The large iPad Pro is the only one with the M9 that does not support "Hey Siri" (22/3)
With the arrival of the A9 and M9 chips, Apple allowed users to use the "Hey Siri" feature without powering the device. iPhone 6S are thus ready at any time to turn on the voice assistant, and the same is now the case with the latest iPhone SE and the smaller iPad Pro. Surprisingly, the only device that has these chips but needs to be connected to a charger to use the "Hey Siri" feature is the largest 12,9-inch iPad Pro. Although, according to Apple, the M9 chip is the basic requirement for the convenient use of the feature, it is not made available in the latest version of iOS 9.3 for the large iPad. The Californian company did not disclose the reasons.

Apple Pay should arrive on the web (March 23)
According to the magazine Re / code Apple began negotiating with several potential partners to expand Apple Pay beyond in-app payments. By the end of the year, before the Christmas season, Apple would like to enable payments with Apple Pay even on websites that users view on their phones in Safari.
Apple could announce the news at the upcoming WWDC conference in June, and its launch would put the Californian company in direct competition with PayPal. Although more than half of online shopping takes place on computers, mobile shopping is becoming more and more popular. During the last Christmas season, 9,8 billion purchases were made on websites via phone, one billion more than via mobile apps.
Apple would give businesses a better chance of turning visitors to their website into active shoppers, as buying a product would only require taking a fingerprint using Touch ID.
