Paving the way of emergencies and iPhone 911 calls in iOS 12

With emergency SOS, using Siri to call emergency service, and calling 911 in iOS 12 will be far more easier and discreet. Apple is now making location sharing in emergency calls more secure, and much easier. This results in more accurate information shared to dispatchers, in a flash.  Yesterday, Apple released an article on Newsroom stating that “In iOS 12, your location on iPhone will be securely and automatically shared in 911 calls. Today, only 10% of 911 emergency calls come from landlines, and the others come from cell phones, such as iPhones. With the old, outdated dispatch centers, it can be very difficult for a mobile phone to share his/her location to the dispatcher during a 911 call.” This is significant, as now emergency dispatchers can find where you are instantly, without having to tell them your address. Apple also mentioned that they’ll be partnering up with RapidSOS to simplify and share HELO location information to improve the response time more accurately. This up

After WWDC 18 is now concluded, it was a big blast in Apple history. But some people expected for the AirPower to be released this week, and a new MacBook Air. There were some new platforms released in this years WWDC, consisting of iOS 12, watchOS 5, and macOS Mojave. tvOS 12 added more 4K features and security to the Apple TV.  But Apple didn’t release new hardware. Many developers find out that this is disappointing and unappreciative to the WWDC tradition. The iPhone and Apple Watch wireless charger named AirPower, is what people were longing for this to be released this week. The downside is that the AirPower is delayed for launch by now. The only new stuff Apple released were 2 new Apple Watch Sport bands, 1 exclusive pride Apple Watch nylon band, and new colors for silicone iPhone cases.   There’s a significant bump on the security of iOS 12. Now autofill on passwords of apps and websites (WebKit) requires Touch ID, Face ID, or the iOS device passcode to add on th

There’s many new rumors and outcomes happening next on WWDC, but we have to wait for the event in one day! Here’s a look into the upcoming event: the new iPhone SE, iOS 12, and the new watchOS and macOS.  iOS 12 and the iPhone 5s First off, let’s start with iOS 12 rumors and the iPhone 5s. While many people were wondering if the iPhone 5s can support the new iOS 12, it can be very likely to be supported. Jonathan Bedard from WebKit Bugzilla ran a couple tests for iOS 12 and the code had shown that the iPhone 5s passed the tests for iOS 12 compatibility. This is useful as it can help predict whether iOS devices can be compatible or not for future iOS versions. In addition, iOS 12 can have several new features. There could be dark mode, an always on display for iPhone X, more 3D Touch functions, and a notification indicator as tiny enough to fit in the notch. There would be a major redesign in Apple Music, the widgets, and the calendar app. iOS 12 can also have a Live Photo fit i
