Apple had recently confirmed that they would be hosting an event on the 25th of March. Details about the event are scarce, but the name of the event, “It’s Show Time”, seems to confirm that it will most likely see Apple announce their streaming service. In addition to that, there have also been rumors that Apple might use the event to launch their new news and magazines subscription service as well.

In fact according to developer Steve Troughton-Smith, he has discovered some evidence within the latest macOS beta that hints that such a service is in the works. According to Troughton-Smith, “There’s a bunch you can discern about Apple News’ magazines from what’s in the OS betas: for example, the magazines are PDF-based (like most iPad magazines), and issues can be stored offline. The magazine genres are listed as pictured. Most of its code is written in Swift.”

It has been rumored that Apple might be looking to revamp its news service. The company had previously acquired Texture, which for those unfamiliar used to be known as the Netflix for magazines where it gave users unlimited access to magazines for a monthly subscription. The rumors are saying that Apple could now be looking to bundle its news and magazines together, and possibly put them all under a single subscription service.

Either way we should have the official details in the coming weeks, so be sure to check back with us then for the updates.

A couple of years ago, Microsoft launched a new app called Seeing AI. The app is designed to help the visually impaired “see” the world around them by using your smartphone’s camera, which in turn then helps to describe what the phone sees to the user through the use of artificial intelligence.

Now according to Microsoft, the company has announced some improvements they have made to the app where it will now be able to describe photos on the phone to the user by them touching it. According to Microsoft, “Leveraging the Custom Vision Service in tandem with the Computer Vision API, this new feature enables users to tap their finger to an image on a touch-screen to hear a description of objects within an image and the spatial relationship between them.”

Microsoft has also announced that they will now be bringing support onto the iPad which means that if you prefer using the app on a larger device, then the iPad is an option to check out. “iPad support is particularly important to individuals using Seeing AI in academic or other professional settings where they are unable to use a cellular device.”

We expect that these won’t be the only improvements Microsoft will be making, but these are some of the latest ones so do update the app if you’d like to get access to all of the new features.
