Get ready for a trio of awesome Gen 4 goodness.

You see that image up there? That’s all the information we got from Niantic this evening via Twitter. Fortunately, those silhouettes are all you need to figure out what the cryptic message about new Pokémon headed to Go is all about. The tweet reads:

Hmm. We’ve been hearing reports of unidentified Pokémon. As Professor Willow looks into these reports, please let us know if you spot anything out of the ordinary in #PokemonGO.

We know the Pokémon being referenced here are the Lake Guardian Trio, super powerful beings that were missing from the initial rollout of Gen 4. Their names are Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit, and if you’ve played any of the games or seen any of the shows during the initial Gen 4 rollout you know these can be a lot of fun to play with.

It’s not clear right now how these new Pokémon will be rolled out, either through top tier rad battles or special research, but it’s not likely to be par…

Handle and stand in one.

Speck’s GrabTab is a slim grip accessory that rests neatly on the back of your phone and gives you a secure hold. It works on any device of any size. My wife has a similar device, but it’s not a GrabTab, and the problem is her version is so thick the phone has a hard time with wireless charging. Speck’s GrabTab isn’t like that. The tab slides down and forms just a thin piece that’s only 3mm thick on the back of your phone’s case when it’s not in use so you can still easily place your phone on a wireless charger at night. The holding loop serves a second function as well since you can rest the phone on it like a built-in stand.

Each GrabTab retails for $10 and comes with free shipping or $5 two-day shipping as long as you’re in the U.S. You can also find a few of the new designs, as well as older more simple designs, on Speck’s Amazon page. Now Speck has introduced several new series. The brand new collections feature more than 90 designs with different colo…

Is Apple engaging in anti-competitive behavior by removing parental control apps from the App Store, or is it protecting the security and privacy of children by removing apps that misuse mobile device management?

Rather watch than read? Hit play on the video above!

”Apple cracks down on apps that fight iPhone addiction.”

That’s not the Onion. That’s not Saturday Night Live. That’s an actual headline from the New York Times, the Gray Lady, the paper of record.

The Times could have also, easily, used a different headline:

”Apple removes child-targeting potential spyware from the App Store.”

It’s just as absurd but in no way less accurate. I don’t know if it would bait any fewer clicks, but I do know the Times just shouldn’t be in that business either way. It should, not to get all Aaron Sorkin for a moment, be the business of informing its readers, of speaking truth to stupid.

Now, I hate the term fake news. I hate it. It’s a political construct and not an informational one….

Want to see what’s going with tvOS 12.3? The public beta is now available. Here’s how to download it!

tvOS 12.3 is coming down the line, though Apple has yet to say anything about it. Ahead of its arrival, Apple is letting interested users check it out beforehand with a public beta.

Apple occasionally offers updates to iOS, watchOS, tvOS, and macOS as closed developer previews or public betas for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac (sadly, no public beta for the Apple Watch). While the betas contain new features, they also contain pre-release bugs that can prevent the normal use of your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, or Mac, and are not intended for everyday use on a primary device. That’s why we strongly recommend staying away from developer previews unless you need them for software development, and using the public betas with caution. If you depend on your devices, wait for the final release.

If you’re interested in trying out the tvOS 12.3 public beta, just sign on up f…

macOS Mojave, the next generation of Mac software, is now available as a public beta.

Apple has been offering public betas for macOS for a couple of years now as a way for those interested in testing out the upcoming software on their Macs, and providing feedback. If that’s you, you’ll need to sign up, enroll your Mac, download the macOS Mojave beta (version 10.14.5), and install it. It’s not an overly complicated process, but we’re here to walk you through it and, if you need it, a place to get extra help.

Looking to try out iOS 12.3? The public beta is now available. Here’s how to download it!

iOS 12.3 is on its way with features that need to be tested before the software is made available to the general public. As such, Apple is letting interested users check out iOS 12.3 and provide feedback before it goes into wide release.

If you’re one of those interested users, however, you will have to go through the public beta download and install process. While it’s not complicated, it’s a bit of a departure for how you might normally get software onto your iPhone or iPad. So, we’re going to walk you through it and give you a place to ask questions if you need extra help.

Torchic Community Day, Go Fest Chicago, and more!

Looking for a new vehicle that supports CarPlay? Here’s a list of the cars that have integrated Apple’s hands-free feature.

In the market for a new car — one with CarPlay? Apple has posted a list of compatible vehicles on its site — and new ones are showing up every month. With more than 100 models already supporting the hands-free feature — and others announcing support for future models — it can be confusing trying to figure out if your future vehicle has CarPlay enabled.

Never fear: iMore is here. Here’s a current list of the cars that Apple says support CarPlay, and we’ll keep the list updated as more announcements are made. Keep in mind, CarPlay is often packaged as an option for these vehicles, so you may need to jump to a higher price point in order to take advantage of it.

As noted by Car and Driver, Toyota will be offering an update for its 2018 Camry and Sien…

Installing the tvOS 12.3 beta is more complex than an iOS or macOS beta, but it’s also for developers only.

Just like with iOS and macOS, Apple makes beta versions of tvOS available for developers to test. But unlike the betas for other systems, installing it on the Apple TV (4th generation) or Apple TV 4K is more complicated than a simple download and go. If you’re a developer and you’re having trouble getting the tvOS beta installed, here’s what you need to do.

Unlike Apple’s other operating systems, you can’t back up your Apple TV; as such, Apple offers two options for updating tvOS: over the air, which just updates the system; and via USB-C, which restores the device to its factory settings.

What’s new in the tvOS 12.3 beta?

April 29, 2019: Apple releases tvOS 12.3 beta 4 for developers

Apple has just released the fourth tvOS 12.3 beta for developers. If you already have a previous tvOS beta installed, proceed to System > Software Updates and download away. If you’ve been…
