A small update surfaced this Tuesday evening for everyone that has been avidly looking forward to the public release of Linus Henze’s jailbreak untether for iOS & iPadOS 14.5.1 and below.
We first heard about a climate change anthology series coming from Scott Z. Burns way back in January of last year. At the time, nothing was confirmed, but it looked like Apple was close to securing a deal for the series that would eventually see the light of day on Apple TV+. It actually wouldn't be until December that the deal would be finalized, and some of the initial details were revealed. And today, we finally know how the cast is shaping up.
Apple is now selling AirPods Pro with its new MagSafe wireless charging case in the box instead of the previous non-MagSafe one, with the earbuds price unchanged at $249 a pop.
Google has been releasing phones for many years now. And while the company has picked up plenty of love and attention from customers, the company's efforts have not reached Apple-level sales. Some have said it's because Google's attempts haven't reached the same heights as iPhones of the past. But if the argument wasn't going high-end enough, Google appears ready to take on that claim with the Pixel 6 lineup.
There are some devices and features still swirling in the rumor mill that Apple has yet to actually announce. While we can officially strike out "a MacBook with a notch," we are still waiting for things like Apple's big push into augmented reality and/or virtual reality hardware. The company laid the groundwork with ARKit years ago, and, ever since, there has been an expectation that a headset is soon to follow. But, as the wait continues, legendary analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has some bad news for the hopefuls out there.
Following AirPods 3 launch, Apple's lowered the second-generation AirPods price to $129. The Qi charging case is still available as a standalone item, but you can no longer get an AirPods + wireless charging case bundle which used to sell at a discounted price.
Apple TV+ has become the go-to spot for Peanuts content, the whole gang from Charlie Brown to Snoopy. The streaming service is home to original films, including the holiday specials, and showcases new content, too. That includes the upcoming holiday special For Auld Lang Syne. And now there's a brand new Snoopy special coming down the pipe, too.
Apple continues to refine Safari tabs on iPad and Mac, with the latest iPadOS and macOS betas reverting to the old design with proper styling, spacers between tabs and no color matching.
iOS developer MiRO92 recognized that the phone-calling experience on iPhones (even the latest and greatest ones) left quite a bit to be desired. As a result, a new and free jailbreak tweak called YellowPages was conceived.
An improved Apple Maps experience is now available in Australia following recent launches of richer and enhanced mapping and navigation data in Andorra, Italy, Portugal and Spain.
The Dock is something that most iPhone users would associate with the Home Screen, especially because it’s been present there since the dawn of the iPhone in 2007.
Apple released iOS & iPadOS 15.0.2 the previous Monday with bug fixes and security improvements for most modern iPhones and iPads, and now that about a week has passed, the Cupertino-based tech company has closed the signing window for the older iOS & iPadOS 15.0.1 firmware.
