The MacFormat team debates the hot Apple issues of the day, using their iPhones of course!

The team’s views on the latest Apple tech

I’ve got a feeling the next upgrade won’t be that dramatic. The latest iPad didn’t really rock the boat, but then Apple already had a great product. And iOS is impressive too. I’m worried about the upgrade… Apple is stopping support for 32-bit apps, isn’t it? There’s no need to panic about that. In fact, p47 of this issue explains how to check out your apps in advance! It’s the new stuff and improvements I’m interested in… Sometimes even minor tweaks can make a big difference. I’ve heard you might be able to ‘lock’ individual apps. With kids wanting to play on my iPhone or my iPad all the time, that would be really useful. And talk of multiple user accounts, which we’ve been after for a while. Group chats in FaceTime could be a fun tweak! Mind you, I’ve also seen leaked images of a Watch style interface, and I’m not sure I want that kind of look or operating style on my phone… I want to see Mail get a bit more clever, and a customisable Control Center. Give me updates here, and I’ll be happy. For a while…
