Apple’s round of operating system updates for 2017 is complete, and this issue’s cover feature will help you to discover many great additions in the last of them to arrive: High Sierra. If you haven’t installed it already, and were to read Apple’s web page about it, you might not think there’s much reason to bother – but I urge you to read our feature and reconsider. Do you think you already know all that High Sierra has to offer? At WWDC in June, Apple mostly talked about underlying technology changes, which is understandable for a keynote address that’s as much about rallying developers behind those moves as it’s about exciting Apple fans with new features. What has surprised me since High Sierra became available on the Mac App Store…

Apple has made a subtle yet important change to the way that Siri and Search on iOS and Spotlight on macOS return web search results. From now on the top hits will always come from the new default, Google – not Microsoft’s Bing search engine as was previously the case. Apple says this is to maintain consistency with the default search engine in Safari on both platforms, but the reason is likely to be more prosaic than that: it’s estimated by analysts that Apple will be paid $3 billion by Google this year to be the default search engine on both iOS and Mac – a deal that goes back at least a decade. In practice, web search results including links and videos will return results from Google, with the…

Two surprising security lapses have emerged in macOS High Sierra, with one potentially affecting older versions of macOS and OS X as well. The first vulnerability, affecting the keychain, was discovered by Patrick Wardle, formerly of the NSA and now director of research at Synack, while trying out a beta build of macOS High Sierra. Using a proof-of-concept program he developed, called keychainStealer, Wardle was able to display plain text passwords stored in keychain for Bank of America, Facebook, and Twitter. Wardle posted a video of the flaw on Vimeo (bit.ly/ macoskeystealer) and notified Apple about the concern. Worryingly, Wardle said it would be relatively easy to install a program like keychainStealer. “Most attacks we see today involve social engineering and seem to be successful targeting Mac users,” Wardle told…

EXPLAINED Photos’ improved interface A THE NEW SIDEBAR In Sierra, Photos’ sidebar was optional (View > Show Sidebar), but now it’s a persistent part of the app’s interface. If you want it visible in full-screen mode too, turn on View > Always Show Toolbar and Sidebar in Full Screen. B YOUR LIBRARY Key albums that were previously scattered around the sidebar are now housed under Library. Here you’ll find the likes of Memories and Favorites, along with the Recently Deleted album that temporarily saves items. C REVAMPED IMPORTS Select Imports for a chronological feed of photos and videos you’ve added to the app. Note these are grouped by import session rather than date, and so the likes of Photo Stream entries may show up individually. D NEW MEDIA TYPES Under…

EXPLAINED Tables in Notes A NOTES TABLES Click the Table button in Notes’ toolbar, or choose Format > Table, and a table will be added to your note at the insertion point’s current location. You can add multiple tables to a single note – you aren’t limited to one. B TABLE FORMATTING Tables in Notes start off two cells tall and two cells wide. To change the setup, Ctrl-click the column or row widget (three dots), and then use the Add and Delete options accordingly. Note you don’t get headers – just standard cells. C COLUMNS AND ROWS Columns and rows in Notes can be rearranged. Click in a cell in the one to move, then drag from the relevant column or row widget. Be aware that you can only…

COPY AND PASTE Universal Clipboard is part of the Continuity features that are designed to make it easier for you to work with multiple Apple devices. With two Macs signed in to the same iCloud account, which have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on, and Handoff enabled in System Preferences’ General pane, you can copy and paste text, images, and videos between them. High Sierra takes this up a notch with the ability to copy and paste files. Simply use the regular Cmd+C and Cmd+V shortcuts in Finder. Devices that support Continuity are listed at bit.ly/mlcontin. Using Universal Clipboard in this way is less hassle than AirDrop or file sharing, but if it still seems like more work than is necessary, you can put your Desktop and Documents folders in iCloud…

Free From Rinat Khanov, measurekit.com Made for iPhone, iPad Needs iOS 11.0 or later, A9 or later processor MARKit is a new framework in iOS 11 that lays the groundwork for developers to include augmented reality (AR) features in their apps. We’ve seen all sorts of Pokémon Go-style “cartoon characters in the coffee shop” demos, some of which are emerging as finished products. But AR has more practical uses, with a growing number of measuring tape apps rapidly filling the App Store. Because they’re built on the same ARKit features, these apps all work in similar ways, and AR MeasureKit exemplifies both the cleverness and the frustration of the technology. Open it and a live view from your camera fills the screen, which ARKit spends a few seconds analyzing. You…

Free From Contrast Apps, contrast.co Made for iPhone, iPad Needs iOS 10.3 or later For the last few years, we’ve relied on the one-two punch of The Weather Channel and Perfect Weather apps to stay up-to-date on current climate conditions. The latter was recently decommissioned in favor of a new app, but the forecast looks like this one’s a keeper. Weather Atlas provides a gorgeous, map-based look at hourly or 10-day conditions around your current location, as well as places you’ve saved as favorites, all at a glance. By comparison, The Weather Channel forces you to scroll through charts and photos to see more than a few hours ahead. You can also toggle radar and cloud layers on or off, and get a quick peek from the Lock screen with…

$4.99 From Feral Interactive, feralinteractive.com Made for iPad Needs iOS 10.2 or later The third Rome: Total War game to march onto the App Store puts you in the sandals of Alexander the not-yet-Great, and asks you to conquer the known world within a time limit. After all, if the real Alexander could do it by the time he was 32, you should be able to in 100 turns. Apart from the constant fear of running out of time, little else has changed since the series’ previous iPad release. The turn-based gameplay has you maneuver your armies and recruit new units to gain strategic advantage on a map. Bump into an opposing army, or lay siege to a city, and you’ll be dropped into the meat of the action –…

Free From Space Inch, spaceinch.com Made For iPhone, iPad, Watch Needs iOS 8.0 or later If money is truly the root of all evil, then Make It Rain: The Love of Money is a game even the Devil himself might enjoy. The object is to see how fast you can swipe and watch the money pile up – you know, “make it rain,” in gangsta parlance. It’s more addictive than you might think, but a whole lot less fun on Apple Watch, where you simply keep tapping ad nauseum to watch the amount of cash increase without so much as the satisfaction of accompanying sound effects. On the plus side, the animation is smooth, and watchOS responds well to persistent tapping on the screen. Also a positive, the Watch version…

VISIT MACLIFE.COM FOR ONLINE-EXCLUSIVE REVIEWS, UPDATED DAILY From $699 From Apple, apple.com Features 4.7-inch Retina HD display with True Tone and P3 color gamut, A11 Bionic chip, 12MP camera, wireless charging (charging pad not included) The iPhone 8 is here, and it’s more or less exactly what you’d expect a new iPhone to be. Apple has improved the camera, added new display tech, and equipped it with a new, more capable processor. The new device measures 5.45x2.65x0.29 inches, making it a tiny amount bigger than the iPhone 7. The size makes it easy to hold and use one-handed, which could be the main reason why you would choose to buy this over another smartphone. The iPhone 8 comes in silver, gold, and space gray. The gold is much truer to…

YES, IT’S REALLY happening! Wireless charging on the iPhone 8! And iPhone X too, but let’s not get carried away, huh, trusty Amex-trapped-inthe- icebox? You’re for emergency dental treatment only. And flights in the event of a surprise Hamilton ticket lottery win. Mind you, owning an iPhone 8 or X with built-in wireless charging has to be better than my current collection of irksome cases, which have to be placed just so on their charging stations. Like that. No, straighten it up a little. A tiny bit left. Yes, that’s it! It’s charging, see the little light flashing on the back – no, don’t pick it up! (I’m also dreadful at street parking and pool.) Even better, Apple is using industry-standard Qi charging, which for a company that can turn…

Free The living room might not seem like the best place to pick up new culinary skills, but Cooking Panda is designed to do just that. Featuring mouthwatering recipes in super-crisp HD, original series with celebrity chefs, and step-by-step cooking classes, you may never need a cookbook again With categories like Sugar Rush and Sensational Starters, there’s always something worth seeing. Shows include Everyday Elevated with MasterChef Sharone Hakman that help transform everyday foods into healthy meals, and Southern Nights with Whitney Miller, which looks at Southern comfort food. Everything here certainly looks tasty and easy to make — and will help banish the dinnertime doldrums. We probably shouldn’t have to say this, but there are no classes on cooking real-life pandas to be found here.…

REQUIRES iOS 11 or macOS High Sierra, someone to call you will learn How to take Live Photos during FaceTime video calls, and how to prevent people taking them of you. IT WILL TAKE 10 minutes Learn iOS 11 High & Sierra FaceTime privacy While Apple has built in privacy protections with regards to Live Photos, be aware there’s little you can do to prevent others from taking screenshots or screen recordings of FaceTime video calls. WITH THE RELEASES of iOS 11 and macOS High Sierra, Apple introduced the ability to take Live Photos during FaceTime video calls on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Live Photos record what happens 1.5 seconds before and 1.5 seconds after you take a picture, allowing the still image in the middle to come alive when…

REQUIRES Apple TV (4th or 5th generation) you will learn How to ensure tvOS versions of apps bought on your iOS device are added to your Apple TV. IT WILL TAKE 5 minutes IF YOU OWN a fourth- or fifth-generation Apple TV – the models that come with a Siri Remote – and you install a lot of apps on your iOS devices, then you may already have a large collection of apps you can use on your TV: many iOS apps come with a version for Apple TV, which you may not yet have installed. There are many reasons for this. Perhaps you didn’t realize a tvOS version existed, or maybe you forgot to check. It could be that you weren’t next to your Apple TV at the time…

I very much miss being able to see all the Home screens and apps on my iPhone while in iTunes. It used to be easy to manipulate apps, create folders, and delete items en masse. That’s not possible in iTunes 12.7. Now I have to go to the App Store on iOS and get apps individually, and moving items between Home screens is now much more difficult and tedious. I consider this “update” a step backward, and I’d really like to see these capabilities restored. DAVID RICKEY Apple has put itself between a rock and a hard place with iTunes. Some people want the app to focus on its media library and player features; adding other stuff on top has caused navigation issues for years. Even so, we see why…

Dedicated gamers and game developers might want to hold off on upgrading to High Sierra for the time being. As macOS moves to the new Apple File System (APFS) and other new underlying tech, some software is reportedly breaking. The announcement of APFS was very welcome news at WWDC 2016. After the San Bernardino terrorist attack, the FBI wanted Apple to engineer a backdoor into iOS for the government – a move that was widely critiqued across the political spectrum. It was suspected that Apple would respond by making its devices and the data stored on them even more secure. Protecting data is a big feature of APFS. The new file system provides a level of encryption so strong that Apple couldn’t access your data even if ordered to by…

EXPLAINED Browse around these improvements A WEBSITE SETTINGS On visiting a website, choose Safari > Settings for This Website. A pop-up menu will appear under the address bar, which gives you a number of display and behavior settings you can tweak, affecting only this site. B READER VIEW Reader strips the cruft from pages (if they have enough text), leaving only the essential page content. Previously, you had to manually trigger it. Now, you can have it automatically activate on compatible web pages. C PAGE ZOOM Safari has always enabled you to zoom the content of the current tab, but now you can set a zoom level on a per-site basis – ideal if you find a favorite site has text that’s a bit too small for you to read…

HOW TO Clear comms A SPLIT VIEW In macOS Sierra, Mail in full-screen mode wouldn’t easily let you compose an email and refer back to your inbox. High Sierra instead utilizes its own version of Split View, opening a tabbed compose area on its right-hand side. B SPACE SAVER This improvement isn’t necessarily easy to see, but if your Mac’s startup disk is an SSD, it’ll use a new filing system, and changes to how it stores files mean that if you have many attachments, say, High Sierra might save you lots of space. C TOP HITS Search in Mail is now faster, but also, more importantly, a bit smarter. The most relevant messages Mail finds are placed at the top of the list, under “Top Hits.” And the more…

Free From Lightricks, lightricks.com Made for iPhone Needs iOS 10.0 or later It was only a matter of time. With the iPhone’s camera always improving, artificial intelligence in photography was always hovering over the horizon. With Quickshot it’s finally here – an app that offers to fix your photos before you’ve even pressed the shutter button. For example, it uses your iPhone’s orientation sensors to deskew photos before you take them, so you always end up with a level horizon. It also offers to adjust things like lighting in real time, and can apply filters before you shoot. Instagrammers will love the deep selection of presets, but hit the individual settings button and there’s even more: shadows, highlights, vibrance, and saturation can be edited individually, as can color temperature and…

$15.99 From Level-5, laytonseries.com Made for iPhone, iPad Needs iOS 9.0 or later The Layton games, usually found on Nintendo’s 3DS system, revolve around solving logic-based puzzles as the main character, Professor Layton. Now, for the series’ second outing on mobile, the character focus shifts to his daughter, Katrielle, and with it, the puzzles go from requiring logic and thought to being more like riddles. However, nothing has been lost in style. The developer, Level-5, is known for its beautiful, Ghibli-esque animation, and this game does not disappoint, with animated cutscenes and background art depicting an imagined pastel version of London. Although the puzzles are a bit of a letdown, the rest of the game — from its wacky plot involving a cult of millionaires, to its music and its…

$0.99 From Telnus, facebook.com/Telnus Made For iPhone, Watch Needs iOS 10.3 or later While it’s good that Apple Maps now displays the speed limit while driving, that feature doesn’t help when driving without navigation assistance. That’s where RoadiAlert comes in. It keeps tabs on how fast you’re travelling, and alerts you when you’ve exceeded the local speed limit. Conveniently, RoadiAlert also works on Apple Watch, where it makes sense to feel a vibrating alert while driving. The problem is, as the developer notes, the app “may contain wrong speed limits,” so it’s not always a reliable substitute for observing speed signs. You’ll also want to keep your iPhone plugged in when background updates are enabled, since they consume 10 percent of battery life for every hour of travel. You have…

Free (subscription required) Long before Peter Jackson embarked on bringing J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy novels to the big screen, he directed a gruesome little oddity called “Bad Taste” — just one of a number of rare cult movie treats to be found lurking on Midnight Pulp, a streaming channel for all things strange. Featuring hard-to-find horror films, digitally remastered kung fu movies, and exploitation titles from every decade, this is a veritable one-stop shop for Italian classics like “Suspiria,” “Black Sunday,” and “Phenomena” as much as for B-movies like “Microwave Massacre” that have to be seen to be believed. The streaming quality isn’t exactly HD, and you’ll have to suffer a few ads here and there, but cult movie fans have the option of paying $4.99 every month to watch ad-free.…

REQUIRES iMovie 10 for Mac, some video footage you will learn How to cut together your footage, and add transitions and titles. IT WILL TAKE 60 minutes GENIUS TIP! You may not want to add the whole of a long clip to the timeline and trim it there. Hold R and drag across it in the top-left pane to select the portion you want to use, then drag that to the timeline. IF YOU THOUGHT iMovie was for turning your amateur footage into equally amateur faux movie-trailers, think again. Stick to its templates and filters and you’ll achieve somewhat hackneyed results. But aim a little higher and you’ll find a competent video editor that makes it easy to cut together a great video. That’s not all, though – adding picture…

YOUR MAC COMES with a built-in backup system called Time Machine that’s very easy to use. It only takes a minute or two to get started with it, and it then backs up any changes made to the files on your Mac roughly once an hour. It’s easy to overlook some of this feature’s capabilities, so this cheat sheet gives an overview of the various ways to recover changed words, files you’ve trashed by mistake, or even your whole setup if a big problem occurs or you buy a new Mac. If you use a portable Mac, you may notice different colored notches in Time Machine’s timeline. Bright red represents local snapshots, which are explained opposite. By upgrading to High Sierra, you stand to benefit from an important improvement to…

HOW DO YOU tell when a product is having its second coming, has got “a new pair of shoes,” or has caught its second wind? With this year’s iPad Pro refresh, the iPad-centric iOS 11, and broader developer support than ever, it feels like now is a new time for the iPad to shine. Looking back on things, the iPad’s launch and steady evolution were crafted in classic, standard company fashion. At first, Apple and much of the industry struggled to give the iPad a concrete place alongside our existing devices, but it was pitched with specific uses in mind: browsing the web, ebooks, games, watching videos, and so on. The iPad’s abilities and appeal have systematically expanded over the years. Apple added powerful things like flexible multitasking, inter-app data…

A FAMILY MEMBERS Open System Preferences’ iCloud pane and click Manage Family. In the Family Members tab, you can add up to five other members of your family to a sharing account. Once invitations have been accepted, everyone in the family will be able to share (most) purchased apps, games, books, and music. B ICLOUD STORAGE In the My Apps & Services tab, select iCloud Storage. In High Sierra, you can share a 200GB or 2TB plan with your entire family. This makes those tiers great value – one of them is likely to provide enough space for everyone’s files and iOS device backups. C LOCATION SHARING Select Location Sharing in the My Apps & Services tab. You’ll see that you no longer have to reach for your iOS device…

A SPOTLIGHT CATEGORIES Search results in Spotlight are a mix of content from the internet, and whatever the search engine finds on your Mac’s internal drive, external storage, and iCloud Drive. If you don’t find certain categories useful, you can disable them in the Spotlight pane within System Preferences. B NEWS SOURCES It’s not going to replace a newspaper, but Spotlight now includes a news section for articles related to your search term. You get a synopsis of each article, and a link to the full version online. It works pretty well for getting the latest on sports teams. C LOCATION MAPS You can, of course, use Maps (or visit Google Maps in Safari) to find out where a place is. But type a location into Spotlight and it’ll bring…

Free From iTranslate, itranslate.com Made for iPhone, Apple Watch Needs iOS 10.0 or later iTranslate has long been the best way to communicate with foreign speakers using a smartphone. The company’s latest iPhone app aims for real-time conversation — the holy grail of mobile translation — and for the most part, iTranslate Converse delivers. The app prompts you to hold your iPhone upside-down so you’re speaking directly into the microphone for more accurate results. After selecting a pair of languages from 38 available options, the first person taps and holds on the screen, speaks in their dialect, then lifts their finger to view and listen to the results. The results aren’t always perfect and can occasionally be comical, but this is the closest we’ve come to translating a bilingual conversation…

$1.99 From Ignacio Schiefelbein, pigeonwingsgame.com Made for iPad, iPhone, Apple TV Needs iOS 8.0 or later Another rich, evil dude has decided to destroy East Megalopolis, and only Pigeon can stop him. Yes, you read that right: in this deranged, high-speed racer, a bird you thought spent its life making a mess of city squares is the true hero. Take that, ungrateful humans! Across 50 levels, you zoom along in a tiny pigeon plane, swooping and diving through the city, racing other pigeons. The prize in every tenth level is taking on flying dreadnoughts aiming to instantly turn you into pigeon pie. These sections are brief and intense, and a nice diversion from the long and intense racing bits. Visually, it’s all quite simple, but super-smooth as the pigeons belt…

$2.99 From Bodymatter, sleepwatchapp.com Made For iPhone, Watch Needs iOS 9.0 or later Apple clearly has sleep tracking on its radar after acquiring Beddit earlier this year, but if you want to monitor what’s going on while you slumber, there’s already an app for that. With one caveat: You’ll need to keep Apple Watch strapped to your wrist while you’re in bed. Sleep Watch uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to provide insight into your nocturnal habits, including sleep rhythm tracking to help you get back to a regular schedule. Most of the heavy lifting takes place on iPhone, so Apple Watch becomes a passive participant used as a tool to collect data while you sleep. The iPhone app looks great and provides a wealth of automatically recorded data –…

APPLE HOMEPOD $349 (TBC) apple.com Apple’s new speaker has something in common with Apple TV: support for both HomeKit and AirPlay 2. The two devices will make a great combination for handling music and video, as well as controlling smart home devices such as lighting. HomePod is clever enough to adjust its sound to suit its room. NETFLIX $13.99/month netflix.com Netflix started 4K streaming in 2014 with “House Of Cards,” and its current range of 4K films and TV shows is perfect for the new Apple TV. It’s pretty good value, as the 4K subscription only costs $13.99 a month, compared to $10.99 a month for HD. You’ll need fast broadband, though. PHILIPS HUE From $70 meethue.com Apple is going gung-ho on home automation at the moment. Philips pretty much…

WHY WON’T MY SON’S IPAD GET THE LATEST IOS UPDATE? Is it jailbroken? If so, remove the jailbreak by connecting to iTunes on your Mac using a USB cable, turning off Find My iPhone, backing it up, and restoring it to Apple’s original software. After that you’ll need to update it to the latest iOS, before restoring from the backup. WHERE CAN I VIEW ALL DEVICES THAT ARE USING MY APPLE ID?

REQUIRES OS X 10.8 or later you will learn How to override your Mac’s sleep settings IT WILL TAKE 10 minutes Your Mac is designed to be ultra-energy-efficient. In the latest versions of macOS, by default the display and hard drive will enter a special sleep mode after 10 minutes. There are times, however, when you may want an app to keep running in the background, in which case you won’t want your Mac to go to sleep. The utility Amphetamine, true to its name, will force your Mac to stay awake indefinitely once it’s been installed. Follow the guide below to ensure your apps will never be interrupted by the Energy Saver settings. (Get Amphetamine for free from the Mac App Store.) If you feel that this is too…

REQUIRES iOS 11, and an Apple Music subscription you will learn How to share music with your friends on Apple Music. IT WILL TAKE 10 minutes iOS Learn 11 MUSIC IS A social experience. It’s why we go to gigs and to clubs, wear tour T-shirts, post music videos on social media, and dance like there’s no tomorrow. Yet when listening on an iPhone, music is often a solitary thing, something we experience in the privacy of our own earbuds or AirPods. Wouldn’t it be great if we could be social there too? The good news is that we can be, as Apple Music has social features built right in to the Music app. You can share your playlists with anyone, find your friends, and discover the tunes that are…

REQUIRES Paprika Recipe Manager you will learn How Paprika can help you cook, shop and plan your meals IT WILL TAKE 15 minutes If you cook, you’ll love Paprika Recipe Manager. As the name suggests, it’s a way to manage your recipes, but it’s more than just Notes with a list of ingredients. It can automatically scale recipes for more or fewer guests, and you can use it to set timers, plans meals to cut waste, and even create shopping lists. The shopping list is smart too, so it organizes ingredients by category, and combines ingredients from multiple recipes – so if you’re shopping for three meals that use eggs, it’ll calculate the total number of eggs rather than list each recipe’s requirements separately. Where Paprika really excels is in…
