Spotify has listened to the requests of apple users and comes with a great feature

Last month, we finally saw the release of the public version of the expected operating system iOS 14. It boasted several great new features, of which widgets and the Application Library were able to get the most attention. The aforementioned widgets allow you to access the applications in question more quickly, and in addition, you can now have them directly on any desktop, thanks to which you always have them in sight. The Swedish company Spotify also realized the importance of the widgets themselves quite quickly.

Sony brings the Apple TV app to older TVs as well

Recently, the Apple TV app is making its way to more and more smart TVs, even older models. We recently informed you, for example, about the launch of the mentioned application on models from LG. Today, LG was joined by the Japanese company Sony, which through a press release announced the arrival of the Apple TV application on selected models from 2018 and later.

The app is coming to TVs thanks to a free software update that has already rolled out in the United States. And which models will the application specifically arrive on? Practically, it can be said that all owners of TVs from the X900H series and later can wait. However, the update is not available in Europe for now. According to Sony, it will be released gradually this year according to individual regions.

Belkin has shared details of its upcoming MagSafe accessory

Yesterday was extremely important for the apple world. We saw the presentation of the much-anticipated iPhone 12, which every passionate Apple fan was impatiently waiting for. However, we will not return to the news brought by the new Apple phones here. Anyway, as a reminder, we have to mention that the new pieces boasted MagSafe technology. In their backs there is a series of special magnets, thanks to which the device can be charged with up to 15W power (double compared to the Qi standard) and we can also use them for magnetic attachment of accessories.

Already during the keynote itself, we could see two great products from the company Belkin. Specifically, it is a 3-in-1 charger that is able to power iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods in real time, and an iPhone car holder that simply snaps into the air vent. Let's take a quick look at the products themselves.

Probably the most attention was managed to get the mentioned charger, which bears the name Belkin BOOST CHARGE PRO MagSafe 3-in-1 Wireless Charger. As such, the charger is based on a base with a charging power of 5 W, which is intended for the mentioned AirPods or AirPods Pro headphones. Subsequently, we find here a chrome bifurcated arm. This is for iPhone and Apple Watch. The product should enter the market this winter, it will be available in white and black colors and its price will be around 150 dollars, which could be converted to 3799 crowns.

Another product is the aforementioned car holder with the designation Belkin MagSafe Car Vent PRO. It offers perfect and simple processing. At first glance, the thinness of the product can interest us. Since the holder is equipped with MagSafe technology, it can hold the iPhone without a single problem, for example, even in sharper turns. Since the product is intended to be clicked into the ventilation hole, it is understandably unable to power the phone. In any case, Belkin promises a solution in this direction, thanks to which the product can be elegantly used to power the mentioned device. The product will be available again in the winter and its price should be 39,95 dollars, i.e. about 1200 crowns after reading.
