iOS 12.1.2 Update Cuts Mobile Data Connection for iPhone and iPad Devices

Apple launched the new iOS 12.1.2 version to address some bugs in the previous versions and to make some changes here and there. However, it seems that iOS 12.1.2 is moving from bad to worse for dozens of iPhone users around the world as, reportedly, the update cuts mobile data connection for iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max, but also other iPhone models and iPad devices.

While the majority of iOS users are rushing to update the OS to the latest iOS 12.1.2 version, many reports rolled out on the Internet, on blogs, forums, and social media, all saying that the new iOS update is cutting mobile data connection for iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max. As for what has Apple said, the Cupertino-based company stated that it “addresses an issue that could affect cellular connectivity in Turkey for iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max.”

That’s indeed ironic since, now, the issue expanded to all the iPhone 2018 models across the world, all these users having only one thing in common – the iOS 12.1.2 update.

iOS 12.1.2 Update Cuts Mobile Data Connection for iPhone and iPad Devices

According to dozens of reports posted on Twitter by iOS users, more and more iPhone owners are now suffering from mobile data connection drops after updating their devices to the new iOS 12.1.2 version. At first glance over those Twitter reports, the iOS 12.1.2 issue is affecting iPhone users across North America, Europe, Asia, and South America, as well.

“Thanks, Apple and Apple Support for the Christmas present. Since updating my iPhone to iOS 12.1.2 I can’t access cellular data,” said a Twitter user from New York, United States.

“AppleSupport, iPad Pro 2018 4g cellular only on iOS 12.1.1 and not 12.1.2? When will an update come? I sent you DM already,” said an iPad Pro 2018 user from India, showing that the iOS 12.1.2 updates is also affecting more Apple devices than iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max.

“AppleSupport, My iPhone X is having WiFi connection issues since I updated to iOS 12.1.2,” said an iOS user from Maryland, in the US, who is also the first to report a link between iOS 12.1.2 and potential WiFi connection errors.

While reports keep on flooding on social media, Apple did not share any comment on this iOS 12.1.2 bug. However, iOS 12.1.3 is just around the corner, as Apple started beta testing for this new version.

Microsoft Surface Pro Slams Apple’s iPad Naming Itself The Real Computer Alternative

The Christmas campaign is approaching and the battles to be the best-selling device are emerging on YouTube. Microsoft’s latest ad promotes the company’s Surface Go by claiming it as the real computer alternative, somewhat directly attacking the Apple’s iPad.

In a short Christmas musical, Microsoft shows us a little girl singing and dancing to the sound of the advantages of Surface Go. Correctly, the lyrics of the song read like this:

“Grandma, don’t run off and buy an iPad. Now my dreams are big, and I need a real computer to do all the amazing things I can do. I would also like to learn how to write some code and help a nice manatee. The Surface Go is what I really want, to be the smartest me,” she says.

The Surface Go is Microsoft’s device that, in their words, combines the performance of a laptop and the portability of a tablet.

Microsoft Surface Pro Slams Apple’s iPad Naming Itself The Real Computer Alternative

From 449 €, with 64 Gb. of SSD and 4 Gb. of RAM, Windows 10 Home and a keyboard that is sold separately for 99 €, it is, without a doubt, a PC-tablet hybrid with Windows that you should take into account. Possibly, according to what Microsoft suggests in the Surface Pro ad they released on YouTube, the Surface Pro might be a computer with Windows for children.

And they are not wrong in comparing it to the iPad (not the iPad Pro), as both have a screen of about 10 inches (the iPad comes with a 9.7-inch display and the Surface Go boasts a 10-inch one). Also, they come with similar resolutions (a little more pixel density on the iPad), compatibility with keyboards and pencils, same weight, and the list of similarities can go on.

Whether or not the iPad is a real computer will have to be decided by each user. But there is no doubt that both Microsoft Surface Pro and iPad devices are in direct competition.

iPad Pro 3 Reveals Possible Features and how the Device might look like

Despite the numerous iPad Pro 3 rumors, an actual picture of the tablet didn’t surface so far. This will all change, however, as there are a few renders which have been revealed. A fairly reliable leaker, @OnLeaks, shared, on behalf of MySmartPrice, some images based on factory CADs (computer-aided designs). While admitting that they might not be completely accurate, so far they represent the best we got.

Apparently showing the iPad Pro 12.9 which is due this year, these images showcase a product with smaller bezels around the screen, much smaller than any currently available iPad. This also means that the fingerprint scanner and the home button might have been completely removed. This sort of confirms previous rumors that you will be using FaceID to authenticate and unlock this device.

You should also note that there is no notch present because the bezels are still big enough to provide room for cameras. Other important details are the metal back which has antenna strips along the bottom and the top of the device and the single-lens camera present on the rear.

Apparently, the Smart Connector has been moved to the bottom of the back (if you hold the device in portrait). Both volume keys are present on the right edge which also houses some sort of mystery port or button. No, it is not the power button, as it is placed on the top edge, sharing space with two speaker grilles.

The charging port and two more speaker grilles can be found on the bottom edge and it is with great sadness that we report no visuals of a 3.5 mm headphone port. All must be taken with a grain of salt for now but maybe on Apple’s event on September 12 we might get an actual good look.

In-display Touch ID Won’t Come On iPhone and iPad Anytime Soon, Android Keeping The Advantage Over iOS

From now and then, rumors about a possible implementation of in-display Touch ID on iPhone and iPad emerge on the Internet. However, since iPhone X came out with Face ID, most hopes regarding a fingerprint sensor beneath the display in Apple devices died off. But it seems that Apple is thinking about that, only that it won’t come anytime soon, in the meantime Android keeping the advantage over the iOS.

And this information comes from a trustworthy source of Apple rumors, the KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who recently stated that the in-display fingerprint sensor wouldn’t come on Apple devices anytime shortly. However, he did hint that this technology, which is increasingly common on Android, would eventually come on iPhone and iPad.

As for the “fingerprint sensor on display” feature on Android, Ming-Chi Kuo thinks the technology will skyrocket by 500% in 2019 as more and more manufacturers will implement it on the handsets they’ll release next year.

iPhone and iPad won’t get an in-display Touch ID anytime soon, Android keeping the advantage over iOS in this regard

While it’s absolutely clear that the iPhone XS device, planned to be presented today, September 6th, won’t feature a “fingerprint sensor on display,” Ming-Chi Kuo also said that the technology wouldn’t come for iPhone and iPad 2019 models, neither.

According to the analyst, the challenge of implementing such a fingerprint reader in OLED displays is the biggest obstacle for this technology to be adopted much broadly. Ming-Chi Kuo also stated that while Face ID technology is indeed useful, an in-display Touch ID on iPhone and iPad would be better in some situations and would provide a more straightforward and faster unlock of the Apple devices.

On the other hand, Face ID is not always working, so Apple might think to add a fingerprint sensor on display to give users more options. But, unfortunately, as Ming-Chi Kuo said, in-display Touch ID won’t come to iPhone and iPad anytime soon, so Android will keep its advantage for iOS in this regard, for the time being.
