The province now forecasts that the value of exports this year will reach $ 11 billion, a jump ten times greater in six years.

Apple removes the ‘TV Remote’ app from the App Store as remote functionality is built into the device

Apple has quietly removed the 'TV Remote' app from the App Store. The app was initially designed as a way for users to control their Apple TV from an iPhone or iPad. It is not known exactly when Apple removed the TV Remote app. However, 9to5Mac picked up the stealth removal as well as all the app mentions on any resource page. According to the recent report, a reader even contacted Apple support directly to inquire about the removal and the support agent was not sure what happened.

Microsoft’s new Xbox app comes to iOS with remote use features

After testing the beta version of the app last month, Microsoft is releasing its redesigned iOS app for Xbox, which allows users to stream Xbox games to an iPhone or iPad. Not to be confused with Microsoft's xCloud game streaming service, the new Xbox app requires an Xbox console and that users have games on that console. Instead of streaming games from Microsoft's servers, the new Xbox app can launch and stream games from your console. Unfortunately, the Xbox app will only work with Xbox One and upcoming X and S Series games. Old Xbox 360 and original Xbox games cannot be streamed to iOS or iPadOS devices with the app. The Xbox app can take control of users' Xbox consoles, activate them, and launch games remotely.

Leaker suggests Apple’s AirTags will be released in two sizes and ‘coming soon’

Apple's AirTags are reportedly "coming soon" and available in two different sizes, according to the often-trusted leaker 'L0vetodream' on Twitter. the leaker's first tweet it was pretty cryptic and just said "big, small, coming soon". However, after tons of speculation in the comments, the leaker follow-up tweet read: "TAG tag", confirming the belief that the tweets were referring to AirTags. It would make sense to have a large and small option for AirTags, as you could put the smaller one in your wallet and use a larger one for things like luggage. Although various trackers such as Tile products have been around for a while, AirTags will use ultra-wideband radio to find a precise location. They will also reportedly use all iOS d...

Apple is reportedly removing the ‘Stadium’ app, which saw Google Stadia running on iPhone

Apple will reportedly remove the 'Stadium' app from its App Store. Stadium was created as a workaround to allow Google Stadia to work on iPhone through a full screen browser. The stadium was inaugurated only one month ago on iOS from the creator Zachary Knox. The browser-based app used WebKit to get Stadia controller integration to make Stadia's cloud-based gaming service run on iPhones and iPads. The reasoning behind the extensive solution is simply due to strict Apple App Store policies that do not allow cloud-based gaming services like Google Stadia, Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass streaming, or GeForce Now. Knox previously announced that Stadium would be removed from the App Store, according to AppleInsider. In Twitter, Knox said, "My app will be removed from the App Store,...
