If you've installed iOS 11 on your iPad, then you've probably come face-to-face with the operating system's new keyboard feature, Key Flicks. Basically, Apple has taken its regular keyboard and overlaid numbers and symbols on each letter.

Hackers are using Apple's "Find My" service to remotely hold devices for ransom, reports MacRumors. Multiple people have tweeted about stolen accounts in the past week. Two-factor authentication does not prevent the hack.

iOS 11 is lying to you. Sure, the operating system is full of new features, fixes, and a generally more pleasant aesthetic, but one change is rubbing me (and other battery-conscious users) the wrong way. The revamped Control Center's actions when dealing with the disabling of wireless connectivity are misleading, telling users their Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections are off when that isn't the case.

iOS: Having an elaborate, secure password on your Wi-Fi network can be a great thing. A great thing until that weekend you have guests visiting from out of town and they have to try your 20-character Wi-Fi password a dozen different times because a zero looks like an O or they couldn't tell from your chicken scratch which letters are capitalised and which aren't.

A security researcher from F-Secure has discovered that toggling WiFi and Bluetooth in the iOS Control Centre doesn't actually turn the radios off. Aside from being completely counter-intuitive, it means the device's threat surface remains broader than users realise.

I'm about to set up a new home office so, naturally, I visited my local IKEA for inspiration and ideas. And, I'm also keen to get the new iPhone X when it's available later this year (yeah, I know it's expensive and all that but I'm entrenched in the iOS ecosystem and it's so shiny and new). And that means I can take advantage of IKEA's range of office gear that integrates Qi wireless charging.

Over at Hacker Noon, designer and iOS 11 beta tester Ryan Lau has detailed the myriad design errors he's noticed in Apple's latest mobile operating system.

Apple's new iPhones are now available on pre-sale from most Australian telcos. Here are the full range of plans for Optus customers.

While there is a lot of hype around the launch of Apple’s new all-glass iPhone X, the attention of consumer lawyers is probably focused in a different direction. In April, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) alleged that Apple had contravened consumer law by wrongly representing to customers they were not entitled to have a phone defect remedied if their device had previously been fixed by an “unauthorised” repairer.

The action was brought after reports that some consumers who had had their screen repaired by a third party suffered an “error 53”, which disabled their iPhone or iPad, after downloading an iOS update. Given that the new iPhone launched on Tuesday in the US, it’s timely to think about the rights available to Apple fans under Australian law if they suffer that most common of breakages – the shattered screen.

Apple's new iPhones go on pre-sale today from most Australian telcos. Here are the full range of plans for Virgin customers.

If the rumour mill is correct, we could be looking at a $1500 price tag on Apple's new iPhone when it hits stores in a few weeks. And it won't be alone; Samsung's new Note 8 also launches with a $1,499 RRP towards the end of the month.

But you don’t have to spend $1500 on a new phone, of course. There are loads of great options for half the price or less. We've also included a selection of mobile plans for each option!

Aside from the embarrassing gaffe that put Apple's Face ID in the spotlight when it failed to recognise Craig Federighi's smiling visage during the Apple dog-and-pony show earlier this week, Face ID is now facing questions from the US senate. But the implications are broader and the questions Tim Cook is being asked are interesting.

The heart rate monitoring features of the Apple Watch got a shout-out at yesterday's event: The new watch will monitor more heartbeat-related metrics and Apple will partner with AmWell and Stanford for a medical study. But at the same time, heart rate app Cardiogram was quietly tracking how users reacted to the day's announcements.

The old subject of whether Aussies are paying too much for their tech rears its head whenever a new, expensive product hits the market. And I've been seeing a few people already complaining that Apple is charging their so called "Australia tax" here, bumping the price up on the new iPhones that were announced yesterday. So, are we being fleeced by Apple?

It's been a decade since Apple changed mobile phones forever and today, they announced their latest model - the iPhone X. We've covered all the finer details here, and with Samsung's Note 8 releasing in a couple of weeks, you might be wondering how the two stack up to one another. In a battle of the mobile heavyweights, who wins?

Apple just unleashed two hours of hype, bringing media and fans to its new Cupertino headquarters to unveil its latest lineup of gadgets and software. There's a lot of information to sift through, and most of it isn't really all that exciting.

Apple's new iPhones, the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X (pronounced iPhone Ten) have been announced along with a new Apple TV that can do 4K content and a new Apple Watch with integrated cellular comms. What's all this mean for the enterprise? I take a look at some of the features that the new devices and updated operating systems bring.

The iPhone X's full-screen display may be the first thing you notice about the new device, but Apple's upgraded front-facing camera deserves your attention, too. Maybe even more so.
