Another Unicode text bomb hits Messages app
Say hello to Black Dot, another pesky Unicode bug in iOS that can crash or break the Messages app on your iPhone or iPad with a simple, maliciously crafted text.
Apple is no longer signing iOS 11.3 as of Wednesday, which means iPhone and iPad users will be forced to install iOS 11.3.1 when restoring.
Apple’s recent iOS 11.3 software update has apparently removed touch functionality for iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus owners who have an aftermarket display panel installed.
If you obtained some apps from one or more foreign App Stores, you can now update them alongside all your other apps without having to switch your App Store region.
iOS 11.3 brings new user-facing features for assessing your iPhone battery’s health and chemical age, including manually disabling Apple’s controversial CPU throttling that kicks in as soon as you experience your first unexpected shutdown over a worn-out battery.
In addition to headline-grabbing features like performance throttling, iOS 11.3 packs in a bunch of little things, under-the-hood tweaks and fixes that make this another recommended software update for your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
The feature reduces the maximum charge level when your iPad is connected to power for long periods of time and reverts it back to the previous level when conditions allow.
iOS 11.3 is here and with it arrive anticipated new options in Settings for assessing battery health and managing Apple’s controversial CPU throttling feature.
This unexpected release of iOS 11.3 solely for the refreshed 9.7-inch iPad that launched yesterday probably indicates that the rest of us will get the update in the coming days.
Apple on Friday made the sixth beta of the upcoming iOS 11.3 update available to developers. Registered developers can install the new beta from Apple’s developer center, or by using the OTA updating mechanism in iOS.
Apple on Monday made the fifth betas of iOS 11.3, tvOS 11.3 and macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 available to developers. Registered developers can install the new betas from Apple’s developer center, or by using each platform’s OTA updating mechanism.
