After a security firm uncovered a flaw in Apple’s iOS Mail app that “allows remote code execution capabilities and enables an attacker to remotely infect a device by sending emails that consume significant amount of memory”, Apple is assuring users that it doesn’t pose an immediate risk. In a recent statement, Apple assured users that the protections in place on iPhones and iPads are strong enough to mitigate any potential risk. “The researcher identified three issues in Mail, but alone they are insufficient to bypass iPhone and iPad security protections.” In its findings, security researcher ZecOps said the flaws “would allow the attacker to leak, modify, and delete emails”. Users who were the recipient of “failed attacks” might see emails displaying the fairly common, ‘This message has content’ warning. Affected…

When Apple announced the new Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro – which features a trackpad that users can use to drive a cursor around on the iPad screen – some pundits pointed out that at long last, Apple was admitting Microsoft was right after all when it designed the Surface with a keyboard and trackpad. Except that’s not what happened. With iPad and Surface, Apple and Microsoft are both headed for the same destination – a new kind of computer that is just as at home as a touch tablet, with a stylus, or with a traditional keyboard and mouse. They’re just converging on it from opposite directions. Go with your strengths Both Microsoft and Apple are victims of their own success. They both start from very strong positions,…

When Apple spends time to talk up a new technology that it’s excited about, you can bet people pay attention. So last autumn, when the company rolled out its new iPhones, featuring a custom-designed Apple chip, the U1, ears perked up throughout the tech industry. Spending the time and energy to design and build a specific chip confers immediate importance on ultra wideband, elevating it to the level of other endeavours that have become central to Apple products, such as the M-series motion coprocessors and H-series headphone chips. And yet, since that initial announcement, Apple has been largely mum about the applications of ultra wideband or the U1 chip. Has the company dialled back on its aspirations or is there more up its sleeves? Getting the wideband back together Ultra…

Staying at home as much as possible for more than a month can be rough on our bodies. Junk food is everywhere, it’s easy to snack as much as you want, you can’t go to the gym, going for a run feels somehow irresponsible, stress is sky-high... There are lots of apps that can help with that, and Heath & Fitness is one of the most popular categories on the App Store. If you take a look at the listings, you’ll see that nearly every app is free – or so it would seem. In reality, the vast majority of fitness apps are only free to download but require an in-app purchase subscription be useful. Many don’t even function at all without one. That’s money you may not want to…

EverythingApplePro has uncovered a strange character-emoji string that will crash iPhones running the latest version of iOS. The bug only appears to affect iOS 13.4.1 and involved a string of Sindhi language characters you’re unlikely to receive unless someone’s trying to mess with you. But with cabin fever setting in from our nationwide coronavirus lockdown, it’s possible your friends might try it out on you. As bugs go, it’s more of a nuisance than a security risk, but it will cause your iPhone to become unresponsive and possibly crash when the notification arrives. The bug isn’t limited to texting either. Any notification containing the string of characters can potentially lock up an iPhone, as EverythingApplePro realized after tweeting about the bug. The bug is confirmed to have been fixed in…

When Apple announced the new Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro, it decided to play coy about how much it weighed. The result is that, despite some accurate speculation, none of us found out for sure until last month when the first keyboards arrived in the hands of reviewers and customers. And so, during the midst of our global isolation event, we were all spared a couple of weeks of bad takes from tech pundits. Alas, those days are now over. But I’ve got good news. While the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro does indeed make an iPad Pro weigh as much as a laptop, you only have to buy one if you want to use your iPad that way. It’s your choice – and that says it all about the…

Apple has finally released a new iPhone SE, an iPhone that doesn’t cost more than your monthly rent, and it has prompted you to finally upgrade. You probably want to dive right into the phone the moment you get the box in your hands, but let me implore you to take a beat and do a little prep first. We have set-up advice you’re going to want to pay attention to. Sure, it seems like an unnecessary waste of time and you want to get going with your brand-new phone now, but this stuff is going to really save you a lot of time and frustration later. 1. Back up and restore That’s right, you’re going to want to back up your old iPhone after you have your new…

Apple does a lot to help us find our misplaced iPhones, Apple Watches and iPads, and rumours strongly suggest that Apple is currently working on a Tile-like device that will allow us to find other items as well. Here’s everything we know so far. The latest rumour: AirTags referenced in Apple support video Apple isn’t trying too hard to hide the existence of AirTags. In March of 2020, it uploaded a support video to its YouTube account showing how to erase an iPhone. At roughly the 1:43 mark in the video – which has since been pulled – Apple shows how to turn off Find My iPhone, and in doing so revealed a toggle for turning off the feature ‘Enable Offline Finding’. In the feature’s own words, “Offline finding enables…

At long last, Apple has unveiled the new iPhone SE, which is essentially an overdue refresh to the two-and-a-half-year-old iPhone 8. But even with a ‘classic’ design, at £419, it’s one of the best smartphone bargains around, with a blazingly fast chip, excellent camera and wireless charging. But even if you’ve studied the spec sheet and made up your mind to buy one, there are a few things you should know that you might have missed. 1. It doesn’t have a U1 chip The new iPhone SE has a lot of the latest tech inside it, but it’s missing one important chip that Apple introduced with the iPhone 11: a U1 chip with ultra-wideband technology. According to Apple, the U1 chip allows your iPhone to “understand its precise location…

It’s taken four years, but Apple has finally updated its budget, pocket-friendly iPhone SE. The original model took the internal hardware of the iPhone 6s (about six months old at the time) and crammed it into the smaller body of the iPhone 5s. The new model takes the same approach, stuffing a lot of the iPhone 11 hardware into an iPhone 8 body. Is this the iPhone SE for you? Well, the £419 price is certainly very attractive, but it’s only a bargain if it’s a good fit. The iPhone 12 might cost more, but if you’re going to be happier with it, you might want to wait. Do the following statements sound like something you would say? iPhones are too expensive Well, you might as well jump on the…

This year has already been big on change, in and outside of Apple. But it seems as though the company may still have more big moves ahead of it. Rumours of a Mac processor transition to Apple-designed, ARM-based chips has already garnered a fair amount of momentum, but new reports have started to spell out details like a timeline, chip capabilities, and more. All of which only lends credence to the speculation. On the other end of the spectrum, the iPad has recently taken on more Mac-like features with the addition of cursor support and a brand-new keyboard accessory. Tied together with Apple’s continuing foray into unifying its software efforts, it points to these two Apple platforms getting closer than ever. But there are still places where each can learn…
