Visit Sponsor | | | | | | Popular Stories | Sep 14, 2017 | | | |  We've seen a ton of questions and confusion about the new Face ID authentication feature coming on the iPhone X, so we put together an article addressing many of those issues, including whether it will work in the dark, if you're wearing a hat, or if you grow a beard. Apple executive Craig Federighi also responded to an email from a MacRumors reader to explain that it should even work with "most" sunglasses, while users concerned about thieves unlocking the device by holding it up to your face should know that you can easily disable Face ID as you're handing the phone over. Speaking of Federighi, one of the major topics of discussion after Tuesday's event was the difficulty he had using Face ID on the demo device, which forced him to switch to a backup device. Rather than a failure of Face ID itself, however, the issue was that during setup for the event several people other than Craig had accidentally triggered Face ID scans, and once there have been two failed scans in a row the iPhone will force you to enter a passcode. | | | | | | |  For years, users have complained about iTunes becoming increasingly bloated in trying to handle too many tasks, complicating the user experience to the point of frustration. With the release of iTunes 12.7 this week, Apple began addressing those concerns in a surprising way: completely removing the App Store functionality from iTunes on the desktop. Going forward you'll need to buy, update, and redownload all of your apps through your iOS devices, and you won't be able to load saved older versions of apps onto your devices through iTunes. Beyond the App Store removal, Apple also streamlined organization of several other content types in iTunes 12.7, moving iTunes U content into the Podcasts section, filing Internet Radio under your music library, and removing support for managing ringtones, which should now be done directly on your iOS devices. | | | | | | |  During Tuesday's media event, Apple announced that iOS 11, watchOS 4, and tvOS 11 will all officially launch to the public next Tuesday, September 19. But given that this wasn't a Mac-focused event, the company didn't make any mention of launch plans for macOS High Sierra. Apple's preview website for the new operating system was, however, updated to reveal that macOS High Sierra will launch on Monday, September 25. High Sierra focuses on under-the-hood changes such as a new Apple File System, more efficient HEIF (images) and HEVC (video) file formats, and beefier support for VR and external graphics. On the more visible side, Photos and Safari are receiving some updated features while Siri gains a more natural voice and Spotlight gets more powerful with support for additional content types. | | | | | | |  While the iPhone 8 and iPhone X will support inductive wireless charging, Apple's own AirPower multi-device charging mat isn't coming until 2018. To allow AirPods to charge on the AirPower mat, Apple this week announced a new AirPods charging case that will be sold separately and include the technology. The fine print on the company's website says only that the new case will be launching in 2018, but one report claims it will actually become available in December and will be priced at $69. Until the launch of AirPower, iPhone 8 and iPhone X users will need to rely on third-party charging mats based on the Qi standard if they want to charge their devices wirelessly. We've rounded up a bunch of existing and upcoming ones over a range of price points, so there's already a lot to choose from. | | | | | | |  Amidst all of the product introductions on Tuesday, Apple quietly made one other change to its lineup, raising the price of all 256 and 512 GB iPad Pro models by $50. Flash memory prices have been rapidly increasing in recent months, and Apple is apparently feeling the squeeze, which resulted in a rare mid-cycle price increase not related to international currency exchange rate adjustments. With the increases, a top-of-the-line 512 GB 12.9-inch iPad Pro with LTE connectivity will set you back $1279 in the U.S. and even more in other countries. | | | | | |
