With each major version, iOS adds more and more capabilities, which unfortunately means that some of them aren’t always evident, providing for fantastic TikTok material for “things you didn’t know about your iPhone.” Example, you’re surely familiar with Apple’s long-standing continuity capabilities and the newer Universal Control – copying and pasting URLs from your phone to your laptop isn’t novel. Even former Apple workers were unaware, as demonstrated above, that you can now pick up and drop photographs between your iPhone and iPad using the pinch motion, as if you were some kind of tech-savvy sorcerer who rolled a natural 20 on arcana.
It’s the same old things that have been available for months, but now they’re cooler and more wizard-like. You should be OK as long as you’re using two touch-screen Apple devices with the same Apple ID. Congratulations if you already knew about this. However, out of a group of five procrastinating writers in the TechCrunch Slack watercooler channel, 100% of us had no idea you could do this.
Tesla’s first-quarter delivery and production data comes under mounting pressure in China, where the government has imposed lockdowns due to an increase in COVID-19 instances. In March, Tesla shut down production at its Shanghai facility twice. The Tesla Gigafactory in Shanghai manufactures roughly 2,000 vehicles each day, principally Model Ys and Model 3s for Chinese and European customers. As additional plants come online, Tesla’s output has increased compared to the same quarter last year. Tesla manufactured slightly over 180,000 vehicles and delivered about 185,000 in the first quarter of 2021. Now that Tesla’s new facility in Berlin has started, production should continue to increase.
Apple revealed the new macOS 12 Monterey today at the WWDC conference. Universal Control, which expands on the Continuity capabilities previously introduced in OS X Yosemite, is a prominent feature of the macOS update. For years, you could read a news piece on your iPhone and continue reading it on your MacBook, or copy and paste a link from your iPad to your iMac. Universal Control, on the other hand, takes these characteristics a step farther. With Universal Control, you may browse across various Apple devices with a single mouse and keyboard. This capability may be used to travel between more than two devices; in the sample video, the feature is utilized to move between an iPad, MacBook, and iMac.
Users may drag and drop files across numerous devices at the same time, allowing them to employ a multi-screen arrangement when editing video in Final Cut Pro, for example. What’s possible with Universal Control isn’t exactly new; third-party apps have already made it feasible. In addition, Apple released Sidecar in 2019, which allowed customers to connect their iPad to their MacBook or iMac as a second display. Universal Control, on the other hand, builds on Sidecar by allowing customers to link any Apple device together, even if it isn’t an iPad. Though this update isn’t revolutionary, it does provide a beneficial boost to current functions.
