Today marks the 64th birthday of Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs was born on the day of February 24th, 1955. He reflected a vision in Apple from the start of the company. The CEO of Apple, Tim Cook, tweeted a video of a pond at Apple Park today. According to the tweet from Cook, it says, “Steve’s vision is reflected all around us at Apple Park. He would have loved it here, in this place where he dreamed up for all of the Apple innovations. We deeply missed him today on his 64th birthday, and everyday.” This is significant because Steve Jobs came up with the idea of Apple Park in June 2011.

A 75 year old woman named Liz Turner credited her Apple Watch Series 4 for detecting AFib earlier in her diagnosis. When she went working out with her Apple Watch, she saw her heart rate go up unusually high during the workout. Her Apple Watch’s screen read 181 BPM, which is dangerously higher than her normal heart rate at 140 BPM. Liz Turner describes how she felt during her workout: “You don’t feel your heart beating right now, do you? No. I felt my heart coming out of my chest and it felt like it was just racing.” This is true that if your heart rate goes up higher than you normally should, it can spot a problem with your heart health. She used the ECG app on her Apple Watch to detect the abnormal heart rhythms, then she sent an email of the ECG strip to her doctor.

Recently, Apple released the third beta of iOS 12.2, for developers. It consists of slight changes from the last iOS beta, including a significant privacy bug patch. This update has been released for a few days now, so let’s check out the interesting changes here. First off, let’s talk about the minor features that’s changed in iOS 12.2 beta 3. There’s a change in the Apple News header. It said “Apple News”, but in this update, the title has “ News” instead. This creates a less intrusive design in the Apple News app. The lock screen shows the date properly, and the buttons on the Wallet app has been changed. Next, the FaceTime privacy bug that made us feel concerned, is now gone. Before, many people thought the second version of the iOS 12.2 beta could resolve this bug. But Apple’s engineers had to put in effort into this stringent work, so they released the finalized version of this big paper patch on this new beta. Now iOS users can use Group FaceTime again! Lastly, control

Recently, I ordered myself an accessory for my newest Apple product, which is my AirPods. I love them because they are portable, quality wireless earbuds. I had my AirPods for almost a week now. But I had worries they’ll be lost, scratched up, or fall off when I wear them to work. So I scurried myself to Amazon, paid ten dollars for an AirPods accessory and it arrived a day earlier than the expected delivery date. Enter the Rockindeer 9 Pieces AirPods Accessory Set, which  retails for $10.95 on Amazon.  This accessory set comes in seven colors and has 2 AirPods straps, silicone charging case cover with a carabiner, 2 pairs of AirPod inserts, 2 Apple Watch band holders, and a black EVA case to store all of your accessories.

The silicone accessories came in a pair of black and white, but the case and the AirPods strap comes in a color of your choice. A
