Pax Era app

Apple is removing all vaping apps from the App Store on Friday, according to Axios. Apple is taking the measure after dozens of people have died from lung illness tied to vaping, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Apple unsigns iOS 13.2, hindering downgrades from iOS 13.2.2

Apple stopped signing iOS 13.2 Thursday evening, a move that inhibits iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch owners from downgrading their handset’s software from the latest iOS 13.2.2 release.

It’s common practice for the Cupertino-based tech company to unsign older software sometime after a newer gets released. Doing so facilitates (sometimes involuntary) software upgrades, which ensures that the majority of iOS device users take advantage of the latest new features, bug fixes, and security improvements.
