Apple will remove the following apps from the App Store

Apple announced that it will remove from its official store, the App Store, those apps that do not work as they should or are out of date.

In this way, the technology manufacturer seeks to make it easier for customers to find apps that are up to date in the store so that they can adequately meet their needs.

“We are implementing an ongoing app evaluation process, which allows us to remove apps that no longer work as expected, that don't meet current guidelines, or are out of date,” the company said in a statement.

As explained by the IT giant, from now on all App Store categories will be evaluated to ensure that they work as expected, that they follow the current review guidelines and that they present their latest version.

In the event that they encounter any problems with these services, the company will contact the developers to make the necessary changes to remain in the software store.

They will have 30 days to submit a new version of the platform, so if these changes have not been implemented within this period of time, it will be removed from the App Store until a new update is sent and approved by Apple.

On the other hand, applications that have problems at startup and to start using them, will be blocked and immediately removed from the brand's app store.

The manufacturer clarified that the fact that applications are deleted from the virtual store does not imply that they disappear from the developers' accounts, since the name of these services will continue to be associated with them.

In addition, if these applications are eventually removed, they will no longer be available to new users, but they will continue to work for those who had previously installed them.

Finally, Apple recommended that all developers review their store's guides and guidelines to keep their creations up to date.

macOS server is discontinued

On the other hand, the company reported that it has discontinued macOS Server, the server that allows you to configure and manage computers of the brand and iOS devices from the Mac computer. This decision comes 23 years after its launch.

This novelty was reported through Apple's support website, where it was highlighted that macOS Server customers will be able to continue downloading and using this application in version 5.12.2 for macOS Monterey.

Throughout its latest versions, such as 5.4 and 5.7.1, the company has been limiting and removing some of its functions, such as FTP, DHCP, DNS, the Calendar tool, Radio, Messages or NetBoot/NetInstall.

Following this phase-out, the organization decided to discontinue macOS Server, one of its longest running features, which was released in 1999 and whose services have completed their migration to macOS.

This is because the most popular macOS features, such as Caching Server, File Sharing Server, or Time Machine Server, have been integrated into the operating system of your computers since the macOS High Sierra version.

The power of MagSafe is updated to speed up iPhone charging times

In recent days, the company also announced an improvement to its Magsafe Battery Pack, the wireless charging system that integrates its external battery, with the aim of speeding up the charging times of the iPhone by increasing its power.

As indicated, the latest 2.7 update of its firmware promises to offer a load of 7.5W, instead of the 5W it previously offered.

The update of this software allows users of Apple products to charge their devices more quickly and in a shorter time than estimated with the charging power of 5W.

The MagSafe firmware starts automatically after connecting the portable battery to the iPhone and may take around seven days to update.

On the other hand, to update it using a Mac or iPad, users will need to connect the portable charging device using the USB Lightning cable and it will take 5 minutes to complete.

The manufacturer recalled that iPhones will maintain the possibility of reaching 15W of power if they have MagSafe connected to a power supply of 20W or higher.

Apple launched in July last year its first external battery with the MagSafe wireless charging system for its iPhone 12 wireless charging family (standard, mini, Pro and Pro Max) phones.
