Apple has released a bunch of critical security updates, so whether you’re reading this on a Mac, iPhone, iPad or even an Apple Watch, it probably needs an update. iOS 15.6.1: Apple released a small update to iPhones that includes two important security patches affecting Kernel and WebKit. Both updates could lead to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges and may have been actively exploited. Head over to the Settings on your iPhone and tap General then Software Update to install it. iPadOS 15.6.1: The same security updates that are on iOS are included in the iPadOS 15.6.1 update. To update, go to the Settings app on your iPad, then General and Software Update. watchOS 8.7.1: Apple says this update, which is only available for the Apple Watch Series 3,…

Apple’s events are fun, but they can be a little overwhelming. Not everyone has over an hour to watch the world’s most valuable company pitch its latest gadgets, software, and services. If you’re in a rush, or if you just want a quick overview of everything coming your way from Apple in the next few weeks, look no further. This is your concise guide to everything Apple announced at its September ‘Far Out’ event. APPLE, THE INTEGRATION COMPANY CEO Tim Cook started the event standing in a field in the centre of Apple Park, and immediately told us we were going to hear about the iPhone, AirPods and Apple Watch. Three products that work together seamlessly to provide functionality beyond what they could do alone. Cook said it was “something…

As someone who has been writing about the Apple Watch for eight years, my first impression of the Apple Watch Ultra is that it’s the biggest change to the Apple Watch in its history – yet is recognizably an Apple Watch. The Ultra, with its big 49mm face, is the biggest Apple Watch ever. It’s got the rounded corners that make it clear that it’s an Apple Watch, but the display’s glass is completely flat and runs right into its titanium frame. It’s a very different, striking look. But more than that, this is a chunky Apple Watch. The digital crown, an elegant design touch on all other Apple Watch models, looks more like something from out of a toolbox. The side button, which was designed to be subtle on…

Even though we knew everything that Apple was going to announce at its Far Out event, there were still plenty of surprises during the keynote. The iPhone 14 Pro’s Dynamic Island is one of the best interfaces Apple has ever released. The Apple Watch Ultra is packed with way more pro features than we thought. And the AirPods Pro have tiny trackpads for adjusting the volume. But the biggest shock of all might have been the pricing. For months, we’ve been prepared for extremely high prices due to a variety of factors: inflation, supply chain and production issues, and a greater emphasis on high-end products. But despite all that, this year’s new products won’t cost any more than they did yesterday. And in some cases, they’ll actually cost a lot…

Price: £139 from fave.co/3RgpOq2 Apple has made hay in the audio market with its superior look, feel, and out-of-box experience. It seems Anker has paid attention. The company’s Soundcore Space Q45 headphone delivers on every one of the shape-consciousness hooks the Chinese giant’s become famous for. They also sound great and deliver exceptionally effective active noise cancellation. WHAT DO THE SOUNDCORE SPACE Q45 LOOK LIKE? Expanding on the classy sells theme, top-tier headphones have a look and feel to them that tends to make you forget what a ridiculous sum you paid for them. We know Anker is a less-for-more vendor, but the fact that its Soundcore Space Q45 noise-cancelling headphone costs only £139 still comes as a pleasant surprise. Apple, Bose, or Sony would have tacked a £250 to…

While iOS 16 is full of great new features, not everything Apple announced at WWDC was ready at launch. Some, of course, just don’t work on older iPhones. But others are simply not destined to be a part of the initial iOS 16.0 release. Rather, you’ll see them later this year in iOS 16.1, 16.2, or maybe even a later update. Here are the iOS 16 features we know about that you’re just going to have to wait a little longer to get. 1. iCLOUD SHARED PHOTO LIBRARY One of the most anticipated features of iOS 16 is the ability to have a single shared photo library in iCloud. You’ve been able to make shared albums for a long time, but having a single library shared among family members to…

Even since the introduction of the Taptic Engine in the iPhone 7, Apple has been all-in on excellent haptics. It’s surprising, then, that it has taken so long for the iPhone’s keyboard to have haptic feedback. With iOS 16, Apple finally catches up to Android and many third‑party iPhone keyboards by providing haptic feedback while you type. Disabled by default, keyboard haptics uses the Taptic Engine to produce a little ‘tick’ feeling when you touch a key on the keyboard. It’s distinct from keyboard sounds (which many users turn off right away) and unlike those annoying keyboard sounds, it continues to operate even when your iPhone is on silent mode. Even though this feature has been available in some third-party iPhone keyboards and many Android phones for years, it feels…

Your iPhone can automatically drop a pin in Apple Maps when parking your car. iOS infers this through your connection to your car audio system, relying on Bluetooth or CarPlay. When you disconnect or turn the car off and walk away, the location you left is where your iPhone believes you parked your car. However, you might find that this feature isn’t working for you, as a family member did. In fact, they couldn’t even find the option, which is usually in Settings > Maps as Show Parked Location. Apple mediates this feature through privacy settings. It requires that you have Settings > Privacy > Location Services turned on and that Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services > Significant Locations is also set to On. The reason?…

If you were hoping to see an announcement at Apple’s Far Out event that it was switching to RCS for Messages, you were disappointed. And if you’re still holding out hope that the feature could be coming to iPhones soon, you’re also going to be disappointed. During Vox Media’s 2022 Code Conference (fave.co/3eB18Kk), Tim Cook was asked about the whole iPhone-iOS texting issue and he had a pretty blunt answer: “I don’t hear our users asking that we put a lot of energy on that, on this point.” That’s probably true. But users probably weren’t clamouring for the Dynamic Island either and look how great that is. Apple has been under increasing pressure from Google to adopt the Rich Communication Services standard, which is basically iMessage for regular texts. As…

Perhaps the biggest advances in the iPhone 14 Pro aren’t things you can see from the outside. The main camera has four times the megapixels as any previous iPhone camera, enabling all sorts of functionality. There are other camera upgrades, too, and they’re all boosted by the new A16 Bionic chip and its associated subprocessors. But all people will notice are the things they can see. At the Far Out event to introduce the new iPhones, I was able to see the biggest visual difference: the Dynamic Island – a feature that merges hardware and software while answering the question, ‘Do you think Apple regrets not giving the notch a brand name?’ The Dynamic Island is the replacement for the notch, a combination of two small sensor cut-outs that Apple…

At Apple’s Far Out event, the company announced its new line-up for the Apple Watch. The big news is the new Apple Watch Ultra, but Apple also unveiled the new Series 8 and second-generation SE watches that replace the Series 7 and SE, respectively. Here are the key features for each model. APPLE WATCH SERIES 8 The new Apple Watch Series 8 has the same design as the Series 7. Available in 41- or 45mm sizes, it has the same rounded corners, the Digital Crown and Side button on the right side, and a choice between aluminium (Midnight, Starlight, Silver, or Product Red) and stainless steel (Space Black, Gold, Silver or Graphite). The health and fitness features are headlined by a new body temperature tracker for tracking a woman’s ovulation…

Preparing for student life can be exciting and stressful. To make things easier, it’s good to know that you have the right tech to help you write your essays, take notes in lessons, and be able to kick back with Netflix and games when all the work is done. The iPad has evolved in recent years to something that can now act as a laptop replacement for many students, with accessories like the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil making it one of the most versatile devices you can buy. Choosing one can be tricky though, as Apple currently offers a wide range of models with different prices and features. No problem, here’s our guide to buying an iPad for your student days. Before you decide, you should also know that…

Price: £129 from fave.co/3TKUAck Belkin has long been committed to accessories designed to work with Apple’s iPhone and other mobile products. When Apple launched the Lightning connector in 2012, Belkin was quick to market with a line of Lightning accessories that conformed to Apple standards. Belkin entered the audio accessory market in 2019 and now manufactures headphones, earbuds, and speakers. The new Soundform Immerse noise-cancelling in-ear headphones are Belkin’s latest audio product. The company is pushing the Soundform name as it looks to establish itself as a company with real audio chops, much like Anker has done with its successful Soundcore line of speakers and headphones. The killer feature here is that the Immerse headphones are designed to work with Apple’s Find My network, leveraging the massive number of iPhones…

The WWDC keynote was nearly two hours packed with awesome new features for the iPhone. Despite the marathon keynote presentation that brought dozens of new features, there are so many changes in iOS 16 that a lot had to be left out. Here are 13 we think are worth pointing out. 1. SUPPORT FOR SWITCH CONTROLLERS (AND OTHERS) iOS 16 officially includes support for multiple new Bluetooth game controllers, including Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons and Pro Controllers so you’ll have even more options when you play games. This support extends to tvOS and iPadOS, too. 2. LOCKED FOLDERS IN PHOTOS As an extra privacy measure, the Hidden and Recently Deleted folders in Photos are locked by default now so someone won’t accidentally stumble upon them. You use your iPhone login credentials…

Notifications are a problem. In a ceaseless bid to capture as much of your attention as possible, apps will notify you ad nauseam about every little thing. You can go to Settings > Notifications and change a lot of settings to limit this on a per-app basis, but let’s face it, not many people do. What’s worse, the never-ending scroll of notification bubbles quickly consumes your lock screen, covering up whatever touching photos or cool artwork you have there. Now that Apple lets you customize your Lock Screen in iOS 16, it’s having none of that! You can choose from three options for how notifications appear on your lock screen, two of which are designed not to take up much space. START SWIPING AND PINCHING There are three possible views…

Apple tries to simulate the experience of a snapshot camera when you take a picture in the Photos app on an iPhone or iPad by issuing a little click sound. Many of us prefer to avoid that sound. Remarkably, there’s no click on/off switch in the Camera settings. Instead, you have one of three alternatives: Enable Live Photo: If you’re hearing a click, you don’t have this feature turned on, which retains some still images from before and after the point at which you take pictures, providing some animation – and audio. If the click were on, it would be captured in a Live Photo. You can have Live Photo always on when you launch the Camera by enabling Settings > Camera > Preserve Settings > Live Photo. Mute switch:…

An eagle-eyed iOS developer has spotted an unheralded new feature in the iPhone 14: the optional ability to play a sound when it starts up and shuts down. This is understood to be a chime similar to those played by generations of Macs. Steve Moser noticed the feature in the GM code for iOS 16.0, among a number of other last-minute changes that would have given away details of the new products if implemented earlier (such as Action Mode, Dynamic Island notification settings, and AirPods Pro volume swipes). A piece of code reads, simply: “Play sound when iPhone is powered on and off.” “Wake and unlock iPhone when you tap the display or swipe up from the bottom edge of the Lock screen.” “Play sound when iPhone is powered on…

At its recent Far Out event, Apple unveiled its biggest iPhone line-up in history, with the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 and 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus. Other than the new size, which replaces the iPhone 13 mini, there are few new features in the iPhone 14. The design is essentially the same as the previous model and the chip is only slightly improved – it still uses an A15 Bionic but has an extra GPU core like the iPhone 13 Pro from last year. The iPhone 14 Plus also allows for a bigger battery rated for up to 19 hours, which Apple said is the best battery life ever offered in an iPhone. The most significant changes are with the camera. While the set-up is the same – a dual-camera array with…

At its Far Out event, Apple announced the second-generation version of the AirPods Pro, almost three years after the launch of the original AirPods Pro. In this article, we take a detailed look at Apple’s evolution of the AirPods Pro line-up for 2022, and reveal the release date, price, tech specs, design changes and new features of the new model. RELEASE DATE The AirPods (2nd generation) are available to preorder now and goes on sale on 23 September. PRICE The new headphones cost £249 (including free engraving). That’s the same as the previous model. Here’s how that fits in with the current range of AirPods on the Apple Store: AirPods (2nd generation): £139AirPods (3rd generation): £189 (£179 with wired charging case)AirPods Pro: £249AirPods Max: £549 DESIGN With the AirPods receiving…

Students, teachers, and those who work for an educational institution can save money on a new Mac, MacBook or iPad via the Apple Education Store, which offers discounts all year round. Apple throws the education net quite wide, so if you think you may not qualify, there’s a good chance you might. In this article, we will explain who qualifies and how much the Apple education discount is before explaining how to shop at Apple’s UK Education Store (fave.co/3QB6C53). Between June and October each year in the northern hemisphere, and between January and March in the southern hemisphere, Apple runs a promotion for students with qualifying purchases from the Apple Education Store. In 2022, Apple is also offering gift cards. HOW MUCH IS THE APPLE STUDENT DISCOUNT? Apple doesn’t offer…

Price: £129 from fave.co/3cQGsgX For more than a few people, in-ear headphones are a source of endless frustration. Some can never get a comfortable fit from either silicone or foam ear tips. Others can’t stand the way a tight fit makes them feel disoriented and disconnected from their surroundings. On-ear or over-hear headphones aren’t a good alternative for anyone who’s looking to exercise while listening to music, audiobooks, or podcasts. They’re unwieldy and tend to slip off when you work up a sweat. Cleer has an alternative: Its Cleer Arc open-ear true wireless earbuds sit atop the outsides of your ears, with hooks that go around the top of your outer ear to hold the headphones in place. There’s zero discomfort, which could make them the perfect solution for more…

Everyone is talking about their custom lock screen in iOS 16. But the real star feature of the update might be something that gets used (and abused) across social media and messaging every day by millions – a built-in capability to simply cut the subject out of nearly any photo. I don’t mean only your own photos in your own library. Rather, this is an expansive system-wide feature that can also pull the subject out of images on the web in Safari and images in Files. It’s not perfect, with occasional fuzzy edges or strange selections, but it can be a huge time saver. 1. IN PHOTOS, LONG-PRESS ON A SUBJECT AND SELECT COPY In your Photos app, select an image and long-press on the subject. It works best if…

I’m sure this sounds familiar: you’re trying to install the latest iOS release, upgrade to a new iPhone, or just download that cool app everyone’s talking about, and your iPhone says the storage is full. You’ve already deleted every app you don’t think you need, and there’s still not enough space. So you open Settings, tap General, then iPhone Storage and, sure enough, your iPhone is full. Worst of all, a huge chunk of it is just listed as ‘Other’. What’s that supposed to mean? How do you get rid of it? The Other storage section is mysterious and confusing, and there’s no one answer that works for everyone, but hopefully, this guide will help you deal with this problem. HOW TO VIEW YOUR iPHONE STORAGE To see how much…

If you are fed up with having to remove your sunglasses every time you need to unlock your iPhone. Here’s what you can so to speed up the process. The reason why Face ID isn’t unlocking your iPhone is it can’t verify that you are looking at the phone. Face ID normally only unlocks the phone when you are looking at your phone – that way it offers you greater security as someone can’t just hold your phone at your face to unlock it without your authorization, it won’t unlock just sat on your desk beside you, and it can’t be unlocked while you are unconscious or asleep. However you can set your iPhone to unlock even if it can’t tell you are looking at it. If you do want…
