#ios 14 beta 5

[aemiron-main]

me: 1, apple: 0 (PSA to anyone else who hates the IOS 18 update/photos app update- there IS a way to revert it)

PSA to anyone else who fucking hates the AWFUL new ios 18 apple photos app UI: I managed to revert my phone back to EXACTLY how it was prior to the update WITHOUT losing any of my stuff (I had been running IOS 17.7.2 prior to the update). Here's what I did:

1.) I had an iCloud backup from BEFORE updating to 18.1.1. This backup was from when my phone was still on 17.7.2. You can still undo the update without a backup, but you'll lose all your stuff/your phone will be wiped. 2.) I went here and picked my phone type (iphone 13 pro in my case) and then downloaded the most recent ios BETA version (17.6 ver 3 beta)- it has to be one of those beta versions, because apple keeps their beta versions signed longer than other versions, and there are no longer any versions of IOS prior to IOS 18 that are still signed. You can't install unsigned versions via itunes, so they're useless. 3.) I downloaded the 17.6 ver 3 beta file to my computer 4.) I opened iTunes with my phone connected 5.) I right-clicked on "Restore iPhone..." button, and selected that 17.6 ver 3 beta file from my "downloads" folder 6.) I let it restore/factory reset my phone & it downloaded IOS 17.6 ver 3 beta to my phone because I selected that file in step 5.) 7.) It finished resetting it and then I SET IT UP AS A NEW IPHONE and i did NOT click the "partial setup," button because THAT button took me to a screen where they were going to force me to update to 18.1.1 AGAIN 8.) After setting it up as a new, blank phone, running on the IOS 17.6 ver 3 beta, I went into my iPhone settings, went to the software updates section, and updated to 17.7.2 (it gave me the option to update to 17.7.2 instead of 18.1.1- this is where the little loophole is, because the 17.7.2 file is no longer available for download online/is no longer signed, but you CAN still update from 17.6 to 17.7.2 from within your iphone settings) 9.) I updated it to 17.7.2. This would be your final step if you don't have an IOS 17.7.2 or earlier iTunes or iCloud backup to restore from. 10.) You can only restore from an iCloud backup during the setup process- so, I factory reset my phone AGAIN, but from within my phone settings this time (instead of using iTunes like I did when factory resetting & installing that IOS 17.6 version) 11.) During THIS setup process, I didn't click on the "partial setup," option, and then just clicked on the iCloud backup option after declining the "partial setup" option, and it restored from my 17.7.2 iCloud backup without forcing me to update to 18.1.1 12.) My phone was back to how it was right before the update! I then went and shut off all of apple's stupid "automatic update" features, made sure that it CANNOT update without me going out of my way to update it, because apple has LOST automatic update privileges with this vile, wretched IOS 18 photos app update. 13.) If you are going to do this, I recommend you do it as soon as possible, because even though the signed 17.6 beta was available, and even though I could update to 17.7.2 from within my phone's settings, there is NO guarantee how long this option will last, it could be gone tomorrow, it could be gone two days from now, it could be gone an hour from now.

14.) I suggest Apple stops letting their UI devs reach into my mind while I sleep & use my nightmares to design their UI, because I don't really think there's any other explanation for how that mess was perfectly catered to piss me off & make the photos app unusable for me.

Ngoài ra, AI còn hỗ trợ xác thực sinh trắc học tiên tiến, giúp bảo vệ thiết bị an toàn hơn trước những kẻ xâm nhập trái phép.

Dòng iPhone được 'lên đời' iOS 18

Theo thông báo của Apple tại sự kiện dành cho nhà phát triển WWDC 2024 ở Mỹ sáng 11/6, các smartphone gần nhất được cập nhật iOS 17 nhưng không thể lên iOS 18 là iPhone 8 và 8 Plus cùng iPhone X. Đây là những thiết bị được giới thiệu từ tháng 9/2017, trong đó iPhone X là điện thoại đầu tiên có "tai thỏ" và màn hình OLED. Trong khi đó, các điện thoại có thể "lên đời" iOS 18 nửa sau 2024 có các thế hệ iPhone 11, 12, 13, 14 và 15, cùng iPhone XS và XS Max; iPhone XR; iPhone SE thế hệ hai và ba. Các mẫu iPhone được nâng cấp iOS 18. Ảnh: Apple

Có nên cập nhật iOS 18 beta?

Các bản Beta dành cho nhà phát triển thường chứa nhiều lỗi, trong khi bản Public Beta sở hữu ít lỗi hơn và phù hợp với những người dùng muốn trải nghiệm sớm các tính năng mới. Nếu bạn quyết định cài đặt iOS 18 Beta 1 dành cho nhà phát triển, đây là một số vấn đề có thể gặp phải: - Một số ứng dụng quan trọng như ngân hàng, giao thông có thể không hoạt động. - Thời lượng pin có thể hao nhanh hơn và gặp vấn đề khi sạc. - Thông báo đôi khi bị chậm hoặc không gửi được. - Hiệu suất tổng thể của iPhone có thể bị ảnh hưởng. Hãy sao lưu thiết bị trước khi nâng cấp Nếu bạn vẫn quyết định nâng cấp lên iOS 18 Beta 1, điều quan trọng nhất là phải sao lưu toàn bộ dữ liệu trên thiết bị trước khi bắt đầu. Việc này sẽ giúp bạn tránh mất các dữ liệu quan trọng trong trường hợp quá trình cập nhật gặp sự cố. Nếu không sao lưu, cách duy nhất để quay trở lại iOS 17 là khôi phục iPhone như một thiết bị hoàn toàn mới. Bạn có thể tạo bản sao lưu trực tiếp trên iCloud hoặc iTunes. Tuy nhiên, lưu ý rằng các phiên bản beta sớm đôi khi gặp vấn đề khi kết nối với máy tính, vì vậy sao lưu trên iCloud có thể là lựa chọn an toàn hơn. Để sao lưu iPhone, chỉ cần thực hiện các bước sau: - Vào Cài đặt - Chọn vào Apple ID.  - Chọn thiết bị mà bạn muốn sao lưu. - Chọn Sao lưu iCloud > Sao lưu bây giờ. Sao lưu icloud trước khi nâng cấp iOS 18 Sau khi hoàn tất quá trình sao lưu, bạn có thể cập nhật iPhone lên iOS 18 Beta 1 bằng cách vào vào Cài đặt > Cài đặt chung > Cập nhật phần mềm.  Read the full article

Apple Set to Launch a 5.4-inch Phone This Year || NeoDrafts

Apple is all set to launch a 5.4-inch iPhone this year. Apple may be working on a new sleek iPhone. The phone would come with a 5.4-inch display, far smaller than the current iPhone 11 model.

Links to the portable 5.4-inch iPhone have been found in the new iOS 14 beta update. In addition to the easy-to-carry iPhone, the beta version also confirms the availability of the Display Zoom feature. This helps users to zoom in on smaller iPhone models without disturbing the experience of the app.

For example, Display Zoom enables the 5.8-inch iPhone 11 Pro interface on the larger 6.5-inch iPhone 11 Pro Max. As the name suggests, it enlarges text, keys and icons.

Display Zoom Feature:

The iOS 14 beta three developers introduces the Display Zoom feature. Including a new, smaller display of 960 x 2,079 pixels that is designed to zoom in on iPhone X. And newer 5.8-inch iPhone versions, but fits precisely on a 5.4-inch screen, 9to5Mac says.

The function adjusts the entire device interface to the size of what’s on the smaller iPhone model to give some magnification. It wasn’t accessible for the iPhone X, iPhone XS, and iPhone 11 Pro. However, it was a piece of the iPhone XS Max and iPhone 11 Pro Max so far.

The new report is pretty much in line with what Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo expected last year. Kuo said Apple would announce a sleek 5.4-inch iPhone with OLED screen and 5 G connectivity in 2020. Earlier this year, he added that the phone would start mass production in September, just before the official launch of the iPhone 12 series.

Or, of course, it wouldn’t be prudent to speculate on the production of the 5.4-inch iPhone model (aka iPhone 12) only by taking a cue from the Display Zoom extension. Nonetheless, recent rumours indicated the introduction of the latest iteration in the next sequence to be released this year.

Apple iPhone 12 Pro edition:

The Apple iPhone 12 Pro edition is expected to feature a 6.1-inch Samsung OLED Super Retina XDR 10-bit colour depth display.

It will have 6 GB of RAM and will also be available in three capacity variants – 128 GB, 256 GB and 512 GB. The phone is supposed to have a stainless steel frame, a new A14 chip, and a triple camera with a LiDAR sensor on the rear.

Another recent change in the Apple iPhone 12 series is that the new iPhones do not feature a bundled charger or a wired Apple EarPod in the phone box. It is said to be done to minimize costs as well as to reduce e-Waste by extending the shelf life of previous iPhone chargers that people in the community are already using.

So far we know that the entry-level iPhone 12 is supposed to come with a 2.227mAh battery. Besides, reports say that both LTE and 5G models will be available with a base LTE version starting at $549. It expects to feature a dual-camera configuration like the iPhone 11. Also a flat-frame like the rest of the iPhone 12 series.

The iPhone 12 lineup is supposed to use Semco and Sunny Optical lenses. It offers better performance and enhanced autofocus performance. According to the same report, the first iPhones with periscope telephoto sensors are scheduled to launch in 2022. The iPhone 12 series will be released on 8 September.

Apple may just have suggested the existence of a 120Hz display on the iPhone 12 series through iOS 14 developer beta 5. The latest iOS developer beta version is said to carry an option that lets iPhone 11 Pro users limit the frame rate to 60Hz. This suggests that an option to go beyond 60Hz could be provided in the next-generation models — at least on the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro…

❤ What’s new in iOS 14 beta 5?

New Post has been published on https://is.gd/pzf7wC

❤ What’s new in iOS 14 beta 5?

    Apple has officially released iOS 14 beta 5 and iPadOS 14 beta 5 to developers. This week’s update brings a few small but notable changes to the iOS 14 experience, including the return of the scroll wheel for picking times and a new Apple News widget option.

iOS 14 beta 5 and iPadOS 14 beta 5 are fairly large updates in terms of download size, coming in at nearly 2GB and nearly 4GB respectively for most users. The updates feature the build number 18A5351d.

In addition to the fifth developer betas of iOS 14 and iPadOS 14, Apple also released watchOS 7 beta 5 to developers today. There is no new macOS 11 Big Sur developer beta quite yet, but it could come as soon as later this afternoon. Furthermore, we expect new public betas of iOS 14, iPadOS 14, macOS 11 Big Sur, and watchOS 7 later this week.

            What’s new in iOS 14 beta 5?

One of the changes introduced in iOS 14 is the new time picker that ditches the iconic scrolling wheel. iOS 14 beta 5 brings the wheel back…kind of. Here’s how it looks in action:

        There is also a new “Tall” widget for Apple News in iOS 14 beta 5. This widget is exclusively for the “Today” screen on the far-left of iOS or iPadOS. It can’t be added to your home screen. This widget increases the number of Apple News widgets to seven and it headlines for Top Stories, For You, and Best of Apple News+.

In the Settings app, you can now disable the Hidden Album in the Photos app. Open Settings, scroll down to Photos, and look for “Hidden Album.”

Apple says: “When enabled, the Hidden album will appear in the Albums tab, under Utilities. The Hidden album is always available in the image picker.”

        New “Availability Alerts” for COVID-19 Exposure Notifications

Apple says: “Receive a notification if Exposure Notifications are available in your current region. Your region is determined by your iPhone and does not leave your device.”

New on-boarding process for COVID-19 Exposure Notifications in the Settings app:

            New App Clip testing options for developers in Settings

New location access request for widgets:

        Shortcuts app has a new “What’s new?” splash screen upon first launch:

Widgets are now blocked when a parent app is blocked with Screen Time
