In addition, the Sticker.ly, Widgetsmith and AllTrails apps, as well as Loom and Topo, have all been Sherlocked. However, Apple has opened up the suggestions via API access for third-party apps, meaning they can benefit from the APIs used for Apple's first-party option. ( appleinsider)

- A new web standard will add another layer of security to online payment services like Apple PayA new web standard called Secure Payment Confirmation (SPC) is set to add another layer of security to online payment services such as Apple Pay. SPC allows entities such as banks, payment service providers, merchants and card networks to generate cryptographic proof of user consent while reducing the obstacles associated with strong customer authentication. SPC introduces an additional layer of user consent during a transaction, prompting the user to consent to the payment terms through a "transaction dialog" governed by the browser. Stripe conducted a trial using an initial implementation of SPC, resulting in an 8% boost in conversions compared to one-time passcodes. ( appleinsider)

- Apple wants to make an Apple Watch screen that wraps all the way around the wrist苹果公司新获得的一项专利显示，他们正在研究一种新型智能手表，可以将屏幕完全覆盖在手腕周围的表带上，通过这种方式，智能手表的显示面积不再局限于刚性的表盘区域。专利中还提到，这种设备将可以根据用户的手腕尺寸进行调整，同时还可以有其他应用，包括可穿戴、可滚动和可折叠显示屏。此前，苹果公司还曾研究过可卷曲的 iPhone。 Via: com/articles/23/06/15/apple-wants-to-make-an-apple-watch-screen-that-wraps-all-the-way-around-the-wrist
- HomePod of the future may only answer Siri queries if you look at itApple has been granted a patent for "Device control using gaze information," which suggests users may be able to command Siri visually. The system would use cameras and other sensors to detect a user's gaze and determine if they want the device to respond, automatically setting the looked-at device to go into an instruction-accepting mode where it actively listens. This would allow for errant use of "Hey Siri" and trigger phrases of other digital assistants on television and radio to be ignored. Additionally, gaze detection could help distinguish between a command and a sentence fragment. The patent also suggests gaze detection could allow for an instruction to be made to one device and not others.

- Apple threatens to remove Jack Dorsey-backed Damus app over in-app transactionsApple has threatened to remove the decentralized social messaging app, Damus, from the App Store unless it removes the ability to send in-app micro donations via Bitcoin to other users. The app, which is backed by Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, uses the Lightning Network to send fractions of Bitcoins, known as "zaps," to other users. Apple has said that the ability to send these micro transactions is "selling digital content," which is not allowed under its rules. Dorsey has argued that sending the fractional Bitcoin is "tipping" and a "form of feedback," and that Apple's definition of "zaps" is incorrect.
