Poll: What Do You Think about the Performance Improvements in iOS 12?

iOS 12 Performance

Apple released the first public build of iOS 12 at the beginning of this week. Unlike the last few releases of the OS, iOS 12 is all about performance improvements. The highlight of this update is the performance improvements it brings to the table and not any crazy new feature.

Due to this, many users might be at first disappointed with iOS 12 after installing the update on their device. However, over time, they are likely to start appreciating the performance improvements offered by the OS as it can have a significant impact in daily use.

In fact, if you own a particularly old iOS device like the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, or the iPad Air, iOS 12 is easily going to extend the lifespan of your device by another year. It will make your old iPhone or iPad usable from the current junk that it has become with constant lags and dropped frames.

It is not like iOS 12 does not come with any new features. It does introduce Screen Time, Enhanced Do Not Disturb, Grouped Notifications, Password Autofill, and more. These might not be breakthrough features, but they will all help in improving the overall usability of the OS which is always a welcome change.

Now that it has been over 48 hours since Apple first released iOS 12, what are your thoughts on the performance improvements brought about by it? Are you disappointed that Apple has only focused on speed improvements with iOS 12 and not introduced any major new feature? Or are you happy that for once, Apple has taken a break from adding new features and instead focused on improving the performance and stability of the OS. What kind of performance improvements have you noticed on your old iPhone or iPad? Make sure to let us know the model of your iPhone or iPad as well.

Google Reportedly Paying Apple $9 Billion to Remain Default iOS Search Option

Image
It’s widely known that Google pays Apple a certain amount of money on a semi-regular basis to make sure that it remains the default search engine option on iOS devices. It has been said in the past that iOS devices equal about 50 percent of Google’s search revenue on mobile devices, so it’s imperative to the company to keep that spot on Apple’s devices. Before the end of 2017 it was reported that Apple was getting upwards of $3 billion from Google to secure that spot. But now, more than a year later from that report, it sounds like the company may be paying a lot more to Apple. Business Insider is reporting information shared by analyst Rod Hall that states Google is now paying $9 billion this year to retain its default situation on iOS devices. What’s more, Hall actually thinks that number will increase by next year, and Google could be paying Apple for those default rights to the tune of $12 billion. Hall also echoes those earlier reports, saying ““Apple is one of the biggest chann

How to Get iPhone XS Depth Effect Control On iPhone X, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone 7 Plus

The iPhone XS and iPhone XR have a brand new feature. After you click a Portrait Mode photo, you can go into the Edit menu and change the intensity of the bokeh. Basically, you can change the background blur (make it softer or more pronounced) after you’ve already clicked the photo. Apple is touting this as one of the best new features in iPhone XS . But you can get it on iPhone X, iPhone 8 Plus and even the iPhone 7 Plus using a third party app. The new depth effect sensor in iPhone XS blurs photos different parts of the background at a different rate. So the effect you get is similar to that on DSLR. This is not the same as what phones like Pixel 2 do. Since the app in question requires depth data to work, it will not work on iPhones with a single camera at the rear like the iPhone 6, iPhone 7, or the iPhone 8.

Facebook Uses Your 2FA Phone Number for Targeted Advertising

Image
Being stalked from one website to another by persistent advertising is a real issue, but some companies, like Apple, have made strides to try and reduce its impact . But targeted advertising isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, especially if Facebook has any say in the matter. The company has recently confirmed that it does indeed go to some pretty great lengths to provide information to advertisers, with this latest effort definitely one of the social networking giant’s worst. A couple of days ago, Gizmodo ran a piece that outlined how Facebook uses the phone number some users added to take advantage of two factor authentication as a way to target those same individuals with ads. This is an extension of how Facebook already handles phone numbers saved to the platform’s profiles. How it works normally is if you add your phone number to your Facebook profile, and then add your phone number to some online retailer’s online presence, those two sources can match and be used to target advert
