Apple’s Tuesday event unveiled a new iPhone 13 with more storage, major iPad mini upgrades and a new Apple Watch. The next date to watch is Friday, 24 September when the hardware hits the stores in major markets. Below is the sum-up of the products, their local prices, pre-order dates and more.
The anticipated Apple iPhone 13 event unveiling a slew of new devices.
The whole slew of new iPhone 13 has been unveiled, with big changes to the iPad mini, a refreshed 10.2-inch iPad and a new Apple Watch Series 7.
The iPhone 13 series gets the new A15 Bionic chip – a six-core CPU with two high-performance cores, four high-efficiency cores and a quad-core GPU.
TL;DR; summary of new Apple devices, local prices, availability and specs from Apple’s Tuesday event.
The back cameras have been upgraded with wider apertures and new video features, including a Cinematic mode, which transits in-shooting focus smoothly from one subject to another.
There is also a macro lens, and smarter software to recognise skin tones to enable adjustments in tone and warmth filters.
Apple boasts that the iPhone 13 will have a longer battery life than its predecessor, despite its faster chip, 5G, better cameras and new features.
It is also intelligent enough to conserve power consumption by switching to LTE “when 5G speeds aren’t needed”.

Official launch of Speedoc mobile app for house call medical treatment services in Singapore.
Speedoc was launched today at its office in UIC Building in Singapore.
The app was soft launched in Jan 2018 and has seen 3,490 downloads and 524 unique patients, with an average of 8 patients per day.
Speedoc currently has 29 doctors – 4 fulltime, 10 from clinics and 15 locums.
“After working as a public hospital doctor for five years, I noticed a gap in the market for non-essential A&E visits, for minor cases such as coughs, colds and constipation. My team and I created Speedoc as a solution for patients to receive medical attention at any time of the day. Our goal is to be a health-tech company that helps shift advanced medical care ‘from the hospital to the home’, especially in light of Singapore’s ageing population, which may find it increasingly difficult to visit hospitals and clinics easily,” says Dr. Shravan Verma, CEO and Founder of Speedoc.
All are GPs at the moment while the startup looks for specialists in the areas of pediatrics, geriatrics and obstetrics.
Each housecall costs at S$150 (8am-8pm), S$200 (8pm-12am) and S$250 (12am-8pm).

The CaltexGo mobile payment app offers fast, hassle-free fuel payment from the comfort of your car.
Chevron’s General Manager of Products for Singapore, Shahid Ahmed, at the launch of CaltexGo mobile fuel payment app in Singapore.
Chevron Singapore, which operates the retail brand Caltex, has introduced Singapore’s first fuel payment app.
“As part of its new digital transformation, Chevron has opted for an agile approach to its first mobile payment solution, listening closely to user feedback and learning from industry best practices towards developing a minimum viable product for fuel payment,” said Chevron’s General Manager of Products for Singapore, Shahid Ahmed, when I chatted with him during the app’s launch.
The CaltexGO mobile payment app is the front-end of an integrated digital eco-system that offers cashless payments and helps consumers locate a service station, enjoy automatic loyalty LinkPoints collection, exclusive mobile offers, and electronic receipts at their fingertips.
CaltexGO responds to key consumer pinch points identified in the retail brand’s recent consumer insights analysis.
Chevron notes that refueling can be seen as a chore which drivers strive to mitigate.
Having to wait for a pump, long payment queues, and the complexity related to loyalty and payment systems were the top inconvenience grouses by drivers at service stations.
