The day has come when millions of people come together to spend precious moments. Many will do it this afternoon, others have already started the festivities, others will have to work. Be that as it may, we wish you a Merry Christmas.
As every Sunday and today is not going to be less, we bring you this week's news compilation. There is news that has been very popular and that is that Apple has confirmed that, indeed, it slows down its iOS devices when the batteries degrade to keep them running.
We'll see how those from Cupertino come out of this, because there are many, many users who are very angry with the issue. However, this is not the only news that has happened this week. Let's start with the review of the most viewed articles.
When it seemed that the shipping of the AirPods had normalized in 3-5 days, Apple has suffered a small stock break in the product that can become the star product of this Christmas. Either because of its price, € 179 or because it is one of the products that for many is the authentic novelty of Apple in many years. But the reality is that if you want to get some AirPods via the Apple website, their delivery is not scheduled before January 2, 2018. That is, even temporarily, we return in 2 to 3 weeks for delivery.
In the previous article we already mentioned that if you were thinking of acquiring AirPods in Apple itself for this Christmas you will have something difficult and that is that delivery dates are already being given for January. However, if you already have them bought and packaged as a gift, you should know how to do the restoration thereof if at any time you see that they have an abnormal operation.
As we find on the Apple page for shareholders, the company plans to hold the General Shareholders' Meeting at the Steve Jobs Theater. This meeting is held on an annual basis, and it presents the financial results achieved by the company in the previous year, with prior approval by the management team. The established date is next February 13 and the company wants to thank the support provided to the shareholders with the celebration in the very heart of the company, the newly released Steve Jobs Theater.
At this point, and after a large number of rumors related to Apple's movements in the streaming video sector, few or almost none can deny that sooner or later, Apple will make the leap to this type of platform of streaming video, entering to compete directly with Netflix, HBO, Amazon Prime Video ...
The latest movements related to Apple's streaming video service can be found in the signing of two new workers, from Hulu and Legendary Entertainment, specifically we are talking about Phillip Matthys and Jennfier Wang, as reported by the publication Variety.
The second beta of Watch 4.2.2 and tvOS 11.2.5 are already in the hands of developers. This week Apple released the beta version of macOS High Sierra for developers and today we have the rest of the versions available, including iOS 11.2.5.
As usually happens in beta versions released by Apple, we do not find in the description the changes implemented in these versions but obviously they do explain that system stability and security improvements are addedas well as the typical bug fixes from previous versions.
Apple never ceases to amaze us and it is that each advertisement they put into circulation is totally different from anything we have seen before. It is proven that the team of creators they have is very versatile and that the options that are put on the table are aimed at reaching the largest number of people, either because of their tastes in music or because of their tastes in the video format in which the advertising is included.
We say all this, because the new ad they have posted called "Twas the Night Before Christmas with Gwen Stefani" it is an ad that gets out of everything what we've seen before in Apple posts.
A few days ago, we echoed a news story stating that the streaming music service could have its days numbered, because it was running out of funds to be able to pay record companies and artists since they were making more money than they are getting from competing music streaming services, like Apple Music and Spotify.
As expected, Tidal, responded to this information by categorically denying it, as expected, without making any clarification about the financial situation of the company, a financial situation that has always attracted attention, due to its small number of subscribers. While Tidal is debating, between staying open or closing the chiringuito, the company has launched an application for the Apple TV.
