What you need to know

  • Apple will give $1 to the WWF for every transaction that takes place via Apple Pay.
  • All Apple Pay transactions in the Apple Store, via the Apple Store app, and in the online Apple Store will be included.
  • The donations will run from now through Earth Day on April 22.

Apple has emailed customers to say that every time they buy something using Apple Pay via an Apple Store, on the Apple website, or via the Apple Store app, $1 will be donated to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The donations begin now and will run through April 22 which so happens to be Earth Day.

This isn't the first time that Apple has made donations of this kind to the WWF and it will surely not be the last.

For 60 years, World Wildlife Fund has worked to conserve nature and reduce the most pressing threats to the diversity of life on Earth. Connecting cutting-edge conservation science with the collective power of its partners in the field, World Wildlife Fund strives to develop and deliver innovative solutions that protect communities, wildlife, and the places in which they live.

While this news is unlikely to make anyone rush out to buy something just to donate a dollar, Apple will no doubt process a ton of transactions regardless — generating a sizeable sum for the WWF.

Apple is also running an Apple Watch Activity Challenge specific to Earth Day, something that can be completed by taking part in a 30-minute workout on the same day. That'll cover normal workouts, as well as those via Apple Fitness+ and, will hopefully inspire people to move a little more on April 22. Maybe you could take a light jog down to your local Apple Store to buy that new MacBook Air you've been promising yourself?

Beta testers will likely wait until July to get their hands on iOS 16

If all goes according to previous years we can expect Apple to release the first developer beta of iOS 16 on June 6, the same day that it will be announced. That's the date of the WWDC22 opening keynote but those who are part of the public beta program look set to be waiting a little while longer.

Review: Apex Legends Mobile is almost an entirely different game

Apex Legends Mobile has been in the works for a while, promising players a battle royale experience on the go. While it certainly does deliver on that portable shooter experience, it manages to separate itself from its source — for better or worse.
