iOS 13.0 is now available, but if you wait one more day, you can skip ahead to iOS 13.1, which adds back promised-but-missing features and fixes some early bugs. Do you have an older iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch with AppleCare+ coverage that’s about to expire? You can now extend that coverage indefinitely with a monthly payment. Early adopters have received their iPhone 11 models, but if you’re on the fence about buying one, we have a roundup of the reviews of Apple’s latest iPhones. Finally, as you hopefully know, macOS 10.15 Catalina will not support 32-bit Mac apps. Glenn Fleishman joins us to explain how you can keep those apps running with the virtualization app Parallels Desktop. Notable Mac app releases this week include Alfred 4.0.4, Fission 2.4.6, Twitterrific 5.4.2, Safari 13, and VMware Fusion.
Apple has shipped iOS 13.0, but given the number of bugs reported in early iPhone 11 reviews, you might want to wait for iOS 13.1, which Apple moved up to next Tuesday.
Do you have an aging iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch with AppleCare+ that you want to keep covered? You can now extend your AppleCare+ indefinitely, paying on a monthly basis.
The early reviews are in for the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max. Expect better cameras and improved battery life.
While macOS 10.15 Catalina won’t support old 32-bit apps, you can keep them running indefinitely on your Mac by installing a copy of 10.14 Mojave in a Parallels Desktop virtual machine.
