Now to Fix a Major Security Flaw in Wi-Fi

However, iOS has been created to do this efficiently by receiving data in batches and non-critical apps will only update when the phone is either plugged-in, on a wi-fi network or now being used. But, Forbes highlighted the operating system’s “only … visible change”: new wallpapers for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro.

Apple patched more than 40 issues in its new 10.3.3 update, but the one that matters most is its fix against the “Broadpwn” exploit. Needless to say, Apple has been busy already this week releasing iOS 10.3.3 and other critical system updates for the other Apple products. And as usual, Apple neglected to show off what any of these minor, hidden features were.

BroadPwn is a particularly insidious security flaw in the Broadcom Wi-Fi chipset that lets attackers bypass operating system-level security measures.

Beniamini noted that Broadcom has said newer versions of its Wi-Fi SoC use a memory protection unit, “along with several additional hardware security mechanisms”.

iOS 11 Features: What’s new? You might need to spend time logging back into iCloud and apps and services that’ve logged you out.

Gruber also points to a 2010 email from Jobs, stating: “Just use [iOS multitasking] as designed, and you’ll be happy”. The chips are designed for smartphones and tablets, and aren’t used in Macs or other full-featured PCs.

In rare cases, software updates may cause cause data loss – or even “brick” your phone (meaning it won’t respond if you try to turn it on or connect it to a computer).

OK, so, you can quickly switch from one app to another on your iOS device by double-clicking the Home button.

FLAC, or Free Lossless Audio Codec, is an audio codec hardcore music geeks love.

Perhaps the most exciting aspect of iOS 11 is that we probably don’t know everything it has in store for us. This is a developer tool which allows them to add virtual objects to your surroundings when viewed through your iPhone’s or iPad’s camera. If you skipped iOS 10.3, iOS 10.3.3 will bring its monster list of patches to your device. But NFC is also used in more things than just contactless payments, such a door locks in hotels. This could include a targeted attack against a person using a device that is known to be vulnerable or a broader attack made over a heavily trafficked connection like a public Wi-Fi hotspot.

In fact, apps frozen in the background on iOS unfreeze so quickly that I think it actually helps perpetuate the myth that you should force quit them: if you’re anxious that background apps are draining your battery and you see how quickly they load from the background, it’s a reasonable assumption to believe that they never stopped running.

This tip – which is supposed to make your phone run faster and extend its battery life – has been around for as long as I can remember, and in a way, it makes sense.
