Apple may be experimenting with notch-less designs for its iPod touch family of media players, which were last refreshed in July 2015, based on a new glyph discovered in the iOS 12.2 code.
Some people worry about their privacy more than others, and if you’re one to implement defenses on your smartphone that would be equivalent to that of a virtual Fort Knox, then you’ll probably take a liking to a jailbreak tweak called BioProtect XS by iOS developer Elias Limneos.
BioProtect was perhaps one of the most popular security tweaks ever devised for the jailbroken platform. BioProtect XS is fundamentally an iOS 12-16-compatible version of the ever-so-popular security tweak that most know and love, and it has been fully-optimized to work with both Touch ID and Face ID.
Most people use passcodes to protect their handsets from unwanted users for privacy reasons. Although modern handsets incorporate some form of biometric authentication in place of the passcode, whether that’s Face ID or Touch ID, your device still uses a passcode as a backup for when either of those stops working.
But while your passcode can keep your handset’s data safe in high-risk areas, it’s also true that some places (such as your home) pose little or no risk. That’s why iOS developers Luke Muris and Geometric Software released a new jailbreak tweak dubbed IntelligentPass 2.
WhatsApp recently brought an optional feature for locking your chats with Face ID or Touch ID, requiring a positive biometric scan to unlock the app, but it can be bypassed through iOS's system-wide Share sheets. Facebook is aware of the problem and has promised a prompt fix.
Apple is currently testing Mac prototypes with touchscreens and the Face ID biometric feature but that doesn't mean a brand-new Mac model with Face ID is launching anytime soon.
Apple’s MacBook Pro has been my personal computer of choice for almost a decade now, and while I’ve loved every upgrade along the way, I can’t help but feel like Apple could do better.
Given just how expensive a MacBook Pro becomes as you start pegging out the specs on Apple’s website, it seems like Apple could do more to help me justify the price point. With that in mind, I’ll discuss at least ten ways Apple could improve their flagship notebook in this piece.
In this piece, we’ll discuss at least 10 ways that Apple could improve the iPhone to make it even better than how it currently is.
Notches or not, facial recognition employed on some of the top Android handsets doesn't really hold a candle to Apple's sophisticated Face ID feature that allows for accurate 3D depth mapping thanks to specialized TrueDepth hardware which uses invisible infrared light.
If you have an iPhone X or any of Apple’s newer Face ID-enabled iPhones, then you’re undoubtedly familiar with the two-step process required to unlock your handset.
Right out of the box, iOS requires you to swipe up from the bottom of the Lock screen after Face ID recognizes you; but wouldn’t it be nice if your handset unlocked itself automatically? If you’re onboard with this idea, then you should seriously consider checking out a free jailbreak tweak dubbed AutoUnlockX by iOS developer SparkDev.
