Apple will no longer remove Mac app it threatened to remove over branding

A popular, six-year-old Mac app was about to get axed in a few days over its name and branding, which Apple claims breaches its App Store guidelines. The tech giant backtracks its decision and allows Amphetamine to stay on the Mac App Store. Amphetamine is a free Mac app that lets users keep their machine awake for a set amount of time. This highly-rated app was launched back in 2014 and has been downloaded over 432,000 times. 

For unknown reasons, Apple decided the app violates its guidelines. Its developer William Gustafson posted an extensive report on GitHub sharing about how an Apple representative reached out to say his app will be removed from the Mac App Store on January 12, 2021, if he didn't make changes to the app.

Samsung teases Galaxy S21 launch without revealing details about it

All Samsung has to say officially about the upcoming Galaxy S21 series is "A new Galaxy awaits." It doesn't even mention what model name we're going with this year. Except there's a subtle change between the dates 2020 to 2021 in the teaser video now up on the company's YouTube channel. It also shows the evolution of the Galaxy S series through the years. But Samsung didn't even reveal the date of its next launch. Rumours have been going around that the launch is happening soon (as early as January 14). So, the wait to hear more about this new Galaxy shouldn't be too long.
