Day updates at Apple. And all the devices have caught. So tonight our iPhones, iPads, Apple Watch, Apple TV and Macs will go through the tube if we have automatic updates activated, and if not, then to do it manually.

And for the dates that we are, most likely they are the last updates that are released before the new firmwares presented at WWDC 2020, and that are already running in beta 2 phase by Apple developers' devices.

Apple just released a few hours ago macOS Catalina 10.15.6, watchOS 6.2.8 and tvOS 13.4.8 along with the firmwares for the iPhone and iPad.

macOS Catalina 10.15.6 is a minor update that adds local Apple News stories in San Francisco, the Bay Area, Los Angeles, Houston and New York, plus it introduces personalization for the daily Apple News bulletin.

The update also fixes an issue where some USB mice and trackpads could lose connection. An issue that was affecting USB 2.0 devices that were used with the new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models.

The update TvOS 13.4.8 It does not present notable improvements, so you simply have to correct some errors, or an improvement in the security issue.

watchOS 6.2.8 with Car Key support

Watch 6.2.8 introduces Car Key, a feature also available on the iPhone with iOS 13.6. Car Key is designed to allow an iPhone or Apple Watch to be used in place of a physical key to unlock an NFC compatible vehicle.

BMW's Digital Key for iPhone feature will allow iPhone owners to tap to unlock their vehicles, start the car by placing the iPhone on the smartphone tray, place limitations on young drivers and share the keys with up to five other users.

    I have had a 16 ”MBP for a month, in such a short time the support does not give me an answer, explained:
    Key problem (not all) for letters like: i, o, u, m… 8,9,0.
    With the integrated keyboard and with two keyboards apple keyboard 1 and magic 2.

    In this update they will do something, because of course the problem is not hardware Dino software.

      Hello, Enrique. When there are software problems, they are usually widespread and complaints quickly arise on forums and twitter. We are not aware of this keyboard problem. However, update to see if it is solved. But it seems like an individual hardware problem. If it happens to you with different keyboards, it could be an input device driver failure. If you only have a month, go to your nearest Store with your MacBook under your arm and see how they solve it. Luck.
