  • iOS 13 to feature multiple camera input for newer devices

    Among iOS 13’s nifty feature lineup, the forthcoming operating system will incorporate multiple camera input, allowing apps to capture photos and videos from multiple microphones and cameras on one device.

    Apple demoed this new feature at WWDC 2019, showing a picture-in-picture video recording app that recorded with both the rear and front cameras. The presenter was able to switch between the cameras at will during playback in the Photos app.

    Developers will also be able to control an iOS device’s TrueDepth cameras and use Rear Wide and Rear Telephoto lenses. These features, however, will be limited to newer devices, like the iPhone XS/XS Max, iPhone XR, and iPad Pro.

    Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.

  • Some Sprint users reporting connectivity issues with their iPhones following installation of iOS 12.1.3

    Following Tuesday’s release of the iOS 12.1.3 update, a number of users have reported a bug in which cellular data connection is either permanently disabled or extremely spotty following the initial installation and reboot of iOS 12.1.3.

    The same situation also happened following the release of iOS 12.1.3 on Christmas even, albeit the update was launched to fix a random cellular data killing bug.

    In this case, it doesn’t seem that a simple reboot fixes this bug. While some sites recommend a full-fledged Reset Network Settings route, it’s not a confirmed fix and you’ll be stuck reentering Wi-Fi passwords again, so unless you’ve really hit the wall, it’s recommended that you hold off on the update.
