Apple Maps now lets you report traffic with Siri
It is now possible to report an accident, road hazard or speed trap in the Maps app. You can do this hands-free with Siri. The feature is available to iPhone and CarPlay users with iOS 14.5 or later.
The feature allows you to report various incidents on the road. Apps such as Waze and Flitsmeister were already able to do this, but now Apple Maps is also equipped with the function.

Netflix now sounds a lot better thanks to Apple’s Spatial Audio
Good news! Netflix now supports Spatial Audio: Apple’s audio feature that lets you get surround sound with the AirPods Pro and Max. It seems as if the sound comes from all directions.
Netflix announced the feature last January, but is now starting to roll out. Not all movies and series support Spatial Audio: only certain titles can handle it. You can turn on the Apple surround sound via the settings screen of your iPhone.

‘iPad (2021) has a new design with thinner edges, will be released this fall’
The new iPad is completely made for students. Apple has not only made the iconic tablet lighter, but also overhauled the screen. The edges have become much thinner as a result.
That’s what Mark Gurman wrote last week, who already passed by earlier in this overview. According to the tech journalist, the iPad (2021) will be presented this fall, possibly in October.
