Troy Wolverton, provided by Published 4:10 pm PST, Monday, January 7, 2019 Getty Apple has a big — and misleading — ad on display in Las Vegas during this year's CES convention. The ad states, "What happens on your iPhone, stays on your iPhone." The ad is literally untrue; much of what users do on their iPhones and the data they generate doesn't stay on their devices. IPhones leak data to wireless carriers, websites, app developers — and to Apple's own servers and services. Apple benefits directly and indirectly from the information that can be gleaned off of users' iPhones. Give me a break, Apple. That's a cute ad you have in Las Vegas for the CES tech convention. "What happens on your iPhone, stays on your iPhone" is both a good dig at your rivals and a clever restating of Sin City's popular catch phrase. But it's literally a lie. What happens on customers' iPhones doesn't stay on them — and you know it.

How to use Notification Center on iPhone and iPad
So, you just got a buzz or a ping on your iPhone, but when you grab it to see what the noise was all about, it just disappears from your lock screen because that dang Touch ID now works so lightning fast that you can't read it before you unlock your screen. Not to worry. Notification Center is always there, whether your screen is asleep or awake and whether your iPhone is locked or unlocked. Here's how to use it. How to access Lock screen notifications on your iPhone and iPad The Lock screen is the screen you see when you first wake up your iPhone, whether it's by pressing the Sleep/Wake button or by lifting your iPhone to wake it up.

You have complete control over what apps send you notifications. You can disable them entirely, select … [Read more...] about How to use Notification Center on iPhone and iPad
Easy way to bypass passcode lock screens on iPhones, iPads running iOS 12
Update for iOS 12With iOS 12 and iPhones that have Touch ID, you can still bypass the iPhone lock screen and trick Siri into getting into a person's phone. The bypass is the same as it was in earlier versions of the operating system: Press the home button using a finger not associated with your fingerprint authentication, prompting Siri to wake up. Say to Siri: Cellular data. Siri then opens the cellular data settings where you can turn off cellular data.As was the case before, anyone can do this. It doesn't have to be the person who "trained" Siri.By also turning off cellular, you cut off Siri’s access to cellular networks. You will get an error saying, “Siri not available. You are not connected to the internet.” But you don’t care about that error because you have already bypassed the iPhone lock screen. If the device is on a Wi-Fi network, however, that connectivity will remain.Other privacy holes remain for Touch ID devices running iOS 12Still an issue for … [Read more...] about Easy way to bypass passcode lock screens on iPhones, iPads running iOS 12
How to customize your Lock screen on iPhone and iPad
Lock screen serves two contradictory purposes: It provides fast, convenient access to a ton of features like the camera, Siri, Control Center, and more, and it also prevents unauthorized access to the private contents of your iPhone or iPad. You can absolutely swap your wallpaper to make it your own, but you can also disable many of the conveniences if you'd prefer your Lock screen to be on lockdown. Here's how to customize your lock screen! How to change the wallpaper on your Lock screen Your iPhone or iPad comes with Apple's default wallpaper on the Lock screen, but you can change it to another image from Apple's gallery, one of a few motion wallpapers, or even a Live Photo that animates when you 3D Touch it (if your iPhone or iPad supports it). Launch Settings from the Home screen. Tap on Wallpaper. Tap on Choose a New Wallpaper. Tap on the location of the new wallpaper you want to choose: Dynamic: Circles that float around the screen and respond to the motion of your device. … [Read more...] about How to customize your Lock screen on iPhone and iPad
