New "Splitscreen" app works around the limitations, but it's not perfect.

iPhone users noticed a Palestinian flag emoji is being suggested when users type "Jerusalem."

“They literally said, ‘Please don’t talk to her.’”

Pretty much as the title states, really.

Just rearranged my home office and I’m looking for a decent HomeKit enabled desk lamp. I used to use a Benq light bar on my old monitor, but now I have a Studio Display I’m not sure I want to use it on there (unless people tell me it’s fine?)

Thanks in advance.

Apple wants to rid the iPhone-buying process of the post-unboxing update.

Several Apple customers recently reported being targeted in elaborate phishing attacks that involve what appears to be a bug in Apple’s password reset feature. In this scenario, a target’s Apple devices are forced to display dozens of system-level prompts that prevent the devices from being used until the recipient responds “Allow” or “Don’t Allow” to each prompt. Assuming the user manages not to fat-finger the wrong button on the umpteenth password reset request, the scammers will then call the victim while spoofing Apple support in the caller ID, saying the user’s account is under attack and that Apple support needs to “verify” a one-time code.

On December 28 2023, bugreport 12604 was filed in the curl issue tracker. We get a lot issues filed most days so this fact alone was hardly anything out of the ordinary. We read the reports, investigate, ask follow-up questions to see what we can learn and what we need to address.

This probably isn’t possible, but I traded in an old MacBook Air and chose to get the cash added to my Apple account. However, at the minute it just pays some of my subscriptions automatically, and I was wondering if I can withdraw it somehow?

I was looking to buy a few apps (Swish, Transmit) and figured I could get them off the Mac App Store. But Swish isn’t on there and the App Store version of Transmit doesn’t seem worth it compared to getting it directly from their website.

So wondered if I could somehow transfer the cash from my Apple account but guessing the answer is “no”?

Apple says it plans to make it easier for customers to switch to Android as a result of the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA), which went into force today.

Apple released emergency security updates to fix two iOS zero-day vulnerabilities that were exploited in attacks on iPhones.

I detest the lack of a home button on newer iPhones.

As an example, when I go to turn off my daughter’s sleep story on my wife’s hand-me-down iphone. (I can’t remember what model) I cannot ever turn it off. I swipe up down, left, right whatever and nothing works. It’s not intuitive and Steve Jobs would be horrified.

Stolen device protection on iOS 17.3 will allow disabling stolen device protection (as well as resetting face/touch ID) with only the passcode after a few failed face/touch ID authentication attempts. iOS 17.4 beta, which is currently only available to developers, fixes this so you absolutely need to pass biometric authentication to change these settings. If this feature is important to you, you may want to update to 17.4.
