When Apple released iOS 12.1 Update on October 29, 2018, it also restored the keyboard layout where the “Numeric Key” and the “Emoji/Language Key” were in place of each other.
Now it looks like the 2018 iPad Pro, we have only the 11-inch model, still has the two keys swapped.
Mazda has announced the availability of Apple CarPlay™ and Android™ Auto retrofit on select models.
The retrofit includes installing new software and 2.1-amp USB ports. The retrofit costs 399.95 USD + Tax in the United States.
We’ve received the iPad Pro Smart Folio and Apple Pencil 2, the former last week and the latter today. The iPad Pro is still being shipped at this time.
Bang Your Heads Like It Is 1988… again!
The reissue and expanded version of “…And Justice For All” is coming on November 2, 2018.
Thanks to Metallica.com, we get the Cassette and 3CD versions a little bit early; the Box Set is scheduled to arrive on the release date.
“…And Justice For All” (Wikipedia) was originally released on August 25, 1988. It was the first full-length record featuring Jason Newsted on bass, filling in for Cliff Burton who was tragically killed in a bus accident on September 27, 1986. The song “One” is notable for being the first video single from Metallica. It was also nominated and won for the first Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance.
This reissue is remastered but not remixed. For those who hoped for the bass tracked to be turned up in the mixed shouldn’t hold their breath.
The Cassette version also comes with MP3 Download card.

I encountered a similar bug in iOS 10 when the iPhone was having trouble activating Wi-Fi right waking up. The issue persisted after clean install iOS and restoring from backup. Obviously the bug persisted in the backup itself, both in iTunes and iCloud. Restoring and setting up the iPhone as new device would definitely eliminated the problem; but it did not fix the bug.
I filed bug report and Apple Engineering team asked me to send diagnostic data of my phone. Subsequently, this particular bug was fixed.
A similar bug was introduced in iOS 12 beta 7 where the iPhone became unresponsive. Shortly after, Apple released iOS 12 beta 8 and the Wi-Fi bug became prominent. The behavior can be reproduced by turning off and turning on the iPhone. After unlocking the iPhone, Wi-Fi would not activate. This bug also present when iPhone lost Wi-Fi connection.
The bug still persists after reseting the iPhone, installing iOS 12 and restoring from the iCloud or iTunes backup. The bug is not present when the iPhone is set up as a new device.
Setting up the iPhone as new device means losing a lot of data that lives only in the iPhone backup.
