Apple surprised developers today with the release of the first beta for iOS 11.2.
iOS 11.2 beta 1 was seeded to developers even though iOS 11.1 still hasn’t been released to the public. The update comes with a number of new features as well as bug fixes and performance improvements.
Apple gave fans an early hands-on preview of the iMac Pro at the Final Cut Pro Creative Summit in Cupertino this weekend.
The new machine is slated to go on sale later this year. Apple demoed the iMac Pro along with Final Cut Pro X 10.4 which packs some big new features.
YouTube TV will be available as a native app on the Apple TV “in the coming weeks.”
The service, which made its debut back in April priced at $35 a month, gives TV fans the ability to watch live streams from five major broadcast networks, as well as more than 40 cable channels.
It just got a whole lot easier to find odd items on eBay. Now, instead of typing in your search criteria, you can just snap a photo of an object, and eBay will search across the site and return any results that look like your photo.
This is great for those times that you have no idea how to describe something, but you totally have to buy it. Or when you see something in an image and don’t know how search for it on Amazon. Or when you see a super-cool vintage blouse/jacket/bag and want to find something similar.
iPhone X will help keep sensitive messages under wraps by hiding lock screen notification previews by default. To reveal the previews, all you have to do is unlock the device with Face ID.
Apple’s embargo on iPhone X reviews isn’t expected to lift until Tuesday, but it seems the company has allowed YouTube stars to give their first impressions early.
A bunch of hands-on videos have been published today, giving us a closer look at the company’s most anticipated product in years.
Buying a new MacBook is stage 1. Stage 2 is trying to figure out how to get all your peripherals to work with a single USB-C port. Thankfully, there’s another way.
The embargo hasn’t yet lifted on the official iPhone X reviews, but Steven Levy — a journalist who was also among the first people to get his hands on an original iPhone one decade ago — has published an article, revealing his initial thoughts.

Ever dreamed of traveling in style like Steve Jobs? If so — and if you’re happy to spend the price of a good-sized family home in many parts of the U.S. — then you could be the proud new owner of the 400-horsepower BMW Z8 once driven by Apple’s late co-founder.
The BMW is going up for auction at Sotheby’s in New York next month, with a sales price expected to reach between $300,000 and $400,000.
Apple has agreed to dim the lights of its fancy new Chicago Apple Store during the fall months due to deadly bird strikes.
According to the volunteer group Chicago Bird Collision Monitors, dead birds have been found at the Apple Store ever since it opened earlier this month, due to their propensity for becoming disoriented due to the lights, before crashing into the walls.
It’s not just those folks who tried to preorder their iPhone X online who experienced a nightmare scenario; an Apple employee whose daughter posted a hands-on video of the phone ahead of its release has been fired.
Respected Apple analyst KGI Securities’ Ming-Chi Kuo says that shipments of the 3D sensor components for the iPhone X are now stable, meaning that future shipments of the handset — along with next year’s iPhone refresh — should not be subject to delays.
Kuo says that shipments of the 2018 iPhone models will arrive on time and in stable supply this time next year. He also claims that there won’t be a “major spec upgrade” made to the sensor for next year’s iPhone launch.
