Anthem has released its latest patch, Update 1.03, which will make some major changes to the way players experience EA and BioWare’s game. While there are a significant number of changes, the two most prominent ones are the removal of respawn restrictions and the updates made to the end-games loot tables, two major points of contention and feedback for players. Anthem’s first month of release has been a long, drawn out nightmare for its publisher....

It could be said that Tennis was the original video game. Not the version played on the field, of course, but a virtual version that replaced players with short white lines and the green ball with a white dot. The representation of the sport (and its “table” variant) have come a long way since Pong, but the simple formula of volleying a ball back and forth has remained the same. AO Tennis 2 sees the popular international sport arrive in its most true-to-life version ever, but it proves that without some amount of physicality or a fun twist to the virtual world, tennis should stick to the actual courts....

When Apple released Safari 6.0 for OS X Lion this morning (and included it with Mountain Lion), we noticed that a version of the web browser is not available for Windows. Sure enough, some users running Apple’s Safari download website on PCs are also not seeing the download. It appears that earlier Safari versions for Windows are still available. Safari 6.0 includes features that are integrated into OS X and Apple’s own ecosystem itself – like offline Reading List and Password Pane – so it makes sense for Apple to pass on Safari 6....

Apple continues to emphasis its belief that consumers should have better access to their medical information. CNBC reports this week that Apple and Microsoft will send a representative to a meeting on Monday, hosted by the nonpartisan Carin Alliance. The goal of the Carin Alliance and this meeting is to support initiatives by the Department of Health and Human Services, focused on making it easier for patients to access and share their medical information....

There were conflicting reports yesterday about the likely location of the new Apple campus the company promised back in January. With a large number of well-paid jobs at stake, there is stiff competition between states. One report said that North Carolina’s Research Triangle Park was the favored option, while another suggested that Northern Virginia was still very much in the running … However, a fresh report today from WRAL claims that Research Triangle Park is ‘a done deal’ if the state agrees to tax incentives for Apple....

Apple has shared a series of new iPhone X ads on its Apple Australia YouTube channel. The ads showcase the iPhone X camera being used to shoot a handful of different weddings, hence the title of “First Dance.” The ads are a continuation of Apple’s “Shot on iPhone” series, which aims to highlight the stunning videography and photography of which the iPhone X is capable. The company has shared a total of four “First Dance” weddings, each of which highlight a different wedding with different age and sexual orientation....

Packed inside the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus is a new iSight camera with new sensors and focus pixels which allows for autofocusing up to twice as fast. Panorama photos can now include up to 43 megapixels in each photo. The big story here is the iPhone 6 Plus’s camera, which will support optical image stabilization. Rather than relying only on digital image stabilization, the camera borrows a technique from DSLR cameras allowing the sensor to move up and down and side to side....

If you’re in the market for an external GPU for your MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, then you may be interested in the portable eGFX Breakaway Puck from Sonnet. Sonnet’s portable eGPU, which Apple started selling in its stores last April for $399.95, appears to have just dropped in price by 25%. One of several eGPU boxes that Apple sells in its stores, the Sonnet eGFX Breakaway Puck is the smallest and least expensive eGPU that Apple offers....

Apple has started emailing early buyers of the Apple Watch with links to the guided tour videos on its website. The email highlights the videos for Messages, Siri and Digital Touch, but provides individual links to each of the other videos. It also contains a link to the user guide … Apple first started adding videos to the Apple Watch section of its website in early April, adding Phone, Siri, Maps and Music mid-month before Apple Pay, Activity and Workout were uploaded just a couple of days before launch....

Update: Apple says it will appeal. We may have finally reached the finale in Apple’s years-long patent case with VirnetX. The firm announced on Monday that it was awarded $439.7 million in its case against Apple over patents it claims Apple used for iMessage and FaceTime. The firm’s announcement highlights that the court sided with it on all motions filed: VirnetX’s case started picking up steam last year when the firm was seeking $532 million over patents related to FaceTime, iMessage, and VPN....

It comes at a time when the US government is planning a $52 billion investment in US chip production to help address the global shortage....

Apple has been working with several third-party App Store developers at its Cupertino, California offices to assist developers in finishing up applications for the upcoming Apple Watch. Development and design representatives from dozens of different development firms have visited Apple last week, or are coming to Cupertino this week, to work with Apple engineers to finish up WatchKit-based applications. One source claims that Apple is holding workshops for over 100 different developers across February....

Apple has launched a dedicated Facebook page for Beats 1, the free worldwide Apple Music radio station run by human hosts, unlike other Apple Music stations which are generated by computer algorithms and require an Apple Music streaming subscription. The new Beats 1 account is currently highlighting Zane Lowe’s exclusive interview with Lady Gaga, featuring video snippets and quotes. Although the page is not yet verified on Facebook, the account’s legitimacy is confirmed as the verified Apple Music account shared a post from the Beats 1 page....

Apple’s dramatically smaller bluetooth wireless keyboard that debuted alongside the redesigned iMac is not just thinner but it also loses the number pad arrow keys and that little area with “Help”, Home” etc. Size-wise it is very similar to just lifting the MacBook keyboard off of its body and carting it around. This isn’t a device for the desk. This is a remote control. Obviously a good fit for the iMac that is an entertainment device....

In an ongoing effort to bring people into the Apple Pay ecosystem, Apple is now offering $15 off at 1-800-Flowers when checking out with its mobile payment service. Just in time for Valentines Day, Apple is giving users a $15 discount at the merchant when checking out with Apple Pay. This offer is valid online, or through the app, making it the first Apple Pay promo to be available both in-app and online....

Companies that specialise in buying and selling used iPhones are reporting that the methods they use to unlock handsets to allow them to be used on any compatible network are no longer working for AT&T models. AT&T models are in greatest demand for companies reselling iPhones overseas, as the frequencies used are compatible with many foreign networks. But the WSJ says that something changed early in October, and no solution has been found since then....
