Newly released court documents reveal just how much Apple apparently knew about the iPhone 6's and 6 Plus' propensity to bend. A report by Motherboard shows parts of the documents that were made public by US District Court Judge Lucy Koh (most of the documents remain sealed), and they say Apple's internal testing found that iPhone 6 and 6 Plus models were indeed bendier than previous iPhones.
Announced in an update to its official WWDC 2018 webpage on Tuesday, the livestream is slated begin at 10 a.m. on June 4. So far, the company has only confirmed web access to the stream, though other formats like Apple TV will likely be announced in the days leading up to the event.
While hackers have taken advantage of numerous vulnerabilities in Adobe's products to deliver payloads to Windows users via PDF files, a malicious PDF file can also wreak havoc on a Mac that's using the default Preview app. So think twice before double-clicking a PDF open on your MacBook — it might just be a Trojan with a rootkit inside.
Stop us if you've heard this one before: the rollout of IPv6 is going slower than expected.
In fact, nearly seven years after the eternally optimistic World IPv6 Launch launched, we are still only at just over a quarter availability of the new internet protocol.
But if that wasn't bad enough, the latest news is that even that unimpressive level of growth is slowing and may even been tailing off.
A new group of apps in China's App Store is facing scrutiny from Apple. According to a report from 9to5Mac, the iPhone maker is curtailing apps with CallKit framework due to a "newly enforced regulation" from the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Apple started sending notices to developers whose apps use the CallKit framework, notifying them that CallKit functionality isn't allowed in China due to the new regulations. Developers reportedly have two options: remove CallKit framework from their apps, or remove their apps from China's App Store entirely.
Apple posted a note to developers this week saying that, soon, all new app updates in the iOS App Store must support both the iPhone X's display—that is, the notch and the phone's unique screen dimensions—and the iOS 11 SDK. The company will begin enforcing this rule in July.

Manipulierte Smart-Home-Geräte mit Apple-Chip können den Schlüssel zum WLAN des Nutzers preisgeben, warnt ein Sicherheitsforscher. Es handle sich um ein grundlegendes Problem, das für Jahre bestehen werde – nicht nur bei Apple.
Even with all Apple's expertise and investment in cybersecurity, there are some security problems that are so intractable the tech titan will require a whole lot more time and money to come up with a fix. Such an issue has been uncovered by Don A. Bailey, founder of Lab Mouse Security, who described to Forbes a hack that, whilst not catastrophic, exploits iOS devices' trust in Internet of Things devices like connected toasters and TVs. And, as he describes the attack, it can turn Apple's own security chip on iPhones into a kind of "skeleton key."
Today, Apple released small software updates for iPhones, iPads, and Macs: iOS 11.3.1 for the mobile devices, and a security update to the already-released macOS 10.13.4 for Macs.
At just over 49 megabytes, iOS 11.3.1 is a minor update that fixes iPhone 8s for users whose touchscreens were rendered unresponsive by aftermarket replacement displays. iOS 11.3 caused iPhones that had been serviced by outside vendors to have this issue. Users expressed frustration that it seemed Apple was punishing them for not going through the company's own process for repairs.
