Taking a look at another week of Cupertino news and headlines, this week’s Apple Loop includes the biggest iPhone ever, iPhone SE weakness, how to block an iPhone with a message, more email vulnerabilities on iOS, FaceID Fits Facial Masks, Microsoft’s Multi-Window Support for iPad, and Magical Things MacOS Can’t Do.
Apple Loop is here to remind you of some of the many discussions that have taken place around Apple in the past seven days (and you can read my weekly summary of Android news here on Forbes).
The largest iPhone in history
the Latest leaked details about the Apple Watcher Jon Prosser iPhone 12 family, prove that the top line of iPhone 12 Pro Max will be priced at $ 1099 for the entry level model, and it will be the biggest iPhone … of all time.
“The final and most expensive model is the iPhone 12 Pro Max. This model, like all other iPhones, will use 5G and new processors. However, this model will use a larger 6.7 ”OLED display with three cameras and a LiDAR sensor at the rear. This will be the most expensive iPhone 12 model, and is expected to sell for around $ 1,099.
“This would be the largest iPhone in Apple’s history. The iPhone 11 Pro Max measures 6.5 “, making this iPhone approximately 0.2” larger. “

The weakness of the iPhone SE
Apple’s iPhone SE is performing better than expected, according to analysts. Delivery time has also skyrocketed, albeit with limited supply lines that may not be as reliable an indicator as in previous versions. However, the iPhone SE has also received critical acclaim and consumer love for powerful phones. Or is that it? I took a closer look at the issues with this brand earlier in the week, starting with memory:
Apple has put a lot of effort into the message that the iPhone SE has the same available power as the iPhone 11 due to the inclusion of the A13 processor.
… the iPhone SE ships with the A13 chip, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it will get the same performance from the SE compared to the 11. Apple has cut memory on phones, with SE owners looking for just 3GB. , compared to the 4 GB of the iPhone 11 family.

A message to lock your iPhone
Another text error has reached iOS 13. iPhone and iPad users who receive messages containing Sindhi characters can cause the device to crash or freeze, requiring DFU mode to be restarted. It is not the first time that malformed messages have caused problems.
“First reported last week, we now know that every iPhone running Apple’s latest iOS 13.4.1 software can crash, often completely locking the device and even forcing a restore through DFU mode, if you get a message Containing characters in the Sindhi language. Anyone can initiate the lock on someone else’s iPhone by simply sending a specific combination of these characters (excluded from this post for obvious reasons) to Message or Mail. iPads, Mac and even Apple Watch they may also be affected. “
There is already a fix in the latest beta version of iOS 13.5.4, which should be implemented for users next week. Learn more about the Sindhi text error here at Forbes.
Mail Warfare Word Vulnerability
Staying buggy and buggy on iOS, Apple has recognized the bug and has prepared a fix for the reported email app vulnerability this week. Apple claims that there is no immediate risk to the user, but ZecOps, who reported the problem, says the vulnerabilities are in nature. Gordon Kelly of Forbes reports:
“[ZecOps CEO Zuk Avraham:] “According to ZecOps data, there were some triggers for this vulnerability in some organizations. We want to thank Apple for working on a patch, and we look forward to updating our devices once it’s available. ZecOps will release more information and POC once a patch is available. “This additional information will be a fascinating read once iOS 13.4.5 is released. This story seems far from over.”

Do you have mask Get password
Apple’s FaceID has a little problem. In today’s weather, your iPhone will have a hard time recognizing it if you have a face mask. Fortunately, Apple software can recognize that “someone” is wearing a face mask. In the iOS 13.5 beta released this week, spotting that skin will take you directly to the passcode screen. Julie Clover reports:
“In iOS 13.5 beta, released this morning, Apple has simplified the speed with which the passcode appears when a person wearing a mask is detected, making it easier to access an iPhone with a passcode when the face identification.
“The quickest access to the access code interface is noticeable when you swipe up on the home screen when unlocking the iPhone, as this action now immediately displays the access code interface if your face is covered by a mask” .
More on MacRumors. Of course, there is a new iPhone that comes with the TouchID solution … the new iPhone SE. Apple may have moved forward with facial recognition, but that left Android makers to do all the innovation. IPhone 12 would have to scale a mountain, as I reported this week:
“Apple’s move to facial recognition meant that many of the innovations seen in fingerprint recognition were seen on Android devices. One of the main changes was moving the sensor away from the chassis (either a sensor on the back of the phone, built into the power button or embedded in the home button) and on the screen. First using optical imaging, and now using ultrasonic detection, the under-screen fingerprint sensor is expected on all Android flagships. “

Microsoft supports iPad Multi-Window for Word and PowerPoint
Support for multiple windows was introduced on the iPad last year, and many developers have been working on updates to their apps to use the feature. Microsoft has confirmed that key iOS apps, including Word and PowerPoint, are testing a multi-window version in a public beta version. Chance Miller reports:
“Microsoft now supports beta testing for multiple iPadOS windows in Word and PowerPoint for iPad. This allows you to open and work on two documents or presentations in parallel.
“At this time, Microsoft has not disclosed when it plans to make iPad multi-window support available to all users, but hopefully sooner rather than later.” For the moment, you can join
the public beta version of Microsoft Word through this TestFlight link and the
Microsoft PowerPoint beta through this link. “

And finally…
Sometimes it’s worth remembering that Apple’s shape isn’t the only one, and Apple’s shape can sometimes be uncomfortable and disturbing. Terence Eden has taken a look at macOS alongside Ubuntu, in the title titled “Things I can’t do on MacOS that I can do on Ubuntu”, starting with some font issues:
“Change the size of the system font: I find that the menu bar at the top is too small. The only way to do this on MacOS is to lower the resolution of the entire screen!
“Change the system font: I know you like Helvetica San Francisco, but it seems too thin to read. “
