IOS 12 hints at adding FaceID to the iPad
good news; It seems that the iPad will also get this year the camera depth, the bump of the screen and the FaceID fingerprint, as Apple has added several gestures to the iOS 12 system with the iPad are the same as those in the iPhone X, such as swiping from the bottom to close the application and swiping from the top to open the Control Center. Which is strange and hints that Apple intends to remove the fingerprint also in the iPad and use the face print, so it added these gestures to the iPad. Which confirmed the rumors also noted that the watch is moved to the side of the screen and not the middle of the upper band. It looks like this middle will have something known as a bump.
Rumor: iPhone X + will have a triple camera
A Korean site released a report talking about sources inside Samsung and said that it intends to provide a triple camera in the S10 next year to catch up with competitors. The report indicated that Samsung officials want to catch up with competitors who will have triple camera phones before the release of the S10, which opened the door to the question of who the competitors are, as Samsung's S has no real competitor in Android except Huawei, which has already launched a triple camera phone, so the Korean report said that The main intention is Apple and it will release a version of the iPhone, which is the most expensive Plus version with a triple camera, while the X version will be dual and the LCD version will be mono.
Report: Apple will lower the price of the next iPhone
Although he left the analytical position at KGI Research Center, the famous technical analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, published new and happy predictions about the upcoming iPhone, where he said that sources confirmed to him that previous rumors about Apple's increase in the price of the iPhone after applying the X design to all devices are incorrect and that Apple, on the contrary, will lower prices. For example, the current iPhone X is sold at $ 1000, while the next generation of it will range from $ 800- $ 900. And he said that the other two versions, namely the LCD 6.1, will come at a price of 600-700 dollars, which is the same or less than the current 8 price, while the higher version X + will be in the 900-1000 price range, equal to or less than the current X price even though it is larger with a 6.5-inch screen And also more advanced. The statements and the expectation are very strange and illogical, especially since there is a global trend, which is to increase the prices of the upper class, and at these prices the iPhone is less than a competitive price in Samsung and Huawei.
Experience the free paid features coming to the software store
Apple has updated the store's list of guidelines, and among the new features is what Apple described as a feature to do for a specific time. That is, the developer can provide in-app purchases of $ 0.When buying it, a certain feature is activated, but for a time that the developer chooses, then this feature will be closed again. This update was previously exclusive to services with a subscription "such as newspapers and even Apple Music for 3 months free" but now it will be available in any application. And any developer who trusts that the user will like the paid part of his application can provide it to him for free for a period of his choice. You explain to Apple when this feature will be officially unveiled and available in the store, but mostly with the iPhone conference after 3 months.
Mac OS 10.14 will be the last system to support 32bit applications
Apple officially announced that the new Mac system 10.14, which it unveiled at the conference a few days ago, will be the last Mac system to allow the old 32Bit applications to run and made clear that it has taken this step to improve the performance of the device and get rid of old applications that have not happened for many years. And she said that she applied the same step in iOS 10, and it will also be applied in the watch, and it is time for her to arrive. And Apple called on developers to update their applications, as well as the user to search for alternative programs to the 32Bit that he uses, instead of suddenly stopping next year.

Dialog announced that Apple has sent it a request to reduce incoming requests by 30%. It is reported that Dialog is the company that Apple has relied on for years in the manufacture and production of power control chips, which is an electronic chip that Apple puts in its devices and its function is to manage the energy consumption of devices. Rumors have spoken that Apple is currently building its own factories that manufacture this chip, and here is Dialog itself confirming this news and that Apple wants to reduce the quantities it will buy for the upcoming devices and begin to rely on itself and its factories.
Now you can use Apple Maps with your location
Apple announced that now you can use Apple Maps and integrate them into your site. And Apple launched MapKit JS for maps so anyone can use them on their site. Currently, most of the Internet sites in the integrated map depend on Google Maps, but Apple wants to compete in this area. Apple said that its maps include many advantages, on top of which is the ability to add notes on the map to your site "annotations" and use navigation. It said it would allow 250 to create a map for free and 25 to call the service daily, free of charge for developers. An increase in this capacity can be requested, but it will be paid.
You can connect Apple Watch to Wi-Fi networks manually
The Apple Watch is known to get Internet and data from the iPhone when connected to it. But in the watchOS 5.0 system, which was revealed a few days ago, a new feature appeared, which is that in the absence of the iPhone near the watch, you can manually search for Wi-Fi networks in the place and connect the watch to it to continue getting notifications.
IOS 12 may allow more than one person to use FaceID
It is known that Apple considers the iPhone a personal device for one user, but sometimes some people add another person to use their device, such as often the wife. In the case of the fingerprint, we add an additional fingerprint and be its own, but with the arrival of the FaceID feature, Apple only allowed one person to register the shape of a person. But with iOS 12, I found a new feature, which is to add another alternative format for you. Apple says that you can add another way to show it to tell the iPhone about your appearance. But many users have indicated that it can be used to add another person. But they made it clear that Apple considers them one person, and you cannot delete a picture of one person and leave the other, but rather delete the two because for it, they are one person
Apple Adds FaceID Duplicate
In iOS 11, if the iPhone X fails to recognize your face, then here you have two options. The first is to use the secret password or lower the iPhone and then raise it again. A slight modification was discovered in iOS 12, which is to swipe up to the iPhone to retry facial recognition.
