After experiencing it a bit, I do agree with others, there is nothing significant. But what hurts me is the pathetic battery backup I am getting. It’s down to 10-12 hours from 20-22 hours ![[frustration]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Frustration.gif "Frustration [frustration]")

Apple rolls out iOS 12.1 second beta with fix for charging issue, 70 new emojis and more
Two days ago, we reported about a few Apple iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max users facing issues with charging on their devices. Users complained that their iPhones were failing to detect the lightning cable when being in the standby mode. In order to start charging, users had to tap the screen or press the standby button. In some cases, unplugging the cable and plugging it back again was required. Now, Apple is providing a fix for that problem in second beta version of the iOS 12.1 update it is rolling out today.

Guys,is iPhone XR a good buy?Thinking to buy one in Jan 2019 in black colour as I'm getting fed up with my iPhone SE,which screen is small and due to this,my eyes are getting distracted.Or else,will go for iPhone 8 or 8 Plus as I don't want to spend Rs.25000-30000 extra on iPhone XS,which costs Rs.1L here.If I'm lucky enough,I might get an XS or XS Max for myself from abroad just like how I got iPhone X from US this year.Even thinking to replace my dad's 2 year old Oneplus 3 too with an iPhone.Is iPhone 7 Plus worth to buy now at Rs.50000 or make him purchase iPhone 8 or 8 Plus?His usage is mostly Whatsapp,Youtube(he watches videos) and Facebook.So,battery backup is important for him.
I might change my iPhone in another 3 months as I'm not in a hurry to buy now and got bored with small screened phones.Will wait for initial reviews and buy one soon.

Apple iPad Pro (2018) launched with Face ID, USB-C port and A12 Bionic chipset: Price, Specifications
Apple is introducing the new 2018 iPad Pro in 11-inch and 12.9-inch screen sizes like in the past, but the devices have much smaller footprint thanks to the new edge-to-edge display design. While newer iPhones feature an OLED display, the new iPad Pro sticks to Retina LCD displays but offers higher resolution and pixel density. In terms of design, the new iPad Pro features a boxier design that we last saw on iPhone 5 series.

Disappointing iPhone XR reception forces Apple to cut short on production
A report by Nikkei Asian Review signals that the iPhone XR hasn’t received the reception that Apple anticipated from it and has instead forced the Cupertino giant to rethink its production plan. As it turns out, Apple has demanded that Foxconn and Pegatron cut its production line for the budget model.

Since I hate marketing hyperbole, I would like to clarify certain claims:
Apple watch’s ECG is technically just a rhythm strip, not a ECG. At most it can be classified as 1 lead ECG ( Normal ECG has 12 leads). It monitors the heart pulse and if there is irregularity, it reports it. The irregularity can be due to anxiety and emotion like watching India lose match or seeing petrol price at petrol bunk! Thus it need not be due to genuine AFib (Atrial Fibrillation).
In fact, FDA clearance certificate clearly states the following:
In other words, notification of AFib doesn’t mean you have AFib and absence of AFib notification doesn’t mean you don’t have AFib!!
It is also worth noting that the feature will be available only in US by this month end. There is no news of availability of this feature for other countries.
Lastly, this is not the first wearable AFib monitor to be cleared by FDA as claimed by Apple![[lol]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Laugh.gif "Laugh [lol]")
. Alivecor’s Kardia Band was cleared years ago by FDA and has been selling for years now. In fact, it is a popular Apple watch accessory.

I wasn't aware that there is a wearable device with the Afib monitor already in market. Was under the impression apple was the first. They are good to market :) Got the software update for the EKG app on iwatch and seems to be a good prelim indicator for any abnormalities. Definitely agree this is not a full fledged EKG.

Next-gen Apple AirPods 2 might get 'Hey Siri' command support
Like Google and other companies, Apple added a wake-up command to its AI Assistant Siri. The keyword ‘Hey Siri’ wakes up Siri on iPhones and iPads and the following commands prompts Siri to initiate the task. But Apple AirPods do not have support for this function yet. Instead AirPod users have to double-tap the AirPods to initiate Siri and then ask it to do something.
