Apple News Update 26/2/16

Apple has been in the news the last week or two for many interesting reasons.

     vs     

Ding!

The iPhone of a terrorist who shot and killed 14 people several weeks ago in America is locked and the FBI want access. The FBI have asked Apple to create an IOS they can put on an iPhone 5’s RAM so that they can try as many passwords without the phone locking. They have also asked for Apple to set up software so they can break the password with brute force. Apple is fighting it tooth and nail and has had support from Google, Facebook and Twitter to name a few.

Apple says this is bad because it could allow for millions of iPhones to be unlocked, The FBI disagrees. Apple is very afraid they would be forced to give up their source code if things heat up. Its ongoing at the moment.

Apple say they have released an update that fixes the “error 53” code on phones that have been repaired by non-authorised Apple technicians. I guess they have enough going on at the moment without dealing with the class action lawsuit that was recently filled by angry iPhone users left with bricks.

The iPad Air 3 should be on the shelves by the end of next month. Apple says it has all the features and great insides of the iPad Pro. They want it to have the keyboard and the pencil. It also should have speakers in each corner like the Pro. Can’t wait to get my hands on one.

Apple has said its latest IOS will now feature Siri, Fantastic. Siri, Can you explain the ending to Lost please.

The iPad pro has a pencil. The latest IOS update took away much of the functionality of the pencil. Apple says the next update will bring it all back. Happy Days

Lastly, Apple now want to use dual lense cameras on their new iPhones. It makes for a much better picture, especially up-close. Apple really want people to consider the iPhone to be capable of replacing your Nikon or Canon camera but were not sure if they are quite there yet. Exciting stuff.
