iOS is Apple’s operating system for the iPhone and iPad. It’s also the basis for tvOS for the Apple TV and watchOS for the Apple Watch. It’s even beginning to infiltrate the Mac in some ways. Apple has worked hard to keep iOS private and secure, and it has a huge ecosystem of apps via its official App Store. Some have argued that it is too locked down, but the trade-off is that it’s fast and stable for most users.
As spotted by TechCrunch, researcher Jiska Classen posted a video showing that iOS 18 will reboot your iPhone after three days of inactivity. The security feature, which 404 Media originally reported on, is apparently making it more difficult for police to break into suspects’ phones.
The Resident Evil 2 remake’s Apple App Store release is officially December 10th, Capcom announced. (Before, it was December 31st.)
It’s driven me bonkers ever since Google introduced linking to highlighted text in Chrome that I couldn’t do the same in the Safari browser. Now it seems that’s changing.
I spotted it in the most recent macOS 15.2 beta, where it appears when you right-click highlighted text. MacStories’ Federico Viticci noticed it in the iOS 18.2 beta, where you get it by long-pressing.
The feature, which was spotted by MacRumors in the second iOS 18.2 developer beta, uses Live Activities, so you’ll also see Safari download progress in the Dynamic Island (if you have an iPhone 14 Pro or later). Now give me this but for App Store downloads!
The iOS 18.2 update is expected to come in December.
As spotted by 9to5Mac, the second iOS 18.2 beta introduces the ability to press and hold the Camera Control button to keep focus and exposure. You can currently use the Camera Control button to quickly snap photos and adjust settings (but not lock them).
The Delta emulator’s online multiplayer for Nintendo DS games is now in beta. If you subscribe to the Patreon of AltStore creators Riley Testut and Shane Gill, you can try it out.
Apple had already said this feature was coming, but it’s now possible with the iOS 18.2 developer beta, 9to5Mac reports. In addition to the App Store, EU users can delete Camera, Safari, Messages, and Photos, too.
The redesigned Mail app will automatically sort your emails into four different tabs: your primary inbox with all your important emails, a transactions section for online orders, a promotions category for marketing emails, and an updates tab for newsletters.
The iOS 18.2 beta also adds more AI features like Genmoji and an integration with ChatGPT.
What better place to ring in the new year than in zombie-infested Raccoon City? The port for Apple devices, announced for the App Store earlier this year, has now gotten a December 31st release date, AppleInsider spotted.
Like Resident Evil 4 and Village, it’ll be free to start, and an in-app purchase unlocks the full game.
