Here are all the details on what sets the new 10.5ins iPad Pro apart from its predecessor.
Screen recording is useful for everything from sneakily capturing your friends’ Snapchats to uploading tutorials to YouTube, and while it hasn’t been too hard to do on iOS in the past, with iOS 11 it’s built right in-you no longer need a spare Mac with QuickTime. But we’re left with the feeling that Files’s introduction may have left quite a few questions unanswered, so in this article, we’ll give you a more in-depth overview of the new iOS file manager. (Uber was criticized past year for removing the “only when using” option.) Apps will be able to access single photos from a user’s library, rather than their entire photo history, and will be given write-only privileges so that users can save images from an app without granting it complete Camera Roll access. The company began this effort past year by adding a new option to iOS 10 that grants apps access to your location only while they’re actively being used.
Some have even suggested that the move could pave the way for the iPhone to replace NFC-based keycard systems like London’s Oyster card or Sydney’s own Opal card. The notes thus created will be saved in the Notes app, and this feature has been named Instant Notes.
NFC, or Near Field Communications, is the tech used to make payments on your phone via Apple Pay and to check in using virtual boarding passes at the airport. On top of all that they can be easily shared and are compatible with other devices, says Apple. The 6th-generation iPod touch is also supported. If you’re one of the folks already online, the button on the prompt will let you send your password over the air with a tap. These are added to files that you want to have grouped under a certain category without having to place them in the same folder.
Arriving in the autumn, Apple’s free iOS 11 update won’t be supported by the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c, so it might be time for some owners to consider an upgrade.
This app represents a step forward in what is now clearly a new direction for Apple’s apps. This might be the thing that actually starts making me use the notification controls on iOS more.

The company also showed off simple AR filters that make use of an iPhone’s or iPad’s camera to add virtual objects to the environment – something that’s very similar to Facebook’s use of filters and Snapchat’s “world lenses”. Conversations can also be organized by the amount of storage space they use, and then be manually deleted. One big improvement, Safari will have a new tool for blocking third-party ads trackers.
