Announced at last year’s WWDC, Apple’s been firing up Siri Shortcuts at a fairly steady clip. The company says there are now “thousands” of apps integrating the iOS 12 feature, which bring all sorts of third-party functionality to the smart assistant.

Apple to compensate teenager who found Group FaceTime eavesdrop bug
Apple has said it will compensate the teenager who first found a security bug in Group FaceTime that allowed users to eavesdrop before a call was picked up. The bug was initially reported to Apple by 14-year-old Grant Thompson and his mother, but the family struggled getting in contact the company before the bug was discovered elsewhere. The […]

A slew of new Apple products are on the way, if the latest iOS beta is to be believed.
Four new versions of the iPad are referenced in the iOS 12.2 beta, according to developer Steve Troughton-Smith, who made the discovery. The iPads are designated as iPad 11,1 to iPad 11,4 and include two WiFi and two cellular versions.
In theory, iOS 12.2 references four new iPads in WiFi & Cellular variants (perhaps mini, and 9.7″?), all without Face ID, and a (seventh-gen?) iPod touch with no Touch ID nor Face ID pic.twitter.com/xiJN6kmmTe

Troughton-Smith says that the iPad models mentioned in the iOS beta do not match currently released devices. He also explains that the iPads referenced do not have Face ID, leading him to speculate that these may very well be new iPad Minis. Read more…

Report: Apple’s iOS 12 now blocks iPhone-hacking tool favored by police

Your iPhone just got a little more secure — assuming you’ve updated to iOS 12, that is.
Following reports earlier this summer that Apple planned to release a software update that would combat the phone-hacking device, sometimes used by police, known as GrayKey, Forbes has confirmed that the Cupertino-based company has done just that. While it’s not a 100 perfect lockout to the cops, the update goes a long way toward further protecting iPhone owners from invasive government snooping.
But first, some background. The GrayKey device, a physical machine manufactured by the Atlanta-based Grayshift, was able to get around iPhone PINs to unlock phones seized by police. Somehow, the device could bypass Apple’s prohibition of multiple password guesses. This allowed the GrayKey to enter codes in rapid succession until the phone unlocked. Read more…

The new version of iOS should fix several issues people have been reporting including that, at least in some instances, a device didn’t start charging when it was connected to a Lightning cable. The update will also fix a small WiFi issue that forced some iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max devices to connect to a slower 2.4 GHz band when a faster 5 GHz connection was available. Read more…
