One of the first employees recruited for Apple’s health team has left Apple to join the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

The iPadOS beta Apple introduced this week offers something none of its predecessors did: reliability. Stability, even. After days of testing on an iPad Pro, I found it close enough to the final version that an average person can access a mouse or thumbdrive with their iPad nearly hassle-free. That hasn’t been true of earlier betas.
Less rigorous testing of iOS 13 on an iPhone XS Max indicates it’s also relatively stable.
Apple makes a MacBook Pro and an iPad Pro. Soon there could be an iPhone Pro, too.
This unconfirmed report comes from a source with an unblemished history for leaking details about upcoming Apple products.

Car infotainment systems have grown dramatically in size, and Sony promises one that allows people with older models to upgrade to an 8.95-inch screen. It supports Apple’s CarPlay, so the driver’s iPhone is ready to provide navigation, make calls or play music.
Shipments of MacBooks were up almost 20% during the second quarter of this year compared to the same period of 2018, according to a market-research firm.
And the analysts predict another 20% growth in the current quarter, buoyed by the release of the 16-inch MacBook Pro.
After giving up on creating the AirPower charger, which could have charged several iPhones at once, the Apple Store is now offering a pair of multi-device chargers developed by Mophie.
A less-than-stellar credit score may not stop you from bagging a shiny new Apple Card.
“Subprime” applicants are being accepted for credit, issued by Goldman Sachs, because Apple wants as many of its iPhone users as possible to be approved.
And it’s what Steve Jobs would have wanted.
Frequent Apple contract manufacturer Foxconn recruited kids as young as 16 to work on its production lines, leaked documents show. The company reportedly pushed the teenagers to work nights and overtime as part of the job.
