Apple's iPad Pros for 2018 are just around the corner and speculation surround them certainly isn't dying down. With a little more than a week left before the scheduled media event takes place, a 3D artist has released a batch of wonderfully executed renderings that imagine an iPad Pro overhaul featuring a fullscreen design. We're liking what we're seeing, a lot!
Apple has released iOS 12.1 beta 5 to developers. The company also released tvOS 12.1 beta 5 and watchOS 5.1 beta 5. Registered developers can get the updates now.Â
Apple's iPhone XR brings all of the same features as the pricier iPhone XS series sans a few notable exceptions like its lower-resolution display based on LCD rather than OLED technology. Turns out that some techies are upset that, at 6.1 inches, the iPhone XR screen is not full HD so downscaling inevitably occurs when watching Full HD (1920x1080) video.
Apple has introduced AppleCare+ pricing for the recently released iPhone XR. Like with the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, Apple is offering a plan that covers theft and loss this year for the first time.Â
Apple's corporate culture is on prominent display on the company's recently updated jobs site. The biggest change is the introduction of a new video that welcomes possible recruits to the company.Â
The Facebook-owned WhatsApp for iPhone app has been refreshed on App Store with several new features, including an overhauled interface for the quick bubble actions, support for the iPhone XS Max display resolution and a consecutive voice messaging feature.
Facebook-owned WhatsApp is testing a darkened interface in its iPhone app, as well as previewing videos in notifications, according to hidden code strings uncovered by WABetaInfo.
Less than two months after it was first introduced, Apple's Screen Time continues to catch flack for what it does and doesn't do. First, kids figured out a way around the tool's time limitations. Then, it was accused of draining iPhone batteries too quickly. Now, the tool's parental controls are being criticized for blocking (or allowing) the wrong content.Â
Notarization is an optional step in the app development process, but macOS's Gatekeeper will soon require that any signed apps distributed outside Mac App Store be notarized by Apple.
macOS Mojave has several features that tighten security, including an improved Gatekeeper feature that enforces code signing and verifies downloaded apps before allowing them to run. Today, Apple issued a reminder to developers to get their Mac software notarized so customers have increased confidence that it's not known malware.
Apple once proposed that major US wireless carriers adopt a standardized version of iMessage, its proprietary instant messaging service. Telcos wouldn't bite, balking at the idea.
The fairly reliable Japanese publication Mac Otakara claims to have heard from sources in Apple's supply chain that the upcoming iPad Pro models for 2018 would sport a USB-C port.
