No new iPhone, no problem for Apple’s bottom line. The company just reported its third quarter results for fiscal year 2017 and they’re awfully good: $8.7 billion profit, or $1.67 per share, on revenue of $45.4 billion. That breaks down to 41 million iPhones, a slight increase from the third quarter of 2016, when Apple moved more than a little more than 40 million handsets Sales were down when compared to last quarter’s 50.7 million, however. But the big surprise was the iPad. On the back of the new 10.5in iPad Pro released at WWDC in June, Apple moved 11.4 million tablets, its biggest non-holiday quarter for the tablet in more than two years. That’s an increase of nearly 30 percent from last quarter and 15 percent from Q3 2016.…

Price: Free Download from: tinyurl.com/pffuwnz At WWDC 2017, Apple showed off its new iOS 11 operating system. It won’t officially launch until the autumn – probably September – but in the meantime we’ve been able to put the beta through its paces. Read on for our thoughts. Interface Apple continues its gentle evolution of the iOS interface – there’s no radical system-wide redesign like we saw in iOS 7, but a variety of tweaks and improvements. Lock Screen and Notifications Lock Screen and Notifications have now been combined into one screen – this ought to make it a bit simpler and easier to use. Control Centre Apple has made significant changes to the Control Centre, introduced in iOS 7 but in recent years suffering from feature creep. The two-screen…

It’s pretty clear that the HomePod was one of the star attractions of this year’s WWDC. For a product that had little in the way of actual stage time (and even less in terms of what was demonstrated to journalists) and won’t ship for several months yet, it certainly grabbed a lot of the airtime directly following the event. And in that, it follows in the merry tradition of products like the original iPhone and the iPad. But it’s hard to tell from the meagre time devoted to it just how important Apple thinks the HomePod is. Its “kicker” placement at the end of the keynote would suggest that the company thinks the device is positioned to make a big splash, but the intense focus on music also seems to…

Pokémon Go is just over a year old, and while Niantic was celebrating the smash mobile game’s first birthday with hat-wearing Pikachu sightings in the game, there was also a big functional addition to the game: Raid Battles and the rebuilt Gym system. The Raid Battles hatch powerful Pokémon at Gyms throughout the game for limited-time showdowns – and up to 20 players can take them on at the same time, working together towards a big bounty. Meanwhile, the Gyms themselves have changed in structure, not only in the way they’re managed by teams and players but also in the way they parcel out rewards for staying put. Outside of February’s influx of second-generation monsters, it’s surely the largest feature addition the game has seen to date – and it…

Have you ever wished you could share your iPhone’s cellular connection with Wi-Fi-only devices nearby, such as a laptop or iPad? You’re in luck: it’s easy to set up an iPhone as a portable Wi-Fi hotspot, opening up its web connection to anyone who is close enough has the password. Here’s how. The benefits Let’s say you’re travelling with your iPhone and MacBook or a Wi-Fi-only iPad and want to do some work. At this point you’ve got two options: do the work on the larger-screen devices, but without being able to connect to any online resources; or go online and be stuck with a smaller screen. Turning your iPhone into a Wi-Fi hotspot gives you a handy third option, allowing the laptop and tablet to piggyback on the phone’s…

Every 90 days there’s a new Apple financial quarter, a new raft of federally-mandated financial disclosures, and another hour-long conference call that lets us hear Apple CEO Tim Cook (and CFO Luca Maestri) take questions from inquisitive Wall Street analysts. Earlier this summer Apple announced its quarterly earnings and followed it up with that exciting phone call. (If you’d like to read a complete transcript, I made one.) Here are seven highlights that I gleaned from Apple’s quarterly exercise in extremely limited disclosure. 1. Cook didn’t defend the iPad For the first time in a while, Tim Cook didn’t have to express publicly his belief that everything will be just fine with the iPad. That’s because, for the first time in three years, iPad sales grew when compared to the…

If you were following Apple back in 2010, you remember the infamous iPhone 4 leak. The handset that introduced the world to FaceTime, the Retina display, and a stunning design that lives on to this day in the iPhone SE was plastered all over Gizmodo some two months before its formal introduction. Even in the age of rumour sites and Reddit, it was a rare red-faced moment for Apple. And from the looks of it, it has happened again. No, the iPhone 8 wasn’t left in a California bar by an absent-minded Apple employee, but a ton of information about the next iPhone was inadvertently leaked by an unwitting engineer. A pre-release version of the HomePod firmware was accidentally uploaded to a public server recently, and naturally, developers quickly downloaded…

iOS users should update immediately to version 10.3.3 to eliminate the risk of a Wi-Fi-based exploit that can be carried out by an attacker in proximity to a device – or potentially through a compromised Wi-Fi router – without any interaction from the user at all. In the iOS 10.3.3 update, Apple patched a bug that arises from how three models of Broadcom wireless chips, which Apple uses in iOS hardware, processes data. The chips are designed for smartphones and tablets, and aren’t used in Macs or other full-featured PCs. Security researcher Rich Mogull of Securosis said, “As described, the Broadcom vulnerability is extremely serious, but we will need to see the full exploit details to determine the real risk to users on all the various devices out there.” Affected…

If you’re like me (and many of you are), you have two Apple IDs for historical reasons that you continue to use. Until the mythical future date at which Apple updates its back-end systems to achieve the glory obtained only decades ago by most businesses that manage accounts to allow merging purchases and other data from multiple IDs into a single one, we’re stuck with it. Years ago, iOS could interact poorly with two ID setup, but then Apple switched to embrace it fully. Now, in iOS 10, the Settings section for accounts even lists iCloud and Store as separate items if you’re using two accounts along with the email addresses for them. That’s a nice move. However, you’re still left with a problem: if you want to use Apple’s…

Apple has removed the iPod nano and iPod shuffle from its website, signalling that the company has discontinued the two portable audio players. The iPod line-up now consists only of the iPod touch. “Today, we are simplifying our iPod line-up with two models of iPod touch now with double the capacity starting at £199 and we are discontinuing the iPod shuffle and iPod nano,” Apple said in a statement. Apple moved on from the iPod as a featured product a long time ago, but until this summer the company still made the two iPods available for purchase. The iPod nano was Apple smallest touchscreen device, while the shuffle had no screen at all, relying on a circle of click controls that you use to navigate through a playlist of songs.…

As there always are at this time of year, there are lots of rumours out there about what the next iPhone will be. This year we’re hearing that Apple is going to release a high-priced, next-generation phone in addition to the expected iPhone 8 models. The idea that Apple might make an ultra-high-end phone with a huge price tag has rubbed many people the wrong way. Daring Fireball’s John Gruber did the math, and while this potential move makes a lot of sense, it’s also a gamble on Apple’s part. But if Apple didn’t release a next-generation phone this fall, it would also be risking the fortunes of both its brand and its most important product. The trouble with the cutting edge In the early days of the smartphone market,…

You probably already know how to search the web from Safari’s address bar on your iPhone, or which button enables the handy Reader mode. But for every Safari feature you think you’ve mastered, another is hiding in plain sight. For example, there’s an easy way to search the current page in Safari, as well as customize how Reader mode looks and feels. Read on for more of our favourite Safari tips. 1. Hide frequently visited websites As you’re browsing, Safari for iOS keeps track of the websites you visit the most and puts them in a Frequently Visited panel just beneath your web favourites, which you can access by tapping the address bar. The ‘Frequently visited’ section can make for a handy way to jump to favourite sites that you…

1. Wi-Fi Assist A quick one worth checking before we move on to more difficult or inconvenient solutions. When Apple introduced iOS 9 some users found that their Mobile Data (or Cellular Data if you are in the US’) was being gobbled up more rapidly than before. It turned out that the reason for this was Apple’s new Wi-Fi Assist feature, which utilises the mobile network if your Wi-Fi is flaky. If you think this is happening to you, you can turn this feature off in Settings > Mobile Data then scroll to the bottom of the page where you can turn off Wi-Fi Assist. In iOS 10, Apple tweaked the feature so it now shows how much data has been used by Wi-Fi assist. It’s still a feature that’s…

If you, like me, were wondering when the iPad’s sales free fall would come to an end, we may now have an answer. Earlier this week, Apple released its latest financial results, including the first quarter of sales growth for the company’s tablet in more than three years. Arresting the tablet’s decline, though, didn’t necessarily mean blockbuster sales. Apple moved 10.7 million iPads in the most recent quarter, but that’s still well below the company’s quarterly record sales of 18.6 million back in 2014. That said, an upswing is an upswing. Whether it continues is anybody’s guess, but there are a number of potential factors that might have the iPad poised for a return to form. Just ‘the iPad’ Though Apple doesn’t break out its sales by model lines, the…
