Apple Books is the new name for the iBooks app for iOS. First announced at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), the update includes many improvements that should make buying and reading books more fun and yes, more accessible too. Here's a first look at Apple Books on iOS 12.
Unlocking an iPhone X after an unsuccessful Face ID attempt is easier in iOS 12 than it used to be in iOS 11, thanks to an incredibly useful new gesture available right from your Lock screen.
While iOS 12 does not actually bring out official support for allowing multiple people to register their face with Face ID on a single iPhone X device, nor does it enable horizontal unlock as previously thought, customers are now permitted to at least set up an alternate appearance—a feature that can effectively be used to have an iPhone X recognize a second person.
iOS 11 is now installed on 81% of Apple's over a billion active iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices in the wild, up from the 76% adoption rate reported on April 25. By contrast, Android Oreo versions powered less than six percent of active Android-driven smartphones and tablets that had been accessing Google's Play Store during a seven-day period ending on May 7, 2018.
Addressing a long-standing question of potentially merging the iPhone, iPad and Mac operating systems into one with a “no,” Apple did provide a sneak peek at upcoming new frameworks designed to help developers port their iOS apps over to the Mac without too much fuss.
Folks hoping to see Apple improve upon its digital assistant Siri in iOS 12 will be happy to hear it has announced a new app called Shortcuts. The app, which looks every bit like the Workflow automation app it acquired a year ago, will allow you to connect 'Shortcut' operations to Siri, making complex tasks as simple as speaking a command.
Love it or hate it, the iPhone X Status Bar looks different from the one on traditional rectangular-display iPhones. Its unique aesthetic accommodates the ‘notch’ at the top of the handset's display.
But if you have an iPhone with a traditional rectangular display and wish your Status Bar looked more like it did on the iPhone X, then you might want to try a new free jailbreak tweak called StatusBarX by iOS developer Adel Hammoud.
Looking for some jailbreak tweaks to install on your pwned iOS 10 or 11 device? Then you’ve come to the right place.

Are the keys on your MacBook Pro falling off? Has your first-generation iPad Air slowed to a halt? If you were hoping to see new hardware products revealed at next week's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), you might be out of luck, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
Apple on Wednesday seeded the first betas of iOS 11.4.1, macOS 1013.6, watchOS 4.3.2 and tvOS 11.4.1.Registered developers can download the new betas through Apple's developer center, or they can install them using each platform's respective OTA mechanism.
The name Ian Beer should sound pretty familiar by now, as he was the security researcher behind the tfp0 exploit for iOS 11.0-11.1.2 that made CoolStar’s popular Electra jailbreak tool possible.
But Beer is about to become even more popular after a Tweet shared Tuesday afternoon. It appears that he may have yet another tfp0 exploit up his sleeve; only this time, it supports firmware as new as iOS 11.3.1.
Apple has released iOS 11.4 to the public. The update, available for iPhone and iPad, includes a number of new features that make it special. The software update is available now for download over the air (OTA).
