**Apple Adds Rena Display to MacBook Air**

In October 2018, Apple added a Rena display to the MacBook Air in all models of the notebook. The Rena display is designed to reduce glare and improve screen visibility, making it easier for users to work and watch videos on their laptops. This feature was introduced in response to feedback from customers who were experiencing issues with the anti-reflective coating on previous models.

Apple has a free repair program in place for the anti-reflective coating issue, which affects some MacBook Air models. However, these models are not yet eligible for repair under the company's standard warranty and support programs. The absence of any eligible MacBook Air models from the list of covered devices has raised concerns among customers who may be experiencing issues with their laptops.

Fortunately, for those who recently purchased a new MacBook Air model, this issue is unlikely to become an immediate problem. Apple has announced plans to reopen its retail stores starting in April, although it's unclear when and how the repair program will be expanded to include affected models. Customers can still return their devices or receive refunds if they are not satisfied with their purchase.

**iPhone 12 Launch Delayed?**

Recent reports suggest that Apple is planning to delay the launch of its upcoming iPhone 12 by months, citing concerns about demand in the current market. The company has reportedly held internal discussions about the possibility of delaying the launch due to fears that iPhones may not sell as well as expected.

Industry insiders also believe that the COVID-19 pandemic and supply chain constraints may be factors contributing to the delay. As a result, it's possible that Apple will push back its original September 2020 release date for the iPhone 12 series.

The news comes as a blow to fans of Apple products who were eagerly awaiting the launch of the new iPhones. While no official confirmation has been made by Apple, this report adds fuel to speculation about potential delays or changes in the company's product lineup.

**Apple Retail Stores Reopening**

In a surprising move, Apple announced earlier this week that it will reopen its retail stores starting in April. The decision marks a significant shift for the company, which had previously closed all of its stores outside of China in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19.

However, as case numbers continue to rise and governments implement new restrictions on public gatherings, Apple has decided to prioritize customer safety by reopening its retail stores. However, not all locations will reopen immediately, with some stores expected to remain closed for longer periods of time.

When stores do reopen, customers can still return their devices or receive refunds if they are not satisfied with their purchase. In the meantime, Apple is offering free 90-day trials of its creative applications, including Final Cut Pro X and Logic Pro X, to help customers stay productive and engaged during the pandemic.

**Game Club's Family Sharing Feature**

This feature marks an exciting development for Game Club, which has established itself as a popular platform for gamers looking for a hassle-free way to access classic titles on their devices. With its new family sharing feature, Game Club is poised to become the go-to destination for gaming families and groups of friends who want to play together.

**Apple's New Show: Defending Jacob**

The series, which will premiere on April 24th, is based on the bestselling novel by William Landay and stars Chris Evans as an assistant district attorney who must defend his son against charges of murder.

The trailer promises to deliver a gripping and suspenseful storyline, with Evans bringing his signature intensity to the role. With its talented cast and promising premise, "Defending Jacob" looks set to be one of the most highly anticipated shows of the year.

at this moment the only keyboard case that you can get from Apple to pair with the new 20/20 I pad Pro hopefully manufacturing stays on track and the new magic keyboard that was announced last week for the iPad pro will begin to ship in May as expected the iPad pro itself is a minor upgrade for those who own the 2018 model but for everyone else no matter what iPad you own it should seem like a pretty large upgrade at least in my opinion check out our full hands-on again for more information on that product then yesterday we went hands-on with the new MacBook Air and again theme is a small upgrade for the most part for those of you who own a 20-18 MacBook Air or a 2019 model but for everyone else massive upgrade this year's MacBook Air features the new scissor switch magic keyboard that Apple started implementing in its machine starting with the 16 inch MacBook Pro and finally iOS and iPad OS 13.4 was officially released this past week and again there is an entire video highlighting all of the features on our channel already but one of the bigger features was the official cursor support for that iPad and spoiler alert yes we made a video directly focusing in on the iPad cursor support during our 13.4 video however we mentioned a potential new feature called car key and this week we uncovered some more information about that new feature car key will allow users to approach their vehicles hold their iPhone or Apple watch near an NFC reader that's already inside their vehicle and authenticate with face ID and you'll have the vehicle unlock automatically this would be similar to Apple pay at transit turnstiles Express mode would also be an option eliminating the need to authenticate with face ID or a passcode earlier this week screenshots of what appears to be the car key interface surfaced on Twitter providing us with our first look at the upcoming feature as expected a digital car key appears as a card in the wallet app tapping on the card reveals info such as the car model issuing automaker a toggle switch for express mode and an option to share a car key with other users when you share a car key the primary user can provide others with three levels of access including the ability to unlock the trunk only unlock the vehicle or unlock the vehicle and drive it it's unclear exactly when this feature might be available but looking forward to seeing what other car companies will be onboard if and when it does launch Apple this week also acknowledged that MacBook Air models with Retina displays can exhibit anti-reflective coating issues as indicated in a memo shared with Apple authorized service providers Apple's internal service documentation for this issue previously only mentioned MacBook Pro and discontinued 12-inch MacBook models with Retina

free repair program for the anti-reflective coating issue in place internally but it has yet to add any MacBook Air models to the list of eligible models and hopefully for those of you who just

again for this September hopefully things start to get back on track not only for Apple but for the rest of the world here in the next few months but again this is a possibility that we should be aware of as far as Apple's retail stores go as you might know the company shut down all of its stores outside of China but earlier this week Apple informed employees that it plans to reopen its Apple retail stores starting in the first half of April according to bloomberg now retail stores will not all reopen at once and will likely remain closed longer in areas with more widespread outbreaks now
