Apple took time today at the iPhone X event to pay tribute to Steve Jobs and the new theater at Apple Park named in his honor. Apple has started its iPhone X event today with an audio recording of Steve Jobs talking about what keeps Apple, Apple. “The act of creating something with a great deal of care and love…that transmits something.” Tim Cook opened by saying “I love hearing his voice” and shared that it’s an honor of a lifetime to welcome everyone to the Steve Jobs Theater....

iOS 13.2 landed earlier this week, bringing with it Deep Fusion, the feature Apple’s marketing chief described in the iPhone 11 keynote as ‘computational photography mad science.’ (Less happily, it also seemed to introduce problems with background apps.) Like Smart HDR, Deep Fusion blends multiple frames to create the best possible composite image. But while Smart HDR is limited to blending different exposures, some designed to capture shadow areas, others to pull in highlights, Deep Fusion also aims to bring out more detail…...

Apple has finally offered the ability to set Spotify as your default music player for Siri commands. This was previously only available on HomePods, and was a feature we asked for back in 2019. The new behavior appears in the beta of iOS 14.5. The first time you ask Siri to play something, it lists all the streaming services you have installed on your device and ask you which of them you want to use....

A claimed prototype of the cellular model of the iPad mini 2 is being auctioned on eBay, with a starting bid of $4,999. No bids had been placed at the time of writing. The reason bids go for so much on these prototypes is that security experts, hackers and jailbreakers like to understand the software that’s loaded on them to get a better idea of what’s going on behind the scenes on iOS devices....

Former director Colin Trevorrow’s treatment for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker has made its way online, and it sounds so much better than the one audiences got from J.J. Abrams. Originally hired to finish the sequel trilogy, Trevorrow was in the process of working on the film’s script when it was announced in September 2017 that he exited the project due to creative differences with Lucasfilm. Not long after that when it was revealed that Abrams was returning to take on the mantle after he kicked off the ongoing story via Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 2015....

Colleges in the U.S. are using a smartphone app to monitor and track students. Besides the obvious concerns surrounding individual privacy, the use of the app is also raising concerns that it is installing a mindset in college students’ that tracking is a normal part of everyday life. A smartphone’s ability to locate an individual is already common knowledge. Smartphones come with multiple communication solutions including GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. All of these individually can provide some context to where a person is and when taken together can pinpoint a person’s location....

On a recent episode of Mac Power Users, Stephen Hackett and David Sparks were looking at the iPad as a laptop replacement. I felt like it was one of the most refreshing discussions of the iPad and iOS that I had heard in a while. They looked at things about the iPad that give them joy and things that do not. The show got me thinking about the history of iOS on the iPad, and where things got stagnant....

News coverage of the deadly virus, which has already killed over 300 people, has been non-stop since China reported the first casualty of the illness to the World Health Organization on January 11, 2020.

As the COVID-19 vaccine has begun to be distributed in the United States, Los Angeles County has developed a new way to let its residents prove that they have taken the vaccine. Citizens can now add the COVID-19 vaccination proof in the Apple Wallet app and in Google Pay for Passes. As reported by Bloomberg, this integration was made possible thanks to a partnership between Los Angeles County and the startup Healthvana, which specializes in delivering test results to patients for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, and now, the company does the same for COVID-19 test results....

It wasn’t until early Tuesday morning, that Crypto.com said withdrawals were allowed again and it would take time to clear its backlog. In the meantime, it informed its users they would need to sign back into their accounts and reset their two factor authentication....

Preliminary analysis We don’t have a lot of elements for the analysis; but we can speculate just a bit: first of all the malware wasn’t delivered through an exploit but as a plain executable file, so apparently we are not dealing with a high-profile attack. Then in one case the malware file wasn’t even embedded with another application, thus reinforcing the hypothesis that the attack, after all, might have been setup in a quick and dirty way....

Along with Star Wars, the DCEU is probably the most polarizing big franchise currently trending. Not only did it start with Man of Steel getting mixed reviews, but the ratings also plummeted with every new movie. Nevertheless, more recent installments seem to be doing much better. Likewise, the characters in these movies and their conflicts are also not so black-and-white. Some of them are good, but others are not. This makes for fascinating rivalry dynamics…for the most part....

As Apple continues its transition to Apple Silicon in the Mac, and introduces new iPad Pro models, I am once again here to ask for a nano-texture display option on more products. Apple last year debuted a 27-inch iMac with the nano-texture matte display option from the Pro Display XDR, and I’d like to see it come to the iPad and MacBook lineups next. Apple Pencil As Jeff Benjamin highlighted in his full iPadOS 14 walkthrough last year, iPad software update includes several key features for heavy Apple Pencil users....
