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.

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.
