Pavel Jelic Apple launches a great tool for developers
On the occasion of this year's WWDC 2020 conference, developers were treated to several different novelties that can generally facilitate the entire development process and offer a number of improvements. One of the announced innovations was a special environment dubbed as Enhanced Sandbox, or an improved closed environment intended for testing. This gadget will allow developers to test in-app purchases in a high-quality and problem-free manner, in several different scenarios that the user could theoretically encounter.
Thus, even before the release of a given version of his software, the developer will be able to test, for example, how the subscription-based application will react when the plan itself is changed, when it is completely canceled, or how the program will react at the moment when the relevant transaction is unexpectedly canceled. The described improved environment will bring with it far more extensive possibilities for the developers themselves, and in theory we should expect more comprehensively functional applications. However, developer Epic Games will not be able to try it out.
There is a new unique Apple Store in Singapore that boasts a first-class design
The apple company bets on first-class quality for its products, and above all on design. Of course, this does not only apply to the mentioned products. If we look at the Apple Story itself, we can see a combination of amazing architecture along with unique features. Apple has recently boasted to the world with another amazing store that will not only take the breath away of its visitors. Specifically, this is the Apple Store located in the Marina Bay Sands resort in Singapore, and it is a huge glass mine that seems to "levitate" on the water of the bay.

The store opened just today and we can already find the first tour on YouTube by a YouTuber named SuperAdrianMe TV. He went through the entire Apple Store in detail and showed the world, through camera footage, what a truly luxurious store should look like. The mentioned glass mine consists of 114 pieces of glass and the visitor will be delighted by several floors. The most interesting is of course the upper floor, where after the view from the store you will feel as if you are literally levitating above the water. Apple has also played with the light in this case, due to which only a reasonable amount of sunlight penetrates the Stor. At first glance, we can say without a doubt that this is a completely unique and exceptional architectural work. At the same time, the Apple Store also hides a private passage, which looks cozy and just like that, someone is unlikely to look into it.
You can see what the Apple Store itself looks like either in the video itself or in the attached gallery. The YouTuber named the space behind the huge Apple logo on the top floor, where there is a perfect view of the city skyline, as the most interesting place in the entire store. Currently, due to the ongoing global pandemic, the Apple Store is only open for limited hours. So if you're lucky enough to be somewhere nearby, don't forget to book your visit through this page.
Apple comes up with its own masks for its employees
In response to the aforementioned global pandemic of the disease COVID19, the Californian giant designed and produced its own masks dubbed the Apple Face Mask. The masks are made of three layers to filter out particles and Apple even thought of hearing impaired people. They are taught to read words from the lips, which unfortunately is not possible with classic masks. In the case of masks from Apple, however, it is the opposite, and the aforementioned scanning will not be a problem for people.
At first glance, the masks are a creation from Apple - because they have a unique design and allow the wearer the maximum possible adjustment to fit the face as best as possible. The Californian giant has informed its employees that the masks can be washed and reused up to five times. For now, it is not clear whether Apple will decide on their mass production and will also provide them to other interested parties.
