Apple revised the support page for Apple Pencil with an additional safety guideline. The revision includes the interference when you charge your Apple Pencil on top of the right side of your iPad Pro. This only applies to the second generation Apple Pencil, and the latest generation iPad Pro models.

 According to the revised footnote that Apple added, it states that if you’re charging your Apple Pencil (2nd generation) on your 2018 iPad Pro, and your car key fob is nearby, the magnet on your iPad supplying the charge to your Apple Pencil will interfere with the radio signals. This can eventually cause the key fob to forbid from unlocking your car, unless you put your iPad Pro at least 5 feet away from the key fob, or put your Apple Pencil in a separate case.

In addition, you shouldn’t put your Apple Pencil on ANY side of your iPad Pro when it’s next to your car keys. The best idea is to put it in a sleeve, or in a holder of the iPad Pro case (Most iPad Pro cases have a Pencil holder, but the case must not have magnets next to them). Otherwise, you have to wait for your Apple Pencil to fully charge itself to 100% before you touch your key fob.

To conclude, all of the above is the information about radio frequency interference between the 2018 iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil. So next time, don’t charge your Apple Pencil before you unlock your car!

The 2019 Apple Shareholders Meeting

Two days ago, on March 1st, 2019, Apple held their own shareholders meeting at the Steve Jobs Theater. The 2019 Apple Shareholders Meeting explains how the Cupertino company faced its controversial issues and a teaser for the next iPad Pro. Various shareholders brought up issues over the last year, and they voted whether Apple’s board of executives should disclose ideological information about nominees. The meeting started with the enthusiastic Tim Cook, which he had the same excitement as a September Apple event. He kicked off the meeting by this phrase: “I love this meeting because I get to see some of my old friends here that I only see maybe once a year.” Excitement is integral in every Apple event or meeting Tim Cook steps into. When it comes to shareholder meetings, many of the people attending the event only goes there once a year. It’s not a media event, but it’s for investors and shareholders of Apple. Next, Kate Adams, the general counsel of Apple, takes over to t

Ghost Touch on the iPhone

Image
One day, you unlocked your iPhone in the morning. Then all of a sudden, one of your iPhone apps opened by itself. Then you scratch your head and thought the iPhone played a trick on you. Then you called Apple Support and the AppleCare advisor told you that you need a screen replacement. Now let’s discover the methodology of the ghost touch on the iPhone. Ghost Touch happens when your iPhone gets a registered tap onto its screen, but there isn’t anything touching the screen. This is a common issue with the iPhone 6s, 7 and the iPhone X. Most of the causes are from a dirty iPhone screen, or a rupture in the display module component(s). The methods to solve the problem with Ghost Touch is by cleaning your iPhone’s screen, a partial replacement of the iPhone screen components, or an entire screen replacement. You can use a lens cloth and a bit of water to clean the screen. But if it’s a hardware issue, then you better get the Apple Genius for further help. This can be done by schedu

Apple is Taking the Initative to Manufacture Apple Products from 100% Recycled Materials

Image
Back in 2017, Apple planned a “mining-free” future by manufacturing Apple products out of 100% recycled materials. Many experts recently added that Apple would have a way of doing this, but they don’t know how to do this right now. According to a 2017 report from Apple’s environmental leader Lisa Jackson, she stated that, It sounds crazy, but we’re working on it. We’re moving toward a closed-loop supply chain. One day we’d like to be able to build new products with just recycled materials, including your old products.... We’re actually doing something we rarely do, which is announce a goal before we’ve completely figured out how to do it. So we’re a little nervous, but we also think it’s really important, because as a sector we believe it’s where technology should be going. This implies that “closed-loop” means Apple is reusing components and parts of iOS devices to new iPhones and iPads. The change is great for Apple’s environmental protection laws, but it’s a struggle in th
