Is Apple prepping to refresh Thunderbolt Display?
Apple hasn't refreshed the beautiful Thunderbolt Display since its July 2011 debut. That could change soon, however, as shipping times for the Thunderbolt Display have risen sharply across its European stores.
As first noted by German blog Macerkopf.de, customers in Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, the United Kingdom and other major markets in Europe are now faced with an eight-day delay when ordering a Thunderbolt Display.
Some iPhone owners complain about receiving undeletable emails from 1970 and 1969
iOS has been hit with another strange bug which causes users to receive ghost emails from 1969 and 1970 that cannot be deleted.
As some Reddit users have discovered, an error with the mail server not downloading the headers correctly appears to be causing some iPhone owners to receive undeletable 'null' emails dated back to December 31, 1969 or January 1, 1970.
It's unclear if this issue is related to the infamous 'January 1, 1970' bug which can brick some devices and that Apple has fixed in the forthcoming iOS 9.3 software update. We have reached out to Apple asking them to comment on the new issue and will report if we receive a reply.
Apple’s Craig Federighi: creating iPhone backdoor would be ‘a serious mistake’
Craig Federighi, Apple's Senior Vice President of Software Engineering who oversees the development of iOS, OS X and Apple's common operating system engineering team, has written an op-ed piece in The Washington Post in which he reiterates Apple's position that the FBI's demand that Apple create a version of iOS with decreased security would be “a serious mistake,” saying the FBI wants to “turn back the clock to a less-secure time”.
How Apple secures its products and services
Apple's security and privacy features that come standard on every iOS device, such as end-to-end encryption and Activation Lock, are getting all the talk around the internet as of late as the Apple vs. FBI case continues to escalate.
What can be learned from this case is not only does Apple want to protect your privacy, but the a large number of American people also want to have their privacy. The FBI, on the other hand, wants a quick way to get into any iPhone they deem "suspicious" so long as they can get a court order to search it.
So just how secure is your Apple data, and what protection standards does Apple have in place for you? That's just what we're going to talk about in this piece.

What you need to know about the KeRanger ransomware found in the Transmission app
Users of the popular open-source Transmission BitTorrent client for OS X were in for quite a surprise this weekend when it was discovered that certain installers for version 2.90 of the application were found to bundle unwanted ransomware with the installation, which is a type of malware that restricts file access across the system to cause trouble for the user.
Dubbed KeRanger by security research firm Palo Alto Networks, the malicious software will try to encrypt the user's system files in such a way as to tamper with the user's access to their Mac and then force the user to pay money to get their access back.
The makers of the Transmission app are now pushing immediate mandatory app updates to remove the ransomware and fix the problem for those that may have been affected, and it's recommended for all users, but how do you know if you're affected?

Jailbreak tweaks of the week: PreferenceTag3 & more…
Every Sunday we come at you with a roundup of all the jailbreak tweaks that get released in Cydia, and this week will be no different.
This week we haven't had any groundbreaking new tweak releases, but there have been some worth talking about. We'll go over our favorites first and then give you an outline of the other new releases.
Postman: manually check for new emails from anywhere [jailbreak]
Normally, when you want to check to see if you have any new emails, you have to launch the Mail app and pull down to refresh the email inbox of your choice.
If you're already in the middle of something, stopping what you're doing to check to see if you have any emails is obtrusive. It would be so much better if you could just refresh your email from anywhere without leaving what you are currently doing in another app.
That's exactly what a new free jailbreak tweak called Postman is going to allow you to do, and it works with a key ingredient that most jailbreakers are already familiar with.
