into action. At the same time, Apple News is the laggard of Apple services, and could do with a boost....

According to TechCrunch, the manufacturing plant in Chennai is turning out the ‘iPhone 11 lineup’, though it’s not clear if that includes the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max, or whether it’s just the lower-cost iPhone 11. The anonymous source for the article said that production yield is fairly limited but that some units had already been shipped to retail stores. The iPhone XR is still manufactured in India, and in the past Apple has continued to produce the iPhone SE, 6s, and 7 models there, but not when they were top of the line....

Er&yeah. A.PL Internet SA is the company’s official name, and it’s an online deli site that advertises delivery straight to its customers’ doors. It does happen to be named A.pl–“.pl” is the country domain for Poland. Apple is taking issue with its “trademark,” however, and has demanded that the Polish Patent Office cancel its trademark. And this is not a new blip on Apple’s radar–Apple also objected to the registration of the trademark in the first place....

Why Is My Apple Watch Not Pinging My iPhone? The Ping function means you can easily find your iPhone using your Apple Watch, so if this function isn’t working, it can be intensely frustrating. Here’s a look at reasons why your Apple Watch might not be pinging your iPhone. Your connection has dropped. Your iPhone and Apple Watch use Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to communicate with each other. If there’s an issue with either, it’s not possible to ping your iPhone....

There are many stories about apes and monkeys grieving for their dead. For example, a BBC documentary in 2017 appeared to show a group of langur monkeys grieving for what they believe is a dead baby—even though it was actually just a robotic spy monkey. The same year, scientists observed a chimpanzee using tools to clean the body of a deceased group member. A female sat down with the dead male and used a firm stem of grass to clean his teeth....

While in his drone’s manual control mode, he can do a variety of things. The drone can locate enemy positions. It can see how many squads are within a 200m radius of Crypto, ping loot for squadmates, and scan beacons to find the next ring. It can interact with doors, supply bins, and care packages. It can also pick up dead squadmates’ banners from their death boxes and respawn them remotely by interacting with a respawn beacon....

And yet, Revenant wasn’t always the heartless murderbot people know him as today. According to an exchange between him and fellow legend Pathfinder in the Apex Legends lore book “Pathfinder’s Quest”, Revenant used to be a human named Kaleb Cross. Though it is hard to discern if what Revenant says about himself is true, it is the closest thing to an origin story the first simulacrum has. RELATED: Explaining Apex Legends’ New Map Teaser...

Now, this heavy weapons expert is finally joining the fight. To help players get ready for Season 6, here is everything we know about Rampart leading up to the Season 6 launch. RELATED: Apex Legends Season 6 Will Buff Loba Who is Rampart? Ramya Parekh, under the code-name Rampart, ran a modding shop on the planet Gaea before joining the Apex Games. Prior to her rising to Legend status, she did many jobs for organizations of all kinds, whether on the up-and-up or otherwise, as her modding skill was, and still is, unmatched across the system....

Not only is Storm Point bigger, but it has more ways to rotate, to drop, and to do combat across the entire map. Storm Point falls in line with Kings Canyon and Olympus in this sort of create-this-picture design, but because of its use of an actual island, it makes gameplay feel much more unique. Game Rant previously attended an Apex Legends preview event for Storm Point and walked away quite impressed with the map....

This means that, despite some criticism here and there, many fans are enjoying returning to the Winter Express. Apex Legends players aren’t likely returning to its because of its holiday decorations, though. It’s far more likely that it’s because of how it changes the standard battle royale formula, and with Apex Legends stating it wants to expand beyond that, there’s not a better baseline than Winter Express.

Now, Apex Legends has seen yet another content leak, this time focusing on the next Town Takeover event theme and character.

Truth be told, it could be anyone. Respawn has proven itself capable of keeping secrets and misleading dataminers, with the Forge/Revenant debacle being a prime example. However, if recent rumors, leaks, and datamines regarding Apex Legends season 10 are to be believed, the next legend to join the games will be known as Seer, or Pariah.

According to a datamine by GamingINTEL, Prophet will have an ability called Precog, presumed to be short for Precognition. We can’t tell for sure what the Precognition ability will do, but it seems likely that it will give players some sort of advantage by giving them future knowledge. Possibilities include knowing where the final circle will be before everyone else, or perhaps getting an advanced indication of where supply drops are going to land....

The title should not be a huge surprise for you if you are a die-hard fan of the game. Even if you are one who constantly involved in this game, the stats won’t surprise you much.

It has become a real problem in the game, as anyone with enough money can buy an exploit, or multiple, and take advantage of the other players in the game. There are currently anti-cheat systems in place in Apex Legends, but it falls short of what is needed and hackers like Tufi have not been ashamed of pointing it out. There is anti-cheat software, but hackers are known for finding ways to bypass those systems, making it useless against moderate level cheaters....

The new Caustic town takeover will be a permanent change to Kings Canyon, the first Apex Legends map, and will also bring the removal of Mirage Voyage. A lot of the features and new items have been teased recently by in-game lore, such as the Caustic town takeover, or leaked long ago like the Bangalore heirloom set.

Apex Legends Season 2, officially dubbed Battle Charge, releases July 2 and Wattson, in a vein similar to Octane, will appear alongside the official launch. Her playstyle is described as the most synergistic, with strong defenses that change the overall battle approach from all angles and could disrupt the standard tri-member party (Wraith, Bangalore, Lifeline, etc.) Wattson’s abilities are described as the most interrelated of all Apex Legends’ characters. Her passive ability sees her ultimate ability receive a full charge from an Ultimate Accelerant instead of the standard 20% increase in charge....
