Whether to show someone your last score on that fun game on Apple TV, or to refer some tvOS advice to a friend, you can share screenshots from your TV.

In this article we'll explain how you can capture an image of your fourth-generation Apple TV.

Apple TV

The Apple TV 4 has a USB-C port that will allow you to connect the device to a Mac to run iTunes. Next we will use it to allow Xcode or QuickTime to facilitate our capture of images.

How to capture a fourth generation Apple TV screen

In case you are using a Mac in any of its variants, you will need a USB-A to USB-C cable. In Amazon there are some available for $ 11 so you will have no problem getting it.

1. Connect your Apple TV to your PC / Mac.

2. Sign up for the Apple Developer Center.

3. Download and install Xcode.

4. Start Xcode.

5. Open the "Window" option.

6. Select "Devices".

7. If all goes well, you will notice how the fourth generation Apple TV appears on the next screen. Click on it to access all the information besides showing the button "Take Screenshot".

Unfortunately Xcode will not offer you an image preview of the screenshot on your PC / Mac but you will hear the typical camera sound when performing the screenshot.

Alternatively, you can also use QuickTime. From File> New Video Recording and selecting the fourth generation Apple TV. QuickTime can be used for both video recording and audio recording.

In conclusion, taking a screenshot on the Apple TV is not so difficult if you follow these steps to the letter. However, the process is somewhat convoluted. Hopefully Apple will, in the near future, upgrade the tvOS software to allow users to take screenshots with a simple tap or tactile gesture of the Siri Remote.

At the beginning of February, a Facebook application was announced for the fourth generation Apple TV platform TVOS.

Well, finally is here, is now available for download on the Apple TV App Store. This is a video content app that will display all the news feed news and the pages in a row.

Although at the moment Apple Pay can not be used in Spain, it is not too far to know some applications that can facilitate its use for the future. This is PayFinder, an application that finds places that accept payments with Apple Pay, the mobile payments service of the American company.

The arrival of Apple Pay in the United States was a revolution in making payments, although its use has become increasingly common. However, most countries in the world still can not use it, among which is Spain.

PayFinder, an app to discover places compatible with Apple Pay.

Even so, Apple Pay still does not take off altogether, in large part because many users are unaware of which shops allow to make payments with this service and which not. But this has a solution thanks to PayFinder, an application that has just landed in the App Store.

PayFinder, a great help for those who want to use Apple Pay

Apple Pay can be used to make purchases online and in the app store, but also in numerous businesses that allow contactless payment. And this is what the PayFinder application focuses on.

PayFinder was developed by Brian Roemmele and it can find more than 12,000 businesses that are compatible with Apple Pay. It must be said that 95% of these businesses are small merchants, places where they usually make the usual purchases.

PayFinder, an app to discover places compatible with Apple Pay.

The operation of PayFinder is very simple, since it shows in a map all the businesses compatible with the service of mobile payments of Apple that are near your location. Compared to the days prior to launch, the application developer ensures that sales that have been paid through Apple Pay have increased up to 750%.

People are interested in using Apple Pay

Looking at this data and the great momentum that has had the use of Apple Pay after the launch of the PayFinder app there is no doubt that people really want to use the mobile payments service of the American company. However, they seem somewhat lazy or embarrassing when it comes to asking if the trade they go to allows these payments with Apple Pay or not.

And it should not be forgotten that although there are many businesses and banks compatible with Apple Pay, there are still many others who are not. In Spain in the meantime we will have to continue waiting, as we can not yet use Apple Pay.

Apple's mobile payment system is still not widespread in the world, but little by little the company is expanding its availability to different countries. According to the latest data this week Apple Pay will be available in China later this week and are expected to announce the arrival of mobile payment service to France before the end of the year.

A few months ago we also talked about the possibility of Apple Pay landing in Spain in late 2016. And according to a new report the mobile payment service would also be launched in France at that time, so you could say that this option sounds every Forcefully.

Apple Pay will be coming to China this week.

Apple Pay will be available in China from Thursday, February 18

Apparently, Apple Pay would start operating in China starting next Thursday at 5 am local time. On the other hand, since 9to5Mac indicate that the Chinese banks would be receiving with the arms open the launch of Apple Pay and even WeChat confirms its arrival for the next 18 of February.

Apple Pay will be coming to China this week.

The US company announced months ago the launch of Apple Pay in China for the beginning of 2016 and it seems that it will finally be like this. Apple Pay will come to the Asian country thanks to its collaboration with UnionPay, a state-owned entity with a monopoly of credit and debit card management, as well as the various deals it has reached with four of China's leading banks.

Apple's mobile payment service is having a great success, even Eddy Cue and Craig Federighi commented in an interview recently that Apple Pay processes every week "billions of dollars in mobile payments." Currently Apple Pay is only available in the United States

Apple's mobile payment service known as Apple Pay, will finally officially arrive in Spain tomorrow Thursday, December 1. Its arrival comes from the hand of Banco Santander, which will allow its customers to use Apple Pay to make payments through the iPhone and Apple Watch.

The US company has not confirmed anything officially, but several sources have confirmed to the companions of Applesfera that tomorrow will begin the journey of Apple Pay in Spain. And it will not be precisely until that moment in which it is already active when its availability is officially announced.

Apple Pay arrives in Spain.

It should be said that Banco Santander already offered the option of paying with its customers in the United Kingdom, which can use this mobile payment service from July 2015. Moreover, this bank was one of the first to offer it in Its implementation in this country, so it is not surprising that it is also in Spain, its country of origin.

Apple Pay finally arrives in Spain!

We must go to September 2014 to remember the time when Apple bite company officially introduced Apple Pay, a service that came during the presentation of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. However, the deployment of Apple Pay did not begin until a later time in the United States and has gradually extended to other countries, although its availability remains very limited two years later.

Apple Pay is available in these two models of the smartphone and in all later released, as well as in the Apple Watch. This mobile payment service can be used in establishments that accept payments through NFC, but can also be used to pay within apps using verification through the Touch ID and Apple recently announced its arrival to the web to pay in stores on-line.

Apple Pay arrives in Spain.

But we return to Spain, and is that Tim Cook himself announced a month ago that Apple Pay would arrive in Spain in the coming months and it seems that this arrival will occur sooner than we expected. As we said earlier, at first Banco Santander will be the first bank to offer Apple Pay in Spain, but surely other entities will soon join in allowing their customers to use Apple Pay to pay with the iPhone or Apple Watch.

How to Share Via Wallet Tickets with your iPhone

With the arrival of Apple Pay to Spain around the corner we have to discover the ins and outs behind the Apple Wallet application.

Maybe you've done it before, you bought tickets to go to the movies but you do not know how to share them with the rest of your friends and / or family.

Luckily sharing tickets through the Wallet application is simpler than it sounds. In this article we will tell you, step by step, how to do it.

Wallet

Sharing and sending tickets to your friends with the Wallet app

Apple allows users to store entries in their native Wallet application. In addition, it offers the possibility of sharing these entries with our contacts. Follow the steps below to do it.

1. Open the Wallet app.

2. Find the entrance for your friends.

3. Select the entry you want to share and click on the "i" icon in the lower right corner.

Wallet

4. Then tap the "Share Input" button.

5. Choose a method to share:

AirDrop
E-mail
IMessage
Wallet

The fastest method, usually, is usually AirDrop. This type of Bluetooth connectivity will find the iPhone (or iPad) devices closest to you so you can share the entries from the Apple Wallet app.

However, the method for sharing Wallet entries by email or iMessage is equally effective. It depends on the taste of each one.

As you may have guessed, this tutorial makes things easy for you when you share those football game tickets for your favorite team or movie tickets to see the latest Denzel Washington movie. Now it's up to you, you decide who to share with!

Having seen how we can configure Apple Pay on both the iPhone and the iPad. Today, we'll discover how we can turn our Apple Watch into our new digital portfolio.

And, despite the little publicity that has been made of this function in Spain (since the launch was not yet active), it is undoubtedly one of the most interesting features of the Apple watch. Because the clock, will always be with us, even when we want to go out to play sports without the phone.

How to set up Apple Pay on Apple Watch

Setting Up Apple Pay on Apple Watch

In this case, the configuration process is closer to the iPad than to the iPhone, since this is done in an app other than Wallet. To start the process, we need to access the Watch application, where we will find the Wallet and Apple Pay section in the My Clock tab.

As always, we try to explain the process taking into account that no card has been added before either iTunes or the iPhone in question (in these cases, the app itself will give us the option to copy the settings). Of course, it is still a requirement to have a credit or debit card from Banco Santander, Ticket Restaurant, or Carrefour.

Once we have entered the section of Wallet and Apple Pay, we will be given the option to Add a credit or debit card. To expedite the process, we can scan our card thanks to the camera, or we have the option to add the data manually.

Once the Full Name fields and the card number have been completed, the security code and the expiration date will be requested (according to the issuer). These data are always required to perform the process safely. In addition, after this, we will require a brief verification, which will vary according to the bank responsible for the card. Once verification is complete, our Apple Watch will be ready to use Apple Pay.

From now on, we will only have to double-click on the side button of our Apple Watch (the same one we used for the Dock, or to turn it off / on) and we will be shown a screen where we can choose the card that will be Used in payment. Of course, our Apple Watch must have activated code locking, and wrist detection, since they are of these security systems that Apple Pay is worth for its operation.

Apple Pay Settings on the iPhone


We already teach you to use Apple Pay on the iPad, today, we continue with the series of tutorials of this new service. But this time with the iPhone. In this case, all iPhone launched from iPhone 6 (included) are compatible with the system, so if we have a recent device, we can use it without problems.

Of course, again we must take into account the limitation of compatible banks, as today, only Banco Santander, Carrefour (with its Pass card), and Ticket Restaurant are prepared to use Apple Pay. Once we have verified that we meet the requirements, we start up.

To begin, we should go to the Wallet app, which will show a new section dedicated to Apple Pay. To begin the process, we will choose Add a credit or debit card. Once we have verified the password of the Apple ID, we will have to choose between scanning our card with the camera to collect the data automatically, or enter them manually.

Anyway, once we have completed the fields with our full name and our card number, we will be asked for the expiration date and the security code. After this we will have to follow a fast verification process, which will vary according to the issuer of the card. With this, we will finalize the configuration of Apple Pay on our iPhone.

Now, we will only have to bring our device to any POS with payment without contact, or make a purchase in any compatible app, and will automatically activate Apple Pay. We verified the purchase with Touch ID, and that's it, everything is ready to use in our day to day.

Apple's payment platform continues to function just as the company expects it to. Apple Pay provides the company with some really interesting revenue, receiving 0.15% of each transaction made by the system worldwide. If we consider that the service last year increased its volume of transactions by 500%, then we find a significant reason to continue developing Apple's commitment to mobile payments.

Therefore, the company is already working on implementing new functionalities for a payment method that works really well. And if at first the offensive of Apple Pay was directed to end with the payment with traditional card, and a little against the means of payment online like PayPal, now Apple will direct all his attention to attack the latter. To this end, it is studying the possibility of making payments between users of the service.

Apple Pay could integrate payments between users this year

Apple Pay in use on an iPhone

That is, Apple would plan to integrate into Apple Pay, among other features, a complete peer-to-peer transfer system that would compete directly with other alternatives such as PayPal, or Verse, among many other examples. This would be released in the October event of the iPhone, and could be called "Apple Cash" according to information provided by Recode. To launch this service, the company would have reached agreements with various US financial institutions.

One of the new features of this service would be to offer a prepaid card in association with Visa fully linked to the service account, so that we can use the money we receive in our account as soon as we receive it, both through Apple Pay , As with physical means. All this, to make iOS users continue to be interested in Apple's payment system, which really deserves the praise it has received throughout its nearly three years of activity.

Find out how to know which merchants accept Apple Pay

As we informed you, since last December, Apple users who own a card from Banco Santander, AMEX or Carrefour Pass can configure their iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch to pay with Apple Pay in Spain. If already in Spain we have two years of lag with respect to the launch of Apple Pay, to that must be added what it is costing to permeate in the shops and still few are those who have implemented this method of payment, something surprising given the Furor that are causing stickers, payment apps or virtual payment platforms in general.

It is not the first time that someone is going with a "revolutionary" payment system in the mobile and is with the unpleasant surprise that in that establishment is not yet accepted as payment method. So, to avoid annoyances, we'll show you a trick to know for sure if a trade supports Apple Pay as a payment method or not, using the native Apple Maps app.

Apple Pay arrives in Spain.

How to know which shops accept Apple Pay with Maps

The way to find out if an establishment allows to pay with Apple Pay is quite simple and fast.

1) First we will go to the Maps app, either on our iPhone, iPad or from a Mac.

2) Next, we will look for the name of the trade from which we want to know its availability of Apple Pay. Remember that by default Maps shows us the nearest shops, so if we are in Pamplona and look for the English Court for example, the most logical and normal is to show us the location if there was - there is - And not that of Madrid.

Apple Pay Shops

Also we have to take into account that Apple Pay in Spain has not yet been implemented in just establishments, so for our example we will have to look for a big trade like Carrefour, El corte ingles or our example: an Apple Store.

3) What is the secret of all this? That Apple is updating the information of its Maps as the establishments implement Apple Pay as payment method. Click on the icon of the trade or about the i, which will return the information relating to the trade itself: your name, address and contact details, schedule and comments, we will find if you support Apple Pay as payment.

With very few touches on iOS 10.

Recently, a large number of users have been affected by a strange and mysterious bug related to iCloud backups in iOS 10.3.

This bug causes iOS 10.3 users to not be able to save their backups to services in the iCloud cloud due to "lack of storage space" when, in fact, there is enough space.

In fact, Apple has contacted via email with users who have had this error. So the company should be looking for a solution to the problem.

The error of iCloud backups might be related to Photos and Mail

After the installation of iOS 10.3 on iPhone, iPad and / or iPod Touch the users affected by this bug saw a strange error appear, both in the new iCloud section of Settings and in the Center of Notifications:

ICloud Bug

ICloud Bug

As you will see in the screenshot, iCloud detects that there is no storage space for a backup on the cloud services platform. When in reality, and as you can see below, there is more than enough space:

ICloud Bug

Apple forums reported such problems with the release of the first two beta versions of iOS 10.3. It seems that some users have corrections worked, but others have not.

In addition, on Twitter have reported all kinds of problems with iCloud after the arrival of iOS 10.3 to iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch:

 Follow
 Riccardo @ricdallaglio
@AppleSupport it seems that the latest iOS 10.3 / 10.3.1 has broken iCloud sync. When I edit from the web / MacBook, nothing is synced on iOS.
00:06 - 5 Apr 2017
  Retweets I like
Interestingly, the state of the iCloud system seems to be in order. In the email that Apple sent to the users affected by the bug, it is recommended to "verify the iCloud settings", but a concrete solution is not proposed.

On the other hand, it seems that many other users have been automatically activated certain iCloud services in iOS 10.3 when they had always been disabled.

This is Apple's recommendation to the problem

Here is the text that Apple has emailed to users affected by the error of iCloud backups:

"We have discovered a flaw in the latest iOS 10.3 software update, which has affected a small number of iCloud users. This defect may have inadvertently reactivated some iCloud services that you may have disabled on your device.

We recommend that you verify the iCloud settings on your iOS device to make sure that only the services you want to use are turned on.

Learn more about iCloud settings or contact AppleCare if you have questions.

Sincerely, The iCloud Team "

ICloud Logo

This week the company released iOS 10.3.1 to fix a vulnerability detected in Wi-Fi networks. So it would not be surprising that Apple will soon introduce iOS 10.3.2 to stabilize the iCloud backup bug.

If you have experienced this problem with iCloud backups on your iPhone or iPad, we recommend you go to your Settings section, disable all services in the cloud (Photos, Safari, Notes ...), restart the device and return to Activate them later. Additionally, we also recommend saving your iOS backups via iTunes on your PC / Mac, at least for the time being.

It seems that this little tip temporarily solves the problem. Be that as it may, we will keep you informed of all the new developments regarding iCloud and iOS 10.3. Has this problem occurred with iCloud? Do you think it could be related to the new APFS file management system? Or possibly have some kind of connection with Turkish iCloud hackers?

A couple of days ago, and immediately after the official launch of iOS 10.3, Apple introduced the first beta of iOS 10.3.2 for developers. Today, the company has done the same with the public beta.

The Apple Beta Software Program is dedicated for users to participate completely free of charge in order to report errors and system failures of the trial versions of iOS, macOS, tvOS and watchOS.

IOS 10.3.2 beta

Once Apple has fixed all the bugs and improved the stability of the system in iOS 10.3.2 thanks to the reports of users of the Beta Software Program, the company will release this new version of iOS officially.

What's new for iOS 10.3.2?

The beta version of iOS 10.3.2 suggests that the mobile operating system will present bug fixes, stability enhancements and additional security layers. Although we do not rule out the possibility that Apple implement some surprise.

The launch of iOS 10.3 for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch featured Search My AirPods functionality, the new APFS file management system, CarPlay enhancements, a Widget for Podcasts and more.

IOS 10

However, iOS 10.3.2 will provide iPhone and iPad users with a minor update. At the moment, we have not noticed drastic changes in the mobile operating system of the apple bite company, but we will be attentive to any news to keep you informed.

In the meantime, if you have not yet installed iOS 10.3, we present you a video of 9to5mac in which you can appreciate all the changes, features, features and new features of that version:



How to download the public beta of iOS 10.3.2 on iPhone and iPad

If you are thinking of trying the public beta of iOS 10.3.2, all you need to do is to be registered in the Apple Beta Software Program. It's free, and you can participate reporting the errors of other platforms like macOS.

This Monday saw the last update of iOS for iPhone and iPad, we talk of course iOS 10.3, although just 48 hours after Cupertino was working with the beta for developers iOS 10.3.2.

The truth is that unlike previous updates, with iOS 10.3 most publishers have not given a reasonable time to test and we have updated to the latest version, and is that iOS 10.3 seems that in addition to our iPhone and iPad seem Go faster, we have freed up enough space on our devices and in addition, it is the safest update to date of the most stable and fluid operating system on the market, Apple of course.

IOS 10.3 is the safest update ever

Here's the reason why confirming that moving to iOS 10.3 is a good decision from a security point of view of our devices.

 The APFS file system

IOS 10.3 update

The APFS or Apple File System ensures incorporates significant improvements in the file system in a generalized way. Among them, it will be optimized to be used in Flash or SSD memory, allows cloning of files and directories, captures, quick resizing of directories and of course, is much safer when implementing stronger encryption and incorporates copy-on-write metadata .

Blocking Javascript windows in Safari

IOS 10.3 update

With iOS 10.3, the blocks, threats, popups and scams that appear while browsing Safari are reduced to the maximum, since Apple has gotten the JavaScript that allowed it. Pop-up will no longer appear in iOS 10.3 anymore by changing the way these windows interact with Safari, since they will now work by tab or window and will never affect the entire app, allowing normal browsing in other windows.

 Double Factor Authentication

IOS 10.3 Authentication

This security feature allows users to improve their protection against any hacker attack to iCloud, since it requires verification of the identity of each user. But it is no longer a recommendation as it once was, but the company urges users to turn on dual-factor authentication via notifications and in the new Apple ID Settings section.

Double-factor authentication in iOS 10.3 requires users to enter the usual password and an additional security code on all devices when they first log on.

Find My AirPods

IOS 10.3 update

And this does not have to do with our iPhone and iPad directly, but of course if we have a pair of AirPods, the first security measure we will have is not to lose them or to steal them, especially knowing the price to replace a handset. The operation of Search for my AirPods is very similar to that developed with Search my

Buying an iPhone, an iPad or an iPod Touch means accessing one of the most secure software in the world. Although we are also facing one of the most closed operating systems on the market.

Be that as it may, it has always been said that iOS security is way above security on Android and other mobile operating systems. When it comes to protecting the privacy of users, Apple and its iOS are unreachable.

IOS 10

If there is one thing known to Apple is to fortify your devices against any attack, even if it costs you to leave behind some other function.

However, the fact that iOS is such a tight and secure operating system does not prevent your iPhone and / or iPad from being hacked ...

In this article we will take a walk through the most outstanding security features of iOS 10 and will mention some tips to make your device a little more secure.

Data Encryption

IOS 10

At the epicenter of device security with iOS 10 is data encryption. A feature that will protect your private data from falling into unwanted hands.

Apple provides three different ways to encrypt iOS 10 data: password, PIN code and Touch ID. With iOS 10.3.1 Apple introduced two-factor authentication, a feature designed to protect the device against any hacking attack.

Anti-Malware

IOS 10

The iPhone and iPad, despite the rumors, are NOT immune to malware. They are as vulnerable as any other Android device. Well, maybe not so much. But iOS 10 comes with anti-malware security layers and constant updates reduce the risk of malware infection in vulnerabilities.

Search for my iPhone

Search for my iPhone iOS 10

The Search My iPhone feature has been present on Apple devices since 2009. This feature uses iCloud cloud services to remotely access your stolen or lost iPhone, thus allowing users to locate the terminal on a map.

These have been the three most interesting features related to the security of iOS 10. No doubt, one of the best protected mobile operating systems in the world. What do you think about the security of iOS 10? Do you think it has many vulnerabilities?

Just like you have 16GB 32GB than 128GB on your iPhone, in the end probably what will occupy you most are going to be the photos and videos. Although iOS is quite well organized both by albums that come by default and by using chronological order in Moments, the reality is that when you treasure more than two thousand photos, searching for a particular one is difficult in any way.

And is that every time we make a photograph, it is stored on the reel and we can also access it through Momentos, being classified according to the date it was taken. In iOS 10 the folders that are added by default in Photos are: Favorites, People, Places, Videos, Autofotos, Live Photos, Panoramas, Bursts, Captures, Portraits - if you have iPhone 7 Plus - and Deleted ... if you do not see any of those Folders, it will be because for example you have not made a photo that iOS 10 classifies as such. Even so, remember that you can create your own albums.

But with all this, when you have a huge amount of photos, you will continue to find it difficult to find her. That's why Apple has implemented a useful smart search function. Following the intelligence that you use to identify photos of people or places, in iOS 10 you can search for a word in the purest style tag or "tag" and your device will give you all the possible options.

But let's see how it works. Suppose for example we look for the word "sea" to find a beautiful sunset over the Bay of Biscay. At that moment, the app returns the photos in which it estimates that something related to the "sea" appears: photos in which the sea appears, the selfies with our friend Mar, a folder titled "Holidays at sea" . In this way, the search is much faster, easier and more effective.

The latest iOS 10 bug blocks your iPhone by using the Control Center

IOS is the most stable and fluid operating system on the market, and of course it is much more secure than Android, but even so, it does not get rid of the occasional bugs that cause the lock or restart of our terminal. Although iOS 10 is probably the best update to date, have just discovered a new bug that although it does not produce serious failures in your terminal, if that will cause the lock and restart. Want to know how it affects your iPhone and where to find it?

The first website to report it has been the Italian website AmiciApple, according to which this bug appears in the most recent versions of iOS, iOS 10.3.2 beta and originates through the Control Center. However, the ruling is not going to increase and Apple has not even made it public yet.

Specifically, the bug originates when accessing the Control Center and simultaneously select an option from the lower - alarm clock, calculator or camera - and also Night Shift and AirDrop. That is, you have to use three fingers to activate all three options at once several times for the bug to occur. Something far-fetched, but there is no such thing as daily use for these bugs to appear when you least expect it.

IOS 10 bug

When it occurs, your terminal will freeze for a few seconds and reboot. Then everything will return to normal. In some cases, the device remains frozen and it will be necessary to force the reboot ourselves.

The web itself has uploaded a video so we can see how this bug works. Actually, it's unlikely to happen, but it's always good to know.

We insist, this is an unimportant failure that probably Apple will remedy in future updates, but it is always curious to know what bugs we are exposed.

You can now download the fourth beta for developers of iOS 10.3.2

It's been a few weeks since we received the latest iOS public update. This was a small revision, iOS 10.3.1, dedicated to solve certain problems that could be serious for users. And is that it is normal that after a major update as can be iOS 10.3, soon find small errors that, if not resolved soon, could lead to something more dangerous to our security.

This is especially relevant because of the changes that have been implemented in ** iOS 10.3 **. The last major update of iOS 10, has brought to the compatible devices a series of completely new functions, such as "Search for my AirPods"; But the change that really sets the difference with the rest of the updates, is the jump from the file system to APFS, the new format of Apple products.

Already four betas for a minor update, how much is left for your exit?

Beta developers iOS 10-3

Those modifications that have been suffered in iOS 10.3 have gone really unnoticed despite what they suppose for our devices. But that does not mean that the errors stop appearing, in fact, Apple is more attentive than ever to hunt down any errors that may have appeared. This is why so much importance to a minor update as iOS 10.3.2.

And if an upgrade is important to Apple, so is the developer. This is why they can download the latest public compilation on their registered devices, just like the members of the iOS beta program, although the latter will do so later. For other users, we can only wait, since it should not take much longer to reach our terminals.

Are you a developer? Have you noticed any major changes in the latest versions of iOS?

Hopefully you do not have to remember this post ever, because that will mean that your beloved iPhone is still at your side. If it is not so and like me a few weeks ago, a lover of other people and good technology has appropriated your iPhone, these are the steps that you will have to follow.

First of all, go to the police

It's a no-brainer, but do not be a hero and go to the police station. It details everything you know about both the thief and of course your device: color, model, storage but above all your IMEI - so that we understand each other, the DNI of the mobiles. Where can you find it? In several places: in the box that comes when you buy it, on the back of the iPhone, in Settings> General> Information, the purchase invoice and in many cases, the web of your mobile operator.

With the IMEI, if your iPhone is found, the police will identify it and return it.

Call your operator

Although in the complaint you should say where and when your iPhone was stolen as accurately as possible, you have to call your phone company to block the line, so that the thief or another person can make calls with your iPhone, send Messages or spend your megabytes.

Find my iPhone can be your savior

Apple has a tool to use in these cases that you should have active in all your apple bite devices. And is that with Search my iPhone you can lock the device, know its location, activate the lost mode and delete its content.

Open Search for my iPhone and select your iPhone to see its location on the map. If the terminal is close, you can even make it sound to find it. Eye, and I say this from experience, if the iPhone is off will not appear its location, much like its last available location.

Of course, you must activate the Lost mode. This way, you can lock your iPhone remotely with a code, display a personalized message with your phone number on the screen of the lost device and know its location. If you had credit or debit cards at Apple Pay, the payment authorization is suspended. In short, your iPhone becomes a nice brick.

Another option in Search my iPhone is the ability to delete the contents of the device remotely. This way you prevent a person outside of you from accessing your personal information, emails, messages, files, apps, photographs, etc. Because you erase everything directly. Of course, deleting the contents of the device, it is as if it were factory restored, so that not contain your iCloud account and your Apple ID, you will not be able to track it anymore. That is, other people will be able to use it.

 ... but Finding my iPhone has a weak point

Without a doubt, Find my iPhone is a very useful and powerful tool for situations where you have lost or stolen your iPhone. But it's far from perfect. And is that if as happened to me, your thief turns off your device, you will not know where the lost mode will be activated nor will you be able to erase it. The execution of all these measures will occur as soon as you turn it on.

ICloud

What happens if I find my iPhone?

If you are one of those fortunate people who can locate your iPhone or just returned it and activated the Lost mode, simply enter the code that you chose when activated. Otherwise, you can disable it from the iCloud.com website or from the Find my iPhone tool on another device.

What if I did not have Search for my iPhone activated?

Obviously, if you did not activate Search my iPhone, you will not be able to locate it, delete it or activate the lost mode remotely. But quietly, there are other steps you should take to protect your data, such as changing the password of your Apple ID from another Apple device or from the Apple website. This will prevent anyone from accessing your iCloud data, downloading apps, or using other services such as iMessage or iTunes from the lost device.

Touch ID iPhone Security

Also, you should change the passwords of all the accounts you had inside the device, such as email, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram ...

Above all and for upcoming Apple devices you acquire, learn the lesson: it is vital that you activate Search my iPhone or iPad or Mac or Apple Watch

An iPhone user uses apps an average of 2h 15min a day

Data shared by App Annie shows how iPhone users spend an average of 2 hours and 15 minutes a day on apps. The average indicates that each person has between 60 and 90 applications installed on their iPhone.

However, we do not usually use all iPhone apps. Of those 60-90 apps, we only use 30 of them a month, and 9 of them a day.

"The utilities and tools are the leaders thanks to pre-installed applications such as Safari on iOS and Google on Android. After the pre-installed applications, some of the most used categories are Social Networks, Communication and Social. "

The time spent using applications varies dramatically depending on the type of application.

"The applications of analytics and productivity saw the most repeated sessions of half a day, specifically 4 sessions a day. Finance and productivity users spent less than a minute per session in these categories. "

Interestingly, iPhone users play 30% less games than Android users. Currently, iOS apps generate far more benefits than Android apps even though iPhone users are less globally.

Apple has offered alternative pricing options in the App Store to European countries and an increase in prices. This will make things change with respect to Android.

Apps

A February report said the iPhone user in the United States spent an average of $ 40 on apps during 2016, downloading 33 new apps.

There is no doubt that this is quite interesting statistics. The data that has impacted me most is that we have installed on the iPhone between 20 and 40 applications that we do not open once a month.

In my case, I usually use a lot of applications a day, but I do on the iPad leaving the iPhone for things more punctual. How about you? How many applications do you use per day? How much time do you spend using your iPhone?

Your iPhone would never support what Android users tolerate

Guess what, that's exactly what life is for Android users. Everyday bread, go. Android 7.0 was released a year ago and Android O, the future version, has been available as a beta for over a month. Even so, most smartphones have earlier versions like Android Marshmallow or Lollipop.

Most Android smartphones suffer from lag, errors and poor performance

Did you know that Android N was only installed on 5% of devices recently?

The commercialization of the LG G6, the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8 + has helped the Android N adoption rate grow slightly, up to 7.1%, but the statistics are still quite sad in relation to iOS.

Android and iOS

Yes, it is true that there are thousands and billions of Android smartphones around the world, but most users use older versions of the operating system. This implies common errors, system slowdown, performance limitation, outdated security and a visually very poor user interface.



So much so, we have even posted video tutorials on YouTube explaining how to remove the lag from Android devices ...



Now: Could you imagine that 92.9% of iPhone users did not have access to the new features on iOS 9 and iOS 10?

The problem of fragmentation in Android is still as harmful as it was in its origins. The big difference is that now Android users have to pay much more money than they paid at the time for a smartphone that supports updated versions of the operating system, while a user of iPhone SE (399 €), for example, will run the Latest version of iOS for over 5 years.

Of course, to be fair, not all features of iOS 10 are available on all iPhone models. For example, the 3D Touch function is exclusive for iPhone 6s and later models. The same goes for iPad multitasking. However, this is something related to the hardware and not to the software of each terminal.

After hundreds of rumors, to those who have us accustomed in the network, the iPhone 7 and its older brother the iPhone 7 Plus have come with certain new features that we would like to expose in the next few lines.

This new iPhone either likes for its continuity or hates itself for the same, but its evolution is clear on a hardware level. Both iPhone land to declare war on the whole Android landscape and what pops up from Windows Phone.

Apple has unveiled brand-new flagship cars at the San Francisco Civic Center Bill Graham. Both the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus carry in their entrails the new processor A10 Fusion of 16nm, owned by Apple, along with another coprocessor of movement called M10. The A10 Fusion has 4 cores at 2.4 GHz, the most powerful in the mobile market.

On the other hand, both devices have double front speaker, or at least that's what Apple announced. In fact, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have a single real speaker and use the top handset to balance the sound and get a certain stereo effect.

As a feature of the compelling iPhone 7, both devices come with the latest operating system of the Californians in their final version, iOS 10, having already gone through 8 beta versions for developers throughout 2016. It is available for download for all World since 13 September.

Screen Specifications for iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus

Both iPhone 7 have not varied much in their design, except for the particular antenna bands that are now featured more marked in the back area and the edge. They remain two of the thinnest phones (7.1mm the iPhone 7 and 7.3mm the iPhone 7 Plus) and higher quality construction at the moment, with a robustness that can not get the most top of the range in other systems. In addition, now the iPhone 7 has thinned to 138 grams.

The small version lands like the iPhone 6s, with a screen of 4.7 inches and a resolution of Full HD, 1334 × 750 pixels (326 PPP). Instead, the iPhone 7 Plus continues with a screen of 5.5 inches and resolution 1920 × 1080 pixels (401 PPP). Both with Retina HD technology that, according to Apple, improves in 25% the brightness and the amount of colors.

To great novelty is the questioned resistance to water in both devices with the IP67 protection protocol. This would allow users to use their iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus under rain but little else. We will not be able to dive with him, as with the Apple Watch 2.

Both the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus come with 3 storage versions (32, 128 and 256 GB) contrary to what Apple has done all its history, would leave the 16 GB base that put in the previous generation. This doubles the capacity of the previous generation in each model.

As we have become accustomed to Apple, the new iPhone does not have physical memory expansion slot. In particular, in virtual memory we will have 2 GB of RAM the iPhone 7 and 3 GB of RAM for the iPhone 7 Plus. We would have expected the vitaminized brother to jump to the 3GB of RAM, but it has not.

Specifications of the best cameras in the mobile market, iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus

In the main cameras of both iPhone comes great difference and innovation. The iPhone 7 model comes with a 12MP camera, very similar to the iPhone SE and iPhone 6s, but with a larger size in the pixels that will make it able to capture 50% more light, thanks to its f / 1.8 . In addition, the camera's new Quad-LED True Tone allows the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus to take snapshots with better light conditions in any situation.

As a feature of the iPhone 7, the Plus model comes with a 12 MP dual-lens camera manufactured by Primax that lets you take pictures with higher resolution and 3D effects. And accompanied to the new camera chip, we can capture in RAW format, with the editing possibilities that this entails.

Both cameras can record in 4K resolution at 30FPS, 1080p at 120FPS and 720p at 240FPS. While recording at 4K, we can take 8MP photos. Another surprising feature is the realization of panoramic images of up to 63MP, as already happened with the iPhone SE.

The second main camera of the iPhone 7 Plus, is smaller in size, smaller aperture, with f / 2.8 and a focal length of 56mm. Call telephoto, this lens will be in charge of focusing on other areas that the best quality camera does not. It will be possible to take photographs at different levels of depth, with which we will later retouch to our liking every distance we have captured.

Time comes the most characteristic of the new iPhone 7. As it has been filtering for months and months, Apple has chosen to eliminate the Jack 3.5 mm connection of their iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, which forces us to use Bluetooth AirPods headsets or New arrivals

Cydia tweaks

Download Cydia on iOS devices

You do not know what Cydia is?

One of the main complaints of many iOS device users is the lack of flexibility in customizing the device. Apple does not allow applications for iPhone, iPod touch or iPad that allow to modify the appearance of the device in its application store, the App Store.

Thanks to these limitations, Apple has made iOS a tremendously stable and very high performance platform, but many users prefer to sacrifice some of these features in order to personalize their device or add interesting features that Apple does not officially allow.

Cydia iOS 9

The usual way to get these customizations is Cydia, the largest third-party software installer available on the iOS platform. Since its inception, the app has been presented as a software provider to modify iOS, as these types of applications are not available in the App Store and Apple does not officially allow them. The intent of this tool is not to offer pirated software to users, but applications created by developers who offer them free of charge through the installed or prepaid, but never intended to offer modified third-party applications so they can be downloaded without paying by them. That is PIRACY.

The origins of Cydia

Cydia Tweaks Cydia is really just a dpkg package manager for iOS that uses a graphical interface. It was originally released as an open source alternative to Installer.app on iOS 1.1x, but soon became the most popular pack gesture and currently continues to hold that honor.

The name Cydia comes from the name of the common apple-eating worm, Cydia pomonella, referring to the fact that it is an application that gets into Apple devices and "exploits" them to reach their full potential.

At first Cydia only served for developers to offer their software completely free, software that was generally rejected from the Apple App Store for some reason. Since 2009 there is also the possibility of selling applications through this store, thanks to its developer decided to create a store similar to the Apple App Store. Users can purchase applications and associate them with an ID (in this case a Gmail or Facebook account) and pay through PayPal or Amazon Payments, a very convenient and again similar to the method used by Apple in their stores, although instead Use other methods.

How to install Cydia on iPhone or iPad?

Cydia is compatible with most iOS devices (except AppleTV), but in order to perform the installation it is necessary to perform the Jailbreak process, so it all depends on what the Jailbreak community has achieved at the moment we want to install it. At times it's possible that the app may only be available on older iOS devices or versions.

To be aware of when it is possible to apply a Jailbreak to a device, we recommend that you keep abreast of our Jailbreak category, since we always comment on the latest developments in the community and publish guides explaining how to perform Jailbreak to different devices.
