Apple on Thursday released a supplemental update to macOS High Sierra 10.13 which fixes a few bugs, among them a major vulnerability (we told you about it this morning) that could expose the passwords of encrypted Apple File System volumes in plain text in Disk Utility.
Netflix is rising prices, again. Starting this November, customers in the United States will be paying more for the company's middle and top-tier plans.
As Mashable reported Thursday, the standard $9.99 per month service that offers simultaneous HD streaming on two screens will cost $10.99 per month.
The premium tier will rise from $11.99 to $13.99, meaning customers who want to stream Netflix on up to four screens at once in Ultra HD will be paying an additional two bucks per month for the privilege, which works out to an additional $24 over the course of twelve months.
The basic $7.99 plan's price is staying put, for now.
Enjoy Netflix's current prices while you can.
The company released the following statement regarding the upcoming price hike:
From time to time, Netflix plans and pricing are adjusted as we add more exclusive TV shows and movies, introduce new product features and improve the overall Netflix experience to help members find something great to watch even faster.
Netflix will notify US subscribers of the price change on October 19. By December, every Netflix subscriber will be paying the higher price, grandfathered or not.
Netflix's standard $7.99 per month plan is still more affordable than HBO NOW at $14.99 per month or Hulu's ad-free plan at $11.99 per month though it lets you stream only in standard definition on one screen at a time.
Back in My 2014, Netflix raised prices of the entry-level tier from $7.99 to $8.99 per month for new customers in the United States and European markets though existing subscribers were exempt from paying extra for 24 months.
Brazilian developer Matheus Mariano has discovered a pretty serious security vulnerability in macOS High Sierra which exposes passwords of any encrypted APFS volumes in plain text.
Android vendors have reportedly discovered just how complicated and difficult it is to reliably mass-manufacture cutting-edge depth sensors that iPhone X's Face ID relies upon, and have now delayed plans to use 3D-sensing camera technology in their own flagship devices.
iOS 11's Smart Invert, which reverts the colors of the display while attempting to leave the colors of images and media intact, has been gaining some much-needed support from popular apps.
Michael Drake, President of The Ohio State University, announced on Wednesday that the public university would begin a new Digital Learning Initiative with Apple. The move will help the creation of a comprehensive, university-wide digital learning initiative meant to support the university, as well as the surrounding community.
After testing it with a small subset of users in Portugal last month, Instagram is now widely rolling out a new feature that lets you cross-post your Instagram Stories to Facebook Stories.
Until iOS 11, you could only choose between activating Siri, or Play/Pause media when double-tapping either the left or right AirPod. But with the release of iOS 11, Apple gave AirPods users a few more options as to what a double-tap gesture can do. Indeed, we have a couple more controls available, and we can also choose specific controls for both the left and right AirPod.
USB Type-C is a forward-thinking I/O standard that aims to bundle both ease of use and versatility in one universal package. Not only is it becoming popular in the mobile device market, but it’s also finding its way to the game console and portable notebook markets among others.
If you own any of Apple’s new MacBooks or MacBook Pros, then you’re likely already accustomed to the USB-C life. While it takes a little bit of getting used to at first, it can be a smooth transition after some time. Nevertheless, I have a beef with the USB-C standard; at least in its current form.
After Craig Feherighi demoed the iPhone X for the first time at last month's keynote, it became evident that several changes to the iOS user interface would need to accommodate for the new edge-to-edge OLED display, its rounded corners, and the notch.
One of the differences was in the App Switcher where each of the cards exhibits heavily-rounded corners that match the aesthetic of the device's display. Other iPhone models don’t have as pronounced of roundness, but a new free jailbreak tweak called switcherRadii by iOS developer CreatureSurvive can replicate this effect on your non-X handset.
Apple on Wednesday stopped signing both iOS 10.3.3 and iOS 11.0, the first official public release of iOS 11 since the software came out of beta on September 19th. With this change, it's now impossible to downgrade iOS 11 devices back to iOS 10.
The company regularly stops signing older firmware versions to prevent downgrades and keep users on the latest firmware possible. It’s also a measure to thwart jailbreaking, which often requires an older firmware version where Apple hasn’t patched the vulnerabilities used in the jailbreak process.
Apple has acqui-hired a small startup called Init.ai to work on Siri, TechCrunch reported today.
