Apple’s ‘Scary Fast’ Was a Fun Non-Event

Last night, Apple held what was perhaps one of the most unusual events in the company’s storied history. While the topic of the event was typical for October — new Macs — the presentation and format had an unusually whimsical spin.

Firstly, the evening timing was unprecedented for an Apple event. Most Apple events start in the morning in Cupertino at 10 a.m. Pacific Time, putting them at a comfortable 1:00 p.m. on the East Coast. Occasionally, Apple will have later start times when hosting events in other locations, such as some of the education-focused events held in Chicago and New York City over the years. Still, those have always been the exceptions, and Apple product announcements coming from Cupertino usually keep to a pretty predictable schedule.

iOS 17.1 Is Here with These 9 New Features for Your iPhone

A new update has arrived! Apple has just released iOS 17.1, and it’s bringing a few new features that we can’t wait to try out.

While we were originally expecting iOS 17.1 to arrive yesterday, the update is out now and we already have a lot of information about it, including the fixes and features it’s brought to the table. 

From favorites in Apple Music to AirDrop via cellular data and a lot of bug fixes, read on for everything new in iOS 17.1.

This Apple Watch feature will save you from hearing damage — enable it now

While it may sound like hyperbole to say that an Apple Watch feature could save your hearing, it isn't. Most of us are regularly exposed to loud sounds which can easily damage our ears, causing hearing loss and/or tinnitus. 

The real danger is not the odd loud bang of a firework or something dropping off a truck, as these are very short-lived occurrences. In most of our day-to-day lives, proper damage is done by sustained loud noise — things like listening to music too loud, riding a motorcycle or using power tools. Anything above 80 decibels (dB), according to the CDC, is going to start causing hearing damage with prolonged exposure.

The Guide to iPad Gestures

Gestures are a great way to become an iPad power user. Gestures help you easily navigate through apps, switch between pages, access controls, and reduce multiple taps to a single swipe. Gestures are especially useful for Stage Manager, the new multitasking environment on iPad.

Apple designed gestures to mimic natural, real-world movements, making them intuitive to use and learn. Swiping, pinching, tapping, and other gestures feel familiar and are easy to master.

If you use your iPad a lot, they’re well worth learning — even just a few. Your fingers will thank you!

You can soon sign into Amazon using FaceID — just in time for Black Friday

Amazon is finally letting you use Apple passkeys alongside TouchID and FaceID to sign into your account, just before the Black Friday sales begin on November 23.

According to a news post from Amazon, the shopping site is slowly rolling out these features over the next few weeks on its iOS app, saving you the hassle of typing in your password.

While you could previously autofill your password from iCloud Keychain, which stores all of your passwords behind FaceID or TouchID, there's been no other way of signing in to your Amazon account other than manually typing it all out.

How to turn off AR reactions in FaceTime and other video apps

iOS 17 has brought the ability to trigger cool augmented reality (AR) effects with hand gestures during video calls on FaceTime and in compatible videos apps such as Skype. For example, you can raise one thumb to trigger the Like animation.

Conversely, a thumb-down will play the Dislike reaction. And with two thumbs up, the Fireworks effect will play directly into your camera feed.

How to activate an eSIM on iPhone

Your days with the physical SIM card are numbered. Apple launched the iPhone 14 models in the US as eSIM-only, leaving out physical SIM cards altogether, so you can expect new models from now on to follow suit.

While eSIM is not a new concept, Apple is swimming against the tide by not including a SIM tray on the new iPhones.

iPadOS 17 brings a raft of new features in better-than-expected update

Lock screen customization, audio message transcripts, smart PDF editing, and Health app are among the highlights.

At WWDC 2023 today Apple previewed iPadOS 17, this year’s main software update for the iPad. While pre-event rumors suggested this would be a quiet refresh, there were several worthwhile changes and new features that are good news for iPad owners.

“iPadOS powers our most versatile device and enables users to do so many things on iPad, and now with iPadOS 17, we deliver an experience that’s even more personal and capable,” said Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering.

How to send animated reactions on FaceTime with iOS 17

Apple's latest iOS 17 update has introduced FaceTime Reactions, which are animated effects that pop up on your screen during a video chat. These reactions are like the ones commonly used in Messages with other iPhone users, such as hearts, fireworks and thumbs-ups. These can sometimes serve as expressive substitutes for written responses or, in the case of FaceTime, punctuate your body language with 3D animations.
