If you were thinking of checking out iOS 12’s beta 7 release, you might want to take note that the beta has since been pulled. This is following reports from users who have been complaining about sluggish performance in the latest version of the beta, whereas previous beta releases seemed to be fine.
That being said, not all users are experiencing the problem. Apparently this issue seems to mostly affect users who are updating using the OTA update and not manually using the IPSW file. According to reports, the sluggish performance comes from the lock screen being unresponsive, and apps taking several seconds to launch, all of which are disconcerting for users.
Now obviously given that this is a beta, we suppose bugs and hiccups like these are to be expected and hopefully Apple will be able to iron it out ahead of iOS 12’s release, which if Apple keeps to schedule, should be set for a release in September alongside their new iPhones. Last year’s iOS 11 release ran into similar issues where users were reporting sluggish performance after its release.
Apple eventually got around to fixing it, but issues like this could hamper the adoption of future iOS builds which we have been hearing has been slowing down a bit compared to previous builds.

One of the new features that Apple announced in iOS 12 and macOS Mojave is Group FaceTime calls. In case the name wasn’t already obvious, basically this allows users to make FaceTime calls together in a group, whereas in the past it was limited to just one-on-one voice and video calls.
The feature was expected to launch alongside the release of iOS 12 and macOS Mojave later this fall, but unfortunately it seems to have been delayed. According to the latest developer release notes, Apple said, “Group FaceTime has been removed from the initial release of iOS 12 and will ship in a future software update later this fall.”
It should be noted that the release of iOS and macOS updates aren’t usually at the same time, so it possible that while it might not be shipped with the final release of iOS 12, it could be ready in time for macOS Mojave. Apple does not state the reason behind the delay but hopefully it won’t take longer than necessary.
Apple has in the past delayed features that were meant to be part of the iOS release, such as Portrait Mode for the iPhone 7 Plus, so this move isn’t completely unprecedented. Either way we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for more information about its release, so check back with us at a later date for more details.

Apple’s products have never been known to be cheap/affordable, and neither are their official accessories. This is why when we heard the rumors that the AirPower wireless charging mat could be priced at $200, we can’t say that we were surprised. However according to a new report from Chongdiantou (via Cult of Mac), it could be cheaper than that.
The report claims that Apple will charge $150 for the AirPower. This makes it $50 cheaper than the previously rumored price. However it also means that compared to the competition, it is also more expensive, but there could be a reason behind why it is more expensive. Apart from branding, it seems that the tech involved in the AirPower is slightly more sophisticated compared to the others.
Apparently for its design, Apple decided to equip the AirPower with 22 charging coils, and where each coil is isolated and tiled so that they don’t overlap, which also allows the entire mat’s surface to wirelessly charge devices placed on it. One coil is also said to be good enough to charge an Apple Watch.
The AirPower’s launch has been delayed from last year apparently due to overheating issues. However we have heard that the AirPower could be getting close to being ready as rumor has it that Apple might officially announce it alongside 2018’s iPhones which are rumored to take place in September.
