News & Reviews:   iPadOS 16

Last month, Netflix was reported to end app support for iOS 16 and iPadOS 16. In the latest development, Netflix has now confirmed the end of application support for both operating systems. So, what should you know about it?

Apple has an excellent track record of software updates for its devices, with many old devices still being supported by the tech giant. The latest iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 operating systems are no exception, as revealed by Apple on its official developer website.

Popular iOS weather app Dark Sky has officially shut down, with it no longer functioning for existing users beginning New Year’s Day. The app was previously removed from the Apple App Store in September last year after being acquired by Apple back in March 2020.

Previously, we reported that Apple is delaying the release of iPadOS 16 to iron out several new iPad features, including ‘Stage Manager’. The new OS didn’t roll out together with iOS 16 last month and iPad users can anticipate getting an update straight to iPadOS 16.1 by the end of October.

iPadOS 16 was unveiled by Apple during WWDC 2022 but the update itself is not coming to iPads until next month. One of the most stand-out features has got to be Stage Manager and it looks like Apple is making a ‘u-turn’ from its previous decision on the feature and will be bringing it into non-M1-powered iPads.

Today, Apple has finally released the new major software updates to every Apple device. This includes iOS 16 (alongside iOS 15.7), iPadOS 15.7, watchOS 9 and tvOS 16. In case you don't see it in your Apple device's settings, just wait for it. 

We’re just a few days away from the official release of iOS 16 and it looks like Apple is adding yet another new feature to the iPhone OS. Spotted inside the iOS 16 RC to developers yesterday (7 September 2022), the system can now detect counterfeit AirPods and accordingly, warn users when they try to connect them to their iPhones.

Apple is expected to hold two events later this year. One of the events is for the latest iPhone series, and someone has just tipped about what's in store for another one. According to the source, the second Apple event should be for unveiling the low-cost iPad and an M2-powered iPad Pro.

The upcoming iPadOS 16 update which was first announced by Apple during WWDC 2022 is expected to be delayed for about a month and will not be released at the same time with iOS 16. This is according to reliable tipster and insider Mark Gurman who got the info from ‘people with knowledge on the matter’.

CAPTCHA is one of the web’s most widely-used security features to protect against bots and spams, though the difficulty of some CAPTCHAs have definitely made us question whether we are actually human or just sentient bots. Well, if you’re an Apple user and have had enough of CAPTCHAs, then we’ve got good news for you as a new feature in iOS 16 has made it possible to bypass the security feature in supported apps and websites.
