iOS 10.2.1 beta 2 rolling out to public testers along with watchOS 3.1.3


As expected, Apple has begun pushing iOS 10.2.1 beta 2 to public testers one day after it was released to developers. iOS 10.2.1 Public Beta 2 can be downloaded if you’re enrolled in the Apple Beta Software Program. If that’s you, grab your enrolled device and go to Settings > General > Software Update.


Also rolling out today is the first beta of watchOS 3.1.3. This update is available to registered iOS developers, who can go into the Watch app on their iPhone and then select General > Software Update to grab watchOS 3.1.3.

There’s no word yet on when Apple will release iOS 10.2.1 or watchOS 3.1.3 to the public.

Protect Your iPhone: iMessage Scam Alert and Safety Tips

Image
With the release of iOS 18.2 and iOS 18.2.1, Apple has implemented numerous security patches to keep iPhones safe and private. However, scams, phishing attacks, and malware remain an ongoing threat. A new iMessage scam is exploiting user behavior to bypass built-in protections. Here’s what you need to know to stay safe. What Is the New iMessage Scam? According to a report by Bleeping Computer, scammers are tricking iPhone users into disabling a key security feature in iMessage. This feature, by default, disables links from unknown senders to protect users. However, if you reply to certain messages—even with a simple “Y” or “Stop”—your iPhone will treat the sender as a known contact. This disables the link protection, making malicious links clickable. By clicking these links, users risk falling victim to malware, scams, or phishing attacks.  ...

BlackPods: Apple's New Black AirPods

Image
BlackPods (apparently both the name of the company and the end product) will take your ordinary shiny white AirPods, subject them to a 'three-phase approach' that yields a 'luxurious scratch-resistant finish', all for the nominal fee of $99. Alternatively, you can buy the AirPods straight from BlackPods and get the BlackPods for $249 - sounds like $9 worth of savings. That is, if you don't already own a pair. At $159, Apple's AirPods aren't exactly cheap, yet they're quite the bargain when you consider the wireless earbuds options. If only they could come in a color to match your Black iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 (in future) , Jet or otherwise. Well, now they can, sort of, courtesy of a company called BlackPods. Mind you, there's a waiting list you need to join at this point, so you can't order the BlackPods right away. It makes perfect sense though - Apple itself won't ship a pair of AirPods for another 6 weeks if you order tod...

HTC Sensation doesn't offer a unibody design after all?

The HTC Sensation, which was promised to boast the company's unique unibody design might not have it after all. The first live  photos and videos  that surfaced clearly show that the back panel of the Sensation is removable, rather than being firmly attached to the frame surrounding the front. The official HTC Sensation page claims that the device features the famous HTC unibody design, but as it turns out, it might be just a cheap marketing trick. Of course, it could be possible that  SlashGear  have just gotten a review unit with a non-final design, but we wouldn't count on that.
