If you’d planned on downgrading from iOS 7 to iOS 6 on your iPhone or iPad this week using the official restore method from Apple, you’ll be out of luck starting this week. This is because as of the start of this week, Apple has stopped “signing” old versions of restore points for the operating […]

Today several sources – and users across the USA – are reporting a bit of an annoyance in iOS 7 for their iPhones and iPads when working with apps that require log-in information. One of the most prevalent of these is Mailbox, the email app released earlier this year to iPhone and iPad for iOS […]
If you’re walking around New York City this afternoon, you may be handed a flyer by the NYC Police Department with a “Public Awareness Notice” for so-called “Apple users”.

You can expect three things every time a new iOS version comes along: fresh aesthetics, features and, by the looks of it, ways to bypass a locked screen. In iOS 7’s case, this is the second security flaw unearthed since it’s launched: An iPhone user named Karam Daoud recently discovered that you can dial any number on the Emergency call page from a locked homescreen. If you press the green phone button repeatedly after keying in a number, the screen turns black with an Apple logo, and the call goes through. We’ve tested it out on different devices, and while it doesn’t work all the time, the point is that it sometimes does. There’s no apparent way to disable Emergency calls, but Apple reportedly told Daoud it’ll issue a patch later. We’ve reached out to Cupertino for a statement, and we’ll inform you once we hear back.
Meanwhile, if you’ve been hearing about another supposed iOS 7 exploit that allows Siri to make calls, send text messages and post to social networks from a locked screen, don’t worry too much. It’s not actually a bug — just go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Allow access when locked, then switch Siri off. After you do that, no mischievous sibling should be able to post embarrassing status updates on your Facebook account. That is, unless you do it yourself after a night of drunken revelry.

As with all upgrades to a new operating system on the device you use most during the day, with iOS 7 there’s a set of features not all iPhone users are going to like. Lucky you, there’s a way to switch quite a few (if not nearly all) of the odds and ends back off, […]
Apple’s iOS 7 was release just the other day, prior to the official release of both the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. The highly-anticipated launch of Apple’s newest and most ambitious iOS update to date has been met with a lot of criticism, but we don’t think anyone hates it more than 4-year-old Jack Colling from Kansas.
