Apple releases iOS 11.3 with new Animojis

Apple just released an iOS update for your iPhone and iPad. 11.3 introduces a ton of bug fixes but also a bunch of new features. If you forgot about Animjois, today is your lucky day as Apple is adding four new Animojis — a dragon, a bear, a lion and a skull.

But that’s not all. Apple already shared a preview of iOS 11.3 a couple of months ago. There’s a big ARKit update to ARKit 1.5. It can recognize more objects and surfaces.

And iOS 11.3 is also the battery update we’ve all been waiting for. There’s some new info in the settings about the status of your battery. It tells you the overall capacity and if it’s time to change your battery.

You can also choose to disable Apple’s controversial decision to throttle performance with old batteries. Apple says it’s a beta feature for now.

Apple is also introducing a new feature in the Health app. You can now centralize all your health records in the app. It’s only limited to a handful of clinics for now.

Apple is adding customer support conversations to Messages. You can initiate a conversation with a business to order something, book a table and more. Discover, Hilton, Lowe’s and Wells Fargo are already on board. Health Records and Business Chats are only available in the U.S. as a beta for now.

You’ll also see a new privacy icon across the operating system. A new website to export all your data is coming in May as well. Apple needs to add those features to comply with GDPR.

Finally, Apple Music is getting a new video clips section, the App Store Updates tab now shows you the size of each update and more tiny little things. And if you care about security, it’s always a good thing to update to the latest version of iOS. Unfortunately, iOS 11.3 still doesn’t include iMessage in iCloud.

Back up your iPhone or iPad to iCloud or your computer using iTunes before updating. You can then head over to the Settings app, then ‘General’, then ‘Software Update’. macOS, watchOS and tvOS updates are also available today.

OnePlus CEO Deletes OnePlus 6 Notch Appreciation Tweet


After countless rumors that the upcoming OnePlus flagship is going to feature a display notch, the company officially confirmed yesterday that the OnePlus 6 will indeed have a notch as it’s going to adopt this design language to maximize the screen real estate. OnePlus CEO Carl Pei tweeted a part of the official render which confirmed the notch and said that users should “learn to love the notch.” There has been an outcry from fans about this decision and Pei has since deleted that tweet.

Many of the company’s fans did not want it to adopt the notch even though Pei talked it up considerably in his interview yesterday which confirmed that this design choice has been made for the OnePlus 6.

Those fans have been vocal about their dislike for the notch and they now appear to be disappointed in the company because it has gone against their wishes. Perhaps that’s the reason why Pei decided to delete the tweet. You won’t find any mention of a notch on his Twitter timeline anymore. That interview is still there, though.

Unless the company takes the drastic measure of ditching the notch in response to the outcry from fans at this stage which will most likely delay its launch timeline, all signs point to a notch on the OnePlus 6’s display, regardless of whether the fans like it or not.
