The MacBook Pro 2021 – Impressive Performance & Innovation

For a short while now, Apple has tried to force the iOS 15 update on users who still have iOS 14 installed. Users are no longer being given the option to remain on iOS 14 and receive safety updates. According to Cupertino, this is only temporary.

Those who would like to play the popular game "Fortnite" on iPhone or iPad will soon have the opportunity to do so again. Starting next week, users will be able to play the shooter via GeForce Now. There's currently a waiting list for the beta and no paid subscription is necessary.

Tumblr feels its hand forced to take action against sensitive posted content, Twitter fine-tunes the search function, and WhatsApp is soon to make it easier to listen to long audio messages.

A new concept has been released by designer Kevin Kal with some fresh ideas for iOS 16 where the iPhone evolves into a multitasking machine. The concept also includes some clearly improved widgets, and more options for personal device configuration.

Pull out your iPhone at the airport terminal, show the attendant a copy of your digital passport, and then continue onwards – at least, that's the future of documents that Apple envisions. However, plans for the "digital documentation's" US-market introduction have been delayed.

Repairing Apple devices is going to be easier in the future thanks to a new program – and also a new software update. iOS 15.2 will remedy the iPhone 13's infamous "display problem" and re-enable Face ID after a display swap.

Smack in the middle of this week on Wednesday, Apple released a new version of iOS without warning or even a testing phase. The new version should fix an error specific to the iPhone 12 and 13 – although the error was somewhat uncommon.

iOS 15.2 promises several practical features and privacy improvements. Amongst other things, there are also changes to the TV app and "Legacy Contacts" – contacts which can now be chosen for "digital inheritance" in the event of death or tragedy.

Once again, Apple calls the user community to update their software: The first major update for iOS 15, iPadOS 15 and other systems is now available. There are not only bug fixes but also some new features like SharePlay and ProRes support.

Not all users report an unproblematic update to iPadOS 15.0.2: For some users, the update fails. What particularly annoys those affected: The previous version is already accompanied by this error.

iOS 15.1 includes some features that Apple had already announced: ProRes support for the iPhone 13 and SharePlay for all supported devices are some of the innovations that the update already offers in the first beta.

Anyone who buys a new iPhone and wants to transfer the data from an iCloud backup of the previous device often faces a problem: The space of Apple's free iCloud storage tier is not sufficient. Apple is now fulfilling a promise and temporarily expanding the available quota in such cases.

iOS 15 has been released and will soon be available on the vast majority of iPhones. However, some users prefer not to install the new version immediately. Thanks to a feature introduced with iOS 14.5, this is possible without having to do without security updates.

As always – shortly after the release of a major system update – we have a look at the first feedback on the update, any installation issues, as well as other interesting aspects to discuss.

The big update day has begun, because iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 are now available. Apple remained true to the usual annual cycle, which is why the "major releases" are once again released in September. We summarize the most important innovations as well as the system requirements in this article.

Finally, the time has come: Apple releases the next operating system generation for several major platforms. But is it advisable to switch immediately – or should you better wait for a few more weeks? Here are some points to consider.

The trojan virus "Pegasus" has caused quite the commotion recently. The virus has been found on the phones of numerous journalists and high-ranking political officials. Thus far, it's been difficult to detect. However, a recent backup tool from iMazing has made this considerably easier.

Being able to carry personal identification or a driver's license on your phone is quite convenient – however, it could also enable third parties to copy and steal personal identification. There are some clues as to how Apple is approaching this concern in iOS 15's 4th beta.

With iOS 14.7, Apple fixed several bugs left over from previous versions of iOS – particularly an especially aggravating problem with exotic WiFi SSIDs. However, shortly after the arrival of the new update, a bug has been discovered – the Apple Watch no longer automatically unlocks.

The "Pegasus" trojan horse virus is back in the spotlight. Authoritarian regimes have used the spyware (intended for use against terrorists and criminals) to monitor up to 50,000 human rights activists, lawyers, and journalists. The Israeli programmer of the software has apparently taken advantage of a hole in iMessage, amongst other things.

The final version of iOS 14.7 is soon to release and brings a few bug fixes with it. The last beta-build fixes a bug with network names that caused the iPhone's WiFi module to permanently deactivate.
