Steve Sande’s hands-on review of the new 12.9-inch...
Dennis Sellers and I decided that since we both had experience with the earlier iterations of the iPad Pro that we’d write separate reviews of the new 12.9-inch version. Both of us have the Smart Keyboard Folio, cellular+Wi-Fi, and seemingly have the same goal in mind — be able to use the iPad Pro as our “laptop” of choice. I wrote this entire review on the iPad Pro and published it through Squarespace with no issues.
The hardware of the new device is stellar. The screen is big, bright and colorful, sound out of the four speakers is incredibly good, and I’ve found battery life to be much better than both the first-generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro and second-generation 10.5-inch model. The speed on this device is also noticeably better; things that used to bog down or fail to run on the earlier iPad Pros now seem to whiz right along.

Swift Playgrounds 2.2 makes third party content...
Apple has updated Swift Playgrounds, a free iPad app to teach kids of any age basic coding skills in Swift, to version 2.2. The upgrade — available at the Apple App Store — makes third party content easier to discover and download for free directly within the app.
Also, touch gestures for selecting code are more precise and easier to use. And in version 2.2, What's Next is smarter about suggesting new playgrounds for you to try, and the on-screen keyboard shows and hides more predictably. There are also additional bug fixes and performance improvements.
Playgrounds is designed to teach basic programming concepts like loops and conditionals using an animated character that the budding programmers direct by writing code. The app offers suggestions for code to be used, and Swift Playgrounds also has a special iOS coding keyboard to ease entry of all of those pesky brackets.

New HTTP Version is Coming, Won’t Use TCP
A new HTTP version is coming, and it will work differently than previous versions. Instead of using TCP, it will use a Google technology called QUIC.
In its continued efforts to make Web networking faster, Google has been working on an experimental network protocol named QUIC: “Quick UDP Internet Connections.” QUIC reinstates the reliability and ordering that TCP has but without introducing the same number of round trips and latency.
For example, if a client is reconnecting to a server, the client can send important encryption data with the very first packet, enabling the server to resurrect the old connection, using the same encryption as previously negotiated, without requiring any additional round trips.

Dennis’ take on the new 12.9-inch iPad Pro
When Apple hyped the 2018 iPad Pro as a computer that has outsold almost all other laptops, the company begged reviewers to test drive it as a notebook replacement. Is it? For many people, yes, but for a lot of folks, no, it’s not likely to kick your MacBook, MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro to the curb.
That said, there’s a lot to love about the new iPad Pro. I ordered one of the 12.9-inch models (nope, Apple gives Apple World Today’s gang no review units) with an Apple Pencil 2 and a Smart Keyboard Folio. It’s an incredibly slim device that packs what’s certainly the most powerful ever in a tablet.
How slim? Apple packs all this power into a body that’s 25% smaller in volume than the 2017 model as shown by the photo above with last year’s model on the left, and this year’s model on the right.
The A12X Bionic processor, built specifically for the iPad Pro, packs four performance cores and four efficiency cores for up to 35% faster single-core performance....

Which backup method should you use for making...
You've probably heard it dozens and dozens of times: It's important to back up your data. Apple has Time Machine to help you get on a regular backup routine, but are there other methods you should be using?
Different backup methods use different frequencies by which they push updates to an archive. When evaluating these methods, ask yourself: How many copies are made? How and where is the data stored? How securely is data locked away, both physically and with encryption? And, often the most important, how recent?
Here are a few popular methods for consumer backups
- File synchronization services: These services, including Dropbox, typically monitor particular designated areas of your Mac's storage device and update changes immediately.
- Local backup software: Apps like Time Machine perform backups on a regular interval, which can sometimes be selected.
- Internet-hosted backup services:...

Small repair shops and tech enthusiasts who attempt to fix their new Apple devices may be taking a serious risk in doing so. According to a report from The Verge, Apple confirmed that its new T2 security chip is designed to lock down devices after repair if it doesn't recognize certain authorized replacement parts.
Word of this new policy came out last month in an Apple document circulated among authorized service providers. In order to replace certain hardware components, such as the Touch ID sensor or the logic board on new Macs, the provider must run a specific piece of diagnostic software....

This could prove nifty.
Intel has launched a new modem intended for mobile devices that will connect to 5G mobile networks, the company claiming to have accelerated the launch of the XMM 8160 modem by half a year compared to its original scheduling.
The XMM 8160 5G modem currently boasts peek speeds of up to 6 gigabits per second, Intel claiming this to be etween three and six times faster than the latest LTE modems used in current-generation mobile devices.
The XMM 8160 5G functions as a multimode modem capable of functioning on 4G, 3G, and 2G networks. The unit will also support the new standard of 5G New Radio (NR) along with standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) modes. The use of a single-chip multimode baseband modem can enable smartphone, tablet, and notebook producers to reuse space typically taken up by other modem chips for other components, or even to create a smaller overall device.

How to pair an Apple Pencil 2 to a 2018 iPad Pro
The first time you use your Apple Pencil 2, you’ll need to pair it with your iPad Pro. If you have an iPad Pro 11-inch or iPad Pro 12.9-inch (third generation), attach the Pencil to the magnetic connector on the side of the tablet.
On the iPad Pro screen, you’ll see a pop-up dialog that asks, “Would you like to use this pencil with your iPad?” Click “Connect” and you’re good go to.
After you pair your Apple Pencil, it will stay paired until you restart your iPad, turn on airplane mode, or pair with another iPad. Just pair your Apple Pencil again when you're ready to use it.
(This how-to is based on my experiences and info on Apple's support pages — where the images sometimes come from.)

Apple Confirms Its T2 Security Chip Blocks Some...
An anonymous reader shares a report from The Verge about Apple's new security-focused T2 chip found in the newest Mac computers. The introduction of the chip "has renewed concerns that Apple is trying to further lock down its devices from third-party repair services," The Verge reports. From the report: The T2 is "a guillotine that [Apple is] holding over" product owners, iFixit CEO Kyle Wiens told The Verge over email. That's because it's the key to locking down Mac products by only allowing select replacement parts into the machine when they've come from an authorized source -- a process that the T2 chip now checks for during post-repair reboot. "It's very possible the goal is to exert more control over who can perform repairs by limiting access to parts," Wiens said. "This could be an attempt to grab more market share from the independent repair providers. Or it could be a threat to keep their authorized network in line. We just don't know." Apple confirmed to The Verge that...

What Do You Want In iOS 13?
It’s been just two months since iOS 12 was released, but people are already looking ahead to what Apple might do with the next iteration of its mobile operating system. MacWorld‘s Jason Cross has published his wishlist and I suspect there is much on there that TMO readers will agree with. It includes the introduction of dark mode as seen in macOS Mojave, an upgrade for Siri and a revamped camera. Cross would also like to see YouTube 4K and HDR video support, not to mention more flexibility and power in the iPad version. Here’s a bit of what he hopes comes next on iOS:
Apple can do more, much more. The latest iPhones and iPad Pros sport processors, cameras, and sensors that are capable of incredible things, but iOS at times feels like its holding us back. In particular, the iPad Pro...

The End of ‘Beautygate’
The iPhone XS and XS Max came with a feature called SmartHDR that increased the dynamic range of photos. It also reduced the local contrast and the phone’s performance in low light. The lowlight issues were fixed by decreasing noise reduction, which, when combined with the lack of contrast created a smoothing effect. This was particularly noticeable in selfies and came to be known as ‘Beautygate’. With iOS 12.1 Apple tried to fix the problem. Did they succeed? A video from AppleInsider takes a look.

Review: Vinpok Split 15.6-inch USB-C Touch Screen...
Compared to a few years ago when Apple started building Macs with USB-C ports, there are a ton of USB-C accessories available now. One unique accessory I recently saw on Indiegogo was the Vinpok Split, a very thin and light USB-C 15.6-inch touchscreen monitor for use with USB-C laptops like the MacBook line. In this review, I take a look at this lightweight portable monitor — and you can still get a deal on it as a “super early bird” backer of the campaign for just $199.
Obviously a lot of people are excited about this monitor, as it has raised almost $1.4 million on Indiegogo. Vinpok is producing the Split monitors now, so there should be little worry about not receiving an order if you’re wary of crowdfunded products.

Ming-Chi Kuo Cuts iPhone XR Lifecycle Shipment...
Noted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has issued a new research note today, cutting his shipment estimates for the iPhone XR due to several factors. He believes that some of the decline will be offset by higher demand for iPhone XS and older "legacy" models, but he is still reducing his overall iPhone shipment forecasts by 15–20 percent for the first quarter of 2019.
We have reduced our iPhone XR shipment estimation from 100mn units to 70mn during the new product lifecycle (4Q18–3Q19) for the following reasons: 1) Negative impacts on consumer confidence from the trade war, especially in the Chinese market, 2) expectations from more users for more affordable XR or the dual-camera and narrower bezel design to be provided at the current price level, and 3) competition from Huawei's Mate 20 series.

TF Industries’ Ming-Chi Kuo has cut his estimates for iPhone XR shipments significantly, from 100 million to 70 million, through September 2019. Kuo blames negative consumer confidence due to ongoing trade war, competition from Huawei Mate 20 particularly in emerging markets, and customers coveting features like dual-camera.
Kuo has not lowered his total fourth quarter iPhone estimates of around 80 million units, as he believes the fall in XR shipments will be offset by higher sales of the XS series and legacy models like iPhone 8 and iPhone 7. However, he forecasts a decline looking into 2019.

The zipped data might be a table, it might be some images, it might be a mix of all sorts of things.
On my Mac, when I get a zip file, it’s simple to deal with. Double-click, it’s unzipped, and each individual file is immediately tied to its default opening app.
But a zip file in iOS requires some outside help. It is definitely a second class citizen at best.
But.
The second side of this story is about Shortcuts and, specifically a shortcut you can easily build (the author shows you how) or download to solve this problem. It also gives you the chance to customize that solution in any way you like.
Shortcuts definitely brings me closer to living...

Apple to replace unresponsive iPhone X touchscreens...
Enlarge (credit: Samuel Axon)
If you've had problems with the touch responsiveness of your iPhone X's display, you may be in luck. According to a support document, Apple identified a problem with some iPhone X devices that may cause a component of the display module to fail. The company has now launched a program to replace affected screens for free.
Apple claims that failed display components have caused touch response issues on some iPhone X devices. Part, or all, of the affected displays may not respond to touch input, or, in some cases, they may only respond intermittently. In other instances...

TrendForce predicts Apple iPad sales to dip 2% year-...
According to a new report from TrendForce, global tablet shipments are expected to decline 4.3% year-over-year in 2018 to 145.5 million units, as the shipments of entry-level devices are on pace to grow weaker due to the rise of smart speakers and unfavorable currency exchange rates.
Apple, the leading tablet maker, revealed its new 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models ahead of the coming holiday sales in Europe and the U.S. However, its launch not long after new iPhones and the premium price tags, 25% higher than its ancestors, may prevent the new iPad Pro series from achieving mass market success, according to TrendForce. As the result, TrendForce expects the iPad shipment to fall by 2% year-over-year, recording 43 million units for 2018.
However, the Sellers Research Group (that’s me) begs to differ. Despite the higher prices, I predict that Apple’s tablet sales will be up 5% year-over-year.

Does Wiping an iPhone Count as Destroying Evidence?
An iPhone X seized as part of an investigation was remotely wiped by its owner. This begs the question: Does wiping an iPhone count as destruction of evidence?
Police believe Juelle L. Grant, 24, of Willow Avenue, may have been the driver of a vehicle involved in an Oct. 23 drive-by shooting on Van Vranken Avenue, near Lang Street, so they obtained her phone, according to police allegations filed in court.
No one was injured in the shooting. After police took her iPhone X, telling her it was considered evidence, “she did remotely wipe” the device, according to police.
This will be an interesting case to watch, and could set the tone for future phone-related incidents.

Strategy Analytics: Apple’s HomePod has 4.8% of the...
According to the latest quarterly research from Strategy Analytics, global smart speaker shipments grew 197% year-over-year to reach a record 22.7 million units in quarter three of 2018, putting the market on track to surpass 100 million units in use during the final quarter of the year. Apple’s HomePod continues to slowly gain ground.
Per the research group, 1.1 million units of the wireless speaker were sold in the third quarter, giving Apple 4.8% of the global smart speaker market.
Amazon remained the number one ranked vendor in the third quarter with 32% share followed by Google at 23% share. China’s Baidu was the biggest mover in the quarter increasing its share from just 1% in quarter two of 2018 to 8% in quarter three of 2018.
“The number of smart speakers in use globally will crash through the 100 million unit barrier this month and exceed 125 million by the end of the year,” says David Mercer, vice president at Strategy Analytics. “The market has...

Woman remotely wipes iPhone being held as evidence
Daily Gazette:
A cellphone seized by police as part of an investigation into a drive-by shooting last month was remotely wiped by its owner, authorities said this week.
Police believe Juelle L. Grant, 24, of Willow Avenue, may have been the driver of a vehicle involved in an Oct. 23 drive-by shooting on Van Vranken Avenue, near Lang Street, so they obtained her phone, according to police allegations filed in court. No one was injured in the shooting.
After police took her iPhone X, telling her it was considered evidence, “she did remotely wipe” the device, according to police.
What’s the law here? It’s her phone. Does she have the right to wipe it after it is taken from her? Do the police have the legal right to prevent this?
Fascinating story.

Jean-Louis Gassée on the birth of the Macintosh
Jean-Louis Gassée:
It’s November, 1983; I’m sitting in the auditorium at Apple’s worldwide sales meeting in Honolulu. The house lights dim and “1984” begins. Conceived by ad agency Chiat/Day, directed by Ridley Scott of Blade Runner fame, and destined to be aired nationally only once (during the 1984 Super Bowl).
And:
The lights come halfway up. Steve Jobs’ magical brainchild is lowered from the flies, deus ex Macintosh. Halfway through its descent, the Mac boots up and we hear the newborn’s wail, the now familiar Bong.
And:
Apple’s assembled sales organization was delighted by the Mac’s enchanting presentation, its (almost) never-seen-before user interface. But there was a nervous energy under the surface: Would the Macintosh save Apple from the IBM PC and its clones?
A nostalgic look back, with lots of interesting links and some images that will really take you back. Especially that one of young Steve Jobs giving IBM the finger.

One thing you can be sure of with any new Apple device: it won’t be long before iFixit takes it apart to show us what’s inside, and assess how repairable it is. The company has today published its 11-inch iPad Pro teardown.
The new iPad Pro 11” sports narrower bezels, curvy LCD corners, and cutting edge silicon. This is apparently the iPad Apple dreamed about building from the very beginning, but what we dream about is a device that is easy to repair. Will this iPad fulfill both dreams, or will ours be left in the pipe? There’s only one way to tell—with a teardown …

iFixIt offers a teardown of the 11-inch iPad Pro
The gang at iFixIt, who tears apart tech gadgets and looks at their innards so you don’t have to, has disassembled one of Apple’s new 11-inch iPad Pro and an Apple Pencil 2. The tablet earns a mere 3 out of 10 on the repairability score.
“Apple replaced last year’s Lightning port with a fully modular USB-C port—a huge win for repair,” says iFixIt. “But four of the eight speakers are epoxied into the case, making them completely unreplaceable. And while the battery has repair-friendly stretch-release adhesive with twelve pull tabs, a final bit of tough conventional adhesive stymies what should be an easy battery replacement.”
You should read the entire iPad Pro 11” Teardown, but highlights include:

Images via iFixit
To start, iFixit removed the display from the tablet and the first thing they noticed were the audio components of the new iPad Pro, made up of four woofers and four tweeters.
The speakers and logic board cover impeded access to the iPad Pro's A12X Bionic chip, but eventually iFixit accessed the full logic board. On it, they found the A12X Bionic SoC, 64GB Toshiba flash storage, two Micron RAM totaling 4GB,...

Could the 2019 iMac sport an Apple-made processor?
Obviously, my crystal ball was way off in predicting a 20th anniversary iMac. And I’m shocked that the all-in-one hasn’t seen a 2018 upgrade at all. But perhaps Apple has something REALLY special in mind.
So here’s a (admittedly improbable) scenario: the first iMac was revolutionary and saved Apple’s bacon, so what if the next iMac is just as revolutionary, sporting the first Apple processor made for desktops?
Everyone expected this would happen first with a Mac laptop, but perhaps Apple plans to surprise us. After all, the Mac is the only product from the company that doesn’t pack an in-house designed chip.
My feverish mind conjures a scenario in which the iMac is the first Mac that changes this. The company’s laptops, Mac mini, Mac laptops, and upcoming modular Mac Pro would still pack Intel processors for those who aren’t ready to take that leap. And that leap would entail a lack of support for some Mac apps, a lack of Windows emulation, etc., so not...

How to shift an email address from one Apple ID to...
You can’t merge two Apple ID accounts, those hubs of your iCloud, iTunes, and other Apple online identities. However, you can shift an email from one Apple ID to another if the email isn’t one issued by Apple.
This is often useful if you’re going to lose access to an email address—leaving a job, for instance—or if you were maintaining multiple accounts, and want to settle on just one. It can also be very useful if you had Apple IDs registered in different countries and want to migrate to a single one in a country you’ve settled into it.
There’s a set of warnings and limitations to consider, too:

Where to find Black Friday deals on Apple products
If you’re looking for good deals on Apple products this Black Friday, don’t head to the Apple Store itself. Apple’s “deals” typically amount to little more than gift cards, and even those tend to pale in comparison to what you’ll find at nearby retailers like Target and Walmart.
To aid you in your Black Friday adventures, we’ve compiled this handy guide based on a mix of official ads, credible leaks, deals from previous years, and “Black Friday” deals that are already live weeks in advance of Thanksgiving. As we get closer to the biggest shopping day in the U.S., we’ll update this list with new information as we receive it.

How to make your hard drive icons show up in macOS...
Apple apparently thinks that you’d prefer not to see the icons for your Mac’s built-in hard drive or those of any external drives on the desktop of macOS Mojave (and most of its predecessors). However, I want those icons on my desktop. Here’s how to make ‘em visible:
-
Click on the desktop so the Finder is “active.”
-
Select Preferences under the Finder menu (it’s at the top left hand side of the screen).
-
You’ll see a list of items on your desktop. Check the ones (hard disks, external disks; CDs, DVS, and iPods; connected services) you want to be visible.
-
Voila. Icons for those items now appear on your Mac’s screen.
(This how-to is based on my experiences and info on Apple's support pages — where the images sometimes come from.)

If you have an Apple 13-inch non-Touch Bar MacBook Pro from 2017, this is important.
Apple has launched a 13-inch MacBook Pro (non Touch Bar) Solid-State Drive Service Program. The program allows customers to get free SSD replacements on “a limited number” of devices affected with a data loss issue with those devices. It’s specifically for “MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports).”
Per Apple:
Apple has determined that a limited number of 128GB and 256GB solid-state drives (SSD) used in 13-inch MacBook Pro (non Touch Bar) units have an issue that may result in data loss and failure of the drive. 13-inch MacBook Pro units with affected drives were sold between June 2017 and June 2018.
Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) will service affected drives, free of charge. Apple recommends having your drive serviced as soon as possible.
This program does not affect 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar or older 13-inch MacBook...

There are iPhone loyalists and Samsung loyalists, but which phones will be selling out this holiday season? According to a new survey by Swagbucks, a rewards- and loyalty-program company, adults and teens are split between the two.
Overall, adults are most excited to purchase a new Samsung smartphone, with a third (32%) of adults choosing a Samsung, while a full half (51%) of teens are excited about an iPhone.
The national survey of 1,000 U.S. adults and 500 teens, conducted online in October, also found that women most want the iPhone XS Max, while men want the Galaxy S10.
A quarter of Americans reveal that they plan to spend between $300 to $500 on holiday shopping this year (24%). Additionally, Americans say the sweet spot budget for one person’s gift is between $50 and $150 (43%).
TheSwabucks survey shows that almost all Americans (85%) say that they plan to do some shopping during the Black Friday weekend. Many plan to shop at more than five...

iOS 13 Wishlist: 10 ways Apple can unleash the...
I’m very happy with iOS 12. It’s one of Apple’s best iOS releases in years. Part of the reason it worked out so well is that Apple didn’t bite off more than it could chew—nearly all of iOS 12’s features were available at launch, or came very quickly in an update. It’s a huge improvement over iOS 11’s problematic rollout. iOS 12 seems primarily geared at smoothing out long-standing pain points: we got a renewed focus on performance and reliability, grouped notifications, Screen Time, Group FaceTime, and better Maps.
But Apple can do more, much more. The latest iPhones and iPad Pros sport processors, cameras, and sensors that are capable of incredible things, but iOS at times feels like its holding us back. In particular, the iPad Pro feels like it has everything it needs to be a complete laptop replacement—except an operating system that lets you do...

Last week Patently Mobile posted a report titled "Samsung reveals that their new Infinity Flex Display for Foldable Smartphones will go into Mass Production in 2019." The day after Samsung's revelation, the U.S. Patent Office published a major foldable smartphone patent application from Samsung. When you compare the 2007 iPhone with the iPhone XS Max of today, evolution refined the form factor. The same will be true with foldable smartphones. They may start off a little bulky and end up being cool slick devices over time. Apple's CEO once promoted "Think Different" and on the foldable smartphone front, it's Samsung pushing the envelope as Apple safely watches from a distance.
